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

Mrs. Ou was a widow raising a child. Her early years were not easy. In order not to be bullied, she practiced her eloquence and articulation. Now she is even more eloquent and never loses out.

She looked at Lin Ruoxuan provocatively, with smugness in her eyes, and crossed her hands in front of her as she advised.

"I wonder if the Eighth Miss's words can be spread out, and whether the Lin family's engagement with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion can be preserved. How can Young Master Gu want a jealous woman like you?"

"Whether you want it or not, don't worry about it."

Lin Ruoxuan said nonchalantly, raised her hand to tuck her silky black hair behind her ears, and the bracelet on her wrist caught everyone's eye.

"Isn't that the heirloom jade bracelet of the Gu family in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion?"

"Yes, it is said that the bracelet is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Seeing it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation. The top-grade emerald is truly a rare treasure."

"Uncle, I think the leading servant looks like Qingji who was beside Master Gu."

Listening to the Lin family elders whispering to each other, the Ou family elders felt very uncomfortable. It was winter, but they were already sweating profusely.

Not to mention the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, even if the Lin family put pressure on them, they would not be able to resist, not to mention that the Ou family was not in the right in this matter.

The head of the Ou family stood up and looked at Ou He. "Brother He, the whole story is very clear. If you insist on taking the daughter of a guilty minister as your concubine, you should divorce the Lin family. It will not make the two families enemies because of a marriage. It will not be worth it."

"That's right, that's right, the clan leader is right."

"Brother He, divorce is the best outcome. If the Lin family reports this to the police, it will be detrimental to your future."

Other elders echoed the advice.

Ou He frowned and said unhappily, "You are actually turning your elbows outward. You are nothing more than eyeing the power of the Lin family. You are a bunch of old guys who are greedy for money and have no morals or conduct."

"Brother He, be careful with your words and actions." The one who started the scolding was Ou He's uncle Ou Jingcai. He knew very well that he must not offend the Lin family. In the future, the Ou family and even Ou He would need the support of the Lin family, so it would not be easy to fall out.

However, Ou He was blinded by Qin Niang, and he relied on his talent and did not take the Lin family seriously.

He angrily waved his sleeves and sat down, saying sarcastically, "If the Lin family insists on a peaceful divorce, Lin Ruoxue can only get a divorce letter from me and become an abandoned wife, or bind her head and go to the mountains to become a nun, accompany the Buddha, and spend the rest of her life in seclusion."

"You... are so shameless." Sun Rong was so angry that she cursed.

"You really don't want to divorce and just want to divorce your wife?" Lin Ruoxuan smiled, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Seeing Ou He nod seriously, Lin Ruoxuan shook her head helplessly and said lightly, "Ou He, I gave you a chance, but it's a pity that you are useless."

Ou Heteng stood up suddenly, his hands shaking as he pointed at her in anger, "You have no respect for your elders and speak wildly. You should kneel for five full hours as punishment."

"You are not worthy of calling yourself my elder." Lin Ruoxuan clapped her hands and looked towards the door. "Bring him in."

The adult and three children were brought before the crowd by servants.

The servant followed Lin Ruoxuan's instructions and took the rag out of the third child's mouth. Immediately, the yard was filled with crying.

"Father, save mother, save us."

"Father...I want my father."

"Hug, daddy, hug me, Lin'er wants daddy to hug him..."

The three children rushed to Ou He at the same time. The oldest child looked to be about five or six years old. Even Qin Niang looked at Ou He with tears in her eyes. Her delicate appearance made Ou He feel pity for her.

Without waiting for Ou He to ask for accountability, the leading servant Qingxiang bowed to Lin Ruoxuan.

"Young Master has something to tell Miss Lin Ba. Say what you want to say and do what you want to do. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will fully support you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Ou mother and son, who had been so high-spirited and confident, immediately lost their arrogance.

That’s the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion!

Young Master Gu, who is engaged to Lin Ruoxuan, is the only son of Duke Zhenguo. He is also a well-known war god of the Great Jin Kingdom and commands a large army.

The Duke of Zhenguo is a veteran of three dynasties. The wife of the Duke is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Qi in Qingxi, and has a respected status. The eldest daughter of the Qi family is the current empress dowager, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo married the brother-in-law of the current emperor, and the second daughter married the prime minister's legitimate son.

The entire Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is deeply favored and has a very important position.

Young Master Gu openly supports Lin Ruoxuan, so even if the Ou family is extremely bold, they dare not offend the Gu family.

Lin Ruoxuan was full of confidence, and even spoke in a higher voice, "Young Master Ou has no legal wife but has illegitimate children. This is a fraudulent marriage, and he is unwilling to divorce."

She looked at Lin Shiyuan and said respectfully, "Father, please write a petition, beat the drum, and file a complaint with the emperor."

After these words came out, the elders of the Ou family could no longer sit still. The patriarch smiled and apologized, "Master Lin, please calm down, it's not worth it to go to court for a bitch."

"All you want is a divorce. Give me half an incense stick of time, and I will make He Ge'er write the divorce letter honestly."

After saying this, the head of the Ou family dragged Ou He away. Seeing this, the other elders hurriedly followed.

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes dimmed. Things had come to this point, and the Ou family had no choice but to divorce. Ou He was like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump up again.

Divorce is a foregone conclusion.

Only then did she make some time to look at Lin Ruoxue excitedly, then she walked over quickly and hugged her in her arms.

"big sister."

Fortunately... there's still time for everything.

In the previous life, the eldest sister had also tried to divorce, and could have escaped from this den of tigers and wolves. However, her father was seduced by Liu Xiaoniang, who said that as a legitimate daughter, she enjoyed the family's wealth and status, so she had to consider the family's dignity. She even threatened the eldest sister by saying that her marriage to the Duke of Zhenguo was imminent.

For the sake of Lin family's reputation and Lin's younger sister's future, the elder sister never mentioned divorce again. She was also humble and patient in the Ou family.

Not only did he fail to gain kindness from the Ou family, but he was tortured to death by Ou He.

In order to cover up the evidence, Ou He and his mother set fire to the yard, burning them and their half-year-old nephew to death.

The mother fell ill due to missing her daughter. Her health was seriously depleted and she had to drink medicine all day to survive. She was unable to manage the household. Liu Xiaoniang took the opportunity to take charge of the household affairs.

In order to prevent her from marrying up, she was forced to marry the Duke of Zhenguo on the pretext that she had to observe mourning for her deceased sister. She also whispered in her father's ears and used the same methods on her that she had used on her elder sister.

Her father canceled the marriage proposal from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and earned a reputation as a family that was not afraid of power and was a clean and honest family. He also let her marry his student, Deng Changcheng, as his legitimate daughter.

For the sake of her mother and fourth brother, she had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

But Deng Changcheng was a vile and scoundrel who would beat and scold her at every turn. Eventually, he accidentally beat her to death while drunk.

After her death, she found out that Deng Changcheng did not kill her accidentally, but had been having an affair with her third sister Lin Ruoxi. The two of them conspired to kill her. In order to avenge her, her fourth brother killed Deng Changcheng with his own hands.

Eventually he was exiled.

Suddenly, she received the tragic news that all her children were gone. The mother spat out a mouthful of blood and her health deteriorated day by day. Only half a month later, she passed away.

From then on, Liu Xiaoniang was promoted to the position of the principal wife, and her illegitimate sons and daughters all became the most valuable eldest sons and daughters of the Lin family.

And their room seemed to have never appeared before...

She was deeply immersed in the memories, unable to extricate herself from the pain. Her eyes were bloodshot and her look was fierce. She wished she could tear those heartless people to pieces.

"Xuan'er, let go of your elder sister quickly and don't hurt the baby in her belly."

Sun Rong hurried forward, fearing that Lin Ruoxuan would hurt Lin Ruoxue in her impulse.

They were all born after she carried them for ten months in her womb, and she has a lot of flesh and blood on her hands. She wants her children to live a good life more than anyone else, but unfortunately, not everything goes as she wishes.

Lin Ruoxuan quickly let go, looked up and down at her elder sister who was safe and sound, and cried with joy.

"Silly sister, why are you crying for no reason?" Lin Ruoxue said with disgust, but a warm feeling surged in her heart. She reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face.

"Okay, all is good." Lin Ruoxuan was very excited and sighed, "I can't just be happy, I have to get down to business."

She winked at Luqiao and said, "Action."

"Okay." Luqiao took out a dowry list from her waist like a magician, and waved to the maid who had been waiting at the door for a long time, "Mother Wan, lead the way quickly. Let's collect the eldest girl's dowry before daybreak, so that it won't be stolen by someone with ulterior motives."

Mother Wan was originally Sun Rong's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. Sun Rong was afraid that her daughter was young and didn't understand the intricacies of the inner house, so she asked Mother Wan to follow her.

During the five years, Ou He used various excuses to replace all the maids around Lin Ruoxue, but because of the high status of Mother Wan, Ou He did not dare to move.

Now, with Mother Wan here, getting the dowry back is a lot easier.
