Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the pale pink curtains, gently casting a shadow on Shen Wanqing's bed. She slowly awoke and opened her eyes. The grievances she had suffered in the main hall yesterday still lingered in her mind. She took a deep breath, trying to put those negative emotions behind her.

She stood up and walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and the fresh air rushed in. Shen Wanqing looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and her mood improved slightly.

But she remembered something about Shen Wanru, her secret entanglement with the Crown Prince. Her thoughts drifted back to the past, and the Crown Prince's sinister eyes and ruthless methods made her shudder. The pain and torment of the past surged back into her heart like a tide, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

"In this life, I will never let you succeed again." Shen Wanqing's eyes were cold, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.

At that moment, her stomach growled, bringing Shen Wanqing back to her senses. She decided to put her worries aside for now. Since she was going to open a restaurant, she figured the food couldn't be inferior to Zuixianlou's. The chef had given her a recipe book, which included a novel dish—hot pot—that she might want to try.

Shen Wanqing decided to give it a try herself today. If it worked, she asked the chef and Du Zhijie to try it too. She called over a few maids and instructed them to prepare the ingredients and utensils. Soon, everything was ready.

The hot pot was placed on the table, steaming hot and fragrant. Shen Wanqing and several maids sat around it, ready to enjoy this special meal.

"Miss, this hot pot looks really novel." Jing'er looked at the hot pot again and again, her eyes fixed on the ingredients rolling in the pot, and she couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing these little girls staring at the pot, Shen Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please don't be polite. Come and try it."

With Shen Wanqing's order, the maids picked up their chopsticks and carefully picked up the food and put it into their mouths.

"Wow, it's so delicious!" Taoer exclaimed, a satisfied smile on her face.

Shen Wanqing felt a little warm in her heart when she looked at them.

Jing'er ate while saying, "Miss, no matter what happens, Jing'er will always serve you loyally." Her eyes were firm and full of sincerity. She knew that the young lady was the kindest person. Everyone praised the eldest young lady, but in her opinion, no one could compare to her fourth young lady.

Tao'er also nodded and agreed: "Miss, this servant is also like this, and will never betray you."

Seeing the girls like this, Shen Wanqing was deeply moved: "I understand your feelings. You stayed with me in my last life, and I will not treat you unfairly in this life."

Jing'er asked curiously, "Miss, what do you mean by previous life?"

Shen Wanqing suddenly realized that she had let something slip and quickly covered it up, "Nothing, I just felt that the bond between us is so deep."

Tao'er said: "Miss, no matter what, we will always be by your side."

Shen Wanqing also picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly. "With you guys here, I feel much more at ease."

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

Shen Wanqing frowned and said, "Jing'er, go see what's going on outside."

Jing'er put down her chopsticks and walked out quickly. After a while, she came back, looking a little flustered.

"Miss, it's the eldest lady who's having a tantrum outside."

Shen Wanqing snorted coldly, "What is she making a fuss about?"

Didn’t she succeed yesterday? What else is there for her to make a fuss about?

"It seems to be about something concerning the prince. I didn't hear the details clearly." Jing'er only heard the general idea, but still told Shen Wanqing what she heard.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqing's heart moved. Could it be related to the thing she remembered before?

Shen Wanqing waved her hand, "Ignore her, let's continue eating."

Everyone continued to enjoy the hotpot, but Shen Wanqing's mind was no longer on the food.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Shen Wanqing put down her chopsticks and said, "Jing'er, Tao'er, do you know what kind of person the prince is?"

Jing'er and Tao'er looked at each other, and Jing'er said, "Miss, we are just maids. We don't know much about the prince, but we have heard that he is cruel and ruthless, and not someone who is easy to get along with."

Jing'er continued, "Miss, why are you suddenly asking about the prince?"

Shen Wanqing's eyes became deep and cold: "This person is my enemy. I have an irreconcilable feud with him."

Jing'er and Tao'er both opened their mouths in surprise.

"Miss, we must be careful then."

Shen Wanqing assured: "Don't worry, I won't give him another chance to hurt us."

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside, which sounded very hurried.

Shen Wanqing's heart tightened, "Let's go see who it is."

Jing'er stood up and ran out quickly, and came back soon.

"Miss, it's the nanny next to the Madam who's here."

Shen Wanqing was confused and didn't know what Nanny Zhu was doing here.

Nanny Zhu walked in and bowed politely, "Fourth Miss, Madam wants you to come over."

Although Shen Wanqing didn't know why Su asked her to come over, she had no choice but to follow the nanny.

Arriving at Wutong Courtyard, Shen Wanqing walked into the house and saw Su sitting on the couch with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty!"

Shen Wanqing didn't understand what was going on, but she still knelt down obediently.

"Do you know your mistake?" Su asked loudly.

"Mother, I don't know what I have done wrong."

Shen Wanqing was confused by Su's question. She thought to herself, could it be because of what happened yesterday?

"Your sister was wronged outside, but you didn't care at all. You even had the mind to eat some weird food in the house."

"Mother, what happened yesterday is all in the past. Please don't pursue it any further. If you really want to find out who is right and who is wrong, then I will go and find a witness."

Shen Wanqing was not polite when she said these words. Since Su kept harping on her, she had no reason to be polite.

"You dare to talk back? It seems that I have been too indulgent to you." Su Wo's face was cold, and there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at Shen Wan.

Shen Wanqing bit her lip and stopped talking.

"Your sister has always loved you. This is something that everyone in the mansion has witnessed. You must listen to Ru'er in the future."

Seeing that Su was still thinking about letting her be a stepping stone for her beloved, Shen Wanqing didn't indulge her and directly replied: "Mother, I have my own thoughts too, I'm afraid I can't do as you wish."

Seeing that her daughter always contradicted her, Su stared at Shen Wanqing for a long time and said, "You have never been as smart as your sister. In the future, you must discuss things with Ru'er first."

Seeing Su like this, Shen Wanqing felt a little tired. In order to leave here as soon as possible, she promised, "Daughter, remember this."

Seeing that she finally agreed, Su waved her hand with satisfaction: "Go down."

Shen Wanqing stood up and left the room.

When Shen Wanqing returned to her yard, she was in a very bad mood.

"Miss, are you okay?" Jing'er and Tao'er asked with concern.

Shen Wanqing smiled brightly: "It's okay, it's just that my mother scolded me again."

"Madam is too much. She always favors the eldest daughter."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue studying the recipes, maybe we can find more delicious food." Shen Wanqing would not let those bad people and bad things affect her
