Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 119 Imprisoned in a Dark Prison

In the secret cellar of the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Wanru was tied to a pillar, her body covered in blood from being whipped, and she had fainted.

When the people in the dark cell saw someone coming, they poured a basin of cold salt water on Shen Wanru. Shen Wanru screamed and woke up.

"Third sister, I know I deserve to die. Please kill me with one sword." Shen Wanru pleaded with her dying breath.

Shen Wanzhu sneered. If she were in her hands today, would she let her go? Of course not. She would only use means a thousand times more cruel to deal with her.

"Let's go, lock this place up and leave her alone."

Shen Wanru's hands and feet were tied up. Seeing this, she shouted anxiously, "Third sister, no matter what, we are sisters. If you let me go today, I will definitely repay you in the future. Please, third sister!"

But Shen Wanzhu left without looking back, supported by the maid. In the dark dungeon, only her crying and heart-wrenching screams could be heard.

How could she be tortured to death by this bitch? She still had a lot of things to do, which made Shen Wanru's heart collapse.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Wanru faintly heard a voice. He raised his head with all his strength and saw Shen Wanqing in front of him. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "Fourth sister, are you here to save me?"

Shen Wanqing looked at the face in front of her. It was obviously somewhat similar to her own. Why was she so cruel? Everything that happened today was her own fault.

"Fourth sister! You are here, please save me, fourth sister!" Shen Wanru shouted anxiously.

"If you just ask Third Sister to let me go, I will leave Kyoto and return to Nanshan to guard the imperial mausoleum. I will never come back again."

Shen Wanqing looked at Shen Wanru and said, "I want to ask you, did you ever truly treat me as your sister, a sister from the same mother?"

"Of course, Fourth Sister, I admit that I framed you several times in order to gain more of Mother's favor, but those were just little girl tricks. Now I..."

Shen Wanru burst into tears, her eyes full of regret: "Please believe me, please save me."

Shen Wanqing's hands tightened little by little, and her sharp nails pinched her palms until they bled, but she seemed unaware of it. She looked at him coldly. It was really ridiculous. If she really had her sister in her heart, she would have teamed up with the prince to kill the entire general's mansion in the previous life, and she would have died tragically in her hands!

She picked up the red-hot iron and pressed it directly on Shen Wanru's heart. Seeing her screaming in pain and fainting, and smelling the smell of burning in the air, she put down the iron, gasping for breath, and walked out of the dungeon.

Although Shen Wanqing punished Shen Wanru personally, she did not feel happy at all. The price she paid in her previous life was too high, and this little punishment was just a tickle to Shen Wanru.

Shen Wanzhu originally had a lot of things to ask Shen Wanqing, but things had come to this point. In the end, because of her inconvenience in walking, she decided to wait until her injuries healed before going to see her.

The Marquis' Mansion fell silent. Su had wanted to rescue Shen Wanru, but her body was not strong enough. After the commotion last night, she lay on the bed, feeling powerless.

Recently, Shen Yunlan has not returned to the mansion and has been staying with his concubine every night. Although Su is angry about this, she can do nothing about it.

Su's condition has been very bad these days. Sometimes she said that she had seen Shen Wanru, and sometimes she said that Shen Wanru was in Nanshan accompanying the prince to guard the imperial tomb.

Only Nanny Zhu was still dedicated and stayed by her side.

As for what happened to Shen Wanru, perhaps only Shen Wanzhu knows.

Shen Wanzhu rested for a long time before she recovered, and then sent her maid Xiaoju to Qingfeiyuan.

Xiaoju knelt on the ground: "Fourth Miss, Third Miss wants to ask you, is it okay for Shen Wanru to be punished in any way she wants?"

Shen Wanbing nodded gently: "Let your young lady take good care of herself first. Shen Wanru is a criminal now, so she can punish her however she wants."

Xiaoju's eyes were red, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Fourth Miss. I will definitely pass on the message to Third Miss."

After saying that, she wiped her eyes and left.

Shen Wanqing looked at her back and thought that she had originally planned to let Shen Wanzhu take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the blame for what she had done before, but now, Shen Wanru came to her door herself.

If Shen Wanzhu really had a chronic illness and became lame, Shen Wanru would be in trouble because of this.

She sighed lightly, too lazy to care about these things anymore, and raised her hand to write down the details before and after the kidnapping.

She had to think carefully about who was going to kidnap her this time to take precautions.

Thinking carefully about what happened, many things are inexplicable.

The most important thing is, why did she have to be tied up?

Shen Wanqing frowned slightly.

Jing'er walked in and picked the wick in the oil lamp, making the candlelight brighter. Then she said softly, "Miss, General Du sent a message asking you to come to his house tomorrow to discuss things. It's late now, so please watch your eyes and go to bed early."

Shen Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded. She thought that she would have a better idea after discussing it with Du Zhijie tomorrow.

So she wrote down a few more details, making sure she hadn't missed anything, and then went to bed.

Early the next morning, Shen Wanqing went directly to the general's mansion.

The old housekeeper was very excited when he saw her: "Miss Shen, you are here. When we heard that something happened to you, we were all scared. The young general was so worried that he didn't sleep all night. Fortunately, Miss Shen, you are safe."

Shen Wanqing smiled a little embarrassedly.

The young guard beside him muttered to himself, "The young general looks like he wants to kill someone, he really scared me."

The old butler turned around and glared at him, then smiled and took Shen Wanqing to Du Zhijie's study, and then sent someone to bring some freshly made snacks.

The young guards were all stunned. Not to mention that the major general's study was not accessible to ordinary people, but he, who was so obsessed with mysophobia, actually allowed Miss Shen to eat snacks in the study.

However, Shen Wanqing felt something was not right, so she put the snacks aside and talked about the incident with Du Zhijie.

"Are you saying that the accent of the person who kidnapped you doesn't sound like someone from Kyoto?" Du Zhijie asked.

Shen Wanqing nodded, took out what she had written last night, and then thought carefully about what had happened. She couldn't help but frown: "Some things are just too coincidental. I always feel that one of them seems to know me."

"You suspect that someone deliberately confused you with Zhenyang and then saved you. Who could it be?" Shen Wanqing frowned. He also felt that the matter was too coincidental.

Since they wanted to capture Shen Wanqing, why would they capture Zhao Yurou? Even though blue and cyan are similar, it's not like they made a mistake.

Shen Wanqing had a vague idea in her mind, but she had no evidence, so she could only shake her head and ask, "Are those people from Ziluo Country?"
