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

When Yunying heard this, she immediately said angrily, "That Miss Han must be making trouble in front of my son-in-law again!"

Yunying has never had a good impression of this woman named Han who often sows discord.

Sheng Junwei did not comment on this, but just shook her head slightly, indicating that Yunying did not need to take it too seriously.

After about a cup of tea, the long hair gradually dried under the roasting of the charcoal fire. Sheng Junwei waved her hand and asked Yunying to go and rest first. She sat cross-legged on the cushioned couch, ready to start the evening practice.

During this period of time, she has significantly improved her cultivation by relying on the rich merits accumulated from her good deeds. This progress makes her believe that as long as she continues to practice along this path, she may really be able to reach the threshold between immortals and mortals and realize her dream of cultivating immortals.

The next morning, Sheng Junwei got up early and completed her daily morning routine.

Then, she walked slowly towards the dining room in a simple dress.

At this time, Zhang was already sitting at the dining table. Despite her delicate makeup, she could not hide a hint of fatigue between her brows.

Obviously, it was because Pei Yu did not come home at night that she was worried about him all night.

Sheng Junwei was secretly delighted about this, as Pei Yu's absence meant that she could temporarily avoid Zhang's urging about consummating the marriage.

Just as she was about to speak to comfort Zhang, Aunt Li suddenly walked into the dining room and respectfully reported: "Madam, the wife of the eldest son of the Zhang family is here to visit."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Junwei and Zhang were both stunned.

The eldest lady of the Zhang family is Pei Yu’s sister-in-law, Liu.

The two had met briefly at a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet last month, when Liu was graceful and cheerful.

Zhang forced herself to cheer up and said in a friendly tone, "Please ask her to come in."

Soon, Liu walked into the dining room under the guidance of Aunt Li.

Her steps were a little heavy, and her face looked even more haggard than Zhang's, but in the face of the cordial invitation, she still nodded politely and sat down at one side of the dining table.

But she couldn't eat it to some extent.

Liu's eyes fell on the dishes on the table, but she seemed to see nothing. Her heart was filled with worry and fear.

Sheng Junwei noticed something strange about Liu, and her eyes briefly swept across her slightly haggard face. Then she calmly picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the delicacies on the table one by one.

Liu reluctantly took a few bites of food, but it felt like chewing wax and was difficult to swallow.

However, when she saw Sheng Junwei chewing slowly and seeming to enjoy every bite, Liu could only suppress the anxiety surging in her heart and chose to sit silently with her.

After Sheng Junwei put down her chopsticks gracefully and rinsed her mouth gently, Liu seemed to have received some kind of permission. She finally mustered up the courage to speak and stated the purpose of her visit: "Aunt, I came to ask you for help with something."

"What's the matter?" Zhang asked knowingly, with a gleam in her eyes that seemed to show she knew everything.

She had already guessed in her heart that what Liu was asking for was not an ordinary trivial matter in her husband's family, but a major problem related to her own family. Otherwise, according to common sense, it should be Zhang Jia Dalang who came instead of her.

However, she only guessed half right. The other half of the truth still needed to be told by Liu herself.

Liu took a deep breath, looked at Zhang firmly, and said bluntly: "Aunt, I want my sister-in-law to help me find someone."

After that, she turned to Sheng Junwei and pleaded, "Sister-in-law, I know this is a bit presumptuous, but I really have no other choice. You are my last hope."

Zhang's face flashed with surprise when she heard this, but she did not make a decision for Sheng Junwei without authorization. Instead, she turned to look at her and asked in a consulting tone: "Wei'er, what do you think?"

Sheng Junwei lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "We in the Xuanmen cannot interfere with the karma of others, unless we are willing to bear the karma on ourselves. Cousin, you want to find someone, that is the cause you planted, whether you can find him or not, it is the result."

Liu was confused: "How... can we transfer it?"

Zhang slowly took off the gold ornaments on her hair, which were obviously very valuable. She handed them to Sheng Junwei: "Wei'er, if it's not too much trouble, please help her!"

When Liu witnessed this scene, her eyes widened in surprise. She had never expected that the so-called transfer of cause and effect would require the use of such a precious item as a medium.

Judging from the texture and craftsmanship of the gold jewelry, it is worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

Sheng Junwei took the gold jewelry, gently stroked its smooth and delicate surface, and explained: "I am not greedy for money, but we in the Xuanmen must strictly abide by the law of cause and effect, otherwise it will cause unpredictable harm to others and ourselves. My cousin, you want to find someone, that is the cause you planted, you came to me for help, just to transfer this cause to me. This requires a medium, so that you can give an explanation to the Heavenly Dao."

Liu was confused and seemed to understand something, but suddenly she grasped the key point: "How do you know I want you to find someone?"

Sheng Junwei smiled indifferently, but did not answer the question directly.

She knew that some things did not need to be explained too clearly, and the other party just had to understand it themselves.

Liu immediately realized that she had asked a stupid question.

The ability of this Miss Sheng has long been known throughout the Liu family.

Liu's grandmother even used his deeds as a topic of conversation after dinner and often mentioned them.

Although the younger generations in the family were quite respectful on the surface and were very polite to Sheng Junwei, deep down, they still had some doubts about her so-called "ability".

Although many of them witnessed with their own eyes the shocking scene in which Sheng Junwei turned the richest man's only son into an abandoned child with just a few words, there are still some people who believe that she may have known the whole story through other channels, and just used the name of fortune-telling to tell the truth that she had already known.

Liu came to the prime minister's residence for help this time, out of desperation.

The government has tried its best to find her missing nephew from her mother's family, and the Liu family has mobilized all the forces they can, but to this day, no trace of the child has been found.

She didn't hold out much hope, but...what if?

At this moment, when she heard Sheng Junwei directly reveal her purpose, Liu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally had a moment of peace: "Sister-in-law, please help me find my nephew from my mother's family!"

The Liu family was not from a prominent family, and Liu's father was only a minor official of the fifth rank. However, Liu was able to successfully enter the Zhang family because the Zhang family respected and cherished the marriage of their children.

What they value is a person's character and emotional compatibility, rather than his or her family background.

Although Liu's father did not hold a high official position, he created a peaceful and harmonious environment at home.

There was no jealousy among concubines in the mansion. He and Liu's mother loved each other very much and had a pair of children together.

Everyone in the Liu family is sincere and acts in an upright manner. Therefore, when Liu's lively and lovely little nephew suddenly disappeared, the whole family fell into unprecedented confusion and anxiety.
