Chapter 118 This is wrong
"Cousin, I'll do whatever you say. As long as I can make him pay, I'm willing to do anything!"
Lin Wanqing gently patted the back of Lin Wan'er's hand, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
She knew very well that although Lin Wan'er was impulsive, once she set her goal, she would go all out.
"Okay, let's do this. You go back first and do as I say."
Lin Wan'er nodded repeatedly.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Lin Wan'er stepped down from the carriage under Lin Wanqing's gaze.
Her back seemed unusually determined, as if she was no longer the girl who acted impulsively.
Lin Wanqing looked at Lin Wan'er's departing back, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Wanqing walked into the gate of the Prince's Mansion with steady steps in the night.
In the night, her figure appeared particularly tall and straight, with an unmistakable light flashing in her eyes.
Lu Ming had been waiting for a long time. His face was stern and his eyes revealed a bit of scrutiny and questioning.
Seeing Lin Wanqing return, he took a step forward and spoke in a low and powerful voice.
"Lin Wanqing, why are you shielding Lin Wan'er? Could it be that you were involved in this?"
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, which contained both sarcasm and disdain.
She stopped and looked directly at Lu Ming, her tone filled with unquestionable majesty.
"Lu Ming, please be respectful. Although I'm not your biological mother, I'm still your elder according to seniority. Have you ever thought about the consequences of questioning me like this?"
Lu Ming was stunned, obviously not expecting Lin Wanqing to refute him so directly.
He frowned, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he then suppressed it, and his tone became more tentative.
"I'm just worried that if you're really involved in this matter, it will implicate many people."
Lin Wanqing chuckled, and that laughter was full of confidence and composure.
"Lu Ming, you don't need to worry. I, Lin Wanqing, act openly and honestly. I never bother to do anything behind people's backs. You'd better take care of yourself and don't bring trouble upon yourself."
After saying that, Lin Wanqing ignored Lu Ming, turned around and walked into the mansion, leaving Lu Ming standing there in astonishment.
He looked at Lin Wanqing's departing back, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He had never seen Lin Wanqing so strong and confident. It seemed as if overnight, she became unpredictable to him.
The night wind blew by, bringing a bit of coolness.
Lu Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.
Lin Wanqing pushed open the door and was greeted by a wave of warmth, which formed a sharp contrast with the cold wind outside.
The flickering candlelight in the room illuminated Lu Shengyuan's deep silhouette.
He was sitting at the table, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the night, staring straight at her.
Lin Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and he wondered what this old fox was up to again.
Her expression remained calm as she smiled and said, "My dear husband, you are still waiting for me at this late hour? I am truly flattered."
Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan curled up a playful smile, put down the jade pendant in his hand, slowly stood up, and approached Lin Wanqing step by step.
The scent of ambergris mixed with pine wood on his body made Lin Wanqing take a step back involuntarily.
"Wanqing, you seem particularly happy today?"
Lu Shengyuan's voice was low and magnetic, yet it carried a subtle hint of jealousy.
Lin Wanqing's heart trembled.
She feigned confusion, blinking her large eyes as she said innocently, "Why do you say that, my husband? I was just dealing with some trivial matters, how can I be happy?"
Lu Shengyuan chuckled, and that smile contained both doting and a bit of helplessness.
He reached out and gently lifted Lin Wanqing's chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Do you really think I can't see anything? When you returned today, the glint in your eyes was completely different from before."
Lin Wanqing secretly complained in his heart, this old fox is indeed sharp.
But her face still maintained that gentle and innocent look as she gently broke free from Lu Shengyuan's restraints.
"My husband, you misunderstood. I just felt that today's matter was resolved quite smoothly, and I couldn't help but feel a little relieved."
Lu Shengyuan stared at Lin Wanqing, his eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
Lin Wanqing's eyes moved and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She tiptoed gently, leaned close to Lu Shengyuan's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Husband, are you jealous of your own son? This is really ridiculous."
When Lu Shengyuan heard this, his face changed slightly. He didn't expect Lin Wanqing to expose his thoughts so bluntly.
He coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment, but a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.
"Wanqing, stop talking nonsense. I am a noble prince, how could I be jealous of a little boy?"
There was a hint of authority in his tone, but also a subtle hint of helplessness.
Lin Wanqing chuckled. She knew Lu Shengyuan's character very well and knew that he was just tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
So she deliberately leaned close to his chest and felt his strong heartbeat.
"Husband, since you're not jealous of Lu Ming, why don't we have a child of our own? That way, we'll have our own bloodline, wouldn't that be better?"
When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a look of shock and vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He quickly took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Lin Wanqing, and his tone became cold and hard.
"Lin Wanqing, don't let your wishful thinking lead you to despair."
Lin Wanqing's heart trembled. She didn't expect Lu Shengyuan to be so decisive.
But she quickly adjusted her mood and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which contained both sarcasm and provocation.
"My dear husband, you are wrong. Since we are married, we should stick together and raise children together."
Lu Shengyuan frowned. He had never seen Lin Wanqing so aggressive.
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Lu Shengyuan glanced at Lin Wanqing coldly, his voice filled with unquestionable determination.
"I've been poisoned, and I'm afraid I won't have children. You should find someone else."
When Lin Wanqing heard this, a cunning look flashed in his eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She deliberately took a step forward, almost touching Lu Shengyuan's body, and whispered softly, "Husband, you are wrong. Haven't you noticed that you have been in much better health recently? Even your complexion is very different."
Lu Shengyuan was slightly stunned and thought to himself.
In the past few days, he indeed felt much more relaxed than before, and even the old illness that had plagued him for a long time seemed to have eased.
He frowned slightly and looked at Lin Wanqing with deep eyes, as if trying to find the deeper meaning in her words.
"You mean..." Lu Shengyuan's voice was low and full of doubt.
Lin Wanqing nodded slightly.
"Although I don't know any medical skills, I have learned some basics over the years. The poison your husband was poisoned with may not be incurable. It just requires time and opportunity. And I am willing to be the one to find that opportunity for you."
An inexplicable emotion surged in Lu Shengyuan's heart. He never thought that Lin Wanqing would care so much about his health.
He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "Since you have this intention, then give it a try, but this matter must be kept secret and not known to outsiders."
