Chapter 218 Opening Warning
However, after this incident, Lin Wanqing became more cautious of the people around him and would no longer be as defenseless as before.
In the afternoon, Lin Wanqing was reading in the house when Chunmei's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Princess, Aunt Su is here."
Listening to Chunmei's words, Lin Wanqing frowned slightly. Su Qiaoer hadn't appeared in front of her for a long time. Why did she suddenly come today?
Although he was confused, Lin Wanqing still asked Chunmei to invite the person in.
After a while, Su Qiaoer followed Chunmei in. She looked at Lin Wanqing sitting on the chair and forced a smile on her face.
"I've met the princess."
Su Qiaoer spoke, her voice somewhat reluctant.
"Well, get up."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing responded indifferently. She looked Su Qiaoer up and down and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Su Qiaoer is a little different today than usual. She is dressed very gorgeously and has delicate makeup on her face. People who don’t know her would think she is going to meet her lover.
"Princess, I came here today to ask for a favor."
Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke awkwardly.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
When Lin Wanqing heard this, a half-smile appeared on her face. She wanted to see what tricks Su Qiaoer was trying to play.
"Princess, I want to leave the house for a while."
Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke cautiously.
"Leaving the house? What for?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing frowned slightly and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
"Princess, I haven't left the house for a long time. I want to go out for a walk."
Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing, her face full of pleading.
"Princess, please let me go out for a walk."
Looking at the pleading look on Su Qiaoer's face, Lin Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly. She always felt that Su Qiaoer was abnormal today, but for a moment, she couldn't figure out what was abnormal.
"Okay, I agree, but you have to come back early."
Although she was confused, Lin Wanqing still agreed. She wanted to see what tricks Su Qiaoer was going to play.
"Thank you, Princess. I will definitely come back soon."
Upon hearing this, Su Qiaoer smiled and quickly responded.
Looking at Su Qiaoer's leaving back, Lin Wanqing frowned slightly, and a look of deep thought appeared on his face.
"Princess, why did Aunt Su suddenly want to leave the house today?"
Chunmei looked at the direction Su Qiaoer left, her face full of confusion.
"I don't know either, but I feel like she's acting strangely today. Send someone to follow her and see what she's doing."
Lin Wanqing ordered.
"Yes, princess."
Chunmei heard this, responded, and turned to leave.
An hour later, Chunmei came back. She looked at Lin Wanqing with anger on her face.
"Princess, Aunt Su...she actually went to meet a man outside her family."
Chunmei spoke, her voice full of anger.
"What? Meeting a stranger in private?"
Listening to Chunmei's words, Lin Wanqing frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.
She asked why Su Qiaoer was acting so abnormally today, and it turned out that she had gone out to meet a man outside her family.
"Princess, I saw with my own eyes that Aunt Su and a man were having a secret meeting in a teahouse, and they were behaving very intimately."
Chunmei looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke again.
"Do you know who that man is?"
Lin Wanqing looked at Chunmei and asked in a deep voice.
"I have already sent someone to investigate, and there should be results soon."
Chunmei looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing nodded with a sneer on his face.
Su Qiao'er, do you really think I'm made of clay? How dare you meet a stranger under my nose? I want to see what you're up to.
After a while, the person sent to investigate came back and told Lin Wanqing the results of the investigation.
"Princess, I've already found out. The man who was secretly meeting Aunt Su was her childhood sweetheart. They grew up together and have a deep relationship."
"Later, the man's family fell into poverty, so he left the capital and only returned a few days ago."
Hearing the secret guard's words, Lin Wanqing raised his brows slightly. It turned out that they were childhood sweethearts. No wonder Su Qiaoer was so eager to meet him in private.
"Do you know what they talked about today?"
Lin Wanqing looked at the secret guard and asked again.
"Princess, they talked for a long time in the teahouse today. I didn't hear what they said clearly."
The secret guard looked at Lin Wanqing with some embarrassment and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing did not make things difficult for him. She waved her hand and motioned him to leave.
Su Qiaoer, I want to see what you want to do.
The next morning, Lin Wanqing received news that Su Qiaoer had left the house again.
"Princess, Aunt Su has left the house again. Should we send someone to follow her?"
Chunmei looked at Lin Wanqing and asked.
"Need not."
Lin Wanqing shook his head when he heard this. He already knew where Su Qiaoer was going yesterday, so there was no need to follow her today.
She wanted to see what Su Qiaoer wanted to do.
An hour later, Su Qiaoer came back. She looked at Lin Wanqing sitting in the yard, and a trace of guilt flashed across her face.
"I've met the princess."
Su Qiaoer walked up to Lin Wanqing and bowed.
"Well, get up."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing responded indifferently. She looked at Su Qiaoer with a half-smile on her face.
"Auntie Su, where did you go today?"
Hearing Lin Wanqing's words, Su Qiaoer's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"Princess, I am leaving the house today to visit a friend."
Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke with some guilt.
"Friend? I wonder which friend it is that Aunt Su cares so much about him and even goes out of the house to visit him personally?"
Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer and said with a smile that she wanted to see how Su Qiaoer would make up the story.
"Princess, it's... it's a distant relative of mine."
When Su Qiaoer heard this, her eyes became evasive and she didn't dare to look into Lin Wanqing's eyes.
"Distant relatives? When did Concubine Su have a distant relative? How come I don't know?"
Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer and said with a smile, "Does Su Qiaoer really think she is a fool?"
"Princess, I just contacted you recently."
Su Qiaoer looked at Lin Wanqing and spoke with some guilt.
"Really? Then Madam Su, please be careful. The capital is different from other places. There are dignitaries everywhere. If you offend one of them, it will be very bad."
Lin Wanqing looked at Su Qiaoer and spoke lightly. Her words were both a reminder to Su Qiaoer not to do anything that would damage the reputation of the palace, and a warning to her not to do anything out of line.
Listening to Lin Wanqing's words, Su Qiaoer's heart tightened. She always felt that there was something else behind Lin Wanqing's words, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Yes, the princess is teaching me that I will be careful with my words and actions and will not bring shame to the palace."
