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

The streets and alleys of Beijing have recently been filled with a sense of "involution".

Since Lin Qin's business plan became a great success, many small businesses have begun to follow suit and imitate her business model.

This made Lin Qin frown slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Sure enough, no matter where I go, I can't escape the fate of being a "knock-off"!

However, this also proves her strength. If others are eager to imitate her, then that can be considered a different kind of affirmation, right?

That day, Lin Qin decided to meet with new suppliers and expand her business empire.

To my surprise, I was met with a cold shower the moment I stepped into the business club.

These suppliers, each with their noses in the air, looked at her, this emerging business, as if she were some country bumpkin.

"Hey, isn't this the shrewd Mr. Lin who's been making waves lately?" a chubby supplier said sarcastically, his eyes full of disdain. "I heard your business is doing quite well, but our goods aren't something just anyone can afford!"

Lin Qin smiled slightly, having long anticipated this turn of events.

She calmly replied, "Mr. Wang, you're being too polite. I've come here with good intentions. May I ask what your price is?"

Boss Wang sneered and held up two fingers: "This price, not a penny less! If you think it's too expensive, then forget it, there are plenty of people lining up to buy my goods!"

Lin Qin's heart sank upon hearing this.

This is clearly because they see she's new here and want to take advantage of her.

Her eyes narrowed, and her tone hardened: "Mr. Wang, isn't your price a bit outrageous? Do you think I, Lin Qin, am the kind of sucker who's easily taken advantage of?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang's face immediately darkened: "Oh, little brat, you've got quite the temper! Let me tell you, this isn't a place for you to run wild in Beijing! If you don't want to cooperate, get the hell out of here!"

Inside the business club, the atmosphere instantly became tense, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Lin Qin looked at the greasy fat man in front of her and sneered inwardly: Ha, how dare he put on airs in front of her?

What a courage!

Just then, Zhu Ling, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Boss Wang, have you forgotten that I haven't taken down the plaque of my Wang Mansion yet?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang's face turned deathly pale. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"This is none of your business to interfere with." Lin Qin coldly glanced at Boss Wang, then looked at the other suppliers. "If anyone wants to cooperate with me, they'd better show some sincerity!"

After saying that, she walked straight out of the club, leaving behind a group of suppliers looking at each other in bewilderment and Mr. Wang, whose face was ashen.

At this moment, Zhou, the maid who had been hiding in the corner, revealed a strange smile.

Lin Qin walked out of the business club, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.

Do those arrogant guys think they can intimidate her?

Lin Qin is like an unkillable cockroach; she gets stronger with each setback!

She immediately changed direction and headed straight for an agricultural product base on the outskirts of Beijing.

After careful investigation, Lin Qin was surprised to find that the quality of the agricultural products here was even better than that of the big suppliers, and the prices were much more affordable.

She acted decisively and reached a long-term cooperation agreement with the farmers.

When Lin Qin reappeared at the market in the capital with fresh agricultural products, everyone was stunned.

Those suppliers who were originally arrogant were instantly dumbfounded when they saw Lin Qin's goods.

Those merchants who had previously mocked Lin Qin were now staring wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"This...how is this possible?" Boss Wang looked at his unsold, slow-moving goods, his face turning green. "How could her goods be so good?"

At the market, Lin Qin's stall was crowded with people, all vying to buy things. The scene was incredibly lively, even more so than during the Chinese New Year.

Looking at the bustling scene before her, Lin Qin's mind raced with calculations. This deal was a sure thing!

People in Beijing have finally understood what the "law of true fragrance" means!

As evening fell, Lin Qin returned to the Prince's mansion and was stunned by the scene before her.

The entire Wangfu Garden was decorated like a dream, with flowers covering the entire garden, lanterns flickering with warm light, and a faint fragrance of flowers permeating the air.

Zhu Ling stood among the flowers, a gentle smile on his handsome face. He reached out his hand to Lin Qin.

Lin Qin's heart melted instantly. She smiled and ran towards Zhu Ling, hugging him tightly and feeling the warmth emanating from him.

The two looked at each other and smiled; the ambiguous atmosphere in the garden was almost overflowing.

"You're so romantic." Lin Qin gave Zhu Ling a reproachful look. "Don't spend so much money again."

Zhu Ling chuckled softly and said gently, "As long as you like it, it's all worth it."

The two nestled together among the flowers, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

"Your Highness, look at these flowers, how beautiful they are!" A voice abruptly broke the beautiful scene.

It was Zhou, a maid from the Prince's mansion. Her face was full of smiles, but her eyes held a hint of coldness that was hard to detect. She was secretly observing the interaction between Lin Qin and Zhu Ling.

Lin Qin's days in the Prince's mansion seemed peaceful on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were surging.

Several veteran servants harbored a sense of resentment towards Lin Qin, this suddenly appearing princess.

For example, Liu Ma, who was in charge of cleaning, always treated Lin Qin with disdain whenever she saw her, as if she wanted to ignore her completely.

Lin Qin was no pushover either; she decided to take the initiative and improve the awkward situation.

She first gave Liu Ma some pastries she had made herself, but Liu Ma simply threw them to the dog in the yard and said sarcastically, "We rough people aren't used to these fancy things." Lin Qin sneered inwardly: What haven't I seen, having traveled all over the country?

You think you can fool me with such a little trick?

She didn't give up and tried several more times, sending gifts and showing concern, but all her efforts were in vain.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the Prince's mansion, and Lin Qin felt as if she were isolated on a deserted island.

She could even sense that there was always a pair of eyes secretly watching her from the corner.

One day, Lin Qin overheard Liu Ma complaining to the other servants that rats had been rampant lately, and a lot of the family's grain had been stolen, making it difficult for them to sleep at night.

Lin Qin had a sudden inspiration and a plan came to her mind.

She's a farming pro, dealing with these little mice is a piece of cake for her.

She kept quiet and secretly used some herbs and ingredients to make some all-natural, pollution-free rat poison, which she then placed in places where rats frequently appeared.

The next morning, all the servants in the palace were stunned. The courtyard was littered with the corpses of rats; not a single one had escaped.

Aunt Liu was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She clung to Lin Qin's leg and wouldn't let go: "Your Highness, you are truly a living Bodhisattva! You are so amazing!"

This caused an uproar throughout the entire palace.

Princess Lin Qin is not only good at business, but she can also catch mice. She's so versatile!

Even the servants who had previously treated her coldly now looked at her with new respect and expressed their determination to "start anew".

The previously oppressive atmosphere in the Prince's mansion instantly became relaxed and pleasant.

Looking at the harmonious scene before her, Lin Qin smiled smugly.

She knew this was just the beginning; she was going to build her own business empire within the Prince's mansion!

Just then, the maid Zhou rushed over in a panic, her face pale, and stammered, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened... the shop... the shop over there..."

The markets in the capital have recently been packed with people and filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, and all of this is concentrated in front of Lin Qin's shop.

A long queue formed in front of the store, with people scrambling to buy Lin Qin's products. The scene was even more lively than Singles' Day!

Lin Qin stood at the store entrance, looking at the bustling crowd in front of her, her mouth almost stretched to the back of her ears in a wide grin.

Everything in her shop is carefully selected by her; the quality is top-notch, and the prices are affordable. Who wouldn't love that?

Seeing everyone happy with their purchases made her even happier!

This isn't the kind of happiness you can get by just "lying down"; it's called "the most beautiful youth is one spent striving!"

The air was filled with laughter and customers praising the products; the whole store was enveloped in an atmosphere of "it smells so good!"

Lin Qin's mind was racing with calculations; this business was definitely a sure thing!

She raised her eyebrows triumphantly, thinking to herself, "Sooner or later, I'll take over this capital city!"

Just as Lin Qin was immersed in the joy of making money, Butler Wang rushed over, his face full of anxiety.

He leaned close to Lin Qin's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, something bad has happened! I heard that the largest business family in the capital seems to have designs on our business..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin frowned slightly, and alarm bells rang in her mind.

This capital city is indeed not an easy place to live. I just made some money, and someone already had their eyes on me.

It seems she needs to be careful!

She remained outwardly calm and smiled as she said to Butler Wang, "I understand, Butler. You may leave now. I have my own plans."

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Prince's mansion became somewhat strange.

Those servants who had previously been obedient to Lin Qin seemed to have started whispering again, their eyes filled with uncertainty.

Lin Qin could sense something stirring in the shadows, but she had no idea what it was.

She looked around and noticed that Zhou, the maid, was standing not far away, her eyes darting around as if she were secretly observing her.

Lin Qin sneered inwardly. It seemed that things weren't so peaceful in the Prince's mansion after all!

However, Lin Qin was no pushover. She was prepared to face any challenge head-on.

As night fell, Lin Qin returned to her room, turned on the light, and sat at the table, tapping her fingers on the surface.

The servants' strange behavior, along with the news brought by Steward Wang, gave her a vague feeling that something was about to happen.

She took a deep breath, her gaze hardening, and murmured to herself, "It seems I need to investigate this thoroughly..." She stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the deep night sky. Suddenly, she heard faint footsteps outside the door. She immediately turned around alertly, her eyes sharp as knives...
