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

"I admit that I was disrespectful to the princess, but I know I was wrong. How could I possibly harm the princess? This oleander powder must be someone trying to frame me."

"Put the blame on others?" Lin Wanqing sneered, "Then tell me, who wants to put the blame on you?"

"I, I don't know." Su Qiaoer shook her head.

"I don't know?" Lin Wanqing narrowed her eyes. "Su Qiao'er, do you think I'm a fool? Just because you say you don't know, it's okay? This oleander powder was found in your room, and this maid also pointed it out to you. What else do you have to say?"

"Princess, I am truly innocent. If I really wanted to harm you, I would not have provided any clues for you to find me. Please be wise and do not wrongly accuse me." Su Qiaoer cried.

"Yes, Princess, what Aunt Su said makes sense. If she really wanted to harm you, she wouldn't have provided you with any clues to find her. This doesn't make sense."

The guard beside him couldn't help but say when he saw this.

After all, Su Qiaoer usually had a good reputation in the mansion, so he subconsciously felt that Su Qiaoer was being wronged.

"This……"

Lin Wanqing hesitated when he heard this.

I have to say that what Su Qiaoer said makes some sense. If she really wanted to harm herself, there would be no need to provide clues for her to find.

But if Su Qiaoer was wronged, then who did this?

"Princess, I have truly been wronged. I beg you to investigate."

When Su Qiao'er saw Lin Wanqing hesitated, she was delighted and spoke quickly.

As long as Lin Wanqing hesitated, she would have a chance.

"enough!"

Just then, a cold shout was heard, and then Lu Ming walked in with a dark face.

"Princess, please don't go too far! Aunt Su is timid and kind-hearted, how could she possibly harm you? From this prince's perspective, it's clear that you dislike Aunt Su and are deliberately abusing your power to bully her!"

"Sir, I don't have it, I don't have it!"

When Su Qiaoer saw Lu Ming coming, she was delighted and cried out.

The prince has come at the right time, and it’s a great honor!

With the prince backing her up, she didn't believe Lin Wanqing could do anything to her!

"Sir, I have been wronged. I beg you to help me."

As she spoke, she squeezed out a few tears and looked so pitiful.

Lin Wanqing was amazed watching from the side. It was such a pity that Su Qiaoer didn’t go to act!

"It seems to me that you are deliberately looking for trouble!"

Lu Ming said coldly, "In my opinion, it is Aunt Su who should make the decision for you!"

"Oh, it seems that Master Lu really dotes on this Concubine Su."

Lin Wanqing sneered, "But, isn't Master Lu going too far? This princess is your mother. Is it appropriate for you to treat me like this for a concubine?"

"you……"

Lu Ming was speechless. He stared at Lin Wanqing with a terribly gloomy expression.

This damn woman actually dared to talk to him like that!

"What? Prince Lu has nothing to say?"

Lin Wanqing sneered, "Since Master Lu trusts this Concubine Su so much, then this princess has nothing more to say. Come, take Concubine Su away and give her twenty lashes of the cane as a warning to others!"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately stepped forward and dragged Su Qiaoer away.

"Princess, please spare me, please spare me, my prince, please save me, please save me."

Su Qiaoer was dragged away, and her cries gradually faded away.

"Lin Wanqing, how dare you!"

Seeing this, Lu Ming's face changed drastically and he was about to step forward to stop it.

"Master Lu, what do you want to do?"

Lin Wanqing's eyes sternly said, "If Concubine Su makes a mistake, I, the princess, will punish her according to the law. Is there anything wrong with that? Is Prince Lu really going to fight me for a concubine?"

"I……"

Lu Ming looked at Lin Wanqing, clenched his fists, but couldn't say a word.

He knew that Lin Wanqing was right. If Su Qiaoer made a mistake, she did have the right to deal with it.

But how could he bear to watch Su Qiaoer being beaten?

"Lin Wanqing, this prince will remember you. Just wait for me!"

In the end, he could only throw down a harsh word and turn away.

"Prince Lu is always welcome."

Lin Wanqing sneered and said nonchalantly.

This Lu Ming was really bewitched by Su Qiaoer and even forgot his own identity.

Who does he think he is to threaten her?

After dealing with Su Qiaoer, Lin Wanqing was in a good mood, and even looked at Lu Shengyuan with a more favorable attitude.

"Your Majesty, I dealt with Aunt Su. You won't blame me, will you?"

She looked at Lu Shengyuan and said with a smile.

"will not."

Lu Shengyuan glanced at her and said calmly, "You are the princess, and you have the right to deal with matters in the harem."

"That's good."

Lin Wanqing nodded with satisfaction, "I thought the prince would blame me for a concubine."

"will not."

Lu Shengyuan glanced at her with a complicated look in his eyes, "You did a great job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "I will definitely continue to work hard to help His Majesty manage the palace so that His Majesty has no worries."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her without saying anything.

He suddenly felt that this Lin Wanqing seemed different from what he had imagined.

She is smart, decisive, and resourceful, completely different from those women who only know how to be jealous.

Maybe marrying her wouldn't be such a bad idea.

"Princess, this is terrible! Aunt Su...she fainted!"

Just then, a guard rushed in and said with a somewhat grim expression.

"what?"

Lin Wanqing frowned when he heard this, "Fainted? How could this happen?"

"I don't know either. Aunt Su... she was too weak. She fainted before she was even given the twenty strokes of the cane."

The guard lowered his head and spoke cautiously.

"Damn it!"

Lin Wanqing cursed in her heart, this Su Qiaoer really knows how to cause trouble for her!

"Let's go and have a look!"

She stood up and walked out quickly.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her hurried back, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

This Lin Wanqing seems to be particularly concerned about Su Qiaoer's affairs.

Thinking of this, he stood up and followed.

When Lin Wanqing came to the backyard, he saw Su Qiaoer lying on the ground with a pale face and unconscious.

"Auntie Su!"

She took a step forward, checked Su Qiaoer's breath, and found that she was still breathing, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess Princess, Aunt Su..."

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go find a doctor?"

Lin Wanqing looked at the guards beside him and shouted sternly.

Upon hearing this, the guard trembled and quickly turned around and ran out.

After a while, the guards came in hurriedly with a doctor.

The doctor felt Su Qiao'er's pulse and then shook his head. "Princess, Concubine Su is seriously injured. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she won't make it through the day."
