Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Although Shen Yunlan was extremely reluctant, he finally gritted his teeth and accepted the engagement letter handed over by the old general. "General, what are you talking about? This is my daughter's wedding, and as a father, I am naturally happy."

"That's great." General Du smiled, his eyes revealing an ambiguous meaning.

Whether Shen Yunlan was happy or not was none of his business. After all, the betrothal gifts had been handed down today, and General Du was genuinely happy. He had the list of betrothal gifts read aloud, and as each item was read, they carried it in, heading straight to the backyard.

Su looked at the valuable betrothal gifts and initially thought that her daughter, Ru'er, would no longer suffer in the future. With these gifts, she could help support the Crown Prince and Shen Wanru. But then she realized something was amiss. Regardless of her own frail body, she hurried forward and said, "Where are you taking these things? Just leave them here first. We'll clean up after you."

Du Zhijie bowed to her and said indifferently, "This is my betrothal gift to Qing'er, so it should naturally be carried to Qingfei Courtyard. Madam is not feeling well and needs to rest. It's better to let Qing'er count this kind of laborious task herself, so Madam won't have to worry about it."

She is willing to help with this kind of thing even if she is not feeling well.

Su almost objected, but with so many people watching, she managed to control her emotions. She turned around and pulled the two Shen Wanqings, motioning them to say a few words.

"Thank you, General." Shen Wanqing bowed, a smile on her lips, "General, you are very thoughtful."

What, what was she saying?

Su stood aside and stamped her feet in anger. She thought Shen Wanqing didn't understand what she meant, so she kept winking at her, but she just lowered her head shyly and didn't see Su's eyes at all.

The ceremonial officer in the general's mansion was still reading out the list. The further he listened to the end, the more priceless it seemed. Su was so anxious that she could only stare blankly.

She was busy until the evening, and only after sending off the betrothal guests from the General's Mansion did Su return to the courtyard to rest. However, the thought of Shen Wanqing pretending to be a fool made her furious. This anger made her cough violently again, as if she wanted to cough out everything inside. She seemed to have exerted all her strength, and finally, Nanny Zhu helped her to the bed to rest.

"Tell me, what's going on with Qing'er today? The betrothal gift from the General's Mansion should have belonged to the Marquis' Mansion. When did it become hers alone? I, the mistress of the house, am still here. How could they go beyond my control?"

The more Su thought about it, the angrier she became. After saying this, she started coughing violently again.

Nanny Zhu quickly brought tea and fed it to Su, gently patting her back to calm her down. "Madam, your health is not good right now. General Du is right. You should get more rest and don't think about other things. The most important thing is to take care of yourself first."

"But...but what about my Ru'er? She's still suffering there. You've watched her grow up since she was a child. How could she have ever suffered any hardship?"

When Su thought of Shen Wanru, tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Nanny Zhu understood what was going on. As a servant, she couldn't do anything to help at this moment, so she could only keep comforting her.

"Madam, the eldest daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate after all. No matter what the Crown Prince does, she has the support of this huge Marquisate, so I don't think she will suffer too much."

"I hope so. If you have time, bring some things and visit quietly, I'll be relieved."

Su said a few more worried words, and perhaps because she was too tired, she fell asleep.

She looked at the sleeping Su and murmured, "The emperor is too quiet and secluded. No outsiders are allowed to visit him. The lady is really sick and confused."

Nanny Zhu shook her head, covered Su with the quilt, and carefully retreated. She had been with Su for half her life, so her heart was naturally on the same line with Su, but she had no choice but to disobey the order she gave today.

After the General's Mansion sent the betrothal gift, the two families officially set the wedding date. During this time, Shen Wanqing could only wait for her marriage with peace of mind.

Having said that, she has no free time for the time being.

The betrothal gifts that Du Zhijie brought filled up the entire yard. Her house was no longer able to hold them all. The master and servants worked for several days to pack everything up.

All kinds of dried fruits, cakes and other food were sent to the kitchen. Some silks, satins, gold and silver jewelry were also picked out and sent to Su, just as a daughter's filial piety.

In addition, all his gold and silver jewelry were recorded in detail and carried into the storehouse in the mansion for storage.

She had registered all these things, and would carry them all into the general's mansion as dowry on her wedding day. She was not afraid that Su would keep them. After all, if a quarrel broke out, the huge mansion could not afford to lose that person.

As for the many rare treasures, although they were not registered on the gift list, Du Zhijie left her a booklet to register these things.

All these things were kept in Shen Wanqing's own Qingfeiyuan, and were included in the dowry list when she got married.

"Miss, you are so lucky. Your husband has prepared all the betrothal gifts and dowry." Jing'er counted the things with a happy look on her face.

The young lady has finally met a good husband.

Tao'er nodded in agreement, "Uncle is indeed worried, but the young lady also has some assets. This is the account book of Zuimenglou."

She patted the account book in her arms and handed it to Shen Wanqing happily, saying, "I heard from the owner of the restaurant that business is booming, especially the new dishes proposed by the young lady, which are in great demand."

"Really?" Shen Wanqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile, then lowered her head to look through the account book.

Zuimenglou’s business is really good. They have never heard of the dishes and teas there. For example, hamburgers, French fries, milk tea, etc., they taste good and have unique names.

After the settlement, although Zuimenglou had not been open for long, it had already made a lot of money. In such a short time, it had made more than two thousand taels!

After counting the properties, she went out shopping with a few maids.

The streets were bustling with people. Shen Wanqing, who had rarely seen such a sight, brought a few maids to look around and touch things. She was so happy, just like the saying goes that when people are happy, they feel refreshed.

Several maids were also happy for Shen Wanqing. It had been a long time since their young lady had come out to stroll freely like this. They liked such an energetic young lady.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the front, attracting everyone's attention, which also interrupted Shen Wanqing who was in high spirits.

Shen Wanqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of people dressed in strange clothes slowly approaching. Their clothes were brightly colored and their accessories were gorgeous and unique, forming a sharp contrast with the people in Kyoto.

Shen Wanqing's heart trembled, realizing that it was a foreign envoy visiting. At this time, their arrival was not good.
