How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 632: Standing Up for Her

When the maid came in to serve, Pei Yu followed her in.

Shen Wanqing was now very calm and composed.

Without a man in her heart, she found herself much happier.

As for Pei Yu, since he came to find her, it was naturally his role to start a conversation.

Pei Yu took the comb from the maid’s hand.

"Let me comb your hair for you."

Shen Wanqing smiled and stopped him.

"No need."

Although Shen Wanqing wore a smile on her face, the disdain in her eyes was quite evident.

Pei Yu felt a stab in his heart once again.

Why did he once think Shen Wanqing would still like him?

This person, clearly beside him, was living each day in torment, only thinking of escape.

Pei Yu took a deep breath and said, "I will properly discipline Pei Lingling."

Shen Wanqing signaled the maid to continue combing her hair and then lowered her head to apply skincare products. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Then she casually said, "Oh."

Pei Yu felt a surge of anger.

But he knew, this was his own doing.

He said, "Wanqing, I know what I did was inconsiderate, please don’t be angry."

Shen Wanqing neither intentionally contradicted Pei Yu nor agreed with him, she just casually said, "Mm."

In the past twenty years, Pei Yu had experienced an unprecedented sense of defeat with Shen Wanqing.

No matter how triumphant he was in his official career, he was always a failure when facing Shen Wanqing.

He had merely kept an empty shell by his side.

Shen Wanqing dressed herself up, still stunningly beautiful, her skin condition almost indistinguishable from a girl in her twenties.

Shen Wanqing said, "Let’s go eat at Shu’er’s place, it’s mealtime."

Pei Qingheng and Pei Lingxuan followed behind Shen Wanqing with Pei Jingyi.

Pei Yu stayed a few steps behind Shen Wanqing.

As they walked, he caught up with Shen Wanqing side by side.

Pei Yu said, "Wanqing, can’t you be a little less indifferent?"

Shen Wanqing stopped walking, then slowly turned around to look at Pei Yu.

There was confusion and lack of understanding in her eyes.

Then she tilted her head slightly, revealing a smile that could be considered friendly.

"I’m not intentionally being aloof, I just don’t know what else we have to say."

After eating a meal at Pei Shu’er’s, Pei Yu left the Prince Zhan Mansion and then went to the Pei Mansion.

The next day, Xiang Hui brought Pei Lingling into the Prince Zhan Mansion once again.

When Pei Shu’er saw the two, she looked at Pei Yu, noticing he was watching Shen Wanqing.

Meanwhile, Shen Wanqing was engrossed in her book...

Pei Shu’er had a look of helplessness; her mother was just short of having the words "Pei Yu is dogshit" engraved on her forehead.

Xiang Hui forced a smile on her face, walked quickly to Shen Wanqing’s side, and held Shen Wanqing’s hand.

"Sister, please don’t hold a grudge against Lingling. After all, you are her mother, you watched her grow up. You know her temperament is a bit domineering, but she means no harm."

Shen Wanqing lifted her eyes from the book and looked at Xiang Hui’s hand holding hers.

A mocking curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"In all these years, I’ve never seen you regard me as anything, speaking to me while holding my hand, this is the first time."

Once these words were out, Xiang Hui’s expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"Sister, what are you saying?"

Shen Wanqing said flatly, "Pei Lingling made me, her legitimate mother, kneel for three hours. If no one asks, I won’t intentionally spread it, but if someone does ask, I won’t hide it for her."

Pei Lingling’s face turned ugly; ever since she entered, she had maintained the demeanor of an Imperial Concubine, looking at Pei Shu’er and Shen Wanqing with hatred.

This was hardly an apology, more like claiming a life.

"Showing you respect because you are my legitimate mother, but if you don’t show respect, I am an Imperial Concubine, and you are just an ordinary minister’s wife without even an official title."

Shen Wanqing looked up at Pei Lingling indifferently. The expression in her eyes made Pei Lingling’s words catch in her throat.

Pei Shu’er furrowed her brows and signaled to those around them.

Everyone retreated to the outside, and even the palace attendants following Pei Lingling were scared away.

Only then did Pei Shu’er look at Pei Lingling.

"Imperial Concubine, such imposing words, outsiders would be compelled to say ’what a heartless ingrate’ upon hearing it."

Pei Lingling said coldly, "What I do is my own business, besides, I knelt to her yesterday, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Pei Shu’er shrugged, "She is your legitimate mother, it’s only right for you to kneel to her, but if she were to kneel to you, it would be heavenly retribution."

Just as Pei Lingling was about to speak again, Pei Yu interjected, "Pei Lingling, kneel to your legitimate mother here, for three days."

Pei Lingling’s face turned sour, "Why?"

Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, daring to even contradict Pei Yu?

Pei Yu’s face turned even darker.

"Why? Because she is your legitimate mother!"

Shen Wanqing closed her book.

"Since the Imperial Concubine is to kneel, then kneel here, but I’ll just do what I need to do."

After saying this, she looked at the weather outside, found it cool and not too sunny, perfect for a stroll.

She couldn’t help but look at Pei Shu’er.

"Shu’er, let’s go out shopping with your mother."

Pei Shu’er was more than willing.

As Shen Wanqing stood up, Pei Yu grabbed her hand.

"Are you satisfied with this way of handling the matter?"

Shen Wanqing looked up at Pei Yu and gave a perfunctory smile.

"If you’re satisfied, then I’m satisfied."

After saying this, she left arm in arm with Pei Shu’er.

Pei Yu took a deep breath, and Xiang Hui stood beside Pei Yu, smiling as she advised.

"Husband, if sister isn’t around, then let it be. I see she doesn’t seem to have any intention of punishing Lingling."

Pei Yu kicked Pei Lingling hard in the back of the knee, making her kneel on the ground.

He pointed a finger at Pei Lingling.

"You will kneel here for me!"

Pei Lingling looked defiant, she looked at her mother and found her mother had no reaction beyond anxiety.

"Mother?"

Xiang Hui gritted her teeth, "How could you be so foolish? I taught you from a young age not to leave traces of your actions. With such a huge blunder, how could Pei Shu’er and Shen Wanqing possibly let it go?!"

"Just kneel and reflect on how stupid you’ve been!"

Pei Lingling was furious, knowing this time she had failed badly, but why punish her repeatedly?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Pei Shu’er and Shen Wanqing left the mansion, with Pei Yu trailing from a distance.

If the two spotted something they liked, Pei Yu would immediately pay for it.

Pei Shu’er didn’t hold back, buying more aggressively than usual.

But later, Shen Wanqing lost her interest in shopping and pointed at Pei’s Restaurant.

"Let’s go, have something to eat."

As soon as they sat down at the restaurant, they overheard someone nearby speaking mysteriously.

"Hey, have you heard? The Great Shang sent envoys, seems like they want to form an alliance with our New Emperor."
