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

Lin Ruoxuan looked at the princess's expression and understood what she was thinking.

"As Auntie expected, our plan did not succeed. The other party was unwilling to sell this thousand-year-old snow lotus to us no matter what."

The Princess and the Duke of Zhenguo could not help but frown. This man was not after money, but probably wanted something better.

Sure enough, the next moment Lin Ruoxuan said, "Mr. Zhao met me once from somewhere, and he proposed that if I agreed to marry him, he would give me this thousand-year-old snow lotus as a betrothal gift."

As Lin Ruoxuan finished speaking, the whole yard fell silent.

Not to mention the Duke and the Princess, even Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan looked at Lin Ruoxuan in shock.

Although they knew that Zhao Xiaozhi's team was interested in Lin Ruoxuan, they didn't know that this was what Zhao Xiaozhi told Lin Ruoxuan at the beginning.

Thinking of this, you can't help but frown.

Isn't Zhao Xiaozhi taking advantage of someone's misfortune by doing this?

This is really not what a gentleman does.

After a long while, the Duke of Zhenguo said, "I'm afraid I have misjudged him."

Before, he thought that this young man from the Zhao family was an upright gentleman, but now it seems that he was indeed wrong.

The princess held Lin Ruoxuan's hand with a distressed look on her face, "Xuan'er, have you been wronged?"

Lin Ruoxuan shook her head. "Mr. Song and Seventh Sister have tried to persuade him many times, but he still refused to give in and even made such a request. If we want to get this thousand-year-old snow lotus, we can only use other means."

"This time, I was the one who led Zhao Xiaozhi away, diverted his attention, and entrusted him to Jinxiu Huayun. When there was no one guarding the Zhao family, I asked Master Qi and Master Song to go to the Zhao family."

Qi Zeshen and Song Zhenan were worried that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess would misunderstand, so they quickly explained: "When we left, we also left 10,000 taels of silver for the Zhao family, and we didn't just take it away."

The Duke of Zhenguo and the princess were both a little surprised. They never expected that these youngsters could obtain the thousand-year-old snow lotus with such a simple method.

Although their methods are hard to describe, they actually succeeded.

Lin Ruoxuan, Qi Zeshen, Song Zhennan and others told the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess everything. It was not that they did not want to conceal it, but this matter could not be concealed at all.

In this case, it would be better to tell them the whole story to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.

The Duke of Zhenguo saw that several people told them the matter without hiding anything, and he knew that they might have other intentions.

"What do you mean?"

The Duke of Zhenguo knew that these people could come up with such an idea, and he was probably prepared for it.

In this case, he might as well listen to the opinions of these people.

After all, if the news of cheating someone and then breaking into a house to steal things were to get out, it would not be a glorious thing.

Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan looked at each other, and Song Zhennan couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle, I once had contact with this Zhao Xiaozhi. He suffered such a loss this time, and he must have made a big deal out of it."

"Plus, if General Gu wakes up at this time, I'm afraid someone will be suspicious, and Zhao Xiaozhi will also focus on General Gu and the Lin family."

"We are confessing to you and your aunt today in the hope that everyone can be prepared in advance and have a plan for dealing with it."

Qi Zeshen and Lin Ruoxuan also nodded. Regarding the matter of Zhao Xiaozhi, what they did was indeed not right.

But between Gu Nanyuan's life and morality, they would naturally choose Gu Nanyuan.

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess were silent for a moment.

Although they all knew that these children did this for their son, if their son woke up and the young master of the Zhao family really made a fuss, it would not be an easy problem to resolve.

After all, when Gu Nanyuan fell into a coma, the genius doctor said that if he wanted to wake him up, he had to use the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

With such glaring evidence right here, they can't make excuses even if they want to.

Seeing that the two had not spoken for a long time, Lin Ruoxuan thought that they were unhappy about their breaking into the house and stealing things, so she quickly stood up.

She bowed to the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess, "Uncle, aunt, I planned this matter. I wanted to save General Gu, so please don't blame me."

"As for Zhao Xiaozhi, I have never had any feelings for him from the beginning to the end. I only have General Gu in my heart. Uncle and aunt, please don't misunderstand me."

The Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess were a little confused for a moment when they saw Lin Ruoxuan's actions.

But when she came to her senses and realized what Lin Ruoxuan had said, the princess' eyes suddenly became red.

She immediately stood up and took Lin Ruoxuan into her arms, "You are all good children, all good children. His father and I remember everything you did for Yuan'er. It was because of your righteousness that you saved Yuan'er."

"You are not wrong. If anyone wants to thank you, it should be me and his father who should thank you. How can we ask you to apologize to us?"

Lin Ruoxuan, an unmarried woman, is willing to sacrifice her life for Gu Nanyuan, and her friends are even more willing to risk their lives for him.

If they still criticize Lin Ruoxuan and blame Gu Nanyuan's friends at this time, are they still human beings?

The Duke of Zhenguo also said: "Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it myself and will definitely not let it affect you at this time."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

They were not worried about the rumors outside, but about Lin Ruoxuan.

After all, Lin Ruoxuan and Zhao Xiaozhi entered Jinxiu Huayun openly today, which must have been seen by many people.

Nowadays, there are quite a few people outside who are targeting the Gu family. If those who are targeting the Lin family and the Gu family use this as an excuse to make trouble, it will be very disadvantageous to Lin Ruoxuan.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo and the Princess seem to be very fond of Lin Ruoxuan now, no one can guarantee whether they will still be so good to Lin Ruoxuan in the future.

After all, a woman's reputation is no trivial matter. If she can't explain it clearly, I'm afraid Lin Ruoxuan will have a hard time in her husband's family in the future.

Because the miracle doctor entered Gu Nanyuan's room today and never came out, everyone didn't know what Gu Nanyuan's current condition was, so no one left.

After waiting in the courtyard for two hours and changing the cakes and tea several times, the miracle doctor finally came out of Lin Ruoxuan's room.

The moment they saw the miracle doctor, everyone stood up.

"Divine Doctor, how is General Gu?"

Lin Ruoxuan stepped forward in a hurry, followed closely by the princess.

It wasn't that Lin Ruoxuan was breaking the rules and wanted to walk in front of the Duke and the Princess, but she was a little closer to the room.

In addition, the thousand-year-old snow lotus is the last hope for saving Gu Nanyuan, and she doesn't want her hope to be shattered.
