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

Lin Ruoxue also nodded: "Yes, your parents are still alive, and there is no pressure from your family to force you to get married, so why are you in such a hurry? Besides, even if you get married and don't marry well, won't we sisters still have to cover for you?"

Lin Ruoqiao blushed a little after hearing what her two sisters said, and smiled shyly: "Okay, I get it. I promise you, I will never act rashly because of haste. I will choose carefully and will definitely not let you worry."

Lin Ruoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, took Lin Ruoqiao's hand, and said with a smile: "That's right! Come, let's listen to music, drink tea, and talk about interesting things. As long as we sisters are together, life is always beautiful."

The music was melodious and the air was filled with the aroma of tea.

Lin Ruoxue suddenly thought of something and asked, "Ruoxuan, after Princess Lin came back to Gu's house, was the Gu Mansion very lively? Princess Lin is the daughter of the second wife, so you must be more careful over there."

Lin Ruoxuan was stunned, then smiled: "Big sister, it's not that serious. Although Princess Lin lives at home, everyone is very well behaved, and I don't feel any pressure. The Gu family still takes good care of me, you don't have to worry."

Lin Ruoxue pondered for a moment, then spoke hesitantly, "But I heard that Yu from the Sixth House made things difficult for you. She also went to Princess Lin to stir up trouble, and even went to the old lady. This matter has spread like wildfire, and people outside are saying that the Gu family is dissatisfied with you because of her... What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoqiao angrily slammed the table and said, "Is this even possible? Ruoxuan, did she bully you? Don't be afraid, our Lin family is not easy to mess with. If you get hurt, tell me and Big Sister, and we will definitely seek justice for you!"

Lin Ruoxuan felt warm at heart after listening to her two sisters' words. She shook her head gently and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry. I told you, the Gu family treats me very well. How could they blame me for Yu's matter? Yu is just a fool. She shot herself in the foot. I didn't suffer any loss at all. Instead, I made her suffer a great loss."

Lin Ruoxue frowned, her tone full of concern: "But it's spreading so widely outside, I'm afraid it will bring bad reputation to you."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled confidently, with a look of determination in her eyes: "Don't worry, big sister, I am not a pushover. Whether it is Princess Lin or anyone else in the Gu family, if anyone wants to bully me, I will not let them succeed. What's more, Princess Lin is very polite to me now. She has seen Yu's stupid appearance, and I am afraid she has long looked down on the Sixth House."

Lin Ruoqiao was still somewhat dissatisfied: "Even so, people like Yu are too annoying! Sooner or later, she will have to learn a lesson."

Lin Ruoxuan patted Lin Ruoqiao's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, this kind of trivial matter is not worth taking to heart. We are gathered together today to have fun, not to talk about these troublesome things. I can handle the Gu family's affairs myself, you just need to be at ease."

Lin Ruoxue looked at her and was relieved to see that she looked calm and confident. She nodded, "Since you said so, I believe you. But Ruoxuan, if you need any help, don't do it by yourself. Remember to tell us."

"Of course I won't hide it from you." Lin Ruoxuan responded gently, with a reassuring smile on her lips.

When the song ended, the sky outside was already tinged with a light sunset glow.

Lin Ruoxue stretched and chuckled, "The song is nice, but it's a pity that time always passes too quickly."

Lin Ruoqiao took over the conversation mischievously: "Big sister, this is because you are too busy. Why don't you spend more time with us, and time will pass more slowly."

Lin Ruoxue shook her head and laughed: "You, always say these nonsense."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Ruoxuan and said softly, "Ruoxuan, today's gathering is really rare. Next time if you are free, please remember to greet us."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you are free, I will accompany you anytime."

The three of them said goodbye to each other, got on their own carriages, and started their journey home.

As soon as Lin Ruoxuan stepped into the Gu family's courtyard, she saw the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo hurriedly coming from the corridor with a look of anxiety on her face.

"Ruoxuan, come with me quickly." Lady Zhenguo said as she reached out and held Lin Ruoxuan's hand.

Lin Ruoxuan was slightly startled, somewhat confused: "Mother, where are we going?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo patted her hand and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious. My elder sister from my mother's family has something to ask me, so she sent someone to inform me. I thought it would be good for you to meet her, and you can help me with some advice, so I took you to visit the Wang family."

Although she still didn't quite understand the reason, Lin Ruoxuan knew it was inappropriate to ask too much, so she obediently replied, "Okay, I'll go with my mother now."

The carriage was moving very smoothly. Lady Zhenguo was sitting on a cushion and slightly turned to look at Lin Ruoxuan. Seeing that she looked a little nervous, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Ruoxuan, don't be so reserved. It's just a matter between family relatives. It has nothing to do with you."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyes slightly and asked softly, "Mother, since this is about your sister from your natal family, can you tell me a little bit in advance? That way I can have an idea in mind."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo sighed and shook her head, saying, "I don't know what it is either, but she sent someone to tell me that she must see me. I will know when I get to the Wang family."

At the gate of Wang’s house, as soon as the Gu family’s carriage stopped, Mrs. Wang rushed over.

She looked panicked and her eyes were red. She had cried many times before. When she saw the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo get off the car, Mrs. Wang grabbed her hand and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Sister, you are here at last! Qing'er is in trouble, please save Qing'er!" Mrs. Wang's voice was hoarse and her tone was full of despair.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned, held Mrs. Wang's hand, and comforted her: "Sister, don't be anxious, sit down and rest first, and tell me slowly, what happened to Qing'er?"

"I..." Mrs. Wang was choked with sobs and could only wipe away her tears.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo motioned to Lin Ruoxuan behind her to support Madam Wang, and at the same time turned to look at Nanny Wang standing beside her: "You have always been with my sister, so you know the whole story. You can tell us."

Nanny Wang looked solemn. After bowing to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, she whispered, "Madam, the situation is urgent right now. If it is convenient, why not get in the carriage and talk while walking? It won't waste time."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

The carriage slowly drove towards the Zhu family in Wenshui Lane, and the atmosphere in the carriage was unusually solemn.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and Lin Ruoxuan sat on one side.

Nanny Wang sat opposite, and in a low but hurried voice, she recounted the whole story one by one: "Madam, the second young lady is already nine months pregnant, and will soon give birth. Madam has arranged for a midwife, a doctor, and even the maids to serve her. But since the day before yesterday, Madam Wang has not received any reports from the maids."
