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

Upon hearing this, Pei'er nodded with a determined look on her face.

"Don't worry, miss. I will be careful."

Lin Wanqing looked at her, smiled, and said, "That's good. We'll just wait and see what happens in the next few days to see what they're planning to do."

Time flies, and a few days pass in a flash.

In the past few days, Lin Wanqing has been staying in the Prince's Mansion and has not gone out. The people who caused trouble in the teahouse that day have not appeared again.

The people Shen Jingyuan sent to investigate have not received any news.

All of this is like the calm before the storm, making people feel uneasy.

That day, Lin Wanqing was basking in the sun in the yard when suddenly a waiter ran in hurriedly.

"Miss, no, something happened!"

Lin Wanqing looked at him, her heart tightening, and she quickly asked, "What happened? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

The waiter took a breath and said, "Miss, our tea shop was smashed!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing stood up abruptly with anger on his face.

"Do you know who did it?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "I don't know. They were a group of masked men. I couldn't see their faces clearly. They smashed the tea shop and ran away. We didn't have time to react."

Lin Wanqing frowned, clenched his hands into fists, and an indescribable anger surged in his heart.

This is definitely not a coincidence, it must be the work of the person behind the scenes.

"Pei'er, come with me to the tea shop."

She ordered calmly.

Seeing this, Pei'er quickly agreed. Although she was extremely anxious, she trusted and supported Lin Wanqing more.

The two men hurriedly changed into casual clothes and rushed to the teahouse with a few servants.

The front of the tea shop was in a mess, with tables and chairs scattered on the ground, and broken teapots and teacups everywhere. The tranquility and elegance of the past were gone.

Some people gathered around to watch the fun and talked a lot, but no one dared to step forward to help.

Lin Wanqing walked in, looked around, and felt mixed emotions.

This is not only her hard work, but also the foundation for her to gain a foothold in this troubled world.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and whispered to Pearl: "Clean up the scene first, then find someone to repair it. Remember, don't make it public, and investigate secretly."

Pei'er nodded and quickly organized the servants to take action.

Lin Wanqing quietly blended into the crowd, trying to catch a clue from the words of the bystanders.

Just as she was thinking, a familiar figure flashed through her mind - Shen Jingyuan.

She thought to herself that maybe he could help, but then she thought that asking him for help rashly might bring him unnecessary trouble.

Just when she was hesitating, Shen Jingyuan unexpectedly appeared in front of her.

"Mrs. Lin, are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned, then showed gratitude: "Master Shen, why are you here?"

"I heard something happened at the tea shop and I was worried about your safety, so I came here specially."

Shen Jingyuan looked around, his brows furrowed. "Who did this? So brazen."

Lin Wanqing smiled bitterly: "I don't know either, but I guess someone is deliberately targeting me."

Shen Jingyuan pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will help you find out."

Lin Wanqing felt a warm feeling in her heart, and her gratitude overflowed from her words: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your help. However, this matter involves a lot of people, and I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Shen Jingyuan interrupted her, his eyes flashing with determination and wisdom.

"You just need to focus on running the tea shop, and I will take care of the rest."

Lin Wanqing looked at his determined eyes, and the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart instantly dissipated a lot.

Lin Wanqing and Shen Jingyuan stood side by side in front of the ruins of the teahouse.

Lin Wanqing opened her red lips slightly, her eyes flashing with complex light.

"Mr. Shen, the tea shop was smashed today. I have a feeling that the man who caused trouble there last time was responsible. He was very arrogant that day, and you seem to know something about him. Could you tell me a little bit about who he is?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyuan frowned slightly, as if he was weighing something.

After a moment, he sighed softly.

"Madam Lin, since you asked, I won't hide it anymore. That man is a distant relative of a powerful official in the court. He relies on his family's influence to bully the people. I know he's doing bad things, but due to personal relationships and family interests, I haven't been able to confront him head-on."

Lin Wanqing was shocked when he heard this.

"Mr. Shen, I will get to the bottom of this matter and give justice to the tea shop."

Seeing her determination, Shen Jingyuan couldn't help but feel admiration for her.

He nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with approval.

"Madam Lin, I will do my utmost to help you with this matter."

Lin Wanqing looked at Shen Jingyuan with a firm gaze.

"Mr. Shen, I have made up my mind. I want to meet the man who caused trouble in the tea shop. I want to personally ask him why he is targeting my tea shop like this."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyuan frowned and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Mrs. Lin, this may be dangerous. That person has a bad temper, and the forces behind him are complicated. I'm afraid..."

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Master Shen. As the princess of a county prince, I have my responsibilities. Even if they have a thousand tricks, they dare not be rude to me openly. However, I need Master Shen's help in introducing me. After all, it is safer to have you by my side in such occasions."

Shen Jingyuan looked at Lin Wanqing's eyes that were full of determination, and couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.

This princess is not only gentle and virtuous, but also has courage and wisdom that is no less than that of men.

After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded slowly and agreed.

"In that case, Madam Lin, I will make arrangements for you. But remember, you must proceed with caution. I will secretly arrange for people to protect you."

Shen Jingyuan's voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable firmness.

Lin Wanqing nodded gratefully, and the two smiled at each other, as if no more words were needed. The tacit understanding and trust quietly took root at this moment.

Afterwards, Shen Jingyuan began to make arrangements, striving to pave the most reliable path for Lin Wanqing's meeting with the powerful official's distant relative.

Lin Wanqing returned home, feeling both nervous and expectant.

It was late at night, and the moonlight shone through the window onto her desk. She picked up her pen and wrote quickly, quietly sending out letter after letter.

The next morning, Lin Wanqing wore a simple dress with only a white jade hairpin in her hair, looking exceptionally dignified yet gentle.

Shen Jingyuan was already waiting outside the mansion. The two looked at each other and without saying anything, they went to the agreed place together.

On the way, Shen Jingyuan explained the background of the powerful official's distant relative in detail and gave many precautions.

Lin Wanqing memorized them all in his mind, without showing any panic on his face.

When they arrived at a quiet teahouse, the powerful official's distant relative was already waiting in the private room.

The door opened slightly, and the aroma of tea wafted into the air.

Lin Wanqing stepped in and saw the man dressed in gorgeous clothes with an arrogant look.

Seeing her come in, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Wanqing's expression was calm, and he spoke frankly after bowing.

"I am Princess Lin Wanqing of the County Prince. I have come to ask you today why you have repeatedly targeted my tea shop."
