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

Lin Wanqing sighed softly, his gaze far-reaching, as if penetrating the night and reaching the unknown tomorrow.

"I advise you to go to sleep. I'll go check on the herbs."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up. Although her steps were light, they revealed a determination that could not be ignored.

In the flickering candlelight, her figure stretched out a bit of loneliness, but also reflected her unyielding tenacity.

When Lin Wanqing stepped into the pharmacy, a faint aroma of medicine hit her nose.

She examined the herbs on the shelf one by one.

Su Qiaoer was leaning on the couch, her eyes closed, resting, a hint of fatigue on her face.

Suddenly, the maid Cui'er rushed into the room panting, her face filled with irrepressible joy.

"Auntie, Auntie!" Cui'er shouted as she ran, her voice full of excitement, "The prince, the prince just came out of Lin Wanqing's yard!"

Su Qiaoer's eyes suddenly opened when she heard this.

She sat up straight, her tone filled with a hint of urgency and curiosity: "Oh? Are you serious? Tell me quickly, what interesting thing happened?"

Seeing that the young lady was so concerned, Cui'er hurried forward and began to describe it vividly.

"I saw it with my own eyes. The prince had a serious expression on his face and walked hurriedly. It seemed that he and Lin Wanqing had parted on bad terms."

As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, as if she wanted to vividly present those scenes to Su Qiaoer.

"When the prince walked out of the courtyard, his figure seemed particularly lonely, and even his back showed a sense of determination, which made my heart clench."

Su Qiaoer listened with great interest, and the smile on her face became even wider.

"In that case, the situation in this mansion is likely to be in turmoil."

She opened her red lips slightly, her tone gentle but revealing a hint of deep meaning.

When Cui Er heard this, a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed across her face: "Auntie, what do you mean...?"

Su Qiaoer smiled slightly, but said nothing, just waved her hand gently.

Cui'er understood and immediately restrained her expression, standing respectfully aside.

Su Qiaoer slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bright moonlight outside, and ripples appeared in her heart.

She knew her chance had come.

Lin Wanqing was busy in the pharmacy all night long. Only when it was dawn did he lean back in his chair tiredly and close his eyes to rest.

Pei'er walked into the pharmacy quietly, and seeing Lin Wanqing so tired, she couldn't help feeling sad.

She gently put a cloak on Lin Wanqing and said softly, "Miss, you have worked hard all night. You should go back to your room and rest."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of determination and stubbornness in his eyes.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

As she spoke, she stood up from her chair and stretched.

"Go prepare some breakfast, I'm hungry."

Seeing this, Pei'er nodded hurriedly and turned to walk out the door.

Lin Wanqing looked at Pei'er's departing back, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

After breakfast, Lin Wanqing decided to go to Lu Shengyuan's yard to check on his condition.

Although there were some unpleasantness between the two last night, they could not just watch Lu Shengyuan's condition worsen and do nothing.

Lu Shengyuan was leaning against the head of the bed, his face as pale as paper, his eyes closed, as if he was in a deep sleep.

Lin Wanqing tiptoed to the bedside and took his pulse.

The pulse was weak and feeble, and it was obvious that the condition had worsened.

She frowned slightly, and a trace of worry arose in her heart.

Lu Shengyuan's condition is more serious than she imagined. If he is not treated in time, his life may be in danger.

At this moment, Lu Shengyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Lin Wanqing withdrew his hand and said calmly, "I'll take a look at your condition."

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a sarcastic smile flashed across his face.

"Why? You really do your job well."

Lin Wanqing smiled indifferently.

"I have to take responsibility both morally and morally."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, his eyes revealing a bit of complexity.

"Lin Wanqing, what exactly do you want to do? If you really want to harm me, just do it directly. Why are you pretending like this?"

When Lin Wanqing heard this, his expression remained as calm as before.

"Lu Shengyuan, you misunderstood. I never intended to harm you."

She paused and continued, "I know you don't believe me, but please give me some time and I will prove it to you."

Lu Shengyuan stared at her, as if trying to see some clues from her eyes.

However, Lin Wanqing's gaze was calm and firm, without a trace of evasion or guilt.

He averted his gaze, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Go out, I want to be alone."

Lin Wanqing sighed softly, turned and walked out the door.

Although Lin Wanqing's footsteps were light, each step seemed to step on Lu Shengyuan's heart, causing ripples.

She walked to the door, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Shengyuan on the bed.

"I know you have doubts, but everything I do is for your own good. If you don't want to believe me, I will prove it with my actions."

After saying that, she gently closed the door, leaving the room in silence.

Only Lu Shengyuan's complicated gaze followed her back until she disappeared.

Outside the door, sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

Lin Wanqing stood in the interweaving of light and shadow, took a deep breath of fresh air, and secretly thought about how to find a better way to treat Lu Shengyuan more quickly.

She knew that time was running out and every moment of delay was a threat to Lu Shengyuan's life.

So she walked quickly to the pharmacy, with some thoughts in mind.

She wanted to test the medicine herself and test the poison on herself, just to ensure that every medicinal ingredient could work accurately and correctly and reduce the pain that Lu Shengyuan had to endure.

In the pharmacy, Lin Wanqing once again immersed herself in the world of medicinal materials. She carefully selected, ground, and blended them, taking every step meticulously.

At this time, in another courtyard, Su Qiaoer was also plotting her own plan, with a calculating gleam in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing hurried out of the pharmacy, her heart full of worry about Lu Shengyuan's condition, and she didn't pay attention to the surrounding scenery.

When I walked to a winding path, I suddenly heard a soft but slightly deliberate voice coming from the front. It was Su Qiaoer.

"Oh, isn't this Wan Qing? You seem to be in such a hurry, what's the urgent matter?"

Su Qiao'er was dressed gorgeously and had a beautiful smile, but she couldn't hide the calculation in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing stopped, his eyes were cold, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Mrs. Su, you don't seem to fully understand the rules of this mansion. According to etiquette, you should call me 'Mother', which is more appropriate."

As soon as these words came out, the air around them seemed to freeze.

Su Qiaoer's expression changed slightly, and then she returned to her gentle appearance, but her smile was a little more forced.

"Wan Qing, you're joking. You and I are both from the same mansion. Why should we be so formal?"

Lin Wanqing shook her head slightly.

"Rules cannot be abolished, especially in this palace. If you really want to gain a foothold in this palace, you need to learn more about the rules."

After saying that, Lin Wanqing said no more, leaving Su Qiaoer with a look of surprise, and turned around to continue walking forward.
