Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

In his previous life, the Second Prince was well-behaved and had no rebellious intentions. However, when Yuwen Ze came to power, he swept away all obstacles in his way. Like the General's Mansion, the Second Prince's Mansion was brutally destroyed.

Although Shen Wanqing wanted the second prince to ascend to that throne, she had no idea what he himself thought. After all, the second prince in his previous life was not interested in that throne.

If she wanted to keep the General's Mansion, she had to let the Second Prince ascend the throne. The breakthrough point that could convince the Second Prince was the Second Prince's Consort Shen Wanxiu.

Soon the day of the second prince's wedding arrived, and Su brought Shen Wanqing to congratulate him.

Although the wedding date was set hastily, the Imperial Household Department made very thorough preparations, and all the ceremonies were carried out in a grand manner according to regulations.

On the day of the wedding, the second prince personally rode a horse to the Shen Mansion to pick up the bride, and took his wedding sedan and ten miles of red makeup around the city, so that everyone in the capital could see how much he valued Shen Wanxiu.

Shen Wanqing looked at this grand wedding and felt happy for Shen Wanxiu.

After all the complicated etiquette is completed, the guests can take their seats.

Because it was the prince's wedding, all the dignitaries in Kyoto were present. Not only that, the crown prince also personally presented a gift, and with him was the new bride, the crown prince's concubine Shen Wanru.

It seems that Yuwen Ze treats Shen Wanru quite well. After all, he brings her to such occasions, which shows that he still loves her quite a bit.

Shen Wanru took Yu Wen Ze's hand and glanced at the guests at the table. She felt that these people were envious of her, and this feeling of superiority made her very proud.

The Crown Prince didn't interact much with the Second Prince, so he left after a short while, leaving Shen Wanru to stay. She looked around and finally sat at the table that belonged to the Shen family.

Seeing that she was left alone, Su Shi was somewhat disapproving, "Your status is different now. His Highness has gone back, so why are you still staying?"

"Mother." Shen Wanru sat down next to Su. "I asked His Highness to help me. I said I missed mother. It's a rare day for us to meet today, and I wanted to talk to her. Fourth sister is here too, and our family is reunited. I haven't seen her for several days, and I miss her a lot."

Shen Wanqing didn't intend to respond, but just smiled at her politely.

Shen Wanru stayed just to show off her status to everyone else. Now that she was a member of the Prince's Mansion, she always felt that her status was superior to others.

Everyone around her ignored her and few people talked to her.

The eldest daughter of the Marquis's family marrying into the Eastern Palace as a concubine was a novelty. Everyone was whispering about her, spreading rumors among themselves. Everyone present had a general idea of ​​what was going on. Furthermore, she hadn't been shy when she returned home that day, and everyone knew about it.

The nobles in the capital naturally looked down on people like her who used despicable means to get to the top, and naturally disdained to communicate with her. Even the way they looked at her was full of ridicule.

"Using such shameless means, you are just a concubine, what's there to show off."

"After all, she comes from a prominent family, yet she is so virtuous. It seems that the mistress of this Hou Mansion is not much better."

Everyone at the table was talking in low voices, glancing at Shen Wanru and Su with disdain from time to time, not hiding their disdain at all.

Although the discussion was quiet, Shen Wanru and Su heard it clearly.

These gossipy women are really full of themselves. So what if she used shameful means? She must have the capital to do so!

Shen Wanru raised her eyebrows proudly, reached out to pick up a piece of dessert, and deliberately pulled up her sleeves to reveal the pair of jade bracelets on her wrists. The jade bracelets were green all over and crystal clear.

The few people who were discussing her just now couldn't help but sigh when they saw it: "A bracelet of this quality must be very expensive!"

Shen Wanru pretended to glance at it casually, raised her head and stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "It's just a small gift from His Highness. I have many more, all kinds of them. I worry every day about which one to wear."

A helpless look appeared on her face, and every word she said seemed to be showing off.

However, the jewelry she wore on her head today was indeed exquisite and luxurious, each piece was priceless, and it really made people envious.

Su was still feeling unhappy because of everyone's discussion, but now she moved closer to touch the exquisite jewelry, smiling, "I am relieved that you are so favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Mother, I have also prepared some gifts for you. I will bring them to you when I return home in two days." Shen Wanru said hurriedly.

She said it as a matter of course. Yanran looked like a newlywed couple and had long forgotten that she was just a lowly concubine and there was no such thing as returning to her parents' home.

Su Shi didn't even notice anything wrong. Instead, she nodded happily and said, "You are thoughtful, but now that you are married, you must put your husband first."

The two of them sang in unison, obviously getting carried away by their success.

Shen Wanqing just watched coldly from the side and ignored it.

Halfway through the meal, a maid came over to invite Shen Wanqing, "Fourth Miss, the Second Prince wants you to have a chat with her in the bridal chamber."

Shen Wanqing was not surprised. After all, she and Shen Wanxiu had always been good friends. Moreover, she had just married into the Second Prince's mansion, so it was understandable that she wanted to find someone to talk to to relieve her boredom. So she stood up and left with the maid.

The Second Prince's Mansion was quite large. Shen Wanqing followed the maid out of the flower hall, through the corridor and came to the backyard. However, the way the maid led her was not to the backyard, but to somewhere else.

not good!

Shen Wanqing realized something was wrong and turned around to go back.

As soon as she turned around, she bumped into a familiar embrace.

"it's me."

Hearing the sound, Shen Wanqing's nervous expression suddenly relaxed. She thought Du Zhijie was deliberately teasing her, so she got angry. "I thought there was an explosion just now. I was scared to death. I wish it was you..."

Who knew that the maid brought her here to see Du Zhijie? But even if it was his intention, there was no need to make it so mysterious. She was still shocked.

Du Zhijie held her hand and said gently, "I didn't instruct this maid to do this. She deliberately led you the wrong way. I just happened to be here, otherwise you wouldn't have escaped this disaster today."

The maid who led her was caught by guard Du Zhijie. Du Zhijie looked at her coldly and asked condescendingly, "Who sent you here?"

"Slave, slave............."

The maid stammered and couldn't speak clearly.

Du Zhijie snorted coldly.

The maid was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her voice was full of fear: "This servant does not understand what the general means. The Second Prince's wife is still waiting for this servant. Please let this servant go."

Since the Second Prince's wife was waiting for her, but she took the wrong path, it sounded like something was wrong.

Today is the second prince's wedding day, so it is not appropriate to see blood. This is also a good place for interrogation. Du Zhijie did not waste any more words and asked the guards to take the maid away and wait for him to return for interrogation.
