Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Shen Wanqing was slightly stunned. The words "I only trust you" made her think a lot. Yes, there was a time when she also trusted others like this.

Shen Wanxin sighed softly. Du Zhijie trusted her so much, and she would betray that trust. She spoke firmly, "Young General, given the current situation..." She hesitated, worry in her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't want to trust Du Zhijie, but the Crown Prince was too treacherous. In the previous life, the Crown Prince had been the last in power.

Du Zhijie's eyes glared, and he clenched his fists tightly. He was filled with rage at the thought of the Crown Prince's despicable behavior. "Miss Shen, you should know that the current Crown Prince is a tyrant who amasses wealth... and forms cliques for personal gain."

Shen Wanqing's body trembled slightly. She knew what Du Zhijie said in her previous life, but no one had ever exposed the prince's crimes. Why did Du Zhijie do so today... Is it because of her? But she has never met the prince head-on since her rebirth. This shouldn't be the case. Looking at Du Zhijie again, he doesn't seem to be lying. Could it be that Du Zhijie had this idea in his previous life, and it was because she was bewitched by her elder sister that Du Zhijie gave up fighting against the prince.

Although she was confused, she still did not forget to remind him. After all, in this life, she was not only seeking revenge on the prince and elder sister, but more importantly, repaying the man in front of her. Therefore, Du Zhijie must not repeat the same mistakes as in his previous life. "Major General, this matter is extremely dangerous. Have you ever thought about the consequences?" Shen Wanqing frowned, looking worried.

Seeing Shen Wanqing caring about him first, Du Zhijie felt a warm current in his heart, but his eyes were firm: "It is my duty to protect my country, but the prince has really gone too far, otherwise I would not have taken action against him."

Shen Wanqing was silent for a moment, her tone was also unusually firm, "Young General is so righteous, I admire you very much. But, even if it is to deal with the prince, what can I do to help you?

Du Zhijie leaned forward, approached Shen Wanqing, and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Miss Shen has a recipe book. Although it is just an insignificant recipe book, it can still be used to restrain the prince."

Shen Wanqing was shocked and looked up at Du Zhijie with a puzzled look: "Major General, did you misunderstand me? What is that recipe of mine?"

"Oh, could it be that the old gentleman didn't give it to you? That shouldn't be right!" Du Zhijie stood up and sat opposite Shen Wanqing with a playful look on his face.

"It seems that nothing can be hidden from your eyes." Shen Wanqing simply stopped pretending and admitted it generously.

"I do have a recipe, but it's just for the prince. Will that work?"

Du Zhijie smiled faintly, "Of course I can. Do you know who owns the largest restaurant in Kyoto?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head. The largest restaurant in Kyoto was Zuixianlou. She had been there several times and only heard that the owner behind the restaurant was a mysterious man.

"You mean..."

Du Zhijie nodded, confirming Shen Wanqing's idea.

"Is the prince still short of money?" Shen Wanqing asked the question in her mind.

Du Zhijie showed no joy, and simply said calmly, "The Crown Prince must have money to raise private soldiers. The most important thing is that the Crown Prince's main purpose in opening Zuixianlou is to make friends with the powerful and influential."

Shen Wanqing saw that Du Zhijie's analysis was very reasonable and agreed with his idea in her heart. After all, she and the prince had a feud for two generations.

"What can I do to strike a blow to the prince?"

Although Shen Wanqing had the answer in her heart, she wanted to hear Du Zhi's thoughts.

"Are you interested in opening a restaurant next to the Jiuxian Building? You have the recipes, so I think the business will be good."

Du Zhijie's idea was the same as Shen Wanqing's.

"But will that expose me? After all, he is the crown prince. If he wants Shen Wanqing's life, it's not as easy as crushing an ant."

Seeing the little girl being so alert, Du Zhijie was in a good mood. This is what his partner should be like.

"I'm not going to kill you, but I think running the restaurant will take some effort."

Shen Wanqing nodded, "As long as you are my backer, I am not afraid."

Du Zhijie took a deep breath and said, "Shen Wanxiao, I know you are extremely intelligent and insightful. This time we are dealing with the Crown Prince, so you must not be careless."

Shen Wanqing bit her lip, her voice full of teasing: "Major General, I'm just a woman, you really think highly of me."

Du Zhijie held Shen Wanqing's hand and said sincerely, "Miss Shen, don't underestimate yourself. Your insights and strategies are far superior to those of ordinary people."

Shen Wanqing was suddenly held by Du Zhijie's hand. A blush appeared on her face. She wanted to pull her hand back, but stopped. She liked this feeling: "Young General, you must keep your word. If the prince embarrasses me, will you help me?"

Du Zhijie's voice was firm as he assured, "Of course. You and I are partners. I will never let you get hurt."

With his assurance, Shen Wanqing was in a good mood: "Major General, we can't rush into opening a restaurant. We need to take a long-term approach."

Du Zhijie's eyes were gentle, and he looked at Shen Wanqing tenderly: "Miss Shen, today we are just discussing this matter with you. The specific time for opening the wine shop is still up to you to decide."

After all, they were dealing with the Crown Prince. Without thorough preparation, she and Du Zhijie would be courting death. Shen Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then spoke her mind: "Young General, if this matter is exposed, you will only need to protect yourself and everyone in the General's Mansion. Just do it in a clear and transparent way. As for me, you won't have to protect me then..."

Shen Wanqing just wanted to atone for her sins. It was she who harmed the General's Mansion in her previous life. In this life, she would not let anything happen to the General's Mansion no matter what. If anything happened, she would take the responsibility.

Hearing this, Du Zhijie frowned, his voice trembling slightly: "Miss Shen, there is no need to be so pessimistic. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect you."

Shen Wanqing nodded, and the two reached an agreement.

At this time, the waiter came over to serve the dishes, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Du Zhijie then hurriedly let go of Shen Wanqing's hand and said embarrassedly: "Look, we were so busy talking that the food has gotten cold. You should eat something first and don't starve."

Shen Wanqing was indeed a little hungry. She had come here to eat, but unexpectedly a series of events occurred. She picked up her chopsticks, but the food had no taste.

Du Zhijie considerately picked up a bowl full of dishes for Shen Wanqing, "I heard these dishes are all good, eat more."

Shen Wanqing nodded, picked up a piece of green bamboo shoots and put it in her mouth.

"Thank you, Major General."

Although the two of them ate in silence, they would occasionally look at each other and then quickly look away.

Seeing that Shen Wanqing had almost finished eating, Du Zhijie hurriedly said, "Miss Shen, it's getting late today. I'll take you back home."

Shen Wanqing did not refuse. After learning from what happened to Chen Xuanyi today, she did not dare to go back alone. After all, she was a weak woman.
