Mother Hong responded: "Hey, old lady."

After all, Lin Ruoxue is the old lady's granddaughter. The previous few people were also angry about the rumors outside. After all, they are very close relatives and cannot be seen by outsiders.

It was already midnight when Lin Ruoxuan returned home. The dew was getting heavier. Hong Ya saw that she did not go towards Qing Muxuan's yard and asked with concern: "Miss, it's cold at night. Let's go back and rest early?"

She shook her head bitterly: "Not going back for now, I want to go to my elder sister's yard to take a look."

If I don't go and see it now, I will feel uncomfortable.

Hongya was extremely worried. When she was about to say something, Luqiao pulled her clothes, signaling her not to continue. In the end, she did not say anything else.

"Okay, girl, Luqiao will hold the lamp for you."

Lin Ruoxuan walked quickly to Lin Ruoxue's yard, with all kinds of emotions churning in her heart. All that came to her mind were the happy times she had with her elder sister. Now, only a few days had passed, and her elder sister had moved away directly from here.

She clenched her slender fingers into fists, as if she had great strength in her body. She would not give up just like that.

Lin Ruoxuan stayed here until dawn before leaving. Hongya and Luqiao were yawning violently. Halfway through, she ran into Lin Shiyuan. Lin Shiyuan was angry at the moment, but when he saw her coming out of his eldest daughter's yard, he suddenly felt guilty.

Not to mention the words of scolding Lin Ruoxuan.

An unnatural look flashed across his face, and he quickly looked away and left in shame.

What father would think he is such a wimp?

If Lin Ruoxuan didn't have the Zhenguo Mansion behind her, he would naturally not allow her to come home so late.

Lin Ruoxuan naturally also saw Lin Shiyuan. Her eyes were cold the whole time. Coupled with her sleepiness, she looked even colder. When she returned to Qingmuxuan, she was already very sleepy.

"Hongya, Luqiao, there's no need to wake me up at noon. If anyone wants to see me, just decline them for me."

Luqiao knew that the girl wanted to rest and nodded.

"Yes, young lady. I have already ordered the food to be prepared in the kitchen. Would you like to eat something before going to bed?"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded, and after eating, she lay down on the couch to rest. She slept for a whole day and night. Until the next day when the sun was high in the sky, Lin Ruoxuan showed no sign of getting up, and Luqiao couldn't help feeling worried.

"Hongya, do you think the girl is sick? How come she can't even get up at this hour?"

"Miss Xu is too tired."

While Hongya was speaking, she walked forward, pulled open the curtain, reached out her hand and touched the girl's forehead, and found that it was at a normal temperature. Lin Ruoxuan also woke up at this time. She lay in bed and didn't want to get up. She felt powerless all over.

"What time is it now?"

"Girl, it's morning."

Lin Ruoxuan blinked and tried to get up from the bed, but her body was limp: "Why did you call me at this hour? I am too tired to leave now and cannot get up."

Hongya was worried: "Miss, are you sick?"

"It feels like it."

It feels a lot like being sick.

Luqiao didn't wait for instructions and went straight to call a doctor in a hurry.

Hongya was afraid that Lin Ruoxuan would be hungry, so she asked someone to bring some lotus seed and lily porridge to feed her. However, it was difficult for her to swallow while lying in bed, and she was not feeling well, so Lin Ruoxuan did not eat much.

She sighed: "Girl, eat a little more. You haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night."

Lin Ruoxuan shook her head sleepily: "Forget it, I can't eat."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luqiao came over with the doctor.

After taking the pulse, the doctor put away the handkerchief and said, "Eighth Miss, you have caught a cold. I will prescribe some medicine for you. I guarantee that the disease will be cured after you take it."

"Okay, Luqiao, take the doctor out."

When Luqiao sent the person out, she gave him some heavy silver. When she came back, she had a few more packets of medicine in her hand. She asked the kitchen to boil the medicine and then brought it to Lin Ruoxuan and fed her one spoonful at a time.

Lin Ruoxuan felt it was very bitter and didn't want to drink it.

Lu Qiao handed her a candy and couldn't help but teasing: "The girl is still afraid of hardship like when she was a child."

Lin Ruoxuan sighed: "I don't want to drink that damn medicine at any time. It tastes bad and smells bad."

“Good medicine tastes bitter.”

Lin Ruoxuan crushed the rock sugar in her mouth. When she felt it tasted sweeter, she pinched her nose and poured the bitter medicine directly into her mouth, drinking up all the liquid in the bowl.

Hongya wiped the medicine that stained the area around her mouth.

Luqiao took the bowl away.

After Sun Rong learned that Lin Ruoxuan was ill, she rushed to Qingmuxuan and anxiously held Lin Ruoxuan's finger to greet her: "Are you feeling better now? Why didn't you notify me when you were ill? If I hadn't seen the doctor, I wouldn't have known you were ill."

Seeing her mother's worried face, Lin Ruoxuan patted her hands and said with a smile.

"Mother, I just caught a cold. I went to visit my elder sister last night and was blown by a bit of cold wind. It's nothing serious. Don't worry too much. I've taken some medicine and I feel much better now."

Sun Rong caressed Lin Ruoxuan's face.

"You suffered."

"My daughter doesn't feel bitter."

Sun Rong knew very well that Lin Ruoxuan was worried about Xue Jie'er, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to Xue Jie'er's yard in the middle of the night. She took a deep breath and said helplessly.

"It's all mother's fault. I don't have the ability to protect you. If I had the ability to protect you, Sister Xue wouldn't have to move out of the Lin Mansion now."

When talking about this family matter, she couldn't help wiping away tears.

Lin Ruoxuan did not blame her. Sun Rong had already given them the best she could. When she met Sun Rong's eyes again, her expression was unusually firm.

"Mother, now is not the time to be sad. There is something more important that needs you to do. You should take back the housekeeper's power."

Sun Rong looked at Lin Ruoxuan in astonishment: "Butler Quan?"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded: "Yes."

As she spoke, her voice became more intense: "Looking at the entire Shangjing City, there is no family whose household expenses are controlled by concubines. Mother, you should fight for it. This time, it was my eldest sister who moved out of the courtyard, so what about next time? Will you let the illegitimate son inherit everything from my father?"

Sun Rong shook her head in resistance: "No!"

Seeing that she was still somewhat rational, Lin Ruoxuan continued to analyze: "Now Miss Liu is in charge of the household affairs of the mansion, and the family is their world. Father is in his prime now, but what if he gets old in the future? Fourth brother is the legitimate son!"

Legitimate daughters are all married off, but legitimate sons are completely different.

Sun Rong felt a strange feeling surge through her body after hearing Lin Ruoxuan's words: "Mother knows what you mean, Sister Xuan. If it is really a bastard who inherits, then your fourth brother will hate me to death."
