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

Lin Qin put down her teacup, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"Want to play big? I'll play along!" She had long anticipated that Manager Sun wouldn't let this go. That old fox was full of wicked schemes and was definitely planning something big this time.

Fortunately, she had a backup plan and had arranged for spies in various shops in advance.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Manager Sun's every move was under her control.

"Your Highness, the Capital Business Conference will be held in three days. Manager Sun, along with several other businesses, plans to jointly impeach you at the conference, accusing you of disrupting market order and engaging in malicious competition," a servant hurriedly reported.

"Oh? Impeach me? What gives him the nerve?" Lin Qin raised an eyebrow. "Go, bring me my brocade pouch."

The atmosphere inside the business club was somber.

Lin Qin sat in the main seat, holding the business plan of Manager Sun and others in her hand, her eyes sharp as knives.

"You think you can bring me down with such petty tricks? You underestimate me." She surveyed the crowd, her tone resolute. "This time, I'll make them admit defeat wholeheartedly!" The crowd was filled with fighting spirit, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Meanwhile, a different atmosphere permeated the Prince's mansion—oppression and panic.

Prince Zhao's ghost is relentless, spreading rumors that Lin Qin is a jinx who has bewitched Zhu Ling and will bring disaster to the Prince's mansion.

The servants in the Prince's mansion were in an uproar, filled with unease.

Butler Wang stood to the side, his brows furrowed, deep in thought.

"Your Highness, you must reconsider! The Princess Consort..." Zhou, the maid, said insincerely, but a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

Zhu Ling's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"Enough! My affairs are none of your business!" He looked at Lin Qin.

Lin Qin simply smiled faintly, "Your Highness need not worry. The innocent will clear themselves, and rumors will stop with the wise. I will let them know who the real clowns are."

In the stillness of the night, Lin Qin stood by the window, gazing at the distant night sky with a deep look in her eyes.

The capital city, this bustling metropolis, hides countless power struggles and deceitful schemes.

But Lin Qin is never afraid of challenges!

She turned around and picked up the brocade pouch she had prepared beforehand...

"It's time to teach them a lesson."

The Beijing Business Conference was held in a magnificent hall, which was packed with people, but the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Lin Qin, dressed in an elegant long dress, walked calmly onto the platform. Facing hundreds of questioning eyes below, she remained composed, as if strolling leisurely.

"Disrupting the market? Malicious competition? Manager Sun, you've really thrown a lot of accusations at me!" Lin Qin's clear voice echoed in the hall, tinged with sarcasm.

Manager Sun sneered and said sarcastically, "Your Highness, you've just arrived and you've already made such a fuss. Do you think we old fogies from the capital are all pushovers?"

The crowd below the stage whispered among themselves, making the atmosphere even more tense.

Lin Qin smiled slightly, calmly took out a stack of papers from her brocade pouch, and gently placed them on the table.

"Gentlemen, this is my improved business plan. Please take a look."

The group looked at each other, half believing and half doubting as they accepted the plan.

The merchants who were initially waiting to see the joke turn out to be increasingly alarmed. Their initial doubts gradually disappeared, replaced by a wave of amazement.

Lin Qin's business plan not only perfectly solved their existing business predicament, but also put forward many unprecedented innovative ideas.

"Your Highness is truly talented!" An old merchant stood up excitedly and bowed to Lin Qin in respect.

Once the first one was chosen, a second one followed. Soon, the entire hall was filled with exclamations of praise, and the initial skepticism vanished, replaced by admiration and respect for Lin Qin.

Manager Sun's face turned ashen. He, who had been so confident of victory, now stood there awkwardly, looking like a clown.

Lin Qin looked at the crowd below the stage, a confident smile playing on her lips.

She knew she had won this business conference!

Just as Lin Qin was about to announce the end of the meeting, a servant from the Prince's mansion rushed in and whispered a few words in Lin Qin's ear.

Lin Qin's expression changed, and she said to everyone, "Everyone, that's all for today. We'll talk again another day." After saying that, she turned around and quickly left the hall.

The servant followed closely behind, his voice urgent: "Your Highness, the Prince..."

Rumors spread throughout the Prince's mansion, causing widespread panic.

Prince Zhao stood in the center of the crowd, looking smug, as if victory was assured.

"Your Highness, you should leave the palace as soon as possible to avoid implicating the Prince."

Zhu Ling strode over to Lin Qin, grabbed her hand, interlocked their fingers, and looked at her with unwavering eyes.

"I believe in the Princess Consort; rumors stop with the wise." He turned to Prince Zhao, his tone icy, "Prince Zhao, if you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Qin felt a warmth in her heart, and she gripped Zhu Ling's hand tightly in return, a slight smile playing on her lips. A pink bubble seemed to fill the air between them.

Back at the business conference, Manager Sun saw Lin Qin return and sneered, "Did Your Highness go to fetch reinforcements? Too bad, you're destined to lose today!"

"The outcome is still uncertain!" Lin Qin's eyes were sharp, and her aura was in no way inferior.

Manager Sun used his trump card, producing fabricated evidence to accuse Lin Qin of tax evasion and disrupting market order.

The scene erupted in uproar, with people discussing the matter, and even the merchants who had initially supported Lin Qin began to waver.

"I never imagined that Her Highness the Princess Consort was this kind of person. It's true what they say, you can know a person's face but not their heart!"

"Sigh, what a pity. I thought she was a business genius, but it turns out she's a fraud!"

Lin Qin looked at the evidence in Manager Sun's hand and sneered, "Manager Sun, your forgery is too crude, isn't it? Do you really think everyone is a fool?" She took out a document from her sleeve and slowly unfolded it, "This is all my account details, as well as cooperation agreements with various shops. You are welcome to inspect it."

The group took the documents and examined them carefully, finding that Lin Qin's accounts were clear and in order, with no problems whatsoever.

Manager Sun's evidence was full of loopholes and was obviously forged.

"Manager Sun, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Qin stared directly at him with piercing eyes.

Manager Sun's face was deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He knew he had lost completely.

Just then, a guard rushed in and whispered a few words in Lin Qin's ear.

Lin Qin's expression changed slightly, and she said to everyone, "Let's put today's matter aside for now and discuss it another day." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind only the meaningful words, "Manager Sun, the real show is yet to come!"

Lin Qin returned to the Prince's residence and walked straight toward Prince Zhao, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"Prince Zhao, the real show is just beginning." She pulled a letter from her sleeve, which was evidence of Prince Zhao's collusion with Manager Sun to frame her.

"You didn't expect that, did you? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Prince Zhao's face turned ashen, and he was speechless.

The people in the Prince's mansion were in an uproar, and they all condemned Prince Zhao's despicable behavior.

Zhu Ling looked at Lin Qin,

"Prince Zhao, do you have anything else to say?" Lin Qin pressed closer, her aura intimidating.

Prince Zhao collapsed to the ground, knowing he had been utterly defeated.

He left the palace in disgrace and never regained his dignity in the aristocratic circles of the capital.

With the crisis at the Prince's Mansion resolved, everyone looked at Lin Qin with new respect, and their initial doubts and suspicions turned into admiration and trust.

Steward Wang walked up to Lin Qin and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, I have offended you in the past. I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Qin smiled slightly: "Steward Wang, you flatter me. From now on, we should all work together to protect the Prince's Mansion."

The Prince's mansion was filled with an atmosphere of harmony and respect. The servants no longer gossiped, but instead performed their duties in an orderly manner.

Lin Qin looked at all of this and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

At the business conference, everyone praised Lin Qin's business plan and expressed their willingness to cooperate with her.

Manager Sun's conspiracy completely failed, his reputation in the capital's business circles was ruined, and no one dared to cooperate with him anymore.

"Your Highness, your business plan is absolutely brilliant! We're all willing to work with you!"

"Your Highness, you are the business queen of our capital!"

The crowd cheered and surrounded Lin Qin, expressing their admiration and respect for her.

Lin Qin looked at all this, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She rose from a demoted concubine to where she is today through her own wisdom and hard work.

She turned to look at Zhu Ling, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

In the stillness of the night, Lin Qin and Zhu Ling sat in the garden, gazing up at the starry sky.

"Qin'er, you're amazing!" Zhu Ling held Lin Qin's hand tightly.

Lin Qin smiled slightly and leaned on Zhu Ling's shoulder: "All of this is thanks to you. Without you, I..."

Suddenly, a dark figure flashed by, and Lin Qin's heart skipped a beat: "Who is it?"
