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

Lu Ming's heart tightened. Who was this person? Why would they come to disturb him at this time?

Su Qiao'er also frowned. She signaled Lu Ming to be quiet, then walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"Qiaoer, it's me, open the door quickly!" An anxious voice came from outside the door.

When Su Qiaoer heard this voice, she felt relieved.

"Cousin? Why are you here?" Su Qiaoer asked in surprise. She opened the door and saw Su Yingying standing outside with an anxious look on her face.

Su Yingying is Su Qiaoer's cousin. She is also beautiful, but compared to Su Qiaoer, she is more fragile and delicate.

"Qiao'er, I..." Su Yingying hesitated to speak, tears welling up in her eyes.

Su Qiaoer suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart: "Cousin, what happened?"

Su Yingying nodded. She hugged Su Qiao'er and cried, "Qiao'er, I can't live in the palace anymore. They...they treat me like a maid and make me do all the dirty and tiring work. I really can't stand it anymore!"

Su Yingying was crying loudly while speaking, and she looked so miserable.

When Su Qiaoer heard this, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

My cousin definitely won't have an easy time in the palace. After all, she is just a concubine's cousin with a low status, so it is normal for her to be bullied.

"Okay, cousin, don't cry. Come in and talk." Su Qiaoer comforted softly. She pulled Su Yingying into the house and closed the door.

Su Yingying sat on a stool, sobbing and telling about her experience in the palace.

As Su Qiaoer listened, her expression became increasingly grim.

She didn't expect that the people in the palace would bully her cousin like this.

Lu Ming also frowned. Although he didn't like Su Yingying, she was Su Qiaoer's cousin after all, and he couldn't let her be bullied.

"Qiaoer, what are you going to do?" Lu Ming asked.

A hint of coldness flashed in Su Qiaoer's eyes: "Minglang, we can't just sit there and wait for death. If we don't find a solution, we will just be bullied to death by them."

"You mean..." Lu Ming looked at Su Qiaoer in surprise.

"We must act quickly. Only by gaining real power can we protect ourselves and the people around us." Su Qiaoer said firmly, "If you don't fight for it, we will be bullied to death by them sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming remained silent.

Su Qiaoer was right. If they didn't find a solution, they would only be bullied by others.

"Then tell me, what should we do?" Lu Ming asked.

A hint of coldness flashed in Su Qiaoer's eyes: "Minglang, have you forgotten our plan?"

"You mean..." Lu Ming looked at Su Qiaoer in surprise.

Su Qiaoer nodded: "That's right, we must speed up the plan. Only by acting quickly can we gain real power."

"But..." Lu Ming hesitated, "Isn't this too risky?"

"Minglang, we have no way out." Su Qiaoer held Lu Ming's hand tightly. "Only by giving it our all can we have a chance of success."

Lu Ming looked at Su Qiaoer's determined eyes and nodded.

Su Qiaoer was right, they, they had to give it a try.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Who?" Su Qiaoer asked vigilantly.

"It's me, the princess's maid." A crisp voice came from outside the door.

Su Qiaoer's heart tightened. She signaled Lu Ming to hide, then walked to the door and opened it.

"Princess, please ask my cousin to come over." The maid outside the door said in a low voice.

When Su Yingying heard this, her expression suddenly changed.

She looked at Su Qiaoer, a hint of help flashing in her eyes.

Su Qiaoer's heart sank. The princess asked Su Yingying to come over at this time, which must be something bad.

"Cousin, don't worry, I'll go with you." Su Qiaoer said softly.

Although she didn't like the princess, she couldn't just stand by and watch her cousin being bullied.

Su Yingying nodded gratefully. She held Su Qiaoer's hand tightly and followed the little maid to the princess's yard.

As soon as she entered the room, Su Qiaoer saw Princess Lin Wanqing sitting in the main seat, looking at them with a gloomy expression.

"Your servants pay their respects to the princess." Su Qiaoer and Su Yingying hurriedly saluted.

Lin Wanqing glanced at them coldly, then said in a cold voice: "Su Yingying, you are so bold that you dare to act wildly in my house. Who gave you the courage?"

Su Yingying was so frightened when she heard this that she trembled all over. She knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Princess, please understand. I dare not. I just... just..."

"Just what?" Lin Wanqing asked coldly.

"It's just...it's just that I can't live in the palace. They...they treat me like a maid, and I really can't stand it." Su Yingying said, and started crying again.

Lin Wanqing listened to her sobbing, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Humph, who do you think you are? You are just a concubine's cousin, and you dare to put on airs in my house? I think you are tired of living!"

"Princess, please spare me, Princess, please spare me!" Su Yingying kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Lin Wanqing looked at her, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes. She waved her hand and said, "Take her away and give her twenty heavy spankings to teach her a lesson."

"Yes." Two guards came forward, carried Su Yingying and walked out.

Su Qiaoer watched, feeling extremely anxious. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was making a difficult decision.

Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer and sneered, "What? Are you heartbroken?

She wants to plead for Su Yingying? Don't forget, you are just a lowly concubine. If I want to beat her, it is not your turn to interrupt! "

Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoer bit her lower lip tightly, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

The princess was deliberately humiliating her, but she couldn't swallow her anger.

"Princess, I know you are of noble status. I dare not plead for my cousin, but I would like to ask you to listen to me." Su Qiaoer said in a low voice, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Oh? Do you have anything to say?" Lin Wanqing raised his eyebrows and motioned her to continue.

Su Qiao'er took a deep breath and said, "Princess, you hit my cousin just for the sake of pleasure. However, if this gets out, it will be bad for your reputation. People will say you are narrow-minded, which will damage your prestige."

What the princess values ​​most is her own reputation and prestige, and she will never allow anyone to damage it.

Sure enough, Lin Wanqing's expression changed slightly after hearing her words.

Although she is arrogant and domineering, she also knows the importance of reputation.

"Hmph, you're quite good at talking." Lin Wanqing snorted coldly, "But do you think you can move me with just a few words? I'm telling you, if I don't beat her today, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

"princess……"

"That's enough!" Lin Wanqing stopped her, "If you plead for her again, I'll beat you too!"

Su Qiaoer was startled when she heard this.
