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

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes full of confidence. "Yes, it's difficult to prove your innocence, but we don't need to prove our innocence. We can just invite our mother to the restaurant and have her come forward to clarify the rumors for you. How about that?"

Mother?

Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then realized that the mother Lu Shengyuan was talking about was the old lady of Prince Lu's Mansion.

The old lady holds a high status in Prince Lu's Mansion and is deeply respected by the clan members.

If she was willing to stand up and speak for Lin Wanqing, those rumors would naturally disappear.

Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up and her heart was filled with gratitude.

Why didn't she think of this method?

"Your Highness, thank you." Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan, her tone a little excited. "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly and patted Lin Wanqing's shoulder gently: "Wanqing, you are my princess, so I should naturally share your worries."

Lin Wanqing felt warm in her heart. She looked at Lu Shengyuan with a determined look in her eyes. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely work hard to revitalize the restaurant and won't let you down!"

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing with admiration in his eyes: "I believe in you, you can definitely do it."

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

There is still a long way to go, but she is confident and determined to bring the restaurant back to life!

The two discussed for a while and decided to go back to the palace to find the old lady.

After returning to the palace, Lin Wanqing did not go back to his own courtyard, but went directly to the old lady's residence.

The key to the success of this matter lies in the old lady.

"Madam, the princess is here." The maid went in to announce and came out soon, "Please come in."

Lin Wanqing nodded and walked into the room.

In the room, the old lady was sitting on a soft couch, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand and reading it carefully.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw a kind smile on Lin Wanqing's face: "Wanqing, why are you here?"

Lin Wanqing smiled and walked to the old lady, holding her arm affectionately: "Mother, I came to see you."

The old lady patted Lin Wanqing's hand, her eyes full of love: "Good boy, you are thoughtful."

Lin Wanqing chuckled: "Mother, I not only have a heart, but I also have something to ask of you."

The old lady was stunned: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and told the old lady everything about the restaurant, including the rumors and her and Lu Shengyuan's plans.

After listening to Lin Wanqing's narration, the old lady's face gradually became solemn, like dark clouds in winter, full of anger and dissatisfaction.

"These people are really going too far. They actually slandered you and made up such ridiculous rumors! It's outrageous!" There was a kind of majesty in her words, which was the power accumulated over the years and should not be underestimated.

A trace of bitterness flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes, like fallen leaves blown by the wind, carrying endless desolation.

"Yes, I was forced into a corner and had no other choice, so I came to you for help." Her voice trembled slightly, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.

The old lady looked at Lin Wanqing, her eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes of life were full of heartache, as if she saw a flower tottering in the wind and rain.

"Wanqing, don't worry. I will definitely help you with this matter. I won't stand by and watch you suffer any injustice, nor will I let the reputation of Prince Lu's Mansion be damaged."

"Mother, are you willing to help me?" Her voice was filled with a hint of disbelief, yet full of anticipation.

The old lady nodded, her tone as firm as a rock: "Of course, you are the princess of our Lu Wangfu. Your affairs are my affairs. How can I watch you being bullied?"

Lin Wanqing's heart was filled with emotion. She held the old lady's hands tightly. Those hands were like a life-saving straw, giving her endless strength.

"Thank you." Her voice was choked and tears welled up in her eyes.

The old lady patted Lin Wanqing's hand gently and said, "Wanqing, tell me how you want me to help you."

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, and told the old lady about her and Lu Shengyuan's plan.

Her voice was clear and powerful, as if every word was filled with determination and confidence: "As long as you come to my restaurant for a meal tomorrow, those rumors will be refuted."

The old lady was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then a smile appeared on her lips: "Is it that simple?"

Lin Wanqing nodded, her eyes firm.

"It's that simple."

As long as the old lady comes forward, those rumors will surely disappear.

The old lady smiled brightly, as warm as the spring sunshine.

"Okay, I'll go to your restaurant tomorrow for a meal and show those people that there's nothing wrong with your restaurant, Lin Wanqing!"

Lin Wanqing was overjoyed: "Thank you, mother!"

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry.

The old lady brought a group of friends to Lin Wanqing's restaurant in a grand manner.

They were all prominent ladies in the capital, who rarely showed up in public. Now that they appeared together in a restaurant, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"Huh? Isn't this the restaurant that has been making a lot of noise recently?" A noble lady looked at the restaurant's sign with a look of surprise on her face.

"Yes, yes, I heard that too. Isn't it said that there is something wrong with the food here? Why did the old lady bring us here?" Another noble lady also echoed.

The old lady looked displeased when she heard this: "Those are all false rumors, don't believe them."

"Besides, this restaurant is opened by our Wanqing. We should support it, right?"

When the noble ladies heard this, they suddenly understood and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, the old lady is right, we must support the princess."

"That's right, let's try the food here today and see if there is any problem."

Then, all the noble ladies walked into the restaurant, and Lin Wanqing came out to greet them personally, with a happy smile on her face: "Ladies, welcome here."

Lin Wanqing welcomed all the noble ladies into the restaurant and immediately ordered the waiters to serve the dishes.

Soon, a table full of sumptuous food was placed in front of everyone.

The ladies looked at the delicacies in front of them with surprise on their faces: "These dishes look so delicious and fragrant."

"Yeah, yeah, it makes me drool just by smelling it."

The old lady smiled at the ladies and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? The food here is delicious."

The ladies nodded and began to taste the food.

As they ate, they praised it highly: "This dish tastes really good, fresh and delicious."

"This one is also good. It has a great color, aroma and taste. It's really a delicacy."

"And this one, I've never eaten such delicious food before."

Lin Wanqing stood aside, watching the noble ladies eating with gusto, and finally felt relieved.

As long as they think it tastes good, then this "counterattack" is half successful.
