The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

Lu Ming's departure would definitely cause some waves with the old lady, but she was not worried.

After all, she was the Lu family's legally married wife and Lu Ming's mother.

No matter how partial the old lady was to Lu Ming, she would never blame her for a maid.

As for Lu Ming...if he wants to go against her, she will never let him off!

On the other side, Lu Ming returned to Su Qiaoer's courtyard and looked at Su Yingying's pale face, feeling distressed.

"Yingying, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yingying shook her head gently, her voice weak, "I'm fine, Prince, don't worry."

Looking at her like this, Lu Ming became even more determined to seek justice for her.

He held Su Yingying's hand with a firm look in his eyes, "Yingying, don't worry, I will seek justice for you. You can rest assured and recuperate, and leave the rest to me."

Su Yingying looked at Lu Ming, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes.

She nodded slightly and said nothing more.

On the other hand, the people sent by the old lady to investigate the matter have already got results.

They reported what they had found to the old lady, and after hearing it, the old lady's face became terribly gloomy.

"Lin Wanqing, she actually did such a thing! This is outrageous!"

The old lady slammed the table angrily, her voice revealing a strong murderous intent.

"Who does she think she is? How dare she act so recklessly in the Lu family! Does she really think an old woman like me is dead?"

The old lady stood up angrily and paced back and forth in the room, every step revealing her anger and determination at the moment.

"Go! Call Lin Wanqing to me! I want to ask her in person what she wants to do!"

As soon as the old lady gave an order, someone responded and left immediately.

After a while, Lin Wanqing came to the old lady's room.

She looked at the old lady's gloomy face, her heart sank slightly, but she remained calm on the surface.

"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."

Lin Wanqing bowed slightly, speaking in a calm tone.

The old lady looked at her, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"Lin Wanqing, you are so bold! How dare you do such a thing in the Lu family! Do you think that if you can hide it from the world, no one will know?"

Lin Wanqing was slightly startled when she heard this, but soon returned to normal.

She looked at the old lady, her tone still calm, "Mother, your daughter-in-law doesn't understand what you are saying."

The old lady became even angrier when she saw her like this.

"Don't understand? Fine! Then I'll make you understand!"

As she spoke, she slammed the table with a deafening sound.

"Lin Wanqing! How dare you harm Yingying? Do you really think I can't find out?"

Lin Wanqing was startled, but quickly calmed down.

"Mother, your daughter-in-law is not aware of the situation you are talking about. She has never harmed Su Yingying."

She looked into the old lady's eyes and spoke firmly.

The old lady sneered, "You still dare to quibble? I've already sent people to investigate and it's you who murdered Yingying! Do you still want to deny it?"

Lin Wanqing's heart sank, but she knew that she could never admit it at this moment.

"Mother, you misunderstood. I have never done anything like this. Please believe me."

The old lady looked at her, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"Okay! Since you don't admit it, I'll make you convinced!"

As she said this, she turned to the people around her and ordered, "Go! Bring us the evidence! Show her what else she has to say!"

After a while, someone came in with a piece of evidence.

The old lady threw the evidence in front of Lin Wanqing, "Look for yourself! What else can I say?"

Lin Wanqing's heart sank when he looked at the evidence.

She knew that this matter was beyond her control.

But she remained calm, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly, "Mother, this... this is all a misunderstanding..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by the old lady.

"Misunderstanding? You still want to say it's a misunderstanding? Lin Wanqing, do you really think that an old woman like me is blind and deaf?"

Lin Wanqing's expression changed slightly, then he took a deep breath, an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

"Mother, I'd like to ask, has this so-called evidence been thoroughly verified? Isn't it too hasty to conclude I'm guilty based on nothing more than a piece of paper?"

The old lady frowned when she heard this. She didn't expect Lin Wanqing to refute so calmly.

"Rash? My Lu family has always had strict rules. How could we jump to conclusions so easily? I personally reviewed this evidence. Could it be fake?"

Lin Wanqing shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Mother, I'm not questioning your judgment. It's just that the world is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable. I know I've always been cautious in my words and actions in the Lu family and have never done anything that goes against the rules. Now that this evidence has suddenly appeared, it's inevitable that I'll have doubts."

The old lady sneered even more. She waved her hand to signal the servants to spread the evidence in front of Lin Wanqing.

"Look at this. These writings and the herbal residue were all found in your yard. How else do you want to argue?"

Lin Wanqing leaned over to take a closer look at the evidence, frowning.

After a moment, she raised her head, a determined glint in her eyes.

"Mother, this handwriting is indeed similar to my daughter-in-law's, but this is not enough to prove that it was written by my daughter-in-law. As for this herbal residue, it can be forged at will. I beg you to give me another chance to find out the truth myself."

The old lady's face turned pale when she heard this.

She glared at Lin Wanqing as if she wanted to eat her alive.

"Find out the truth? What else do you want to do? I'm telling you, Lin Wanqing, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving this room alive!"

Lin Wanqing's heart trembled, but she did not back down.

She took a deep breath and looked at the old lady with sharp eyes.

"Mother, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibilities. However, as the mistress of the Lu family, how can I allow others to slander me so casually? Please give me some time, mother. I will definitely clear my name!"

The old lady laughed in anger. She looked at Lin Wanqing with eyes full of disdain and anger.

"Okay! I'll give you this much time! I want to see what tricks you can come up with!"

As she spoke, she waved her sleeves suddenly, signaling the servants to take Lin Wanqing away.

The moment Lin Wanqing was taken out of the room, she looked deeply at the old lady.

She knew that this time, she would face an unprecedented crisis.

But she was not afraid, because she knew that only after going through wind and rain can she see the rainbow.

Lin Wanqing returned to her own courtyard and immediately summoned all the servants. She swept her eyes over each of them, and her voice was full of majesty and determination.

"I know some of you betrayed me. I don't blame you, because everyone has their own choices. But today, I want to tell you that the position of the Lu family's mistress is not so easy to sit on! Want to frame me? Then be prepared to pay the price!"
