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

After returning to the room, Lin Wanqing couldn't fall asleep.

Her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.

She knew that this matter would definitely not end like this.

Since those assassins have already struck once, there will definitely be a second and third time...

And their targets are likely not just the emperor and Lu Shengyuan, but also her and her family.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing's heart was filled with determination.

She must find a way to find out the identities and intentions of these assassins and catch them all in one fell swoop!

……

In the following days, Lin Wanqing was busy strengthening the security of the Lin Mansion and the Wang Mansion.

Not only did she increase the number and frequency of patrols, she also had mechanisms and traps installed in every corner of the mansion.

At the same time, she also asked people to secretly investigate the identities and whereabouts of the assassins.

However, the assassins seemed to have disappeared without leaving any clues.

Lin Wanqing knew that this matter could not be rushed and could only be done slowly.

That day, Lin Wanqing was reading in the room when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

She was startled and hurried out to check.

I saw a group of guards surrounding a person, and that person was Lin Wan'er!

"What are you doing?"

Lin Wanqing walked over and asked in a deep voice.

"Princess, this woman has been sneaking around outside the palace. We suspect she's an accomplice of the assassin!"

The chief guard pointed at Lin Wan'er and said.

"I'm not! I'm not an accomplice of the assassin!"

When Lin Wan'er saw Lin Wanqing, she felt like she had seen a savior. "Cousin, please save me! I'm really not an accomplice of the assassin!"

"Wanqing, things are not what you think. Let me explain." Lin Wan'er's face was pale. She kept shaking her head, her eyes full of fear.

Lin Wanqing frowned. Although she was disappointed with Lin Wan'er, she didn't want to see her get into trouble.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Wan'er trembled all over, she bit her lower lip tightly, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.

"I...I just wanted to come see you, but they said I was sneaking around and wanted to arrest me."

Lin Wanqing frowned and looked at Lin Wan'er with a scrutinizing look.

She always felt that Lin Wan'er was not telling the truth, but now she had no evidence.

"Let her go first." Lin Wanqing waved his hand. "Lin Wan'er, I hope you understand that this is an emergency. The palace's security must be strengthened. I don't want any more accidents to happen."

"I know, cousin." Lin Wan'er nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely be more careful next time."

Lin Wanqing looked at her and was silent for a while.

"Go away." She waved her hand, "Don't come to the palace unless necessary."

"Cousin..." Lin Wan'er looked at Lin Wanqing, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Lin Wanqing frowned, "Is there anything else?"

"Cousin, I..." Lin Wan'er bit her lower lip, seeming to find it difficult to speak, "I came to see you for something."

"What's the matter?" Lin Wanqing asked patiently.

"Cousin, the last incident has already made me lose face. I hope you can clarify for me that I did not do anything that was against the law."

As Lin Wan'er spoke, a trace of aggrieved tears flashed in her eyes.

Lin Wanqing looked at her and sighed slightly in his heart.

Regardless of whether Lin Wan'er did that thing or not, she looks very pitiful now.

However, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

Lin Wanqing could not forget what she had done to him, nor could he forgive her betrayal.

"It's over now, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

Lin Wanqing said indifferently, "Besides, I have no obligation to clarify anything for you."

"Cousin, I beg you!"

Lin Wan'er suddenly knelt down. "I know I've done a lot of wrong things in the past, but I've acknowledged my mistakes. I swear I'll never do anything so evil again!"

"Do you really know you were wrong?"

Lin Wanqing looked at her, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "If you really know you are wrong, you should turn yourself in instead of coming to me to clear things up for you."

Lin Wan'er trembled, she looked up at Lin Wanqing, her eyes full of fear and anxiety.

"Cousin, I can't turn myself in. If I do, I'll be finished..."

As she spoke, tears could not stop flowing down her face. "I beg you, for the sake of our sisterhood, please help me this time!"

Lin Wanqing looked at her and was silent for a long time.

"How do you want me to clarify this for you?"

"Cousin, you just need to tell everyone that I didn't do those things and that I was wrongly accused."

When Lin Wan'er saw Lin Wanqing give in, she was delighted and spoke quickly.

"Do you think anyone will believe it?" Lin Wanqing asked back.

"As long as you're willing to speak up, cousin, someone will definitely believe you!" Lin Wan'er said confidently, "You're the princess, so others will definitely believe what you say!"

"Lin Wan'er, remember, I'm helping you this time because we're sisters."

Lin Wanqing looked at her, "But if it happens again, I will definitely not let you off easily."

"Cousin, I'll remember this and I won't dare to do it again."

Lin Wan'er nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, cousin."

"Get up."

Lin Wanqing said calmly, "I have things to do and don't have time to talk to you here."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

"Cousin!" Lin Wan'er suddenly called out to her, "My coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days, and I hope you can come."

"Coming of age ceremony?" Lin Wanqing paused and looked back at her.

"Yes." Lin Wan'er nodded, "I hope you can come."

Lin Wanqing was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go."

After saying that, she strode away.

Looking at Lin Wanqing's back, a trace of resentment flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes.

Lin Wanqing, just wait, I will never let you off easily!

……

Time flies, and soon it is Lin Wan'er's coming-of-age ceremony.

Lin Wanqing came to the Lin Mansion with gifts. She didn't want to embarrass Lin's father and mother, so no matter what, she had to put on a show.

Lin Wan'er was dressed very beautifully today, wearing a pink skirt that made her skin look as white as snow, and she looked pretty and charming.

When she saw Lin Wanqing, a smug smile appeared on her face, and she walked up to him.

"Cousin, you're here. Please come in."

She made a gesture of invitation and then took Lin Wanqing into the hall.

The hall was already full of guests, and when they saw Lin Wanqing, they all stood up and saluted.

"Isn't this the princess? Why is she here too?"

"Yeah, isn't it said that she and Lin Wan'er have a bad relationship?"

"It might be a rumor. After all, they are cousins."

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Lin Wanqing walked to his seat without changing his expression and sat down.

She came today just to give Lin Wan'er a coming-of-age gift, and the rest had nothing to do with her.

Lin Wan'er saw everyone talking about Lin Wanqing and a smug smile appeared on her face.
