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

Han Yueer stood up suddenly after hearing this, and said with irrepressible indignation: "You don't believe me?"

Pei Yu looked embarrassed and shook his head slightly: "It's not that I don't believe you at all, but this matter involves ethics and morality, it's very serious, and we need to be cautious."

At this moment, King Jingxuan also glanced sideways, his eyes fell on Pei Yu, full of dissatisfaction and blame.

He turned to Han Yue'er and said in a resounding voice: "Yue'er, you are knowledgeable and have extraordinary insights. I firmly believe that what you say must have its truth. I believe you."

Han Yueer's sharp eyes swept over them, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It seems that today was a good show that you carefully planned, but I accidentally discovered it."

Upon hearing this, King Jingxuan also cast a cold look at Sheng Junwei, full of sarcasm and chill: "You, a fake daughter, do have some tricks to stir up such a wave."

His voice was cold as ice and went straight to Sheng Junwei's heart.

Faced with King Jingxuan's accusations, Sheng Junwei laughed in silence, her heart filled with bitterness.

She put away her mood of watching the show and refuted aggrievedly: "Your Majesty is right. I am just a fake daughter with no power or influence. How can I have such ability and plot against powerful people like Duke Dingguo and you?"

"Besides, the fact that Marquis Anping was able to invite Duke Dingguo to come here has nothing to do with me. Since I, Sheng Junwei, did not ask them to come and cause trouble for me, how could I know about it in advance and make such an elaborate plan?"

She paused, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "Does it mean that if I know someone is going to cause trouble, I can't take the initiative?"

Her words were full of self-righteousness, which left King Jingxuan speechless for a moment, and he could only respond with silence.

After this fierce confrontation, King Jingxuan realized deep down in his heart that he could no longer protect Han Yue'er from the wind and rain as openly as before.

Han Yueer felt a surge of depressed energy rushing to her chest, and her face instantly turned pale.

Seeing that he couldn't get the slightest advantage from Sheng Junwei, Prince Jingxuan raised a false smile and turned to Duke Dingguo, "Grandfather, Prime Minister Pei is not at home right now. Why did you choose to set foot in Pei's house at this time?"

With the noble status of Duke Dingguo, it is absolutely impossible for him to visit Pei Mansion just to visit Pei Yu, a younger generation who has no blood relationship with his family.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for the appearance of Duke Dingguo at this time - he was cleverly invited by Sheng Junwei to become a chess piece in her hand.

Duke Dingguo did not respond immediately, but replied calmly: "I am here to see the master."

After hearing this, King Jingxuan was completely confused and jokingly asked, "When did Pei Mansion become a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and even the monks in the temple can live in seclusion here?"

Duke Dingguo did not explain, as he himself was quite confused about the matter, so he turned his inquiring eyes to Marquis Anping who had been watching silently.

The Marquis of Anping was originally observing this game with great interest, until he felt the scrutinizing gaze of the Duke of Dingguo sweeping over him, then he restrained the interest on his face and responded solemnly: "Old Master, the master you are referring to is Madam Pei."

Upon hearing this, Duke Dingguo was surprised and even more confused.

King Jingxuan snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "You still dare to say that all this is not your elaborate plan? You are really stupid, woman. Even if you want to scheme against others, you should find a slightly more tenable reason! Master? What virtue and ability do you have to dare to call yourself this master?"

This was the second time he used the word "stupid" to belittle Sheng Junwei, and his words were full of contempt and disdain.

When Marquis Anping heard this, he was quite displeased.

He resolutely stepped forward to defend her: "Your Majesty, you may not understand the true strength of Madam Pei. A few years ago, when she was still young, she accurately predicted that my useless son was about to encounter a life-and-death catastrophe based on her observation of my wife's face. It was because of her timely warning that my son was able to escape danger."

When Duke Dingguo heard this, his expression changed slightly.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at Sheng Junwei in front of him.

Looking closely, her pure and elegant face is truly breathtakingly beautiful.

It is an aura as tranquil and far-reaching as a clear spring in a mountain stream, and a charm as detached from the world as the light clouds and breeze.

It was this indescribable sense of peace that made Duke Dingguo decide to give her a chance after weighing the pros and cons.

"Madam Pei," Duke Dingguo said in a deep voice, "if you really have the profound attainments of fortune-telling by counting on your fingers, why don't you predict what this duke is thinking right now? This will verify your authenticity."

King Jingxuan was still leisurely and contented, leaning lazily on the back of his chair, his face filled with a playful smile of watching the fun.

Although Han Yue'er appeared calm on the surface, deep down in her heart, she had a firm prediction about the predicament that Sheng Junwei was about to face.

These days, Han Yue'er has become increasingly skeptical of Sheng Junwei's so-called metaphysical talent, and even regards it as a complete disguise.

In the novel she had read, titled "The Prime Minister's Little Wife", there was no record of Pei Yu's wife being proficient in metaphysics.

She knew that she had traveled to the world of this sweet love novel with Pei Yu as the protagonist, but unfortunately, she was not the heroine in the book who was loved by everyone, but played the role of a tragic cannon fodder in the emotional entanglement between the male and female protagonists.

Although Han Yue'er had a vague memory of the vicious first wife in the book, she knew very well that she was just a pretentious character who depended on the male protagonist for survival.

Once she loses the protection of the male protagonist, she will be like a rootless duckweed with nowhere to rely on.

Therefore, in Han Yueer's view, all the mysterious methods that Sheng Junwei had previously demonstrated were nothing more than bluffing performances in an attempt to deceive the eyes and ears of the world.

Facing Duke Dingguo's questioning, Sheng Junwei did not show any panic, but smiled gently.

She spoke calmly and powerfully, "Your Majesty, there are only two things in your mind. First, if I am not a liar, I may be able to use my ability to help you find your long-lost sister and relieve your pain. Second, if I am really a liar, you will hold me accountable for using your power to commit fraud today."

The words that Sheng Junwei said were exactly the same as his inner speculations, with astonishing accuracy.

King Jingxuan, who was standing by, noticed his grandfather's subtle mood changes and frowned.

Duke Dingguo, however, ignored the thoughts of the people around him. At this moment, his attention was completely focused on Sheng Junwei in front of him.

The originally arrogant attitude was quietly restrained, replaced by respect from the heart.

He straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, and said solemnly: "Master, I beg you to lend a hand and help me find my long-lost little sister. Once this matter is resolved, I will reward you generously and I will never break my promise!"

His words reveal his deep attachment to family affection.

Duke Dingguo's mother only gave birth to two children, him and his sister. However, his sister was accidentally lost when she was young, which became a heart-wrenching pain that his mother could not let go of before her death. She was unable to smile until the last moment.
