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

Pei'er hurried into the house, looking anxious, and called softly, "Madam, what should we do next?"

Lin Wanqing turned around with a deep look in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up with a resolute arc, and he ordered Pei'er: "Pei'er, you need to go to the market immediately and spread a message that the prince was accidentally seriously injured and his condition is critical. I am afraid he will not live long."

When Pei'er heard this, her face changed suddenly and she cried out in surprise.

"Madam! Why...why is this happening? The prince..."

Lin Wanqing raised his hand and gently pressed Pei'er's shoulder, signaling her to be patient, his tone firm and gentle.

"Pei'er, don't panic. We are doing this to lure the snake out of its hole. Since those people have already set their sights on the Prince, they will definitely not miss this 'good opportunity'. Only by making them mistakenly believe that the Prince is unable to fight back can they reveal more flaws and allow us to catch them all in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, although Pei'er still had doubts in her heart, she also understood Lin Wanqing's foresight.

She nodded heavily and said, "Madam, rest assured. I will do my best to handle this matter. However... I am worried that this matter will damage the reputation of the prince."

Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, with wisdom glittering in his eyes.

"Reputation is nothing but a fleeting thought. Just go ahead and do it. Remember to be cautious and don't let anyone know this is our plan."

After receiving the order, Pei'er hurried to the pharmacy in the town with mixed feelings.

The sun was setting in the west, and the light inside the drugstore was dim. The aroma of medicine and the aged smell of the wooden counter intertwined together, making the store seem particularly peaceful.

However, this tranquility was soon broken by the arrival of Pearl.

"Boss, do you have any good medicine for wounds or for replenishing Qi and blood?"

Pearl asked anxiously, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone.

The shopkeeper looked up, his eyes lingered on Pearl's anxious face for a moment, then he shook his head.

"Miss, you came at an unfortunate time. There have been so many refugees lately that medicinal herbs are already in short supply. The shop is now empty."

When Pei'er heard this, her eyes turned red, as if the last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered.

She tried to hold back her tears and was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly stopped.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, eventually turning into a sorrowful sob as tears welled up in her eyes.

"What should I do..."

Pearl's voice was choked with sobs, and there was a hint of despair in her crying voice.

"My prince accidentally fell off a cliff while trying to save those displaced refugees a few days ago. His life or death remains unknown. We finally found him, but the doctor said his injuries were extremely serious and he needed these rare medicinal herbs to survive... Now that he's in such a bad state, I'm afraid..."

At this point, Pei'er was already sobbing, as if all her strength had collapsed at this moment.

She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her fingers.

The grief was so overwhelming that everyone present couldn't help but feel compassion.

The shopkeeper sighed softly, his eyes revealing a bit of sympathy and helplessness.

"Alas, these days, good people don't live long... Your prince is so kind, yet he has suffered such a misfortune... It's just that my little shop is really powerless to help."

Upon hearing this, Pei'er cried even harder, as if the whole world had lost its color.

This scene became a topic of conversation among the townspeople after dinner.

Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In just half a day, everyone in the town knew that Prince Lu Shengyuan had been seriously injured while saving refugees.

People were talking about it, some were impressed by the prince's bravery and selflessness, while others were worried about his safety.

However, amidst all the discussions, some people with ulterior motives began to stir secretly.

Lin Wanqing stood in front of the window, gazing into the distance towards the town, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.

"The fish has taken the bait. Now... it's time to reel in the net."

She murmured softly, as if everything was under control.

The night is low and the moon is like silver.

The battle against those behind the scenes has just begun.

In a remote courtyard in the town, a man in black knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together.

"Master, I have received news that Lu Shengyuan is seriously injured and his life is hanging by a thread."

"Oh? Is this serious?"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, a cold voice sounded in the silent night, with a hint of suspicion and sharpness.

The man in black felt nervous when he heard this and quickly responded.

"It's absolutely true! This news came from the maids in Lu Shengyuan's mansion, and now the whole town is buzzing with it."

"Good! God is helping me!"

The owner of the cold voice was overjoyed when he heard this, and slammed the stone table beside him.

"Lu Shengyuan, ah Lu Shengyuan, no matter how powerful you are, you could never have imagined this day would come!"

The man in black looked up at his master's sinister face and asked cautiously.

"Master, what should we do next?"

When the master heard this, a sinister light flashed in his eyes.

"Send someone to Lu Shengyuan's residence immediately and keep a close eye on him! Report to me immediately if there's any movement!"

"Yes!"

The man in black took the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Lin Wanqing sat quietly in the room, listening to the maids' discussions and sneering in her heart.

She wanted to see who would dare to take advantage of the situation this time!

Time passed by little by little, and the night grew darker.

Lin Wanqing estimated that it was almost time, so she got up and went to Lu Shengyuan's dormitory.

In the bedroom, Lu Shengyuan was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. When he saw Lin Wanqing come in, he couldn't help but put down the book in his hand and raised his brows slightly.

"How is it? Has the news spread?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Everything is under control, we just have to wait for the fish to bite."

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes.

He had long known that his wife was extraordinary, and now it seemed that it was indeed the case.

"So what are your plans next?"

Lu Shengyuan asked curiously, full of anticipation for Lin Wanqing's plan.

Lin Wanqing smiled mysteriously and did not directly answer Lu Shengyuan's question, but kept it a secret.

"Husband, just rest and recover. I'll take care of everything."

After saying that, she turned and walked to the window, gazing into the dark night.

A battle against the person behind the scenes is about to begin.

The night is as dark as ink, and the moon is dancing.

Lin Wanqing stood quietly in front of the window, having already made plans in his mind.

She knew that those with ill intentions would not miss this opportunity, and what she had to do was to sit back and wait, and catch them all in one fell swoop!

Time passed by little by little, and a hint of unusual atmosphere was faintly revealed in the night.

Lin Wanqing sneered in her heart, she knew that the fish had taken the bait.

Sure enough, not long after, men in black sneaked into Lu Shengyuan's mansion.

They hid all the way and approached Lu Shengyuan's dormitory cautiously.

However, their every move had already fallen into Lin Wanqing's eyes.
