Lin Ruoxuan didn't say anything extra. She suddenly pulled out a dagger from her waist. With a flash of cold light, she put it directly against Lin Huaixun's neck. Her eyes were as cold as a knife: "You want to die, right? Then I will grant your wish."

Lin Huaixun's face suddenly changed, he swallowed hard, and his voice was full of panic: "Eighth sister, are you crazy? I'm your brother!"

Lin Ruoxuan used a little force with the dagger, causing Lin Huaixun's throat to feel a sharp pain: "Fourth brother? Are you worthy?"

Her voice was low but chilling, "Don't even mention Chen Wan. Even if it's you, I don't care."

"You shamelessly slept with Chen Wan, leaving your parents, brothers and sisters, and the future and honor of your family behind. A bastard like you can't bring honor to the Lin family even if you're alive. Instead, you'll only be a burden."

Lin Huaixun's eyes widened, his throat rolled up and down, but he couldn't utter a word.

Lin Ruoxuan's hands trembled slightly, but her eyes were extremely cold, and tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes: "It seems that I don't understand you well enough, Fourth Brother. You are such a person that for the so-called 'true love', you can even abandon your parents who gave birth to you and your brothers and sisters who protected you."

Her tears fell and dripped onto the dagger, and Lin Huaixun's heart seemed to be stabbed.

He thought of Lin Ruoxuan just now, and how she desperately stood in front of her father and took the whipping for him.

His heart felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Eighth sister, are you okay with your injury?"

Lin Ruoxuan sneered, and the dagger slightly left his throat, but her eyes became even colder: "My injury? Don't bother with it. Fourth brother, don't pretend to be hypocritical in front of me. If you really care, nothing would have happened today."

Lin Huaixun lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were full of struggle and pain: "I..."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't give him a chance to speak, her tone was decisive and cold: "Since you like Chen Wan so much, then I will grant your wish. I will ask my father to open the ancestral temple and write a letter of severance. From now on, you will take Chen Wan and fly far away, and have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore."

"The Lin family needs a legitimate son to support the family, but they don't need threats or waste."

She slowed down her tone and swept her eyes over Lin Huaixun like a knife: "If you feel that you are unable to bear the responsibility of this family, you can just step down and let others take over. There are capable children in the Lin family, and it is not difficult to adopt one to inherit the family business. The glory of the Lin family does not need to be continued by selfish people like you."

When Lin Huaixun heard this, his face turned pale instantly and he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

He clenched his fists, lowered his head and remained silent, trying to hold back something.

After a while, he finally spoke, his voice low and tired: "Eighth sister...you are right. I really can't afford the Lin family's affairs."

He raised his head and said, "I only ask for one thing, that Chen Wan and I can be together."

"Pa!" Lin Ruoqiao slapped Lin Huaixun hard in the face, shaking with anger: "Fourth brother, do you still have any shame? Not only do you like your father's concubine, but you can also speak so confidently! Do you even know how to write the word shame?"

Lin Ruoxue sneered, crossed her arms, and said with a tone full of sarcasm: "Seventh sister, don't expect him to know. How can someone who doesn't even care about his parents have any sense of shame?"

Lin Huaixun's head tilted by the slap, but he did not move, and the expression on his face became more painful.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Ruoqiao stubbornly, but his tone was still firm: "You don't understand, Chen Wan and I are truly in love."

"True love?" Lin Ruoqiao laughed out loud in anger, pointing at Lin Huaixun's nose: "You are too naive! Chen Wan has never loved you, she is just using you to climb up the social ladder. Do you think she is attracted to you as a person? Wrong! She is attracted to your identity as the eldest son of the Lin family!"

Lin Huaixun's expression froze for a moment, but soon became stubborn again: "Impossible! Chen Wan is not that kind of person. The feelings between us are not something you can understand!"

"You..." Lin Ruoqiao was so angry that she was speechless for a moment. She reached out to hit him again, but was stopped by Lin Ruoxuan.

Lin Ruoxuan shook her head and sneered, "Seventh sister, stop fighting. Since he chooses to believe Chen Wan, let him go."

She looked at Lin Huaixun indifferently, with complete disappointment in her eyes, "Fourth brother, the three of us can't persuade you, so it's up to you. Since you think Chen Wan is your true love, go and stay with her."

Lin Ruoxue sneered, her tone full of sarcasm: "True love? Ha, let's see how far your 'true love' can go. I can tell you in advance that we will not clean up any mess for you anymore."

Lin Ruoqiao took a deep breath and said coldly: "Fourth brother, you'd better think it over and don't regret it later."

Lin Huaixun gritted his teeth and watched the three people leave, his eyes full of pain, but he didn't say another word.

Lin Ruoxuan took Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao out of Lin Huaixun's yard. The three of them walked on the corridor leading to Sun Rong's yard. The atmosphere was so heavy that it made people breathless.

Lin Ruoxue's face was filled with anger. She muttered as she walked, "It's so infuriating! I should have beaten him up again to see if he can still say those nonsense!"

Lin Ruoqiao followed closely beside Lin Ruoxuan and whispered, "Big sister, now is not the time to be angry. The house is in such a mess, we have to find a solution as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ruoxuan, who was walking in front, paused, her body swayed, and then she fell backwards.

"Eighth sister!" Lin Ruoqiao was shocked and quickly reached out to support Lin Ruoxuan, but staggered under her weight.

Lin Ruoxue also hurried forward and supported Lin Ruoxuan's other side.

Lin Ruoxuan's face was pale, with fine beads of cold sweat oozing from her forehead, her eyes were closed tightly, and her breathing was rapid.

Lin Ruoxue panicked, her voice trembling with obvious shock: "Eighth sister fainted! Quick, send her back to the front yard!"

The two men hurriedly helped Lin Ruoxuan back to the front yard and placed her on the couch.

Lin Ruoqiao hurriedly ordered: "Hongya, go get the doctor! Also, go inform the prince that the eighth sister has fainted!"

Hongya agreed, turned around and ran away, and the whole front yard was instantly in chaos.

The maids were bringing water, handing handkerchiefs, and the yard was bustling with activity.

Lin Ruoqiao stood beside the couch, holding Lin Ruoxuan's hand tightly, looking anxious: "Big sister, you must hold on!"

Lin Ruoxue stamped her feet anxiously, "What should I do? The house is already in chaos, and my eighth sister has collapsed. What should I do?"

Lin Ruoqiao took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and looked up at Lin Ruoxue: "Big sister, don't worry. I will stay here to take care of my eighth sister. We can't let the house get in chaos anymore. Father is busy dealing with the rumors outside, and someone has to hold up the inner house."
