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

Sheng Junwei's face was calm, but her tone was full of irresistible determination: "Although we follow the rules of Xuanmen and do not tell fortunes ourselves, the art of divination and rational judgment coexist. I sense that you are hiding something, and this matter is closely related to my body."

"If you keep anything from me now, when the truth comes out, it will only add to the pain for both of us."

Prime Minister Pei couldn't bear to watch this scene and turned his head away, but Zhang's tears burst out again.

Pei Yu was silent for a moment, and finally walked to the bedside and said solemnly: "Okay, I will tell you, but you need to promise me that you will stay calm no matter what. Please believe that no matter what the future holds, the Pei family will work hand in hand with you and will never show any disdain."

Prime Minister Pei raised his hand slightly, signaling Imperial Physician Wang to leave. The latter understood and quietly left the room.

Sheng Junwei's brows were locked with deep doubts: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Pei Yu sat down beside the bed and tried to hold her hand to comfort her, but Sheng Junwei avoided him indifferently, with no emotion in her actions.

Pei Yu was stunned for a moment, then he started to tidy up her bedding: "The sword hit you at a weird angle, unfortunately it hit you directly. If it was just an external injury, you might still be able to recover. However, the sword is poisonous. Although the imperial doctors tried their best to save your life, but..."

"Just tell me the result." Sheng Junwei interrupted, the firmness in her tone unshakable.

Pei Yu's throat choked, and after a brief pause, his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "The possibility of you getting pregnant in the future is probably very small."

Sheng Junwei suddenly raised her eyes and stared at the reactions of the people around her.

Zhang was still wiping her tears with her sleeves. Prime Minister Pei's lonely figure looked particularly desolate, while Pei Yu's face was a mixture of pain and self-blame.

Her words were unusually calm: "How could the Sheng family tolerate a future without descendants, let alone accept a daughter-in-law who cannot have children. I think divorce may be our best option."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yu suddenly looked up and met her calm yet deep gaze. The pain was analyzed layer by layer and then reorganized into a complex emotion.

"Don't talk about divorce, Wei'er, don't think too much."

Pei Yu and Zhang echoed each other. Although Prime Minister Pei did not speak, it was known from the slightly relaxed shoulders that he agreed in his heart.

Sheng Junwei was puzzled. In this society that values ​​offspring, what is the significance of a wife who cannot bear children to the family?

Deep down in her heart, she did not agree with this idea, but she clearly realized that this was the cruel law of the world.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to propose a divorce is not only for oneself, but also for the reputation and future of the Pei family.

After all, she was really exhausted and didn't want to play the role against her will in this complicated emotional drama anymore.

In her memories of her previous life, just because of a word from her master, she accompanied Zheng Yiyang and experienced many twists and turns, laughter and anger, until the end of her life.

But all this now left only a boring void in her heart, and a deep boredom with the endless jealousy and the life of competing with other women to curry favor with the same man.

Pei Mansion, this magnificent mansion in the eyes of the outside world, indeed provided her with a highly respected identity.

The love and care of her parents-in-law made her experience for the first time the warmth of family and the unprecedented kinship that surrounded her. The warmth and care were almost intoxicating.

However, behind this seemingly perfect life, there lies an insurmountable gap.

Her resistance to childbirth and her strong aversion to living with Pei Yu.

Once, she cleverly used the entanglement between Pei Yu and Han Yue'er as an excuse to escape and isolate herself from that suffocating intimacy.

But as time passed, Han Yueer's departure made this apparent tranquility precarious.

She knew very well that no matter how considerate Zhang was, as a mother-in-law, she would eventually consider the continuation of the family bloodline.

In order to avoid a breakup due to fertility issues in the future, she considered seeking a reasonable solution in advance to end this marriage that seemed to have fallen from the blue.

But to her surprise, no one in the Sheng family was willing to accept this proposal.

Perhaps, they were worried that they had just "rescued" the emperor and were afraid that if they were not careful they would offend him and be branded as someone who abandoned his wife, so they opposed it so firmly.

Sheng Junwei thought about it carefully and felt that her speculation was more and more reasonable: "Please rest assured, I will not let you bear any criticism. We can consider separating temporarily. After this storm subsides, I will automatically leave Pei Mansion, and then..."

However, Pei Yu's reaction was extremely firm. He stood up from his seat abruptly: "I will not agree to a divorce. No matter what you become, I will never separate from you!"

Before he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and before leaving, he did not forget to ask the maid to prepare hot medicine.

Sheng Junwei looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions and at a loss as to what to do.

When she turned to face Zhang, she wiped away the tears from her eyes and sighed, "Weier, we are not unreasonable people. Your change was not intentional. It is not your fault. We are not qualified to blame you, and we are even more unwilling to blame you. But about the child..."

Sheng Junwei decisively interrupted her: "What if I say that I simply cannot accept Pei Yu marrying someone else?"

After hearing this, Zhang was visibly stunned, as she had obviously not expected her attitude to be so firm.

Sheng Junwei's eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness. She stared at Zhang and continued, "I really didn't know about Miss Han's affairs before. However, even if I knew it beforehand, since I had already intervened in their relationship, I had no right to stop their fate, so I chose to turn a blind eye. However, I really can't stand the fact that there will be other women around my partner in the future."

Her pale face showed an extraordinary determination at this moment.

In fact, the purpose of her series of actions was nothing more than to leave a good impression on each other and say goodbye in a decent manner.

After all, Zhang was usually pretty nice to her, and she didn't want to leave the other party with a grudge and regret like she did to Yu.

Now that the steps have been paved, she hopes that the Pei family can go with the flow and make everything have a perfect ending.

Unfortunately, the Pei family did not seem to appreciate it. Not only were they unwilling to go down, they even wanted to demolish the steps.

Seeing this, Zhang was obviously unwilling to dwell on this topic any further: "Wei'er, stop imagining nonsense. Listen to your mother and take good care of yourself. In two days, when your legs and feet have recovered, we will go for a walk in the yard together."

After that, she said no more and directly ordered the maid to bring the boiled medicine. Although her face was serious, her eyes were full of heartache and care, and she tried her best to persuade Sheng Junwei to take it.
