Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

At nightfall, the gate of the Marquis's Mansion slowly opened, and Shen Wanqing walked in with a brisk pace. She was in a good mood today. Firstly, Shen Wanru had not only shot herself in the foot, but also because she finally had Du Zhijie as her backer, which would make things easier for her in the future.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, she heard Shen Wanru's sharp cry coming from the main hall. Shen Wanqing despised her in her heart. This Shen Wanru was really restless. She had to see Shen Wanqing being punished before she could be happy. However, things often did not go as she wished.

In the main hall, Shen Wanru was lying in Su's arms, crying bitterly. Her face still bore the distinct handprints, her hair was a bit disheveled, and she looked quite disheveled.

Shen Yunlan sat in the main seat with a gloomy face and a furrowed brow.

Su patted Shen Wanru's back while glaring at the door.

As soon as Shen Wanqing entered the room, Su shouted sternly, "Where have you been? Why didn't you go back home with your sister? What were you doing? And now you have the nerve to come back!"

Su's scolding voice was just what Shen Wanqing had expected. She lowered her head and said softly, "Mother, things are not what you think."

Everyone can pretend. In this mansion, it’s not just Shen Wanru who can pretend and act, but Shen Wanqing can too.

Shen Wanru raised her head, looked at Shen Wanqing fiercely, and cried, "Sister, why did you treat me like that in the restaurant? You let me suffer such humiliation. You knew that Chen Xuanyi was a rude guy, but you deliberately provoked him and caused me to be beaten. What were you thinking?" As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her hands, her eyes full of resentment, and her voice trembled violently.

Looking at Shen Wanru's disgusting face again, she, Shen Wanqing, needs to learn how to confuse right and wrong from her.

Shen Wanqing wasn't in a hurry. She spoke slowly, "Sister, how can you confuse right and wrong? It was clearly that man who was being unreasonable and trying to occupy our private room. You were impatient and argued with him, but he actually raised his hand and hit you. How can you blame me for this?"

"Besides, there are more than just you and me present today. Anyone can testify."

Shen Yunlan slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up!"

This rebuke was like thunder, silencing both Shen Wanqing and Shen Wanru. The hall instantly fell silent, with only Shen Wanru's soft sobs being heard.

Shen Yunlan looked at Shen Wanqing and said sternly, "Wanqing, tell me what's going on."

Shen Wanqing bit her lip, tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, it's really not my fault. We were sitting peacefully in the private room of the restaurant, and Chen Xuanyi rushed in with his men, and asked us to give up the private room without saying a word. My sister was so angry that she said a few words and cursed at him, and then Chen Xuanyi started to attack. I have been protecting my sister, but I couldn't stop him at all." As she spoke, she clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, as if she had really been bullied.

Shen Yunlan's expression eased slightly as he listened to Shen Wanqing's narration, but there was still a hint of doubt.

Su snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Wanqing, don't quibble. Wanru has always been well-behaved and gentle, how could she easily argue with others? You also said that Ru'er cursed people, but Ru'er has always been dignified and has never said even harsh words, so how could she curse people? It must be that you didn't know the limits and said something you shouldn't have said, causing trouble." Her eyes were full of accusations and dissatisfaction.

Just a few words and a few glances from Shen Wanru were enough to convince Su Neng to trust her so much. Shen Wanqing looked at Su in disbelief, her voice rising: "Mother, how could you be so partial to my sister? Everything I said was true, not a single lie. How could I deliberately cause trouble and let my sister get hurt?"

Seeing that Shen Wanqing still refused to admit her fault, Shen Wanru burst into tears again, crying even more heartbrokenly, "Sister, why did you frame me? It was clearly you and Chen Xuanyi flirting with each other, and when he saw that you ignored him, he got angry and hit me. How can you completely shift all the blame?"

Seeing that Shen Wanru had made such casual accusations and was now speaking ill of her, she was so angry that she was shaking all over and her voice had changed: "Sister, how can you slander me like this? I have nothing to do with Chen Xuanyi. In order to frame me, you actually made up such a lie. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

The two people's quarrel made Shen Yunlan rub his brows, his face full of annoyance, and said: "Okay, stop arguing. This matter ends here, and no one is allowed to mention it again."

Shen Wanqing's eyes widened, filled with grievance and anger. She said dissatisfiedly, "Father, are you trying to smooth things over? I was clearly wronged, but you don't believe me. How can you be so confused about right and wrong?"

Shen Yunlan hadn't expected his usually taciturn daughter to be so insistent today. He said helplessly, "Wanqing, I don't want this to happen either, but a harmonious family is the foundation of everything. Let's just let this go. Don't cause any more unrest in our home."

Shen Wanqing looked at Shen Yunlan in disappointment, tears welling up in her eyes. She refused to accept the answer, "Father, where is your fairness? You favor my sister so easily and turn a deaf ear to my explanation. How can you expect your daughter to be convinced?"

Seeing Shen Wanqing being so unreasonable, Su said coldly, "Wanqing, don't blame your father. It's because of your ignorance that this family is in turmoil. If you were as well-behaved and obedient as Wanru, there wouldn't be all these troubles."

Although both were their biological daughters, the difference between her and Shen Wanru's status in their eyes was worlds apart. Shen Wanqing smiled sadly, tears finally streaming down her face. She said to Su, "Mother, am I so unbearable in your heart? I'm also your daughter. Why can't you trust me just once?"

"Wanqing, you should reflect on yourself. Stop being so unreasonable." Today's quarrel gave him a headache. He thought that his daughter would admit her mistake as long as he said a few harsh words to her, but Shen Wanqing refused to admit her mistake, which made Shen Yunlan frown.

Tears welled up in Shen Wanqing's eyes, and her voice choked with sobs: "Father, Mother, how can I accept your injustice? I have never been treated fairly in this mansion."

Shen Wanru was still sobbing beside her: "Sister, just admit your mistake and don't make father and mother angry anymore. If you persist in doing so, it will only make life difficult for everyone."

Shen Wanqing looked at Shen Wanru's hypocritical appearance, her heart filled with anger. Since she didn't even consider her as family, she no longer cared about the family relationship. "Sister, how can you have a clear conscience for framing me like this? You are confusing right and wrong like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Shen Wanqing's words completely infuriated Su. She stood up, pointed her finger at Shen Wanqing, and trembled with anger. "You rebellious girl, you still don't repent. You're full of nonsense. It seems that I've been too indulgent to you on a daily basis."

Shen Wanqing's eyes were filled with disappointment: "Mother, you have never truly understood me. In your eyes, everything I do is wrong."

After speaking, she turned and ran out.
