Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 81 The Suspicious Maid

Shen Wanqing also had a general idea at this time. It seemed that she had misunderstood Du Zhijie.

"Don't think about it, I'll take care of it." Du Zhijie hugged her, "Trust me."

"This is the Second Prince's residence. Anyone who dares to act so brazenly here must be of high status."

Among the guests here today, the only one who could act in this way is Crown Prince Yuwen Ze. If this maidservant is the Crown Prince's, what is the purpose of bringing her here?

He just wanted to harm her, or use her to frame the Second Prince.

No matter which one it is, Shen Wanqing is a victim, which makes her feel a little scared.

"Okay, it's all over. I will take care of it." Du Zhijie comforted softly.

His voice always made her feel at ease. Shen Wanqing nodded, "You should pay more attention to the prince. You should be careful when it comes to anything involving him."

The prince in the previous life was the culprit who massacred the entire general's mansion.

Du Zhijie patted her hand and led her out, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Being the final winner in the previous life, he was definitely not a simple person.

Du Zhijie took Shen Wanqing by the hand, but did not go to the flower hall. Shen Wanqing asked in confusion: "Where are we going?"

"Didn't you say you were going to see the bride?" Du Zhijie said with a smile, "That maid might have deliberately led us the wrong way, but the message should be correct."

There was a maid guarding outside the new owner's yard. She was allowed in only after she and Du Zhijie explained their purpose. The maid led the way to the door of the new house.

The door lintel is decorated with red silk, and big red wedding characters are pasted on both sides of the door, which makes it look very festive.

When Du Zhijie saw this scene, he thought that his wedding with Shen Wanqing must have been just as joyous. Then he looked at the woman in front of him, her eyes filled with tender smiles.

"Come in quickly!"

Du Zhijie's voice was hoarse, and the affection in his eyes was undisguised.

Shen Wanqing let go of Du Zhijie's hand and opened the door.

A maid heard the noise and came out, asking in surprise, "Fourth Miss, why are you here?"

Shen Wanqing came back to her senses: "Second sister sent someone to ask me to accompany her."

"The Second Young Lady has never sent anyone to deliver a message!" The maid was puzzled, but still led her into the inner room.

After she told Shen Wanxiu about this, Shen Wanxiu also felt incredible.

"Can you see clearly which maid said this?"

"No, this is my first time meeting her too." Shen Wanqing thought about it carefully and shook her head. "But this is also a good thing. Someone is ordering the maid in your room around, which means there's a traitor here. You'd better be on guard against her in the future."

Shen Wanxiu understood instantly that someone was clearly using her as a gun. She was a little scared and hurried to check if Shen Wanqing was injured.

Shen Wanqing hurriedly said: "I'm fine, that maid is timid. I found something wrong and questioned her. She ran away when she saw that something was wrong."

"I'm relieved that you're okay." Shen Wanxiu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried just now.

Today is her wedding day, and it should be a happy occasion, but she is afraid of a false alarm.

Shen Wanqing felt a little guilty and hurriedly comforted her, "Today is Second Sister's wedding day. I shouldn't have told you this. I was just worried that you didn't understand the other people's intentions in the room, so I told you so that you can be prepared in advance."

"I know you mean well. Let's not talk about these bad things."

Shen Wanxiu chuckled and pulled Shen Wanqing to sit on the soft couch beside her.

Putting this matter aside for now, she would thoroughly investigate the background of the people in the room after the wedding. The fact that someone could reach into the Second Prince's mansion meant that the defenses were too lax and needed to be properly rectified.

Shen Wanxiu thought for a moment, took a jade pendant from Shen Wanqing, and said with a smile, "If I need anything in the future, I'll send someone with this jade pendant to pass on the message. As for anyone else, don't believe anything they say if they don't have a token in their hand."

Nothing happened this time, but I’m afraid it will happen again.

Shen Wanqing thought this idea was very good and agreed with a smile. She looked at Shen Wanxiu's bun again and found that she was wearing a gorgeous phoenix crown today and could not take it off as a token of love.

So she held out her hand: "Why don't you give me a token of your love, Second Sister?"

However, Shen Wanqing suspected that the Crown Prince was behind this, and that he would not only target her but would also target the people in the Second Prince's residence. So, whether it was Shen Wanxiu or her, this kind of thing must not happen again.

Shen Wanxiu naturally agreed and asked the maid to bring a stack of exquisite bracelets. She took out one with a small bell and gave it to Shen Wanqing.

"This is the thousand-ring bracelet I usually wear. There's an embroidered word engraved on the inner ring."

Shen Wanqing leaned closer to look for it, and indeed saw a thin "An" character. This meant that the person beside her could not be faking it, so she quickly and carefully put the bracelet away.

As the two were talking, a maid came in: "His Highness has come to the backyard, Princess, please put on your veil quickly!"

Everyone hurried to find the veil. Shen Wanqing helped Shen Wanxiu sit on the wedding bed. Then they heard the bridesmaid's voice from outside the door: "The groom has entered the bridal chamber!"

It seems that the second prince was worried about his bride, so he just went to the front hall for a quick visit and then returned to the bridal chamber.

Shen Wanqing stood aside, her mind racing. Thinking of her plans with Shen Wanxiu today, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of worry for the days ahead. The Crown Prince's methods were always ruthless. Although he had narrowly escaped this time, no one knew what schemes he would employ next.

Shen Wanxiu was sitting on the wedding bed. Although she was covered with a veil and her expression could not be seen, her slightly trembling hands showed her inner nervousness at the moment.

The second prince pushed the door open and walked in, with the bridesmaid saying auspicious words beside him. Shen Wanqing watched this scene and secretly felt happy for Shen Wanxiu.

The Second Prince walked up to Shen Wanxiu and gently lifted her veil. Shen Wanxiu's shy face was revealed to everyone, and the Second Prince's eyes were full of tenderness.

Shen Wanqing tactfully stepped aside, leaving the space to the newlyweds.

When they returned to the flower hall, they found that the meal was almost over. Only Shen Wanru and Su were still talking, accompanied by a few ladies who were on good terms with the Hou Mansion.

No one paid attention to Shen Wanqing, so she had some quiet time, sitting aside and drinking some wine.

Today's banquet is filled with fine wines, including delicious fruit wine prepared for the ladies. It tastes sweet, but if you drink too much, it can have a strong aftereffect.

She drank alone, and the pot of wine was almost empty.

Maybe she drank a little too much, her mind was a little confused, and she didn't look very smart.

Su turned around and saw her like this, then looked at her eldest daughter beside her. She immediately felt that her youngest daughter was not presentable, and a look of disgust appeared on her face. "Go back."

"Okay." Shen Wanqing was a little slow and followed Su silently.
