Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Shen Wanru was in a very good mood at this time. She didn't expect Shen Wanqing to really become a fool. She was happy to see Xuanyuan Qiaoer get humiliated. Those who went against her would never have a good ending, and Shen Wanqing was an example.

She was about to go forward and take a closer look when someone came.

Shen Yunlan and Su are here.

The first thing Shen Yunlan did when he entered the room was to ask the imperial physician to the study for questioning.

The imperial physician told Shen Wanqing the truth about her condition.

Although it was expected, Shen Yunlan still did not give up, "Is my daughter's illness really incurable? Is there any other way?"

"Please forgive me, Lord Hou. I am not knowledgeable enough to cure the Fourth Young Lady's illness."

He was an imperial physician who only treated the nobles in the emperor's family. If the emperor had not asked about it, he would not have come here just for a mere marquis's mansion.

"Did the prince ask you to take my daughter's pulse?"

"No, it's because the Emperor is worried about your Fourth Young Lady that he specifically asked about it."

Although Doctor Li was confused, he had never received any instructions from the prince.

Hearing this, Shen Yunlan felt very disappointed. The prince had already agreed to take Shen Wanqing into the Eastern Palace, so he should have shown some sincerity. But how could he not show any sincerity at all?

After sending Doctor Li away, Shen Wanru followed him out.

"Daddy, is there any cure for Fourth Sister's illness?"

Shen Yunlan was furious at the thought that the prince might have used him. He said coldly, "These matters are not your business."

Although he knew that the prince was using him, it was too late. He was the prince, what could he do to Yuwen Ze? Could he really force him to marry Shen Wanqing?

Shen Wanru has been spoiled since she was a child. When she was scolded by Shen Yunlan, she cursed Shen Wanqing in her heart. It was all because of her. Otherwise, why would her father scold her?

She came to Su's room, hugged Su's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom, you love me the most. This is such a good opportunity, you must help me."

"What good opportunity?" Su was confused by what Shen Wanru said.

"Fourth sister is in such a bad condition that she cannot marry into the Eastern Palace. Even if the Crown Prince agrees, marrying her into the Eastern Palace will bring shame to the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion doesn't only have Fourth sister. Don't we have me here? I can also support the Hou Mansion."

"How can this be possible?" Su felt that it was impossible when she heard it. The Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince had their eyes on Shen Wanqing, so how could they now ask Shen Wanru to marry into the Eastern Palace?

If someone with ulterior motives could report this, it would be enough for Lord Hou to make a living for a while. She didn't dare and couldn't gamble with the future of the entire Hou Mansion.

Shen Wanru was confused, but Su was not. Although she doted on her eldest daughter, she did not dare to act recklessly as it concerned the safety of the entire Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing Su's refusal without a second thought, Shen Wanru's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. "Last time in the palace, the Queen was magnanimous and didn't make a fuss about it. Why is Mother still harping on it? Besides, the Crown Prince is magnanimous and will certainly not mind my daughter's misbehavior in front of the Queen. I already know I was wrong and will think twice before acting in the future and will not make the same mistake again."

"If only it were as easy as you said. What kind of place do you think that is? It's the imperial palace, not a place where anyone can make mistakes?" Su snorted coldly, feeling a headache for her daughter.

"Mother, why don't you go and discuss this with Father first? Since Fourth Sister is out of luck, should we give up such a great opportunity to enter the Eastern Palace? If no one from our Hou Mansion enters the Eastern Palace this time, who can we rely on for the future prosperity of the Hou Mansion? I'm also making plans for the future of the Hou Mansion."

Su was still thinking about Shen Wanru's words when a servant came to report that the imperial edict from the palace had arrived.

Su brought Shen Wanru and everyone else in the mansion outside, waiting to receive the order.

Shen Yunlan was filled with joy. It seemed that the prince was a man of his words. He obtained the decree so quickly. She had indeed chosen the right person.

"Congratulations, my lord. I congratulate you!" The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict bowed and congratulated him repeatedly.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Shen Yunlan glanced at the imperial edict and was sure in his heart that it was an order from the emperor.

"However, my humble daughter is still ill and cannot come to receive the decree. Therefore, I will do it on your behalf. I hope you will understand."

The eunuch who delivered the decree hurriedly said, "No problem."

Everyone knelt down to listen to the order.

"By the providence of Heaven... I, now, seeing the fourth daughter of the Hou Mansion as intelligent, gentle, and of good character, am delighted to grant her the title of adopted sister to the Crown Prince. I hope she will observe the proper etiquette. I consider that as she grows older, the two of them will have the freedom to marry. I hope she finds a husband of her dreams and that we can live happily ever after. I decree this!"

"Isn't this an imperial decree granting marriage?" Shen Yunlan was confused.

Su was too embarrassed to believe it, she also thought it was an imperial decree granting marriage.

"We didn't say this was an imperial decree granting marriage!" The eunuch handed over the decree, "Please, Master Hou, accept the decree on behalf of the Fourth Young Lady!"

This imperial edict was not what he wanted, and Shen Yunlan did not want to accept it.

Just as he was hesitating whether to accept the order, Jing'er Chongchong came running over, knelt down and bowed respectfully, saying, "The young lady just woke up and asked me to accept the order on her behalf."

The young lady also repeatedly instructed that this imperial edict must not fall into the hands of others.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict just wanted to finish his task as soon as possible, so when he saw someone accepting the imperial edict, he handed it over without hesitation.

Jing'er took the imperial edict, bowed deeply and kowtowed to express her gratitude. Before everyone could react, she took the imperial edict back to Qingfeiyuan.

Shen Yunlan reacted and was so angry that he couldn't help it.

"This bastard!" Shen Yunlan trembled his fingers for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words with gritted teeth, but he didn't know who he was talking about.

The servant came running over, "Master, Master Du is here."

"Let him go back to where he came from."

Just when he was angry, Shen Yunlan thought about the imperial edict that had just been issued, which showed that it was not at all favorable to Du Zhijie.

The servant said with some embarrassment, "Master Du brought a miracle doctor who said he could cure the fourth young lady's illness."

"Oh, so that's it!"

Shen Yunlan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. It was like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! He had really underestimated him. The imperial edict had just arrived, and right after that, he showed up with the miracle doctor.

There is no such coincidence in the world. This miracle doctor came at the perfect time.

"Lord Shen, long time no see!"

A clear voice sounded, and everyone looked up to see Du Zhijie striding in.

The servant who wanted to stop him was forced to retreat again and again by his footsteps and did not dare to reach out to stop him.

Shen Yunlan became more and more angry and glared at the servant: "Waste!"

Unable to stop even one person, the gate of the mansion was useless in that man's eyes.

Du Zhijie had already walked up to him and bowed respectfully to Shen Yunlan. "That was the eunuch from the palace delivering the imperial edict, right? I guess the Lord Hou must have received the imperial edict."

He is asking even though he already knows the answer.

Shen Yunlan was angered by him again, and said with a sullen face: "Du Zhijie, are you here to show off today?"

"No, no." Du Zhijie shook his head. He said he didn't dare, but his face was full of joy. "It was really a bit hasty to come here today. I will come to apologize to the Marquis in the future."
