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

Then, she took out a piece of talisman paper with a faint glow from her sleeve: "This amulet is given to you. It can help you avoid a disaster."

Her movements were gentle and dignified, as if she were delivering a precious gift.

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper's face suddenly blossomed with surprise: "Oh, Madam, how can I be so worthy of this!"

Having said that, he couldn't wait to take the amulet with both hands and held it in his arms with great care.

Pei Yu, who was standing aside, felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart: Why could the butler easily receive this gift, while he seemed to have to pay a higher price?

The housekeeper put away the amulet and suddenly realized something, and asked anxiously, "Young Madam, are you going on a long journey? Is she on some official business?"

His tone was full of concern and confusion.

Sheng Junwei shook her head gently, her voice calm and resolute: "From now on, I will no longer be the young lady of the Pei Mansion, please don't call me by the wrong name again."

These words seemed to have severed all ties with the past, leaving behind determination and freedom.

The butler stood there in a daze, watching Sheng Junwei and her group walk past him and slowly towards the mansion gate.

He slapped his forehead suddenly, turned around and wanted to find Prime Minister Pei to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't know that all this was irreversible.

When Prime Minister Pei finally arrived in a hurry, he saw only an empty hall and the housekeeper's face full of embarrassment and helplessness.

"Rebel!"

Prime Minister Pei's roar echoed in the empty mansion, and his chest heaved violently with anger.

However, Pei Yu was not present at the moment, and all the scolding seemed so powerless.

As Sheng Junwei was leaving, she looked back, her eyes swept across the crowd that followed closely behind her, and finally landed on Rouer: "Take these things to Shengqi Charity Organization first, I'll meet up with you after I finish the things at hand."

Her voice was calm and firm, and every word she said exuded unquestionable authority.

Pei Yu suddenly remembered something, and said with a hint of hesitation: "You...you haven't found a place to live yet? I have an empty house..."

"Mr. Pei."

Sheng Junwei's voice was flat and distant, "You and I are no longer husband and wife. We are unrelated people, so there is no need to interfere too much in each other's lives."

The corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile, which was a kind of confidence and certainty in her future. "I, Sheng Junwei, will never fall to the point of living in the open even if I leave the Sheng family and the Pei Mansion."

Pei Yu wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he could only swallow back all the words in his heart and let out a silent sigh.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted to Han Yueer, the woman who claimed to be independent but was always dependent on others.

Han Yueer often claims to be an independent woman. She talks big every day and vows to make a living in the world with her own strength. However, in reality, she rarely gets to stand on her own.

She was indeed clever and could always fight back quickly when faced with bullying, but it seemed unsatisfactory to say that she had any astonishing talents.

For example, she had intended to use the funds she obtained from Chen Jinghao to start a business, but has not seen any results so far; she accepted a bounty mission in order to make money, but in the end it was Sheng Junwei who completed the mission, and Han Yueer only got a little bit of profit through arguments.

Even the place where she lives now was a gift from Pei Yu, not something she earned through her own efforts.

However, Han Yue'er always likes to accuse Sheng Junwei of being a parasite who depends on the Pei and Sheng mansions.

Thinking of this, Pei Yu felt a dull pain in his head, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on him.

"Let's go."

A sudden voice in his ear interrupted his thoughts.

"what?"

Pei Yu didn't react for a moment.

Sheng Junwei looked at him helplessly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Aren't you going to exorcise the evil spirit for your sweetheart?"

Pei Yu was silent for a moment, and finally said: "...She and I are over."

When Sheng Junwei heard this, she found it absurd.

For the sake of a woman he had already broken up with, he was willing to accept the fate of being divorced. The word "break up" seemed to have a weight in his heart that she could hardly understand.

She had no special feelings for Pei Yu, but she felt that the whole thing was full of irony.

Seeing that she didn't care about it at all, Pei Yu couldn't help feeling anxious.

Sheng Junwei no longer wanted to have anything to do with him. She just wanted to resolve the problem with Han Yueer as soon as possible and draw a clear line with these people from now on.

It turned out that she was wrong from the beginning. She thought that with the kindness of Prime Minister Pei and his wife, and the fact that Pei Yu had someone he liked, as long as they didn't disturb her life, she could be content with the status quo.

What she valued was the peace that being the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Pei brought her.

Unfortunately, Pei Yu's emotional entanglement eventually broke this tranquility.

If she continued to stay in Pei Mansion, she would have to consider the face of Prime Minister Pei and his wife and could not take any action against Pei Yu.

But now that they have divorced, she is no longer bound by any constraints.

Soon, the two came to a small and exquisite courtyard.

This property is located in a prosperous area of ​​the capital. Although it is not as magnificent as the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is a residence that only the rich and noble can own.

The house does not occupy a large area, but due to its superior geographical location, it is priceless and beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Pei Yu saw Sheng Junwei examining the house, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He quickly explained, "Before, Yue'er had nowhere to go, so I let her stay here temporarily."

There was a hint of apology in his tone, as if he was seeking forgiveness for his previous decision.

Sheng Junwei had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, it was a thing of the past and there was no point in bringing it up again.

But Pei Yu insisted on bringing up the old matter again, so she had to respond coldly: "It is not unfair for you to accept this divorce letter. Your legal wife is still alive, but you are looking for a new lover outside."

There was a hint of coldness in her smile, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife. "For the sake of Prime Minister Pei, I will not expose you. Otherwise, based on this stain alone, I'm afraid your eighth-rank official position will be difficult to keep."

Pei Yu was silent. He knew that Minister Fan did not let Han Yue'er stay in the mansion to recuperate due to concerns about the difference between men and women, but out of gratitude to his benefactor and sympathy for the Nanping Village incident, he privately arranged accommodation for Han Yue'er.

After Minister Fan learned about this, he and his wife went to visit in person. All of this was based on repaying kindness and upholding justice.

Now, all of this seemed to have become a heavy burden on his mind.

When Pei Yu proposed to step out of the mansion to find a good way to help Han Yue'er recover, Minister Fan resolutely stepped forward, took the initiative to assume the responsibility of staying behind, and carefully instructed his wife to take good care of the weak Han Yue'er.

On the eve of his departure, Pei Yu deliberately left behind the amulet given to him by Sheng Junwei. It was an exquisite and small jade pendant that exuded a faint and warm luster, and seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power.

It was the protection of this amulet that allowed Han Yue'er to slowly wake up from her deep sleep. Although she still looked tired and listless, at least her vital signs had stabilized.
