Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 5 Revealing the truth

"Maybe it's something else. Can you please tell me clearly?" Shen Wanru was afraid that she would say something bad again. Although she asked further questions, she actually disrupted her thoughts.

Shen Wanqing smiled foolishly: "Nothing, I guess I was wrong."

Seeing her silly look, Shen Wanru didn't ask the reason any further. She couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

Shen Wanxiu and Shen Wanzhu looked disappointed. They had thought that the fourth young lady had become smarter, but they never expected that she would still be led by Shen Wanru.

Shen Wanru was pretending to be sick, but Shen Wanqing just didn't get what she wanted. Seeing everyone's interested expressions, she said calmly: "Sisters, let's not talk about the murderer anymore. Someone will naturally find the murderer. How about I tell you a story?"

"When will Fourth Sister tell us a story? We're all ears." Shen Wanxiu disliked Shen Wanru, but was extremely friendly to Shen Wanqing. She would support whatever she did.

Seeing that this fool was about to make a fool of himself, Shen Wanru was more than happy to do so. How could she stop him? Of course she happily agreed.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Shen Wanqing continued, "It's said that late one night, a series of strange noises suddenly emanated from an old house. A woman with an only son was in her room when she suddenly saw a white figure floating by. The figure had no legs, but it could float back and forth in the air..."

Shen Wanqing's description was so vivid that everyone couldn't help but be fascinated by it. However, Shen Wanru was so frightened that her face turned pale and her eyes began to avoid.

Shen Wanqing didn't pause and continued, "I heard that the woman was killed by her master before she died, and she came back at night to seek revenge on her master. The white figure slowly approached the woman, revealing a ferocious face, with blood still flowing from its mouth."

Shen Wanqing pointed at the white curtain behind Shen Wanru and said in a ethereal voice, "Sister, the curtain behind you really looks like the white female ghost I mentioned."

"Ah! Ghost..."

Before Shen Wanqing could finish her words, she was interrupted by a shrill scream.

Everyone was startled by the scream. The maid pointed at the curtain behind Shen Wanru and said in a trembling voice, "Ghost... ghost... there is a ghost... there is a ghost... ah."

“Ah…Ah…”

The room was full of ladies from wealthy families who never left the house and had a natural fear of ghosts. They were all frightened and pale. Even the personal maid who served Shen Wanru didn't care about her at this time and hid outside, trying to get as far away from the bed as possible.

Shen Wanru poked her head out from behind the bed curtains, and her face met the white curtains flowing with red liquid. She was instantly frightened out of her wits, and threw off the quilt and rolled off the bed. She hid farther away than Shen Wanqing and the others, and her legs and feet were even more nimble than before.

"Sister, your leg is healed. Wasn't it injured? Why does it look like you were not injured now?" Shen Wanqing still had a silly look on her face, but what she said made Shen Wanru shudder.

After she reminded her, Shen Wanru pretended that her legs were not strong and fell backwards. Just now, everyone would have such a reaction, but now it seemed that her injuries were too serious to support herself.

Before she fell, a shadow flashed by her side, accompanied by a silly cry of surprise: "Big sister, your legs are fine, that's great, you don't have to lie in bed all day."

Shen Wanqing was so happy that she didn't control her strength, and the collision made Shen Wanru take several steps back, but she didn't fall down.

When she looked up again, the expressions of everyone in the room were somewhat meaningful. Especially Shen Wanxiu, whose face was filled with undisguised mockery, almost proving that she was faking it out loud. Although she didn't say it, it was clear that she was not injured.

Shen Wanru couldn't help but frown and wanted to yell at her for making such a fool of herself in front of so many people. However, when she saw Shen Wanqing's silly face, her face was full of joy, and she was so happy that her sister was fine. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like it was intentional. It seemed that she had overestimated her. She was just angry and kept calling her a fool in her heart.

Shen Wanqing's happiness was naturally not fake. She was happy to be able to expose Shen Wanru's mask. She wanted to remove her disguise step by step so that she would no longer be her stepping stone and let everyone see whether she was the kind and talented woman known to the world.

Shen Wanru is very scheming and will definitely find a perfect excuse for this matter. However, after revealing her true face in front of everyone this time, she will no longer be so perfect in the future, and a crack will appear under her perfect mask.

It will take time to reveal Shen Wanru's true face to everyone. She believes that one day, she will tear off Shen Wanru's disguise mask.

Shen Wanqing's innocent appearance made Shen Wanru feel like a fish stuck in her throat. She felt extremely uncomfortable and could only curse her in her heart, "What a fool!" She thought of a countermeasure quickly.

Find a reasonable excuse for this fake injury. Make everyone believe that she was really injured and not just pretending to be injured.

After a moment, she had an idea in her mind, because the person who would take the blame was right next to her.

She took Shen Wanqing's hand, her voice full of doting, "It's not your fault that my elder sister was injured. Besides, my injury is not serious. It might be caused by the excessive shock from falling from the horse. You know, mother has always loved me. This time, you are also a victim. But when the news of your misfortune spread, I think mother will blame you. Now that I am in this state, mother will definitely find out who is behind this. This is good. At least it can give us sisters justice and will definitely not let the murderer go unpunished."

Shen Wanqing was so moved that she wiped her tears. "Eldest sister is still the best to me. You still think of me even when you are hurt."

"Silly girl, you are my sister. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" He patted Shen Wanqing's head, glanced at the sisters in the room, and changed the subject: "You and I are sisters, there is no need to be so formal. In the future, we must work together and support each other, understand?"

In her previous life, she bribed her with sweet words, making her grateful to her sister for the rest of her life. Before she died, she was still fantasizing that her sister would come to help her.

Looking back now, I really was so stupid.

Her hand was still gently placed on her head, and Shen Wanqing just felt nauseous.

She suddenly pulled Shen Wanru's hand down, her eyes full of emotion, her voice soft and sticky, "Don't worry, sister. From now on, I will be your strong backing."

Shen Wanqing, who was caught, felt a little strange in her heart. How could she sense something was different? But when she looked at Shen Wanqing again, she still had that silly look. How could a person with all kinds of expressions on her face have such scheming intentions? It seemed that she was overthinking it.

As usual, she offered some warmth at the appropriate time, "You are truly my good sister. As your elder sister, I will do my best to protect you for the rest of my life."
