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

After the meal, Prime Minister Pei did not leave the table immediately, and others naturally did not dare to leave first.

He slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes fixed on his son, and every word was as sharp as a knife: "The entrance examination is coming soon, and I will never allow any accidents to interfere with your preparation. If this affects your grades, let alone letting her enter the mansion as a concubine, even if she is willing to condescend to be a concubine who cannot see the light of day, she will have to step on my dead bones before she can take a single step out of the mansion!"

Pei Yu's body trembled slightly when he heard this stern warning.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Don't worry, father. Yue'er is definitely not someone who will only cause trouble. She will be a good assistant in my studies and will never affect my concentration on preparing for the exam."

After hearing this, Zhang frowned and said in a displeased tone, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can that troublemaker be called a good wife? Wei'er is the real good wife of our Pei family!"

Pei Yu felt mixed emotions. He knew that although Sheng Junwei had not been in the mansion for long, she had already managed it in perfect order and even helped him and Yue'er escape danger many times.

Faced with such facts, he could not deny it against his conscience and could only choose to remain silent.

Sheng Junwei was in the middle of this family dispute, and she realized that both the praise and the criticism were coming from Prime Minister Pei and his wife. She seemed to have become a bystander, and a subtle sense of powerlessness quietly grew in her heart.

The atmosphere at the moment was becoming increasingly depressing. Zhang accidentally caught a glimpse of the sparkling bracelet on her wrist, and suddenly an idea occurred to her, trying to change the subject: "By the way, Wei'er, can you make a bracelet like this for your father? It is said that wearing it can ward off evil and ward off disasters."

Prime Minister Pei was originally filled with resentment towards his rebellious son, but when he heard his wife's proposal, although his anger had not subsided, he temporarily suppressed it and listened attentively.

As the prime minister of a country, he knew it was inconvenient to ask his daughter-in-law for something, so he cleared his throat and refuted solemnly: "As an important official of the court, how can I imitate women and wear gold, silver, pearls and jade? Wouldn't this damage my dignity as a prime minister?"

Sheng Junwei originally thought that Prime Minister Pei was questioning the protective effect of the bracelet, but he changed the subject and added: "However, if it is woven with some ordinary materials, it will be fine."

After hearing this, Sheng Junwei curled her lips slightly, "Isn't the one in your hand also made of jade? And it's top-grade jade."

Pei Yu looked at this scene and laughed in his heart. His father-in-law was really a stubborn old man who said one thing and thought another.

She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "If father is not interested in this bracelet, how about changing it to a jade pendant? The function is the same. If we are lucky enough to find a piece of thunder wood that has been tempered by thunder, and carefully carve it into a wooden hairpin, its effect in warding off evil spirits will probably be even better."

The Thunderwood is a recognized holy object that can ward off evil spirits. This kind of treasure is extremely rare and hard to find.

Pei Yu opened his eyes wide, staring at the scene in front of him in amazement.

The father, who was usually serious to the point of being harsh and as old-fashioned as a stone statue, was as kind as an ordinary father in front of Sheng Junwei.

However, Sheng Junwei did not show the slightest fear when facing Prime Minister Pei, who was feared by all the civil and military officials in the court.

Just as Pei Yu was troubled by this series of questions and his thoughts were in a state of confusion, the two of them quickly reached a consensus on the required materials.

Pei Yu imagined that with this jade pendant that could make people feel refreshed, even if his father worked non-stop for three days and three nights, he would surely be able to remain energetic all the time, right?

Pei Yu caught the smile in his father's eyes and fell into deep thought: Am I his biological son?

Pei Yu's thoughts were in a mess, and at this time Sheng Junwei had already left with Zhang's arm in arm, walking lightly.

Prime Minister Pei instantly regained his stern expression.

An official came hurriedly to report. Prime Minister Pei raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a dignified manner, "Tell him to wait in the study."

Pei Yu: "..."

Pei Yu was still puzzled, but Sheng Junwei had already smiled sincerely, "Si Qi invited me, how could I refuse?"

Yunjinfang is located in a prosperous area of ​​Beijing. It is a top-notch clothing store that specializes in tailor-made clothing for dignitaries.

Every month, when the elegant and solemn door of Yunjinfang slowly opens, there is always a banquet for viewing new and unique clothing.

This invitation letter was sent to the residences of various prominent figures in the capital a week in advance.

They were either powerful ministers or wealthy businessmen, and they all attended this feast.

The banquet was by no means a dull display of fabrics, but a carefully choreographed art parade.

When night falls and the lights come on, the brocade textile is dotted with light and shadow.

In the prosperous city of Shengjing, Yunjinfang is not only a leading garment store, but also a weather vane. All of its embroiderers are leaders in the industry.

It is not easy to stand out in Yunjin weaving and become a highly acclaimed embroiderer.

Si Qi is one of these many embroiderers.

After only working at Yunjin Textile for a year, she won the right to design independently and sign her name with her outstanding skills.

The turning point of all this began on the day Sheng Junwei returned home.

That day, she walked on the street wearing a red dress that Si Qi had sewn herself.

Si Qi's name quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

It is said that in the month that followed, there was an endless stream of customers coming to her to order custom-made clothes, and she alone earned tens of thousands of taels of silver for Yunjinfang.

Although Sheng Junwei has a quiet personality and does not like the hustle and bustle, she always offers timely encouragement to Si Qi every time she reaches the peak of her career.

That day, the wheels of the carriage turned gently, and soon it stopped steadily in front of Yunjin Textile Factory.

As soon as Sheng Junwei got out of the car, she saw Si Qi, who was as bright as spring.

She is only seventeen years old and has not yet entered the marriage hall, so she is more carefree than other girls of the same age.

She smiled brightly, walked forward quickly, and took Sheng Junwei's arm affectionately, "I knew you would come to support me."

Sheng Junwei smiled calmly, "I never refuse anything that is profitable."

Si Qi pretended to be angry, but her eyes flashed with cunning light: "Can't you let me immerse myself in the illusion of sisterly love? You have to be so realistic."

Although Si Qi is the only daughter in the family, her father has few children and there are many brothers and sisters in the family, so there are many people who are eyeing her position as the only heir.

When she was young, she encountered assassinations many times, and those grim memories still make her feel scared.

The chance encounter between the two quietly affected each other's life trajectories.

It was an ordinary day. In order to escape the dull and depressing atmosphere in the mansion, Sheng Junwei sneaked out and went to Anping Marquis' Mansion to tell fortune for his wife.

On the way back, they suddenly encountered a group of tyrannical bullies who bullied the weak and acted recklessly.

Although there were many onlookers gathered around, everyone was afraid to move forward in the face of the evil force.

Just when Sheng Junwei was in trouble, a figure rushed into her sight like a gust of wind.
