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

Lin Ruoxuan's voice was a little deep. Having been in contact with the Zhao family for her entire life in her previous life, she naturally knew how selfish and cold-hearted the Zhao family were behind their backs.

If they didn't have bigger ambitions, they would have sent the thousand-year-old snow lotus to the Gu family long ago.

When Lin Ruoqiao heard her reminder, she immediately understood the key.

"In fact, I am not worried about how ambitious and greedy the Zhao family is. What I am worried about is that the Zhao family will not want to hand over the thousand-year-old snow lotus to the Gu family."

"As long as the Zhao family is unwilling, as long as Zhao Xiaozhi of the Zhao family is unwilling, I'm afraid that even if Mr. Song goes, it will be useless."

Lin Ruoqiao understood that Lin Ruoxuan wanted her to go to the Zhao family to find out the specific information.

"Don't worry, I will do it well."

Although she didn't quite understand what Lin Ruoxuan said, she would never forget what Lin Ruoxuan had told her.

Lin Ruoxuan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Lin Ruoqiao agree.

In his previous life, Zhao Xiaozhi had not met Lin Ruoqiao at this time, and neither had he in this life.

On the contrary, it would be safer to let Lin Ruoqiao go with Song Zhennan, and there would be no need to worry about Zhao Xiaozhi having any bad intentions.

When Lin Ruoqiao and Song Zhennan went to Zhao's house, they actually successfully met Zhao Xiaozhi.

But for some reason, when Song Zhennan saw the person in front of him, he always felt that something was wrong, an indescribable sense of incongruity.

It's not like he had never seen Zhao Xiaozhi before. At that time, Zhao Xiaozhi was a little timid. Although his family had some wealth, he had just moved to the capital and did not have much foundation.

But the person in front of him now gave him a different feeling from before, even with a hint of coldness.

Song Zhennan frowned. Could it be that he had misjudged someone before?

This perception made Song Zhennan shake his head. He was absolutely wrong. He rarely misjudged people.

Since he couldn't be wrong, then what was going on with the Zhao Xiaozhi in front of him?

"Mr. Zhao, I believe you also know the purpose of our visit today."

Zhao Xiaozhi personally poured tea for Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao. His attitude was very gentle and it was impossible to tell what was going on in his eyes.

"I do know, but I don't think I've ever seen this young man."

Zhao Xiaozhi glanced at Lin Ruoqiao, and his eyes couldn't help but flash.

Song Zhennan had been staring at him the whole time, so he naturally saw the expression on his face. When he saw that there was something wrong with the way he looked at Lin Ruoqiao, his face suddenly darkened.

"Mr. Zhao, this is the drug dealer who came to buy medicinal herbs. He is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the thousand-year-old snow lotus you have. I heard that you have such precious things, so I brought him here rashly. Please don't blame me, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Xiaozhi chuckled, "Of course I won't blame you, but I'm sorry to disappoint Young Master Song. I have other uses for this thousand-year-old snow lotus, so I'm afraid I can't sell it to you two."

Song Zhennan was already prepared to negotiate with Zhao Xiaozhi, but he did not expect Zhao Xiaozhi to say this, and he immediately frowned.

"Mr. Zhao, although this Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus is precious, if you can name a price, we can give it to you."

Zhao Xiaozhi's expression remained unchanged. "I am not satisfied with Young Master Song. My snow lotus does have other uses. I never intended to sell it. Young Master Song, please don't force me."

Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao looked at each other, and both of them saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Before they came, they were prepared that Zhao Xiaozhi would offer a high price, and they also thought that no matter how high the price was, they would get the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

But they never expected that Zhao Xiaozhi had no intention of selling the snow lotus.

Moreover, since Zhao Xiaozhi had already said this, the two naturally could not say anything more.

With heavy hearts, Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao could only leave temporarily.

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Zhao Xiaozhi got up and went to the study.

He stared at the portrait on the wall for a while, his eyes full of determination.

After Lin Ruoqiao and Song Zhenan returned to the Lin family, Lin Ruoqiao sat on the stool in a heavy atmosphere.

Seeing Lin Ruoqiao's expression, Lin Ruoxuan felt a little strange and didn't understand what was going on.

She turned her head to look at Song Zhennan beside her. When she saw Song Zhennan's expression, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Why? Is the price Zhao Xiaozhi wants too high?"

Song Zhenan shook his head and then sighed.

"Miss Lin, you don't know that Zhao Xiaozhi never thought about selling the snow lotus from the beginning to the end. No matter what we said, he would not agree."

Lin Ruoxuan also frowned, thinking that at this time in her previous life, Zhao Xiaozhi had indeed sold the thousand-year-old snow lotus for a high price.

What's going on now?

She didn't believe that Zhao Xiaozhi had changed his personality. Something must have happened that they didn't know about.

After sending Song Zhennan away, he comforted Lin Ruoqiao and let her go back to rest first.

Lin Ruoxuan went into the study alone and carefully recalled the events of her previous life.

Calculating this time, it was indeed the time when Zhao Xiaozhi sold the thousand-year-old snow lotus in exchange for a high position and generous salary. How could she have changed so much in this life? Could it be that because she changed some things, Zhao Xiaozhi also changed?

If that's the case, then things will become tricky.

Just when Lin Ruoxuan was puzzled, Hong Ya suddenly knocked on the study door.

In the past, unless there was something important, as long as Lin Ruoxuan entered the study, neither Hongya nor Luzhu would dare to knock on the door, unless there was something they could not decide.

"Come in, what's going on?"

"Miss, this is the visiting card from the Zhao family."

Lin Ruoxuan's eyelids twitched when she heard this.

She hesitated for a moment, but still took the visiting card.

When she saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope, she suddenly panicked. But she told herself that this was impossible, so she suppressed her panic and tried to calm herself down.

When she opened the visiting card, she saw that it was Zhao Xiaozhi asking her to meet him at Qingshui Lake.

Lin Ruoxuan's hands were shaking slightly as she held the visiting card, and Hongya beside her was very worried.

She didn't remember any contact between the young lady and the young master of the Zhao family. How could a small visiting card cause such a big reaction from the young lady?

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruoxuan shook her head, "Nothing."

Although Lin Ruoxuan looked calm, she was in a panic inside.

For safety reasons, Lin Ruoxuan did not keep the appointment, but went to Gu Mansion early the next morning.

Sure enough, Gu Nanyuan’s affairs could not be hidden from his mother.

When Lin Ruoxuan arrived at Gu's house, she saw Gu's mother with red eyes, looking at her son with eyes full of grief.

She stepped forward and saluted, then looked at Gu Nanyuan. Seeing that Gu Nanyuan was still unconscious, she wanted to ask about the situation.
