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

"cousin……"

Lin Wan'er's voice trembled, her lips pursed slightly, and her eyes were filled with hesitation and determination.

The air around them seemed to have stopped flowing at this moment, with only the breeze gently blowing the hair on their temples.

Lin Wan'er took a deep breath, finally making up her mind, and slowly spoke, "Actually, these injuries were all caused by my husband's mother."

"What?" Lin Wanqing's voice suddenly rose several decibels, her face full of disbelief. "Why did she do this to you?"

In Lin Wanqing's impression, Lin Wan'er's husband is a gentle and elegant scholar, and his mother should also be kind and gentle. Why would she target him like this?

However, the reality was far beyond her imagination.

Lin Wan'er smiled bitterly, with helplessness and grief in her eyes.

"Although my husband is a son-in-law, his mother is a powerful figure. Taking advantage of the fact that my husband's biological mother had long passed away, she has monopolized the property left by Wang Xianggong's biological mother. She also regards me, the new bride, as a thorn in her side."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves slightly, revealing the scars on her arms.

Lin Wanqing looked at the shocking wounds and couldn't help but gasp.

She couldn't imagine what Lin Wan'er had been through in the Qin family. After all, Lin Wan'er was Zhao Zhiyuan's wife! How could a mother be so bossy, beating, and scolding her daughter-in-law?

"She's really going too far!" Lin Wanqing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

She couldn't imagine what her cousin had gone through in the Qin family, and couldn't help but hug Lin Wan'er with heartache.

Lin Wan'er shook her head gently, the bitterness in her eyes growing stronger.

"In this family, I have absolutely no status at all. Although my husband treats me well, he is a filial son and never dares to disobey his mother. I can only endure all this silently."

Lin Wanqing felt so sorry for what he heard that his sympathy and pity for Lin Wan'er grew even deeper.

It is hard to imagine that behind this seemingly glamorous family, there is such an unbearable truth hidden.

"Wan'er, you can't go on like this."

Lin Wanqing's voice was firm and powerful. She held Lin Wan'er's hand tightly and saw her grievances, despair and pain.

"You are a human being, not a toy to be slaughtered! You have the right to pursue your own happiness and dignity!"

Hearing this, a trace of emotion flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes. She raised her head blankly, her eyes revealing a trace of confusion and struggle.

"But...I, I don't know what to do."

Just then, a maid ran up hurriedly.

"Princess, the prince has returned and is waiting for you in the study."

Lin Wanqing's heart moved slightly. Perhaps this was an opportunity, an opportunity to help her cousin out of trouble.

She turned to look at Lin Wan'er, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"Wait for me to come back, I will definitely help you get justice!"

Lin Wanqing hurried to the study and pushed the door open.

I saw Lu Shengyuan sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.

Hearing the noise, he raised his head, and when he saw that it was Lin Wanqing, a hint of tenderness flashed across his brows.

"What's the matter? Such a hurry."

Lin Wanqing didn't beat around the bush. She walked straight to Lu Shengyuan and looked at him with burning eyes.

"Do you still remember the son-in-law you found for Lin Wan'er?

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly, as if he was trying hard to recall.

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" His voice was calm, but there was a hint of alertness in his eyes. He could feel that there was something wrong with Lin Wanqing's mood.

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and told her everything that had happened to Lin Wan'er, not missing a single detail.

As she spoke, Lu Shengyuan's face became increasingly gloomy.

The air in the study seemed to be frozen, and it was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

"That's unreasonable!"

Lu Shengyuan slammed the table and stood up, his eyes burning with anger. He never thought that his good intentions would bring such deep suffering to Lin Wan'er.

"I'll go find them and confront them face to face!"

Lu Shengyuan's voice was cold and firm. He turned around and tried to leave, but was grabbed by Lin Wanqing.

"Wait!" A trace of worry flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes. "If you go like this, won't you alert the enemy? What if they deny it flatly, or it will be even more disadvantageous to Wan'er?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan paused, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"Then what do you say we should do?" He looked at Lin Wanqing, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in his eyes.

Lin Wanqing pondered for a moment, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

"We will secretly investigate and collect evidence, and we will make them convinced!"

A hint of admiration flashed across Lu Shengyuan's eyes, and he held Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, as if he was holding his backbone.

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

The two began to discuss the specific plan.

"You go find Wan'er first and comfort her, tell her not to panic. We will definitely take care of her." Lu Shengyuan's voice was steady and powerful, as if it could dispel all the haze.

Lin Wanqing nodded. Wan'er must be very panicked and scared at this time, and what she needed most was comfort and support.

"What about you? Where do you plan to start your investigation?"

A sharp glint flashed across Lu Shengyuan's eyes.

"Start investigating that son-in-law and his mother. I want to see who they are and how dare they bully Lin Wan'er like this!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Wanqing, his tone softening a bit, "Where is Wan'er now?"

Lin Wanqing immediately understood what he meant, "You want to go see her?"

Lu Shengyuan nodded, a hint of worry and concern in his eyes. "She is your cousin, and now she has been framed. As her brother-in-law, I naturally have to go see her."

A warm feeling suddenly surged in Lin Wanqing's heart.

"She's resting in the backyard room," Lin Wanqing said softly, "You go ahead. I'll arrange for someone to collect evidence later."

Lu Shengyuan nodded, turned around and strode towards the backyard.

He walked quickly, his heart filled with worry and anger.

When he pushed open the door of the wing room, he saw Lin Wan'er lying quietly on the bed, her face pale and her expression haggard, like a delicate flower that was about to wither.

Hearing the noise, Lin Wan'er slowly raised her head. When she saw that the person coming was Lu Shengyuan, a hint of surprise and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

Lu Shengyuan walked to the bedside and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Wan'er, don't be afraid. I'm here to see you."

A warm feeling suddenly surged in Lin Wan'er's heart.

This high and mighty prince, her cousin's husband, was willing to come and visit her, an insignificant cousin, in person.

"Your Highness, I..." Lin Wan'er's voice was choked with sobs, tears flashing in her eyes. She didn't know how to face all this.

Lu Shengyuan patted the back of her hand gently, his voice soft but firm.

"Wan'er, I already know everything. Don't worry, the princess and I will definitely seek justice for you!"
