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

Fortunately, the sudden increase in merits in recent days replenished her almost exhausted strength in time, otherwise she would have been extremely exhausted and unable to hold on.

At the moment when the tranquility was broken by the sudden noise, Sheng Junwei's gaze unconsciously turned to the window, and an inexplicable ripple surged in her heart, as if she had a premonition that something unusual was about to happen.

At the same time, in a corner of the bustling city, on the second floor of Yunjin Pavilion where Si Qi was, exquisite ready-made clothes and gorgeous fabrics complemented each other.

Several elegant tables and chairs are randomly placed, providing a place for rest for customers who do not want to be confined to a private space.

Here, people can leisurely savor selected teas and exquisite snacks while carefully choosing their favorite clothes.

But this tranquility was quietly broken by the arrival of an uninvited guest.

As Si Qi was strolling in the exhibition area, a mysterious woman covered in a tight black dress suddenly appeared in her sight.

The woman stood with her hands behind her back, her tight-fitting outfit highlighting her slender and strong figure. When she looked back, her skin was as white as snow and her face was cold and clear.

A hint of surprise flashed across Si Qi's heart involuntarily. Such a unique character always inspires her infinite design inspiration.

"I heard there's an embroiderer with superb skills here, is it you?"

The black-clothed woman's voice was clear and sharp. Her eyes swept across Si Qi's bright red dress like a hawk, and her brows slightly frowned. "You are not related to that woman, are you?"

Si Qi's face was full of confusion, and it was obvious that she had not expected this sudden question.

This woman in black is naturally Han Yueer.

The incident at the palace banquet that night made her lose face because of the matter of King Xiaoyao. She wanted to clarify the misunderstanding with Pei Yu, but accidentally ran into Pei Yu's passionate pursuit of another woman. Her heart felt as if pierced by thousands of arrows and she felt completely betrayed.

Mixed with anger and disappointment, she gave up the bookstore and tried to ease the pain in her heart by strolling and shopping.

Unexpectedly, at such a moment, she would accidentally meet an embroiderer who was suspected to be the woman's friend. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that the world seemed to always be against her, and the shadow of that woman seemed to be everywhere.

The corners of his lips curled up with a hint of cold sarcasm: "Humph, I want to see what kind of person that woman's friend is, and what kind of weird and unpredictable clothes he can weave!"

Si Qi narrowed her eyes slightly. She had roughly guessed the identity of the woman in front of her. The initial good impression she had on her disappeared in an instant. "I'm sorry, as the chief embroiderer of Yunjin Pavilion, I have the right to refuse any disrespectful service request. I'm sorry that I cannot accept your request."

Facing the chilling aura and fierceness in Han Yue'er's eyes, Si Qi showed no fear: "You can give it a try. If you are not satisfied, go and argue with our boss. Unless I get a direct order from the boss, I have the right to refuse any order that I don't want to accept."

Those narrow eyes were filled with disdain and contempt: "You are just a tool for people's entertainment, yet you dare to act so presumptuous in front of me. How pathetic!"

"Bitch, you're looking for death!" Han Yue'er was deeply hurt by Si Qi's words. In a rage, she pounced on Si Qi's back.

Just when her palm almost touched Si Qi's vest, an indescribable powerful force emerged out of nowhere, freezing all movements in mid-air.

Han Yueer's face changed drastically, and she tried to withdraw her attack in fear, but it was too late.

She seemed to be hit by an invisible sledgehammer and flew backwards. Although she adjusted her posture in the air and tried to relieve the force with her rich combat experience, she still hit the solid wall heavily and slowly slid down the wall.

Hearing the noise, Si Qi turned around in surprise, looking dazed and confused.

After seeing the situation clearly, she stepped back a few steps cautiously, and said in a clear and calm voice: "I didn't touch you, you lost control and hit the wall yourself, don't try to push the responsibility to me, let alone use this to blackmail me!"

Han Yueer's shock was like a lake hit by a strong wind, difficult to calm down.

She suppressed the boiling blood in her chest and squeezed out these words from between her clenched teeth: "Sheng Junwei, remember this!"

Si Qi's face darkened again, with displeasure flashing in her eyes: "Han Yue'er, are you still reasonable? It's obvious that you are asking for trouble, why are you pushing the blame onto us sisters?"

Han Yue'er's gaze was like a poisoned arrow, fixed on Si Qi. "Don't you disdain to make clothes for me? I want you to sew them yourself! If you can't satisfy me, just wait for your status to plummet and become an ordinary, nameless embroiderer!"

Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door. Sheng Junwei came over and happened to catch Han Yueer's arrogant words.

Her appearance not only attracted the attention of everyone in the room, but even the customers in the next room were attracted by this dramatic scene and gathered around, making the scene extremely lively.

Facing this sudden audience, Han Yue'er's eyes were filled with even more hatred, as if she had found someone to vent her anger on: "I knew that a mere embroiderer like you would have the courage to fight me. It turns out that you have a master here to support you."

Sheng Junwei frowned slightly and was about to open her mouth to refute, but Si Qi took the lead and said with a hint of mockery in her tone: "That's right, with my master as my backer, I am naturally unscrupulous. What about you? Are you afraid, or are you unwilling? Or is it that the person who makes you fearless doesn't dare to stand up for you at this moment?"

Sheng Junwei shook her head helplessly, knowing in her heart that the "master" Si Qi was referring to was Pei Yu.

Si Qi had mentioned Pei Yu's old love many times in private. At that time, her face was distorted, full of bitterness and unwillingness.

But times have changed, and the situation today is different from the past. The person Han Yue'er relies on is no longer Pei Yu of the past, but Prince Xiaoyao, who has great power in the court.

Even though Prince Xiaoyao occasionally behaves out of line, he is a first-rank prince after all. If he really gets involved with Si Qi, the consequences will be disastrous.

After some thought, Si Qi decided to divert Han Yueer's anger.

However, before she could open her mouth, Han Yue'er had already turned the tables: "Sheng Junwei, besides those tricks of trickery, what else do you have?"

There was provocation and disdain in his words.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they see each other.

As soon as Han Yue'er saw Sheng Junwei, the anger and resentment in her heart erupted like a volcano, and she could no longer suppress it.

She could never get over the fact that the great achievement of saving the emperor should have belonged to her!

She replayed the scene of that night in her mind countless times, and finally it dawned on her.

Sheng Junwei had calculated in advance that she would be in danger, foreseen the appearance of the assassin, and even predicted that Han Yueer might make great contributions as a result.
