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

Lin Ruoxuan put down the teacup, raised her eyes and looked at her elder sister, smiling gently: "Don't worry, I'll take care of your affairs. If you want to listen to music or watch a play, let's pick a few good places. Also, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll ask Hongya to arrange it in advance."

Lin Ruoxue looked at Lin Ruoxuan gratefully, with a more relaxed smile on her face: "Then I won't be polite. By the way, there is one more thing. The Zhang family will come to our house in two days to propose marriage. My parents hope that we can all go back. Firstly, to support Ruoqiao, and secondly, to show that they value us."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded and said seriously: "If Nanyuan is not busy, we will naturally go back together. If he is busy with official business, I can represent our Gu family alone and will never let anyone look down on the Lin family."

Qi Zeshen nodded slightly, and his expression relaxed a little: "That's the best, but I still hope Nanyuan can go back with you. His status is there, and the Zhang family will pay more attention to him."

"I understand," Lin Ruoxuan chuckled, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. None of us dare to neglect Seventh Sister's wedding. As long as we can spare the time, Nanyuan will definitely go."

Afterwards, Lin Ruoxue mentioned Lin Yuxi again.

Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said in a puzzled tone: "She wants to marry the third son of the second branch of the Qi family? He is a well-known playboy who hangs out in red-light districts every day. I don't know what the Lin family is thinking, to actually push their daughter into the fire pit."

Lin Ruoxue sighed: "I heard about it too, I don't know if it's true or not. However, Lin Yuxi and her family have always been unpredictable. Maybe they are not after the character of the people, but the family background of the Qi family."

"So, does Lin Yuxi's family have any connection with our Lin family?" Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly, thoughts surging in her mind, "Although both families have the surname Lin, I have never heard my father mention any contact with them. Otherwise, let's go back and ask father for clarification? If I really marry the third son of Qi in the future, the relationship between our Lin family and the Qi family will be involved with them, and there will inevitably be misunderstandings."

Lin Ruoxue nodded seriously and agreed with the suggestion: "That makes sense. However, Ruoxuan, you have to be careful. Lin Yuxi's family is not easy to deal with."

When Lin Yuxi's family was mentioned, Lin Ruoxuan's eyes instantly turned colder, and she snorted softly, "Don't mention it. They said they came to Beijing to celebrate Old Madam Lin's birthday, but now the whole family is staying at Gu's house and refuses to leave. I don't care about these, but their style of doing things really makes people unable to see any sincerity."

Lin Ruoxue frowned slightly when she heard this, feeling vaguely uneasy: "It's fine if they live in Gu's house, but what else could be going on?"

"There are so many things going on," Lin Ruoxuan sneered, her eyes tinged with anger. "A few days ago, Lin Zi used a pair of large scissors to pry open Rourou's cage, which irritated it and hurt a lot of people. In the end, he even blamed Rourou, saying that it was crazy and asked the servants of the Gu family to kill it."

When Lin Ruoxue heard this, her face suddenly darkened: "This is too much! You raised Rourou by yourself, and she is so gentle, it is impossible for her to hurt others for no reason. It was clearly Lin Zi who provoked her first."

"So, of course I won't let Rourou suffer any injustice." Lin Ruoxuan's voice was calm, but with unquestionable firmness, "But because of this, I don't want to provoke Lin Yuxi's family even more. If they really marry into the second branch of the Qi family, we should stay away from them in the future to avoid being involved in any mess."

Lin Ruoxue nodded in agreement, with a thoughtful look on her face: "It's best not to deal with people like this if you can. Ruoxuan, you should be more careful. I see that they are so comfortable staying in the Gu family, and I'm afraid they have been scheming against you."

Lin Ruoxuan chuckled, her eyes were full of indifference: "Plotting against me? That depends on whether they have the ability to do so. Okay, big sister, let's go home and ask father first."

After returning to the Lin family, Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue were called to the study by Lin Shiyuan.

Lin Ruoxuan spoke first: "Father, my sister and I are a little confused about Lin Yuxi's family. Are they related to our Lin family? I have heard a few people mention it, but I am still not sure."

Lin Shiyuan put down the teacup in his hand and frowned slightly: "Yes, there is, but we are already five generations apart. Strictly speaking, we are at most distant relatives, and we don't have much contact on a daily basis."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but ask, "What's your father's impression of their family? I heard that they act quite casually, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Lin Shiyuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold tone, "Don't mention it. Their family tradition has always been bad. In the past, Lin Yuxi's father did a lot of things that were against the will of heaven and earth in order to fight for the family property. I avoid people like this as much as possible, and I have always told your mother not to have anything to do with their family."

Lin Ruoxuan pondered for a moment, with some worry in her tone: "Father, this may not be easy. They are staying at the Gu family this time, nominally to celebrate Old Madam Lin's birthday, but it seems that they plan to stay for a long time. More importantly, Lin Yuxi seems to have some distant relationship with the Gu family."

Hearing this, Lin Shiyuan's face became even gloomier. "They are also distant relatives of the Gu family? So, this family really only seeks to get close to profitable families. I knew they had no good intentions."

Lin Ruoxue interrupted at the right time and said tentatively: "Father, if they are really deeply involved with the Gu family, should we take some precautions?"

Lin Shiyuan snorted lightly, his eyes stern: "You two sisters, remember, avoid this family if you can. They act recklessly and have no bottom line. If you get involved with such people, you will get into trouble sooner or later. Especially you, Ruoxuan, you are now the wife of the Gu family's eldest son, so you must be extra careful and don't let anyone catch you."

"Father, I understand." Lin Ruoxuan nodded, her tone firm, "However, this time I'm afraid it was Lin Yuxi who provoked me. The incident when Lin Zi pried open Rourou's cage was the result of Lin Yuxi's family not disciplining their children. Don't worry, I will try my best to avoid direct conflict with them, but I will never let them do whatever they want."

Lin Shiyuan sighed, feeling helpless: "It's good that you know this, but you also have to understand that it's not worth it to argue with such a person, which is both a waste of energy and a loss of face. Ruoxuan, always put the overall situation first."

Lin Ruoxue leaned back in her chair, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "Lin Yuxi is related to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and is also planning to form an alliance with the second branch of the Qi family. I'm afraid we sisters can't escape this time. Regardless of whether she is coming for us or not, she can't avoid our lives after all."

Lin Ruoxuan sighed, her eyes fixed on the yellowing sycamore leaves outside the window: "Big sister, you are right. Since we can't avoid it, we can only find a way to deal with it. However, some things seem unsolvable, but there will always be a turning point."
