Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 6 The man behind the scenes

After everyone calmed down, several servants outside the yard came in to check what was going on with the bloody curtain beside Shen Wanru's bed.

"Miss, this is not a ghost, it's just that the curtain is stained with red paint." A maid took down the curtain, examined it carefully, and handed it to Shen Wanru for inspection.

At this moment, Shen Wanru was just cursing herself in her heart for being so careless. She was scared without seeing clearly and was exposed. She was full of regret.

"Take it out and throw it away. It's unlucky to look at it!" Shen Wanru waved her hands, her eyes full of disgust.

Everyone was thinking about this and that, and the atmosphere in the room became awkward for a moment.

In this wealthy family, each of these people is an old fox. Although Xin Ming was as nervous as Ming Jing at this moment, they did not say anything and each of them adjusted their emotions.

Seeing Shen Wanru's frustrated look, Shen Wanxiu smiled brightly in her heart. It was really worth coming to Shen Wanru today. She was in a very good mood at this moment, with a smile on her face. "Sister is injured, and the patient still needs to rest. I will go back first, sister, rest well."

She was leaving, and Shen Wanru was naturally eager to do so. If she didn't leave, she would be angry to death sooner or later.

"Thank you for your concern, second sister. Since you have something to do, I can't force you to stay. You can go back first." Shen Wanru was eager to get rid of these annoying things so that she could discuss with her mother how to prevent the rumors about her from spreading and ruining her reputation.

Shen Wanxiu bowed to Shen Wanru, turned around and was about to leave with her maid.

Shen Wanzhu and Shen Wanxiu came together. Since Shen Wanxiu was leaving, she naturally wanted to leave with her. She also bowed to Shen Wanru and followed Shen Wanxiu with her maid. The moment they looked at each other, they saw gloating in each other's eyes.

Shen Wanru has always been aloof. Now that they have such a big handle in front of them, they will not let go of such a good opportunity. In this huge Shen Hou Mansion, there is more than just her who is talented and famous.

They had just taken a few steps when Nanny Zhu came in from outside. Seeing that everyone was in the room, she immediately bowed and saluted: "This old servant greets the young ladies. Second Miss, Third Miss, are you leaving now?"

Nanny Zhu was the head nanny of the Su family, and her status in the mansion was quite high. Shen Wanxiu and Shen Wanzhu naturally did not dare to accept the full greeting, so they all stepped aside and accepted half of the greeting.

Shen Wanxiu spoke first: "Madam Zhu, is there something wrong? We have disturbed Big Sister for a long time. Thinking that Big Sister is still injured, we are ready to go back."

Nanny Zhu nodded with a stern expression, but her eyes shifted slightly as she saw the two young ladies' faces. "Second Miss, Third Miss, you can't leave for now. The man who tampered with Fourth Miss and Eldest Miss's horses has been apprehended. Madam has just discovered that someone saw Third Miss's maid interacting with the servant who did the tampering, so Madam has asked the young ladies to go to Wutong Courtyard."

Shen Wanxiu and Shen Wanzhu were shocked and the smiles disappeared from their faces. They looked at Shen Wanru with different understandings, thinking that all this was related to her.

"Mammy, please catch the person who poisoned the horse. Why did he want to harm my eldest sister? Fortunately, my eldest sister is fine, otherwise I would never let him go." Shen Wanqing's voice was full of sincerity, which moved Mammy Zhu.

The Fourth Miss and the Eldest Miss were sisters from the same mother. They truly had a deep bond and were both incredibly kindhearted. Nanny Zhu was pleased, and her gaze towards her softened. "To answer the Fourth Miss, the criminal hasn't confessed yet, so it's unclear who is trying to harm you."

"Then when I see the bad guy later, I will definitely ask him why he did this?" Shen Wanqing's face was full of innocence.

Nanny Zhu nodded: "Of course you can."

Shen Wanqing was filled with joy. She turned around and grabbed Shen Wanru's hand. "Sister, let's go together and see who wanted to hurt you. Let him see that you are fine and he couldn't hurt you at all."

Nanny Zhu was just about to say that the eldest lady had injured her leg and was not suitable to walk, but she saw Shen Wanru standing there neatly, not looking like an injured person at all.

In just one day, even if a miracle doctor was hired, the young lady's injury could not have healed so quickly, or was it that the young lady was not injured in the first place... Nanny Zhu did not dare to think further, as she had seen all kinds of tricks used in the backyard of the mansion.

Shen Wanru could hide the truth from everyone, but she couldn't hide it from this old nanny who was only loyal to her mother. Judging from her expression, she was probably already clear about it.

Her voice was filled with shame. "Madame Zhu may not be very clear. I must have been frightened when I fell off my horse yesterday. My leg was only slightly injured. It should be fine, but Mother was worried about me. To prevent any further damage, she kept me in bed."

"I am but a servant. Young Miss, there is no need to explain anything to me. If you have any questions, please ask Madam to resolve them." Nanny Zhu was very well-behaved, and it was impossible to find fault with her. "Madam is waiting. Please follow me, young ladies."

Shen Wanru did not get the nanny's approval, and she hated this rigid nanny in her heart, but she did not show any dissatisfaction on her face, and was still as dignified as usual.

Outside the Wutong Courtyard, a servant, beaten and covered in blood, curled up on the ground. Su sat at the head of the group, looking majestic without even getting angry. It must have been quite capable and impressive to be able to manage such a large mansion.

Shen Wanru, proud of her noble status, naturally walked in front. Su Shi saw her immediately. She looked very happy and energetic, and her legs and feet were very flexible. She walked with a breeze, and she didn't look like someone who was seriously injured yesterday.

Su's heart sank, her face cold: "Ruru, what are you doing?"

Shen Wanqing had also fallen off her horse and into the water yesterday, and when she heard she had a high fever, her mind and eyes were all on Shen Wanru. Naturally, she had no energy to call a doctor for her, and had simply left her to fend for herself. Why had she knelt in her courtyard this morning to apologize? Seeing her haggard appearance, she felt a surge of apology. Seeing Shen Wanru was fine, she suddenly felt unhappy at having been deceived.

Su's tone was cold, and everyone present could hear it. Shen Wanru was also aware of it, and her eyes suddenly reddened. "Mother, it's true that my sister and I fell off the horse. As for whether I was injured, I will give you a reasonable explanation after this matter is over."

Su's face was filled with worry, but she knew that in this situation, it was not the right time to find out the truth about whether Ru'er was injured. After all, the eldest daughter was still there, and if the news got out, it would ruin Ru'er's reputation.

Su would naturally weigh the pros and cons. She pointed at the servant who was breathing heavily but not breathing, and said, "This is the man who tampered with your horse. Even if we use the family rules, he won't confess a word. And to this day, we still don't know who's behind him."

Shen Wanru smiled slightly and leaned in front of Su: "Mother, I have a plan that may make him speak."
