The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

"Mother, grandma is fine now, you don't have to worry."

Sheng Junwei's tone was calm, but her words were firm.

When Zhang heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. She held Sheng Junwei's hand even tighter, and her gratitude was beyond words.

"Weier, you are really the lucky star of our Zhang family!"

It turned out that she followed Sheng Junwei's suggestion and went back to her mother's house, Zhang Mansion, today.

Originally, Old Lady Zhang planned to go to Tianyin Temple on the outskirts of the city to burn incense and worship Buddha, but when she learned that her daughter was coming back, she had to temporarily put her trip on hold and sent a capable maid to burn incense and worship on her behalf.

However, things are unpredictable, and the maid was robbed on the way.

The bandits not only stole valuables, but also wanted to kill the maid to silence her, so they brutally stabbed her in the abdomen.

Fortunately, the blade missed the vital part, and the maid survived the life-and-death situation with her young body.

The doctor was filled with emotion. If that knife had fallen on the elderly and frail Madam Zhang, she would probably have died.

If Zhang had not followed Sheng Junwei's advice and returned home in time, she might have lost her loved ones and the protection of maternal love forever.

However, deep in her heart, she felt a little guilty towards the maid Ping'er.

"Weier, is Ping'er okay? I'm really worried about her..."

Sheng Junwei smiled gently upon hearing this and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Although the maid experienced this thrilling incident, it can be said to be a blessing in disguise. You see, there is a providence in the dark. She will surely live a prosperous, stable, safe and happy life in the future."

After hearing this, Zhang's tense heart immediately relaxed and she looked at her daughter-in-law with even greater admiration.

She turned her head slightly, looked at Aunt Li standing behind her, and whispered, "Aunt Li, take out the things."

Aunt Li responded and walked forward with brisk steps, holding a wooden box in her hand.

This is a new set of headdresses, made with the craftsmanship of the Treasure Pavilion. The main color is warm red, with several light blue gems cleverly embedded in the middle, which is both solemn and full of charm.

When Sheng Junwei saw this scene, she quickly estimated the value of this set of jewelry in her mind - six thousand taels of silver.

She secretly sighed that the Pei family was simply a blessed place. In just a few days, the benefits she gained here had exceeded the total income from her previous hard work.

If Pei Yu no longer disturbs her peace for no reason in the future, then living a peaceful life here would not be a bad thing.

What she had always dreamed of was a place that could use the entire Yunyi Pavilion as a spirit gathering array. A conservative estimate would cost two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Thinking back to her previous life, although she and Zheng Yiyang had been promoted all the way and their status became more and more stable, they were never able to realize their dreams.

……

Sheng Junwei was concentrating on drawing the rune. It was late at night and there was only the flickering candle on the desk, reflecting her focused and resolute face. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Only the scent of ink and the rune paper intertwined to form a protective barrier.

After working for most of the night, Sheng Junwei finally finished drawing the talisman paper.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window. After Sheng Junwei had eaten a carefully prepared breakfast, she was thinking about her plan in her mind.

Using the excuse of touring the mansion, he took a leisurely stroll in the courtyard.

It looked like she was just walking around casually, but in fact, there were mechanisms hidden in every step. She had already thought of the location of each node in the formation, and she quietly and cleverly hid the talisman paper that replaced the formation flags in the appropriate place.

Yunying stayed by Sheng Junwei's side all the time, chattering non-stop in her ear.

As the personal maid of the legitimate young lady, she was well aware of the rumors about Yuexia Pavilion: "Do you know that last night, after returning home, the son-in-law went directly to Yuexia Pavilion, but was stopped outside the door and was not even allowed to enter."

Yunying shook her head with pretended regret, her eyes gleaming with gossip: "Alas, my son-in-law is really useless. He was locked outside and actually waited outside for most of the night, and only went in at midnight. I heard that he slept until the morning today, so the morning class in the academy must have ended by now."

Although she knew that her young lady's love for money far outweighed her pursuit of being pampered, Yunying still felt unfair for her.

But seeing that the young lady didn't seem to care, I told these things as jokes, hoping to make her happy.

In someone else's backyard, this kind of thing would be enough to cause a huge uproar, and the mistresses would probably have lost their minds long ago.

However, Yunying knew that her young lady was not an ordinary woman. If she said she didn't care, she really didn't care. Instead, she was happy to watch the drama of this emotional dispute from the sidelines.

When Sheng Junwei heard the news, she smiled teasingly, "Oh, so that's why Pei Yu has to wait until the next imperial examination."

She fell into deep thought. "With such a clingy little goblin by his side, even if he wanted to focus on his career, he probably wouldn't be able to do so. But to be honest, he is really smart and talented. If he hadn't been held back by this kind of thing, he would have definitely become famous in this imperial examination."

As she walked, Sheng Junwei suddenly felt that the scenery in front of her had a unique charm, so she slowed down her pace.

On a stone bridge not far away, a woman was standing with her hands behind her back in the morning light.

She was wearing a tight black dress, and her graceful figure was even more seductive under the sunlight, but her cold face formed a sharp contrast with this charm.

Seeing this, Yunying whispered to Sheng Junwei, "Miss, that's the proprietress of Yuexia Pavilion."

When these words came out, Sheng Junwei's heart trembled slightly. This was the first time she ran into her husband's confidante outside.

She was fanning herself gently, as if all the noise around her was swept away by the breeze brought by the fan, leaving her quietly waiting for that person to appear, just like the moon illuminating a cold deep pool, the water surface was calm and waveless.

Han Yue'er stood there for a long time. The air around her seemed to become colder because of her waiting, and the coldness spread like a tide.

Her face darkened, a chill emanated from her body, and she walked forward firmly.

As the distance between the two people got closer, Han Yueer's face became clearer in the moonlight.

She spoke, her voice as clear as the sound of an icy spring: "Ayu has already told me that this marriage is not voluntary for you, and I won't blame you for it."

However, before she finished speaking, Han Yue'er's eyes immediately became sharp: "What you can get is just an empty title of Young Madam. You'd better not have any bad ideas about anything else, otherwise, the consequences will not be something you can bear."

After hearing this, Sheng Junwei raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself: I haven't even caused any trouble for her yet, but she's taking the initiative to provoke me?

"What do you mean by 'other things'?"

Han Yueer raised her neck, "Ayu's love."

After hearing this, Sheng Junwei couldn't help but laugh.
