"Madam Su is wrong. How can a woman be confined to the boudoir? The world is vast, and if you have lofty ambitions, why fear the storms?"

She slowly walked to the window, her eyes penetrating through numerous obstacles, as if she had seen the farther and wider world.

"As for praying, I have my own divine presence in my heart. It doesn't matter what the form is. If Lu Shengyuan is truly in trouble, I will help him with actions, rather than just guarding the temple and doing useless work."

Su Qiaoer's face changed slightly when she heard this. She had not expected Lin Wanqing to refute her so directly, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

Lin Wanqing turned around, his eyes sharp.

"Auntie Su, you and I have different paths to take. You should go back."

Su Qiaoer knew that she would not be able to find out any more information today. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Madam, you are absolutely right. I am short-sighted. In that case, I will not disturb you any further and will take my leave."

After saying that, she turned and left, her steps still light, but there was a hint of loneliness and unwillingness in her back.

Lin Wanqing looked in the direction she left, his eyes deep and complicated.

She knew that Su Qiaoer was not as simple as she seemed, but she also knew that everyone had their own choices and paths to take.

And she is destined not to be confined to this small world.

"Pei'er, come with me to the teahouse."

She averted her gaze, her voice firm and decisive.

"Yes, ma'am."

Pearl answered and followed closely behind.

The two of them walked out of the room together and headed towards the teahouse.

Although it has become a ruin, it is also her new beginning.

Lin Wanqing knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but she would never back down!

She wanted to see how big a storm the person behind this could stir up!

Outside the teahouse.

The once bustling streets were now deserted, with only the smell of burning still lingering in the air.

Lin Wanqing stood in front of the ruins, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.

"Pei'er, send a message to Mr. Shen, asking him to investigate this matter and find out who is behind it."

"Yes, ma'am."

Pei'er left immediately, leaving Lin Wanqing standing alone in the wind.

She looked at the ruins in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

The teahouse is not only the product of her hard work, but also a place of comfort in her heart.

Now, this hope has been burned to ashes, how can she not be heartbroken?

However, despite her heartache, she also understood that this was not the time to be sad.

The only way is to cheer up and find out the mastermind behind the scenes, can you rebuild the teahouse and seek justice for yourself!

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

She knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but she would never back down!

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance.

Lin Wanqing looked back and saw Pei'er and Shen Jingyuan rushing over.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Shen Jingyuan asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Mr. Shen. Thank you for your help this time."

Lin Wanqing shook her head, her voice revealing determination and trust.

"Madam, you are too kind. I will definitely see to it."

Shen Jingyuan said with a firm look.

Lin Wanqing felt relieved after hearing this.

She knew that Shen Jingyuan was a trustworthy person.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Shen."

She nodded slightly, her eyes revealing gratitude and trust.

Shen Jingyuan nodded, turned around and began to investigate the clues in the ruins.

Lin Wanqing took Pei'er with her and began to question witnesses around.

She believed that as long as someone had seen a suspicious person, they would be able to find clues.

After some investigation, Lin Wanqing and Shen Jingyuan both found some suspicious points.

However, there are too few clues to determine the identity of the person behind the incident.

As the sky grew darker, Lin Wanqing knew that he could not continue the investigation today.

She looked at the ruins in front of her and swore secretly in her heart: No matter who is behind this, she will find him out and seek justice for herself!

After returning to the mansion, Lin Wanqing told Lu Shengyuan the results of today's investigation.

After hearing this, Lu Shengyuan frowned.

"There must be something fishy about this matter. I will have the secret guards continue to investigate."

There was firmness and determination in his voice, as if he had seen the fate of the mastermind behind the incident.

Lin Wanqing nodded, feeling a little relieved.

She knew that with Lu Shengyuan around, the matter would be solved.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan secretly investigated the matter.

However, the mastermind behind the scenes seemed to be extremely cunning and did not leave any clues.

Pei'er looked at Lin Wanqing's furrowed brow, her heart filled with worry.

"Miss, what should we do? The clues are so slim."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing shook her head slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "No hurry, Pei'er, let's go back home first, I have my own plans."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lin Wanqing and Pei'er slowly walked into the Lu Mansion, each step appearing exceptionally steady.

When she entered the main hall, she saw that Mrs. Lu had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Lin Wanqing step in, a kind smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Wanqing is here, come and sit down."

Lin Wanqing walked to the old lady's side and bowed according to etiquette. The old lady quickly extended her hand to support him, her eyes full of pity.

After some pleasantries, Lin Wanqing slowly mentioned his recent experiences.

"Old Madam, although I've encountered many setbacks recently, I have my own thoughts. However, regarding the reconstruction of the teahouse, I would like to hear your opinion."

Upon hearing this, the old lady's face froze slightly and she gently stroked the back of Lin Wanqing's hand.

He said earnestly, "Wanqing, you have always been a child with strong opinions, but as for the affairs of the teahouse, you are a girl, so you should put family matters first."

When Lin Wanqing heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"Madam, I understand your painstaking efforts, but the teahouse is more than just a livelihood for me. I am willing to use my own strength to find out the truth and rebuild the teahouse to prove that women can also hold up the sky."

Her voice was firm, showing no sign of backing down.

The old lady looked at her steadily, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she patted the back of her hand gently.

"In that case, you can do it with confidence. No matter what the result is, the Lu family will always be your backer."

Lin Wanqing's eyes warmed slightly when she heard this, and her gratitude was beyond words: "Thank you, old lady."

With the support of the old lady, Lin Wanqing became more determined.

Lin Wanqing took a sip of tea and turned his gaze gently to the old lady.

"Old Madam, I'd like to ask, is there any young lady in the mansion or in the capital who is particularly infatuated with Sheng Yuan, almost to the point of obsession?"

When the old lady heard this, a trace of memory flashed in her kind eyes and she gently put down the teacup in her hand.

"Shengyuan has been a talented and elegant child since childhood. Naturally, he is quite popular among the girls in the capital. There are many who have a special liking for him, but now..."

When the old lady said this, there was a hint of worry in her tone.

"He was poisoned. After word spread, even the young ladies from official families who had originally admired him became reluctant to approach him."
