Mr. Zheng deeply loves his concubine, especially the young child. Lord Wu's threat has touched his bottom line.

Lord Wu was not panicked. He still smiled coldly and said calmly: "I am not here for anything else today, I just want you to give me an explanation. As for this child and this lady, I don't want to make things difficult for them. As long as you cooperate, they will be safe and sound."

When Mr. Zheng heard this, his eyes flashed, knowing that Lord Wu was desperate and actually used this method to threaten him.

While comforting his mistress, he gently patted the back of her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will never let you and the child get hurt."

Then, he turned to Lord Wu, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "Since you have come this far, I will naturally cooperate. Let them go, and I will tell you everything you want to know."

Seeing that he had surrendered, Lord Wu nodded coldly and waved to the outer room beside him: "You can leave now."

The outer room looked at Mr. Zheng. Although she was still uneasy, she knew that it was useless to stay any longer at this moment, so she nodded obediently and quickly left the room with the child.

After the door was closed, Lord Wu looked at Master Zheng with a sneer, "Let's be frank. I'm not greedy, I just want to know who's behind you. During this period of time, your clothing store has a constant supply of goods, and the price is so low. There must be someone behind you helping you. Who is supporting you to deal with the Wu family?"

Mr. Zheng was silent for a moment, then sighed, as if he didn't want to hide anything anymore.

He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Since you want to know, I will tell you. Yes, there is indeed an expert behind me, and this expert is the eighth girl of the Lin family."

When Lord Wu heard the name, his face instantly turned livid, his eyes were full of hatred, his fists were clenched tightly, and his teeth were chattering.

"Lin Ruoxuan!" He was so angry that his teeth were itching. This woman was so vicious that she set up such a big trap quietly, causing the Wu family to fall into such a situation.

She suppressed the Wu family's business and won over the Zheng family. She took every step carefully and almost wiped out the Wu family.

Master Zheng looked at Lord Wu's angry expression, sighed lightly, and persuaded him: "Lord Wu, I know you are dissatisfied in your heart, but Lin Ruoxuan is not an ordinary woman. Her methods and background are not something that even I dare to offend easily, let alone you. If you continue to be her enemy, you will only suffer greater losses."

Lord Wu stared at him fiercely, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Are you trying to persuade me to suffer in silence?"

Mr. Zheng shook his head. "Not to mention you, Lord Wu, even I, Zheng, can only avoid her. It's not because I'm afraid of her, but because of her complicated background and the Gu family's support behind her. Moreover, if you continue to deal with her, I will definitely stand on her side. By then, you will not only face Lin Ruoxuan, but also my Zheng family."

At this point, Mr. Zheng's tone became serious, with a hint of warning in his words: "Master Wu, I, Zheng, have sons, so I don't worry about any retaliation. And all the girls in your Wu family are waiting to find a husband. If it really comes to the end, I'm afraid it will be bad for your family's reputation. Don't blame me for my dirty tricks, but if you dare to touch my concubine and children, I will not show mercy."

Lord Wu was left speechless by Master Zheng's words, and the anger in his eyes grew more intense, but he knew in his heart that Master Zheng was telling the truth.

He was unwilling to give in, so he could only grit his teeth in anger, snorted coldly, turned around and left Qinglan Lane angrily, his heart full of anger and helplessness.

Mr. Zheng appeared calm on the surface, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lord Wu would never give up so easily.

He had just clearly warned Lord Wu, but he knew in his heart that people like Lord Wu were more likely to do crazy things the more they were pushed into a desperate situation.

He stood in the house, pondered for a moment, and made a decision in his heart.

He called softly, "Someone come."

Soon, the servant came forward, waited respectfully, and asked in a low voice: "Master, what do you want?"

Mr. Zheng said in a steady tone: "Make arrangements immediately and pack up your things. I want to take them back to the Zheng family. This house in Qinglan Lane is no longer safe."

The servant nodded quickly: "Yes, sir."

Then, Master Zheng lowered his voice and ordered, "Also, quickly send a letter to Miss Lin and tell her everything that happened just now, especially the threat from Lord Wu. I'm worried that Lord Wu will do something bad to her because of this, so tell her to be careful and be prepared to deal with it."

After receiving the order, the servant immediately withdrew and hurried to do his work.

Lin.

Lin Ruoxuan was sitting in the hall, looking calm, sipping tea.

The Zheng family's servant stood by respectfully and reported to her in a low voice everything that happened in Qinglan Lane.

After listening to the servant's report, a hint of coldness flashed across Lin Ruoxuan's eyes, but her face remained calm.

She gently put down the teacup and said calmly, "I understand."

Lin Ruoxuan waved her hand, and Hongya beside her immediately understood. She turned around, took out a small ingot of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the servant.

Hongya said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your hard work. This is the reward you deserve. Take it."

The Zheng family servant hurriedly bowed his head to express his gratitude, took the reward, and retreated respectfully.

After the servant walked away, Hongya turned around, her brows furrowed, a look of deep worry on her face.

"Miss, Lord Wu will not let this matter go. Shouldn't we make plans early? Why not tell the prince? With his support, we will be safer." Hong Ya's tone was a little anxious.

Lu Qiao beside her also nodded in agreement, with worry in her voice: "Yes, young lady, this time Lord Wu has threatened Mr. Zheng's concubine and children. What if he attacks you again? The prince is here, at least he can help us hold the situation."

However, Lin Ruoxuan smiled, with determination in her eyes.

She raised her eyes, swept her gaze across the two maids with a firm look, and said softly, "You don't have to worry. Don't tell Nan Yuan about this for the time being."

"But, girl..." Hong Ya was about to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Lin Ruoxuan.

"Lord Wu has a grudge against me. This is something I expected and there is no doubt about it." Lin Ruoxuan's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable power. "But because of this, I must seize this opportunity to completely make the Wu family disappear from the capital."

"It's time for the Wu family to pay the price, and I'm not unprepared." There was a sharp, cold light flashing in her eyes, as cold as a falcon staring at its prey.

Hongya and Luqiao looked at each other, their eyes full of worry.
