Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 112: Slap in the face

The Zi Luo Kingdom envoy sat at the table, looking at Shen Wanru sharply: "Who are you? How dare you come here so rashly?"

Shen Wanru plopped down on her knees. "Your Excellency, I am the Crown Prince's man. He is currently trapped in the Imperial Mausoleum, and he has sent me to contact you."

The messenger frowned. "Prince? What does he want from me?"

Shen Wanru hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes to receive your country's support to help him ascend the throne smoothly. He will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

The messenger pondered for a moment: "This matter is of great importance. I need to consider it."

Now they are worried that they have no bargaining chips to negotiate with the second prince, so this is very good.

The eldest prince Fan Yunfei had just heard every word. There were many princes in their Zi Luo country. If he wanted to ascend the throne, it would not be impossible for him to make good plans with the deposed prince. The world would be his in the future. However, if Yuwen Ze could ascend the throne smoothly, half of the vast land would be given to him. How could he agree to it?

So he discussed with the several envoys he brought with him and made some detailed plans.

After discussing it among themselves, Shen Wanru used the remaining money she had to buy a dress that was fairly decent.

But after everything was packed, she suddenly felt a little timid and didn't know how to go back and face her parents.

After thinking of a good excuse, Shen Wanru finally rented an inconspicuous carriage and hired a maid. When she arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, Shen Wanru did not get off the carriage, but asked the maid to knock on the door of the Marquis's Mansion.

The servant inside opened the door and saw that it was a maid she didn't recognize. The little girl was also smart. She handed in a letter and turned back to the carriage!

When the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the butler was sharp-eyed enough to see that it was Shen Wanru sitting inside. He was slightly surprised, but did not say anything.

Thinking about the scandal that happened at the wedding, it has been so long in the blink of an eye.

Shen Wanqing knew that the housekeeper had discovered her, so it was a good thing. She asked the little maid to turn the carriage around and drive back to a remote courtyard where she was temporarily staying. She didn't need to show up yet. She really wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion, but now was not the time.

After a while, a little maid from the Hou Mansion came out and entered the dilapidated courtyard in just a cup of tea.

"Qin'er? By the way, why hasn't mother come to see me yet?"

The person who came was the maid from Hou Mansion, who was with Shen Wanru before.

Shen Wanru felt upset. She had finally returned home, but her mother and father didn't even show up. They were blaming her. Could it be that they didn't want to see her?

"To answer the eldest lady's question, the lady has been thinking about you a lot lately, but she's not feeling well. She just finished her meal and seems tired and is resting. The master is out, and the fourth lady happened to be shopping in West Street, so they're not at home."

After hearing Qin'er's words, Shen Wanru felt a little better.

After Qin'er came to see her, she returned to the Hou Mansion quietly.

Shen Wanqing still doesn't know what's happening in the Marquis' Mansion.

Today was arranged by the Second Prince. He led many noble ladies and young masters to the racecourse to race horses together with the princess and prince of Zi Luo Kingdom.

Zhao Yurou, who hadn't been seen for a long time, also came. She was leading a bay horse and wearing a blue riding suit. She looked at Shen Wanqing with disdain: "Oh, Fourth Miss Shen, you're here too. Humph, don't think that just because you're good at polo, you can come here to compete in horses. There's no chance here like last time. There's no one to help you. Let's see how you make a fool of yourself today."

It was all because of her that her beloved grandmother locked herself up for a long time and even hired a nanny to teach her.

Today I finally have another chance, and I must ridicule Shen Wanqing.

Shen Wanqing was leading a brown horse. She was wearing a plain green riding suit today and had a simple bun on her head, but her face looked even more delicate and elegant. Her snow-white and delicate skin was as smooth as a peeled egg, which made Zhao Yurou very jealous.

Facing the provocation from Zhao Yurou of the Duke's Mansion, Shen Wanqing did not say anything, but jumped onto the horse with a beautiful and neat move. Her heroic posture attracted many people to look over, and they slapped Zhao Yurou in the face with their actions.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er, who was standing by, exclaimed, "Fourth sister, you are so handsome."

Her eyes were full of envy. She had twisted her ankle a few days ago and now she could only stand by and watch.

Shen Wanqing smiled at her and said, "This is what the teacher I hired taught me when I was bored at home."

Because in the previous life, he had Du Zhijie teach him how to ride a horse, and the two of them had made a lot of jokes.

Princess Suyun rode over on horseback, looking at Shen Wanqing provocatively: "Miss Zhao, Miss Shen, how about we have a horse race between women?"

Shen Wanqing's expression remained unchanged. She was about to refuse, but Zhao Yurou spoke directly: "Okay, isn't the purpose of coming to the racecourse to race horses?"

Princess Suyun smiled brightly: "Miss Zhao is truly worthy of being a noble lady."

After saying that, he rode his horse and went to ask other people without caring whether Shen Wanqing agreed or not.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er frowned with some worry: "Fourth sister, you better be careful."

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Shen Wanqing nodded to her and rode the horse slowly to the lawn of the racecourse.

After a while, Suyun called six or seven noble ladies. When the men over there saw that they were going to race for a few laps, they all came over to watch with great interest.

Du Zhijie had something to discuss with the second prince Yuwen Yi, so he arrived a little late. He saw the light green figure on the field from a distance.

Seeing him coming, Fan Yunfei, the second prince of Ziluo Kingdom, came over to greet him with a smile: "General Du, you are here too. Why don't we have a competition later?"

Du Zhijie nodded, but did not say anything. He just focused on watching the situation on the field.

Everyone over there was ready. With a wave of the servants' hands, the ladies galloped out on their horses, which was truly a unique sight.

The one leading the way was Princess Suyun in her red riding uniform. In just a moment, she had left all the other noble ladies behind by a meter or two.

Fan Yunfei laughed heartily. "I'm so sorry. The women of our Zi Luo Country learn horseback riding and archery from a young age, instead of just staying in their rooms doing needlework. It looks like Su Yun'er is destined to win."

The second prince on the side had a rather unhappy expression on his face, but that was the fact. Suyun's horse had always been in the front, and he couldn't refute it. He could only look at Du Zhijie next to him, but saw that Du Zhijie frowned and looked at the field, not caring what they were saying at all.

This racecourse is very large and semi-open. There is a dense forest over there. The horse racing route has to go around the forest and come back. There is a section where you can't see anyone.

After waiting for a while, Su Yunhonghuo's figure appeared at the other end of the woods, running straight to the finish line.
