Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Seeing Shen Wanru being sent back by Xiao Chenyang, she thought it was okay. She had just left in a hurry and forgot to pay the bill. When she returned to the restaurant, the crowd of onlookers had not yet dispersed. Seeing her return, they all gathered around her.

"Ms. Shen, you have a good sister who protects you everywhere." A middle-aged woman said with a flattering smile on her face.

"Yes, Miss Shen, your sister is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She is well-educated, well-mannered, dignified and generous." Another man also echoed.

Shen Wanqing sneered inwardly, wondering why these people hadn't come to help just now. Now that they knew they were not simple people, they were just playing along. Her face was calm, and although she was smiling, it didn't reach her eyes. "Thank you all for your compliments, I'm sorry for making you laugh today."

The crowd said a few more flattering words before gradually dispersing.

Shen Wanqing found a corner to sit down, and looking at the delicious dishes on the table, she lost her appetite for a moment. She couldn't believe that Shen Wanru was really willing to risk everything to restore her reputation.

When she returned home, she would definitely be blamed by Su, but Shen Wanqing was not panicked at all. She had long seen Shen Wanru's ability to confuse right and wrong.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the restaurant. Shen Wanqing looked up and saw a handsome man grabbing Chen Xuanyi by the collar and throwing him to the ground. Because the man had his back to her, Shen Wanqing couldn't see his identity for a moment.

No wonder she didn't see Chen Xuanyi when she just came back. She didn't expect him to be scolded by someone right now. It really fits the saying that if you walk too much at night, you will get your shoes wet.

Chen Xuanyi's previous arrogance was still there. He was thrown to the ground. Although he looked a little embarrassed, his face was full of fear. "You...you dare to touch me?"

The man snorted coldly, "Chen Xuanyi, you usually do a lot of evil things, but today you ran into me, so you are not so lucky."

The man who spoke was Du Zhijie who had just arrived.

Today, Du Zhijie is dressed in military uniform, looking very majestic. His eyes are so stern that people dare not look directly at him.

Chen Xuanyi struggled to get up, but was kicked to the ground by Du Zhijie again.

"Don't let me see you bullying others again, or you'll be in trouble!"

Frightened by Du Zhijie's aura, Chen Xuanyi nodded repeatedly and fled out of the restaurant.

Seeing that Chen Xuanyi, who had been acting arrogantly, was brought under control, the people in the restaurant applauded and cheered.

Du Zhijie casually dusted himself off and glanced at Shen Wanqing.

"Miss Shen, I'm scared."

Seeing that it was Du Zhijie, Shen Wanqing hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Major General, for your help."

"Miss Shen, you don't have to be polite. Teaching Chen Xuanyi a lesson today is also a way to get rid of harm to the people."

Although Shen Wanqing didn't know why Du Zhijie came here on purpose, as a major general, such trivial matters were not within his jurisdiction.

A trace of gratitude welled up in her heart, "Wanqing will remember the favor you showed me today, Young General."

Du Zhijie saw Shen Wanqing and himself standing outside, and there were many people watching the excitement around, so he suggested: "Miss Shen, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go sit down somewhere else and have a cup of tea."

Shen Wanqing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Knowing Du Zhijie's character, she agreed to his suggestion.

The two came to another private room in the restaurant, and Du Zhijie asked the waiter to bring some tea and snacks.

"Miss Shen, you helped the old man last time. You didn't get harassed by Shen Wanru after returning home, right?" Du Zhijie was not a person who liked to beat around the bush. He spoke directly to the point if he had anything to say.

Shen Wanqing was shocked. She didn't expect that the young general would care about the affairs of her daughter's inner house.

She restrained the expression on her face and said softly, "Young General, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm fine." Shen Wanqing smiled faintly.

Hearing him say that everything was fine, Du Zhijie's frown relaxed. "It's good that you have a pure and kind heart, but being too kind is not good. It will always put you in danger."

Shen Wanqing saw that he was still the same as in his previous life. No matter when, he would care about her and stand by her.

"Thank you, Major General. I understand." Shen Wanqing felt warm in her heart. She really liked the feeling of being cared for.

Du Zhijie pondered for a moment, looking at the lingering figure in front of him, he said: "Miss Shen, why don't I help you pass on a message to Lord Shen, maybe your life in the mansion will be much better in the future."

Shen Wanqing quickly shook her head, a look of surprise on her face. "I appreciate the young general's kindness, but we have different statuses now. Who are you going to use to speak to the marquis?"

"Miss Shen, you don't have to worry about this identity issue. I know what I'm doing." Du Zhijie saw through the thoughts of his little daughter at a glance. He just wanted to tease her, and he was happy to see her embarrassed.

Shen Wanqing picked up the hot tea that had just been served and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.

Du Zhijie looked at Shen Wanqing like this, how could he not like her? However, he knew what kind of person Lord Shen was. If he wanted to get her, he would have to use some tricks.

Thinking of this, Du Zhijie's eyes became deep, "Actually, I met you today and I have another matter to discuss with Miss Shen."

What could a major general possibly discuss with a woman like her? She was slightly startled and looked at Du Zhijie with doubt, "Major General, please speak."

Du Zhijie took a deep breath and said firmly, "Miss Shen, the situation in the court is very complicated right now. The Crown Prince is ruthless, incompetent and unjust..."

She had never imagined that this general's mansion, where she had never fought in her previous life, would be the one to choose sides in this life because of her. Her eyes widened in shock when she heard this, and the handkerchief in her hand almost slipped. "Major General, this is a matter of great importance, concerning our life and property. How can a girl like me understand this?"

Shen Wanqing wanted to kill the bastard prince with her own hands. If she had Du Zhijie's help, she might be able to do it more smoothly. But thinking of Du Zhijie's tragic death at the hands of the prince in her previous life, she was uncertain about the future and also afraid of the ending of her previous life.

Du Zhijie looked at Shen Wanqing's gradually pale face and felt a little reluctant in his heart, but looking at all the women in Kyoto, she was the only one who was worthy of cooperating with him.

"You don't need to understand anything. I just heard that the prince and your elder sister have some connections. That's why I came to you." Du Zhijie couldn't help but speak his mind, fearing that the little girl would misunderstand him.

The prince and Shen Wanru were in cahoots with each other in the previous life. In this life, she must stop them, not only for Du Zhijie, but more for her own revenge.

"Why are you telling me this? We've only met a few times. Am I worthy of your trust?"

Du Zhijie smiled brightly, "Qing'er, I only trust you."
