Lin Wanqing suggested to Princess Fengxi that she find some beggars to ruin Su Ruojin's reputation.
Didn't people in ancient times value their reputation and innocence?
If Su Ruojin's innocence is ruined and she's reduced to a few dirty and smelly beggars, how can she still have the face to cling to the Regent? At that point, only death awaits her.
Lin Wanqing had witnessed Su Ruojin's prowess and warned Princess Fengxi to be careful, as Su Ruojin was somewhat strange.
Princess Fengxi listened to this advice and specifically sent four assassins to keep an eye on the matter.
But unexpectedly, a regent appeared out of nowhere and saved Su Ruojin, but also lost three assassins!
Lin Wanqing knew very well that if she couldn't handle Su Ruojin this time, she wouldn't get any credit with Princess Fengxi.
"Cuiju, come out with me." Lin Wanqing stood up.
"Yes, Miss." Cuiju took the cloak and veil and followed behind Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing had just stepped out of Princess Fengxi's Xiaoxiang Courtyard when she was blocked by someone.
"Oh my, when did such a beautiful young lady arrive at Xiaoxiang Courtyard?"
Before me stood a young man, who appeared to be no more than twenty years old. He was dressed in a white brocade robe, holding a folding fan, and the jade pendant hanging from his waist was as smooth and lustrous as solidified cream, clearly of considerable value.
If you ignore the lewdness in his eyes, he looks like a handsome young man.
After arriving at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Lin Wanqing stayed in Xiaoxiang Courtyard and dared not go out casually. She did not recognize the man in front of her for a moment.
However, judging from his attire, he should be the master of the mansion.
Lin Wanqing's mind raced as she sifted through the information she had gathered about the Dingguo Mansion over the past few days. She then curtsied gracefully and said, "Wanqing greets the Second Young Master."
Wei Xuecheng, the second son of the Duke of Dingguo, was an expert in all things related to eating, drinking, and having fun, and was a well-known playboy in the capital.
Wei Xuecheng snapped his folding fan shut: "Oh, little beauty, you know me? Wanqing, the Book of Songs says, 'There is a beautiful woman, graceful and charming,' a good name, very fitting for a beauty like you."
Lin Wanqing did not want to have much contact with this second young master, so she bowed again and said, "Second young master, Wanqing has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
After bowing, she hurriedly left with Cuiju, her steps somewhat flustered.
Lin Wanqing had heard that this Second Young Master Wei liked to frequent brothels and had taken advantage of many innocent young girls.
He once married a principal wife, who died of illness a year after their marriage. He has not remarried since, but he has six concubines and countless maids.
Wei Xuecheng didn't stop her anymore. He tapped his palm with his folding fan, a smile playing on his lips as he watched Lin Wanqing's departing figure.
After leaving the mansion, Lin Wanqing put on a veil, came to a small courtyard, knocked on the door, and went inside.
Zhang Mama was in the courtyard. Lin Wanqing had moved into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, so she could only bring Cuiju in with her. Zhang Mama had to stay in the courtyard.
"Zhang Mama, you should set off back to Yanyang now and give this letter to Mother." Lin Wanqing took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Mama.
This was also Zhang Mama's first time in the capital. She was dazzled by the city's prosperity and was reluctant to leave.
“Miss, Madam asked this old servant to help you. Why don’t you let Cuiju go back? It would be safer for this old servant to stay by your side.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing knew perfectly well what Zhang Mama was thinking.
Ha, an old maid actually wants to go into the Duke of Dingguo's mansion with her.
However, since she was still needed, Lin Wanqing patiently comforted her, "Granny, don't worry, you're just going back temporarily to bring someone for me."
Hearing Lin Wanqing say this, Zhang Mama was relieved: "Miss, don't worry, this old servant will definitely take care of things for you."
