After returning to the capital to farm, the abandoned concubine made a comeback.

Lin Qin frowned, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table, making a "tap-tap" sound.

The requirements of Yunshan Academy are even more outrageous than her previous life when she tried to get into a 985 university.

What does "severing ties with the secular world" mean? It sounds nice, but it's really just about making her son a little ascetic.

Is this hospital director getting senile?

A tense atmosphere hung in the air, and Zhu Ling exuded an even stronger chill, like a moving ice sculpture.

The little one blinked his big, bewildered eyes, his face blank, seemingly not understanding what the adults were saying at all.

"No, something's wrong with this." Lin Qin muttered to herself. This isn't enrollment; it's clearly a trap.

She turned to look at Zhu Ling, her tone firm, "This old man must be out of his mind; he wants my son to become a monk."

Zhu Ling nodded slightly, his eyes growing even colder.

He naturally saw through the trickery, but he didn't expect the old man to dare to cause trouble so blatantly. It seems that Yunshan Academy probably needs to be properly reorganized.

Just then, a sharp voice came from outside the door, breaking the heavy atmosphere.

"Oh my, isn't this the Prince and Princess? What's wrong, are you worried about the young master's school enrollment?"

The newcomer was none other than the well-informed matchmaker, Sun. She was waving a worn-out palm-leaf fan in her hand, her face plastered with a fake smile, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude.

She cleared her throat, deliberately raised her voice, and said in a sarcastic tone, "I've heard that the admission requirements for Yunshan Academy are incredibly high! Things like severing all worldly ties, and possessing extraordinary talent... tsk tsk, this young master is probably..."

The matchmaker didn't finish her sentence, but shook her head meaningfully, her eyes sweeping over the adorable baby as if to say, "This child is probably not qualified."

These words, once uttered, were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

The already tense atmosphere became even more oppressive.

"That matchmaker Sun, she really has a big mouth." Lin Qin thought to herself. This woman was simply a walking rumor-mongering machine. She hadn't even started to make her move yet, and someone was already stirring things up behind the scenes. She wanted to see who was behind this.

"Mother..." The little one tugged at Lin Qin's sleeve cautiously and asked softly, "I... I can't go to Yunshan Academy anymore?"

Lin Qin's heart softened. She patted the baby's head and said gently, "Of course not. My baby is so wonderful, he can go anywhere."

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and coldly glanced at the matchmaker outside the door, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"The real show is just beginning," Lin Qin said in a low voice, a sly glint in her eyes.

Lin Qin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a "everything is under control" smile.

She calmly opened the system interface, and the cute little system immediately popped up, waving its tiny wings and reporting in a childish voice: "Host, abnormal energy fluctuations detected, analyzing... Analysis complete! Liu Shanhe, the dean of Yunshan Academy, is involved in bribery with Matchmaker Sun, spreading rumors, and maliciously raising the admission threshold, with the aim of suppressing the Prince's Mansion!"

"I knew it!" Lin Qin sneered inwardly. This old fox's tail had finally been revealed.

Her slender fingers slid rapidly across the system screen, bringing up more information. Sure enough, Liu Shanhe was from a collateral branch of the Zhu Ling family and had always harbored resentment towards Zhu Ling. This enrollment incident was clearly an attempt to give the Prince's Mansion a hard time.

"Hmph, trying to cause trouble? This old lady is ready to play along!" The tense atmosphere around Lin Qin gradually dissipated with her confident smile, and an aura of "bring it on, I'll deal with it" spread through the air.

Zhu Ling's deep gaze fell on Lin Qin, his eyes almost overflowing with love.

He was already impressed by Lin Qin's resilience and wisdom, and now seeing her handle the crisis so calmly and composedly, he felt even more admiration for her.

This woman is a real gem!

Feeling Zhu Ling's intense gaze, Lin Qin's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

A hint of ambiguity filled the air, making even the birdsong outside the window seem softer.

Lin Qin cleared her throat, breaking the delicate silence.

"Your Highness, it seems we need to go and meet this Dean Liu." Her tone was firm, with a hint of provocation, as if declaring that she was the one in control of this game.

"Fine." Zhu Ling replied succinctly. Anyone who dared to touch his woman and child was asking for trouble!

Lin Qin stood up, took the baby's little hand, and called out to the door, "Prepare the carriage, let's go to Yunshan Academy!" Yunshan Academy is located in the suburbs, covering a vast area with towering ancient trees, which makes it appear somewhat solemn and dignified.

However, the dean's behavior is something that cannot be agreed with.

Dean Liu, a short, stout old man with a goatee, sat upright in a grand chair, holding a pair of jade balls in his hands, which made an unpleasant "creaking" sound.

He squinted, his cloudy eyes scanning Lin Qin up and down, his tone tinged with disdain, "Your Highness, your son's talent is mediocre. If he wants to enter my Yunshan Academy, he'll have to work much harder!"

Lin Qin raised an eyebrow. Goodness, this old man is quite the actor.

She looked around. The academy's buildings were quite impressive, but the dean's words were really not flattering.

"Dean Liu, you're going a bit too far with your words. My son is exceptionally intelligent, how could he be considered mediocre?" Lin Qin's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of mockery on her lips. "Or is it that the admission requirements for Yunshan Academy are based on personal connections?"

Dean Liu's face darkened, and the jade ball in his hand stopped spinning, making a crisp "snap" sound.

He snorted coldly, "Your Highness, you are wronging me. Yunshan Academy has always upheld the principles of fairness and justice. How could we abuse our power for personal gain?"

"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Qin smiled knowingly, her gaze sweeping over the silent Master Chen beside her, her tone tinged with amusement. "Then may I ask Dean Liu, why does your academy impose such stringent admission requirements? Is it to shut out all students?"

Dean Liu was speechless, his face turning a deep purplish-red. After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "This...this is to temper the students' character!"

Lin Qin scoffed, cursing inwardly that the old man was really lying through his teeth.

She felt an invisible pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

A tense atmosphere filled the air. The little boy sensed the tension between the adults and clung tightly to Lin Qin's clothes, his small body trembling slightly.

Lin Qin took a deep breath. She wanted to show these stubborn old men that she, Lin Qin, was not someone to be trifled with!

She held her baby's little hand tightly and said gently, "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy's here!" She looked at Dean Liu with a firm gaze and said in a strong voice, "Dean Liu, since you insist, then today I will take my son to walk around Yunshan Academy and see just how profound and unfathomable its rules really are!"

After saying that, Lin Qin took the baby's hand and walked out of the dean's office without looking back, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

A gentle breeze ruffled her hair as she looked up at the majestic university before her, a confident smile playing on her lips.

"Mommy, where are we going?" The baby's innocent voice rang in my ears.

"Let's go see what secrets this academy holds." Lin Qin looked down into Mengbao's clear eyes, her voice carrying a hint of mystery.

She felt a faint electric current surge through her body; it was the system alerting her to unusual energy fluctuations nearby. A slight smile played on her lips. "Let's go, my little detective, our adventure has only just begun!"

Lin Qin strolled with her adorable child through Yunshan Academy, wandering through courtyards with towering ancient trees, listening to the wind whistling past their ears and the rustling of the grass.

Her gaze lingered on every corner of the academy, searching for any clues.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence from not far away.

She turned her head sharply and saw several servants hurrying past, their faces showing unease.

"Mommy, what's happening over there?" the little one asked curiously, tugging at Lin Qin's clothes.

"Let's go take a look." Lin Qin, holding Mengbao's hand, quickly walked towards the direction where the servants had disappeared.

Before long, they arrived at a secluded school. Outside the school, several pageboys were hurrying in and out, carrying various documents and letters.

Lin Qin's heart stirred. She pulled Mengbao behind a tree not far away and observed carefully.

A short while later, a servant came out of the school with a letter in his hand and hurried toward Dean Liu's office.

Lin Qin's eyes lit up; she knew this was an opportunity.

"Sweetie, let's follow him quietly," Lin Qin whispered, a sly smile on her face.

The two carefully followed the servant and eventually arrived outside Dean Liu's office.

Lin Qin held her breath and tiptoed closer to the window, peering through the crack inside.

Dean Liu was sitting at his desk, and the letter in his hand clearly read "Secret Letter from the Zhu Family".

Dean Liu's face was grim, and he said coldly to Master Chen beside him, "The Zhu family demands that we raise the admission standards no matter what, and not allow Zhu Ling's son to enroll. Otherwise, our family interests will be seriously threatened."

Lin Qin felt a surge of anger. She gripped the baby's little hand tightly, unable to suppress her resentment.

She quickly opened the system interface, and the mini-system immediately reported: "A contract has been detected. The content involves the protection of the Zhu family's interests. Dean Liu is colluding with a branch of the Zhu family in an attempt to suppress the Prince's Mansion."

"The evidence has been found!" Lin Qin was secretly delighted. She quickly exited the system interface, already having a plan in mind.

She took the baby's hand and quickly returned to the main hall of the academy.

"Dean Liu, we have something to show you!" Lin Qin shouted, her voice echoing throughout the academy.

Dean Liu's face turned deathly pale instantly. He tried to remain calm as he walked over, his voice tinged with panic: "Your Highness, what is it?"

Lin Qin calmly produced the evidence provided by the system, her tone firm and resolute: "Dean Liu, your so-called excuse of 'tempering students' character' is nothing but a means to satisfy the selfish desires of certain people. The Zhu family's collateral branch is demanding that you raise the admission threshold so that Zhu Ling's son cannot be admitted. This is the evidence!"

Dean Liu's expression shifted repeatedly before he finally lowered his head and admitted his crime.

A murmur of surprise rippled through the surrounding crowd, who all cast admiring glances at Lin Qin.

“In that case, Dean Liu, you must retract your previous request and allow Mengbao to enroll.” Lin Qin’s tone was firm, her eyes gleaming with victory.

Dean Liu nodded helplessly, rewrote the admission notice, and handed it to Lin Qin.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, and the little boy's face lit up with a bright smile.

Holding the adorable baby, Lin Qin felt the admiring and approving gazes around her, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, at that moment, she suddenly felt a chill creep down her spine, as if something ominous was about to happen.

"Mommy, I feel like something's not right," the little one whispered, a hint of unease in his eyes.

Lin Qin felt a chill run down her spine. She hugged the baby tightly and scanned her surroundings, suddenly noticing a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips as she said in a low voice, "It seems some people are still not satisfied."
