"What self-defense bracelet? Sheng Junwei, do you think you can't survive in this world without attracting attention? You followed that charlatan and learned the basics for a few days, and you really think you have transformed yourself into a so-called 'master'?"

Sheng Mingtao turned around angrily and strode away, leaving behind a resolute back.

Although the other four young masters of the Sheng family did not speak harshly like Sheng Mingtao, their attitudes were equally cold.

After they received the bracelet, they neither praised nor expressed gratitude, nor did they wear it.

Sheng Junwei was immersed in the memories of the past and couldn't extricate herself.

"Mother, this bracelet does have the effect of self-defense." Sheng Junwei's voice was calm and firm. "Even on ordinary days, wearing it can nourish the body and mind and strengthen the body."

There was a subtle expectation in her words, hoping that Zhang could understand and cherish her kindness.

When Zhang heard this, a gleam of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She carefully picked up the bracelet and put it on her wrist.

Sheng Junwei couldn't help feeling surprised when she saw how much her mother cherished the bracelet.

She realized that it wasn't that no one appreciated her magic weapon, but that the Sheng family didn't take the time to appreciate it.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and some obsessions in her heart seemed to gradually melt away at this moment.

As night fell, Prime Minister Pei returned to his mansion under the moonlight.

He immediately noticed the new bracelet on Zhang's wrist and asked casually, "Is this new?"

Zhang heard this, a proud smile spread across her face, and she gently shook her wrist, "This was given to me by Wei'er."

However, Prime Minister Pei frowned and complained: "This girl took my jade ring worth eight thousand taels without even saying thank you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang straightened her back and responded without showing any weakness: "Wei'er told me that this bracelet is a defensive magic weapon she made herself. It can not only protect personal safety, but also nourish the body and delay aging when worn regularly."

She shared excitedly: "You know what? Since I put on this bracelet, the headaches that have troubled me for many years have been significantly reduced. I feel refreshed and as if I have become several years younger."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Pei looked at the bracelet with suspicion, muttering to himself, "How can there be such a magical thing in the world?"

Zhang's eyes flashed with an extremely determined light, "Of course it's real! If you don't believe me, touch it and feel it!"

Her words were full of confidence in the efficacy of the mysterious bracelet.

Prime Minister Pei looked calm and composed.

He took the bracelet that Zhang treasured as a treasure and gently put it on his wrist.

Zhang stared at the bracelet intently: "You have to wear it for a while to truly experience its effect."

Prime Minister Pei nodded slightly, responding to Zhang's instructions.

"Then I'll try. You go and rest first."

Although she was reluctant to let go of the necklace, in order to prove its magical effect, Zhang still let Prime Minister Pei take it away.

After Prime Minister Pei stepped into the study, he quickly immersed himself in official duties. The bracelet lay quietly on his wrist, silently emitting weak but lasting energy.

As the prime minister of a country, Prime Minister Pei shoulders a heavy responsibility. He cannot sleep peacefully even at night, and is always ready to respond to the emperor's sudden summons.

However, that night, the palace seemed unusually quiet. No news of any emergency came in, and everything went on as planned.

It was not until the early hours of the morning that Prime Minister Pei finally raised his head from the mountain of documents and habitually wanted to stretch his tired body, but at that moment, he was stunned.

The tiredness that should have come did not appear at all, and instead, I felt full of energy.

His eyes involuntarily fell on the bracelet on his wrist, and Prime Minister Pei muttered to himself: "This stinky girl!"

After experiencing personal verification overnight, Prime Minister Pei quietly put the bracelet back on the wrist of the sleeping Zhang before going to court the next morning, although he was still unwilling.

During this period, Sheng Junwei lived a very comfortable life.

Zhang intended to let her handle all the affairs of the prime minister's mansion.

After Zhang's last swift and vigorous reorganization, the Prime Minister's Mansion is now in good order. All the servants in the mansion know that although Sheng Junwei has not been favored by the young master, she is deeply trusted and supported by her parents-in-law, and has firmly grasped the power of the housekeeper.

In addition, her ability to see through other people's mistakes at a glance had already spread throughout the prime minister's residence. Except for a very small number of people with ulterior motives, no one dared to challenge her authority easily.

All the affairs of the mansion, big or small, except for those important matters that Sheng Junwei had to preside over and decide personally, the rest of the trivial work almost all fell on the shoulders of Yunying, the personal maid.

That day, she received another task that made her full of complaints - to meet the managers of the manor on behalf of the young lady.

Yunying looked helpless as she came to Sheng Junwei, who was leisurely tasting melon in the study, and said, "Miss, you want me to attend the reception of the managers of the manor? I'm just a maid, is this appropriate?"

Sheng Junwei heard the voice, showing an extremely innocent expression, and asked back: "What's inappropriate?"

After hearing this, Yunying angrily retorted: "It's totally inappropriate! How can I, a little maid, calm down those cunning people? How can they take me seriously?"

Sheng Junwei didn't take it seriously and waved her hand gently, "It's not a big problem."

Then, she casually flipped through the birth records of a few stewards and her fingertips stopped at the name of a steward named Pei Qiao.

"This man appears to be honest, but in fact he is addicted to gambling, alcoholism and sex. As a man, these bad habits are understandable. As long as it does not affect others, it does not matter if he commits suicide."

"But he was a terrible gambler and lost everything. In order to fill that bottomless pit, he secretly misappropriated funds from the government treasury to gamble. As a result, he naturally got deeper and deeper into trouble. In order to cover up his crime, he began to tamper with the accounts."

"As for the evidence..." She changed the subject, a sly smile on her lips, "It's behind the dressing table mirror in his mistress's bedroom."

"It's a matter of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. If you catch this one, the others will naturally behave themselves."

Sheng Junwei's words revealed determination and confidence.

She specifically reminded Yunying: "Remember to bring more people. Gamblers are desperate and will do anything."

Yunying was completely speechless, "Miss, is it really okay for you to be so lazy?"

Sheng Junwei did not respond, but just narrowed her eyes contentedly.

If you don't get lazy as soon as possible when you have a chance to live your life again, wouldn't that be a waste of opportunity?

Just as Sheng Junwei was about to take a short nap in the study, the maid Rou'er's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, Miss Han is here to visit."

Rou'er is one of the four maids that Sheng Junwei brought from the Sheng Mansion. The other one is called Xiang'er.

Both of them won Sheng Junwei's trust with their loyalty and wit.

Sheng Junwei raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously surprised by Han Yueer's sudden visit.
