Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

An hour later, Su stood up. After the maid informed her, she looked surprised. "This time, she's smart. She knew she made a mistake, but she came here to apologize. Was it you who gave her the hint?"

Nanny Zhu was massaging Su's shoulders and shook her head when she heard this. "I didn't mention anything about the Fourth Young Lady, but I heard that the Second Young Lady fell off her horse and fell into the water. She has a fever and I guess she just woke up. I didn't expect her to come here just as she was feeling better. It seems the Fourth Young Lady is really thoughtful."

Mrs. Su nodded in satisfaction. "It's good that she behaved this way. She will eventually get married. Don't be so reckless when she gets married. It will bring shame to our family." She raised her hand and rubbed her brow. "Let her in."

Shen Wanqing quickly entered the flower hall, holding the hem of her skirt. Su was sitting at the head of the table. She stepped forward and knelt, "Daughter pays respects to mother."

He raised his face, his eyes full of apology.

"What happened yesterday was my fault. When I woke up today and heard that my eldest sister was injured, I knew it was my fault. I am an unlucky person, and now my eldest sister is injured because of me. This is truly my fault. After I apologize to my mother, I will go visit my eldest sister. Later, I will recite scriptures and pray for my mother in my courtyard."

I will not be able to visit my father and mother often in the future. I feel ashamed. I only wish my parents good health, longevity, peace and happiness in this life."

Her feelings were sincere, her eyes were full of shame and anger, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Do you really think so?" Su picked up the teacup, took a sip, and his eyes stayed on her face.

Shen Wanqing was extremely beautiful, with eyebrows like emerald feathers, skin as white as snow, a waist as slender as a silk ribbon, bright eyes and white teeth, and her pink lips on her oval face were naturally red.

Looking at the face that bore a striking resemblance to her own, yet seemed even more like her youth, it reminded her that this was also her daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. Over the years, because of the rumors that she was unlucky, she had never really looked at her.

"Please believe me, mother. These are all my daughter's heartfelt words." Shen Wanqing lowered her head.

Su nodded and put down the teacup. "Even if you admit your mistake, it's not too late. You should go visit your elder sister first. There's no need to stay indoors. You are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family after all. If there are gatherings in Kyoto, you should still attend them in the future."

Shen Wanqing raised her eyes, her eyes filled with emotion, "Thank you, mother..."

Jing'er helped her stand up, and Shen Wanqing asked softly, "Mother, do you want to go with me?"

"You go ahead, and mother will go later."

Shen Wanqing bowed and took her leave. Perhaps because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs seemed a little stiff when she walked.

Su looked at the slender figure, still wearing the old-fashioned dress from a few years ago, "Madam Zhu, have I been too harsh on Qing'er these years?"

She and Ru'er are both my children, but Ru'er is dressed in silk and satin, and wears the most fashionable jewelry of the time. On the other hand, Qing'er's dress is not as good as that of Ru'er's personal maid.

"Madam, you're overthinking it. Our Fourth Young Lady simply doesn't like dressing up or those things."

Nanny Zhu smiled and consoled her. "Madam, if you treat Fourth Miss with more affection in the future, I'm sure she'll be happy."

It is said that which child in the world does not want to be loved by his father? However, the Fourth Young Lady has been like a transparent person in the Marquis' Mansion for these years, which is a bit pitiful.

Su nodded, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes turned cold. "Did you also see Qing'er's temper just now?"

"The fourth young lady has a gentle personality and is not good at disguising herself." Thinking about what happened just now, Nanny Zhu's expression also turned cold.

"Go and find out who are the fools who are gossiping." When Shen Wanqing was born, he nearly lost two lives, and the master was injured on the way back home. It was unlucky. Although the palace had strictly forbidden the spread of the news, somehow it still leaked out.

Then, there were rumors that Shen Wanqing was born an unlucky person.

Although Madam hadn't paid much attention to the Fourth Young Lady over the years, she had ordered everyone in the mansion not to make irresponsible comments. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate, and if her reputation was ruined, it would ultimately bring shame upon the Marquisate.

This time, the eldest lady was injured, and these girls couldn't control their mouths.

Shen Wanqing brought Jing'er to Jinxiuyuan. As soon as they entered, they saw all the sisters in the mansion were there.

After exchanging greetings, Shen Wanru extended her hand towards Shen Wanqing. "I heard you had a fever last night, but you're feeling better now. Mother wanted to punish you, and I begged her for a long time, but she refused to forgive me. You've always been fragile, and you haven't fully recovered yet. What if something happens to you while kneeling again?"

These words sounded like a caring gesture, each one a sister's love for her younger sister. My previous life was moved to tears when I heard these words, feeling that my sister was the only one in the world who truly cared about me.

But now that I have lived my life again and heard these words again, I just feel that I was so stupid in my previous life.

Shen Wanru's words clearly made her feel that her mother disliked her and never cared about her even when she was sick.

"Sister, you are still thinking about me so much because I was injured. It's all my fault." Shen Wanqing did not put her hand in Shen Wanru's palm as usual, but stood beside Shen Wanru's bed neither humble nor arrogant.

"Sister, you're only concerned about me. Even after you've said this, I wonder if your wound still hurts. Seeing that your spirits are still good, I guess the doctor's medicine is working."

Shen Wanqing's seemingly casual words of concern stirred up a thousand waves in everyone's hearts. They had been there for quite a while, and Shen Wanru was full of energy, not like a wounded person at all.

She fell off a horse, and although she didn't break any arms or legs, she was still seriously injured. Even if she didn't cry for her parents, she would have been exhausted. How could she be so calm and composed?

Shen Wanqing's words seemed to have awakened her. A trace of fatigue, as if from enduring immense pain, appeared between her brows. She forced a weak smile and said, "I'm fine. Mother invited the imperial physician from the palace to prescribe painkillers for me, so I don't feel much pain. As for you, this incident was just an accident. Don't think that you are unlucky because you were born unlucky."

She mentioned Shen Wanqing as an ominous person at this time to divert everyone's attention.

Shen Wanqing did not blame herself as usual, but just glanced at her indifferently. There was no emotion in that glance, but it was as if she saw through her, making her almost remove the last bit of her disguise.

When Shen Wanru wanted to take a closer look, Shen Wanqing lowered her head and said in a panic: "Just now in mother's yard, those maids were talking about..."

"What did you hear?" Shen Wanru asked with concern, a dark glint in her eyes. It seemed that her people had already taken care of the matter. In this way, even if she couldn't attend the banquet due to her injury, Shen Wanqing would not have a chance either. This was exactly what she wanted.

Shen Wanqing shook her head. "Sister is still recovering from her injuries, so it's not appropriate for her to listen to these upsetting things. I hope you don't blame me. Today, I promised mother that I would copy scriptures and pray for her and sister in the future, so I won't leave the courtyard."

Hearing this, Shen Wanru was secretly happy in her heart and couldn't help but sit up straight, "Has mother agreed?"

"Sister, be careful about your injuries." Shen Wanqing hurriedly supported her, looking at the wound on her leg with worried eyes.
