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

Upon hearing this, Song Zhennan's expression became even more serious.

At the Lin family’s house, the room was filled with the scent of medicinal herbs.

The doctor frowned and bandaged Lin Ruoqiao's wound carefully.

Lin Ruoqiao was pale and lay quietly on the bed, unconscious, like a flower about to wither.

Lin Ruoxuan stood beside the bed, her eyes slightly red, anger burning in her heart.

She clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white, and she wished she could tear Song Yuqing into pieces immediately.

Lin Ruoxue noticed her sister's emotions, gently held her hand, and whispered to comfort her: "Xuan'er, don't be impulsive, Song Yuqing has been taken away. The most important thing now is the seventh sister's injury. Wait until she wakes up, and then we will talk about everything. Jingzhao Yinfu will handle it impartially. Don't worry too much. We can't fall down. Seventh sister still needs you."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Lin Ruoxuan's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her inner anger, nodded, but still clenched her fists.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Although Lin Ruoxue's advice made sense, the hatred in her heart could never be erased.

At this time, Sun Rong and Lin Shiyuan hurried over. Lin Shiyuan's face was full of anxiety, and his face did not look very good when he saw Lin Ruoqiao unconscious on the bed.

Lin Ruoxuan glanced at her father coldly, her heart filled with dissatisfaction and disappointment.

She said in a deep voice: "Big sister and mother take good care of Seventh Sister. I have to go out for a while."

Lin Ruoxue was stunned and asked quickly: "Xuan'er, where are you going?"

Since Lin Shiyuan came in, Lin Ruoxuan didn't call him.

He felt that he was being ignored. Now Lin Ruoxuan left without saying a word, so he said, "Stop right there. Where are you going?"

Lin Ruoxuan didn't even look at him and turned away.

Lin Shiyuan looked at her leaving back and his expression became even uglier.

His mood was already complicated, and now his anger could no longer be suppressed.

He asked loudly, "Where is she going? She is so careless and wants to run away at the slightest provocation. Is she going to ruin the reputation of the Lin family?"

At this time, Lin Ruoxi, who was hiding outside the door, saw this scene and walked in at the right time. A sneer flashed in her eyes, and then she pretended to be curious and asked, "Father, where is Eighth Sister going? She has been getting more and more arrogant recently, and she loses her temper at every turn. It seems that because she is going to marry into a wealthy family, it is understandable that she has a bad temper."

Her tone was light and a little sarcastic, and it seemed like she was speaking unintentionally, but in fact, she was deliberately trying to provoke.

After she finished speaking, she gave Sun Rong a meaningful look and deliberately emphasized her tone, "Father, we must be more careful in the future. After all, it will be Eighth Sister who will be in charge of the family. When the time comes, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop her from doing anything she wants to do."

When Lin Shiyuan heard this, his face turned even more livid, and he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! How come it is her turn to be the boss at home? How did you, as a mother, raise your daughter? You raised such a lawless daughter!"

When Sun Rong heard her husband's scolding, her brows furrowed, but she did not refute immediately. After all, Lin Ruoqiao's injuries were not stable yet, and the family was in a precarious situation.

She calmly suppressed her anger and decided to keep the peace.

But Lin Ruoxue could no longer bear it, so she stood up and said, "Father, please don't blame Eighth Sister. She is in a bad mood now because Seventh Sister was injured and she is angry but can't vent it, so she is acting a little impatient. She is doing this for the good of the family, not deliberately contradicting you. If we talk about the one who truly cares about the family, it is Ruoxuan."

She paused, her tone was a little cold, she looked at Lin Ruoxi, and then said: "It's Third Sister, it's been so long since the incident happened, you didn't come earlier, you didn't come later, but you came at this time, do you want to come to see the joke?"

Lin Ruoxi was choked by her elder sister's words and her face turned red and white. She smiled awkwardly to cover up her embarrassment: "What are you talking about, elder sister? I just care about my sisters and came to take a look. I don't mean to laugh at you."

Lin Ruoxue sneered and did not continue to argue with her, but the contempt and disdain in her eyes were already revealed.

After a moment of silence, Lin Ruoxi pretended to be indifferent and said, "Now there are rumors flying around outside, saying that the seventh sister did something that was disgraceful to the family and seduced the young master of the Song family, so we must always restrain ourselves a little, so as not to be pointed at by more people. The family's reputation is a big deal."

Lin Ruoxue couldn't bear it any longer. She frowned, walked forward suddenly, raised her hand, and slapped Lin Ruoxi hard in the face.

The crisp sound made the whole room silent in an instant. Everyone looked at Lin Ruoxue in shock. No one expected her to suddenly take action.

Lin Ruoxi covered her face with disbelief, her voice trembling: "Big sister! You hit me?!"

Lin Ruoxue looked at her coldly, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "I hit you because you are selfish! Sisters in the same family should share honor and disgrace and support each other. People outside are slandering our family, but not only do you not stand up to defend us, you are eager to distance yourself from us.

Do you really think that when others look down on the eighth and seventh sisters, they won’t count you, Lin Ruoxi, as a member of the Lin family? Do you really think you can stay out of it?"

Lin Ruoxi covered her red face with her hands, anger and grievance flashed in her eyes, but she did not refute.

She looked at Lin Shiyuan, trying to seek support, but her father was looking at her with a complicated expression and did not speak to defend her as she wished.

Lin Ruoxue continued, her tone becoming increasingly stern: "You keep saying that you are thinking about the family, but I see that you only care about your own brilliance outside, and never really think about your family! It would be fine if you didn't stand up for your sisters, but you actually come to sow discord at a time like this."

She glanced at Lin Ruoxue and continued coldly: "If you have time to say these meaningless words, why don't you pay more attention to your sixth sister! Your sixth sister is living with Lord Zhao, why don't you say a word as her elder sister? After all, you are half sisters. She is now in a bad reputation, are you just going to sit back and do nothing?"

These words hit Lin Ruoxi's heart like a heavy hammer. Her face turned pale and her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't speak for a while.

Lin Shiyuan's expression became more and more solemn, his brows were furrowed, and anxiety and anger were revealed in his eyes.

He was about to open his mouth to reprimand her when he heard the door creak open and the doctor walked out slowly, the medicine box in his hand trembling slightly.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the doctor, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The doctor gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, bowed and said, "Seventh Miss is not in danger of death for now, but the wound on her face is quite deep. If she is well taken care of, it won't leave a scar."
