Her words shocked all the servants present.

They had never seen Lin Wanqing so majestic, and for a moment, no one dared to look him in the eye.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing nodded with satisfaction.

She knew that if she wanted to win this battle, she had to show enough dignity and means.

Only in this way can those with bad intentions be deterred.

"Now, I'm giving you a chance. If you take the initiative to stand up and admit your mistakes, I can forgive you. But if I find out, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lin Wanqing's voice rang out again, echoing in everyone's ears.

However, everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up to admit it.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing's eyes flashed with disappointment and anger.

But she did not lose her temper. Instead, she took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Okay, since no one admits it, I'll check it myself!"

As she spoke, she turned to her personal maid and ordered, "Go, search all the rooms in the yard! Don't leave any corner unsearched!"

The personal maid took the order and left. After a while, she led people to search the entire yard.

Lin Wanqing stood where he was, staring intently at every item that was searched.

She knew that if she wanted to find evidence, she had to do it herself and not make any mistakes.

After searching for a while, everyone finally found the clue in a remote room.

"Ma'am, what do you think this is?"

The personal maid came over with a piece of paper and a bag of herbal residue in her hand.

Lin Wanqing took the note and looked at it. Her name and the names of some herbs were clearly written on it. The bag of herbal residue was exactly the same as the one she had seen at the old lady's place before.

"Whose room is this?"

Lin Wanqing asked with a sullen expression.

"Madam, this is Xiaolian's room."

The personal maid replied.

Lin Wanqing frowned when he heard this.

Xiaolian is one of her personal maids. She looks honest and obedient, but she never expected that she would betray her.

"Go, call Xiaolian to me!"

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

After a while, Xiaolian was brought to her.

Seeing the note and herbal residue in Lin Wanqing's hand, Xiaolian's face suddenly turned pale and she collapsed to the ground.

"Madam, I...I didn't do it on purpose. They forced me to do it. They threatened my family's lives, so I had no choice but to do it!"

Xiaolian pleaded with tears in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing sneered in his heart when he heard this.

As she expected, there was someone behind all this.

"Who are they? Tell me!"

Lin Wanqing slammed the table and shouted harshly.

Xiaolian was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She looked up at Lin Wanqing, then quickly lowered her head.

"I...I don't know. They were masked and I couldn't see their faces clearly."

Lin Wanqing frowned. She knew Xiaolian was not lying, but who was the person behind this?

After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Did they say anything special when they asked you to do this?"

Xiaolian thought carefully for a moment, then trembled as she spoke, "They...they said that as long as I put this note and the herbs in the lady's room, and then...then go to the old lady and report her, they will let my family go."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

That's it!

The person behind this is really calculating!

He actually wanted to use this method to frame her!

But unfortunately, the person they met was Lin Wanqing!

She would never let these people succeed!

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing stood up and looked at Xiaolian coldly.

"Considering that you were forced into this, I will forgive you this time, but if there is a next time, I will not tolerate it!"

As she spoke, she turned and ordered her personal maid, "Take her away and keep her under strict watch. Without my order, she is not allowed to step out of the room!"

"Yes, ma'am."

The personal maid took the order and took Xiaolian away with her men.

Lin Wanqing stood where he was, staring intently at the direction Xiaolian left.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing decided to take the initiative.

She first had someone spread the news that she had been feeling unwell recently and needed to rest for a while.

Then he secretly arranged people to ambush in every corner of the mansion.

As long as the person behind the scenes dares to show up, she will definitely catch him!

Sure enough, not long after, the person behind the scenes finally revealed his true colors.

That night, Lin Wanqing was resting in the room when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps outside.

Her heart tightened and she immediately held her breath, listening carefully to the movement outside.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at her door.

Then, there was a slight sound of a door opening.

Lin Wanqing sneered in his heart, sat up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Who's there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow rushed in from outside the door.

Lin Wanqing was prepared. She quickly took out a dagger from under her pillow and stabbed it fiercely at the black shadow.

"what!"

A scream was heard and the black shadow fell to the ground.

Lin Wanqing took a closer look and saw that the black shadow lying on the ground was actually Xiaoxiu, Su Yingying's personal maid! She was shocked. She didn't expect that the mastermind behind this was actually related to Su Yingying.

"Kosode? Why is it you?"

Lin Wanqing's voice was filled with disbelief and anger.

Xiaoxiu covered her injured arm, her face twisted in pain, but she still said stubbornly, "Humph, I just can't stand your condescending attitude, and I want to teach you a lesson!"

Lin Wanqing sneered. This Xiaoxiu usually looked gentle and lovely, but she didn't expect that she had such a vicious mind.

"You think you can make me fall like this? You are wrong!"

She waved her hand, signaling the guards around her to come forward.

"Come here, arrest her and send her to the old lady! I want to see how the old lady will deal with her!"

The guards received the order and quickly stepped forward to restrain Kosode.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiu's face changed drastically. She struggled frantically, saying, "Lin Wanqing, you will die a miserable death! Just wait, I will definitely come back!"

Lin Wanqing ignored her shouting and just watched her being taken away coldly.

The next morning, Lin Wanqing brought Xiaoxiu's "evidence" to the old lady's residence.

When the old lady saw Lin Wanqing, her expression changed slightly, and she had obviously heard about what happened last night.

"Wanqing, what are you doing..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, Lin Wanqing handed over the note and herbal residue in her hand.

"Please look, old lady. This was found in Xiaoxiu's room." Lin Wanqing said calmly.

The old lady took it and looked at it, her face suddenly darkened.

"Someone, call Su Yingying here as well!" the old lady said in a deep voice.

After a while, Su Yingying came hurriedly.

As soon as she saw Kosode tied up and kneeling on the ground, her face turned pale as paper.

"Madam, what...what's going on?" Su Yingying asked in a trembling voice.
