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

She smiled and replied, "Yes, this amulet has no specific owner. Anyone who wears it can be protected. Of course, if it needs to be bound to a unique amulet for the user, its price will naturally be several times higher."

Pei Yu, who learned that there were only a few thousand taels of silver left in the Pei family's private vault, was embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he finally shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, there is no need to bind the master."

He knew in his heart that with Yue'er's extraordinary skills, ordinary villains would not be able to get close to her at all, let alone steal her personal belongings.

In this case, an ordinary amulet is sufficient.

Sheng Junwei had just returned to Yunyi Pavilion and had not yet rested when the housekeeper hurriedly walked in and respectfully reported: "Young Madam, Aunt Cui from the Sheng Mansion came to visit and said that Madam Sheng sincerely invited you to return to the mansion for a reunion."

Sheng Junwei didn't even raise her head when she heard this, still concentrating on the ancient book in her hand: "Tell her I won't see her."

Sheng Junwei knew very well what Mrs. Sheng's intention was.

It must be that Sheng Ruijiao came back home crying and making trouble, causing Madam Sheng to intervene again.

She knew very well that if she returned home at this moment, she would undoubtedly walk into a trap and add to her troubles.

Besides, she was already tired of getting entangled with those people, and deep down she hoped to draw a clear line between herself and such trivial matters, so that they could live in peace and not disturb each other.

However, reality often fails to live up to people's wishes.

Sheng Junwei was sitting in the spacious and quiet courtyard of her home, concentrating on reading the ancient book in her hand, when the tranquility was broken by the sudden noise.

I saw a young man breaking into the hospital without any manners.

Sheng Junwei's eyes moved slightly, and a barely perceptible sarcasm appeared on her frosty face, "Sheng Mingtao, have your upbringings been eaten by dogs?"

Sheng Junwei's gaze shifted from the book to the young man in front of her, and complex emotions surged in her heart.

A smiling face that was once as clear as starlight seemed to emerge before her eyes. That was the young Sheng Mingtao, innocent and simple-minded.

"You are so bold! Who do you think you are to dare to teach me a lesson!" Sheng Mingtao shouted harshly, with anger flashing in his eyes.

Sheng Junwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly and signaled the servant beside her to bring a sandalwood chair.

She sat down leisurely, even crossing her legs comfortably, as if the chaos before her had nothing to do with her at all.

She glanced at Sheng Mingtao, her tone calm but every word powerful: "Who are you then, and how dare you trespass into the Prime Minister's residence?"

Sheng Mingtao's expression froze, obviously not expecting Sheng Junwei to fight back in this way.

Since Sheng Ruijiao returned to the Sheng family, the attitudes of her parents and five brothers towards Sheng Junwei have gradually become distant, and the change in Sheng Mingtao is the most obvious.

All this was because Sheng Ruijiao had done him a favor, but in his eyes, Sheng Junwei not only usurped his throne and occupied his ten years of happy life, but also attempted to take away Sheng Ruijiao's achievements.

"Although I don't want to admit it, you are still my sister in name after all. Naturally, I have the right to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Sheng Mingtao forced himself to remain calm and tried to use family blood as a shield.

This self-righteous look is exactly the same as in the previous life.

These people hated her, but at the same time, they harassed her in every possible way under the guise of being her family...

In her previous life, Sheng Junwei still cherished that trace of warmth and chose to forgive their rudeness and indifference.

However, in this life, she no longer has any illusions.

"If you don't want to admit it, then don't do it. I just don't want to recognize an ungrateful person as my brother." Sheng Junwei said coldly, her eyes piercing Sheng Mingtao like ice, "Someone, kick him out. If he refuses to leave..."

Before she finished speaking, Sheng Junwei's expression turned cold instantly. "No need to show mercy, just start beating me!"

Sheng Mingtao was dumbfounded and looked at Sheng Junwei in disbelief.

Facing the tightly closed door of Pei Mansion, Sheng Mingtao rubbed his nose which was hurt by the wind from the door and stamped his feet angrily: "You are so good, Sheng Junwei, you actually called me an ungrateful person. I think you are the biggest ungrateful person!"

He roared at the door: "If you hadn't colluded with others to bully Ruijiao, do you think I would bother to come to you? I tell you, you can be arrogant, but without the support of the Sheng Mansion, what else can you do to be arrogant!"

However, Sheng Junwei was not moved by his threats. Instead of returning to the Sheng Mansion to admit her mistake, she decisively expelled Sheng Mingtao from the mansion.

This move undoubtedly surprised everyone in the Sheng family.

Sheng Ruijiao gently wiped away the tears that were welling up in her eyes, while she was full of expectations. She longed to see Sheng Junwei return with an apology and obediently force Si Qi to return the money that did not belong to her.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, with crystal tears still hanging on her eyelashes, but what was waiting for her was only the lonely figure of Sheng Mingtao.

Everyone turned their eyes to Sheng Mingtao, whose face was as gloomy as iron, and they were full of doubts.

Feeling the inquiring gazes around him, Sheng Mingtao's face became uglier and uglier, as if blood could drip out. He said angrily: "After she married into the Xiangfu, she relied on Pei Yu's backing and thought she was superior to others. She was so proud that she refused to come back no matter what!"

Sheng Mingtao felt ashamed about Sheng Junwei being kicked out of the house, so he chose not to talk about it.

Everyone in the Sheng residence fell into an awkward silence. All that could be heard was the howling of the cold wind outside, which formed a sharp contrast with the depressing atmosphere inside.

Sheng Ruijiao was stunned by this sudden change. Tears welled up in her eyes but would not fall. Her heart was filled with an unprecedented shock.

In Sheng Ruijiao's memory, Sheng Junwei cherished family affection as firmly as gold and jade, and was full of endless love for every member of the Sheng family.

In her previous life, although Sheng Junwei had been away from home for many years and eventually became the wife of the Marquis due to Zheng Yiyang's contribution, she did not become arrogant at home. Instead, she did her best to help the Sheng family when they encountered difficulties.

With her support, several of her brothers also emerged and won great reputation in the court.

How could such a Sheng Junwei become so resolute in this life?

Sheng Ruijiao suddenly felt a chill in her heart, like an ice cone piercing her bones.

Unless, the Sheng Junwei she was familiar with had already lost hope in the Sheng family and was completely desperate about this blood-thicker-than-water family relationship...

However, in this life, those things that were enough to break Sheng Junwei's heart have not happened yet, so how could such a huge change come about?

Sheng Ruijiao's thoughts were like a wild horse running wildly across the unknown wilderness. A thought that horrified her suddenly emerged in her mind.

That woman, perhaps, also gained a new life like herself!

This thought was like a thunderbolt, and Sheng Ruijiao instantly fell into deep panic.

"It's just right that she didn't come back!" Dalang Sheng Mingfeng slammed the table angrily, holding the teacup in his hand tightly, his knuckles turning white, "From now on, she doesn't need to set foot in the Sheng Mansion again!"

Erlang sneered coldly, "Don't be too happy too soon. I think she will come back crying and beg us to seek justice for her."

It turned out that they had already learned that Pei Yu was not as innocent as the outside world had rumored.
