Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Besides, she was in such a state now and had no carriage. Could she ride back on horseback and let everyone see her in such a dirty and miserable state? She didn't want that.

When we get to the temple, we can wash up and have some vegetarian food and snacks. We are so hungry.

Du Zhijie ignored Zhao Yurou. Since she had been found anyway, he didn't care where she was going. Now he just wanted to find Shen Wanqing as soon as possible.

So Du Zhijie and Zhao Yurou arrived at the temple one after another.

When Du Zhijie heard the monk say that someone from the Duke's Mansion had come to look for a young lady who was alone, but left after not finding her in the temple, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

It is impossible for the people from the Duke's Mansion to find this place so quickly overnight. The only explanation is that the group of people in black were impersonating them.

In this case, Shen Wanqing is very likely to have escaped and should be near this temple.

Thinking of this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hope flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Qing'er was probably still alive, and he would definitely find her.

Zhao Yurou, who was already acting like a young lady, instructed the monks, "Go prepare a room for me, and prepare some snacks. Then boil some water for me to use in the bath. Oh, and do you have any clean clothes?"

"Ms. Zhao, please come this way. I'll find someone to help you arrange it now."

It was the first time that such a small temple received so many distinguished guests at once. When the monks heard that one was a daughter of a duke and the other was a general, they were all terrified and became busy.

At this moment, Shen Wanqing also discovered that someone was walking towards the room where she was. Unsure of the situation, she had to open the window and climb out, hiding under the window and thinking of a solution.

Fortunately, there was a wall behind the window with a gap in the middle as wide as a person, which was just enough for her to hide there without being discovered.

A monk opened the door, and someone else brought in a wooden bucket and hot water. After a while, Zhao Yurou's sharp voice was heard.

Shen Wanqing was stunned when she heard the voice and looked inside through the window quietly.

It turned out to be Zhao Yurou. This temple is small and there are not many side rooms. This should be the place for female relatives to rest. I guess they arranged it here because they thought that only Su was nearby.

Su and Shen Wanru next door heard the noise and fell silent. Nanny Zhu quietly slipped out to inquire about the situation and found out that it was a young lady from the Duke's Mansion who had arrived.

The most important thing is that General Du is also here, and I heard that he is looking for a young lady.

Nanny Zhu reflexively thought of Shen Wanqing.

So she quickly went to tell Su about the situation. Shen Wanru frowned when she heard it: "Why would General Du come here in person to look for someone?"

"Perhaps it's because the Fourth Young Miss and the Young Miss from the Duke's Mansion disappeared together. Otherwise, Du Zhijie wouldn't have gone to such great lengths just to find Shen Wanqing.

"Su analyzed: "In this case, we should return home immediately. We must hurry back before Shen Wanqing returns and don't let her find out anything."

Shen Wanru nodded. Since Du Zhijie was here, they might be able to find the person soon.

So, the few of them packed up their things and immediately got on the carriage to go home.

Shen Wanqing hid at the back of the house. Because they all lowered their voices, she couldn't hear what they said. She just felt that they all opened the door and left.

So she made a quick decision and climbed back in through the window.

Zhao Yurou was still eating. Seeing her, she screamed in shock: "Shen Wanqing! You, why are you here!"

"I escaped by chance, and I've been hiding in my room." She said, leaning against the door and listening to the noise outside: "The man in black is not here, right?"

Zhao Yurou shook her head: "I was rescued by General Du's men. We followed him to this temple and we are now safe."

Perhaps because they had experienced these thrilling events together, Zhao Yurou no longer had the heart to embarrass Shen Wanqing. Seeing that her face was as pale as paper and her body was even dirtier than hers, her legs and feet were covered in mud, and her clothes were torn, she couldn't help but ask, "How did you escape? Are you okay?"

Shen Wanqing smiled faintly and shook her head. When she heard that Du Zhijie was coming, she finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart.

Someone outside heard Zhao Yurou's scream and asked about her situation through the door.

Shen Wanqing opened the door and walked out. The monk saw a strange girl coming out of the house. She was dirty but her face was beautiful. He was stunned for a moment: "Miss, you, you..."

When Du Zhijie heard the news and rushed over, he saw Shen Wanqing standing in the yard, looking at him with a smile.

"Qing'er!" Du Zhijie strode forward and hugged Shen Wanqing directly in his arms. Feeling the girl's warm body temperature in his arms, his voice trembled slightly: "I've been looking for you."

Shen Wanqing's face flushed instantly. Before she could say anything, Du Zhijie carefully let her go. Seeing that she was covered in scratches, his eyes were red with heartache: "You are injured. How did you escape? Did those damned people hurt you?"

"I rowed it in the woods last night when I escaped. I'm fine."

Du Zhijie looked at Shen Wanqing as if he were looking at a treasure that had been lost and found. He sent someone to bring a set of clothes and said, "I specially prepared them when I came to see you. It's just in case you need to change into clean clothes. Once you're changed, we'll go back. I'll have the maid from the Imperial Hospital come to examine you and apply medicine. We can discuss other matters later. Don't worry, I won't let those people go."

Shen Wanqing looked at him with amusement as he kept talking. A warm feeling came over her heart. She went downstairs to change her clothes, and they were all her size.

When Zhao Yurou heard that Du Zhijie was leaving, she naturally didn't even bother to take a shower. She just ate something and followed him.

She saw Shen Wanqing's freshly changed skirt and then saw the prepared carriage. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Why didn't she get on the carriage and change her skirt? Damn it!

But she naturally didn't dare to argue, so she could only get on the carriage and go back to Kyoto with Shen Wanqing.

Su and her group returned to the Hou Mansion first. In order not to alert the enemy, Su took Shen Wanru and sneaked in from the back. Then she sent someone to inform Zhang that the Hou Fu's wife wanted to discuss important matters with the third young lady, and only the third young lady was allowed to go alone.

Although Zhang was confused, Zhu'er had always been well-behaved and had little contact with the second house. She wondered what was going on today and what Su was trying to do.

Her daughter, Zhang, is the consort of the current Second Prince, and her status is certainly not inferior to that of Su, but the mistress of the house is still Su.

Shen Wanzhu comforted Zhang with a few words. Although she was puzzled, she thought it would be a good idea to go to the second house to take a look. At least she was very worried about Shen Wanqing. If she could find out whether Shen Wanqing was safe, she would have nothing to be afraid of. They were all in the Hou Mansion, and she didn't believe that Su would eat her again.
