The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

"Pass it on. Lin Shiyuan and Wang Wenzhao openly fought in the hall without any regard for their official image. They will each be fined three months' salary!"

Although the two were unwilling, they had no choice but to express their gratitude respectfully in front of the furious emperor.

"Tell me, why did you two fight?"

The emperor calmed down for a moment, then asked the two people in a bad mood.

A civil official beside Wang Wenzhao immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we heard that the daughter of the Lin family was suspected of instigating a couple to divorce in a restaurant, causing her husband to cry bitterly. He still can't express the pain in his heart. Miss Lin is destroying people's marriages, which is a great evil!"

"Lord Wang also has good intentions and wants to persuade Lord Lin."

Gu Nanyuan snorted coldly, "Since Lord Liu said it was suspected, then it is something that cannot be confirmed. Since it cannot be confirmed, Lord Wang and the others are gossiping about it. This is what gossip women do. How can such behavior be worthy of being an official? It would be better for you to resign and become a country bumpkin."

Everyone was speechless.

Although some people were not convinced, due to Gu Nanyuan's status, they did not dare to refute and admitted their mistakes one after another.

"General Gu is right. We were talking nonsense."

They could offend Qi Lin Shiyuan, but they couldn't afford to offend the Gu family.

What's more, Gu Nanyuan's attitude is unclear now, and they are not sure whether the Gu family will support the Lin family.

After all, the daughter of the Lin family had caused such a scandal. If it were someone else, the engagement would have been cancelled long ago.

However, Gu Nanyuan not only did not cancel the engagement, but he openly protected it. This made everyone unsure of Gu Nanyuan's thoughts for a while.

The emperor saw that Gu Nanyuan had already spoken, so it was difficult for him to say anything more.

After all, Gu Nanyuan was the one who was engaged to Lin Ruoxuan, and Gu Nanyuan himself didn't say anything, so it was naturally difficult for outsiders like them to say anything.

"Okay, let's go to court!"

After the morning court session, Lin Shiyuan was still in a bad mood. When he returned home, he did not go to Sun Rong's place, but went to Chen Wan's yard instead.

When Sun Rong learned about this, she became even more worried. She was not worried about Lin Shiyuan, but Lin Ruoxuan.

"If the Eighth Miss comes back, please ask her to come to the courtyard."

Sun Rong was still worried, so she asked Nanny Cong to wait in Lin Ruoxuan's courtyard.

The rumors in the capital city about Lin Ruoxuan drinking and forcing a couple to divorce were getting more and more outrageous. In the end, some people even said that Lin Ruoxuan forced a good woman into prostitution because she was attracted by the beauty of the wife and wanted to kidnap her to do some improper things to make money for herself.

Some people also said that Lin Ruoxuan had forced a couple to break up. When the couple refused to obey, Lin Ruoxuan took advantage of her power to bully them...

What surprised the two was that all the protagonists in this incident did not appear, including Wang Xiucai, Wang Xiucai's wife, Wang Ba, and even Lin Ruoqiao. Only Lin Ruoxuan's name was mentioned repeatedly, and she was constantly humiliated and whipped.

As this incident fermented, Lin Ruoxuan's reputation became worse and worse, and finally plummeted.

Those who once had a good impression of Lin Ruoxuan for disregarding her own reputation and saving her sister from the wolf's den, now began to despise her.

I felt that Lin Ruoxuan was just pretending at the time and that's why she deceived everyone.

Such a vicious person probably did not save her sister, but was jealous of her sister's good life, so he destroyed her sister's husband's family.

As for the fact that the Ou family favored their concubine and killed their wife, no one mentioned it.

Under such circumstances, the Lin family was naturally affected.

Lin Shiyuan had a sullen face all day, and Lotus Sun was also worried every day. The most proud person among them was Lin Ruoxi.

Especially when she heard outsiders belittling and insulting Lin Ruoxuan, she just felt happy in her heart.

But she also knew that the current Lin Ruoxuan was no longer the Eighth Miss who allowed herself to be manipulated by them. Although she was proud in her heart, she did not show it in front of others.

I just hope that the Gu family will hear about what has happened so that they can cancel Lin Ruoxuan's marriage.

Without the support of the Gu family, she wanted to see how arrogant and complacent Lin Ruoxuan could still be!

Seeing Sun Rong's worried look every day, Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help herself and went out to find Gu Nanyuan.

Inside the teahouse, Gu Nanyuan personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Ruoxuan and soothed her in a gentle voice.

"Don't worry too much. We have already found some clues about this matter. We will be able to find out the person behind it soon."

"I have also asked someone to keep an eye on Mr. Wang and his wife, and will not let them cause any trouble."

"You just need to wait patiently. When the time comes, I will make sure everyone will clear your name."

There were many people who accused Lin Ruoxuan these days, and even the nobles in the palace heard some of the noise. They also sent people to ask a few questions, but Gu Nanyuan was able to sit still and just told the nobles to rest assured, and the other party stopped asking more questions.

But while the nobles in the palace could sit still, the Lin family was in dire straits.

The first one who couldn't help it was the old lady of the Lin family. The old lady looked at the Lin family as if it was shrouded in a layer of depression, and her face became dark with anger.

"Someone, please invite the lady here."

Nanny Wei looked at Sun Rong's worried look and could not help but snorted coldly.

"Madam, the old lady asked you to go."

Sun Rong didn't care about Nanny Wei's attitude at this moment. She responded and followed Nanny Wei obediently.

"Sun, do you know your mistake?"

The old lady of the Lin family started questioning Sun Rong as soon as she opened her mouth.

Lotus Sun was startled and quickly knelt down.

"Mother, I..."

Before Sun Rong could explain, the old lady interrupted her.

"Xuan Jie'er is your daughter, and she has been raised by you since she was young. Now that something like this has happened, it's because you haven't been a strict housekeeper and haven't taught Xuan Jie'er enough. If you had paid more attention and taught Xiao Ba carefully, such a ridiculous thing wouldn't have happened!"

Sun Rong was unwilling to accept it. "Madam, there must be something else going on. Xuan'er is not a reckless person. She did that not because she intended to instigate a divorce. It was because the man went too far and beat and scolded his wife at will. Xuan'er was acting bravely."

"As for those rumors outside, they are all from people who want to slander Xuan'er and ruin her reputation. These are all false, old lady, please don't believe them."

However, the old lady snorted coldly, "What slander is there? I only believe what I saw and heard. Now I see that the entire Lin family is in dire straits because of your rebellious son. I heard that because of her, the reputation of our Lin family is ruined!"

"Sun, you still don't know your mistake!"

The old lady snorted coldly, and Sun Rong knew that she was really angry.

"When you go back today, lock up that rebellious girl and let her reflect on her mistakes! This way, I can give an explanation to the other families."
