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

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing frowned, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

She asked softly, "Afu, please explain in detail. The prince's trip to provide disaster relief is a good deed. Why would he affect other people's interests?"

Ah Fu sobbed, as if trying to calm himself down.

"Madam, you don't know that while this city may seem peaceful, there are actually undercurrents. Since the arrival of the Prince, he has been rectifying the administration, investigating and prosecuting many corrupt officials, and reducing the people's taxes. This is a very good thing."

"But how could those whose interests were affected by the prince let it go? They colluded privately, wanting to teach the prince a lesson, and even..."

At this point, Ah Fu's voice lowered a few notches, his eyes filled with fear.

"Even what?"

Lin Wanqing pressed the issue, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.

Ah Fu continued trembling, "There are even rumors that they want to... take the prince's life to set an example. A small figure like me is just a pawn in their hands. They are threatening me with my child's life, so I have no choice but to obey!"

Lin Wanqing was shocked when he heard this.

She looked at Ah Fu, a complex look flashing in her eyes, a mixture of sympathy and helplessness, which eventually turned into a sigh.

"Do you know that if you make a mistake like this, you will be doomed forever?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Fu felt extremely regretful and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Madam, I know I was wrong. I really do. Please save my children. I am willing to make amends and testify against the person behind this!"

Lin Wanqing was silent for a moment, as if wondering whether Ah Fu's words were credible.

She knew very well that this matter was of great importance and any carelessness would alert the enemy.

But looking at Ah Fu's eyes full of pleading and regret, she felt a little reluctant.

"Okay, I can help you, but you must tell the truth and not lie!"

Lin Wanqing's voice was firm and powerful, giving Ah Fu hope.

He nodded repeatedly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am! I will tell you the truth!"

Lin Wanqing looked at Ah Fu, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Do you know that if you dare to tell even a single lie today, I will make you pay a price even more painful than this!"

Her voice was cold and authoritative, causing Ah Fu to shudder involuntarily.

But he quickly reacted and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Madam, don't worry, I would never dare to tell a lie!"

After hearing this, Lin Wanqing felt relieved.

She stood up and looked at the night outside the window, with a plan in mind.

"Okay, then tell me in detail. Who is the person behind this? What are their plans?"

Ah Fu did not dare to delay and quickly told the truth about everything he knew.

As he spoke, Lin Wanqing's brows furrowed more and more, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

She never imagined that those people were so bold as to do such a cruel thing to the prince!

But besides being angry, she also felt a little relieved.

I am glad that I found Ah Fu today and learned the news, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ah Fu, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

"Ah Fu, you have done a great deed today. I will remember you."

She said softly, a hint of gentleness in her tone.

Ah Fu was delighted when he heard this and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, madam! Thank you, madam!"

Lin Wanqing waved her hand, signaling him to stand up.

"Okay, get up first. I'll send someone to rescue your child. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Ah Fu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Thank you, Madam! You are my adopted parents!"

Lin Wanqing didn't say anything more, just glanced at him lightly, then turned and walked out of the room.

She knew that now was not the time to let her guard down. She had to tell the prince the news immediately so that he would be on guard.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, her heart filled with anxiety.

At the same time, far away in another city, Lu Shengyuan was sitting in his study, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Prince, I have spread the news as you instructed. I believe those people have already taken action."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Very good, I want to see if they can handle me this time!"

His voice was cold and majestic, full of unquestionable dominance.

Upon hearing this, the subordinates all nodded their heads in agreement, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Lu Shengyuan waved his hand, signaling them to leave, then stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside.

The battle has just begun, he must remain vigilant at all times and not relax at all.

But fortunately, he had already prepared for it, and this time he would make sure they never came back!

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

Lin Wanqing hurried in, her face full of anxiety.

"Husband, I have something important to discuss with you!"

Lu Shengyuan turned around and was slightly stunned when he saw that it was Lin Wanqing.

He waved his hand and asked all the servants to leave.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before telling Lu Shengyuan everything she had just heard from Ah Fu.

As she spoke, Lu Shengyuan's brows furrowed more and more, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

He never imagined that those people were so brazen and dared to attack him openly!

But besides being angry, he also felt a little relieved.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the study, as if thinking about a strategy.

Lin Wanqing did not disturb him, but just stood quietly by the side, waiting for his instructions.

After a long while, Lu Shengyuan finally stopped and turned to look at Lin Wanqing.

"Wanqing, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

There was a hint of tenderness and gratitude in his voice, which made Lin Wanqing slightly stunned.

She quickly reacted and said softly, "My husband, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan smiled and said nothing more.

But he had already made up his mind that this time he must catch all those behind the scenes!

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Lin Wanqing, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Wanqing, I have something to discuss with you."

Lin Wanqing's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly said, "Husband, please speak."

Lu Shengyuan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "I want you to help me lure the snake out of its hole."

Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned, but quickly understood what Lu Shengyuan meant.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then said softly, "Don't worry, my husband. I will definitely take care of this matter."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Okay, then go down and prepare. Be careful."

Lin Wanqing nodded, turned and walked out of the study.
