Lin Wanqing looked at her, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

Su Yingying wanted to take the opportunity to get drunk and then implement her plan.

However, Lin Wanqing would not be so easily succeeded by her.

"No need." She smiled and shook her head. "I still have some things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer."

Having said that, she stood up and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Su Yingying became anxious and quickly blocked her way. "Sister, don't be in a hurry to leave. Sit for a while."

Lin Wanqing looked at her, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

She struggled to break free from Su Yingying's entanglement and said coldly: "Miss Su, please respect yourself. I am not someone that easy to deal with."

Having said that, she turned and left, leaving Su Yingying standing there in a daze.

Su Yingying looked at her departing back, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

I failed again this time.

She originally thought that she could defeat Lin Wanqing with her beauty and wisdom, but unexpectedly she was humiliated by her.

She was dissatisfied, but helpless.

When Lin Wanqing returned to the room, Pei'er immediately came up to her and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Lin Wanqing shook her head. "Su Yingying is such a persistent woman. She even wants to attack me."

When Pei'er heard this, her expression was stern. "Then what is Madam going to do?"

"Let's wait and see what happens." Lin Wanqing said after a moment of contemplation, "Su Yingying is not an ordinary woman. We must be careful in dealing with her."

Pearl nodded, "Yes, ma'am."

Although Su Yingying failed this time, she will never give up and will definitely cause trouble again in the future.

And he and his wife must also be more careful.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing and Pei'er were always careful to guard against Su Yingying, fearing that she would play tricks again.

However, Su Yingying seemed to have completely disappeared and did not appear again.

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but feel strange, wondering what Su Yingying was up to.

It wasn't until one day when she accidentally overheard a conversation between two maids that she learned the truth.

"Have you heard? Miss Su seems to be getting very close to the prince recently."

"Really? What's going on?"

"I don't know either. I just heard from others that Miss Su often went to chat with the prince, and the relationship between them seemed to be very unusual."

Lin Wanqing's heart sank when he heard this.

She finally understood why Su Yingying suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that she had shifted her target and started to seduce Lu Shengyuan.

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but feel angry.

Su Yingying wanted to snatch Lu Shengyuan away and then use this opportunity to suppress herself.

But Lin Wanqing would not let her succeed.

She decided to go find Lu Shengyuan in person and find out what was going on.

Lin Wanqing came to Lu Shengyuan's study and saw Su Yingying walking out.

When she saw Lin Wanqing, a smug smile appeared on her face.

"Why are you here, sister?" she asked deliberately.

Lin Wanqing looked at her and said coldly, "I'm here to discuss something with the Duke. Please, Miss Su, move aside."

Su Yingying looked displeased when she heard this.

She had intended to deliberately provoke Lin Wanqing, but she had not expected to be ignored by her.

She secretly resents him, but she can do nothing but make way for Lin Wanqing to enter.

After Lin Wanqing walked into the study, she saw Lu Shengyuan sitting at the desk reading a book.

She walked forward and asked in a cold voice, "Prince, I have something to ask you."

Lu Shengyuan saw her coming and showed surprise on his face, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Has the prince been with Su Yingying often recently?" Lin Wanqing asked directly.

Lu Shengyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded, "So what?"

"Why would the prince do this?" Lin Wanqing questioned, "Don't you know who Su Yingying is?"

"Who is she?" Lu Shengyuan looked at her with an unhappy look on his face. "Wanqing, don't go too far. Yingying is a kind girl. Don't be prejudiced against her."

"I went too far?" Lin Wanqing was furious when she heard this. "Lu Shengyuan, do you understand the situation? Su Yingying is not a good person. She approached you for a purpose!"

"Wanqing!" Lu Shengyuan looked at her and raised his voice a few degrees. "I know you don't like Yingying, but she is really a good girl. I hope you don't have any prejudice against her anymore."

Lin Wanqing looked at him, feeling disappointed.

Lu Shengyuan had been bewitched by Su Yingying, and no matter what he said, he would not believe it.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said slowly, "Okay, since the prince trusts her so much, I won't say much. However, I hope the prince will think twice before acting and not be fooled by her appearance."

Having said that, she turned and left, leaving Lu Shengyuan alone in the study.

Lu Shengyuan looked at her departing back with a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing Lin Wanqing walk out of the study with a sullen face, Pei'er hurried over and asked anxiously, "Miss, what should we do?"

Lin Wanqing sighed softly, his brows full of worry.

"The prince shouldn't be like this."

Her words showed both disappointment in Lu Shengyuan and a hint of confusion.

“But why would he suddenly protect Su Yingying so much?”

Pearl grumbled in dissatisfaction, her tone full of indignation.

"Su Yingying is obviously not a good person, how could the prince not see that?"

“People’s hearts are hidden, who can truly see through them?”

Lin Wanqing shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her words, "Perhaps, there is some reason we don't know."

When Pei'er heard this, she became so angry that she jumped to her feet.

"What else could it be? It must be that vixen Su Yingying who used some shameful tricks to confuse the prince's mind! Miss, you can't just sit back and watch!"

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. I will find out Su Yingying's background sooner or later. As for the prince..."

Her words stopped abruptly, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes, as if she was weighing or struggling.

Seeing this, Pei'er knew that she should not say much, so she could only follow Lin Wanqing silently and pray secretly in her heart.

Lin Wanqing secretly decided that she must not let Su Yingying's trick succeed.

She chose an evening when Su Yingying wanted to sneak out again, dressed in light clothes, and hid in the darkness of the backyard of the palace.

Su Yingying was seen wearing gorgeous clothes, with her hair covered with pearls and jade, looking even more charming than usual. With an imperceptible sneer on her lips, she quietly stepped out of the palace gate.

Lin Wanqing followed closely behind, keeping a distance from him so as not to alert the enemy.

Su Yingying walked through the streets and alleys with ease and finally stopped in front of a hidden house.

Lin Wanqing hid in the dark, his doubts growing stronger: this house may look ordinary, but it is heavily guarded and is definitely not an ordinary place.

Su Yingying whispered a few words to the gatekeeper and entered smoothly.
