Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Since she had achieved her goal, Shen Wanxiu no longer had any need to confront the Queen, so she naturally let the matter go.

The two sisters chatted for a while and then parted ways. After Shen Wanqing came out of Shen Wanxiu's yard, she saw that it was still early, so she thought of going to see how the decoration of her restaurant was going, and to see her master as well. She had been busy recently and hadn't seen him for some time.

She first came to the clinic she opened and saw that there were many people seeing the doctor. The master was very busy and there was a long line in front of his table.

Shen Wanqing did not go in. She stood at the door of the clinic for a while and then left. Going in to greet the master at this time would only distract him and waste his time.

She stomped over to the restaurant again and saw that the decoration inside had been completed. All that was left was to add tables and chairs.

She came to the restaurant opened by the prince and ordered a few small dishes and dim sum. But then Du Zhijie sat down opposite her.

Shen Wanqing looked at the uninvited guest, ignored him, picked up a piece of rose cake and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully for a few times, but stopped because of the sweetness of the cake.

Seeing this, Du Zhijie smiled and put the pastries away.

At this moment, Shen Wanqing suddenly raised her head, looked at Du Zhijie with a firm gaze, and said, "Du Zhijie, why don't you marry me?"

Du Zhijie was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "Miss Shen, I should be the one proposing marriage, how can you be so careless?"

Shen Wanqing bit her lip and asked again: "Are you willing or not?"

Du Zhijie was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Miss Shen, I'm not your beloved, so don't put your mind on me."

Seeing his answer like this, Shen Wanqing's heart tightened. She misunderstood his meaning and said angrily, "My situation is so different from that of my second sister. She can win the heart of the second prince, but I can't even get your true heart."

Seeing his beloved's misunderstanding, Du Zhijie quickly tried to persuade her: "Miss Shen, please don't compare like this. Things are still uncertain and no one can predict what the future will be like."

As a military general, it is his destiny to fight for his country and he doesn't want to make her sad because of him.

Seeing that Du Zhijie still hadn't expressed his opinion, Shen Wanqing deliberately mentioned that the Queen had shown her kindness, hoping to stimulate Du Zhijie.

Du Zhijie frowned, "Ms. Shen, don't be blinded by power. That's not true."

When Shen Wanqing heard this, she was immediately furious and raised her fist to hit Du Zhijie. However, at this moment, other guests in the teahouse cast curious glances at her. Shen Wanqing then realized her loss of composure and quickly put her hand down, trying to cover up her embarrassment by adjusting her hair bun.

At this moment, the hairpin on her head suddenly fell off. Du Zhijie was quick to catch it.

A blush crept onto Shen Wanqing's face. She stood up angrily and turned to leave. Du Zhijie followed closely behind her, two steps behind.

This little girl has a bit of a temper...

He curled the corners of his lips slightly and slowly followed.

Shen Wanqing didn't walk fast, and he caught up with her in a few steps, but he just didn't move forward and lagged behind her by two steps.

Jing'er hurried forward to remind her, "Miss, how about we wait for Master Du?"

"Why are we waiting for him? It's not like he can't find his way back home." Shen Wanqing snorted coldly and continued walking forward.

Du Zhijie caught up with Shen Wanqing when they reached the carriage. He took out a pack of fresh meat patties from his pocket and handed them to her. "I know you don't like sweets. Try this meat pie and don't starve yourself."

Su Jinzhu was angry and said, "I want to go to Ci'an Temple to practice. I don't want this cake."

Du Zhijie looked helpless and stood there at a loss. At this time, Jing'er came forward, took the cake, and said, "Mr. Du, I accept this cake on behalf of the young lady."

Shen Wanqing got on the carriage and drove away.

She was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Shen. Even though it was rumored that her background was ominous, it was so easy for her to become a nun. She was just saying it out of anger at the time.

But Shen Wanqing really wanted to become a nun, at least she wouldn’t have to marry the prince.

She still had some time to plan for this moment. Today, she didn't expect Du Zhijie to actually agree to marry her; she was just testing his feelings. Although the result was not satisfactory, it was impossible for her to give up just like that.

After returning to the mansion, Shen Wanqing was invited to dinner by Su's maid before she could recover from her shock.

At the dinner table, Su looked at Shen Wanqing with a loving face and kept picking up food for her.

There were only a few dishes on the table, but there weren't many that she liked, and there were even a few that she couldn't eat. It seemed that Su had never paid attention to what she liked to eat or what she was allergic to, so today's meal was actually quite funny.

It seems that Su's maternal love is really nothing.

Shen Wanqing was somewhat flattered by the favor from Su.

"Qing'er, eat more. You've become thinner these days." The more Su looked at Shen Wanqing, the more she liked her.

It is a great honor for her to be able to catch the prince's eye.

When Shen Wanru saw this, she was filled with resentment and said sarcastically, "Sister, you are trapped by love, right? I heard that you and the Second Prince fell into the water, and it really caused a lot of trouble in the city."

Shen Wanqing was unhappy in her heart, but she still said calmly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, it's just an accident."

Shen Wanqing glanced at her and concealed the coldness in her eyes.

I don't have time to deal with her right now, so let her enjoy herself for a few days. I'll come back and pay attention to her after I've resolved this big issue.

Then, Shen Wanqing said, "Tomorrow I want to go to Lingyin Temple to draw lots and pray for my family."

Su nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go."

When Shen Wanru heard this, she hurriedly said, "Sister, I want to go too."

Shen Wanqing said calmly, "Sister, please stay in the mansion. I want to be alone and quiet for a while."

"Why are you causing trouble? Just stay at home for the next few days and let your temper be tempered." Su glared at her reproachfully, "If you were half as sensible as Qing'er, you would save me a lot of worry!"

Both were her daughters. One was someone she had nurtured since childhood, but now she was repeatedly making a fool of herself. The other, whom she had never paid attention to, had caught the eye of the Queen and the Crown Prince.

This little daughter has brought honor to the Hou family.

Jiang thought that this little daughter might be able to bring a better future to the family.

Everyone has different thoughts while eating a meal. Shen Wanqing didn't eat many bites. As soon as she lay down, she felt her stomach growling.

"Jing'er, don't you have anything to eat?"

"There are meat patties here." Jing'er handed the meat pie to Shen Wanqing and made her a pot of tea.

Shen Wanqing took it and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Didn't the young lady say she wanted to become a nun? A nun can't eat meat, right?" Jing'er couldn't help but joked.

"I'm not that stupid! I was just talking!"

Shen Wanqing took another bite of the meat pie and spoke incoherently.
