Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

The news that Shen Wanqing was blamed by Su in the past few days soon reached the main house. Shen Wanxiu frowned slightly. When she thought of such a smart woman, why did Su favor Shen Wanru? It was really like she would give up the pearl and fall in love with that inconspicuous fish eye.

She came to Shen Wanqing's Qingfei Courtyard with a smile on her face and called out through the window, "Fourth sister, the weather is very nice today. I'd like to invite you to go out of the house and relax, is that okay?"

Shen Wanqing was reading quietly in the room. When she heard Shen Wanxiu's clear and cheerful voice, she gently put down the book in her hand, stood up and walked to the window.

"Since my sister has invited me, Wanqing is naturally happy to do so." Shen Wanqing responded with a smile, her eyes full of joy. In this huge mansion, only this cousin is somewhat sincere to her.

Shen Wanqing, carefully dressed by Jing'er, left the mansion. Along the way, Shen Wanxiu was filled with excitement, holding Shen Wanqing's hand as they looked around. Here were novel gadgets, there was a lively acrobatic performance, and the two of them shuttled through the bustling crowd, laughing and chatting non-stop.

She accompanied Shen Wanqing out today just to let her relax. She must have suffered a lot of grievances in the past few days.

But such happy moments are always short-lived. As the sun sets, a gorgeous sunset glow appears on the horizon. Shen Wanqing and Shen Wanxiu finally return home with a feeling of not having enough.

At this time, in the main hall of the Marquis's mansion, the family was already sitting around the dining table. As soon as Shen Wanqing stepped into the main hall, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Shen Wanru sat there, a hint of ill intent in her eyes. Seeing Shen Wanqing come in, she said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, sister, you're finally back. This woman went out for a trip and came back so late. Isn't she afraid of damaging her reputation?"

Shen Wanqing frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. "Sister, what do you mean? I just went out for a stroll with my second sister. How can it be said that it damages my reputation?"

Shen Wanru sneered: "Hmph, who knows what you did. This woman's reputation is the most important thing, so you should pay more attention to her." Her eyes were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Shen Wanqing's expression turned somewhat ugly. She bit her lip, trying to control her emotions, and said coldly, "Sister, please don't talk nonsense. My second sister and I just went to see some novelty things and didn't do anything inappropriate."

Shen Yunlan coughed lightly and said, "Okay, stop talking and eat quickly." His face was a little gloomy, and he felt a little annoyed by the quarrel between the two sisters.

Su also agreed: "That's right, don't make a fuss over such a small matter, it will ruin the family's mood for dinner." Her eyes swept between Shen Wanqing and Shen Wanru.

Shen Wanru, however, refused to give in. She raised her voice and said, "Father and Mother, you must not indulge her. If this gets out, where will our Marquisate's reputation be? My sister is so shameless, what will happen to her in the future?"

Shen Wanqing couldn't hold it in any longer and glared at Shen Wanru, "Sister, please stop slandering me! My second sister and I are innocent. What is your intention in slandering me like this?"

Shen Yunlan slammed the table hard and shouted, "Shut up, everyone! Eat your food!"

Shen Wanqing bit her lip, stopped talking, sat down silently and started eating. But her heart was full of grievances.

At the dinner table, Shen Wanru would glance at Shen Wanqing from time to time, muttering, "Some women just don't understand the rules and don't know how to behave." Although her voice was not loud, it was just loud enough for Shen Wanqing to hear.

Shen Wanqing suppressed her anger and just lowered her head to eat. She didn't want to argue with Shen Wanru anymore. A momentary verbal fight would not have any effect. What she wanted was that Shen Wanru would never be so arrogant again in the future.

After finally finishing the meal, Shen Wanqing stood up and saluted: "Father and mother, I'm done eating and will go back first."

Shen Yunlan nodded: "Well, go ahead."

Shen Wanqing turned and left the dining room, heading towards her own Qingfei Courtyard. Behind her came Shen Wanru's harsh, cold laugh.

Shen Wanru will let you be proud for a few days. In a few days' time at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, we'll see how proud you can still be.

After returning to Qingfeiyuan, Shen Wanqing's mood remained restless for a long time. She sat by the window, gazing at the moonlight outside, and recalled her past life.

Back then, because she had always listened to Shen Wanru, her relationship with Su Shi had become extremely cold due to her instigation. Even in this life, she was no longer being instigated by her, but Su Shi still disliked her. It seemed that she truly didn't care about her daughter. She was also indecisive. After marrying Du Zhijie, she consulted Shen Wanru on everything, even agreeing to steal Du Zhijie's military token when she was asked to do so. Ultimately, she ended up in a tragic situation. This also brought harm to Du Zhijie and the General's Mansion.

"Having learned from her past life, will she repay Shen Wanru's pain inflicted upon her doubly in this life?" Shen Wanqing muttered to herself, her eyes filled with determination. "Shen Wanru, I'll let you be proud for a few days, but after a few more, you will be despised by everyone."

Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of the maid came from outside the door: "Miss, the eldest lady is here."

Shen Wanqing's heart tightened, wondering what Shen Wanru was up to next.

Shen Wanru walked into the room with a fake smile on her face: "Sister, sister came to see you."

Seeing Shen Wanru like this, Shen Wanqing didn't look very happy: "What can I do for you, sister?"

Shen Wanru smiled and said, "Sister, what you said is true. Isn't it enough that I care about you? I saw that you didn't eat much for dinner, so I was worried that you would be hungry. This is the pastry I asked someone to make, and I brought it to you specially to try." As she said that, she put a plate of pastries on the table.

Shen Wanqing looked at the plate of cakes and became suspicious: "I appreciate your kindness, sister, but I'm full."

She is not a naive girl, and she doesn't believe that Shen Wanru would be so kind.

Shen Wanru, contrary to her usual behavior, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Shen Wanqing: "Sister, just try it. This is a token of my love."

Shen Wanqing couldn't refuse, so she took the cake and took a bite. The cake tasted normal.

A hint of triumphant smile flashed across Shen Wanru's eyes, and she asked with pretended concern, "How does it taste, sister?"

Shen Wanqing glanced at her and said lightly: "Thank you, sister. It tastes okay." She thought to herself that Shen Wanru must have bad intentions, but at this moment she couldn't see anything wrong with the pastry.

Seeing Shen Wanqing eating the pastries, Shen Wanru felt relieved. She said a few irrelevant words and left.

Shen Wanqing felt vaguely uneasy, but couldn't quite put her finger on why. She told the maid to put the cakes away.

Tomorrow, let Jing'er invite the master to come to the mansion to take a look. She always feels that Shen Wanru is being too attentive for no reason and is either a traitor or a thief.
