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

Chapter 19: Driving Her Out of the Prime Minister's Residence

Zhang sneered, as if mocking Han Yue'er's explanation: "You keep saying that Wei'er is ignorant, but what happened last night just proves that you are the one who is ignorant."

She shook her gorgeous clothes gently, her tone getting colder and colder: "Although these jewels are not big, if they were given by Yu'er, I certainly wouldn't say anything. But they were bought with black money, Miss Han, you hand over these dirty things."

Han Yueer felt insulted as never before, "Why do you keep talking about black money?"

She sneered, as if she saw through Zhang's intentions: "You just want to take this opportunity to humiliate me, but I tell you, I, Han Yue'er, am different from you women who rely on men and are trapped in the mansion. If I leave here, I can not only survive, but also live a better life!"

After saying that, Han Yue'er walked away angrily, leaving silence behind her. She didn't take even a single thing of hers with her.

"Yuer!" Pei Yu was so anxious when he saw her that he quickly chased after her.

Zhang was prepared and shouted, "Someone, stop him!"

Her order was like an iron chain, trying to lock Pei Yu in place.

Pei Yu was so anxious that his eyebrows were burning with anxiety: "Mom! Yue'er is alone in the city, without any relatives or friends, how can I not go to find her?"

His voice was filled with worry and pleading.

Zhang sneered, with sarcasm in her words: "She said that she doesn't need to rely on men and can live well even if she leaves here. Don't you like her like this?"

Her words were like a knife, piercing Pei Yu's heart.

Pei Yu was speechless for a moment and had no idea what to say.

Zhang continued, "Although Pei Sheng's matter had nothing to do with her, those gifts bought with black money did end up in her hands. You are not allowed to see her again until you find out whether she knowingly asked Pei Sheng to buy them for her or whether Pei Sheng decided to give them to her privately."

Zhang turned her gaze to the servant beside her and ordered sternly, "Keep an eye on the young master. If I find out that he is meeting that woman in private, I will hold you accountable!"

At this time, Sheng Junwei woke up slowly, and Yunying reported in time: "Miss, the Madam is so powerful, she has already driven that woman out of the house!"

Sheng Junwei's eyes flashed with surprise, and she opened her mouth slightly, "Did Pei Yu agree?"

Although she was born with the ability to read faces and predict the ups and downs of a person's life, for those who are related to her by blood or have special fates, her ability is like being covered by fog and she cannot see clearly.

Ever since the day when Lady Anping Hou came to visit, Prime Minister Pei and his wife seemed to have a deeper bond with her.

As a couple, she and Pei Yu, together with Han Yue'er, a woman with a special fate, the complex relationship between them gradually became a field that her fortune-telling skills could not reach.

Yunying found the right time to interrupt, her words carrying a hint of smugness: "My son-in-law was determined not to agree, but Madam used the unclear money that Han Yue'er had used to buy things to force her to leave. Han Yue'er has always been arrogant, saying that even if the Prime Minister's Mansion kowtowed to her and begged her to come back in the future, she would not respond, and she left without even packing her clothes."

A sly smile appeared on her lips, "My son-in-law wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by my wife."

When Sheng Junwei heard this, her eyes flashed slightly.

Zhang couldn't do anything to Han Yue'er before, all because Pei Yu protected her so well.

At that time, Han Yue'er was innocent and of low status, so Zhang had the upper hand.

Now, Han Yue'er not only helped Pei Sheng to get rid of the crime, but also accepted gifts from others of unknown origin, and suddenly turned from a victim to the guilty party.

Pei Yu knew that he was in the wrong and he couldn't resist this time, so he could only allow Han Yue'er to leave.

Sheng Junwei smiled coldly: "Don't worry, he won't be quiet for a few days."

Yunying's smile froze immediately, and she muttered in her heart: Miss, you are such a sinister person! Although it's the truth, can't you let me have some fun for a while?

In the next few days, Zhang transformed herself into an iron-faced female judge in the prime minister's residence, and searched the entire residence from top to bottom, uncovering several corrupt officials hiding in the dark.

Among them were Pei Sheng's parents. The couple was even greedier than Pei Sheng. Not only did they use their power to make money, they also bullied the servants in the mansion.

Zhang was extremely angry, but she was secretly glad in her heart.

These people have long been rotten to the core. They dared to embezzle a few thousand taels of silver today and bully a few servants with no background. Who knows what kind of cruel things they might do tomorrow. They might even learn from Pei Ping and be used as guns by others to deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After these hidden dangers were eliminated, the entire prime minister's residence felt much cleaner.

During this major cleanup, Zhang did not forget to give credit to Sheng Junwei.

She publicly praised the young lady's intelligence and sharpness, letting everyone know that our young lady has a sharp eye and anyone who wants to do bad things will not escape her eyes.

At this point, all those who were ready to make a move became obedient. Even those who had looked down on Sheng Junwei before because she had fallen out of favor quickly changed their attitude and showed her some respect.

That day, Mrs. Zhang came in person to thank Sheng Junwei.

She knew that Sheng Junwei liked gold, silver and jewelry, so she specially brought a brightly colored, high-quality gem as a gift.

Sheng Junwei was very happy, thinking about her previous life, she lived in the Duke's Mansion. Although her family was prominent and wealthy, her stingy mother-in-law, Mrs. Bai, had not given her a penny for more than 20 years.

Instead, she secretly filled the holes in the house, and when it came down to it, it amounted to several thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of this, she felt more and more that the Pei Mansion was a good home.

In the Pei Mansion, except Pei Yu, everyone else is as warm and friendly as the sunshine.

This harmonious and warm atmosphere was in stark contrast to the cold reception she received in the Duke's Mansion in her previous life, making her cherish it even more.

Old Mrs. Zhang sat for a long time, but still couldn't see Pei Yu. She couldn't help but frowned, "By the way, where is Yu'er?"

The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze for a moment, and Zhang's smile became a little stiff. She was about to explain, but Sheng Junwei spoke first.

"Grandma, Yu'er is studying hard in the study. After all, the imperial examination is coming soon, and he has been concentrating on his books during this period. He probably hasn't noticed you yet."

Sheng Junwei spoke in a calm tone, as if it were a normal thing.

When Zhang heard this, the tension in her heart suddenly relaxed, but at the same time she also felt a little guilty.

She knew that her daughter-in-law was very considerate, so no matter what Pei Yu did, she would protect his face and help him cover up his mistakes.

This patience and tolerance made Zhang's son look particularly stupid in comparison. It was as if his head was filled with straw. He turned a blind eye to the gentle and intellectual wife beside him, and instead fell in love with a rude and uncultured woman.

In fact, she did this not entirely for others, but more because she didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

She knew that Mrs. Zhang was eager to repay her gratitude. If she forced Pei Yu to come back, he might start to make wild guesses again.

She didn't want to keep explaining that she had no intention of interfering in Pei Yu and Han Yue'er's relationship. That kind of explanation was tiring and stressful.
