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

Minister Fan looked at the weak Han Yue'er in front of him, with mixed emotions in his heart, including sympathy and confusion: "Miss Han, what unknown things did you encounter in Nanping Village? Did you suffer any harm?"

Han Yueer had just woken up and her consciousness was still in a daze.

Since she fell into a coma, she seemed to have fallen into an endless nightmare abyss. In the dream, she was no longer herself, but Jiang Zhaodi. Day after day, she had to bear the role of the elder sister of the Fan family and do housework for Jiang Daqiang's family. If she was not careful, she would be severely blamed or even mercilessly beaten and scolded.

The three elders of the Jiang family were extremely harsh to her. Even the young Cao Yaozu was full of hostility towards her. He privately cursed her as a seductive fox and spread rumors about her misconduct to Jiang Daqiang's family from time to time.

All this made the Jiang family increasingly disgusted with her.

Just when she was about to be crushed by the endless pain and thoughts of revenge emerged in her heart, the dream came to an abrupt end and she returned to reality.

In a trance, she finally realized that she had escaped from that terrible dream and regained her freedom.

Minister Fan's caring question made Han Yue'er's eyes tighten involuntarily, and she thought to herself that all this must have been done by that evil man who was proficient in the mystical arts! That person must have cast some kind of curse on her, which caused her to have these nightmares continuously.

However, the truth is hard to tell.

If Sheng Junwei's contribution were made public, her hope of receiving a reward would be dashed. What was even more frightening was how angry Minister Fan would be once he discovered that he had been deceived.

Thinking of this, her eyes flickered and a difficult expression appeared on her face: "Let's not talk about this matter."

Upon hearing this, Minister Fan's curiosity was aroused even more intensely: "Why? Is there some hidden story behind this?"

Han Yueer sighed softly and pleaded, "My Lord, please forgive me. I really don't want to talk about this matter again. Please don't ask any more questions."

The more Minister Fan heard her evade such requests, the stronger his curiosity became.

He has stayed in this position for too long and deep down he longs to go further.

Although his father was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he actually had limited power. He himself was able to reach the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites through his own unremitting efforts.

He had great ambitions and dreamed of continuing to climb the career ladder. There were only two options before him: one was to patiently accumulate experience and wait for the current Minister of Rites to retire before seeking a promotion opportunity; the other was...

Directly replace the current Minister of Rites.

Now, it seems that a new path has emerged - instigating the Minister of Rites to compete for the position of Prime Minister, thereby indirectly creating space for promotion for himself.

If he could uncover some unknown secrets of the Prime Minister's Mansion and thus overthrow the Prime Minister, then his hope of promotion would not be completely impossible.

Han Yue'er didn't know what Minister Fan was thinking. Under his repeated questioning, she reluctantly spoke with a bit of determination in her voice: "It's... it's the young lady of the Pei family..."

She seemed to have made up her mind and told the truth through gritted teeth: "Not long after we arrived in Nanping Village, the young lady of the Pei family followed us. She was dissatisfied with my act of capturing Cao Yaozu and left angrily that night. After she left, my body started to feel unwell, but I didn't think much about it at the time. Who could have expected that after arriving in the capital, the situation would become even worse."

"It turns out that she was behind all this!"

When Minister Fan heard this, he instantly became furious: "As an important official of the court, you are so narrow-minded! Don't worry, Miss Han, I will definitely do justice for you in this matter!"

Han Yue'er felt relieved immediately: "Thank you, Master Fan, for your help."

However, Mrs. Fan, who had been observing silently, finally couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, the play is almost done."

Minister Fan and Han Yue'er were both stunned. Han Yue'er looked at Madam Fan with confusion, not understanding the meaning of her words.

Minister Fan frowned and was about to say something, but was interrupted mercilessly by Mrs. Fan: "If you like this scheming woman, don't even think about entering this house again!"

Madam Fan sneered, her eyes full of disdain: "How dare you make up stories while Doctor Sheng is away? Don't forget that Doctor Sheng is a capable person in the Ministry of Justice and a key figure in the reopening of the Nanping Village case."

She glanced at Han Yue'er with disdain: "Aren't you worried that Doctor Sheng will expose your lies in public and make you lose face?"

Although Han Yue'er was furious in her heart, she pretended to be pitiful on the surface: "Madam Fan, when have I ever offended you? Or did you also go to Madam Pei to have your fortune told, so you are prejudiced against me?"

Mrs. Fan rolled her eyes in disdain: "I have walked across more bridges than you have walked on roads, so don't bother with this little trick."

"As a woman who has interfered with other people's families, only naive people would believe you if you said bad things about your original wife behind her back."

Minister Fan didn't know how to respond for a moment, as if he had become the naive person in Mrs. Fan's words.

"Doctor Sheng is both capable and resourceful. If he really wanted to deal with you, how could he let you wake up so easily and give you the chance to confuse right and wrong here?"

"When you stayed at the Pei family and refused to leave, they didn't even bother to pay attention to you. It was obvious that they didn't take you seriously at all."

Mrs. Fan finally turned her gaze to Minister Fan, and said with a hint of indifference: "I'll go back first, what about you?"

Han Yueer's eyes were frozen like ice as she stared straight at Madam Fan. Her gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. If it were not for the fact that the naked eye could not be used as a blade, Madam Fan's body would probably have been covered with invisible scars.

In a flash, her gaze drifted towards Minister Fan standing beside her with a little hesitation. She thought to herself, as a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, he should have some manliness and not be controlled by his wife in everything, right?

Minister Fan seemed quite shaken under the pressure of his wife's almost tangible stern gaze. He hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to succumb to the authority of the family, with a barely perceptible hint of helplessness and compromise in his voice.

"Miss Han, please take a good rest. We don't want to disturb you. We'll take our leave now."

Han Yue'er was speechless for a moment when she heard this, her heart was filled with waves of emotion and she couldn't believe it.

How is this possible? She was about to open her mouth to ask him to stay, but she saw the door was suddenly pushed open by a force that could not be ignored. Sheng Junwei walked into the room with a bit of playfulness and provocation, with a smile on her lips.

"I heard that I made you suffer?"

Han Yue'er was surprised and her eyes involuntarily turned to the door, muttering, "Why... are you here?"

An embarrassed blush of being caught red-handed flashed across her cheeks, as if she was a small animal stealing food that was suddenly discovered and had nowhere to hide.
