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

The flickering candlelight in the room illuminated his focused face, adding a touch of calmness and majesty.

"Husband, I'm here to bring you medicine."

Lin Wanqing opened her red lips slightly, her voice soft but with a power that could not be ignored.

She gently placed the medicine bowl on the table, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Lu Shengyuan looked up, a hint of tenderness flashed across his deep eyes, and then he returned to his usual calmness.

"Wanqing, thank you for your help."

As he spoke, he took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp with quick movements.

Putting down the empty bowl, Lu Shengyuan turned his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Wanqing with a smile.

"I'm afraid that what happened to Su Qiao'er today was not without your help, right?"

His tone was somewhat probing, yet also doting.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing was not at all flustered. Instead, she nodded generously with a smug smile on her face.

"My husband is indeed very discerning. Nothing can be hidden from you."

She walked to Lu Shengyuan and leaned lightly on his shoulder.

"However, I am also concerned about the peace of the Prince's Mansion. If Su Qiao'er doesn't receive a lesson, I'm afraid she will become even more arrogant and domineering in the future."

Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked Lin Wanqing's hair, his eyes full of doting.

"You did the right thing. The Prince's Mansion does need to be reorganized. However, you must be careful about this matter and not make it too public."

Lin Wanqing nodded obediently, but had her own plans in mind.

"Don't worry, my husband. I know what to do."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, their tacit understanding evident without words.

Lu Shengyuan stared at Lin Wanqing, a barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes.

"Wanqing, I know you are extremely intelligent, but remember, don't let personal feelings blind your eyes."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and a serious look appeared on her face. She gently held Lu Shengyuan's hand and spoke in a firm tone.

"My dear husband, everything I do is not out of personal grudges. In my heart, there is only you, my husband."

After hearing this, Lu Shengyuan felt a warm feeling in his heart. He gently pulled Lin Wanqing closer and let her sit on his lap. The two of them leaned against each other tightly.

Lu Shengyuan's gaze suddenly became deep, and he stared at Lin Wanqing as if to penetrate the depths of her soul.

"Wanqing, you... you ever had feelings for Ming'er?"

His voice was low and had a barely perceptible tremor.

Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned, then chuckled, with a hint of self-mockery and relief in her laughter.

"My dear husband, you are joking. It was just an illusion when I was young and ignorant. I was blind and ignorant at that time. Now it seems ridiculous."

There was a hint of determination in her words, as if she was saying a complete farewell to her past feelings.

Lu Shengyuan held Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, the strength seemed to confirm something, and also seemed to be a silent question.

"Wanqing, you know that every subtle expression of yours cannot escape my eyes."

There was a subtle tenderness in his words, but also a seriousness that could not be ignored.

Lin Wanqing looked up and met Lu Shengyuan's gaze that seemed to see through everything. She did not retreat, her eyes were clear and firm.

"My dear, you and I are no longer children. The past is gone like smoke and clouds, gone with the wind."

Her words were gentle but firm, and every word seemed to be carefully considered. Every word was a gem, striking Lu Shengyuan's heart.

There was no evasion in her eyes, only full sincerity and trust.

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes as clear as water seemed to be able to wash away all the dust, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

He took a deep breath and hugged Lin Wanqing tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to integrate her into his own bones and blood.

"Wanqing, I believe you."

Just four short words, but it seemed as if he had used up all his strength.

Lin Wanqing leaned in Lu Shengyuan's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, a happy smile on her lips.

She knew that she had made the right move.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing lived an exceptionally comfortable life.

In addition to taking care of Lu Shengyuan's daily life, she would walk in the back garden with Pei'er, appreciate flowers, drink tea, and chat. Her life was very comfortable.

But the scene on Su Qiaoer's side was completely different.

She was confined to her own yard by the old lady and was not allowed to go out. Only the maid who delivered meals was allowed to enter and leave her yard every day. She was alone the rest of the time.

Such days are undoubtedly the greatest torture for Su Qiaoer, who is lively and likes to be in a lively atmosphere.

She began to become restless and had fits of tantrums all day long.

A lot of things were broken, and the maids were so scared that they didn't dare to approach her yard easily.

Su Qiao'er paced the courtyard, her face gloomy and gloomy. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the courtyard. Su Yingying hurried over, a look of worry on her face.

"Qiao'er, how are you?"

Su Yingying asked with concern as soon as she entered the door, her eyes swept over the scattered debris in the yard, and her heart felt even more distressed.

When Su Qiaoer saw Su Yingying, she seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions. She grabbed her hand and her eyes were slightly red.

"Yingying, what do you think I should do? The old lady has confined me here, and I'm going crazy!"

Su Yingying patted the back of Su Qiaoer's hand and comforted her softly, "Qiaoer, don't be afraid. The old lady is just angry for a moment. She will let you out when she calms down. What you need to do now is to calm Lu Ming's heart."

"Lu Ming?" Su Qiao'er heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, "What can he do to help me?"

Su Yingying smiled slightly, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Don't forget, Lu Ming has a special affection for you. As long as you can get him to stand on your side, the old lady will naturally have some concerns."

Su Qiaoer was moved when she heard this, but then she frowned.

"But how can I meet him in this state?"

Su Yingying shook her head gently, her eyes full of confidence.

"Don't worry about that. I have my own way. You just need to do as I say. I guarantee that Lu Ming will be even more devoted to you."

As she spoke, Su Yingying leaned close to Su Qiaoer's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Su Qiaoer's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she became determined again.

"Okay, just do as you say!"

Su Qiaoer clenched her fists, as if she had already seen the day when she would regain her freedom.

Seeing this, Su Yingying nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, Qiao'er, you will be fine with me here."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes shining with expectations for the future.

At this time, Lin Wanqing was sitting in the garden, leisurely sipping tea and admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the garden, and Pearl came hurriedly with a look of anxiety on her face.

"Madam, something bad has happened. Su Yingying has brought Master Lu Ming here and wants to see you."

Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
