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

The streets are littered with garbage, and leftovers are mixed with all kinds of daily waste, emitting a disgusting smell. Even people who don't have high requirements for the environment will frown at this.

But for Sheng Junwei, this scene was just a drop in the ocean of the countless difficult experiences she had experienced during her past travels.

She had faced far harsher environments than this one alone. At that time, she was her family's secret adventurer, traveling alone and experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world.

In contrast, Pei Yu seemed a little uncomfortable: "Jun Wei, what is the purpose of our trip?"

His face was filled with confusion and slight disgust.

Although Sheng Junwei felt somewhat helpless, she had to admire his persistence.

This young man, who had won glory for the court in the martial arts arena, was extremely powerful and could keep up with her pace even when following her.

"If your talent is limited to this, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?" she said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Since she couldn't get rid of it, she stopped struggling in vain.

The situation was urgent and there was no time to waste, so she decided to get straight to the point.

"You are welcome to join us, but please keep quiet and don't ask too many questions. When the time comes, all your questions will be answered." Her words were concise and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Pei Yu pursed his lips slightly and reluctantly agreed: "Okay."

As a young talent with both talent and beauty, and who had scored at the top of the imperial examination, he could not help feeling mixed emotions when he was treated so coldly.

Sheng Junwei tried her best to avoid attracting attention, but in this dilapidated street, even the most inconspicuous corners were occupied by poor people, and finding a hidden place was almost a luxury.

So they had no choice but to walk through it with a swagger.

At noon, when the sun is scorching, only hard-working workers will take a short break to eat simple food and replenish their energy. For more poor families, lunch has become a luxury.

At this moment, most people choose to stay indoors and conserve their energy for a nap in the afternoon.

The streets therefore seemed unusually empty, with only a few sparse figures occasionally passing by.

Although Sheng Junwei and Pei Yu were dressed simply, the unique texture of their clothes attracted the attention of several idle passers-by.

In this gloomy background, they became the unintentional focus.

At this moment, the atmosphere around seemed to freeze. All the men's eyes were involuntarily drawn to Sheng Junwei's otherworldly temperament, while the women's gazes were like being attracted by magnets, tightly locked on Pei Yu. There was no distraction between them, and the air was filled with an indescribable tension and expectation.

Pei Yu felt particularly disgusted by these blatant prying eyes, especially when those men looked at Sheng Junwei with an almost predatory look, he felt unhappy.

This almost greedy gaze made Pei Yu feel a kind of contempt and violation that was unbearable for a fellow human being.

However, Sheng Junwei seemed to be out of the matter and was completely unaware of the subtle changes around her. She just walked quickly towards the quiet area at the end of Beijiao Street.

It was completely different from the bustling and noisy streets, it was so quiet that even time seemed to slow down.

At the end of the street, a hunchbacked old man sat quietly in front of the door, busy selecting fresh vegetables with his hands. Next to him was a wooden stick that looked ordinary but was actually weathered by time.

After finishing the work in his hands, the old man slowly stood up and prepared to go into the house to get some clean water.

At this moment, Pei Yu noticed that although the old man's legs and feet seemed to be not very flexible, even without relying on the wooden stick, he could still move forward slowly and firmly, although each step seemed extremely difficult.

Sheng Junwei's gaze was deeply fixed on the old man, revealing an imperceptible concern and anxiety.

Pei Yu felt the urge to ask, but he suddenly remembered an important instruction he had received at the beginning of the year, so he suppressed his curiosity and did not speak out to break this delicate balance.

Sheng Junwei's pace quickened significantly, and her expression was grim, because the warning about the fate of the man named Old Man Wang kept echoing in her mind.

Today, he will encounter a thief, and the fatal blow will be made with Old Man Wang’s own kitchen knife!

At this moment, the critical moment is approaching step by step!

What is even more worrying is that the thief may have been hiding in the old man's home and could attack at any time.

Although the situation was critical, Sheng Junwei knew very well that if she could catch the thief in the act of stealing at this critical moment, it would not only be able to directly prove his crime, but also save a lot of trouble for subsequent handling.

At this critical moment, a sudden scream broke the silence. The sound actually came from the old man's house. This sudden change shocked Old Man Wang. Even Sheng Junwei, who was always calm and composed, frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.

They rushed to the door, and the scene before them confirmed their inner guess.

The door was half open, revealing the scene inside the room - a muscular man was pinned to the ground, and the person who subdued him was Han Yue'er.

Not far away on the ground, a kitchen knife was lying quietly, shining with a cold light, only one or two meters away from the fallen man, as if it had been accidentally dropped in a panic.

Faced with such an unexpected turn, Sheng Junwei was speechless and didn't know how to react.

Han Yueer looked very proud, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she turned to Pei Yu and boasted: "I just happened to see this guy sneaking in through the window with a knife in his hand. It was obviously not a good thing, so I subdued him."

Sheng Junwei remained silent, thinking secretly in her heart.

In comparison, Pei Yu seemed quite satisfied. After all, Han Yueer's timely action not only resolved the immediate crisis, but was also a good thing for the Prime Minister's Mansion, proving their vigilance and strength.

Old Man Wang looked confused and puzzled: "This... How is this possible? Isn't this Butler Liu? What is going on?"

Han Yueer responded coldly: "Isn't it obvious? He clearly has something in mind for you."

When Old Man Wang heard this, he was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Butler Liu struggled hard on the ground, shouting, "Let me go! You crazy woman!"

Then, he turned to the bewildered old man Wang and tried to explain: "Old Wang, don't listen to her nonsense. I just went to the city for something and came to see you. I accidentally took the wrong road and walked into this alley. I thought it would be troublesome to take a detour, so I thought I would come in through the window to say hello to you first."

Butler Liu looked innocent as he continued to explain, "I wanted to inform you in advance, but you weren't at home, so I had to come in first. I wanted to give you a surprise."

In response, Han Yueer sneered disdainfully: "It's full of loopholes! What legitimate visitor would visit by climbing through the window? Isn't it obvious that people will think you are a thief?"
