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

But now he is giving her a hard time because of that girl Sheng Junwei!

Sheng Ruijiao's face suddenly turned gloomy, and her anger was evident in her words.

At the same time, Sheng Junwei was in her boudoir carefully calculating what use the gold, silver and treasures in the treasury could have.

She knows that the satisfaction brought by money is wonderful, but in her opinion, enjoying a wealthy life while accumulating blessings from good deeds is the truly pleasant thing.

Suddenly, her heart trembled, and she began to calculate quickly with her fingertips. Her face suddenly became gloomy: "Yunying, quickly put away the account book, we will leave early."

Yunying was confused by this sudden order. Although she didn't understand what it meant, she still obeyed her master's instructions and quickly put the account book away properly.

Sheng Junwei had already changed her clothes quickly and walked straight towards the gate of the mansion.

In front of the prime minister's residence, Sheng Ruijiao's flattery of Zhang had reached its limit, and it would be uncultured to continue.

She estimated in her heart that it was probably time for Pei Yu to return home in disgrace.

At this moment, Zhang looked at Sheng Ruijiao, whose words and actions were quite strange, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

I could clearly feel her malicious intent approaching step by step, and that aura was like an undercurrent surging.

At this moment, Sheng Junwei hurried over, and what caught her eyes was Sheng Ruijiao's proud and complacent look, in contrast to Zhang's face full of confusion and astonishment.

She walked quickly forward and gently held Zhang's wrist. A warm spiritual power flowed quietly, silently soothing Zhang's fluctuating emotions.

"Mother." Sheng Junwei called softly, and was about to comfort Zhang, telling her that everyone has their own destiny, and there is no need to worry too much about not being able to pass the exam this time. With Pei Yu's talent and perseverance, he will definitely be on the list of successful candidates next year.

However, when her eyes met Zhang's face which suddenly darkened, her words froze in her throat and turned into silence.

"What's wrong, Wei'er?" Zhang noticed that Sheng Junwei was acting strangely, and her heart tightened.

Whenever Sheng Junwei showed this expression, it often meant that something ominous was about to happen.

Sheng Junwei withdrew her gaze and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"It's okay, mother." She said softly, "I just want to remind you that no matter how happy you are later, please stay calm and don't get too excited."

Indeed, in recent times, Sheng Junwei has been immersed in the world of cultivation. Apart from being with Yun Ying, she has also been interacting with the loyal servants of Yun Yi Pavilion.

Although these servants were busy shuttling around the mansion all day, they rarely had the opportunity to get close to this young lady with a unique personality.

Even such alienation could not stop Sheng Junwei from having a keen insight into the changes around her.

Especially for Zhang, although as the feelings between them grew deeper, Sheng Junwei could no longer easily glimpse the subtle threads of fate from Zhang's face, she could still capture some significant changes.

At this moment, the unconcealable joy on Zhang's face undoubtedly indicated the good news about Pei Yu's high school ranking.

Hearing this, Sheng Ruijiao raised a mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth, stared directly at Sheng Junwei, and said provocatively: "Hey, do you really think that what happened to Madam Pei is a happy event?"

She turned to Zhang and said sarcastically, "Mrs. Pei, don't be fooled by her. We grew up together, and we all know her tricks. How can she be so talented? They are just tricks to attract attention. If you believe them, you will really lose. When the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Sheng Ruijiao's words were full of contradictions. She had obviously lost her mind and completely ignored the loopholes in her words.

On weekdays, she could barely maintain superficial harmony in front of other members of the Sheng family, and was unwilling to let family members pay too much attention to Sheng Junwei.

However, facing Zhang, a "good old man" who was always known for her kindness and amiability, she could no longer suppress the hostility in her heart, and even wanted to provoke Zhang with words, making him furious and fuming.

"How dare you, junior, be so rude!" Zhang's voice was filled with anger that was hard to conceal.

Ever since she ascended the throne of the Prime Minister's wife, no one in this world had dared to show the slightest disrespect to her. Even when facing the powerful people in the palace, she never lowered her head.

Sheng Ruijiao, who was standing in front of her at this moment, was just an unknown junior, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly in front of her.

Seeing this, Sheng Junwei gently patted Zhang's back.

Her voice was soft and beautiful. "Mother, why do you have to get angry over such an unworthy person? She is not worldly-wise, nor does she have the demeanor of a great person. You must not hurt your own body because of her."

Sheng Ruijiao rolled her eyes angrily when she heard this.

This fake guy can't get rid of the petty-mindedness in his bones!

Just as Sheng Ruijiao's sarcasm was rising in her heart, Sheng Junwei spoke again: "To deal with such an ignorant youngster, we only need to tell his elders and husband about his disrespectful behavior and let them educate him. Why should we lower our status and style for such people?"

When Zhang heard this, her anger was instantly extinguished by the chill of reason.

She nodded in agreement: "Weier is right. People like this who lack education should be strictly disciplined by their families. We don't need to get angry about it."

Thinking of this, Zhang's gaze seemed to penetrate Sheng Ruijiao in front of her.

The life of this rich girl after marrying into a wealthy family was not as glamorous as outsiders imagined.

Zheng Yiyang was a notorious playboy. The women in his family changed constantly like a revolving lantern. There was even a scandal in which his concubine became pregnant first, which brought shame to his wife.

Although the Duke's Mansion tried to cover up the matter, the truth could not be hidden and the matter had already spread widely in the upper class society of the capital.

The Duke's wife also had a bad reputation and was widely criticized for her behavior.

Thinking of this, the anger in Zhang's heart completely dissipated, replaced by a hint of pity and regret.

On the other hand, Sheng Ruijiao was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He glared at Sheng Junwei and shouted, "Sheng Junwei, you are so despicable and shameless!"

Facing Sheng Ruijiao's scolding, Sheng Junwei just smiled calmly: "If fighting back against others' sinister calculations in order to protect the people I care about is considered despicable, then I am willing to bear such an evaluation."

When Zhang heard this, her heart trembled and she involuntarily covered her chest with her hands.

At this moment, Sheng Junwei seemed to be shrouded in a sacred light in her eyes.

Zhang had never had such a strong feeling before, someone standing by her side so firmly.

From this moment on, she will protect her daughter-in-law unreservedly, even if it means making the whole world an enemy, even if it costs her life, she will not hesitate.

Pei Yu hurried home with his recent achievements.

Just at this moment, Sheng Junwei's resounding oath lingered in his ears.

He felt mixed emotions.

Before this, Han Yue'er tried her best to persuade him to leave the ancient Pei family mansion and pursue their own life on the grounds that he had good results in the imperial examinations.
