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

However, he was also keenly aware that King Jingxuan's disappointment and anger over the trip to Sanma Village would most likely be transferred to Sheng Junwei.

Although King Jingxuan would not vent his anger on innocent people, facing such a complicated situation and people's hearts are unpredictable, who can guarantee that everything will develop according to common sense?

Pei Yu's heart was filled with worries, but he knew that he had to remain calm at this moment. Only in this way could he find a glimmer of hope for Sheng Junwei in the coming storm.

"You couldn't find it?" Sheng Junwei's tone carried a subtle hint of perfunctory and mocking, as if she was mocking the unpredictability of fate.

After a moment, a trace of apology flashed in her eyes: "Sorry, I missed one thing. The location of Sanma Village is roughly correct, but it is slightly off. Your sister is not in Sanma Village, but in a place called Lihua Town, fifty miles away from Sanma Village."

The name of Lihua Town itself seems to contain poetry and mystery.

There, the story of the big landlord family named Tian is quietly unfolding.

In her early years, a young lady from the Jin family was accidentally kidnapped and fell into endless darkness and panic.

However, life often gives people unexpected turns at the most desperate moments.

With her extraordinary wisdom and strong will, the young lady managed to escape by chance and accidentally joined the Jin family's caravan.

The head of the Jin family, an elder who had experienced many hardships but always had a fatherly heart, felt an indescribable feeling of pity when he saw this intelligent and beautiful woman.

He knew very well that she was unable to provide any specific information about her family and relatives, and must have experienced suffering that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

So, while he tried his best to find out the mystery of her life experience, he decided to adopt her as his daughter and heal the wounds in her heart with a warm family and endless love.

When the lady was abducted, she had no money and no identity documents.

Even though the Jin family was extremely anxious and wanted to do their best to find her relatives, facing the vast territory of the Dasheng Empire, they could only helplessly sigh at the insignificance of human power and the vagueness of clues.

In particular, the villain who kidnapped the young lady left the area half a year later, which instantly cut off the already weak clues.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the care of the Jin family, the adopted daughter has grown into a beautiful young lady and is now of marriageable age.

The Jin family treated her as their own daughter and loved her very much. They didn't want her to marry someone else and endure the hardships of life.

It just so happened that she and the young master of the Jin family were in love with each other, and their eyes were full of expectations and longings for the future.

Therefore, the Jin family held a grand wedding for them, hoping that their love would be as perfect as a golden marriage and last forever.

Although life after marriage was not always smooth sailing, the deep love between the couple and their pair of lively and lovely children made the family full of laughter and joy, and their days could be described as happy and fulfilling.

Sheng Junwei looked at Duke Dingguo's anxious and angry expression, her lips slightly raised, and she said with a smile: "You may be eager to get angry with me at this moment, but please be patient. If you don't look for them within three days, your son and daughter-in-law will encounter misfortune, and your sister will be depressed all day after losing her children, and she will not live long."

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing Duke Dingguo's heart, and instantly plunged him into endless panic and struggle.

His face turned pale instantly, and the shock and fear in his heart almost overflowed from his eyes.

He had to admit that there was a moment just now when he had the thought of punishing Madam Pei in front of him.

After all, it is difficult for someone who has been deceived once to rebuild trust easily.

However, what she said at this moment concerned the life and death of her relatives. How could he sit idly by?

She even said that if he didn't go find his sister immediately, his sister would be in trouble...

He couldn't imagine how much regret and pain he would feel if all this really happened.

He... doesn't dare to gamble!

Duke Dingguo's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared straight at Sheng Junwei. There was anger, helplessness, and deep worry in his eyes.

He warned word by word: "I will trust you once more, but if you dare to tease me again, even if your father-in-law is the prime minister, I will never let you off easily!"

His words were full of determination and resolve; he would never give anyone the chance to hurt his loved ones again.

"You can rest assured that you won't have the chance to hold me accountable." Sheng Junwei answered with great certainty. Her confident look seemed to tell Duke Dingguo that everything she said was true and credible.

She knew that Duke Dingguo had no way out at this moment and could only choose to trust her and save his loved ones.

Duke Dingguo glared at Sheng Junwei, his eyes filled with complex emotions including anger, confusion, and helplessness.

He took a deep breath, then turned and walked away quickly, leaving behind a heavy and depressing atmosphere.

King Jingxuan frowned slightly. He looked at Sheng Junwei's gorgeous but always nonchalant face expressionlessly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He said coldly, "You obviously already knew where my grandmother was. You are just trying to make trouble for my grandfather and me for no reason, and you want to take the opportunity to humiliate Yue'er."

He was obviously extremely angry about Sheng Junwei's behavior.

Facing the question from King Jingxuan, Sheng Junwei only raised her eyebrows slightly, showing an innocent look, and responded calmly: "If the prince thinks so, I can do nothing about it."

There was no hint of defence or rebuttal in her tone; she just quietly accepted King Jingxuan's accusation, as if she had already anticipated such an outcome.

However, there was a subtle slyness and complacency in her eyes, as if suggesting that the truth of the matter was not so simple...

King Jingxuan stared at the woman in front of him. She had clear eyes and a face as white as jade. Her innocent look seemed like a touch of pure white that had been forgotten by the troubles of the world.

Her words were earnest and sincere, and every word was like a resounding oath that struck people's hearts.

However, this seemingly flawless scene aroused an uncontrollable anger in his eyes, like hot lava rolling in his chest.

"You'd better pray that grandpa can find grandma successfully, otherwise..." His tone was cold, and every word seemed to be filled with frost, "No one can save you."

Before he finished speaking, he angrily waved his sleeves, and a murderous aura filled the air as his clothes fluttered.

The moment he turned around, his gaze was like moonlight obscured by dark clouds, passing through a deep haze.

He had a hunch deep in his heart that what the woman said was not false, and that there was a great chance that his grandfather would find his long-lost grandmother during this search.

However, this was exactly the outcome he was trying to avoid.

He knew very well that the reason Yue'er provided wrong information was not out of malicious deception, but due to errors and omissions in the information itself.
