Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 25:

Her maid Qin'er advised, "Miss, don't be angry. Perhaps the Madam is just being soft-hearted for a moment."

Shen Wanru glared at Qin'er fiercely: "It's all because of that Shen Wanqing. She pretended to be pitiful and deceived her mother."

"Miss, we have to think of a way to not let Shen Wanqing succeed like this.

"Sister, you're in such a good mood!" Shen Wanru spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Shen Wanqing just glanced at her calmly: "Sister."

Shen Wanru walked up to Shen Wanqing and looked her up and down: "Wow, your injury healed pretty quickly."

"Thank you for your concern, sister." Shen Wanqing's face was calm and no joy could be seen.

Shen Wanru smiled coldly, "Don't think that you can win your mother's love by pretending to be pitiful in front of her."

Shen Wanqing found it very funny to hear this. Both she and she were daughters of the Su family, so why should she be the only one who could receive the love from her mother?

"Sister, you misunderstood me. I have never had such thoughts before."

"Stop pretending to be innocent here. I won't let you go." Shen Wanru stopped pretending and revealed her true face.

"What are you doing?" Su's voice came.

Shen Wanqing and Shen Wanru were both startled and turned to look at Su.

Su walked over with a gloomy expression, "Ruru, you are bullying Qing'er again."

Shen Wanru waved her hands repeatedly, "Mother, you misunderstood, I was chatting with my sister?"

"Oh, then why do you look so bad?" Su asked with concern, holding Shen Wanru's hand.

"Qing'er, did you make your sister angry?"

Although Su's words were a question, it sounded like a challenge to Shen Wanqing. She had just had a slight liking for her, but now it was gone.

"Mother, no, it's my sister..."

Shen Wanru was afraid that Shen Wanqing would say something unfavorable to her, so she quickly interrupted and said, "Mother, it's my sister who is ignorant. She won't be a problem."

Su frowned, "Qing'er, your sister takes care of you so much every day, how can you be so ungrateful?"

Shen Wanqing wanted to explain a few more words, but was interrupted by Su, "Okay, you don't have to say anything. Last time, I thought you were a bit filial, but it seems I was wrong."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Shen Wanru didn't forget to add a knife: "Mother, you have to make the decision for me. My sister has been becoming more and more unreasonable recently."

Su's face was filled with disappointment. "Qing'er, you disappoint me so much. Ru'er is always so kind. You must have provoked her first today. From today on, you should stay in your room and reflect on your mistakes."

Shen Wanru glared at Shen Wanqing triumphantly, then turned around and left with Su.

As Su walked away, she said, "Ruru, don't argue with your sister. It seems she is still immature."

Shen Wanru coquettishly took Su's arm and said, "Mother, you still love me the most."

Looking at the two people leaving, Shen Wanqing's eyes were cold.

Su's preference for Shen Wanru really has no bottom line.

One day, Su finally let Shen Wanqing go out, and she wanted to go to the teahouse.

Shen Wanqing brought Jing'er to the best teahouse in Kyoto. She chose a seat by the window and ordered some exquisite snacks.

The old man was observing Shen Wanqing quietly from a distance. After she sat down, he walked up to her and said with a smile, "Miss, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you still remember me?"

Seeing that it was an old man, Shen Wanqing hurriedly asked him to sit down and ordered a cup of good tea for him.

"Miss, today's tea is not cheap."

Shen Wanqing smiled slightly. "As long as the old gentleman enjoys drinking it, it will be a blessing for this tea. As for the price, that's not a problem."

The old man's heart moved when he heard this, and he continued, "This fine tea is in the attic. You need to get it yourself, young lady. The stairs are steep. Do you dare to go?"

Shen Wanqing's eyes were firm. "I heard that Master loves tea the most. It's just a matter of going up to the attic. Why not?"

The old man was satisfied with Shen Wanqing's answer. He decided to give her another try. When a guest passed by, the old man deliberately knocked over a teacup in front of Shen Wanqing, splashing the tea on the guest's clothes. The guest immediately glared at him.

Shen Wanqing appeared very calm. She first apologized to the customer, then took out her handkerchief and helped the customer wipe his clothes with a gentle attitude. The customer's anger gradually subsided and he did not pursue the matter any further.

Seeing this, the old man laughed heartily and gave Shen Wanqing a thumbs-up. "Miss, your character makes me very satisfied. I have decided to accept you as my disciple and pass on my skills to you. Are you willing?"

Shen Wanqing was surprised to be able to become the old man's last disciple. She was so eager to learn that she knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

The old man helped Shen Wanqing up, his eyes full of relief, "Get up, from now on, you must study hard and don't slack off."

"Master, don't worry. I've got this in mind." Shen Wanqing was delighted, a smile spreading across her eyes. She had thought that after the old man sold her the elixir, they would never see each other again, but she hadn't expected the old man to be willing to accept her as his disciple.

"Disciple, I will give you a gift first." The old man took out two yellowed books from his sleeves, one of which was a recipe book and the other a medical book.

Shen Wanqing took the two books with both hands, her eyes flashing with excitement.

The old man said slowly, "This recipe is the product of years of hard work from my teacher. It contains unique recipes and cooking methods for various delicious dishes. This medical book contains the names of herbs. You should take a good look at it when you have time. I will test you when I have time. You must cherish these two books and never pass them on to others."

Shen Wanqing nodded solemnly, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely treasure you like a treasure."

"Every herbal name in this medical book requires your careful understanding. If you encounter something you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

"Disciple understands."

When she returned to her own Qingfei Courtyard, a servant came to report that Xiaozhuo wanted to see her.

"Greetings, Fourth Miss." The man knelt respectfully on his single knee to greet Shen Wandan.

Shen Wanqing was in a good mood today. She was gentle and calm, and raised her hand to signal the small table to stand up.

"I have bought two houses and four shops according to the instructions of the fourth young lady. One of the shops will be used as a clinic, and I haven't decided what to do with the other three yet." Xiaozhuo took out the account book from his arms and handed it to Shen Wanqing.

"Well done." Shen Wanqing took it and looked through it carefully.

"It's just..." Little Table hesitated to speak.

"Just say it." Shen Wanqing stopped and looked at the small table.

"I ran into some trouble when opening the clinic this time, but I didn't expect to run into the Major General of the General's Mansion. He was the one who stepped in to solve the problem." Xiao Zhuo didn't dare to hide anything and said truthfully with a worried look on his face, "Although the clinic is open, there is no doctor. I was at a loss for a moment, so the Major General invited the old man who had made a bet with Doctor Chen last time. Now the old man is the one who is treating patients in the hospital."

"Really? Master, did you really go to the clinic I opened?" Shen Wanqing's eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
