The second prince asked her if she ever regretted marrying him.

Shen Wanxiu just shook her head firmly. How could she regret being able to accompany her beloved through life and death?

"Fourth sister?"

Shen Wanxiu stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Ah?" Shen Wanqing came back to her senses, and seeing Shen Wanxiu's concerned eyes, she secretly swore in her heart.

Since God has allowed her to live again, she will definitely protect the people around her in this life, and will not let those who have hurt her have an easy time!

In the previous life, the embezzlement of disaster relief funds in Huainan was not exposed, and the prince was not implicated. But in this life, it was exposed, and the prince even received the emperor's punishment for it.

Everything is developing in a good direction. Since these things can be changed, she must change all the tragedies in this life.

As long as everything is planned well, she can save the General's Mansion, save Du Zhijie, save the Second Prince, save Shen Wanxiu, and save all the people she cherishes.

Shen Wanqing regained her composure and said with a smile, "I've prepared a gift. Come and see if you like it, Second Sister."

The two of them went to the flower hall in the outer room. Shen Wanqing's gift was placed on the table. She pointed to the red box and motioned Shen Wanxiu to open it herself.

"Very beautiful!" Shen Wanxiu opened the brocade box and uttered a compliment. She carefully took out the item inside and admired it carefully. "This is the first time I've seen earrings with such exquisite workmanship. Fourth sister, have you brought your own dowry?"

"It's too early for my trousseau, you wishful thinking!" Shen Wanqing joked, then explained, "This is one I spent a long time choosing. After buying it, I added some processing myself, thinking that Second Sister would like it."

Shen Wanxiu happily accepted the earrings and wanted to hug her and kiss her twice. She promised, "Fourth sister, when you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift."

"Then thank you, second sister."

Shen Wanqing smiled and blessed, and the two smiled at each other.

After attending Shen Wanxiu's dowry ceremony, Shen Wanqing returned to Hou Mansion when it was almost dark. She had just gotten off the carriage and was blocked at the door by Shen Wanru before she entered the mansion.

Shen Wanru looked her up and down, a hint of sarcasm hanging on the corner of her mouth: "Oh, aren't you going to add makeup to your second sister? Look at the way you are dressed, do you think you are the bride?"

Shen Wanqing frowned slightly and replied softly, "Eldest sister, you're joking. Today is Second Sister's big day, and I'm just dressing up a little to show respect." Then, she turned aside and tried to enter the house. But Shen Wanru was relentless, blocking her way: "What? You don't even bother to talk to me now? Don't you think about your status? You went to the Second Prince's house and you don't even know your own name?"

Shen Wanqing took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said, "Eldest sister, I'm tired and don't want to argue with you."

Shen Wanru sneered, "Humph, you're really good at being lazy. Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're so popular outside, it's not your turn to be in the spotlight in this mansion."

Shen Wanqing sighed helplessly, "Eldest sister, I had no intention of showing off. I just chatted with the Second Prince and his ladies about poetry and songs, and discussed needlework and embroidery. I never thought I would make you so unhappy."

Shen Wanru sneered, "Are you trying to show off those little tricks in front of everyone to gain a reputation as a talented woman?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head slightly: "Sister, you misunderstood. I just shared some experiences with my friends and didn't mean anything else." But Shen Wanru didn't listen to her explanation at all, and still had a sarcastic look on her face.

Shen Wanqing ignored her and walked straight into the house.

At this time, Su was sitting in the hall with a gloomy face.

"Kneel down!" Su shouted angrily.

Shen Wanqing trembled, but still knelt down as she was told.

"Do you know your mistake?" Su's voice was full of severity.

Shen Wanqing bit her lip and whispered, "I don't know what I did wrong."

Su slammed the table. "How dare you talk back! You went to the Second Prince's residence and had a grand conversation with those ladies, making it known to everyone. How disrespectful! Where does this Marquisate's reputation stand?"

Shen Wanqing raised her head, her eyes full of grievance: "My daughter was just having some fun with them, and she didn't do anything inappropriate."

"You still dare to quibble!" Su stood up and walked over to Shen Wanqing. "Your elder sister said that you were boastful at the wedding, completely disregarding your status. Is that true?"

Shen Wanqing looked at Shen Wanru and saw that she looked very proud.

"My daughter has never had such thoughts. Why does my elder sister want to frame me like this?" Shen Wanqing didn't want to pay any attention to the mother and daughter at all.

Su snorted coldly, "How could your elder sister lie? It must be you who is being shameless and bringing disgrace to the Marquisate."

She would not be sad if she was wronged, misunderstood, or distrusted, but she and Shen Wanru were sisters, both daughters of the Su family, so why did she treat herself like this?

Shen Wanqing's expression was cold. "Mother, why do you always favor my eldest sister and refuse to listen to my explanation?"

"Explain? What's there to explain? From today on, you must reflect on yourself in your room. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the room." After saying this, Su turned away.

Shen Wanru walked up to her and said softly, "Sister, this is not my fault. It's your fault for always being so ungrateful."

Shen Wanqing glared at her fiercely, but Shen Wanru smiled and left.

"Miss, they are too bullying?" Jing'er looked at Su and Shen Wanru who were leaving, her face full of anger.

"It doesn't matter. She won't be happy for a few days." A fierce look flashed in Shen Wanqing's eyes. She had wanted to spend a few days of peace and quiet in the Hou Mansion, but she didn't expect that there would always be some blind people disturbing her.

Now Su can no longer interfere in her marriage, but she is still her mother after all, so she cannot be too unreasonable.

"Miss, please rest early. It's not worth worrying about that person."

Shen Wanqing nodded and turned back to her boudoir. She was in a low mood and went to bed without eating much of her dinner.

She was obviously in a good mood today, but unfortunately her good mood was ruined by Shen Wanru as soon as she entered the door. It seemed that she had to marry into the general's mansion as soon as possible. She didn't want to stay here for a single day.

That night, Shen Wanqing was having trouble falling asleep when she suddenly heard a slight noise outside the window. She stood up alertly and walked to the window to check. She saw a dark shadow flash by.

Shen Wanqing was shocked. Could it be that a bad guy had entered the Hou Mansion? She just opened the door and wanted to check.

Du Zhijie flashed in.

"Why are you here?" Shen Wanqing's face was full of surprise.

"I missed you and came to see you." Du Zhijie stretched out his arms and pulled Shen Wanqing into his arms.

I was feeling aggrieved just now, but now leaning in Du Zhijie's arms, I was filled with joy.

"Look, what did I bring you?"

Du Zhijie carefully packed the oil paper, and several meat patties appeared in front of Shen Wanqing.

She took it, her eyes curved, her heart warmed. It felt so good to be thought of by someone.

The two talked for a while, and then Du Zhijie slipped out of the window, truly living up to the saying that he came and went without a trace.

Shen Wanqing was also helpless about this, because the other person only knew some kung fu.
