Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 111 Selling You for Money

It turned out that Princess Suyun came to the general's mansion every day to look for him, and he was so annoyed that he had to hide away. But no matter where he went, even to the suburbs, Suyun would always follow him. She even saw a carriage on the road and deliberately threw herself on it, saying she was afraid of being hit, which caused misunderstandings.

Shen Wanqing listened to him with a smile, then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "I believe you."

Such a sentence is worth a thousand words. Du Zhijie's worried heart finally settled down and he looked at Shen Wanqing with a silly smile.

It was almost night when Du Zhijie reluctantly sent Shen Wanqing back.

She had just returned to her Qingfei Courtyard. Linglong, who had been sent to check on Princess Suyun, had also returned and reported to Shen Wanqing, "According to the news from Zuimenglou, the young lady is truly astute. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the young lady are trying every possible way to contact the Ziluo Kingdom envoy again."

"Oh? They have no connections and no military strength, so they are not worth mentioning. So how do these two get along?" Shen Wanqing asked with a smile. She didn't believe that Shen Wanru really liked the prince. She only liked wealth, power and status, which were out of her reach.

Shen Wanru used to be very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. She would not sleep unless she had a high bed and a soft pillow. It seems that the power of love is extraordinary. Now she can even live in such a simple Nanshan Imperial Mausoleum.

Shen Wanqing laughed self-deprecatingly. Shen Wanru and Yuwen Ze were not the kind of people who could endure hardship. However, Linglong's next words completely surprised Shen Wanqing.

"It seems the two of them are not getting along well. I hear loud noises every night. The eldest lady also blames the Crown Prince for being incompetent. This predicament is all his fault."

In fact, it’s not just Shen Wanru, even Yu Wen Ze is not used to it.

Although he was a pampered prince before, and his food and accommodation were much better than those in the imperial mausoleum, everything has changed now.

But the place they lived in now was just an ordinary courtyard in Nanshan. Not only was the bed hard, but even the new bedding still gave off an indescribable stench.

The house is more shabby than clean. After being used to seeing exquisite screens and silk curtains, I felt a huge gap when I saw the simple wooden tables and chairs and earthen walls. The yard was no longer covered with carefully tended flowers and plants, and there was even a little chicken manure on the ground.

They also changed into simple clothes to avoid wearing gold and silver that would be too eye-catching, which made Shen Wanru, who loved dressing up, very dissatisfied.

What made her even more unbearable was that she had to do everything by herself. In the past, maids and old women would help her with small things like dressing and combing her hair, but now she even had to boil water for her own bath. Yuwen Ze also changed from being obedient at the beginning to advising her to be self-reliant in everything.

Shen Wanru couldn't help getting angry and complaining every day, and her spoiled eldest daughter's temper gradually revealed itself, making Yu Wen Ze somewhat unable to cope.

At this moment, both people in the farmhouse couldn't help but question this relationship.

Shen Wanru hoped that Yuwen Ze could buy a small house and hire a few servants, so that she and Yuwen Ze could be a fairy couple every day. However, Yuwen Ze knew that if they really did this, firstly, their money would not last long, and secondly, if the news got to the capital, they would be reported. What would they do then? He was currently in contact with the envoy of Zi Luo Country, and he didn't want it to end before it even began.

Seeing that Yuwen Ze did not agree to her conditions, Shen Wanru ran out in anger. Yuwen Ze had no choice but to chase her, but in the end the two were stopped by the guards guarding the mausoleum and returned to the yard in disgrace.

"Are we trapped here forever? Aren't you the prince? Can't you think of a way to leave here?" Shen Wanru yelled out of control.

"You still have the nerve to say that? It's all your fault!" Yu Wen Ze rushed to Shen Wanru and stared at her fiercely: "If you hadn't secretly kept the Nine Dragon Phoenix Hairpin, would I be here? If you dare to yell at me again, believe it or not, I will sell you for money!"

Yu Wen Ze rarely lost his temper. He had never been so irritable and ferocious. His eyes looked as if he would tear Shen Wanru apart if she said one more word.

Fear and anger mixed together, Shen Wanru didn't dare to speak anymore, and the room fell into deathly silence.

When the news came back through Zuimenglou, Shen Wanqing sighed, "They are suffering from their own faults. They can't blame others."

Regardless of whether they can get in touch with the envoys from Zi Luo Country or not, this news must be passed on to Du Zhijie. Regardless of whether it is true or false, they must be fully prepared.

As Yuwen Ze looked at the white woman who was eager to go back, he came up with a plan. If she could go back, his plan would go smoothly. He was currently lacking someone who could contact the envoy of Zi Luo Country. So, the person in front of him was just the right person.

He slowed down his tone and said solemnly, "Wanru, it was my fault just now. There is no way to leave here. I have an opportunity right now. I wonder if you are willing to take it."

Shen Wanru's face was haggard. Although she was still angry, she still had a glimmer of hope in her eyes when she heard that she could leave here. "Your Highness, I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

Yuwen Ze lowered his voice and said, "The envoys from Ziluo Kingdom will soon arrive in Beijing. This prince wants you to return to Beijing in disguise and contact them."

Shen Wanru was startled. She knew that this journey was fraught with danger, but in order to leave this place and return to the capital safely, her life would be better as long as she returned to the capital. So she nodded firmly: "Your Highness, rest assured. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

So, Shen Wanru began to carefully prepare for her disguise. She found a worn-out piece of men's clothing, tied her hair up, and tried to hide her female features. She also smeared some dirt on her face to make herself look even more worn.

Taking advantage of the night, Shen Wanru avoided the guards and secretly left the imperial mausoleum. Along the way, she was cautious, avoiding the crowds and taking the small paths.

After several days of traveling, Shen Wanru finally arrived in the capital. The bustling and bustling capital was in stark contrast to her current state of distress.

She didn't dare to act openly, and could only observe the movements of the Zi Luo Kingdom envoy from a corner. Finally, she found the inn where the envoy was staying.

Shen Wanru took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk into the inn. However, the people in the inn cast suspicious glances at this strange man.

Shen Wanru pretended to be calm, found a waiter, secretly gave him some silver, and asked about the room of the envoy from Zi Luo Kingdom.

The waiter took the money, hesitated for a moment, and finally told her.

Shen Wanru came to the door of the room and knocked gently.

The door opened, and a guard from Ziluo Kingdom looked at her warily: "Who are you?"

Shen Wanru lowered her voice and said, "I have something important to discuss with your country's envoy."

The guards looked her up and down, and finally let her into the room only after she took out Yu Wen Ze's jade pendant.
