Yunying knew her young lady's ability and determination, and was not overly worried about the outcome, but she was always concerned about the original wife who was innocently involved in the turmoil.

Based on the character of Mrs. Chen as portrayed by Sheng Junwei, the original wife might be in a precarious situation and could face life-threatening danger at any time.

For them, uncovering the truth is the only way out.

Otherwise, the original wife and her children will always live in the shadow and be at the mercy of others.

While I was thinking, the carriage had already stopped steadily in front of the gate of No. 20 Jinma Street.

Everyone got off the carriage, and Chen Jinghao stared at Sheng Weier: "I will expose your lies right now! You will have nothing to say!"

He turned to Pei Yu again, and said firmly: "Brother Yu, once it is proven that she is talking nonsense, I hope you can give me an explanation and give my mother justice!"

Pei Yu's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible worry. He hesitated to speak, and finally just patted Chen Jinghao's shoulder gently and whispered, "Brother Chen, don't be impulsive. Let's wait until we go in and take a look before we decide."

"Bang!" Chen Jinghao kicked open the heavy gate, sending wood chips flying.

Everything in the courtyard came into Chen Jinghao's eyes, like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

I saw the usually dignified and solemn father Chen Ze sitting at the table with a loving face, patiently and carefully teaching a young man to copy calligraphy.

At one side, a woman dressed in coarse linen and with a quiet temperament walked out slowly from the house, holding a bowl of steaming soup on a tray in her hand.

Chen Jinghao's eyes turned red instantly and his lips trembled slightly.

His sudden intrusion broke this seemingly ordinary warmth.

The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale and the tray in her hands slipped.

Chen Ze turned around when he heard the voice and saw his son almost collapsed. A trace of panic flashed across his face.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his usual calmness.

He ignored Chen Jinghao who was standing there in a daze, and walked quickly towards the frightened woman, asking with concern: "Are you burned? Be careful."

Chen Jinghao looked at the scene in front of him, his heart was broken, and he roared: "Dad! Are you worthy of my mother?"

He wanted to rush forward to question his father, but was blocked by the young man. He could only watch his father and the woman from afar.

The next day, Chen Ze made a surprising decision. He resolutely divorced Mo and told everyone the reason honestly.

When the news spread, everyone who knew them was shocked.

When people learned about Mo's past bad behavior, although a few people thought that things had come to a point where they might as well just let it go, more people expressed their sincere appreciation for Chen Ze's decision.

……

Sheng Weier was sitting in the carriage returning to the prime minister's residence, and she and Pei Yu were sitting in silence.

She chose to close her eyes and rest, regulating her breathing while silently digesting the sudden golden light of merit in her body.

She was quite surprised at the emergence of this power.

This time she taught Chen Jinghao a lesson completely out of selfish motives and did not expect any reward, but she did not expect that her action would be regarded as a good deed, and the merit bestowed upon her was even greater than the sum of the previous two times.

She guessed that perhaps it was because she saved two lives that she was able to accumulate such great merit.

Just as she lowered her head in thought, Pei Yu on the opposite side suddenly broke the silence in the car: "Sorry."

Sheng Weier was slightly surprised and looked up at him: "What did you say?"

Pei Yu avoided her gaze, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but his tone remained firm: "I said, I'm sorry for doubting your ability."

The reality is irrefutable, Pei Yu witnessed Sheng Weier's ability with his own eyes.

In addition, Zhang specifically mentioned the matter of Pei Ping recently. With his wisdom, he naturally understood that if Sheng Weier had not found the hidden traitor, the Prime Minister's Mansion would probably have been in an irretrievable situation by now.

Not only would he be unable to take part in the imperial examination, he was also afraid that his family would be implicated and face a catastrophic disaster.

Sheng Weier did not show much emotion in response to Pei Yu's apology, but just responded calmly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Pei Yu recalled the various rumors about Sheng Weier in the capital, and he felt deeply regretful. He claimed that he had seen countless people and had a pair of wise eyes that could see through people's hearts, but he easily lost his way when faced with stereotypes.

He tried to find excuses for his words and actions: "A year ago, when I was away studying, I was attacked by a large number of thugs. I was seriously injured, and it was Yue Er who saved me."

Sheng Junwei's face was full of confusion and surprise.

When had she ever shown any interest in their romance?

She could only respond with a polite smile and patiently listen to this love story that could not be more familiar.

According to Pei Yu, after that incident, he gradually recovered under Han Yueer's care.

She lit up Pei Yu's world and made him obsessed with her. He even had the idea of ​​abandoning the hustle and bustle of the world and becoming a fairy couple with her in the countryside.

After hearing this, Sheng Junwei shook her head and sighed, "So that's how it is. No wonder mother is so resistant to Miss Han."

Pei Yu was choked by these words and asked, "Why is this happening?"

Sheng Junwei glanced at him sideways, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Just imagine, if I were your mother, the son who was raised with great difficulty, and I could ignore my parents' worries and the honor of my family for a woman, I'm afraid no one would be happy to accept it."

Pei Yu was speechless, but suddenly realized.

"I was born in the prime minister's mansion, and my parents have always hoped that I could marry a woman of equal family background. Although Yue'er comes from the countryside, she is very talented and has a broad vision, but my mother may find it difficult to accept her identity. I just... I just don't want to see my mother angry and sad about this."

Sheng Junwei raised her lips in a mocking arc: "In my opinion, you just want to make your mother extremely angry so that she will be unable to stop you."

Looking back, Pei Yu disappeared mysteriously for three whole months. Zhang cried every day, feeling terrified and almost cried herself blind.

Prime Minister Pei also suffered from sleepless nights. In just a few months, he began to look very old.

However, Pei Yu was able to get out of bed and move around less than half a month after the injury.

If he could send someone to inform his parents in time and bring the benefactor who risked his life to save him back to the capital, although Prime Minister Pei and his wife might be bothered by Han Yue'er's background, they might not flatly refuse considering that she was their son's savior.

However, what about Pei Yu?

He was worried that his mother might be dissatisfied with Han Yue'er's background, so he kept putting it off, hoping to find a way that his parents would accept before making any plans.

His indecision undoubtedly exacerbated the escalation of the conflict.

As for Han Yue'er, when she learned that Pei Yu had parents and family who loved him deeply, she did not remind him to tell the truth as soon as possible.

And when he learned that Prime Minister Pei and his wife expected him to marry a noble lady who could help him in his career, he suggested that Pei Yu give up everything and travel around the world with her, away from worldly troubles.
