Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 18: A Man of the Wind

Shen Wanqing was wearing a light pink silk dress. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were focused on looking downstairs.

"The old man's medical skills can convince anyone, and it is also a blessing for the people." Shen Wanqing also sincerely admired the old man's medical skills. When the blue figure came into view, she unconsciously sneered, "What a pity, Shen Wanru, your hard work will also be in vain."

Shen Wanqing's eyes were determined, and she had her own plans in mind. She chose the right moment to come down from the hotel.

Downstairs, the faces of those waiting in line for the doctor's appointment were filled with anticipation. One middle-aged man, after the old man diagnosed his long-standing illness, was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, his voice trembling with excitement. "Old man, you truly are the reincarnation of Hua Tuo! I've been suffering from this illness for years, and I never thought I'd meet you today!"

The people around him echoed in agreement, and for a moment, praise for the old man's medical skills could not be heard. Everyone gathered around the old man's table, expressing their gratitude in a flurry of voices.

"Everyone, please don't crowd. Come one by one so that the old man can see the patient with peace of mind!" Shen Wanru was working hard to maintain order. Her face was filled with sincerity, which made people feel good about her.

With her maintaining order, everyone lined up in an orderly manner.

At this moment, a cheerful figure rushed out from the crowd and rushed straight towards Shen Wanru. "Sister!" Shen Wanqing ran towards Shen Wanru, holding up the hem of her skirt.

"Why are you here?" In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Wanru is still a good sister who dotes on her younger sister.

Shen Wanqing playfully stuck out her tongue, took Shen Wanru's hand, and deliberately lowered her voice: "I heard that the food in this restaurant is delicious. I came to try it today. By the way, sister, because of the unexplained death of a servant and his son in the mansion, didn't mother not allow you to go out until the matter was investigated?"

Shen Wanru's expression changed slightly, and she hated Shen Wanqing even more in her heart. This fool was really talking about things that were not related to the topic.

Shen Wanqing deliberately lowered her voice, but when the servant and his mother died, she raised her voice so that everyone present could hear it clearly.

As soon as she said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Shen Wanru immediately acted very aggrieved: "I just want to help those in need, mother won't blame me."

"Sister, mother is doing this for your own good. After all, the matter of the servant and his mother has not been fully investigated. Sister, remember that it was your suggestion to detain the servant's mother as well!" Shen Wanqing looked innocent, but inwardly she was delighted. "Shen Wanru, just wait for your arrogant reputation to be shattered."

The people around them heard their conversation clearly and couldn't help but start whispering about it.

I've heard that the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion is well-known and has always been favored by the Hou Master's wife. Moreover, she just did some good deeds. How could she be involved in a life?"

Although she hadn't killed the servant and his son, people's imaginations were rich. They had just heard that the wife of the Marquis had forbidden them from leaving the house. Could she really have some shameful secret?

Shen Wanqing saw everyone's reactions and asked, "Shen Wanru, let's see how you resolve this."

Her eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd and met the eyes of one of them. Shen Wanqing nodded slightly without any expression, then quickly withdrew her gaze.

"Sister, you said that this old man's medical skills are so superb, why not bring him into the house, that would be great." Shen Wanqing said her thoughts unintentionally.

Shen Wanru disagreed: "Sister, don't be so utilitarian. I practice medicine to save lives. How can I be easily used by others?"

"Sister, you are so kind. If we have a miracle doctor in our house, it would be convenient for us to treat headaches and fevers in the future." Shen Wanqing curled her lips.

As the two chatted happily, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Humph, this eldest daughter of the Shen family is just a person who changes her attitude according to the situation. She only stepped forward when the old man healed the child just now. Why was she not there when she was needed before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Shen Wanru with suspicion.

Shen Wanru's expression changed. She had never expected someone to expose her. She seemed very anxious, and her voice changed. "I'm not someone who changes with the wind. I just saw how messy this place is, so I wanted to come over and help."

"Who knows if you came here with a purpose? Maybe you just want to show off in front of the old man and get some benefits." Someone else shouted in the crowd.

"That's right, why weren't we seen before? Now you come out and pretend to be a good person." Everyone echoed.

After hearing everyone's comments, the old man thought about the cause and effect carefully, and his face turned cold when he looked at Shen Wanru.

Shen Wanqing was secretly delighted in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be anxious: "Sister, please explain it to everyone quickly."

Shen Wanru looked at the innocent sister in front of her and always felt that something was different, but at this moment she had no time to think about it. She just wanted to establish a good personality for herself as soon as possible.

"Everyone, please believe me, I, Shen Wanru, am definitely not that kind of person." She said it firmly, but there was a hint of trembling in her voice and a hint of panic in her eyes.

However, the doubts in the crowd did not stop because of her words.

"No one knows whether what you said is true or false."

"Maybe you're just feeling guilty and are making excuses on purpose."

Seeing Shen Wanru in trouble, Shen Wanqing felt a little happy. Shen Wanru, you have always been smooth sailing, enjoying everyone's praise, enjoying your mother's exclusive favor, and even using me as a shield.

Today, I will definitely cut off your path to wealth and prosperity. Without the old man's gift of medicine and promise, let's see whether your future path will be as smooth as in your previous life.

Things were originally developing in a good direction, which was also within her expectations, but Shen Wanqing's sudden appearance ruined Shen Wanru's plans, making her furious.

"I don't know what a servant is. Mother didn't let me go out because she was worried about my injury." Shen Wanru couldn't control the sharpness in her tone at this moment. Her face was no longer warm. She looked at Shen Wanqing with a cold expression. "Sister, you should know best how I fell off the horse a few days ago and was injured. Otherwise, I wouldn't be recuperating in the mansion."

After Shen Wanru finished speaking, the maid beside her raised her hand to support her. "After returning home, the eldest lady was seriously injured, but she ignored her own injuries and immediately gave us instructions. We can't blame the fourth lady. The fourth lady is not good at riding horses, and she insisted on pestering my young lady to ride horses. She even let her horse hit my young lady, causing her to fall off the horse and get injured."

He must have been seriously injured after falling off his horse.

I can't believe that this fourth young lady would harm her own sister like this.

Everyone looked at Shen Wanqing with eyes full of condemnation.
