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

"No, Miss Eight, something happened, something happened."

"What's going on? Tell me!"

Then He Hua told the story again.

Lin Ruoxuan raised her leg and rushed towards Lin Ruoxue. Lin Ruoqiao was also in her yard, so the two of them rushed over together.

Lin Ruoxuan frowned, her expression was solemn, and her eyes were filled with deep thought.

She kept thinking about the Qi family's affairs in her mind, and vaguely felt that the arrest of Lord Qi this time was not an ordinary murder case, and it was very likely involved in a larger conspiracy.

"Sister," Miss Seven Lin Ruoqiao hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but whispered, "Do you think someone is behind this? Although Jingzhao Yin is the sheriff of the capital, does he really have the courage to arrest Master Qi with his power alone?"

Lin Ruoxuan stopped and nodded gently: "Indeed, Jingzhao Yin is just a minor official in the court. He dared to rashly arrest important officials in the court. There must be a bigger force behind it. This matter is probably far more complicated than it seems."

Lin Ruoqiao frowned, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes: "Then... Sister, who do you think is behind this? Could it be... a powerful official in the court? Or... a royal relative?"

Lin Ruoxuan sighed softly and looked at Lin Ruoxue's yard in the distance with complicated eyes.

Her thoughts were swirling, but she couldn't come up with a definite answer for a moment.

In the memory of the previous life, there was no such earth-shattering event in the Qi family. Perhaps it was because the situation in this life had changed differently.

Lin Ruoxue had just decided to go to the Qi family with Nanny Yu. Although she was a little hesitant, she finally made up her mind to help the Qi family.

At this moment, Sun Rong happened to arrive at the gate of the courtyard and heard her daughter's decision. Her face suddenly darkened.

She walked quickly into the yard with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Xue'er," Sun Rong said coldly, her voice full of suppressed anger, "You can't go to the Qi family with me? Do you know how against the rules this is?"

Lin Ruoxue was stunned. She didn't expect her mother to suddenly appear. She was about to explain when she saw Sun Rong had turned around and stared coldly at Nanny Yu who was kneeling on the ground. Her eyes were as sharp as torches. "Nanny Yu, you knew that this was against the rules, but you still came to beg my eldest daughter? Are you deliberately trying to ruin her reputation?"

Nanny Yu showed panic on her face, and quickly bowed her head, choking with sobs as she said, "Madam, I didn't mean to embarrass the young lady. The Qi family is in chaos now, and no one can hold on to the situation. I really have no other options, so I shamelessly came to ask the young lady for help..."

Sun Rong sneered, her voice as cold as ice: "Madam Yu, you are an elder of the Qi family, so I won't bother with you. But the eldest daughter hasn't even married yet, and you're asking her to interfere in the affairs of the Qi family. Isn't this damaging her reputation? If something really goes wrong, is she going to be the one to bear the consequences?"

Lin Ruoxue stood aside and understood that what her mother said made sense.

She was silent for a moment, then looked up at her mother with helplessness in her eyes: "Mom, I know this is not right, but the Qi family and I have an engagement, and now they are in trouble. If we don't help, Ze Shen's future will also be affected."

Sun Rong's expression remained stern as she shook her head. "Xue'er, have you ever thought about how much damage this matter would cause you if it got out? Those noble ladies and children from aristocratic families in the capital would point fingers at you behind your back. Not only would it ruin your reputation, it would also affect your sisters' marriages."

Lin Ruoxue was silent. She couldn't be so selfish as to only think about the Qi family and ignore the future of herself and her sisters.

She looked at her mother and slowly lowered her head: "Mom, you are right, I can't take this risk."

However, when Nanny Yu saw Lin Ruoxue's silence and Sun Rong's firm attitude, she became more and more anxious.

The Qi family's current situation is on the verge of collapse. If the Lin family does not lend a helping hand, the Qi family's eldest branch will be finished.

Nanny Yu suddenly knelt down, tears in her eyes, and her voice trembled: "Madam, Miss, I beg you!

Now the young master has not returned yet, the family is in chaos, and no one in the eldest house can control the situation. The mistress is unconscious, and the old servant has no other choice but to ask the eldest lady to come forward.

Please sympathize with the Qi family's temporary predicament. As long as the eldest daughter is willing to step forward to stabilize the situation, there will be no greater disaster. "

Listening to Nanny Yu's plea, Lin Ruoxue felt a dull pain in her heart.

Sun Rong stood in the courtyard and still ruthlessly rejected Nanny Yu.

There was a cold hardness in her tone, and she had already made up her mind: no matter what happened, she would not let Ruoxue ruin her future because of the Qi family's affairs.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao hurried over. They had obviously heard Sun Rong's decision, and their expressions were full of dissatisfaction.

Lin Ruoxuan walked in front of Sun Rong, breathing slightly, with a frown on her face.

"Mother, why don't you let my elder sister go? The situation of the Qi family is so critical now. My sister and Young Master Qi's engagement has been decided long ago. Are we supposed to stand by and watch at this time?"

Sun Rong's face was still stern. She looked up at her daughter and said firmly, "Xuan'er, if your sister intervenes now, it will definitely cause gossip. She is not married yet, so her reputation is particularly important. It not only affects her future, but also the marriages of you and your sisters."

Lin Ruoqiao stood aside, her eyes showing a bit of anxiety. She couldn't help but speak out: "But mother, my sister and Qi Zi have a deep relationship. If she doesn't take action in this matter, won't people think that my sister is cold-blooded and heartless, which will only attract more criticism?"

Sun Rong frowned slightly, but still insisted on her opinion: "In this world, a woman's reputation is more important than anything else. If she interferes in the affairs of the Qi family, she will eventually leave a handle behind."

Lin Ruoxuan sighed slightly, and then said earnestly, "Mother, it is a fact that my elder sister is engaged to Mr. Qi. Now that the Qi family is facing such a crisis, if my sister does not come forward, not only will the Qi family be damaged, but my sister's reputation will be even worse.

There will be rumors that she hides away when the Qi family is in trouble, that she is heartless and unfaithful, and it may even affect her position in Mr. Qi's heart."

Sun Rong was slightly startled, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Seeing her mother waver, Lin Ruoxuan continued, "Mother, you have always known that my elder sister is kind and she and Mr. Qi are in love with each other.

The situation the Qi family is facing is indeed complicated, but if my sister stands aside and watches, there will be more gossip and suspicion in the future, which will be even more troublesome."

Lin Ruoqiao also stepped forward and said softly, "Mother, if you are worried, then let my eighth sister go with you. If my sister goes, she will definitely help my eldest sister stabilize the situation and prevent the Qi family from getting out of control."

A hint of embarrassment and hesitation flashed across Sun Rong's eyes.
