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

However, Mrs. Song did not stop there. Instead, as if she had noticed something, she continued her provocative conversation.

"Alas, when it comes to marriage, the most important thing is to be well-matched."

Mrs. Song smiled gently, her tone seemed very cordial, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Marriage in this world really can't be forced. If you covet something that you don't deserve, it will easily bring disaster upon you."

As soon as she finished speaking, although the old lady of the Lin family didn't understand why, she saw that there was some unkindness in her words and her face darkened.

Lotus Sun frowned slightly, but due to courtesy, she did not say much.

In contrast, Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Lin Ruoxue felt the subtle changes in the air and smiled faintly, but she already understood in her heart that Mrs. Song was making a subtle criticism of them.

She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Madam Song. Her gentle smile remained unchanged, but with a hint of alienation. "Madam, what you said is very true. Being well-matched is indeed a major issue in marriage. But the word love sometimes makes it difficult for people to make a choice."

Lin Ruoxue's words were gentle but sharp, directly refuting Mrs. Song's remarks.

Mrs. Song didn't seem to care and continued her "teachings".

"Isn't it? People often say that marrying up is not as good as marrying down. If you marry too high without the corresponding background and strength, it will only bring shame to the family."

These words were undoubtedly directed at a certain girl in the Lin family, and they also implied that if the Lin family attempted to cling to a force they shouldn't be clinging to, they would only end up bringing humiliation upon themselves.

Lin Ruoxuan sneered in her heart. Mrs. Song's words sounded high-sounding, but in fact they were full of sarcasm.

She knew that the Song family was trying to suppress the Lin family.

Lin Ruoxuan couldn't bear to listen any longer, she suddenly stood up with a slightly cold expression.

There was a hint of anger in her eyes, and she was obviously completely enraged by what Mrs. Song had just said.

"Madam Song, our four sisters have kept in mind your teachings in our Lin Mansion today." Lin Ruoxuan walked slowly into the hall. Her voice was clear and polite, but there was a power in her words that could not be ignored.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoxi also stood up and stood beside Lin Ruoxuan, with a glimmer of recognition in their eyes. It was obvious that the sisters did not intend to swallow their anger any longer.

Mrs. Song's smile froze for a moment when she heard this, and then she regained her false amiability, "Ah, Miss Xuan is indeed smart and sensible. I was just giving you some advice today. If it can help you, that would be great."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't buy it, and changed her tone, saying sharply: "Speaking of being well-matched, Mrs. Song's suggestion is indeed very reasonable. However, there is a new thing in the capital recently, which happens to be related to this being well-matched."

Mrs. Song's heart tightened slightly, but she still pretended not to care, "Oh? What's the new news? Miss Xuan, please tell me about it."

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and she said slowly: "A few days ago, there was a rumor in the capital that King Cheng's only son, Little Prince Cheng, saved a woman who fell into the water at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. It is said that after the woman woke up, she claimed that they had had physical contact, and asked Little Prince Cheng to marry her, otherwise she would die to prove her loyalty."

Lin Shiyuan and the old lady of the Lin family were both shocked when they heard this. It was obviously the first time they heard of this.

Mrs. Song's expression changed slightly.

Lin Ruoxuan continued, "I heard that the father of this girl is only a seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy. Although she is a legitimate daughter, her family background is quite different from that of the young prince Cheng. What does Madam Song think of this marriage?"

Mrs. Song's face suddenly turned pale. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

Lin Ruoxuan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing her heart, because the woman Lin Ruoxuan mentioned was none other than her elder sister's daughter - a girl from the Song family.

The so-called "falling into the water" incident was actually a carefully planned means, the purpose of which was to force Prince Cheng to marry this cousin out of helplessness.

Mrs. Song tried her best to suppress the matter, and only a few people knew the inside story. Now that Lin Ruoxuan had casually revealed it, she was shocked.

Madam Song tried to remain calm and managed a smile, "Miss Xuan, these rumors are probably just rumors. How can outsiders talk about the young prince's affairs?"

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her stiff expression and sneered, her eyes full of understanding, "Mrs. Song, everyone knows whether this is true or not, right?"

Seven or eight days have passed, and not a single rumor has been heard in the capital. I'm afraid this may be due to Mrs. Song's efforts.

Mrs. Song's body trembled slightly, she knew that Lin Ruoxuan was right.

But she mobilized the power of her family to suppress the matter, and planned to have her husband, Lord Song, propose marriage to King Cheng within a few days to finalize the matter.

However, she never expected that Lin Ruoxuan would know about this matter in advance.

Then her plan couldn't be implemented.

She hurriedly defended herself, "Miss Xuan, I don't know where you got these rumors from, but the matter is not clear yet, so you'd better not make a big fuss about it, lest it damages the girl's reputation."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slowly, "Madam Song, I just heard some rumors. Whether it is true or not is up to the royal family to decide. It's just that you brought up the issue of being well-matched today, Madam Song, so I just wanted to discuss it."

In the previous life, this matter did not go as planned. Although the woman did not become the legal wife, but was given to Prince Cheng as a concubine, it was enough for her family to rise to prominence.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Mrs. Song coldly as her face changed drastically because of her words. She already had a plan in mind.

At this point she understood that if she revealed this matter in front of everyone, it might be difficult for Madam Song to continue with her plan of letting Lord Song propose marriage to Prince Cheng.

This meant that she indirectly ruined Mrs. Song's plan, but she had no regrets - after all, it was Mrs. Song who first provoked their Lin family.

Seeing that Madam Song was speechless for a moment, Lin Ruoxuan did not intend to give up. Instead, she pressed on and asked softly, "Madam Song, do you think this is in accordance with etiquette? If King Cheng knew the truth, how would the family maintain its reputation?"

Mrs. Song was speechless and her face turned pale, but she couldn't find a suitable answer.

At this moment, Mrs. Song realized that the situation was not good, and immediately interrupted to change the subject, defusing the awkward situation.

She turned to Madam Lin and said in a serious tone, "Sister Lin, to be honest, some people are willing to lose face and do things that are difficult to understand in order to climb up the social ladder."

Although the old lady of the Lin family was full of dissatisfaction with the Song family in her heart, she still maintained a friendly appearance.
