Just as the two were about to indulge in the joy of lovemaking, Pei Lin's hurried voice suddenly rang out, "Sir, something bad has happened. Madam has sent someone to invite Miss Han over!"

Pei Yu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "It's only been a few days since we've been quiet, why is mother looking for trouble again?"

He looked at Han Yue'er with pity, knowing that her body had just recovered and it was not appropriate for her to be subjected to any further stimulation.

"Tell mother that Yue'er is not fully recovered yet. We should wait until she gets better before we deal with anything." He gave the order decisively, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.

The palace guards who came to arrest people looked at each other in bewilderment. Faced with Pei Yu's orders, they dared not disobey in the slightest and could only go back to report to Zhang helplessly.

When Zhang heard the news, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and the teacup in her hand was almost crushed: "Rebellious son! I want to see how long he will protect that woman!"

"Let's go to Yuexia Pavilion!" Zhang said sternly.

Sheng Junwei acted quickly and patted Zhang's back gently, trying to comfort her in this way.

"Mother, calm down, calm down. Everything can be solved. There is no need to get so angry that it will hurt your body."

Zhang held Sheng Junwei's hand tightly, "Weier, you are too soft-hearted. That woman has taken advantage of you, but you still swallow your anger. You should know that this is not your fault. She is too arrogant and domineering."

Sheng Junwei thought to herself but remained expressionless.

She was not worried about Pei Yu, but she really didn't care much about the right and wrong between Pei Yu and Han Yue'er.

She understood that if Han Yue'er hadn't been provoking her one after another, she would actually like to see their sweet love.

Not long after, the group arrived at Yuexia Pavilion.

At this time, Pei Yu and Han Yue'er were already dressed.

Pei Yu couldn't help showing displeasure when he saw Zhang coming to him in person with a serious look on his face, obviously coming to call him to task.

He tried to remain calm, with a hint of helplessness in his words: "Mother, why do you have to pick on Yue'er? She has been acting quite well recently, and she has just recovered from a serious illness. Can you please stop picking on her all the time? This will not help her condition, and it will only make the atmosphere at home more tense."

He turned to look at Sheng Junwei, a hint of reproach flashed in his eyes, and then continued: "Mother is old and in poor health. It's not appropriate for her to get angry all the time. Why don't you try to persuade her now? It's so nice for the family to be harmonious."

Facing this sudden accusation, Sheng Junwei did not show any anger on her face. Instead, she showed a faint smile.

Once Pei Yu faced Han Yue'er, it seemed as if his IQ and values ​​instantly dropped to zero. Can love really make people so blind?

It's terrible.

It seems that her choice to stay away from the troubles of the world was indeed a wise one.

She was neither impatient nor impatient, and asked back: "You know that mother is not in good health and should not get angry, so why did you do something to make her so angry?"

Pei Yu was speechless. "I didn't. I just don't want any more disputes at home. Can't you be like me and stop making trouble with your mother?"

Zhang was so angry that her hands were shaking when she heard this. "How dare you say I'm being unreasonable?!"

Sheng Junwei did not respond to Zhang's question, but looked directly at Pei Yu with a sneer on her face: "You said Miss Han is still ill?"

Pei Yu's heart tightened. He knew that Yue'er was able to get out of bed and walk around. They almost had a quarrel over a trivial matter just now.

He could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm and said, "Yes, the doctor said she is still very weak and needs to rest."

A sense of urgency surged in his heart, and he thought to himself that if his mother and Sheng Junwei insisted on asking a doctor to take his mother's pulse, he must find a way to stop them. He must not let the carefully woven lie be exposed to everyone.

Zhang was so angry that her fingers trembled. She pointed at Pei Yu and asked at the top of her voice, "Pei Yu, have all those sage books you read been fed to dogs? How dare you deceive your own mother for a woman!"

Pei Yu was shocked when he heard this, and he hesitated to speak: "I..."

At the critical moment, Sheng Junwei interrupted at the right time, "Sir, let's meet someone first."

After she finished speaking, she slightly turned sideways and signaled the maid behind her to push the man in front of everyone.

In just a few moments, Sheng Ziyan's face had swollen beyond recognition, and her originally delicate features were almost unrecognizable.

Pei Yu was stunned when he saw him, and asked in confusion: "Who is this?"

Sheng Junwei stared coldly at Sheng Ziyan, who looked aggrieved, with an icy gaze. "You speak for yourself."

Sheng Ziyan was full of grievances and had no place to vent them at the moment. The door of Yuexia Pavilion was closed to her, and Han Yue'er's intimidation made her dare not complain to anyone.

Now that Sheng Junwei gave her the opportunity to speak, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and sobbed to Pei Yu, "Master, I am Zi Yan..."

"Today, I was quietly studying poetry in my room, but Miss Han suddenly broke in and beat me up. She said that the young master was hers exclusively and no one could compete with her for him. Anyone who displeased her would end up as miserable as I did..."

Although her description was a bit exaggerated, the content was no different from Han Yueer's arrogant words.

Pei Yu was so excited after hearing this that he instinctively wanted to defend Han Yue'er: "Impossible! Although Yue'er is agile and independent, she never acts rashly, and will never hurt innocent people for no reason."

Sheng Junwei turned her sharp eyes to Han Yue'er, "Miss Han, everyone in the martial arts world says that you are decisive and resolute in your actions. I'm sure you won't deny this matter outright, right?"

Han Yueer heard this, and a hint of arrogance appeared on her lips. "She covets my man, why can't I teach her a lesson?"

"We didn't kill her because we were giving her face. If it weren't for this relationship, the punishment she received would definitely not be as simple as a swollen face for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yu was dumbfounded and speechless.

He really couldn't understand how she could cause such a commotion just by taking a short nap in the afternoon!

She was not the master's daughter, yet she dared to beat up the maid in the mansion!

Her behavior was tantamount to being unscrupulous in front of Zhang and Sheng Junwei!

What's worse, he had just tried his best to make excuses for her, trying to cover up her gaffe, but she just stood there quietly, silent.

This feeling of betrayal is like being slapped hard in the face.

Sheng Junwei's face was as cold as ice. "Now you understand why mother was so furious?"

Pei Yu closed his eyes tightly, "I..."

Before he could finish his words, Sheng Junwei interrupted him mercilessly.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but you are so dazzled by beauty right now that you are destined to be a foolish and incompetent person even if you are lucky enough to enter the official career in the future."

"Mother is known for her gentleness, courtesy and frugality. Outsiders may not know this, but as her biological son, do you also know nothing about it?"

Sheng Junwei's questioning voice was mixed with disappointment and blame towards Pei Yu, "If Miss Han hadn't acted rashly and made a mistake, how could mother be so angry?"
