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

On the side, Sheng Junwei seemed calm and composed, as if she had expected all this: "Princess, you are very observant. What I am about to say may not have been heard by you."

Bai Liuqing's family background is not simple. Although his father is a mediocre official, there are hidden troubles in the backyard of his mansion.

In addition to his wife, he also took in two young and beautiful concubines.

And Mr. Bai was the illegitimate son born to this concubine, and his identity was a bit embarrassing.

Although a bastard's son, Bai Liuqing has a fire burning in his heart that refuses to be ordinary.

He was confident that he was far superior to his legitimate brother in terms of both appearance and talent.

Therefore, he always looks for every opportunity to show himself and desires recognition.

And his mother kept whispering in his ears and encouraging him to climb up.

In her opinion, as long as her son could become successful, this unfavored mother and son might be able to make a comeback. She even fantasized that one day she could make the master divorce his wife and make her the legitimate wife, and then Bai Liuqing's status would change from concubine to legitimate.

However, all matters, big and small, in the mansion were controlled by the elderly and majestic Old Lady Bai.

The authority of this family has almost harsh requirements for maintaining family rules and pure bloodline. He will never allow a concubine to be favored over a wife or a concubine's son to usurp the throne of a legitimate son. He believes that this is the root cause of the family's misfortune.

Although Mr. Bai is talented, it is almost impossible for him to succeed by studying alone under the strict supervision of Old Lady Bai.

So he began to look for other ways to advance.

One day, he unexpectedly discovered that he was somewhat similar to the current emperor's son-in-law, which ignited his ambition.

He thought to himself, since the second son of the famous Xie family in Qianxi could become a noble prince consort as a man, why couldn't he?

He didn't think there was anything wrong with using women to get to the top. Even someone as prominent as the Second Young Master Xie was just a foil to the royal family. Even if he became a lover, what was that worth mentioning?

More importantly, he had full confidence that once he entered the princess's mansion, he would have his own way to make the princess fall in love with him.

Even if he cannot replace the prince consort's position in the end, if the princess can give birth to a son or daughter for him, the child will have undisputed royal blood, and his mother will be able to gain a firm foothold in the family.

By then, even Old Lady Bai would not dare to despise their existence, and the dream of abolishing the wife and establishing a concubine, which once seemed like a fantasy, might no longer be empty talk.

It has to be said that Mr. Bai is indeed very skilled in emotional manipulation. With his gentleness and wisdom, he successfully captured the princess's heart, making her fall in love with him alone among all the other beloved ones.

The princess gradually ignored other talented people in the palace, and even to her nominal prince consort, she only visited him symbolically on the first and fifteenth day of every month for the sake of family reputation.

And whenever the prince consort met the princess, his face was always as cold as frost and he was extremely indifferent. His aloof attitude made the princess recall Mr. Bai's gentleness and thoughtfulness. The contrast in her heart became increasingly clear, and her longing for Mr. Bai grew like wild weeds in spring.

Gradually, even when it was required by traditional etiquette to visit her husband on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the princess began to find various excuses to shirk her duties, and her heart was filled with unspeakable evasion and indifference towards that cold room.

The Mr. Bai, whom you regard as your confidant, is taking advantage of your trust and favor behind your back, unscrupulously bullying the servants in your mansion, and he is even more domineering and ruthless towards those colleagues who are not favored.

Even the honorable prince consort was not immune to his bullying and became another victim of his power game.

During this period of time, the prince consort's ears were often filled with sarcasm and ridicule from all sides: "So what if you come from the famous Qianxi Xie family? After all, you can't compare to the clever methods of that Mr. Bai, right?"

And these sharp words actually came from the mouth of Mr. Bai, directly challenging the prince consort himself. The contempt and provocation in them were like cold needles, piercing the heart.

Not only that, Mr. Bai also shamelessly told the Prince Consort all of your private secrets that should not be disclosed to outsiders, using them as capital for showing off.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the prince consort whose self-esteem was higher than the sky.

He had already endured the great humiliation of sharing his lover with others, and now he learned that his beloved was unfaithful to him. This was not only a violation of his dignity, but also a severe emotional blow.

In addition, due to his proud personality, he had been able to keep silent in the past. However, facing the recent direct challenges from Mr. Bai, he mistakenly believed that the princess was behind all this, and the last bit of tenderness in his heart turned to ashes.

Therefore, when the princess stepped into his room again, she was no longer greeted by the usual tenderness, but a gaze as cold as a glacier.

Princess Changle was shocked and incredulous when she heard this: "Bai Liuqing, is what she said true?"

Bai Liuqing waved her hands eagerly to deny it, sweat already oozing out of her forehead: "Your Highness, how dare I do that! Your Highness is such a noble person, how could I have the guts to do such a thing!"

However, Sheng Junwei's voice was calm and firm, as if she had seen through everything: "You really dare, Mr. Bai. Not only do you dare to test the bottom line of the prince consort, you are not afraid to betray the princess's trust, and you are even so casual in the relationship between men and women."

She stared at the princess, and the pity that flashed across her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts: "Princess, do you know that Mr. Bai, whom you rely on, is actually a person who has no specific boundaries for love?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly destroying Princess Changle's composure: "What!? How is this possible..."

Bai Liuqing's expression suddenly changed, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Who is this woman and why can she uncover his deepest secrets one by one?

He thought he had done everything perfectly, but now it seems that everything has been exposed to the public.

An unprecedented fear and regret intertwined together, and he began to question his own judgment, wondering whether he should not rashly provoke Sheng Junwei, a woman who seemed ordinary but was actually unfathomable.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with resentment and indignation, and he forced himself to refute: "Doctor Sheng, I admit that I was not thoughtful enough before, but you are so reckless, it's really too much! My loyalty to the princess is evident to all heaven and earth, and I have no second thoughts! I only think about the princess, how could I have any improper thoughts about men!"

Sheng Junwei slowly raised her eyelids upon hearing this, her eyes deep and meaningful: "Loyal and faithful, as the sun and the moon can attest? Are you referring to the fact that you have secretly embezzled the princess's wealth many times and enriched yourself? You are dressed luxuriously, your concubines are also adorned with jewels, and even your 'special friend' is enjoying the benefits brought by this ill-gotten wealth, using the money to purchase real estate and land, and lingering in places of fireworks every night, indulging in excessive pleasures?"
