Chapter 575 Grabbing Some Good Stuff

Even if Shen Wantang had never been reborn, she wouldn't believe Chu Yanluo's nonsense, let alone the fact that she had been reborn and knew what kind of person Chu Yanluo was.

"I have no interest in your feud with Prince Xiao, and even less interest in marrying into the Ning Prince's mansion. Don't try to seduce me with those nonsense things; I won't fall for it. Get out of the way! Otherwise, the carriage has no eyes and might hit you, so don't blame me."

Chu Yanluo was somewhat annoyed: "How can you be so ungrateful?! I don't help just anyone. You should be grateful to me for helping you!"

"I don't even know you. You think I'd believe a random person who just walks out onto the street and offers to help me? Do you think everyone else is stupid?"

"Hmph, if you don't believe me, fine! I don't need you. Your Shen family doesn't only have you as a daughter, there's also Shen Mingxuan! I can help Shen Mingxuan marry into the Ning Prince's mansion. When you see her living a life of wealth and luxury, don't regret it!"

Shen Wantang suddenly laughed: "You want to help my elder sister? Sure, I'm also hoping my sister marries well. Go ahead, go help her!"

Chu Yanluo gritted her teeth inwardly: "Aren't you really afraid that your sister will marry someone better than you? Humph, don't think I don't know that you two sisters have a terrible relationship. You'd be happy if she couldn't get married!"

"Never mind my relationship with my sister, just go and help her. I don't need your help here. Can you move aside? You've been blocking my carriage, the horses are getting angry."

Chu Yanlu snorted coldly, pulled her hood down even lower, and turned to leave.

Du Juan watched her leave and asked Shen Wantang, "Miss, who is that person? They look strange, kind of like..."

"Like what?"

"Like Young Master Xiao, he talks in a crazy way, it sounds very intimidating. Miss, could they really have been reborn?"

Shen Wantang chuckled: "You believe that someone can be reborn?"

"This servant remembers there are many such strange tales in storybooks. Not only do some people get reborn, but some also become vengeful ghosts to take lives!"

"I haven't seen any vengeful ghosts yet, but I have seen several reborn ones!"

Du Juan hesitated. Did the young lady mean that the rebirth was real?

Shen Wantang didn't offer any further explanation, nor did she tell Du Juan that she had also been reborn. It wasn't that she didn't trust Du Juan, but rather that some secrets were best kept to themselves. Otherwise, if someone tried to get information out of Du Juan, given Du Juan's straightforward nature, she would probably tell the truth in just a few words.

Soon, Shen Wantang returned to the Shen family.

As soon as she entered, she heard Shen Mingxuan's miserable cries. Just then, Qin Xin came to greet her, and she casually asked, "What are you crying about now? Did you get beaten up again?"

Qin Xin quickly replied, "No, it's the maid changing the young lady's dressing. The young lady's wound is a bit festering. When the dressing was taken off, she felt pain once, and when the new dressing was put on, she felt pain again. She's scolding the maid right now!"

As Shen Wantang walked inside, she asked, "Did they only scold the maid? They didn't scold me?"

"this……"

"Just tell the truth."

Qin Xin lowered her head: "They cursed me, and they cursed me quite harshly."

Shen Wantang: "Then I can't just take the scolding for nothing. Let's go see my elder sister. Maybe once I get there, her pain will stop!"

As she spoke, she went straight to Shen Mingxuan's courtyard.

The maids in the courtyard were silent as cicadas in winter. None of them dared to stop Shen Wantang when she arrived. After all, she now had Shen Guannian backing her up, and even the Duke's mansion backing her up. Even the madam and the eldest daughter had to avoid her.

Shen Wantang entered the room and saw Shen Mingxuan lying on the bed crying and cursing. She said, "Sister, why are you lying on the bed? Your injury will heal slowly like this. Get up and walk around!"

Shen Mingxuan's crying and cursing stopped abruptly.

She barely managed to lift her head and look at Shen Wantang: "You dare come to my courtyard?! If I could walk, I'd break your legs first, so you'd never be able to come here to laugh at me again! Guards, throw her out!!"

Unfortunately, no matter how fiercely she shouted, none of the maids dared to lay a hand on her.

Shen Wantang strolled leisurely around her room and saw a package of very nice new tea. She then instructed Du Juan, "Take this package of tea to our courtyard. My sister is so injured that she can't drink tea. It's a waste to leave it here. I'll drink it for her!"

"yes!"

Du Juan happily agreed and quickly took the tea.

In the past, it was always the young lady who would go to their courtyard to steal things; today, it's finally the young lady's turn to steal the young lady's things!

What goes around comes around!

"Oh dear, sister, how come you still have a set of white jade and black jade chess pieces here? You're so badly injured, you don't need this set of chess pieces for the time being. Dujuan, take it to our yard first, I happen to be short of a set of chess pieces."

"What's in this box? Why is it a new pair of shoes? Were they just made? How did you know I needed a pair of shoes, sister? I've been going out a lot these past few days, and my old shoes are no longer presentable. I'll take these. Thank you so much, sister. I feel really bad for thinking of me like this!"

Shen Mingxuan, who was lying on the bed, was so angry that she almost vomited blood!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Wantang, how dare you steal my good stuff? You just wait, once I recover, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Shen Wantang said nonchalantly, "Fine, I'll wait. Let's talk about it after you get better! The medicine you're using won't help your recovery. Why don't you try my medicine?"

"Don't pretend to be kind, who wants your medicine!"

"Oh, it's nothing. It's perfect, I didn't actually bring you any medicine."

Shen Mingxuan was furious: "What did you say if you didn't bring me anything?! Get out, get out now!"

Compared to her exasperation, Shen Wantang seemed completely at ease: "Why are you so angry, sister? The angrier you get, the harder it will be for your injuries to heal. You should calm down. No matter what I take from you, you should smile and say, 'Take it, it's all yours.'"

Shen Mingxuan was even angrier: "Shen Wantang, you made me suffer so much, and now you're even taking my things, and you still expect me to smile at you? You wish!"

"Suffering a loss is a blessing, isn't that what my sister used to tell me? What, now that it's your turn to suffer a loss, you don't think it's a blessing anymore?"

Shen Wantang sneered: "Don't worry, sister, you'll have plenty of good fortune like this in the future!"

After she finished speaking, she left happily with the things she had plundered.

Shen Mingxuan cursed incessantly in the room, but her intense emotions aggravated the injury on her back, causing her to let out another pitiful scream.

Even after Shen Wantang returned to her own courtyard, she could still hear Shen Mingxuan calling. She picked at her ears and said, "The Shen family is still too small. I can hear any noise from the side. It's so noisy that I can't even get a break."

Having grown accustomed to the grand courtyard of the Prince Ning's mansion, living in the small courtyard of the Shen family felt a bit strange.
