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

The wife of the Duke's Mansion raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had not expected Sun Rong to refute in public, and her tone was still sharp: "Madam Sun, we are just doing this for your own good, so that your Lin family's reputation will not be ruined.

If you want to do good for your family, send these two girls away immediately to avoid further embarrassment."

Sun Rong sneered, anger boiling in her chest.

She stood up and responded firmly, "How the girls of my Lin family are brought up is not something that can be judged by others. If there are any problems with the character of my daughters, it is our own Lin family who will discipline them."

"As for these rumors, they are nothing more than rumors deliberately spread by villains, and they may not be taken seriously. The ladies have heard about them with great enthusiasm, but have you personally seen any improper behavior by my Seventh Miss?"

Her words were so powerful and upright that the atmosphere around her froze for a moment. Many ladies looked at each other and no longer dared to speak easily.

Then he turned around coldly and left the private room without looking back.

The carriage swayed back to the Lin family. Inside the carriage, Lotus Sun remained silent, her brows furrowed.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Although there were constant rumors in the capital, these vicious words targeting a woman's reputation could never appear out of nowhere.

Most likely, someone deliberately spread these rumors and took the opportunity to slander the Lin family.

"Mother Chen," Sun Rong turned her head, "Go and find out where these rumors came from. I want to know who is behind this."

Upon hearing this, Mother Chen was startled and quickly nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely check it out."

Lotus Sun looked at the street scene passing by outside the car window, her heart aching with anger, and her face gradually darkened.

Although she usually doesn't like to compete with others, when it comes to her daughters' reputations, especially now that Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao are at a critical period of marriage, such rumors can simply ruin someone's life.

After returning to the Lin family, Sun Rong suppressed her anger and went back to the yard. On the surface, she regained her usual calmness and fiddled with the flowers and plants in the yard, but in her heart she was waiting for the news that Mother Chen would bring back.

The longer she waited, the more uneasy she felt, and she always had a bad feeling.

Not long after, Mother Chen ran into the yard in a panic, her face full of tension.

"Ma'am, I've found out everything!" Mother Chen said breathlessly in a hurried tone.

Lotus Sun put down the pruning branches in her hand, stood up straight, and looked sternly: "Who did it?"

"Yes...it's the girls from the Song family and the Wu family." Mother Chen reported in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy.

"What?!" Sun Rong was so angry that she almost dropped the pruning branches in her hand. She turned around and glared at Mother Chen. "How could these two be so shameless? They actually ruined Xuan'er and Qiao'er's reputation everywhere!"

Mother Chen nodded quickly. "Yes, ma'am. These two have long been making up lies at various poetry gatherings and banquets, saying that the Eighth and Seventh Misses are bullying others by taking advantage of their power, and that they are shameless and trying to climb up the social ladder."

The rage in Lotus Sun's chest was about to burst out. She fiercely threw away the pruning branches in her hand and said angrily, "The Song and Wu families are really going too far!"

Seeing that Sun Rong was so angry that her face turned pale, Madam Chen was also worried about the master's family. She quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Madam, please don't worry. Song Yuqing said that she and Wu Qingfu were bullied by the Eighth Miss and the Seventh Miss. I think we should ask the Eighth Miss about this matter to find out what happened."

When Lotus Sun heard this, she immediately became furious and rushed straight to Lin Ruoxuan's yard.

She was in a mess, and couldn't figure out when Xuan'er had bullied Song Yuqing. She knew her child well. If Xuan'er had argued with others, that was possible, but bullying others, especially humiliating them in public, was absolutely impossible.

"Mom?" Lin Ruoxuan was stunned when she saw her mother rushing towards her with anger. She quickly stood up and walked forward to greet her, "What's wrong with you?"

Sun Rong stared at her, her tone full of accusation: "Xuan'er, tell me, did you bully Song Yuqing and Wu Qingfu?"

Lin Ruoxuan did not hide her behavior. She sighed and said, "Mother, I did hit someone. That day at the Tingqu Club, Song Yuqing and Wu Qingfu were really too much. They provoked me everywhere, not only targeting me, but also insulting my seventh sister in a veiled way.

I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I took action. But I promise, these are just disputes between us girls, and they won't cause any big trouble for the family."

Sun Rong looked at Lin Ruoxuan, her expression did not ease, but became even more serious.

She suppressed her anger and sighed, "Xuan'er, you seem to be downplaying this matter, but you don't know that things have become a big deal now. The Wu family and the Song family will not give up. They are slandering you and Qiao'er everywhere, and even dragging down the reputation of the family."

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her mother in confusion, frowning, "Revenge? What else can they do? They are just rumors, we should just ignore them."

Sun Rong shook her head helplessly, turned to Mother Chen and instructed, "Mother Chen, tell Xuan'er what you just heard, so that she can understand how serious the current situation is."

Mother Chen was also worried about Lin Ruoxuan. She sighed softly, then stepped forward and explained the situation in detail.

After hearing what Mother Chen said, Lin Ruoxuan's face suddenly turned pale, and she clenched her fists tightly, with her knuckles making a slight "click" sound.

Anger was rising in her chest, and she could hardly suppress the rage in her heart. She wanted to rush to the Wu and Song families immediately to settle the score with them.

"They are looking for death!" Lin Ruoxuan growled with gritted teeth, her eyes full of cold light.

"Xuan'er, calm down!"

Sun Rong quickly grabbed Lin Ruoxuan's wrist to stop her impulsive behavior. "I know you feel wronged, but you have to think clearly. This is not a trivial matter. Now the two families have joined forces and are waiting for you to make a mistake. If you act impulsively again, they will succeed!"

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, she took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.

Sun Rong was relieved to see her daughter finally calm down, but she still advised, "Xuan'er, you sisters should behave yourself recently. These rumors will eventually fade away. Once they have vented their anger, the matter will be over."

The coldness in Lin Ruoxuan's eyes became more intense.

If the rumors continue to spread, Lin Ruoqiao's marriage will be completely affected.

Thinking of this, she could no longer remain silent.

Lotus Sun was still walking around in the yard, anxiously thinking about how to suppress the matter.

Seeing her daughter so calm and as if she had some new ideas, although she was anxious, she could not bear to let her daughter make an impulsive decision.
