Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 2:

“Cold…cold…hurts…”

"Miss, Tao'er has already gone to get a doctor. Please bear with it for a while."

Jing'er added another pile of bedding to Shen Wanru. Her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. She kept muttering, "God bless you, please wake up soon, Miss."

Shen Wanqing opened her eyes dazedly, her voice hoarse: "Where is this? Is this the underworld?"

Jing'er looked at the dazed young lady and said worriedly, "Young lady, you might be confused due to the fever. You are in your own boudoir, how can you be in the underworld?"

"Shen Wanru, why? Why? I hate you, I hate you!"

"Miss, Miss, please wake up. The doctor said that if you don't wake up, you might... wuwu..."

When Jing'er thought that her young lady would never wake up again, she started crying in anxiety.

“Who’s crying…?”

Shen Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes and saw her personal maid Jing'er who was worried about her.

"Miss, you're awake. It's truly a blessing from heaven. That's great."

Shen Wanqing was still confused. She remembered that she was thrown into a sea of ​​fire and burned to ashes.

Now there is no pain on my face, no burning sensation all over my body, and no excruciating pain.

"I'm alive?"

Shen Wanqing subconsciously touched her face. It was still as smooth as ever, with delicate skin and no cut marks.

Jing'er said excitedly: "Miss, I'm glad you woke up, I'm glad you woke up."

Shen Wanqing: “….”

This scene looks so familiar. Yes, it was that year when my elder sister invited me to go horseback riding and I fell off the horse and fell into the river. The river water in March was freezing cold, and I had a high fever after returning home.

It seems that I have come back to life and returned to the month before the princess' birthday party three years ago.

Now that Heaven had granted her a new lease on life, she would slay her enemies and protect the ones she loved. She vowed to be even more ruthless than those who had done it, to condemn them to the eighteenth level of Hell. She swore that in this life, she would live only for hatred, to slay her enemies.

Calm your mind and try to make yourself look like you just woke up from a serious illness.

"Jing'er."

Jing'er shuddered. The look in the young lady's eyes just now seemed like she wanted to eat someone. It was so scary.

Seeing the young lady return to normal, Jing'er thought she must have seen it wrong. When she heard the young lady calling her, she hurriedly responded, "Young lady, this servant is here. Your forehead is no longer hot. It seems that the fever has subsided. That's great."

Jing'er touched Shen Wanqing's forehead and tucked the quilt in again. She looked outside and whispered, "Miss, in my opinion, the eldest lady isn't as kind to you as she appears to be. When you fell off your horse and into the water today, she was right next to you, but she didn't send someone to rescue you in time. It took her quite some time before she called for help."

When she heard Shen Wanru's name, the hatred in Shen Wanqing's eyes deepened, but it was only for a moment.

In the past, Jing'er would often say bad things to her sister and mother. At that time, she was naive and was used as a stepping stone by her sister, who also punished Jing'er for being talkative many times.

Thinking back to the past, Jing'er was sold out by Shen Wanru because of a small mistake. I trusted my sister even more, and that's why the General's Mansion and I ended up like this.

"Thank you, Jing'er, I know all this now."

These few simple words revealed Shen Wanqing's sincere heart.

Jing'er was a little stunned when she saw the young lady had changed so much.

The young lady and the eldest lady were sisters born from the same mother, both legitimate daughters of the Marquis's family. However, ever since the young lady was born, rumors have been circulating that she was born with an ominous nature, and she has not received the love of the Marquis's wife for many years.

The eldest lady's occasional sweet words made the young lady even happier, so she would not allow anyone to slander her sister.

In the past, if I said something wrong about the young lady, I would be punished. But today's young lady seems to be different from usual.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Looking at the dazed Jing'er, Shen Wanqing was in a good mood. This little girl must have been frightened by her abnormal words.

"No...nothing. Miss heard that the eldest lady was also injured. The lady is very angry and asked you to go to her when you wake up."

Shen Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, filled with bottomless hatred.

"Let's go see her together."

At the beginning, I was going further and further down the wrong path, and the blood feud in the general's mansion was all due to my mother.

Now that God has given her another chance to live her life, she must prevent tragedy from happening.

"Miss, let's go!"

Shen Wanqing and Jing'er knelt in the Wutong courtyard of her mother Su.

At that time, Mrs. Su was still asleep from her nap. The maids guarding the courtyard saw the unfavored Fourth Young Lady and gathered together to gossip about her.

"Fourth Miss is really something! She knew she was an unlucky person, but she still took the eldest lady to go horseback riding in the suburbs, causing her to get injured. Instead of going to apologize to the eldest lady first, she came to Madam first. Could it be that she wants to bring bad luck to Madam?"

"When the eldest daughter was sent back yesterday, Madam was terrified and invited several famous doctors to treat her, fearing that she might develop a persistent illness. I guess this fourth daughter is here to admit her fault and accept punishment."

"In my opinion, it's not necessarily that she came here specifically to admit her mistake. Don't underestimate this usually silent Fourth Miss. She's very thoughtful. Since she's been favored by Madam Bu, she's set her sights on the eldest Miss and is constantly trying to please her."

"The young lady is really good to her, but she wouldn't be so stupid as to hurt the young lady. Isn't that just ruining her own career?"

"You don't understand, do you? The princess' birthday banquet is in a month. It's called a birthday banquet, but it's actually the Queen's selection of a concubine for the Crown Prince. There are competitions in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and more. In the past, the eldest daughter always attended any banquet. But this time, she's injured and can't go." A maid covered her mouth in shock. "You mean... the Crown Prince's selection of a concubine... That's right. A few days ago, I passed by Qingfei Courtyard and heard the sound of music from inside. I think they're preparing for the princess' birthday banquet."

Several maids were whispering, and Shen Wanqing, who was kneeling on the ground, could hear it clearly.

Jing'er couldn't bear to see her young lady suffer such injustice, so she wanted to stand up and argue, but Shen Wanqing grabbed her arm and steady her.

All she had to do now was endure. No wonder. In her previous life, she had been a recluse, invisible within the mansion, yet still plagued by controversy and unpopularity. Even though she was her parents' beloved daughter, she wasn't welcomed. She'd thought it was because she was stupid, lacking her sister's intelligence, that her family disliked her for having the title of legitimate daughter of a marquisate. Now, she finally understood.

She lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them. These maids were just the lowest-ranking servants in her mother's courtyard.

Even the lowest-ranking maid dared to gossip and slander her reputation in front of her, which showed that her status in the mansion was usually lower than that of a maid.

If Shen Wan wants to go to hell, the road ahead will be very difficult.
