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

She nodded calmly and continued, "Yes, this behavior not only damages one's personal reputation. If one person's reputation is ruined, all the women in the family will be implicated, and the road to marriage will probably be even more difficult."

The old lady of the Song family sighed and her tone became more severe.

"Indeed. Such desperate and desperate actions are really heartbreaking. If a woman does not know how to respect herself, wouldn't it affect the reputation of the entire family? Such actions will not only make her own marriage hopeless, but will even hinder the future of other girls in the family. It is really not worth the loss."

The old lady of the Lin family watched coldly, and she naturally understood in her heart that the old lady of the Song family was indirectly criticizing the woman who planned the drowning incident.

But she was also happy to do so, as she used it to give the Song family a warning. After all, Mrs. Song's behavior today was really too much.

She continued, "That's right. The girls in our Lin family have been taught since childhood to always consider the family's reputation and would never do something that disregards the overall situation."

The old lady of the Lin family took the opportunity to speak to the four granddaughters sitting beside her, "Listen, everyone. Marriage has always been decided by parents since ancient times."

"Although our Lin family is not wealthy, we have our own rules. We will not let our daughters do things that damage the family's reputation for their own selfish desires, nor will we marry into a wealthy family to gain a better future. You must remember that honor and disgrace are shared, and we must always consider the overall situation."

Mrs. Lin's original intention was to take this opportunity to remind her granddaughters not to act rashly, but everyone present understood that this was actually a secret satire on the Song family.

Mrs. Song's face turned pale and her expression was extremely ugly. She was filled with anger but could not vent it.

Lin Ruoxuan sneered in her heart. Seeing that the opportunity was right, she took the opportunity to speak: "Grandmother is right. Marriage is a big matter that should be properly considered by parents. How can we young people make the decision on our own? What's more, some families rely on their power and think that all women in the world must belong to their family. Little do they know that the women don't have that idea in their hearts at all. They are just being sentimental."

Lin Ruoxue followed closely behind, her voice gentle but with a hint of disdain, "Yes, Sister Xuan is right. Nowadays, some families always think that others are coveting their power, but what is the reality? It's just their own wild imagination. Our Lin family has never thought of relying on clinging to others to gain false reputation."

After these words were spoken, Mrs. Song could no longer sit still. Her face turned pale and blue, her hands tightly clenched her sleeves, and her whole body almost trembled.

She looked at Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue, her heart filled with anger. She wanted to fight back immediately, but found that she had no idea where to start.

Although the other members of the Song family were furious, they did not dare to respond on the spot.

They were afraid that if they spoke carelessly, they would be exposed and Lin Ruoxuan or Lin Ruoxue would seize the opportunity to fight back. In that case, not only would they lose face, but the entire Song family would also become a laughing stock in Beijing.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly awkward, Lotus Sun quickly stepped out to smooth things over. With a gentle smile on her face, she said to Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue, "Ruoxuan, Ruoxue, you two were so happy about receiving the gifts today that you forgot to do anything. You've made a fool of yourself."

"Mother has arranged for Li Xiu Niang to come to our house today to make some new clothes. You girls should go and pick out the fabrics you like. Don't talk nonsense here. It's impolite."

Sun Rong's words were gentle but with a hint of reproach. Although on the surface she was blaming her daughters for their excessive words, she was actually helping them out and giving the Song family some face.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue understood what he meant and immediately stood up respectfully and bowed to Sun Rong and Old Madam Lin.

"Mother taught us that we should go and pick out the fabrics now and not disturb you here." Lin Ruoxuan said softly with a faint smile on her face, appearing well-behaved and polite.

She looked so innocent that Mrs. Song was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Lin Ruoxue also said: "Yes, mother, we will do it right away and don't let you worry."

Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoqing also stood up and bowed to Sun Rong and Old Madam Lin, "We will also help the sisters choose."

Sun Rong nodded with satisfaction and said gently, "Go ahead. It's rare for Li Xiu Niang to have free time. You guys should choose carefully and don't miss out."

Lin Ruoxuan and her sisters bowed respectfully again, then turned and left the hall.

They left with a calm pace and no sign of panic on their faces, appearing dignified and graceful.

After her daughters left, Sun Rong also stood up and said to Madam Lin, "Mother, I will go and see how they are selecting, so that they don't choose the wrong fabric and waste the embroidery's efforts."

Madam Lin nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Sun Rong responded, then bowed slightly and left the hall with her daughters.

Lin Ruoxuan and her sisters came to Sun Rong's yard and saw that Li Xiu Niang was already waiting with the cloth.

The four sisters' eyes lit up and they were all attracted by the fabrics.

Li Xiu Niang saw the girls coming and stepped forward with a smile, "Come and take a look, girls. I spent a lot of effort to find these fabrics in the capital. They are the most fashionable fabrics nowadays. If I didn't have a good relationship with the shop owners, I'm afraid it would be hard to get them now."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded and gently stroked a piece of lavender silk. The texture was soft and smooth, with a faint noble luster.

Lin Ruoxue had a special liking for a piece of satin embroidered with floral patterns and looked at it carefully.

"This piece of cloth has a bright color and a good feel. If it is used to make a coat, it will definitely be very beautiful."

Li Xiu Niang introduced them with a smile, "These are the most fashionable fabrics in the capital. Many noble ladies are vying to buy them. If you come later, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy even one piece."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, these fabrics are of high quality. If they were made into clothes, they would definitely look great."

However, the third lady Lin Ruoxi suddenly sneered and said nonchalantly, "It is fashionable, but since these fabrics are the most sought-after in the capital, don't all the noble ladies have them? It's inevitable that you will bump into others when you wear them out. What's the point of wearing the same thing as others?"

As soon as she said this, the smile on Li Xiu Niang's face froze slightly.

Just when they didn't know how to respond, Lin Ruoxuan and her older sister Lin Ruoxue looked at each other and couldn't help but fight back.

"Third sister, what you said is quite interesting."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Same fabric, same style, only when they wear it out can we see who has better temperament and who is more outstanding. People who are truly confident are not afraid of wearing the same clothes as others, but it can bring out their own style."
