Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 24:

"Miss, what's wrong with you..." Jing'er's eyes reddened with heartache when she saw Shen Wanqing's expression. When she just returned home, the young lady was obviously fine. How could she become like this in just a short while?

Shen Wanqing smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I just put these there on purpose. Let's go to Wutong Courtyard."

Jing'er touched Shen Wanqing again and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine. She was still thinking about who had hurt the young lady, and she was going to fight to the death.

Jing'er nodded and followed Shen Wanqing.

They walked along the path in the mansion and met many servants along the way. When they saw Shen Wanqing in such a miserable state, they couldn't help but stop and look sideways.

"How did this fourth young lady end up like this?"

"I don't know. It looks so pitiful."

"Did he have a fight with someone outside?"

Shen Wanqing heard these discussions clearly, but she pretended not to hear them. She just straightened her back and walked towards Wutong Courtyard at a steady pace.

At this time, in the Wutong Courtyard, Shen Wanru was sitting next to Su, talking with a sweet smile. At this time, the maid at the door came to report that Shen Wanqing had arrived.

Shen Wanru turned around, and when she saw Shen Wanqing's disheveled appearance, she was secretly surprised and frowned slightly, "I haven't even met her yet, how could she...?"

When Shen Wanqing walked into the room, Shen Wanru quickly stood up and walked forward in a pretentious manner, "Sister, what's wrong with you? I'm really worried about you."

Shen Wanqing lowered her head slightly, her voice full of weakness, "Sister, don't blame yourself. I fell down accidentally. It wasn't you who pushed me. This has caused trouble for you."

She was full of words of blame, but seeing Shen Wanqing like this, she couldn't blame her at all. Su quickly walked to Shen Wanqing's side, took her hand and asked, "Qing'er, what's going on? Is this what Ru'er did?"

Seeing that Su Shi didn't trust Shen Wanru that much, Shen Wanqing had something to think about. She quickly shook her head and said, "It's not my sister's fault. I fell down by accident."

Su frowned, a look of disbelief on her face: "Really? Qing'er, if she bullies you today, don't plead for her."

Shen Wanqing looked at Su, her eyes full of sincerity: "Mother, Qing'er didn't lie, it was really my own carelessness."

Seeing Shen Wanqing was so sensible, she didn't say that it was Shen Wanru who pushed her. Su Shi knew what happened today. She only needed to ask Madam Zhu to find out the whole story.

This reminded Su of how much she owed Shen Wanqing over the years, and her anger gradually subsided. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, sit down." Then she ordered the maid, "Go, bring a chair for the Fourth Young Lady."

Shen Wanru stood aside and watched, feeling puzzled by Su Shi. In the past, Su Shi always believed her, but why did she have to listen to Shen Wanqing today? This was unprecedented.

Shen Wanqing sat down slowly. Su sat opposite her, her eyes full of concern. "Qing'er, tell your mother the truth. What happened outside?"

Shen Wanru said coquettishly: "Mother, my sister said that she fell accidentally, please don't ask any more questions."

Su glared at Shen Wanru and said, "Shut up. I can't just listen to your one-sided story. Now that Qing'er is here, I have to listen to what she has to say."

Although Shen Wanru was angry at being scolded by Su, she did not dare to say anything.

Shen Wanqing sighed softly, "Mother, I went out today to pick out a birthday gift for you, but on the way I ran into two doctors competing. I was so engrossed in watching them that I accidentally tripped over the person behind me. Because there were so many people around, I couldn't get up in time, and that's how I ended up like this."

Su was terrified when she heard this, and she held Shen Wanqing's hand even tighter: "Thank goodness you're okay. You must bring more servants with you when you go out in the future. You scared your mother, so what happened next?"

A look flashed in Shen Wanqing's eyes: "Fortunately, a kind-hearted man passed by and helped me up."

Su heaved a sigh of relief: "Amitabha, it's really the Bodhisattva's blessing. Then who is this young man? We must thank him sincerely."

"I don't quite remember the young man's name, I just remember that he was wearing a blue brocade robe and had a jade pendant hanging around his waist."

There are so many young men dressed like this. Su nodded and said, "Then we will slowly inquire about them later. We must thank them well."

Shen Wanqing responded obediently: "Yes, mother."

Su looked at the well-behaved Shen Wanqing, her eyes full of guilt: "Qing'er, it is your mother who has neglected you over the years and made you suffer."

Shen Wanqing shook her head: "Mother, please don't say that. It is Qing'er's blessing to be your daughter in this life."

Su patted Shen Wanqing's hand and said, "Good girl, if you have any problems in the future, you must tell your mother and don't bear it alone."

Tears welled up in Shen Wanqing's eyes. She had never received Su's love since she was a child, but today the sun was rising from the west.

"Mother, Qing'er knows."

Seeing how distressed Su was about Shen Wanqing, Shen Wanru said sarcastically, "Oh, sister, this time, it's a blessing in disguise. It makes mother so distressed."

Su glared at Shen Wanru again: "Ruru, if you keep talking nonsense, go back to your room."

Seeing that Su was angry, Shen Wanru didn't dare to speak anymore.

Su turned to Shen Wanqing and said, "Qing'er, since you've been frightened, don't go out for the next few days and get some rest."

Shen Wanqing nodded: "Thank you for your concern, mother."

Shen Wanqing stood up, bowed politely to Su, and left Wutong Courtyard with Jing'er's support.

Back at Qingfei Courtyard, Jing'er was just speaking up for herself, "Miss, it was obviously the eldest lady who pushed you down, why did you keep it secret for her?"

Shen Wanqing smiled bitterly: "Jing'er, if I don't do this today, Mother will think that I am ignorant. I am not favored by Mother to begin with. Hiding it for her today will only make Su Shi feel guilty towards her."

Jing'er was filled with heartache: "You and the eldest daughter are both born to the Madam, how could she treat you like this."

Shen Wanqing patted Jing'er's hand gently: "Jing'er, the position of the eldest lady in Madam's heart is unshakable. If you want Shen Wanru to pay the price, you can't be impatient."

After a few days, Su sent a lot of supplements and clothes to Qingfeiyuan.

"Miss, Madam still cares about you." Looking at the things piled in the room, Jing'er's face was full of smiles.

Shen Wanqing smiled slightly: "Really? Giving these things is also to apologize on Shen Wanru's behalf."

There was peace in Qingfei Courtyard, but in Jinxiu Courtyard there were sounds of things being smashed.

"How could my mother treat her like this? I am obviously her most beloved daughter." Shen Wanru smashed the items on the table.
