Chapter 107 Terrified
The old lady looked up at Lin Wanqing with a hint of approval in her eyes.
"Wanqing, you are indeed a far-sighted woman. In the future, if Ming'er does anything wrong, I hope you can remind him more often."
Lin Wanqing nodded in agreement, "I will do my best."
Coming out of the old lady's yard, Lin Wanqing took a deep breath of fresh air and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Today's words not only made the old lady trust her more, but also successfully planted doubts about Su Qiaoer in her heart.
This is the effect she wants.
She believed that it wouldn't be long before Su Qiaoer's life in the Prince's Mansion would no longer be so easy.
Thinking of Su Qiaoer's smug look, a hint of coldness flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.
She wanted to see how long Su Qiaoer could remain so proud.
In the following days, Lin Wanqing began to rectify the internal affairs of the Prince's Mansion.
She acted decisively and clearly defined rewards and punishments, and soon won the respect and trust of everyone in the mansion.
At the same time, she was always paying attention to Su Qiaoer's movements.
Although Su Qiao'er was favored, she was of humble origin and had limited knowledge.
Under Lin Wanqing's secret guidance, she soon revealed her true colors.
One day, the old lady suddenly sent someone to call Su Qiaoer to her yard.
Su Qiao'er was overjoyed, thinking that the old lady was going to reward her with something, but she was shocked by the old lady's expression as soon as she entered the room.
"Su, do you admit your guilt?" The old lady's voice was so stern that Su Qiaoer suddenly panicked.
"Madam, I... I don't know what I did wrong." Su Qiaoer answered in a trembling voice.
The old lady snorted coldly and threw an account book in front of Su Qiaoer.
"Look at what you've done!"
Su Qiaoer picked up the account book and took a look at it, her face suddenly turned pale.
This account book recorded everything she had done in the mansion during this period, including how she withheld the monthly wages of servants, how she accepted bribes, how she bullied the weak, etc.
"This...this is all a misunderstanding...Old Madam, please listen to my explanation..."
Su Qiaoer panicked and tried to explain, but found she had no idea where to start.
The old lady looked at Su Qiaoer and felt disappointed and angry.
She originally thought that Su Qiao'er was just a spoiled concubine, but she didn't expect her to be so bold as to do such a thing.
"Su, you disappoint me so much!" The old lady slammed the table and said harshly, "Do you think no one knows what you have done? Do you think that because Ming'er dotes on you, you can do whatever you want in the mansion?"
"I'm telling you, it's not your turn to run wild in this Prince's Mansion!"
The old lady's words were like heavy hammers, hitting Su Qiaoer's heart.
She finally realized that she had really gotten into big trouble this time.
"Madam, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong..." Su Qiao'er knelt on the ground, begging with tears streaming down her face, "Please forgive me this time, Madam. I won't dare to do it again..."
However, the old lady remained indifferent to her pleas.
"Su, you've done something like this, how can I let you off so easily?" The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Come here, put Su in solitary confinement as a warning to others!"
Following the old lady's order, a servant immediately came forward and dragged Su Qiaoer out.
Su Qiaoer's screams echoed in the yard, making everyone terrified.
Lin Wanqing stood not far away, watching this scene, a satisfied smile on his face.
Pei'er was very happy when she saw Su Qiao'er being dragged away.
She quickly ran to Lin Wanqing and said with a happy face, "That's good. Su Qiaoer has finally fallen flat on her face. She won't dare to bother you again."
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, but her eyes were deep.
"Pei'er, you're too happy too early. Although Su Qiao'er made a mistake, she's pregnant now. No matter how angry the old lady is, she won't be cruel to her."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Pei'er's face gradually froze, and she asked doubtfully, "Then... then won't she be able to continue to be so arrogant?"
Lin Wanqing shook her head slightly, a gleam in her eyes.
"Arrogant? Not necessarily. Although the old lady won't punish her severely, she has already felt resentful. It will be difficult for her to be favored like before."
As he spoke, Lin Wanqing's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
"Besides, Su Qiao'er is a proud and arrogant person. How could she let this humiliation go? I'm afraid there will be even more exciting dramas to come."
Pei'er was stunned and took a long time to react.
"My lady, you are so thoughtful. I almost got too happy."
Lin Wanqing chuckled and patted Pei'er on the shoulder.
"Let's go, let's go back, the best is yet to come."
Lin Wanqing and Pei'er were about to turn around and leave when they saw Lu Ming coming hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.
He went straight to the old lady's yard, obviously coming for Su Qiaoer's matter.
"Grandma, your grandson wants to see you."
There was a hint of urgency in Lu Ming's voice, and he pushed the door open without waiting for a response.
Seeing this, the old lady frowned slightly, but did not say much.
As soon as Lu Ming entered the room, he knelt down in front of the old lady and pleaded, "Grandma, I know I was wrong. Please forgive Qiao'er this time."
The old lady looked directly at Lu Ming with a sharp gaze, her tone filled with disappointment and severity.
"Ming'er, do you realize how absurd your actions today are? You are completely unaware of what the Su family has done?"
Lu Ming lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
"My grandson was indeed negligent, but Qiao'er...she is pregnant now. I beg Grandmother to spare her life for the sake of the child."
The old lady was furious when she heard this.
"You're still mentioning the child! If she truly cared about the Prince's Mansion, how could she do such a thing? As a Prince, how could you be so lustful and blinded by your thoughts!"
Lu Ming was scolded by the old lady until his face turned red, but he still did not give up.
"Grandma, I am willing to take all the responsibility. I only ask that you give Qiao'er a chance to reform."
The old lady sighed and shook her head.
"Ming'er, you are too kind and have forgotten the responsibility and decision-making that a prince should have. I know what to do with the Su family's affairs. You don't need to say more."
After saying that, the old lady waved her hand and signaled the servants to take Lu Ming out.
Lu Ming wanted to say something else, but was forcibly dragged out of the yard by the servants.
Lin Wanqing and Pei'er hid in the dark and saw everything.
Lin Wanqing curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and thought to himself: Lu Ming, Lu Ming, you are still too naive after all.
Pei'er was also relieved when she saw this.
"Miss, look, even the prince came to plead for Su Qiaoer, but the old lady remained unmoved. Su Qiaoer is really in trouble now."
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, with a calculating look in his eyes.
"Failed? This is just the beginning. Let's wait and see how many more tricks this drama can perform."
Lin Wanqing carried the medicine bowl and walked lightly into Lu Shengyuan's study.
