Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 20 Obtaining the Pill

Shen Wanqing seemed to be sabotaging her today, and Shen Wanru was still thinking about how to respond.

Doctor Chen's face darkened. "Miss Su, your reaction doesn't seem like someone with a leg injury."

Shen Wanru frantically explained, "Doctor, I was hit so hard by the sudden collision just now that it hurt so much that I lost my composure."

Doctor Chen said coldly, "Miss Su, please stop quibbling. I've been practicing medicine for many years and I can see this. Your leg isn't injured, but you're lying about it. What's your intention?"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and started to criticize.

"Miss Su, didn't you say you were injured? Why did you react so strongly to being bumped by a little beggar?"

"That's right, you're clearly lying!"

Shen Wanru's expression instantly turned ugly, and she shouted in anger, "Shut up!"

Shen Wanqing, who was standing aside, said softly, "Sister, it's not good for you to deceive everyone like this."

Shen Wanru became even more furious when she heard this. She turned around and yelled at Shen Wanqing, "It's all because of you, little bitch! How dare you talk so much! I'll teach you a lesson!"

As he said this, he was about to raise his hand to hit Shen Wanqing.

Before her hand fell, a wine glass flew down from the second floor and hit Shen Wanru right at her feet, scaring her so much that she retracted her hand.

Shen Wanru looked up and saw Du Zhijie on the second floor staring at her coldly.

The secret guard beside Du Zhijie whispered, "Master, do you want to help?"

Du Zhijie waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look first."

Shen Wanru saw someone trying to stop her, but she still refused to give up. She hated Shen Wanqing in her heart. However, before she could push Shen Wanqing away, Shen Wanqing fell to the ground with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, everyone became even more angry.

"Shen Wanru, you've gone too far! How can you treat your own sister like this?"

"You really don't look like a lady at all!"

"There are so many people here today, and she even dared to hit her own sister."

"That's right, this fourth young lady is really pitiful. Even when she was bullied by her own sister, she still defended her elder sister."

When Shen Wanru struck her with her palm, everyone pointed at her and condemned her. Disdainful glances were like invisible needles, piercing Shen Wanru's body.

Du Zhijie was standing at the second-floor window watching everything below, frowning, and was very dissatisfied with Shen Wanru's behavior.

The cold light in his eyes faded, and his slender fingers tapped the window sill lightly, and the secret guard immediately appeared.

"It is rumored that this young lady is gentle and kind, and has always had a good reputation?" Du Zhijie's tone was full of disdain.

"There is such a rumor." The secret guard saw that his master looked unhappy and told the truth.

"Rumors are just rumors after all, and it seems they are not true. Her behavior today is truly an insult to the word gentle and kind.

Du Zhijie raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Tell the storyteller about Miss Shen's behavior today. Let the story spread, so that the world can truly see this famous young lady."

"Yes, Master." The guard bowed and then asked hesitantly, "Do you need to clear up the rumors slandering Miss Shen Wanqing?"

Du Zhijie thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessary for now. A woman like Shen Wanqing has her heart full of gullies. Let's wait and see what happens."

The people downstairs started to condemn Shen Wanru one after another.

"You usually pretend to be gentle and kind, but I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical."

"I'll never believe it again!"

The contemptuous eyes of the crowd shot towards Shen Wanru like sharp arrows, making her feel uneasy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, her maid hurried forward to hold her back, "Miss, it's getting late, we should leave quickly."

Shen Wanru glared at everyone fiercely and left angrily with her maid.

Even though she had walked a long way, she could still hear the people's spitting behind her.

"People like this shouldn't be allowed to stay in this world."

"It's really embarrassing for Lord Shen."

As Shen Wanru listened to these voices, her heart was filled with resentment towards Shen Wanqing.

Watching Shen Wanru leave, Shen Wanqing stopped pretending, her eyes became clear again, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Shen Wanru cares most about face. Now that she has made a fool of herself in front of so many people, she will probably be furious when she returns.

Maybe he'll actually call a doctor.

Whether she was angry or not, whether she asked for a doctor or not, Shen Wanqing didn't care. It was a good thing for Shen Wanru that she didn't get the old man's appreciation this time.

The old man standing nearby also saw all of this. He frowned slightly, then turned his gaze to Shen Wanqing, whose expression had changed, with a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.

The old man's eyes were very clear, and he saw clearly the farce that had just happened.

Although Shen Wanqing looks pitiful and innocent on the surface, she is actually very cunning. She uses the words of others to expose Shen Wanru's true face in front of everyone.

Others may not have noticed it, but the old man saw it clearly.

"Little girl, you have a lot on your mind." Her eyes were fixed on Shen Wanqing.

Shen Wanqing smiled slightly, but she was neither humble nor arrogant. She bowed slightly and said, "Old sir, you have a keen eye. I just want everyone to see the truth."

The old man shook his head and said, "Sometimes excessive means may not be a good thing."

Shen Wanqing raised her head and looked at the old man with a firm gaze: "Old sir, if we don't do this, she will only become more arrogant and deceive everyone." In fact, she was also worried, wondering how the old man would view her.

The old man was silent for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "You are quite clever, little girl."

Shen Wanqing smiled slightly, "Old sir, I heard that you have a bottle of magic medicine. Could you sell it to me?" Her eyes were clear without a trace of greed, as if she was really just curious about the magic medicine.

A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. "You, little girl, are quite well-informed. However, this elixir is precious. Do you have enough sincerity?"

Shen Wanqing took out a gold ingot from her sleeve and said, "Old man, is this enough?" Her hands trembled slightly, for fear that the old man would refuse her.

The old man looked at the gold, then at Shen Wanqing, "Well, since you're so smart, I'll sell it to you."

The old man didn't beat around the bush with Shen Wanqing. He took out a bottle of pills from his arms and handed it to her.

"Thank you, old man," Shen Wanqing took the pill and thanked the old man sincerely.

"I should thank you too. The food in this restaurant is pretty good." The old man pointed at the food the waiter had just brought him and laughed.

When Shen Wanqing saw that the old man knew that it was she who had sent the food, she did not deny it and bowed and took her leave.

The competition was not over yet, Shen Wanqing turned around and went upstairs.

The old man stroked his beard and looked at Shen Wanqing's back, deep in thought. This little girl already knew my identity. Whether she's a charlatan or not, you can tell by the bet she made.
