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

Lin Ruoxuan gently picked up a longan and peeled it slowly. The white and tender flesh was exposed in the air, exuding a faint sweetness.

She put the longan into her mouth and chewed it slowly, still maintaining a calm smile on the surface, as if it was just an ordinary fruit.

Zhao Cezhi sat aside, watching her every move.

Although I had doubts in my heart, I also had some expectations.

In her previous life, Lin Ruoxuan had not eaten longans since she had a miscarriage due to eating them. She even felt nauseous and uncomfortable when she saw longans.

This was Zhao Cezhi deliberately testing her. He always felt that the plot of this life was different from the previous life because of Lin Ruoxuan.

Otherwise, according to the plot of the previous life, Lin Ruoxuan should have been unable to love him.

So the most likely scenario is that Lin Ruoxuan was also reborn, which is why she has no feelings for him in this life, and therefore the plot has changed.

So Zhao Cezhi tried every means to test Lin Ruoxuan.

However, to his surprise, Lin Ruoxuan ate the longan so naturally without any reaction.

Zhao Cezhi felt increasingly depressed, even finding it a little difficult to understand.

Zhao Cezhi smiled and said tentatively, "Longan is sweet and nourishing, especially beneficial to women. Miss Lin might as well eat more."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly, with a bit of indifference in her eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Zhao is thoughtful, this longan is really good."

Her fingers delicately peeled another longan and handed it to the seventh girl, Lin Ruoqiao, beside her, saying in a gentle voice, "Seventh sister, try it. This longan is indeed sweet."

The seventh girl took the longan, put it in her mouth without any doubt, and nodded with a smile: "It is indeed delicious."

Then, Lin Ruoxuan handed another longan to her mother, Sun Rong, and said with a smile, "Mother, try one too."

Sun Rong smiled slightly, took it and tasted it gently, praising it, "It is indeed a good thing. It seems that Master Zhao really put a lot of effort into it."

Zhao Cezhi's doubts grew deeper. He thought Lin Ruoxuan would react to longan, but she behaved so naturally and even took the initiative to share some with her family to taste. This was completely beyond his expectations.

Was she wrong? She was not reborn? Otherwise, why could she face the pain of losing her child so calmly?

Lin Ruoxuan saw it all and sneered in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface.

She knew very well that this was a carefully planned test by Zhao Cezhi, who wanted to find clues of her rebirth.

However, Lin Ruoxuan had already learned to hide herself, especially in front of Zhao Cezhi.

Every movement she made was natural, as if she was not affected by anything.

Zhao Cezhi felt depressed, and even he couldn't help but doubt himself, perhaps he was really wrong.

Maybe Lin Ruoxuan was not reborn, but he was just overthinking it.

Zhao Cezhi could only continue chatting with Lin Shiyuan.

At the same time, Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoting also said goodbye and left, saying that they were going to find Lin Ruoying to reminisce about the past.

Since both girls had left, there was naturally no need for Lin Ruoxuan to stay. She suppressed her inner nausea and said goodbye and left.

Lin Shiyuan waved his hand: "Go back."

"If my parents didn't want to eat longan, I would have taken them all back. They are so delicious."

Lin Shiyuan sighed deeply and explained to Zhao Cezhi: "This is not the seasonal fruit here, so I can't help but be a little greedy."

Sun Rong didn't say anything, but just asked Lin Ruoxuan to leave quickly.

After walking out of the front hall, Lin Ruoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She slowly walked back to her room, and after closing the door, her face suddenly turned pale, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant.

Her hands tightly grasped the corner of the table, as if only in this way could she stabilize her shaky body.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long finally surged into her heart. Lin Ruoxuan felt her stomach churning, and she suddenly rushed to the corner, bent down and began to vomit.

But even so, what came out was just some dry retching, and there was nothing substantial at all.

She leaned on the table, her breathing was disordered, and cold sweat was oozing from her face.

The trauma in her heart was far more severe than her physical reaction - that box of longan seemed to bring her back to the darkest time of her previous life.

In her mind, the unborn child, the pain of losing her, and how Zhao Cezhi and Lin Ruoting teamed up to play her around appeared again and again.

Lin Ruoxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She touched her abdomen, which still bore traces of the pain of losing her child in her previous life.

She closed her eyes slightly, letting the bitter memories surge up. Her eyes became slightly red, but she didn't let the tears fall.

"Zhao Cezhi, Lin Ruoting..."

She murmured in a low voice, with hatred and coldness that were difficult to conceal, "Do you think you can easily plot against me again in this life?"

She clenched her hands into fists, her nails almost digging into her palms, and the pain kept her calm.

It’s not that she has never felt resentment or thought of revenge, but in this life she is no longer willing to trap herself in endless hatred.

She just wanted to protect her family and live a peaceful life with Gu Nanyuan.

“I don’t want to be stained with the blood of hatred again, but since you insist on coming to my door, don’t blame me for being rude.” Lin Ruoxuan whispered, a determined light gradually burning in her eyes.

She slowly stood up, adjusted her breathing, walked to the window, and opened it to let in fresh air.

She looked at the sky in the distance and her heart gradually calmed down.

The pain from her previous life cannot become a hindrance to her. In this life, she must be calmer and stronger.

Luqiao and Hongya watched from the side, but didn't know what to say to comfort her.

I could only keep saying, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, don't scare me."

Lin Ruoxuan did not answer. After a long time, she turned her gaze back from the window.

"Luqiao," she ordered in a low voice, her voice was terrifyingly calm, "Recently, you should go to the Fifth Lady's courtyard more often, get in touch with the maids in her courtyard, and pay attention to the Fifth Lady's actions. See who she has been close to recently and what unusual movements she has made."

Lu Qiao nodded, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes: "Miss, don't worry, I will pay more attention and will not let anything suspicious slip through."

Lin Ruoxuan turned to Hongya who was standing beside her, and said in a slightly heavier tone: "Hongya, you are responsible for finding out the situation in the Third Miss's courtyard, especially her relationship with the Sixth Miss. The two of them have been too close recently. If there is any movement, you must tell me immediately."

Hongya leaned forward slightly, with determination in her eyes: "Yes, Miss, I will pay close attention to the movements of the third lady."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on her face.

She knew that these two women had different thoughts and would never behave themselves, especially the Fifth Girl, whose recent behavior was somewhat suspicious, so she had to be prepared in advance.
