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

The next morning, Mrs. Wu asked to see Lin's family in front of their gate.

The servants of the Lin family had already passed the message to Lin Ruoxuan, saying that Madam Wu came in person and only wanted to see her.

Lin Ruoxuan knew in her heart that Madam Wu must have come here because of Wu Qingfu's matter, and she was probably planning to negotiate terms.

She sat in the hall with a calm expression, but she was mentally prepared to deal with Mrs. Wu's intentions.

The footsteps were getting closer, and Mrs. Wu, led by her maid, slowly walked into the hall.

Her figure was a little thin, and there was deep sorrow in her eyes, but she could not hide her anxiety.

"Miss Lin," Mrs. Wu walked forward eagerly when she saw Lin Ruoxuan, her tone pleading, "I came here today to ask for something."

Lin Ruoxuan stood up and nodded slightly, her attitude polite but not cold: "Madam Wu, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

Mrs. Wu's eyes were filled with tears. She suppressed her emotions and her voice was choked with sobs: "Qingfu's death... I can stop pursuing the matter, but I have one request. Please release the other male members of the Wu family. The Wu family has been forced into a desperate situation. If the male members go to jail, the entire Wu family will probably collapse completely."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard her words, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Madam Wu," Lin Ruoxuan smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Do you really think I have the ability to release the Wu family? This case is now being tried in Jingzhao Yinfu, and I don't make the law."

Madam Wu's face changed slightly, she bit her lips tightly, and her voice choked: "Ms. Lin, I know you have the final say in front of the prince. As long as you are willing to help, I believe he will definitely give you a favor..."

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes turned cold, and she interrupted her mercilessly: "Mrs. Wu kept saying that she would no longer pursue Wu Qingfu's death, but how did she die? Mrs. Wu should know better than me, right?"

Since Mrs. Wu came to her on her own initiative, Lin Ruoxuan would not miss the opportunity to test her.

She thought about it over and over again, but couldn't understand why Wu Qingfu died suddenly and in such a tragic way.

But when Mrs. Wu came to her today, she understood everything at once.

Whoever can benefit the most from Wu Qingfu's death may be her murderer.

When Mrs. Wu came to discuss terms today, Lin Ruoxuan understood everything immediately.

Mrs. Wu's face suddenly turned pale, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Lin Ruoxuan's words hit her sore spot.

"I...how could I know..." Mrs. Wu burst into tears, covering her face with her hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Qingfu is my biological daughter! How could I accept her death so tragically?"

"But what can I do now? I wish I could die with her, but the Wu family... the Wu family still needs me. If all the men in the Wu family are arrested and thrown into jail, this family will be completely finished!"

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her coldly, her voice still without any warmth: "Madam Wu, your daughter is dead. You want to use her death to exchange for the survival of the Wu family, but have you ever thought about my seventh sister's innocence?"

Mrs. Wu was speechless, tears falling down. She tightly grasped her handkerchief, and her whole body seemed to collapse: "Ms. Lin... But Qingfu is already dead, I... I just want to save the other male members of the Wu family. Please, help me, let the Wu family go! If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come to you to ask you to release the murderer who killed my daughter!"

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her calmly, thinking that she was really pretending.

She stood up slowly, and said firmly: "Madam Wu, my seventh sister and Mr. Song did not kill anyone at all. I will not agree to make any deal with you. I will find evidence to prove their innocence. As for the Wu family, you will bear what you deserve."

After saying that, Lin Ruoxuan turned to look at the attendant beside her and coldly ordered, "Send the guest away."

The servant hurried forward and prepared to help Madam Wu up, but Madam Wu suddenly broke free and shouted out of control, "Are you so hard-hearted? You really don't want to help? Is this the end of the Wu family?"

Lin Ruoxuan had a cold expression on her face and didn't say another word. She watched Madam Wu being helped away by her servants.

In the evening, Luqiao and Hongya came back in a hurry, with a bit of indignation on their faces.

When Lin Ruoxuan saw their expressions, she knew that they must have gained something.

"Girl, we're back," Hongya spoke first, her tone filled with uncontrollable anger, "We've found out everything this time, and you'll definitely be furious after hearing it."

Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly and said softly, "Tell me slowly, there's no rush."

Luqiao stood aside, and after calming down a little, she began to report the news they had heard.

"Miss, we asked the maidservants around the eldest lady, and also secretly asked some servants of the Qi family. The Qi family's main branch did not treat the eldest lady harshly, especially Mr. Qi, who has always been very kind to the eldest lady, and the relationship between the couple is harmonious."

"So what's the problem?" Lin Ruoxuan asked, her tone calm but her eyes already beginning to show sharpness.

Lu Qiao continued, "The problem lies with Old Madam Qi. Last time, Old Madam Qi tried to get Young Master Qi a concubine, but she was rejected. This incident has made the old lady hold a grudge. She thinks that the eldest girl does not know the rules and has brought shame to Young Master Qi."

Hongya interrupted and added, "Two days ago, the Qi family invited the eldest wife to a party. The eldest wife went because she wanted the family to get along harmoniously."

"But the old lady Qi ridiculed the eldest daughter in public. She hinted at the eldest daughter, saying that she should not make the same mistake as in the previous marriage, 'it's not good for a man to take a concubine or a mistress and then divorce.' She also ridiculed the eldest daughter for having had a miscarriage and that it was hard to guarantee that she would be able to have children in the future. What's even more hateful is that she said in front of everyone, 'it's better to find a few concubines as soon as possible, and it would be a happy event for the eldest wife if they all get pregnant together.'"

Lu Qiao was so angry that her face turned red. She continued, "When the old lady said this, the young lady was extremely embarrassed. It was because of the old lady's sarcasm that the young lady had to start looking for candidates and take the initiative to take a concubine to avoid being criticized."

Lin Ruoxuan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Old Madam Qi didn't like Lin Ruoxue, but she didn't expect that she would humiliate her elder sister in public.

What’s even more hateful is that the old lady’s words are not only hurtful, but she is also overtly and covertly forcing the eldest sister to find a concubine for Qi Zeshen.

"This Madam Qi is really going too far!" Lin Ruoxuan's voice was as cold as ice and snow in the winter, and her tone was filled with anger that was hard to conceal.

Luqiao and Hongya were filled with righteous indignation. Hongya said angrily, "Girl, we really want to rush to the Qi family's old house and give that old lady a good lesson! How could she treat a young lady like this!"

Lin Ruoxuan gently raised her hand to stop the two people's excitement, but her eyes were filled with deep coldness: "The old lady is so arrogant, but she relies on her status in the Qi family and no one dares to disobey her. Since she is so idle, it seems that we have to help her find something to do."

Speaking of this, Lin Ruoxuan already had a plan in mind.

She stood up, her eyes sharp, her voice low and firm: "Luqiao, go find Nanyuan, I need to know the private lives of the other masters of the Qi family, especially whether they have mistresses or concubines. The more details the better."
