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

Then Sun Rong asked the nanny to invite Lin Ruoxue over.

Madam Qi only thought of Sun Rong's reasons for rejecting her, and since she couldn't refuse herself, she let the child say it, so that the Lin family would also save face.

She was angry in her heart, but due to the status of the Lin family, she did not leave in anger. She waited for Lin Ruoxue to come with a smile.

After Lin Ruoxue arrived and understood the reason for what happened, her eyes were gentle but firm.

She said slowly: "Mrs. Qi, you don't have to worry too much.

My relationship with Ze Shen has never been based on family background. Lord Qi and Ze Shen have always been upright and have a strict family tradition. What I value is their character, not the title and glory of the Qi family. "

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Qi felt relieved.

She originally thought that this marriage would not be able to continue, but Lin Ruoxue's attitude surprised and relieved her.

She showed a touching smile on her face, with gratitude in her eyes: "Young lady, you are so tolerant and considerate, which is really admirable. Although the situation of the Qi family has changed now, Ze Shen has always been sincere to you, and this will never change."

Lin Ruoxue smiled faintly: "Ze Shen is an upright and reliable person. The changes in the Qi family have not affected my opinion of him."

Sun Rong nodded at the side, with relief in her eyes.

She looked at Madam Qi gently and added, "Madam Qi, Ruoxue has been sensible since she was young. As parents, we will not interfere in emotional matters. Everything is based on the happiness of the children. If she is determined to be with Ze Shen, then the master and I will not stop her."

Mrs. Qi was filled with gratitude, and her originally tense mood instantly eased a lot.

She bowed deeply and said with emotion: "Madam, Miss, the Qi family is so lucky to have someone as tolerant and generous as you. It is an honor for our Qi family that Miss can become our daughter-in-law. Don't worry, I will definitely treat Miss well."

Sun Rong smiled and said, "Madam Qi, our two families have been on good terms for many years, and it's time to settle our children's marriages. Once the Qi family's affairs are settled, we can discuss the specific wedding date."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi hurriedly said, "I will follow Madam's arrangements in everything. I will make good preparations for Ze Shen and Ruoxue's wedding and will not let the eldest lady suffer any grievances."

Lin Ruoxue nodded with a smile and said softly: "Madam, there is no rush for the wedding. We have plenty of time to prepare slowly."

The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed. Mrs. Qi no longer had any grudges in her heart, and her impression of the Lin mother and daughter also changed greatly.

Lin Ruoxuan also heard about this matter. She admired Lin Ruoxue's choice very much and was naturally happy for the two of them.

But besides being happy, there is also one worrying thing.

That is, Zhao Cezhi actually wrote her a letter.

When Lin Ruoxuan first received the letter, she was stunned for a moment and asked Lu Qiao: "Zhao Cezhi wrote to me? Are you sure the letter was not sent to the wrong person?"

Zhao Cezhi should have written a letter to Lin Ruoting, which made Lin Ruoxuan confused.

Luqiao shook her head: "Miss, it was not sent to the wrong place, it was sent to our yard."

Lin Ruoxuan read the letter with suspicion.

In the letter, Zhao Cezhi earnestly mentioned the urgent information related to Gu Nanyuan and wanted to ask her out for a meeting.

If it were someone else, they might have doubts in their hearts, but Lin Ruoxuan knew that Zhao Cezhi was not a good person, and this letter was just a trap designed by him.

"Does he think that I would be stupid enough to fall into his trap?" Lin Ruoxuan chuckled and threw the letter casually on the table, not caring at all.

Luqiao came in with a tea tray, looked at the letter, and frowned slightly: "Miss, it seems that Lord Zhao has put a lot of effort into it. He can even come up with such an excuse."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled faintly, took the teacup, and took a sip of tea: "He underestimated me. Now that he is getting closer to the Third Prince, he is more eager to find out about Nan Yuan's movements, hoping to get some information from me. Unfortunately, he is not qualified."

She was too lazy to respond to Zhao Cezhi and just put the matter behind her.

But two days later, when Lin Ruoxuan was idle in the yard, she saw Madam Cong hurried in, looking a little nervous: "Miss, there is news outside. Lord Zhao brought the sixth lady here, saying that they are here to visit the master, and they also brought a lot of gifts."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Oh? Zhao Cezhi came in person?"

Mother Cong nodded and added in a low voice: "They not only brought gifts for the master, but also for the old lady, the lady, and the young ladies. It seems that they are very polite."

Lin Ruoxuan sneered and stood up, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Zhao Cezhi and Lin Ruoting are so scheming that they actually use this method to approach our family openly."

A cold light flashed in her eyes: "Since they are trying so hard, I want to see what they want to do."

The atmosphere in the Lin family's front hall was subtle.

Lin Shiyuan sat at the top, with a barely perceptible embarrassment on his face.

Since Zhao Cezhi brought gifts for everyone, it was natural for the girls to come out and receive the gifts in person. Therefore, Lin Shiyuan called Lin Ruoxuan and others to the front hall.

Lin Shiyuan was a man who paid attention to etiquette. Although he was on guard, he still believed that "guests are welcome" and said, "Since Mr. Zhao and Ting'er have sent gifts, you sisters should also consider their intentions. The gift may be small, but the sentiment is great."

Lin Ruoxuan and several sisters looked at each other and didn't want to pay attention to the two of them.

But since their father had spoken, the sisters had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Cezhi's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he smiled and added, "Master Lin is right. Although the gifts we gave are not expensive, they are all carefully selected. If the girls are not satisfied, you can ask us to change them. After all, we want you to like them."

Lin Ruoting smiled gently and continued, "Yes, sisters, you don't have to be polite. We are all family, so naturally we have to make you like us."

Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly, already alert in her heart.

If it weren't for the previous letter delivery incident, she might have thought it was just a simple visit to relatives.

But now, Lin Ruoxuan vaguely felt in her heart that Zhao Cezhi’s target this time was her.

Lin Ruoxuan caught a glimpse of the exquisite gift box from the corner of her eye, and an irresistible chill suddenly arose in her heart.

She had already prepared herself mentally, but the moment she saw the box of longan, her heart felt as if it was torn apart. Memories flooded back, as if pulling her back to that painful past.

In her previous life, Lin Ruoting tricked her into eating longan on the grounds of "replenishing blood and nourishing the body", which resulted in her miscarriage. She was completely unprepared at that time.

At this moment, seeing this familiar longan, Lin Ruoxuan's heart was in turmoil and a feeling of nausea rose in her throat.

She suppressed her physical discomfort, kept her expression unchanged, and tried hard to hide her inner collapse.

She could only pretend that nothing had happened, because she could not reveal the slightest flaw and could not let Zhao Cezhi succeed.
