Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 7 Blackmailing Mother

Seeing that Su Shi didn't refute, Shen Wanru glanced at the servant who was curled up on the ground. Although his face was blurred after being beaten, she said, "This You Ding was sold to our house when he was young. At that time, he only had a mother. We took pity on him and kept him and his mother here. If he refuses to talk, then bring his old mother here. He is young and strong, so he won't be afraid of the stick, but his mother is old, so it's hard to say."

Su frowned slightly. It was too cruel to attack an old and frail man. If this matter were to be spread, it would damage the reputation of the Hou Mansion.

As soon as Shen Wanru finished speaking, the dying person on the ground begged for mercy, "Please, Madam, Miss, have mercy on me. My old mother is old and in poor health. She can't stand the torture. This is all my fault. If you want to punish me, come to me."

"There's no reason for you to take all the good things in the world. If you want to protect your mother, just confess the truth. I can't guarantee that your elderly mother can withstand a few blows."

Shen Wanxiu frowned slightly. There was fighting and killing, and two lives were at stake. The servant deserved to die for murdering his master, but his mother was innocent. She wanted to step forward and plead for mercy, but Su's restraining look stopped her.

"Ruru, your idea is good, but... it's good to give your sister justice, but... well, bring her mother along."

Shen Wanqing still had some illusions about her mother, but as soon as she said it, she knew that Su was probably going to take the blame for Shen Wanru. Sure enough, in her heart, Shen Wanru was the most important.

She had originally intended to show Su Shi her true colors today, but she hadn't anticipated Su Shi's fondness for her. It seemed she couldn't hurt Shen Wanru in the slightest, and for a moment, she lost interest. Even though she was here, she had no interest in what was going to happen next.

When the servant on the ground heard that his old mother was going to be brought here, he no longer concealed the truth and said frankly that it was the maidservant beside the third lady Shen Wanzhu who asked him to tamper with the horses of the fourth lady and the eldest lady.

Since Shen Wanzhu was a suspect, the Su family would not let her go. Shen Wanxiu brought the news to the first wife, who would naturally not stand idly by. The first wife had always had a rift with the Su family, and their relationship was well known. Because of this incident, they could not cause any disturbance.

Su Wanqing returned to her Qingfei Pavilion. Although what happened today was within her expectations, she still felt a little sad. As a daughter of the Su family, why was the Su family not treating her half as well as Shen Wanru?

"Hasn't the young lady always had a deep relationship with the eldest young lady? Why did you let her and Xiang'er do those things today?" Tao'er poured a cup of tea for Shen Wanqing. Finally, she couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and expressed her thoughts.

Shen Wanqing smiled faintly, coming back to her senses. She had let the two little girls tamper with Shen Wanru's white curtain today, predicting that her beloved elder sister would feel guilty and afraid after walking too much at night. Sure enough, she was right.

The maids in her room are loyal to her. She will have many more competitions with Shen Wanru in the future, so she cannot hide it from them. Letting them know earlier will make it easier for her to act in the future.

"Tao'er, Jing'er, Xiang'er, don't be surprised at anything I do to your elder sister in the future. Ever since I fell off my horse and fell into the water and narrowly escaped death, I realized clearly that your elder sister is not really good to me. She is just doing superficial work. She treats me well only to make everyone think she is kind. I am just a scapegoat for her." She said it very clearly so that these girls would also know the true face of the eldest lady and not be used as a gun without knowing it.

She thought it would take the girls some time to process what she had said, but they were more excited than she had imagined. The usually calm Jing'er even said with approval, "Miss, you've finally seen the young lady's true colors. I've always told you to be careful with her and not to trust her in everything. But you didn't believe me at the time, thinking I was trying to ruin your relationship. Now you've come to your senses. I'm so happy for you."

"Well, I see."

What happened today was just an appetizer. There will be many more such things in the future. She doesn't believe that she can take down Shen Wanru in one or two times.

She will definitely get better and better in the future. Only in this way can she and him become a perfect match made in heaven.

It will not be like the last life, when he married her and she became a stain on his life as a wise and mighty general.

Shen Wanqing had no idea how Shen Wanru explained to Su about her pretending to be seriously injured. However, since that day, the family never mentioned the fact that she pretended to be injured, as if it had never happened. It seemed that Su had specifically instructed her to do so.

But since that day, Su had sent quite a few things to her courtyard, including clothes, jewelry, decent headwear, rouge, powder, etc. Although they couldn't compare to what Shen Wanru used, they were much better than before.

Shen Wanqing didn't care about these things. She couldn't make up for the debt she'd owed over the past decade with these things. It was just that she was weak, having fallen into the water and developed a high fever yesterday, and she hadn't recovered yet. Today, Su had sent her some precious medicinal herbs, which reminded her of something. Judging by the time, the miracle doctor would probably appear in the next few days.

In this life, she would definitely not miss it. She called Jing'er and told her, "Go to the East Market these few days to see if there is an old man with a white beard selling medicine and treating patients there. If there is, you must return home and inform me immediately. I must keep this in mind."

A few days passed peacefully. One morning, a maid came to report that the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works had arrived.

The Minister of Works is Shen Wanqing's aunt's family. This young lady is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works Su Cheng. Her name is Xuanyuan Qiaoer. She is a girl with a carefree personality and is also Shen Wanqing's only good friend in her previous life.

She and Shen Wanru are both cousins ​​of Xuanyuan Qiaoer, but this person is only close to her and can never get close to Shen Wanru.

She remembered asking her the reason, and Xuanyuan Qiaoer said that she always felt uncomfortable with Shen Wanru, especially her eyes, which always gave people the illusion of being targeted by a hunter.

Now that I think about it, Xuanyuan Qiaoer, who didn't often come into contact with Shen Wanru, knew that she was a person with bad intentions, but I, who was with Shen Wanru every day, didn't see the reason behind it.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er was the one who pleaded for her after she was imprisoned by Shen Wanru, and she was also her only true friend. Seeing each other again in this life, Shen Wanqing's eyes were slightly red.

As soon as Xuanyuan Qiao'er saw her, she took her hand affectionately and said, "Qing'er, I heard that you and Shen Wanru went horseback riding and fell off. Are you hurt? I wanted to come see you a few days ago, but my mother stopped me. She said she had to do needlework and that I was old enough to get married. If I continued to be so willful, no good family would want me in the future."
