Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

On the next morning, Su had indeed prepared incense, candles, paper money, various fruits and pastries, and even the incense money.

Jing'er was busy packing various things with an excited glow on her face. Who wouldn't be happy if she wanted to stay in the house all the time and go out for some fresh air occasionally?

"Madam is so thoughtful. She has prepared everything. It seems that Madam still loves Miss."

Shen Wanqing just smiled.

Su's love seemed a little deliberate.

The carriage slowly arrived at the city gate and could only leave the city gate after being inspected by the guards at the gate.

Shen Wanqing lifted the curtain and looked outside. She saw a guard at the city gate who looked familiar, and couldn't help but take a closer look.

The guard noticed Shen Wanqing's gaze and nodded slightly as a greeting. His eyes revealed a hint of anxiety, as if he was waiting for something.

"Jing'er, come and take a look." Shen Wanqing pulled Jing'er to her side and asked, "Is that guard from the Du Mansion?"

Unfortunately, the guard had turned around, and Jing'er could only see his back. She nodded uncertainly, "There is some resemblance, but I can't be sure."

It is not surprising that he is a guard from the Du Mansion. After all, the Du Mansion is in charge of the affairs here.

Shen Wanqing raised her eyebrows: "That makes sense."

Shen Wanqing put the matter of the guard behind her and didn't care whether he was a guard of the Du Mansion. Even if Du Zhijie was standing here today, what did it have to do with her?

She was thinking along the way, but fortunately she reached her destination quickly.

Although Lingyin Temple is a temple, it does not receive many visitors on weekdays, making it appear rather quiet.

However, Shen Wanqing didn't come here to join in the crowds. When she arrived at the eunuch hall, she asked the Taoist nun to lead her to burn incense. After offering sacrifices to the statue, she found that it was already late and had to stay overnight.

After all, Lingyin Temple was outside the city, sparsely populated, and traveling at night was unsafe, especially since they were all women. For safety reasons, she decided to stay overnight.

After the carriage left, the guards of the Du Mansion immediately galloped straight to the Du Mansion. He told Du Zhijie the news that Shen Wanqing had gone to the temple. Du Zhijie frowned, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He thought it was just a girl's angry words. How dare she.

"Is she really going to the temple to burn incense?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Du Zhijie's voice.

"Yes, Major General. Miss Shen set out early in the morning. I heard that she was going to Lingyin Temple outside the city to burn incense." The guard was very sure that it was Shen Wanqing. He would not be wrong.

Du Zhijie was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and ordered, "Prepare the horses, I'm going to Lingyin Temple."

The guard was stunned for a moment, then immediately retreated. Du Zhijie's heart was in turmoil. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "She really is a man of her word."

This wasn't about burning incense, it was clearly about becoming a nun. How audacious! With Du Zhijie around, she couldn't possibly dream of becoming a nun in this lifetime.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him." Du Zhijie ordered with a cold face, "Go and send a message to the Second Prince to see where he is. Forget it, I will go find him myself, you just keep an eye on Lingyin Temple."

He could only pray in his heart, fortunately the Taoist nun was just practicing with her hair uncut, otherwise he would have had time to stop her that day.

Du Zhijie stopped the Second Prince on his way out and said without any courtesy, "Quickly pack your things and take your fiancée to Lingyin Temple."

"What?" Second Prince Yuwen Yi was confused. "What are you going to Lingyin Temple for?"

After being asked by Yuwen Yi, he calmed down a bit, "Miss Shen Si is your fiancée's cousin, you can't just watch her do stupid things."

Yuwen Yi was a little more pleased after hearing this. Could it be that this young general, who appeared cold but was actually warm-hearted, would one day worry about the girl?

"Looking at your expression, is there a girl who is mad at you and wants to become a nun?" Yuwen Yi was not in a hurry anymore and couldn't help but teasing him.

As expected, he was met with a cold stare as soon as he said this.

Seeing that his friend ignored him, Yuwen Yi said in a gentle voice, "I don't think that girl would become a nun. She and my fiancée both caught the Queen's eye. But now that Miss Shen Er has been appointed to me, that leaves Miss Shen Si, the future Crown Princess. Who would be so foolish as to become a nun when she can rule the Eastern Palace?"

"Oh!" Du Zhijie sneered, "Do you think everyone is willing to marry out of the Eastern Palace? Then why are you and your fiancée still scheming? Yuwen Yi, do you think all women in the world are willing to marry someone they don't like for the sake of power and wealth?"

"Did you also help with Xiu'er and me?"

"Now that you know, you have to help me today."

If he hadn't helped persuade Master Tong to fake the affair between him and Shen Wanxiu, their affair wouldn't have been possible. All of this was arranged by Du Zhijie.

He naturally knew that with the prince's personality, the Eastern Palace was not a good place for him to be. Later, he found out that Shen Wanqing was involved, so he helped him.

Seeing him like this, Yuwen Yi couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It seems that you have really fallen for her. In all these years, I have never seen you so concerned about a girl. It seems that you have fallen in love with her."

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, you're still saying no, you're just being stubborn." Yuwen Yi shook his head and joked, "If you have someone in your heart, then marry her into the mansion as soon as possible. Before the Crown Prince notices, you have to act quickly, otherwise you will really become the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace."

Du Zhijie still had a cold face, his lips tightly pursed, and he said nothing.

The prince is not her beloved, and in fact, he is not either.

The General's Mansion seems to be extremely powerful now, but in reality it is always suspected by those above it. Every step is taken with trepidation, fearing that disaster will happen one day.

Although the Marquis was a civil official, he had a noble status and controlled half of the court.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, and he is the Major General of the General's Mansion. If they get married, it will not just be a matter between the two of them. It is hard to say what the two families are planning in the eyes of those people.

The general's mansion is now under suspicion, and she will be a thorn in the eyes of others. She will not be able to live a peaceful life if she marries him, and she will be burdened by him.

The guard who went to deliver the message came back and said only that Miss Shen Er had agreed to go to Lingyin Temple, but the incident happened suddenly today, so she could only wait until tomorrow.

Yuwen Yi patted his friend and said, "There's no need to rush. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. After all, I won't let your beloved become a monk."

"Okay." Du Zhijie nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

"Don't be so distant with me."

Shen Wanqing, who was at Lingyin Temple, was naturally unaware of Du Zhijie's actions. She stayed overnight at the Taoist temple and set off for the city early the next morning.
