Chapter 373 It’s Difficult to Prove Yourself
Lin Wanqing bit her lower lip lightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "My daughter has made up her mind, father, please rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Father Lin was slightly stunned.
He looked at Lin Wanqing, trying to read more information from her expression, but Lin Wanqing just smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Although Father Lin was confused, he knew his daughter's personality. Since she said she had a way, she must have her own plan.
"Okay." Father Lin nodded, his tone firm, "Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
Lin Wanqing's eyes were filled with tears.
"Thank you, father." Lin Wanqing's voice was a little choked, but she still tried to remain calm. "Daughter will definitely take care of all this."
Father Lin looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes full of love and trust: "Okay, Wanqing, father believes in you."
Outside the window, the autumn wind continued to blow the branches of the willow tree, as if cheering Lin Wanqing on.
Lin Wanqing stood in the study, his heart full of confidence and determination.
I can't continue to be passive like this. I must take the initiative to clear my name.
But how should she do it?
At this moment, a light bulb went off in Lin Wanqing's mind, and she seemed to have thought of something.
"Father, I want to go to the restaurant." Lin Wanqing looked at her father with a firm voice.
Father Lin was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded: "Okay, go ahead, Pei'er, you go with the young lady."
"Yes, sir." Pei'er responded and turned to look at Lin Wanqing, "Miss, let's go."
Lin Wanqing nodded, turned and left the study.
The street outside the restaurant was bustling with people coming and going.
However, when Lin Wanqing walked into the restaurant, he was surprised to find that it was deserted with only a few tables of guests dining.
Lin Wanqing frowned, his heart full of doubts.
She clearly remembered that before she left, the restaurant was doing a booming business and was always full every day.
Why has it become like this now?
Lin Wanqing turned and looked at the housekeeper beside him, his eyes full of confusion: "Housekeeper, what's going on? Why has the restaurant become so deserted?"
The butler sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"You don't know, ever since that incident with you, the restaurant has been plagued by all kinds of rumors. Those people say that you... you..."
The butler hesitated to speak, as if he didn't dare to say those vicious words.
Lin Wanqing just smiled faintly, with a glint of determination in his eyes: "It's okay, go ahead."
The housekeeper looked at Lin Wanqing's determined eyes, gritted his teeth, and continued, "Those people said that you were not a faithful wife, and that the food in our restaurant was unclean and would make you sick. Once these words spread, the restaurant's business plummeted."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's eyes became even colder.
These people are really bullying!
Not only did they tarnish her reputation, they also affected the restaurant's business!
"Princess, what should we do now?" The housekeeper looked at Lin Wanqing anxiously, "If this continues, the restaurant will go bankrupt!"
Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Now was not the time to act impulsively. She had to calm down and think of a solution.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded at the door of the restaurant: "Princess, you are here!"
Lin Wanqing turned around and saw Lu Shengyuan walking in quickly. His face was full of worry and anxiety, as if he was looking for her.
"Your Highness?" Lin Wanqing looked at him in surprise. "Why are you here?"
Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes full of concern: "I just saw you coming over, and I was a little worried, so I wanted to come and see you."
He looked around and saw the deserted scene in the restaurant, and immediately understood something in his heart.
"It seems you've been affected too." Lu Shengyuan sighed softly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. "These people are really going too far. Not only are they slandering your reputation, they're also bringing trouble to your restaurant."
Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, feeling a little touched.
In this difficult time, Lu Shengyuan was still able to stand by her and support her, which made her feel very warm.
"Your Highness, I'm fine." Lin Wanqing forced a smile, trying to lighten the mood. "I'm just trying to figure out how to solve these problems."
Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing with admiration in his eyes.
He liked this woman not only because of her beauty and talent, but also because of her strength and courage.
Faced with such a dilemma, she did not choose to give up, but tried hard to find a solution. Lu Shengyuan admired her spirit very much.
"Wanqing, don't worry." Lu Shengyuan patted Lin Wanqing's shoulder gently and said firmly, "I will help you find a solution."
Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned, then looked up at Lu Shengyuan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Your Highness, what can you do?"
Lu Shengyuan smiled slightly and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned and looked at the door of the restaurant.
"Come with me first, I'll show you something."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.
Lin Wanqing was full of curiosity. She didn't know what Lu Shengyuan was up to, but she still chose to believe him and followed him out of the restaurant.
The street outside the restaurant was bustling with people coming and going.
Lu Shengyuan brought Lin Wanqing to a corner of the street where a lot of people gathered and were talking.
"Have you heard? That Lin Wanqing is truly an unfaithful woman, and she even brought trouble to the restaurant."
"Yeah, I heard that eating restaurant food can make you sick!"
"Really? How can a woman like this be worthy of the prince?"
Hearing these words, Lin Wanqing's face became even uglier.
These people have no idea about the truth of the matter, yet they are making irresponsible comments here!
Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes: "Wanqing, do you see? There is no shortage of ignorant people in this world. They just follow the crowd and have no judgment of their own."
Lin Wanqing frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
Lu Shengyuan took a deep breath and said firmly, "If we want to solve these problems, we must seize the center of public opinion and let more people know the truth!"
When Lin Wanqing heard this, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to understand what Lu Shengyuan meant.
"You mean, we should take the initiative and expose the truth about those rumors?" Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan, her voice trembling slightly.
Lu Shengyuan nodded, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "That's right. As long as we can grasp the center of public opinion and let more people know the truth, those rumors will be self-defeating!"
Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.
"But how easy is it to prove our innocence?" Lin Wanqing sighed. "Those rumors have already taken root in people's minds. It will probably be difficult for us to clarify them."
