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

"Who knows? The situation in the capital is ever-changing, and ordinary people like us are just watching the fun."

At this time, at Lin's house.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao walked quickly into the yard, hurried all the way.

They had just heard about the changes that had happened in the Qi family, and their hearts were full of confusion and worry, so they all rushed to Lin Ruoxue's yard at the same time.

"Big sister!" Lin Ruoqiao spoke first, walked into the inner hall, and said anxiously, "The Qi family has lost its lordship. What's going on? Do you still want to continue with Master Qi?"

Lin Ruoxuan also asked: "Big sister, now that the Qi family has lost the Marquis, although Lord Qi and Master Qi are still serving in the court, their status is much lower than before. Do you really not care?"

Lin Ruoxue was sitting in front of the window, wearing a simple dress, her face looked normal, without a trace of anxiety.

She knew her sisters were concerned about her, so she smiled slightly, raised her head and said gently: "Look at your expressions, why are you so anxious? The Qi family has lost the title, but it doesn't mean anything."

"Have you forgotten that Qi Zeshen still holds an official position, and Lord Qi is in charge of two major military camps. How could he not be able to support his family?"

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao looked at each other. Although they felt a little relieved from their worries, they were still full of doubts.

Lin Ruoqiao frowned and asked, "But, if you lose the lordship, what will those nobles in the court think? Will they alienate you because of this?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruoxue sighed softly, her eyes far away: "Seventh sister, you have to understand that although the title is important, it is not everything. The hearts of people in the court are unpredictable. What can really determine the fate of a family is not the title, but their strength and confidence."

She stood up, walked to the window, gently lifted the gauze curtain, and looked at the courtyard outside.

"Both Young Master Qi and Lord Qi are capable people. Although the Qi family has lost the glory of the marquisate, the emperor has handed over the military power to Lord Qi, which is a kind of trust in itself. The Qi family has only lost a title, but Young Master Qi's ability and loyalty have never changed."

Lin Ruoxuan listened carefully, and understood Lin Ruoxue's thoughts, and admired her very much.

If this happened to her, she would definitely make the same choice.

Inside the Qi residence, Qi Sijun had just settled his family down and started thinking about other things.

He knew that although the current situation of the Qi family was temporarily stable, the impact of losing the title of marquis would sooner or later affect everything he had, especially Qi Zeshen's marriage.

Madam Qi gently pushed open the door of the study and walked in with a cup of hot tea. Seeing Qi Sijun standing in front of the window, she called softly, "Master, it's late at night. Take a rest and don't worry about these things anymore."

Qi Sijun turned to look at his wife with a complicated expression, and said with a little worry: "Madam, although I have obtained military power, my connections in the court and the capital are no longer the same as before. What worries me most is the marriage between Ze Shen and the eldest daughter of the Lin family."

Madam Qi gently placed the teacup on the table, frowned slightly, and sighed, "I also know that the eldest daughter of the Lin family and our Ze Shen were in love with each other in the past, but the Lin family is different now.

Since the eighth girl got engaged to the Gu family, the status of the Lin family has risen, and the marriage with the eldest girl of the Lin family may not be as smooth as before. "

Qi Sijun's brows knitted tighter. He walked slowly to the desk, sat down, and said in a low voice: "That's right. Although Ze Shen and the eldest daughter of the Lin family have not been officially engaged, they have already understood each other tacitly."

"Now that the Lin family is growing stronger, if the eldest daughter of the Lin family marries into the Qi family again, I'm afraid the Lin family will have concerns."

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi was secretly anxious.

She had long heard the discussions in the capital. After the Qi family lost their title, although Qi Zeshen was outstanding in talent and appearance, he seemed no longer to be so suitable compared with the now prosperous Lin family.

She knew very well that if the Lin family really had concerns and rejected the marriage, they would have no choice but to accept it.

"Master, what do you mean?" Mrs. Qi asked tentatively.

Qi Sijun pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "Madam, you should go to the Lin family in person with gifts and discuss this matter with Madam Lin. If the Lin family is willing to marry their daughter, the Qi family will naturally not treat the eldest daughter unfairly; but if they are dissatisfied and do not want to marry, then this marriage will have to be abandoned."

Mrs. Qi's heart sank slightly. Although she had a premonition, she still felt a little sad when she heard her husband say it himself.

"Master, I understand. Tomorrow morning, I will take some gifts and go to the Lin family to have a good talk with Madam Lin."

The next morning, Mrs. Qi came to the Lin family with gifts and trepidation.

In the hall, Lotus Sun was already waiting.

As soon as Mrs. Qi stepped in, she was infected by her dignified temperament.

She smiled slightly, stepped forward and saluted with a little restraint: "Madam, I am sorry for coming to your house today."

Sun Rong smiled slightly, and gestured to Madam Qi to sit down. Her expression was calm and gentle. "Madam Qi, there is no need to be so polite. I wonder what you are here for today?"

Madam Qi took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, smoothed her sleeves gently, then took the gift box from the servant and handed it to Sun Rong herself.

She said sincerely, "Today, I brought some gifts to make amends to the Lin family and the eldest girl for the previous incident at the Qi family. The Qi family incident was too serious and affected this marriage. I feel very uneasy, so I came here to discuss it with the lady and the eldest girl."

Sun Rong looked calm as she took the gift box and gently placed it aside. She looked at Madam Qi with gentle eyes. Although she was somewhat touched by the changes in the Qi family, her face remained calm.

Seeing this, Sun Rong nodded slightly, and said with a gentle tone: "Madam Qi, you are welcome."

"We have also seen the relationship between Master Qi and Ruoxue. A marriage is such a big thing that cannot be decided lightly, so we hope to find the most appropriate solution if you come to discuss it today."

When Madam Qi heard what Sun Rong said, her heart tightened.

She was worried that the Lin family would reject the marriage, so she hurriedly said, "Madam, the current situation of the Qi family is indeed not as good as before. If the Lin family thinks this marriage is not suitable, our Qi family will never force it. We only hope that the two families can get along."

Sun Rong immediately laughed: "Mrs. Qi misunderstood what I meant."

Mrs. Qi looked at her in confusion.

Sun Rong added, "In my opinion, family background is secondary. The opinions of the two children are the most important."

"You also know that my eldest sister has been married before. After that, we respected her opinion very much. Since we are discussing her marriage, let her decide for herself."
