"Who?" Lin Wanqing frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"Yes...it's Su Qiao'er's brother, Su Yi."
Lin Wan'er's voice was as low as a mosquito's, but it reached Lin Wanqing's ears clearly.
"Su Yi? What does he want you to do?"
A hint of doubt and alertness flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes.
"Cousin, actually I..."
Lin Wan'er's voice became even lower, as if she was telling a secret that was difficult to speak of.
"I don't like Su Qiao'er, so I just wanted to cause her some trouble, so... I spread the rumor that she was in huge debt."
Lin Wanqing frowned when she heard this. She didn't expect Lin Wan'er to be so childish and impulsive.
"Wan'er, do you know how much of an impact this rumor will have on the reputation of Su Qiao'er and even the Prince's Mansion once it spreads?"
Lin Wan'er lowered her head and tears fell again.
She choked and said, "I know I was wrong, but I really just wanted her to suffer a little. Besides, I asked Su Yi for help just to ask him to help me confirm the effect of the rumor. I didn't expect..."
"What didn't you expect?" Lin Wanqing asked, already having an ominous premonition in his heart.
"I didn't expect Su Yi to use me and lure me there, and... and even attracted the horse bandits."
When Lin Wan'er said this, her body trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was still in fear of what happened that night.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's expression suddenly became serious.
Lin Wanqing sighed softly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Wan'er, do you know that this action of yours not only fails to relieve the hatred in my heart, but instead pushes my Lin family into the cusp of trouble? I will handle Su Qiao'er's matter myself, and there is no need for you to interfere. As a daughter of the Lin family, you should act more cautiously. How can you be so reckless?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er's face turned even paler. She lowered her head and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.
"Cousin, I... I just saw how much you hated Su Qiao'er, and I thought if I helped you vent your anger, you'd be happier. I really didn't expect things to develop like this..."
Lin Wanqing's eyes became sharper, and she gently patted the back of Lin Wan'er's hand.
But the force seemed to penetrate the skin and hit the soul.
"Wan'er, there's no need to pretend in front of me. You and I have had different personalities since we were young. I can at least guess what you're thinking."
There was a hint of helplessness in her words, but also revealed an unquestionable firmness.
"I don't disagree with you plotting against someone, but at least you should do it cleanly and without leaving any evidence. Now, not only have you failed to hurt Su Qiaoer in the slightest, but you've put yourself in danger. How foolish is that?"
“Remember, true wisdom lies not in how to scheme against others, but in how to protect yourself and how to remain invincible in troubled times.”
Lin Wan'er was shocked when she heard this. She looked up at Lin Wanqing, her eyes full of astonishment.
She had never thought that Lin Wanqing would point out her mistakes so bluntly, let alone that Lin Wanqing would be so far-sighted.
"Cousin, I...I was wrong."
Lin Wan'er's voice was choked with sobs. She lowered her head and tears fell again.
"I will change. I will never act so impulsively again."
Lin Wanqing sighed softly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, stop crying. I will send someone to investigate what happened tonight. As for Su Yi, since he dared to touch you, I will naturally not let him go."
Lin Wanqing's voice was cold and resolute, like the chilly wind in winter, making people shudder.
When Lin Wan'er heard this, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.
Fortunately, Lin Wanqing is here, so she doesn't have to worry anymore.
The carriage fell silent again, but this silence was no longer oppressive.
There was a hint of trembling in Lin Wan'er's voice. She held Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw.
"Cousin, I...what should I do? Lu Ming...he has already found out about me and said he will punish me severely."
Lin Wanqing's eyes darkened slightly when she heard this. She gently stroked the back of Lin Wan'er's hand, giving her a little comfort.
"Wan'er, don't be afraid. I'm here. However, I want to know first, besides you, who else is involved in spreading this rumor?"
Lin Wan'er bit her lip.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "It was... Su Yi. He helped me confirm the effectiveness of the rumor, and he was the one who suggested using it to take revenge on Su Qiao'er."
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.
Su Yi, it was indeed him.
"Wan'er, you've been completely taken advantage of this time. However, now that things have come to this, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Lin Wanqing's eyes became sharp.
After thinking for a moment, she said to Lin Wan'er, "Go back first and pretend to be frightened by the bandits."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er nodded quickly, as if she had found her backbone.
"Thank you, cousin. I knew you would help me."
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, but that smile contained a sharpness that could not be ignored.
"You are my cousin, so I will not stand idly by. Let this incident be a lesson for you."
Lin Wan'er nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of gratitude and regret.
Lin Wanqing's eyes were deep, as if they could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
"Wan'er, since Su Yi is plotting against you like this, we can't let him off easy. Did you leave any clues when you were dealing with him?"
Lin Wan'er thought about it carefully, shook her head, her eyes full of regret.
"No, cousin, I was only thinking about getting revenge on Su Qiaoer, and I didn't care about anything else."
Lin Wanqing sighed softly, but did not show too much disappointment.
"It doesn't matter. Since Su Yi likes gambling, this is his weakness. We can make a big fuss about it and throw all the dirty water on his head."
Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up, as if she saw the dawn of hope.
"Cousin, you mean..."
“Yes,”
Lin Wanqing curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.
"We can fabricate some evidence to make everyone think that it was Su Yi who deliberately spread rumors to frame his sister Su Qiaoer in order to get the money. In this way, not only will he not be able to escape the blame, but his reputation will also be ruined."
Lin Wan'er was stunned. She had never thought that revenge could be so clever and cruel.
She couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for Lin Wanqing's wisdom.
"Cousin, you are so awesome! Now, that bastard Su Yi is definitely going to be in trouble!"
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, but there was a chill in that smile that could not be ignored.
"This is just the beginning, Wan'er. Remember, we must not only make him pay the price, but also let him know that the people of our Lin family are not so easy to bully."
Lin Wan'er was filled with excitement, as if she had already seen Su Yi's miserable appearance.
She held Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, with a determined light in her eyes.
