Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

"There's nothing I can do. Du Zhijie's men were chasing us too fast. I had to hide somewhere and finally managed to get out just as the city gates were closing."

"Okay, I thought something was wrong."

"It's going well. The people are in the car."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone opened the carriage door to check and exclaimed, "Why are there two women?"

"That person who claimed to be the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, if you can't tell her apart, just arrest her together."

"This... then which one is Shen Wanqing?"

The man in black looked at the two people. Because it was already dark, they didn't dare to light too bright torches. With the dim candlelight, they could only see that one of them was wearing blue clothes and the other was wearing light blue clothes.

The man in black said in a deep voice, "The one in blue."

Shen Wanqing tried hard to suppress the tension in her heart at this moment, pretending to breathe steadily, with all kinds of thoughts rushing through her mind.

How could they confuse her with Zhao Yurou? They don’t look alike at all. What are these people looking at?

The voice of the man in black rang out again: "What should we do with this young lady from the Duke's Mansion? The master didn't say to arrest two people."

"Then take Shen Wanqing away and leave that other young lady from the Duke's Mansion here. She's useless anyway."

"It's no use, so just kill her with one sword!"

Shen Wanqing was secretly shocked as she listened to the conversation, thinking about how to deal with it.

Fortunately, another person stopped him. "She's a daughter of a Duke, after all. Her father is a Duke. The matter has become serious. Killing her won't do any good. Leave her here. There's a temple not far away. It all depends on her luck. She might be killed by a wild beast tonight."

"Okay, take Shen Wanqing away first."

He felt someone stepping onto the carriage, and then he pulled up Zhao Yurou next to him.

Zhao Yurou moaned and woke up unexpectedly from the pulling. She saw several men in black in front of her and screamed in fright.

Shen Wanqing secretly said that this was not good.

Zhao Yurou struggled violently, and the man in black shouted, "Don't move, don't scream, or I'll kill you..."

"Who are you? Are you crazy? How dare you kidnap me? Do you know who I am? I am the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. My father will not let you go." Zhao Yurou screamed and shouted, "Let me go quickly, otherwise you will die without a burial place..."

A knife came down and Zhao Yurou was silent, as if she had been knocked unconscious.

"What if she makes such a fuss and leads people away?" the man who attacked said in a deep voice.

"Okay, quickly leave this in the carriage, we should leave."

There were some soft rustling sounds outside, and then someone walked into the carriage again.

Shen Wanqing felt herself being lifted up horizontally and then carefully placed on the grass to the side. She tried to squint her eyes to see what was going on, but her hair covered her face, so she had to close her eyes and continue to pretend not to wake up.

Then the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling over the ground was heard around her. Only when the sound became farther and farther away did Shen Wanqing dare to secretly open her eyes again.

But she did not rush to move. Instead, she lay there for a while, carefully observing any movement around her. After making sure that there was no one around, she immediately got up and found that the rope on her hand had also loosened.

It was pitch black all around, and from afar one could see the temple that the man in black had mentioned, flickering dimly in the pitch-black night.

Shen Wanqing felt a little conflicted.

If those men in black find out that they have caught the wrong person, they will inevitably turn around to look for her. If they see that she is not here, they will most likely go to the temple.

But if you don't go to the temple, if there really are wild beasts in the mountains at night, it will be no joke.

After thinking about it, they decided to head towards the temple because at least they would have to wait until dawn to realize that they had made a mistake.

She felt a little weak and it was very difficult for her to walk in the dark forest. She had to pay attention to any noise behind her at all times. She didn't know how long she walked before she arrived exhausted not far from the temple.

In case the men in black came looking for her, she did not rush to ask the monks for help. Instead, she secretly found an empty room to hide in under the cover of night and thought about what to do next.

In fact, her worries were right. The men in black realized that they had made a mistake earlier than she thought.

When they arrived, they saw that Shen Wanqing was gone, so they had to go to the temple, pretending to be from the Duke's Mansion, and ask if there was anyone who could take in a woman.

The monks asked around and said they hadn't seen any lone young lady.

"How could you get the wrong person? If you can't find him, then you'll be punished!"

"They look somewhat alike, and the colors of their clothes are so similar, I must have remembered it wrongly."

"You...ah..."

They are obviously two unrelated people, how could they be mistaken?

The man in black gritted his teeth but could do nothing but search around the temple. He never expected that Shen Wanqing was hiding in a room in the temple at this moment.

Naturally, until dawn, the group still hadn't found Shen Wanqing, and even began to suspect that she had been taken away by a wild beast, but they didn't find any bloodstains or pieces of clothing.

They had no other choice. Fearing that they would be exposed sooner or later if they delayed any further, they could only abandon Zhao Yurou near the temple and returned empty-handed.

In Kyoto, the lights in the Shogun's Mansion were on all night.

Du Zhijie's face was grim: "It's been a whole night, and you still haven't found the person?"

The guard lowered his head and half-knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead: "General, we have found traces in the southern suburbs of Beijing."

"Prepare the horse and take me there."

"Yes."

......

As the sky gradually brightened, another carriage headed towards the southern suburbs of Beijing.

Su was sitting in the carriage, her excitement was hard to contain. She couldn't help shedding tears at the thought of seeing her daughter whom she had been thinking about day and night.

Nanny Zhu held her hand soothingly: "Madam, you will be able to see the eldest lady later."

Su nodded, closed her eyes, and thought about the suffering of these days. She felt that everything had hope.

When the two arrived at the temple, they asked the monk to deliver a message and waited in the room.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Nanny Zhu opened the door and saw Shen Wanru in front of her.

Shen Wanru smiled slightly: "I wonder if my mother is in there?"

Nanny Zhu nodded and made room for Shen Wanru.

Su looked intently as a person slowly walked out from behind Nanny Zhu. It was Shen Wanru.

When mother and daughter met, both of them had tears in their eyes.

"Ruru..." Su's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were red.

Shen Wanru took a quick step forward and threw herself into Su's arms: "Mother, I'm here to see you."

Su patted Shen Wanru's back and said in a choked voice, "How are you doing in Nanling? I've been worried about you lately, worried that you haven't been eating or sleeping well."

Shen Wanru cried for a while in Su's arms, then raised her head and pretended to be concerned about Shen Wanqing and said, "Mother, is Fourth Sister okay? I heard that the General's Mansion has proposed marriage?"
