Seeing Sheng Junwei and the others looking so leisurely, he was so angry that he almost passed out.

She is the famous King of the Night, but now she is being treated like a monkey for fun. How can she bear this?

Sheng Junwei always had a meaningful smile on her face: "Miss Han, do you feel now that you were a little short-sighted before?"

Han Yue'er was already upset, and hearing Sheng Junwei's instigation only added fuel to the fire.

"You..." Her teeth were grinding, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.

"Yuer! That's enough, that's enough..." At the critical moment, Pei Yu hurried over and hugged Han Yueer in his arms.

He stared at Sheng Junwei, frowning, his eyes frighteningly cold, "You do have some ability, but this cannot be a reason for you to bully others and take human lives lightly. Pei Sheng has worked in this Xiangfu since he was a child and is loyal to the Xiangfu. You actually said that you can deal with him at any time as long as you want. This is too outrageous."

Sheng Junwei did not flinch at Pei Yu's accusation, "Loyal? Does it mean that every time he goes out to buy things, he secretly takes advantage of our family's money? Or does he know that Miss Han is your beloved, and he still has improper thoughts about her?"

Her words were like poisoned arrows, piercing the hearts of everyone present.

When Prime Minister Pei and his wife heard this, they sat up straight immediately as if they had been hit by a club.

They had witnessed with their own eyes how powerful Sheng Junwei was, and now they had no doubt about the truthfulness of her words.

Han Yue'er couldn't stand it any longer and struggled to break free from Pei Yu's arms.

She was so strong that she shook Pei Yu, who was 1.9 meters tall, and almost made him fall to the ground.

She pointed at Sheng Junwei, her voice shaking, "We are both women, how come you don't know how vicious it is to spread rumors! How can you frame me so wantonly?"

Sheng Junwei looked at Han Yue'er's questioning expression with an innocent look: "I just said that he had fantasies about you, I didn't say that you were also interested in him, how can this be considered a rumor? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Han Yue'er was speechless and stood there.

Pei Sheng stood up excitedly when he saw it, "Madam, even if you have the ability, you can't talk nonsense and wrongly accuse us! Except that Miss Han once saved my life, she and I are innocent and there is no private relationship at all!"

Pei Yuyi's face darkened. "You are slandering her maliciously like this, and it is very likely to drive her to a dead end! How can you be so cruel?"

However, Sheng Junwei turned a deaf ear to his questions and kept her eyes fixed on Pei Sheng, as if she was watching a carefully choreographed performance.

She applauded and raised a thorny smile: "You are so funny. You pretend to be deaf and dumb when the matter of embezzlement is mentioned. You just try your best to distance yourself from Miss Han. It seems that you have really put a lot of thought into clearing your name."

Pei Sheng was furious when he heard this: "Young Madam, be careful with your words! I am loyal to the Prime Minister's Mansion and would never do such a despicable thing! If you continue to wrongly accuse me, I... I can only prove my innocence by dying!"

Sheng Junwei didn't care about his threats at all and said calmly: "It's useless even if you die. The evidence of your crime will not disappear just because you commit suicide out of fear of the crime."

Her words were as cold as the winter wind, piercing directly into people's hearts.

Han Yue'er couldn't stand these groundless accusations and stood up to speak for Pei Sheng: "Stop talking nonsense here! Pei Sheng is just an ordinary servant. When I met him half a month ago, he was being bullied by the steward of the mansion. How could such a person embezzle money?"

Sheng Junwei's eyes were sharp, and she asked mercilessly: "Do you really think that Pei Sheng's current treatment is due to the harshness of the steward, rather than his own greed and stealing things from the mansion, which forced the steward to use means to force him to admit the facts and recover the losses of the Xiangfu?"

Prime Minister Pei has now completely put away his previous mentality of watching the fun.

His expression was serious, and he gave a decisive order: "Come here, go and call the chief steward."

Soon, the chief steward Pei Hai received the order and came to the wall with a confused look on his face.

Prime Minister Pei got straight to the point, his voice steady but dignified: "Pei Hai, half a month ago, did you look for Pei Sheng about the matter in the mansion?"

When the chief steward heard this, his expression tensed up, and he immediately replied, "My lord, I found that there were many problems with Pei Sheng's accounts. When we reconciled them, they always didn't match, so I wanted to ask him for clarification. However, just when I was about to have him arrested and questioned, Miss Han rushed over with her men and drove us all away, saying that if we dared to provoke Pei Sheng again, we would be in trouble."

Han Yueer retorted coldly, "You guys are a bunch of grown men, teaming up to bully a weak person. Do you think there are still people in this world who have a sense of justice and can sit back and watch this happen without doing anything?"

The housekeeper's face was full of bitterness, and he tried to explain: "I have said it before, this is not intentional against Pei Sheng, it is because of his misconduct, we want to find out the truth. But Miss Han just won't listen, and is determined to protect him."

When Zhang heard this, she slammed the table in anger and said, "Such a big thing, why didn't you report it earlier?"

She was furious, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the housekeeper's handling of the matter.

The housekeeper seemed even more wronged: "Madam, calm down. At that time, the mansion was busy arranging the young master's wedding, and everyone had no time to care about other things. In addition, Pei Sheng was later transferred to Yuexia Pavilion by the young master to work. I thought that the young master condoned his behavior, so I didn't dare to investigate casually."

Pei Yu frowned slightly and analyzed calmly: "Until there is irrefutable evidence, we cannot say that Pei Sheng is the one with dirty hands and feet."

Although his words were a bit critical, they were still fair.

Sheng Junwei looked impatient, yawned lazily, and said bluntly: "In fact, as long as we open the secret compartment under his bed, there are HSBC bank deposit receipts hidden inside. We can use those receipts to find out how much public funds he has embezzled."

"Besides, the guys at the pork stall, cloth shop, and grocery store he frequented are all living witnesses. They all know how big the difference is between the purchase price that Pei Sheng privately quoted to them and the price reported to our house."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Pei ordered a thorough investigation without hesitation.

In a blink of an eye, everyone in the mansion took action. About two hours later, the managers of each farm came back one after another with account books to report.

Pei Yu personally took charge and carefully checked the account books one by one.

Time passed slowly as he turned the pages, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

Except for the small grocery store whose owner was illiterate and didn't keep accounts, the account books of the other stores were clear at a glance, written in black and white, and there was no way to deny it.

The account book clearly recorded the transaction details between the mansion and the cloth shop.
