Soon, the wife of Marquis Anping arrived as promised.

The two met when Sheng Junwei was ten years old.

At that time, Sheng Ruijiao had not yet returned home, and Sheng Junwei was still the eldest daughter of the Sheng family.

Once when she went out, she was almost kidnapped by gangsters. She happened to be met by the wife of Marquis Anping. She led her men to chase the gangsters for dozens of miles and rescued Sheng Junwei from the gangsters.

Sheng Junwei looked at the face of the wife of Marquis Anping and realized that her son was in trouble that night, so she reminded her to keep the young master away from ponds, rivers and other places in the near future.

Sure enough, that night the young master had a sudden urge to go to the pond in the mansion to catch fish and accidentally fell into the water.

Fortunately, Lady Anping Marquis remembered Sheng Junwei's warning and rescued the drowning young master through an emergency search, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Since then, Lady Anping Hou has been in awe of Sheng Junwei's ability, and always asks her for advice at critical moments in her life. And every time she acts according to Sheng Junwei's advice, she always gets satisfactory results.

Who would have thought that the two would meet again under such circumstances.

The wife of Anping Marquis had a complicated expression: "The Heavenly Master called me here today. Could it be that he wants to persuade me to let that woman go?"

If this were true, she would be extremely disappointed with the Heavenly Master!

"Master, we have been friends for many years, and I don't want this to create any rift between us. Although my son made a mistake and deserves to be punished, this punishment is really excessive!"

"Didn't you see how badly my son was beaten? There was a big hole in the back of his head! The doctor said that the person who did it clearly wanted to kill him!"

"According to the servants at home, my son was indeed drunk at the time and walked up to the woman and invited her to drink a cup. Apart from that, he did not do anything offensive."

"That woman is so cruel and ruthless. I can't tolerate it!"

"What makes me even more angry is that Pei Yu knew who was beaten, but he kept silent! He is so irresponsible and evades responsibility. Master, why do you have to sacrifice yourself for him? He is not worthy of you!"

Sheng Junwei handed over a cup of herbal tea: "Drink some tea first to cool down."

Her voice was clear and gentle, and seemed to have the effect of cooling down the listeners, instantly reducing most of their anger.

The wife of Marquis Anping calmed down a little, but she did not regret her blunt words just now.

Sheng Junwei's eyes swept across her face: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you insist on pursuing this matter?"

The wife of Marquis Anping suddenly stiffened!

She was very familiar with this sentence.

Whenever the Heavenly Master asked her "What will be the consequences if you insist on doing this", it meant that the Heavenly Master had already seen through the future trajectory of her life.

And this trajectory is definitely not beautiful.

"This... I'm just seeking justice for my son. How could it cause any big trouble?" Lady Anping Marquis asked back.

Sheng Junwei took a sip of tea leisurely: "It can indeed cause trouble."

"Han Yue'er has made friends with many powerful people. One of them is someone that not only your Anping Marquis' Mansion cannot afford to offend, but even the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot afford to offend. If you insist on getting to the bottom of this, that person will intervene, and the Marquis' Mansion will be hated by him in the future."

"When Anping Marquis is alive, that person may still have some scruples and at most cause some minor troubles to your family. But once Anping Marquis dies, that person will deal with the Marquis's mansion. In less than three years, the new Marquis will be stripped of his title for serious faults."

The face of the wife of Marquis Anping turned pale.

Sheng Junwei shook her head gently: "But this is not the worst."

Lady Anping's lips trembled: "Is there anything worse?"

Sheng Junwei turned the teacup in her hand and said, "What's worse is that when that big shot and Han Yue'er came to show off their power, your young master fell in love with her for some reason, and he had conflicts with you over her again and again."

"He even vowed to fight the whole world for her, and abused the power of the Anping Marquisate to help her many times."

"A few years later, you were pissed off to death by him."

The wife of the Marquis of Anping felt a chill run through her bones: "This is horrible!"

Sheng Junwei put down her teacup: "What the Anping Marquis's Mansion wants is nothing more than an explanation. Why must they send her to jail? The Second Young Master is injured, so they can ask the Prime Minister's Mansion for some medical expenses, and then ask the Prime Minister to give them some face. In this way, everyone will be happy."

Lady Anping Hou had no doubts about the future described by Sheng Junwei. She pondered for a moment and agreed: "I will listen to the Heavenly Master."

But I still feel a little uneasy: "As long as I don't delve into it, my son won't fall in love with that woman?"

Sheng Junwei calculated carefully and replied: "That's right, not only will he not fall in love with Han Yue'er, he will also successfully marry his true love, and the two of them will live happily ever after."

She reminded him, "What the Xiangfu cares most about now is Pei Yu's reputation. You can make a fuss about it and make a lot of money from it."

Although Prime Minister Pei and Madam Pei expressed sympathy for Pei Yu's behavior of abandoning the bride to pursue other women, they also gave her the keys and seals in advance.

But they avoided talking about how to punish Pei Yu.

Sheng Junwei understood this.

However, she could neither understand nor agree with her son's behavior of dragging an innocent woman into the blame even though she knew her son was doing bad things outside.

They schemed against her first, so don't blame her for fighting back.

After the counterattack, they still had to be grateful to her!

"Miss, would the young master of Marquis Anping really fall in love with that woman and make his mother angry to death?" Yunying couldn't help asking after Marquis Anping's wife left.

She found it unbelievable.

Sheng Junwei also found it unbelievable.

But this is exactly the message she captured from the face of Lady Anping.

But she didn't delve into it further, after all, she had seen too many strange things in her previous life.

The stories in dramas and scripts may still need logic to support the plot.

But real life doesn’t have to be like this.

For example, she and Sheng Ruijiao were reborn together, and she was reborn later than Sheng Ruijiao, and her engagement was successfully swapped. Where is the logic in this?

After the wife of Marquis Anping returned home, Prime Minister Pei immediately sent someone to invite Marquis Anping to his house for a chat.

The two of them quickly went into the study, closed the door and whispered for a long time.

When he came out, he saw Marquis Anping with a long face, like a child whose candy had just been snatched away.

Prime Minister Pei was beaming with joy, his mouth corners almost reaching his ears.

How can I hide this smile?

It turned out that earlier, Prime Minister Pei was thinking about going to the mansion of Anping to apologize, but the door of the mansion of Marquis Anping was tightly closed, and it was announced that there would be no negotiation on this matter, and all the principal and accomplices would be sent to prison!

Today, Marquis Anping softened his stance and said that he could let my daughter-in-law off for her sake - but the condition was that my son would be made the deputy commander of the Jingji Guard, and the matter would be over.

This job is difficult, indeed it is difficult, but it is not difficult either, as there are tricks to it.

The Jingji Guards were the most popular people around the emperor, and many people were trying their best to get in.

Especially the position of deputy commander, there were so many people staring at it eagerly.

Coincidentally, Prime Minister Pei saved Commander Xiao's life a few years ago. As long as he is willing to recommend, this matter will basically be done.

However, after using the favor, the life-saving grace can be considered cleared.

But on second thought, compared with my son's bright future, that little bit of kindness means nothing!

Just like that, the matter was settled. Prime Minister Pei felt relieved and looked at his daughter-in-law with increasing favor: "If you marry a daughter-in-law, you must marry a virtuous one!"

Outside in the carriage, Marquis Anping had forgotten his previous gloomy face and was laughing so hard that his jaw almost dislocated.

Our Anping Marquis Mansion is not as strong as before, and he does not have much real power.

If the eldest son can make himself familiar to the emperor, the revival of the Marquisate will be just around the corner!

Even though the younger son got into trouble, it was all his own fault. He offended people with his mouth.

Besides, the girl fought back out of self-protection, which was understandable.

He felt that his wife was a lucky star, and the eldest daughter of the Sheng family was even smarter.

It's just that Pei Yu is stupid. He doesn't care about his good wife, but favors that trouble-making woman...

When Zhang heard that the matter was settled, she happily came to Yunyi Pavilion.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, she said, "Your father-in-law has a dinner party tonight, so don't worry about him at home. Let's eat here." Sheng Junwei nodded obediently.

Soon, a table full of delicious dishes was served, with good color, aroma and taste.

Zhang picked up the serving chopsticks and put food into Sheng Junwei's bowl, saying lovingly, "Wei'er, you are too thin. You need to eat more."

Sheng Junwei knew very well that Zhang was trying to find out about her relationship with the wife of Marquis Anping in a roundabout way.

Since she didn't say it clearly, I won't point it out to her and just let things take their course.

She declined several dishes that didn't suit her taste, ate all the dishes Zhang brought, and finished a bowl of rice. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full."

Zhang also stopped and they both rinsed their mouths.

After the servants had cleared the table, Zhang smiled and asked what she had been holding back for a long time: "Wei'er, you have a good relationship with the wife of the Marquis of Anping, right?"
