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

When the man heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he sneered.

"A mere tea shop is worthy of the Princess's personal attention?"

Lin Wanqing's eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he said firmly, "Although the teahouse is small, it is the product of my heart and soul. It is also a place for countless people to relax. If you are truly dissatisfied, you can speak frankly. Why make such a fuss?"

The man was intimidated by Lin Wanqing's aura and was speechless for a moment.

He stared at Lin Wanqing in front of him, as if he had not expected that this princess would be so courageous and dare to meet him alone without fear.

Shen Jingyuan stood aside, looking alert and ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

A sinister look flashed in the man's eyes, and he snorted coldly.

"The Princess is very courageous, but there are some things that are beyond your control. If you know what's good for you, go back to take care of your husband and children and don't get involved in these trivial matters."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, he sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

"My little shill? Young Master smashed my tea shop and you call it a little shill? If you don't explain the reason today, I will definitely get to the bottom of it."

The man was shocked by Lin Wanqing's determination and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He stared at Lin Wanqing in front of him, feeling a little flustered.

He originally thought that the princess was just a pampered woman, but he didn't expect her to be so courageous and bold.

Seeing this, Shen Jingyuan took the opportunity to speak and ease the atmosphere.

"We're all polite people, why get angry? Can't we just talk it out nicely?"

The man glanced at Shen Jingyuan and knew that there would be no peaceful ending today.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Well, since the Princess is so insistent, I'll just say it straight out. Someone doesn't like you, so let me teach you a lesson."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, his heart tightened, but he remained calm.

"Oh? Who is it that dislikes me so much?"

The man said no more, just snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Lin Wanqing knew that she probably wouldn't be able to ask any more questions today. Although she felt unwilling, she also understood that this matter needed to be considered carefully.

She stood up and bowed slightly to the man.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I will keep your words in mind."

After saying that, she turned and left, followed closely by Shen Jingyuan.

After returning home, Lin Wanqing fell into deep thought.

She understood that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this matter, and what that person said was just the tip of the iceberg.

She thought of what she had experienced in the past and felt a chill in her heart.

But then, she was filled with a firm belief.

No matter who is behind this, she will find out one by one and seek justice for herself.

Seeing her serious expression, Shen Jingyuan comforted her softly.

"Mrs. Lin, this matter cannot be rushed. We need to investigate slowly."

Lin Wanqing nodded, a determined glint in his eyes.

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

Lin Wanqing returned home. Although his heart was in turmoil, his face remained calm.

Closing teahouses is not a long-term solution, but an escape.

As the night deepened, she sat alone in her study, the flickering candlelight illuminating her resolute face.

Just as she was lost in thought, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

It was her personal maid, Pei'er, who said anxiously, "Miss, are you really going to continue investigating? Those people are not simple. What if..."

Lin Wanqing gently held Pei'er's hand, warm and firm.

"Pei'er, you know my character. I never give up easily. The teahouse is not only where my heart and soul are, but also the battlefield where I prove myself. If I retreat now, won't those behind the scenes succeed?"

Before he could finish his words, there was a light knock on the door.

A woman in nightgown entered quietly and knelt on one knee.

"Princess, I am Shadow, ordered by the Prince to come and help you."

Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned, then smiled.

I wrote a letter to Lu Shengyuan a few days ago, but I didn’t expect Lu Shengyuan to act so quickly.

As expected, she had considered everything carefully. The appearance of this shadow undoubtedly increased her chances of winning.

"Shadow, do you have any clues about the person behind this?"

Lin Wanqing asked, his eyes sharp.

Shadow bowed his head and replied, "Princess, I haven't been able to directly find out the identity of this person."

Seeing this, Pei'er's eyes turned red and her voice was choked with sobs.

"Miss, I know you are determined, but those who are secretly plotting this are treacherous. If they harm you in the slightest, I will be held responsible. How about... we close the teahouse and find another way to live in peace?"

After saying this, she gently placed her hands on Lin Wanqing's shoulders, full of reluctance and worry.

Lin Wanqing sighed softly and stroked the back of Pei'er's hand.

"Pei'er, running away won't solve the problem. Only by facing it can we see the light."

Before he finished speaking, the air in the study seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Princess, Shadow is here and will do everything in my power to protect you. No matter how thorny the road ahead may be, with Shadow at your back, you will have nothing to fear."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a trace of gratitude and relief flashed in his eyes.

"Shadow, I naturally trust your loyalty. With you here, I'm more confident in finding the person behind this."

Shadow nodded and continued, "Although I haven't directly verified this person's identity, I've discovered that those who caused the trouble had come into contact with a mysterious man before the incident at the teahouse. He moves in a mysterious way, and whenever he appears, he wears a bamboo hat, making his face unclear."

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"A mysterious man...his whereabouts are mysterious...it seems that this person is the key."

She stood up, walked to the window, looked up at the starry sky, and had a plan in mind.

"Shadow, continue your secret investigation. Once you discover the whereabouts of that mysterious man, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Princess."

The shadow retreated and the study returned to peace.

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and turned to look at Pei'er.

"Pearl, you don't have to worry. With Shadow here, and if we act carefully, we'll be able to overcome this danger."

Pei'er nodded, and although she was still worried, she said no more.

She knew that her young lady had always been independent-minded and courageous, and no one could change what she decided.

After Lin Wanqing comforted Pei'er, he fell into deep thought again.

She knew that the days ahead would probably not be peaceful.

But so what?

She, Lin Wanqing, has never been a timid person!

When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. She wants to see how big a wave this person behind the scenes can make!

In the following days, Lin Wanqing asked Shadow to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the mysterious man while reopening the teahouse.

But this time, she strengthened the security measures in the teahouse to prevent those troublemakers from causing trouble again.

However, what Lin Wanqing did not expect was that on the first day the teahouse reopened, the mysterious man actually came to her door.

That afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and Lin Wanqing was checking the accounts in the teahouse.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw a man wearing a bamboo hat walking in.

The man was tall, with an angular face visible under his hat.

Although the whole picture cannot be seen clearly, it reveals a sense of coldness.

Lin Wanqing's heart tightened, but he remained expressionless.

"Sir, are you here for tea?"

She asked softly, her tone calm.

The man glanced at her with a deep look in his eyes.

"Are you the boss here?"

Lin Wanqing nodded: "Exactly."

The man pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I heard you've been checking on me lately?"

Lin Wanqing was startled, but quickly regained her composure.
