Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

"It hurts! It hurts!" The screams were heartbreaking.

Shen Wanqing's back was a bloody mess from being whipped, with not a single spot left unharmed. Her clothes were stained with blood, a bright red that was shocking to the eyes.

She looked unwillingly at this elder sister who had always protected her, pretended to be kind and harmless, and only cared about her younger sister.

Gritting his teeth, he asked with all his strength, "Why, why do you treat me like this?"

"Ha...ha...you actually asked me why? Mother was right, you are an idiot, a fool."

Shen Wanru's voice was very harsh, and the look she gave Shen Wanqing was full of hatred.

"Mother, no, mother wouldn't say such a thing."

Shen Wanqing didn't believe it. Although her mother had never been very close to her, she was still her child after ten months of pregnancy. Even a tiger mother wouldn't eat her own cubs...

Shen Wanru looked at Shen Wanqing as if she were a fool. "Don't you know that in a family of nobles in the capital, under the feet of the emperor, you are a notorious person, a waste who can't bring honor to the family and can't make your parents proud? What's wrong with your parents using you as a stepping stone for me?"

At that moment, Shen Wanqing understood. She was born into an unlucky family, originally to pave the way for her elder sister. She was called a waste, a moralless, talentless daughter of a Kyoto marquis, all for the sake of her elder sister's reputation.

Shen Wanru stepped forward, grabbed her neck, and sneered, "We are both about to die. As sisters, I will let you die with understanding."

Shen Wanru's fingertips traced Shen Wanqing's delicate cheek, like the streaking of a venomous snake, a nauseating sensation. Shen Wanru coldly regarded her sister, born from the same mother. She was incredibly beautiful, but her father had been injured at birth, leaving her mother with a difficult birth. Consequently, her mother was unable to bear a legitimate son, and her father took in a new woman, resulting in a bastard son. Therefore, she was a calamity.

"Your face is really unpleasant!"

With a horrifying sound of skin and flesh ripping apart, the torn skin dangled in his hand like a tattered piece of cloth, with wisps of flesh still hanging from it.

Shen Wanru's skin, as thin as a cicada's wing, was torn off, but she didn't feel any pain.

"It's so beautiful, what a pity."

Shen Wanru was puzzled and horrified. She didn't notice the surprised looks of the men, nor the jealous look of Shen Wanru.

Shen Wanru hated that exquisite, fairy-like face, hated the man's obsessed eyes, and even more hated this face that was more beautiful than hers.

He clenched the dagger in his hand and slashed it towards Shen Wanqing's face.

Shen Wanqing did not dodge, and heart-piercing pain swept through her whole body.

"Ah! Ah!"

Shen Wanqing tried to break free from her grip, but she had been tortured to the point of dying, with only a weak breath left.

The men felt sorry when they saw that the person who was so beautiful just now was now a bloody mess, neither human nor ghost.

After Shen Wanru finished venting her anger, she took a deep breath and said, "So what if she's beautiful? So what if she's the daughter of a marquis? She's still just a worthless bastard who has no father or mother to love her."

Shen Wanru stroked her face which was bleeding and looked at the culprit with forgiveness.

"I am the general's wife. If the general knows that you killed me, do you think you can escape unscathed?"

"Hahaha..." Shen Wanru laughed grimly after hearing this.

"You are truly a fool in the eyes of the world, so foolish it's ridiculous. Do you think anyone will come to save you, or will your general come to save you?"

After saying that, Shen Wanru looked down at her with the attitude of a winner.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The entire general's family was executed, including the elderly, the weak, women, and children. The blood flowed like a river. Your general husband is really infatuated with you. Even when he was pierced by thousands of arrows, he still asked me to save you. Tell me, isn't it ridiculous?"

"You are just a princess, how dare you? Aren't you afraid that the prince will find out?"

Shen Wanru looked at her like an idiot: "Do you think the prince is unaware of all this? All of this was planned by the prince."

"Why, why? I am not a threat to you if I marry into the General's Mansion. General Du is loyal to the court, why would he attack the General's Mansion?"

Shen Wanru suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Crown Prince, you see she still doesn't believe it."

"Shen Wanqing, if you die today, consider it as a way to fulfill your sister's wish! After all, you are sisters. As the Crown Princess and the future Queen who will rule the country, you cannot have a stain on her."

The man whom she once regarded as a family member suddenly appeared, but the words he said were like a cold knife, piercing her heart.

"Your Highness, my death is not a pity, but what are the crimes of the people in the General's Mansion? What crimes have they committed?"

Shen Wanqing felt that she had misheard because of the pain. How could the General's Mansion commit treason? How could a brave man like Du Zhijie be pierced by thousands of arrows?

"You still don't understand. I am the Crown Prince, but ascending the supreme throne requires more than just the throne; real power is also a prerequisite. If you want to blame someone, blame your husband, the General, for not handing over his military power and disobeying me."

Shen Wanqing really couldn't believe her ears. The general's mansion, which was bustling with activity yesterday, was now a river of blood.

"No, no, you must be deceiving me. Have you forgotten that three generations of General Du's family have made great contributions to the Tian army, and General Du has single-handedly stabilized the border for many years. How could you..."

Yu Wen Ze pursed his lips tightly, his eyes as cold as ice.

Shen Wanqing climbed forward, grabbed his clothes, and begged: "Please, Crown Prince, please remember our past relationship and leave the young son, women and children in the General's Mansion."

"Heh... now I want to stay, but they have also become souls under the knife..."

Before Shen Wanru could finish her words, Shen Wanqing interrupted her: "You say the general is guilty of treason, do you have any evidence? Without evidence, you are just taking human life lightly."

"Oh, I remember now. You said it was evidence, but you handed it to me personally. Speaking of which, as the eldest sister, I really want to thank you for helping His Highness so much." Shen Wanru leaned in the prince's arms and smiled softly with her hands covering her lips.

Shen Wanqing looked at Shen Wanru in disbelief, "I trusted you so much, and you actually plotted against me."

Shen Wanru looked at her coldly without saying a word, but gently held Yu Wenze's hand: "Your Highness, it's cold here, let's go back to the palace."

Shen Wanqing was unwilling to give in. She shouted at the background of Shen Wanru and Yu Wenze: "Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

All she got in response was blank silence and piercing pain.

She knelt on the ground dejectedly, crying heartbreakingly: "Brother Zhijie, it is me who hurt you in the end. You trusted me so much, I am not worthy..."

She suddenly raised her head and roared at the ruthless figure: "I hate you. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go. You will get your retribution in the end."

"Let's do it." After saying this, Shen Wanru and Yu Wen Ze left together.

There was resentment and overwhelming hatred in Shen Wanqing's eyes.

Several big men threw her into the fire. The pain from the fire burned her skin all over her body. The pain spread to every nerve in her body until she turned into ashes in the sea of ​​fire.
