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

Sheng Junwei noticed Yunying's anxiety and hesitancy, so she slowly poured the remaining milk tea in the cup in her hand into another porcelain cup.

She smiled and handed the cup to Yunying, saying softly, "This is Siqi's new milk tea recipe. Try it. It tastes great."

Yunying usually loves sweets. As soon as she smelled the sweet fragrance in the air, all her unexpressed worries and advice instantly disappeared.

Sheng Junwei was secretly delighted when she saw this. She took this opportunity to gently close her eyes and began to doze off.

She silently recited in her heart: "No matter how powerful others are, I am as calm as the wind blowing over the hills. "

Although Han Yue'er is now famous and in the limelight, in Sheng Junwei's eyes, all this is just a passing cloud.

It won't be long before her name will be more famous and respected than Han Yue'er's.

I feel resentful of Han Yueer's good reputation now. When her reputation falls into disrepute, if I lose my indifferent heart and damage my due cultivation and virtue, wouldn't it be a loss?

Reputation is as changeable as floating clouds, but inner cultivation and accumulated merits are eternal wealth and should never be easily abandoned.

While Sheng Junwei was spending her days leisurely and Han Yue'er was devoting herself to the bookstore business in an attempt to consolidate her position, Pei Yu's road to the imperial examination also reached a critical juncture.

Coincidentally, this year's imperial examination ended just before the emperor's birthday.

Therefore, the three young talents with brilliant literary talent, the new top three, were fortunate enough to be invited to attend the emperor's birthday banquet. They made their mark in the powerful circle of the capital in advance and left a deep impression.

The Wenxi Banquet, the emperor’s birthday celebration held every three years.

No matter they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they are all looking forward to it, paying close attention to whether the new top three can win the appreciation of the dignitaries at the banquet.

The stage of the Wenxi Banquet seems to have magical power that can instantly push an ordinary scholar to the pinnacle of his life.

As time goes by, it seems as if we have returned to the prosperous and brilliant Wenxi Banquet three years ago.

The graceful Princess Zhenrong is like a pearl inlaid in the magnificent royal palace.

At that time, the newly crowned number one scholar walked into the banquet wearing a red robe. His talent instantly attracted the attention of the whole audience and also quietly touched the heartstrings of Princess Zhenrong.

From then on, their love quickly heated up like a harmonious couple.

Soon, with the emperor's blessing, they held a grand wedding in the capital.

In the streets and alleys, whether it was peddlers or dignitaries, they all spread the word and marveled at the luxury and solemnity of this wedding.

The young girls who are waiting to be married are extremely envious and they all fantasize that they can also have such a dream wedding and marry their ideal husband.

After marriage, although Princess Zhenrong was unable to give birth for three years, this did not affect her husband's deep affection for her.

Not only did he personally visit famous doctors to regulate the princess's body, he also carefully selected all kinds of rare treasures just to win the princess's sweet smile.

Their love story is amazing.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several princesses have reached marriageable age.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of generations of ancestors, the status of women in the Dasheng Empire has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Nowadays, the prince consort is no longer bound by power. As long as he has real talent and knowledge, he can be entrusted with important tasks by the court and realize his own value.

Looking back a hundred years ago, the consort of the Princess Protector of Luoyang made great achievements with his outstanding talents, left his name in history, and became a role model admired by future generations.

Finally, the much-anticipated scientific examination results announcement day arrived as scheduled.

Surrounded by his classmates, Pei Yu had already occupied the best position to view the list.

And Han Yue'er always stays by his side.

As Xinhua Bookstore became more famous, Pei Yu was praised as a selfless saint. His noble qualities won the admiration of the world and also made his father, Prime Minister Pei, more firmly established in the emperor's heart.

As a result, Zhang's attitude towards Han Yue'er softened. As long as they behaved appropriately, she would choose to acquiesce and no longer interfere too much.

In contrast, Sheng Junwei had no interest in this lively viewing of the rankings. She preferred to relax and enjoy herself in Yunyi Pavilion.

However, some people don't want her to live so comfortably.

Upon learning the bad news that Pei Yu was about to fail the exam, Sheng Ruijiao was secretly happy. She decided to give Sheng Junwei this "surprise" when she was in high spirits.

However, when she learned that Sheng Junwei was physically and mentally exhausted from taking care of the women in Sanma Village and was now in seclusion to recuperate, her anger instantly flared up.

In Sheng Ruijiao's eyes, Sheng Junwei was just taking advantage of the opportunity of rebirth to cheat, under the banner of running around for the women of Sanma Village, but in fact she had ulterior motives.

Although she had heard about what happened to Duke Dingguo's sister, she had no time to pay attention to this detail due to her own worrying situation recently.

After all, the return of Duke Dingguo's sister happened several years later, and the matter was kept strictly confidential and little known.

If she hadn't accidentally heard the news in the study, she would probably still be kept in the dark.

At that time, she was only interested in suppressing Han Yue'er and was completely oblivious to any developments in the outside world.

That's why she had no time to take care of these trivial matters, which gave Sheng Junwei an opportunity to take advantage of her.

The more Sheng Ruijiao thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the resentment in her heart surged like a tide.

At this time, Sheng Junwei was still hiding in the room and not showing up, which made her feel as if she was isolated in the corner.

Just as she was about to leave in anger, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhang's carriage parked not far away from the corner of her eye.

Sheng Ruijiao's eyes turned cunning. If she can't deal with Sheng Junwei, can she not deal with you, Zhang?

In her previous life, this old woman pretended to be very protective of her legitimate daughter-in-law, and was extremely strict with Han Yue'er, repeatedly preventing them from having any relationship with Pei Yu.

But within a short period of time, her attitude changed drastically and she relaxed!

They said that I was the one and only young lady in the prime minister's mansion and that I would be the future mistress.

The results of it?

Pei Yu suggested building a new mansion for me to live alone, and they had no objection, leaving me alone in that lonely new house.

Humph, this hypocritical old witch!

"Mrs. Pei." Sheng Ruijiao stepped forward quickly. Although her tone was not impolite, it contained a hint of provocation.

Zhang naturally recognized her. After all, when she was choosing a daughter-in-law, Sheng Ruijiao was her first choice.

It’s a pity that the Sheng family regards this real daughter as the apple of their eye and is not interested in the family background of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. They only want to cling to the big tree of the Duke’s Mansion.

Although she finally chose Sheng Junwei as a second choice, Zhang now believes that her decision was a wise one.

"Oh, it turns out to be the wife of Young Master Zheng." Zhang's expression remained calm, maintaining due courtesy and propriety.

However, Sheng Ruijiao had personally experienced Zhang's fiery passion, so how could she not see through her indifference and alienation at this moment?

This change made her angrier.

In her previous life, had Zhang ever been so cold to her?
