Chapter 106 I Did It All by Myself
The old lady did not answer her, but handed over the note and herbal residue in her hand.
Su Yingying took it and looked at it, and she froze in place as if struck by lightning.
The old lady stared at Su Yingying coldly with a sharp gaze, her voice filled with unquestionable majesty.
"Su Yingying, do you have anything else to say?"
Su Yingying's face was pale, her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, and her voice was trembling.
"Madam, I really don't know anything about this. It was all done by Kosode...she did it alone. It has nothing to do with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tied-up Kosode suddenly struggled violently.
She suddenly raised her head, a look of determination flashing in her eyes, and shouted loudly: "Miss, please stop talking! This is all my fault and has nothing to do with you! I am willing to take all the blame!"
As he spoke, Xiaoxiu suddenly exerted force, broke free from the guards' restraints, and slammed into the pillar beside him.
"boom!"
After a dull sound, Xiaoxiu fell softly to the ground, blood gushing from her forehead, staining the ground red.
Lin Wanqing stood aside and witnessed all this. Although there were waves in his heart, his face was calm.
Seeing this, the old lady's face became even gloomier. She waved her hand, signaling the guards to drag Xiaoxiu's body out.
Then she turned and looked at Su Yingying, her eyes full of disappointment and anger.
"Su Yingying, as a member of the mansion, you should set an example, but you allowed your servants to do such disrespectful things! Considering that this is your first offense and Xiaoxiu is dead, this matter will not be pursued. But you must remember, if it happens again, I will never let you off easily!"
When Su Yingying heard this, her body softened and she collapsed on the ground, tears rolling down her face like beads from a broken string.
This time, she really fell into trouble and also lost a loyal maid.
Lin Wanqing looked at Su Yingying's miserable appearance, but she didn't feel any sympathy in her heart.
Although the person behind the scenes has temporarily retreated, he will never give up.
And she will never sit still and wait for death!
Just as Lin Wanqing was thinking about his next response, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the solemnity in the room.
Su Qiaoer, the usually gentle and lovely woman, now looked flustered and stumbled in.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Su Yingying kneeling on the ground crying.
The cold body of Kosode beside her and the blood all over the ground, these scenes shocked her vision and made her face pale in an instant.
His body went limp and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Qiao'er!" A cry of surprise rang out.
Lu Ming had rushed to Su Qiaoer's side without her knowing when, and quickly took her into his arms.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes full of worry, fearing that something might happen to Su Qiaoer.
"Quick, call the doctor!"
While Lu Ming anxiously gave instructions to the maid beside him, he held Su Qiaoer carefully, fearing that his actions would hurt her in the slightest.
Su Qiaoer leaned weakly in Lu Ming's arms. She put her hands over her belly, where she and Lu Ming's child was growing.
She was filled with fear and anxiety, fearing that this incident would affect her children.
"Minglang, our child...will be okay?"
There was a tearful tone in Su Qiaoer's voice. She clutched Lu Ming's clothes tightly, as if she could find a little comfort in this way.
Hearing this, Lu Ming felt even more pain in his heart.
He gently stroked Su Qiaoer's hair and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, the child will be fine. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and your child."
Seeing this, the maids hurried to call the doctor.
The old lady and Lin Wanqing stood quietly by, watching this scene, each with their own thoughts in their minds.
Lin Wanqing couldn't help feeling sad when she saw how nervous and caring Lu Ming was towards Su Qiaoer.
Su Yingying, on the other hand, watched all this with a complicated expression, one that included resentment, unwillingness, and a hint of relief.
Soon, the doctor rushed over.
He took Su Qiao'er's pulse and checked her again. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam is fine. She just got a little frightened and needs to rest well."
Hearing this, Lu Ming and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the doctor with gratitude and told the maids to send Su Qiaoer back to her room to rest.
He himself stayed where he was, looking at Lin Wanqing and the old lady with deep eyes.
"Wanqing, thank you for your timely discovery of today's incident, but this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated to prevent further incidents."
The old lady said in a serious tone.
Lin Wanqing nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will do my best."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at Lu Ming, saying, "Prince, now that Miss Su is free, you should go and accompany her. After all, you are the one she needs most right now."
Hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes flashed with hesitation, but he finally nodded and said, "Wan Qing is right. I will go see her right away."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, leaving behind only a hurried back.
Lin Wanqing looked at the direction where Lu Ming left, feeling disappointed.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, turned and walked towards the old lady.
"Madam, I have something to discuss with you."
The old lady raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said, "Oh? Go ahead."
"Old Madam, I'd like to ask, did you anticipate what happened today?"
Lin Wanqing's voice was not loud, but it reached the old lady's ears clearly.
The old lady's eyes flickered slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded slowly.
"Wan Qing is indeed very intelligent. I did notice this matter, but I didn't expect it to become such a big deal."
Lin Wanqing was secretly surprised when she heard this, but she remained calm and continued, "The old lady is very thoughtful and far-sighted. I admire her."
The old lady nodded, a glint of appreciation in her eyes.
"Yes, you handled it well today, which is really rare."
Having said that, the old lady changed the subject.
"Wanqing, I know you must have some plans in mind. I will be relieved to leave the Prince's Mansion to you in the future."
Lin Wanqing accepted the order and bowed, "I will definitely live up to the old lady's trust."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to have thought of something, so she stopped and looked back at the old lady.
"Old Madam, there is one more thing I need to remind you of."
Seeing this, the old lady frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
"Old Madam, I dare to say frankly that the Crown Prince's favor towards Su Qiao'er seems a bit excessive."
Although Lin Wanqing's voice was soft, it was as shocking as a bolt of lightning, causing the smile on the old lady's face to freeze instantly.
She looked at Lin Wanqing sharply, as if examining her sincerity.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" The old lady spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible dignity in her tone.
Lin Wanqing bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Old Madam, as the future heir to the Prince's Mansion, every decision he makes affects the prosperity and decline of the Prince's Mansion."
"Although I was the one who was frightened by what happened today, the Crown Prince was so nervous that he didn't even consider the occasion. I'm afraid this will attract criticism from others in the mansion."
Having said that, Lin Wanqing paused and looked at the old lady with a firm gaze.
"I'm not jealous or trying to instigate this, I just hope that the Crown Prince can handle the affairs of the palace more rationally and put the overall situation first."
Upon hearing this, the old lady was silent for a moment, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes.
She nodded slowly and said, "Wanqing is right. I overlooked this point. Ming'er really needs to be more mature and stable."
