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

They knew Lin Wanqing's methods and dared not talk nonsense anymore.

"Thank you, Princess..." Several people kowtowed to express their gratitude, then crawled away.

Lin Wanqing looked at the backs of the people leaving, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

There must be someone behind this!

She will definitely find out!!

Lin Wanqing left the restaurant with a few maids and returned to the palace.

"Princess, those people have been dealt with." A maid came forward and spoke respectfully.

"Yes." Lin Wanqing nodded. "Go check the backgrounds of those people and see if there is anything suspicious about them."

"Yes." The maid took the order and left.

Not long after, the maid came back.

"Princess, I've already investigated thoroughly," the maidservant said respectfully. "Those people have different backgrounds, some high and some low. They probably didn't collude with each other."

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly when he heard this.

This is weird...

If those people didn't collude with each other, why did they get sick at the same time?

"Princess, should we tell the prince about this?" the maid asked tentatively.

She knew that the relationship between Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan was not good, so she didn't dare to make a decision on her own.

"No need." Lin Wanqing waved his hand, "I can handle this matter myself."

She wanted to see who was behind this!

Lin Wanqing came to the kitchen with several maids.

When the people in the kitchen saw Lin Wanqing, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

They all knew Lin Wanqing's methods and were afraid of provoking her.

"Princess," the kitchen maid came forward and said respectfully, "Why are you here?"

"This princess is coming to the kitchen to take a look." Lin Wanqing said calmly, "Something happened in the restaurant today, and this princess needs to get to the bottom of it."

"Yes," the housekeeper nodded. "Princess, please ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."

"Yes." Lin Wanqing nodded, then looked at the others, "The same goes for you. If this princess finds out that you're hiding something, you'll bear the consequences!"

"Yes," everyone responded, and then began to answer Lin Wanqing's question.

After some questioning, Lin Wanqing did not find anything suspicious.

Everyone was doing things according to the usual procedures and nothing went wrong.

This is strange.

Lin Wanqing frowned and glanced around the kitchen.

She always felt like she had overlooked something important.

"Are you sure you haven't missed anything?" Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice, "If this princess finds out, none of you will have a good life!"

When everyone heard this, they trembled and shook their heads.

"Princess, you are very discerning! We servants really know nothing."

At this moment, a maid suddenly said: "Princess, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Lin Wanqing looked at the maid.

"Today, I saw the kitchen purchaser sneaking around in a corner with a man," the maid said softly, lowering her head. "The man gave the purchaser a package, and then she left in a hurry."

"What does that man look like?" Lin Wanqing narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.

"I didn't see clearly," the maid shook her head, "the man was wearing a veil, so I couldn't see his face clearly."

"Take him away!" Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice, "Bring that purchaser to me! If he dares to resist, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Several guards took the order and left.

Not long after, the purchasing manager was brought up.

When he saw Lin Wanqing, he trembled and knelt down quickly: "Princess...Princess, please spare my life! I don't know anything.

"Do you know what crime you have committed?" Lin Wanqing looked down at him, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"I...I know I was wrong," the purchasing manager lowered his head and trembled.

"Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?" Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice, "If you don't tell me, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

The purchasing manager gritted his teeth and didn't dare to speak.

"Princess, please spare me! I really didn't know," the purchasing agent cried. "I just worked with the maids at the restaurant to make a little money. I really didn't poison anyone!"

"Give and take?" Lin Wanqing raised an eyebrow. "Speak clearly!"

"It's like this," the purchasing manager didn't dare to hide anything and told the whole story.

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to a maid in the restaurant. The two of them had an affair and often took things out of the restaurant to sell them and then split the money.

"Did you change the things today?" Lin Wanqing asked in a deep voice.

"No," the buyer shook his head, "Today's items are the same as usual, there's nothing wrong with them."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

She knew the man was not lying.

"Bring that maid here!" Lin Wanqing said in a deep voice.

Not long after, a pretty maid was brought up.

"Princess, please spare my life! I know I was wrong." The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"Did you replace those things?" Lin Wanqing asked coldly.

"I did it," the maid nodded, "but I only substituted some inferior goods, I didn't poison it!"

"Where's the evidence?" Lin Wanqing narrowed her eyes. "This princess wants evidence!"

The maid was stunned.

She did it very secretly and left no evidence at all.

"Evidence?" Lin Wanqing sneered, "Without evidence, how can this princess trust you?"

"Princess, I really know I was wrong," the maid cried, "Please forgive me! I will never do it again."

"Don't dare?" Lin Wanqing narrowed her eyes. "This princess thinks you are very brave! Come on! Take her away! Give her thirty lashes! And then sell her out!"

"Yes!" The guards took the order and took the maid away.

Since the princess wanted to deal with someone, the servants naturally did not dare to stop her.

The princess was the head of the household and her methods were ruthless, so they didn't dare to ask for mercy even if they wanted to.

Lin Wanqing stood there with a deep look in his eyes.

"Princess," the housekeeper stepped forward, "this matter has been dealt with. What about the purchase?"

"Lock him up first," Lin Wanqing said calmly, "I'll deal with him after I've thoroughly investigated the matter."

"Yes." The housekeeper responded and then retreated.

Lin Wanqing stood in the yard, looking at the sky in the distance.

What exactly did she overlook?

A gust of wind blew, bringing a hint of chill.

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and prepared to continue investigating.

She just doesn't believe that she can't find the mastermind behind this!

At this moment, Pearl suddenly said: "Princess, who do you think did it?"

"I don't know." Lin Wanqing shook his head. "This matter is so confusing that it's hard to find any clues."

"Complicated and confusing?" Pei'er tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. "Why does the princess say that?"

"Think about it," Lin Wanqing said, "the poisoned person couldn't have poisoned himself, and the people in the kitchen wouldn't have the guts to do that. Could it be that a ghost had poisoned him?"

"Ah!" Pei'er screamed and hid behind Lin Wanqing, "Princess, don't scare me."

Lin Wanqing looked at her, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Okay, there's no ghost," she said, "This incident must have been man-made, but we just haven't found any clues yet."
