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

When she mentioned Lu Ming, Lu Shengyuan's brows furrowed even more.

"Lu Ming? What's wrong with him?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that what Su said today is not without reason."

Lin Wanqing said slowly, "Lu Ming is, after all, the heir of the royal palace. If he continues like this, he will indeed be laughed at. Moreover, he still doesn't even have an official position. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the world in the future, and it will not be good for the reputation of the royal palace."

As she spoke, she looked up at Lu Shengyuan and said, "So, Your Highness, it's better for you to make plans early."

After hearing her words, Lu Shengyuan was silent for a long time.

He knew that Lin Wanqing had never liked Su Qiaoer and Lu Ming, but what she said did make sense.

It is indeed not a solution for Lu Ming to continue like this.

"So what do you think?" He looked at Lin Wanqing and asked lightly.

"I think the prince should find a job for Lu Ming to give him some experience so that he doesn't have to do nothing all day."

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, "Besides, this will also let people know that the prince has not treated him unfairly."

"It's easy for you to say."

Lu Shengyuan snorted coldly, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? But is it so easy to find a position in the capital?"

"That's what the prince said."

Lin Wanqing lowered her head. "However, I think Your Highness should still be careful of Lu Ming. After all, one can only judge a person by his appearance. He may not be as kind as he appears."

When she mentioned Lu Ming, she could not hide the disgust in her eyes.

Lu Shengyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Lin Wanqing pursed her lips and said, "I just think that although Su Shi's family background is not good, she is a resourceful person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make the prince dote on her in such a short time."

"As for Lu Ming, he will inevitably learn something from what he has seen and heard."

"So, Your Majesty, it's better to be careful."

Lin Wanqing said this, lowering his eyes slightly.

What I said was a bit hurtful.

But she doesn't mind.

As long as she could make Lu Shengyuan wary of Lu Ming, her goal would be achieved.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her for a long time without saying a word.

He knew that Lin Wanqing had never liked Su Qiaoer and Lu Ming, but he didn't expect her to say that.

"I know, I will be careful."

He said in a deep voice, "It's getting late, you should go back."

"Yes."

Lin Wanqing saluted, turned around and walked out.

She returned to her yard with a satisfied smile on her face.

Today's trip was indeed not in vain.

Lu Shengyuan was already on guard against Lu Ming, so now it was up to her.

……

On the other side, Su Qiaoer returned to the yard with a smug smile on her face.

Her move today was indeed effective.

The old lady already felt pity for Lu Ming, and asked Lu Shengyuan to find a solution.

No matter what, Lu Ming's future life will not be as difficult as it is now.

She just had to wait to become her Crown Prince's Consort.

The more Su Qiao'er thought about it, the happier she became, and she even began to like the maidservants around her more.

"Qiao'er, what are you so happy about?"

A gentle voice sounded.

Su Qiaoer raised her head and saw Lu Ming's smiling eyes.

Her face flushed, "Prince, why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see you."

Lu Ming walked up to her and took her hand. "I heard you went to your grandmother's today?"

"Ah."

Su Qiaoer nodded and said, "I'll go pay my respects to my grandmother."

"Then did she make things difficult for you?"

Lu Ming looked at her nervously, "If there is, tell me and I will go find her."

"No."

Su Qiaoer felt warm in her heart, "Grandma didn't make things difficult for me. She even asked me to take good care of you."

"That's good."

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "I told you, Grandma isn't an unkind person. As long as you treat her well, she will definitely like you."

"Ah."

Su Qiaoer nodded, "I understand."

The two chatted for a while and then had dinner together.

After dinner, Lu Ming took Su Qiaoer to the study.

Looking at the books on the table, Su Qiaoer was a little confused.

"Sir, why did you bring me to the study?"

"Of course, I taught you to read and write."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "You can't even read. How are you going to help me manage the inner chambers in the future? How are you going to become the Crown Prince's consort?"

Su Qiaoer was delighted when she heard this.

She knew that Lu Ming had her in his heart.

"Prince, you are so kind to me."

She hugged Lu Ming's waist, her face full of happiness.

Lu Ming chuckled and hugged her back, "If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"

The two of them were affectionate for a while and then started reading.

Lu Ming patiently taught Su Qiaoer, correcting her pronunciation word by word.

Su Qiaoer also studied hard and soon mastered quite a few characters.

……

Time passes day by day.

With Su Qiaoer's efforts, she finally recognized all the characters and could even write beautiful small calligraphy with hairpin flowers.

Lu Ming was very satisfied with her progress and his love for her grew even deeper.

Lin Wanqing, on the other hand, was getting restless.

She didn't expect that Su Qiaoer was so capable. Not only did Lu Ming dote on her, but she also won the favor of the old lady.

This made Lin Wanqing's sense of crisis doubled.

She would never let Su Qiaoer become the Crown Prince's Consort so easily.

Lin Wanqing thought about it and finally came up with a solution.

She decided to start with Su Qiaoer's life experience.

After all, Su Qiaoer was just a merchant, and it would be extremely difficult for her to become the prince's consort.

As long as she makes this matter a big deal and lets everyone know Su Qiaoer's identity, then no matter how favored she is, she will never be able to become the Crown Prince's Consort.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing curled up the corners of his mouth in a sneer.

Su Qiaoer, just wait for me!

That day, Lin Wanqing brought a group of maids and came to Su Qiaoer's yard in a grand manner.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Su Qiaoer sitting at the table embroidering.

He looked so leisurely.

Lin Wanqing sneered in her heart, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Mrs. Su is in such a good mood, she's actually embroidering here."

She walked lightly in front of Su Qiaoer and said, "But, with your status, aren't you a little unworthy of this exquisite embroidery?"

Su Qiaoer's expression changed slightly when she heard this.

She naturally knew that Lin Wanqing had something else in mind.

"I wonder what Concubine Lin means by this?"

She put down the embroidery in her hand and glanced at Lin Wanqing indifferently.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Wanqing sneered, "Madam Su, let's not mince words. You know exactly who you are."

"As a merchant's daughter, how can you be qualified to be the Crown Prince's concubine? Not to mention the Crown Prince's consort!"

"I advise you to have some self-awareness and not to covet things that don't belong to you."

Su Qiaoer's face darkened when she heard this.

"Princess, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."

"Although I am the daughter of a merchant, I am from an honest family. You cannot slander me like this."
