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

Seeing her blaming herself so much, Lin Ruoxuan comforted her, "Mother, Fourth Brother won't blame you, but you should fight for yourself. If you don't fight for it, Miss Liu won't hand over the household affairs to you."

Lotus Sun took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.

"Okay, mother knows."

Lin Ruoxuan explained to her: "Mother, you are just concerned about your face and don't want to embarrass everyone, so Liu Xiaoniang knows your personality. Although she looks weak on the surface, she is actually very domineering and strong. She is weak only to please father. She is a real two-faced person. You just need to show your mistress's airs appropriately."

Mother was too delicate. She couldn't just tell Sun Rong to ask for the household expenses. If she did, her father would definitely not give it to her, and Liu Xiaoniang would make trouble and step on her mother to get to the top.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Sun Rong nodded: "Mother will make changes."

Whether for herself or for her children, she has to fight for it.

Seeing that no one was around, Lin Ruoxuan lowered her voice and whispered something into Sun Rong's ear. Sun Rong was very nervous and worried, "Xuan'er, is it really okay to do this?"

She said affirmatively, "Of course you can. What we can do now is to retreat in order to advance. If we are too aggressive, it will make father feel uncomfortable. If the gap between you two deepens by then, who knows how proud Liu Xiaoniang will be."

Sun Rong adjusted her breathing and held the handkerchief tightly.

"Okay, then mother will try it."

It was getting late, so Lotus Sun got up and left. After leaving Qingmuxuan, she went to the old lady's yard first.

When the old lady knew that Sun Rong was coming, she fiddled with her Buddhist beads and listened: "What is she doing here? Is she not happy about the eldest girl going to Yuying Lane?"

Mother Hong didn't say anything.

The old lady continued to fiddle with her Buddhist beads.

"Go and invite the people over."

"Yes, old lady."

After Sun Rong came in, she sat on the chair that Mother Hong had brought. "Mother, I haven't been feeling well lately, so I haven't come to pay my respects to you. I hope you can forgive me. However, I copied some Buddhist scriptures during my time at home, and I will give them to you tomorrow when I come to pay my respects."

The old lady was somewhat surprised to hear her say this. She had originally thought that Lotus Sun came here to vent her dissatisfaction, but she had not expected this to be the case. Her eyes became a little softer.

"You are so thoughtful. Since you are not feeling well, you should take a good rest for a few days. We can talk about paying respects later."

"Thank you for your concern, mother, but I am fine now."

The old lady hummed: "It's good as long as it's okay."

Sun Rong sat for a while before leaving. Mother Hong saw her off and then hurried back. She glanced at the old lady and had a lot to say.

The old lady gestured, “Go ahead.”

Mother Hong then spoke up: "Old lady, why do I feel that the eldest lady is a little different from before."

The old lady naturally saw it, and could guess her intention to some extent: "It is a little different, but it's good this way. How are the food, clothing and daily expenses at Sister Xue's place?"

Mother Hong reported: "Everything is excellent. Miss Eight arranged everything for her very well."

The old lady was relieved.

"Although Xuan Jie'er's personality is not so likable and she doesn't know how to act properly, she has a good heart and doesn't think too much. Well, let her be."

Lotus Sun did not return to her own courtyard, but went directly to Zhongting Hall: "Sir."

When Lin Shiyuan saw Sun Rong coming over, he thought she wanted to plead for Lin Ruoxue's matter. He couldn't help but feel impatient when looking at her. He didn't treat her well and looked impatient when he spoke.

"How did you get here?"

Sun Rong stood in front of his desk, and slowly ground ink for him. "I have nothing to do right now, so I thought I'd come over to see you. I remember you liked the ink I ground the most, saying it was very fine. I'll finish grinding it later, and you can try it and see if my craftsmanship has deteriorated."

Lin Shiyuan raised his eyebrows calmly. He didn't expect that Sun Rong came here to do these things. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"it is good."

After grinding the ink, the man picked up the brush and wrote and drew on the paper. Noticing that she ground the ink as delicately as before, he felt much better: "Rong'er, your craftsmanship has not deteriorated. It's the same as before. Those servants can't do these as well as you."

Sun Rong quickly followed up his words and said, "If you find it useful, I will come over to grind ink for you in the future. Anyway, I have nothing to do right now. Sister Xue is out and Brother Xun is also studying outside. It's rare that you don't mind."

Lin Shiyuan felt sad.

"If you don't find it hard, come over."

Sun Rong measured his eyes and said, "How can I feel it's hard? It is my blessing to be able to serve you, sir."

Lin Shiyuan looked at Sun Rong again and felt that she was very different from before, which was the best.

"Row."

She continued to grind the ink while Lin Shiyuan picked up his pen and wrote. It was very late. Sun Rong wanted to go back, but Lin Shiyuan kept her there for dinner. He looked at the figure of the woman in front of him and suddenly thought of the time when they were together just now. He hooked his arm around her waist and brought her to the bed.

The heated atmosphere was getting higher and higher.

Sun Rong got up early to serve Lin Shiyuan. After he came back from the morning court, Sun Rong was flipping through books in the study. Lin Shiyuan was in a good mood to see her waiting here. She could see that the man was very happy now, and she sighed casually.

"I came here with my brother not long ago, but I saw you go back again. Miss Liu is lucky to have her son and daughter by her side. It's not like Xun'er will come back anytime soon. How can a parent not miss you?"

Lin Shiyuan felt even more guilty.

"Brother Xun will have to wait for some time."

Lotus Sun noticed that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so she quickly changed the subject: "Look at me, why are you talking about this?"

Lin Shiyuan stood up from his chair and reached out to pinch the woman's soft shoulders.

"If you miss Brother Xun, I'll ask him to send back a few more letters."

Sun Rong shook her head: "Forget it, Brother Xun is at the age of studying, and as a mother, I don't want her to be distracted too much. I hope that he can succeed in his studies and pass the imperial examinations. This will be worthy of your training, sir."

The man felt very comfortable with her words. Sun Rong was a lady from a wealthy family. She was very sensible and thoughtful, and these were things that Liu Xiaoniang could never learn. In addition, Sun Rong was now humble, and he liked her very much. He stayed at Sun Rong's place for several nights in a row.

He always felt that Lotus Sun was much more delicate than before.

"What maintenance methods have you used recently?"

Sun Rong smiled and said, "It was just Sister Xuan who messed around with it."
