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

Her words were like a bomb dropped into the crowd, causing an uproar.

"Even if the six of you brothers and sisters squander money every day and throw money on the streets like water, with your current savings, you can still live for hundreds of years without spending any money."

When these words were spoken, Sheng Ruijiao was extremely shocked, and the onlookers around were in an uproar. Emotions of shock and disbelief quickly spread among the crowd.

"The amount of corruption and bribery is as high as tens of millions of taels!"

Even someone as slow to react as Sheng Ruijiao knew the seriousness of the crime of corruption: "You, you are totally slandering me!"

Meanwhile, the second brother Sheng Mingwu, who always loves to stir up trouble, could not hold back his anger when he saw his sister being humiliated. He said in a harsh voice, "Sheng Junwei, stop spitting blood at me here!"

Sheng Junwei's gaze was calm and piercing. "So now, can you let your sister leave?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Mingwu stared at her with eyes like a venomous snake, "Don't think that you can sit firmly on the position of mistress just because you have climbed up the high branch of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Without the support of your family, I wonder how long you can be proud!"

In response, Sheng Junwei only responded with a casual smile: "Whether I am proud or not, you don't need to worry about it, Mr. Sheng. But please remember one thing: in the future, it is best not to let your sister provoke me again. Once I am unhappy, I might blurt out something I shouldn't say. Don't regret it then."

"Because it's too late to regret."

Sheng Mingwu's hand holding Sheng Ruijiao's arm suddenly tightened. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes like frozen ice: "How dare you do this?!"

Sheng Junwei's smile deepened, and she said calmly, "Try it, and you'll know if I dare or not."

In the end, Sheng Mingwu's frown failed to relax and he chose to remain silent.

At this time, Si Qi rushed to the scene and heard the whole incident. She was so angry that she almost exploded: "These people simply have no bottom line. They treated you like this before, and now they have the nerve to stand up and talk to you about morality and justice?"

However, Sheng Junwei's expression was unusually calm, as if she was used to it all: "Ignore them, they will have countless troubles in the future."

What she threw today was not a stone to hurt people, but a bait to lure big fish to take the bait.

Once the Sheng family is attracted by this huge profit and falls into the trap, what awaits them will be endless busyness and inescapable consequences.

Tens of millions of taels of silver, this game has gone beyond a simple dispute. As for Lord Sheng who has lost his official position, how could his old rivals let him go easily just because of the loss of an official hat?

The days ahead are destined to be one good show after another.

She had no intention of getting entangled with this group of people, but since they were unwilling to give up and kept pressing her, she had no choice but to accompany them to the end.

Sheng Ruijiao's hurried footsteps echoed on the bluestone road, and with an anger that could not be ignored, she rushed directly to the usually quiet corner.

Her delicate features were vivid with anger, and the fire flickering in her eyes seemed to ignite the air around her.

Not far behind her, Sheng Mingwu gave her invisible support without making any sound, which made her more imposing.

In the eyes of others, all this is undoubtedly a small display of power within the Sheng family, which should not be underestimated.

"Well, it's a long story. We really need to find some time to think it over carefully regarding Luo Ming's matter."

Sheng Junwei gently stroked the folding fan in her sleeve while exchanging glances with Si Qi beside her. Both of them knew what was going on.

In this complex and ever-changing family, an inadvertent helping hand may cause a storm in the future.

At this moment, amid their laughter and conversation, it seemed as if a big chess game had been quietly laid out.

Just as the two were discussing countermeasures, the brother and sister Sheng Ruijiao and Sheng Mingwu quietly turned into a narrow alley.

On both sides of the alley, the ancient brick walls are covered with moss from the years, and the sunlight can hardly penetrate the dense eaves, creating a dim and depressing atmosphere.

Sheng Ruijiao looked up at her second brother beside her. That face, which was always calm to the point of being indifferent, seemed even more gloomy today. Her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In her mind, this brother is not only the backbone of the family, but also an unpredictable existence. His toughness and ruthless decision-making often make her respect and fear him.

"Second brother..." Sheng Ruijiao's voice softened, with a barely perceptible hint of request.

Her charming voice would make even the most hard-hearted person feel a little soft.

Hearing this, Sheng Mingwu paused, his eyes as sharp as ice, and asked coldly: "Why do you have to be entangled with her?"

Sheng Ruijiao pursed her lips, looking innocent and aggrieved: "Second brother, I just can't swallow this. She was so glorious in the past, but she was the initiator of our Sheng family's miserable situation. It is true that I was wrong, but she could have saved the Queen Mother at that time, but she waited until my father broke off relations with her before helping her. How sinister was her mind?"

At this point, Sheng Ruijiao's eyes flashed with hatred: "If it weren't for her delay, the Queen Mother wouldn't have gone crazy in the end, causing His Majesty to be furious and causing my father to suffer such a disaster. Second brother, do you know that since then, I have trouble sleeping every night, and my dreams are all about the scene of my family's decline."

Although Sheng Mingwu did not fully understand the twists and turns, he was extremely indignant when he heard his sister's accusations.

He is known in his family for being ruthless and decisive, and will never easily forgive any behavior that hurts his family.

What's more, although he had not witnessed the "family scandal" with his own eyes, he knew a thing or two from other brothers, and he had actually been biased deep in his heart.

"I never thought that she could fabricate a lie about her father's corruption to escape responsibility!"

Sheng Ruijiao was so angry that her voice almost trembled.

In her heart, her father's image is tall and majestic, the embodiment of justice and bravery. How could he be tainted with the slightest stain?

After hearing this, Sheng Mingwu's face darkened, but he did not express his opinion immediately. He just said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore."

These few simple words made Sheng Ruijiao feel a chill in her heart. Could it be that her second brother was going to let the impostor Jingxuan go unpunished?

Although she was filled with resentment and anger in her heart, she was smart and naturally knew how to play her role within the family.

She forced a bitter smile and said softly, "I was ignorant and shouldn't have been so cruel to my sister. Even though she caused my father to lose his job and brought shame upon us, we have lived under the same roof for many years and are blood relatives. I should have been more tolerant..."

Sheng Mingwu patted her shoulder gently, his eyes complicated: "Silly sister, you are right. She is the one who should apologize, not you..."

However, asking Sheng Ruijiao to apologize to Sheng Junwei seemed ridiculous to Sheng Mingwu.

In his heart, there was only overwhelming hatred and murderous intent towards the "fake".
