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

Lin Ruoxuan nodded solemnly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Father, don't worry, I won't let the Lin family get into trouble. As for the Song family, they did something wrong and they should pay the price."

Lin Shiyuan patted her shoulder gently, turned around and left.

Afterwards, Lin Shiyuan left Lin Ruoqiao's yard and went to find Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen.

In the study, Lin Shiyuan said to his two future sons-in-law, "I hope you can take good care of Ruoxuan and Ruoxue for me. If you become my sons-in-law in the future, no matter what happens, you must not abandon them."

Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen looked at each other.

Qi Zeshen was the first to answer: "Uncle Lin, please rest assured. I am sincere to Ruoxue and will never let her down."

Gu Nanyuan also said solemnly: "Uncle, my feelings for Xuan'er have never wavered. No matter what happens, I will face everything with her."

Lin Shiyuan nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "With your promise, I feel relieved."

The atmosphere in the room gradually relaxed, and the atmosphere between the three people became much more harmonious.

On the other hand, Princess Ren went to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in person.

Lord Jingzhao Yin had already been waiting in the mansion, looking extremely reserved.

When he saw Princess Ren walk into the hall, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and said respectfully, "Princess, you are here. I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person."

Princess Ren gently waved her hand, smiling and speaking appropriately: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite. I came here today just to understand the cases of Miss Wu and Miss Song, and to plead for the Wu family. If it can be handled as soon as possible, it will be good for all three families."

Lord Jingzhao Yin felt a tightness in his heart, knowing that today's matter was not simple.

He coughed lightly, organized his words, and said carefully: "What the princess said is very true. However, Miss Wu's matter is easier to deal with. The case she was involved in is relatively minor, and the evidence of spreading rumors is also conclusive. If the Wu family is willing to compensate the Lin family for some mental damages, the matter can be settled."

"However, Miss Song's case is much more complicated. Miss Song committed a crime in public and there were many witnesses. The Lin family was determined not to reconcile, so we can only deal with it according to the law."

When Princess Ren heard this, her brows slightly frowned, but she still maintained a dignified smile on her face.

She sighed softly and said slowly, "Since Miss Song has done something wrong, she should accept the punishment of the law. I have no intention of exonerating her from this. It is natural that debts should be paid back and murders should be paid with one's life."

After hearing this, Lord Jingzhao Yin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At this time, Princess Ren slowly spoke: "However, Miss Wu was just instigated by someone, so it is better to take her away first to avoid innocent people being implicated. As for compensation, I will prepare 10,000 taels of mental damages for the Wu family, and in a few days, I will have Master Wu personally come to the Lin family to apologize, and I need you to accompany us."

After hearing this, Lord Jingzhao Yin thought to himself and realized that Princess Ren wanted to save the Wu family first.

As for Song Yuqing, she chose to "handle the case according to the law," which was undoubtedly a fair gesture to avoid being accused of favoritism.

Jingzhao Yin knew the truth and did not dare to refute. He nodded and said, "Princess, you are wise. I will handle this matter according to your instructions."

Princess Ren chuckled and left the Jingzhao Yin Mansion with a calm demeanor.

Her figure gradually disappeared in the distance, and Lord Jingzhao Yin breathed a sigh of relief. The sweat on his forehead had already wet his collar.

He sighed softly, "I'm afraid this matter is not over yet."

The Wu family was naturally grateful to Princess Ren for coming forward.

When Wu Qingfu was brought home by the nanny accompanying Princess Ren, the old lady of the Wu family had tears in her eyes and thanked Princess Ren profusely.

The nanny conveyed Princess Ren's intentions again: "The princess said that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. In a few days, Lord Jingzhao will accompany Mr. Wu to the Lin family to apologize and give them 10,000 taels of silver for their mental damages. Then the matter will be settled."

Madam Wu nodded in agreement: "Of course that's no problem, we will definitely prepare it early."

Then he gave the nanny some silver and sent the person away.

When only her family members were left, Old Madam Wu held Wu Qingfu's hand tightly and kept comforting him.

Madam Wu quickly asked the servants to prepare supplements and invited Wu Qingfu to go into the room to rest. She cursed as she walked away, "This Miss Lin is too cruel. Our Qingfu was forced to this extent just because she said a few words casually."

Master Wu frowned and said, "Well, it's over. The princess came forward to rescue us, which is a great favor. Now, we have to think carefully about how to deal with the Lin family."

Although Wu Qingfu was rescued, he did not feel grateful, but instead was filled with anger.

She lay on the bed, secretly swearing in her heart that she must find an opportunity to take revenge on Lin Ruoxuan and regain her face.

Lord Jingzhao Yin and Lord Wu came to the Lin family, accompanied by servants from the Wu family, holding thick stacks of silver bills in their hands.

Lin Ruoxuan stood in the main hall with a calm expression, as if she already knew everything.

Jingzhao Yin coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, the matter committed by Miss Wu has been dealt with this time. The princess, considering the friendship between the two families, did not want the matter to get out of hand, so she made this mediation. Here is the banknote, which is just a compensation to the Lin family. Please do not pursue it."

Lord Wu stood aside, ashamed, but helpless, and could only whisper in agreement: "Yes, Lord Lin, this time it is my daughter's fault, I am really sorry, but fortunately the matter can be resolved, I hope the Lin family will show mercy."

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lord Wu quietly, a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes, but she did not say much.

Everyone knows that the reason why the Wu family is so humble today is not because of true repentance, but because of the pressure from Princess Ren.

Lin Shiyuan frowned slightly. Although he was unhappy, things had come to this point. Any further entanglement would be disadvantageous to the Lin family.

He bowed to Lord Jingzhao Yin and Lord Wu and said, "My Lin family will naturally sell the favor of the princess. Since this matter has been regarded as a joke between children, I will not pursue it any more."

Upon hearing this, Lord Jingzhao Yin heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Lord Lin is indeed very reasonable. Today, this matter ends here. I hope that the two families will live in harmony from now on and no longer have disputes."

Lin Shiyuan nodded, took the ten thousand taels of silver note, and said nothing more.

Lord Wu and Lord Jingzhao Yin said goodbye one after another and hurried away with their servants.

After the two left, Lin Shiyuan handed the banknote to Lin Ruoqiao: "This banknote is what you deserve. It is a little compensation from the Wu family. Use it to subsidize your expenses."

Lin Ruoqiao took the banknote, her hands trembling slightly and tears welling up in her eyes, but she did not cry out loud.

She looked down at the thick stack of banknotes, feeling mixed emotions.
