Shen Peiwei's reputation not only terrified his enemies, but also intimidated the entire court and the public.

From the prime minister, who was second only to the emperor, to the common people, no one dared to challenge him.

Even though he was in a wheelchair, no one dared to look down on him.

He is a legendary figure who became famous at the young age of ten and was subsequently bestowed the title of Prince Ling.

In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, only Song Siyan, that amazing young general, could be compared to him.

"Miss Song, do you still feel wronged?" Shen Pei looked at Song Siyao, his tone flat, revealing no emotion.

But in the eyes of others, Shen Pei treated Song Siyao like a precious treasure.

After all, he had never spoken to anyone in that voice before.

Perhaps he himself didn't even realize it.

Moreover, just because Song Siyao was wronged, he wanted to retaliate on the spot. Such tenderness and pampering increased the number of women present who were jealous of Song Siyao.

Shen Pei was the dream man of countless women in the capital, but he had never been interested in women and had never been involved in any scandals with any woman.

It doesn't matter what everyone can't have, but now that Song Siyao is being treated specially by Shen Pei, she is the public enemy of all the women who are obsessed with Shen Pei.

"No grievance."

If you're going to pretend, then pretend to the end.

Song Siyao personally helped Song Yu'er up, speaking gently like an older sister, and said earnestly, "Third sister, I know you are young and immature, and you take your frustrations out on me. I can tolerate this at home, but with everyone watching, it's hard for me to be tolerant."

"I...I..." Song Yu'er was so angry that tears were about to come out. She finally understood what Song Siyao meant when she said that she would leave Song Siyao with nowhere to go.

The sarcastic and treacherous tactics that Song Siyao is currently employing are all things she excels at.

But then she didn't know how to deal with it.

"Third sister, don't cry. Your face is covered in so much rouge. Look, when your tears fall, they form a deep line. It looks terrible."

Song Siyao comforted her gently, but every word was like a knife, digging into Song Yu'er's heart.

Shen Pei's gaze remained fixed on Song Siyao from beginning to end.

He knew Song Siyao was using underhanded tactics, pretending to be weak while actually being strong, but he didn't mind. On the contrary, he felt that this side of Song Siyao was strangely familiar.

Like the Song Siyan I remember, mischievous, quick-witted, and lively.

Thinking of Song Siyan, Shen Pei's lips curled up slightly, a smile so faint it was almost imperceptible.

But his little gesture instantly eased the tense atmosphere on the field, and everyone began to whisper among themselves.

"So Miss Song is so kind. She's such a good older sister."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei is of noble character and integrity, General Pingwei and his brothers are chivalrous and righteous, the Marquis's wife is loyal and virtuous, and Miss Song the Second is naturally no less so."

"I'm so blind! I never imagined that Miss Song's usual gentleness and kindness were all an act. She could be so cruel to her own sister in front of everyone. I wonder how vicious she is behind people's backs."

"She not only dared to lay a hand on her own sister, but she didn't even spare her own brother-in-law."

……

The crowd was abuzz with discussion and curses, all directed at Song Yu'er.

Song Yu'er gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Song Siyao to pieces, but she couldn't now.

She gritted her teeth and swallowed the words, looking at Song Siyao as she said, word by word, "I will always remember my second sister's teachings and repay her kindness in the future!"

She vowed not to be human unless she returned the humiliation she had suffered today tenfold to Song Siyao.

“I am very pleased that my third sister has admitted her mistake and corrected it. I am always ready to repay her.” Song Siyao said dignifiedly.

After their verbal sparring ended, Song Yu'er reluctantly returned to her seat.

Just then, Meng Zhanting walked in.

He didn't know what had happened at the beginning, but he heard everyone talking about Song Yu'er and saw Song Siyao speaking to Song Yu'er in a sarcastic tone, so he immediately rushed over.

"Song Siyao, we've already broken up. Can you please stop making things difficult for Yu'er? She's innocent. If you have any complaints, take them out on me!"

After Meng Zhanting finished speaking, he began to look around, observing the reactions of the people around him.

He is an extremely proud man. Now that he is engaged to Song Yu'er, if he doesn't stand up for her at this time, others will surely say that he is heartless.

“Deputy Commander Meng, you are nothing but trash that I want to throw away. I have no complaints about you. Please stay as far away from me as possible.”

Song Siyao said coldly, "As for Song Yu'er, you go and ask her what happened yourself."

"Song Siyao, you said you have no complaints about me, which means you're extremely satisfied with me. I knew you were playing hard to get..."

"Vice Commander Meng!"

Before Meng Zhanting could finish speaking, Shen Pei interrupted, "It was I who punished Miss Song. Now you want to seek justice for her?"

Meng Zhanting was unaware of Shen Pei's punishment of Song Yu'er, and he dared not confront Shen Pei. His voice immediately lowered, "I wonder what Yu'er did to offend Your Highness?"

“Miss Song the Third bullied Miss Song the Second. I saw injustice and drew my sword to help. Do you have a problem with that?” Shen Pei raised an eyebrow.

"Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding..."

"Does Vice Commander Meng mean that I am blind and have wronged Miss Song?" Shen Pei's gaze was sharp.

"This humble official dares not," Meng Zhanting said, bowing his head slightly and speaking respectfully.

"Vice Commander Meng, Minister Yan has already declared that Miss Song and you are no longer friends. Don't make a futile entanglement. Just do your job well, or I will hold you accountable!"

Shen Pei's voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear; he was trying to clear Song Siyao's name.

It was Song Siyao who abandoned Meng Zhanting, not the other way around.

He was warning Meng Zhanting that if he caused trouble for Song Siyao again, he would cause trouble for Meng Zhanting in return.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Meng Zhanting lowered his head, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. Song Siyao, whom he looked down upon, had actually managed to find a backer like Shen Pei. Wasn't this a blatant slap in his face?

But how could someone like Shen Pei possibly be interested in a discarded woman like Song Siyao? Song Siyao must have used some underhanded methods to seduce Shen Pei. It seems Song Yu'er was right; Song Siyao is the shameless woman.

After dealing with Meng Zhanting, Shen Pei's gaze fell on Song Siyao, as bright as golden sunlight.

"Miss Song, please take your seat."

Song Si nodded. She was very grateful that Shen Pei had openly defended her.

At this moment, her gaze fell on Yan Wei, who was traveling with Shen Pei.

She had already noticed that from the moment Yan Wei entered and saw her, his gaze had been fixed on her and had never left her.

Yan Wei acted as if he had known her for a long time.
