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

The girl was wearing an elegant blue dress, as if she had walked out of an ancient book or scroll, and her every move was filled with the rich scent of books.

Facing the boy's complaints, the girl did not give a direct response, but said calmly: "Dr. Sheng is experienced, it is always right to follow his arrangements."

After saying that, she nodded slightly to Sheng Junwei to show her respect and trust.

As Sheng Junwei led everyone into the city, she chatted with Rouer beside her.

"Do you still remember the green bamboos I saw near here last time? It is rare to find such freshness and tranquility outside the hustle and bustle of the capital."

The blue-skirted girl heard this, and her clear eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Do you think we can really find bamboo forests around the capital?"

The two soldiers guarding the city gate looked at him with a hint of mockery when they heard this.

Where does bamboo grow in this bitterly cold land of the north?

However, they did not point out the misunderstanding. Instead, they tacitly took advantage of this opportunity to squeeze a few more cents from the pockets of these seemingly wealthy outsiders for the cost of entering the city.

These travelers are generous, and even if you charge a little more, the other party will not care too much.

Sheng Junwei and others did not show any dissatisfaction with the mere five cents of city entrance fee. They paid it obediently and continued their journey.

Far away from the city gate, beside a sparse woods in the suburbs, the figures of Pei Yu and Han Yue'er quietly emerged.

Pei Yu held Han Yueer's hand tightly and tried to take her away, but she resisted.

Han Yue'er struggled hard, but was shocked by Pei Yu's unexpected strength. In anger, she slapped his shoulder to show her dissatisfaction.

This slap made Pei Yu feel pain. He groaned and his eyes were full of surprise.

What hurt him more than the pain in his shoulder was Han Yueer's behavior: "You...you actually hit me?"

Han Yue'er felt a little regretful, but she remained tough, "Who told you to always meddle in that woman's affairs!"

Pei Yu knew he was in the wrong, so he tried to explain, "Anyway, we almost got into trouble yesterday..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted angrily by Han Yue'er.

"Pei Yu! Do you think I am so incompetent that I can only do bad things?"

Pei Yu felt a headache and tried to explain: "No, it's not like that, but..."

His words were filled with anxiety as he wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

"No buts!" Han Yue'er's voice was filled with disappointment and heartbreak that were hard to conceal.

"Pei Yu, I once thought that you were the safe haven of my soul, the one who could understand me. I naively believed that your love for me was firm. But the reality is so cruel. It seems that I was too stupid and too easy to believe in the so-called love, and I gave you my love!"

"For a heartless person like you, let's end it here between us!"

As these decisive words fell, Han Yue'er slapped Pei Yu's face hard.

Just as Han Yue'er turned around and decided to catch up with the departing convoy, a force suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Let's... go back to the city and talk it over, okay?"

Han Yue'er glared at him, but was speechless for a moment.

At this time, on the other side, after entering the ancient city, Sheng Junwei and her group did not rush to carry out the mission, but leisurely shuttled through the alleys.

Although it is not as prosperous as the imperial capital, it has its own warmth and richness of a small town, and stands out from other surrounding counties.

Even the hustle and bustle of those remote county towns cannot compare with the prosperity in the tranquility of Nan De County.

As they wandered around aimlessly, the crowd began to get agitated and talk.

"I heard they are here to help out in a crisis, so why are they still hanging around?"

"Let me tell you, this woman is just here for show."

"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I should have followed the princess back to the palace. Now the princess is unhappy, and I didn't get to see the fun. It's a big loss."

Sheng Junwei turned a deaf ear to it and looked indifferent, until a certain moment, when she suddenly stopped and all eyes around her focused on her.

Following her solemn gaze, everyone's expressions gradually changed.

Before my eyes, a ragged beggar was crawling on the street corner, and every breath he took was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

Next to him was a tattered bowl with a broken edge and a few copper coins scattered inside.

The most shocking thing was that his limbs were nowhere to be found, leaving only the empty sleeves swaying gently in the wind.

She opened her lips slightly, her tone full of sympathy: "Old Wang, this man looks so pitiful, should we do something, like give him some money to help him?"

When Old Man Wang heard this, he looked confused and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that he had no extra money to give away...

Old man Wang felt mixed emotions, for he knew very well that the girl in front of him was not only his savior, but also took the initiative to help him find his missing son.

He couldn't refuse such a request, but he was embarrassed because he was short of money. He had to force a smile and suggested, "How about you help me pay for it first? I will deduct the money from the charity fund I manage to compensate you."

Just as Old Man Wang was about to say something but hesitated, looking embarrassed.

The beggar who seemed to be on the edge of life suddenly raised his head. His dusty face blurred the original outline, leaving only a pair of eyes, flashing a faint but strange light.

Old man Wang's eyes were involuntarily attracted by those eyes. He was full of doubts, but still tried to continue the conversation with Sheng Junwei.

But at this moment, his sight seemed to be caught by something. He turned his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on the beggar, and a series of surprised shouts came out of his throat unconsciously: "Gou Wa?!"

The beggar let out a weak groan. Despite having lost his limbs, he still tried his best to crawl towards Old Man Wang.

Old man Wang suddenly threw away the old cane in his hand, took a staggering step forward, and caught the figure that suddenly rushed towards him.

This sudden change stunned the people who followed, especially the rich kid who had been arguing fiercely with her before. He was about to open his mouth to attack her again, but was abruptly gagged by this scene.

Sheng Junwei's gaze penetrated the crowd and locked directly on a middle-aged man not far away.

As her gaze shifted, the woman in blue beside her also looked over.

She never uses such slightly harsh words as "sly" to describe others.

But at this moment, facing the sneaky look of the middle-aged man, this word seemed extremely appropriate.

When the man felt the burning gaze, he turned around and tried to flee the scene.

Sheng Junwei told the driver to stay and look after the father and son, and she then moved and leisurely chased the man along the path he had taken.
