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

The Lin Mansion looked particularly quiet under the night sky. The flowers and trees on both sides of the stone path cast tiny shadows in the moonlight.

Sun Rong was sitting in front of the hall handling some business. When she saw her push the door open, she raised her head slightly and put down the account book in her hand. "Are you back?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly, walked forward and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Mother, I came here this time to ask you for 10,000 taels of silver."

Sun Rong was stunned for a moment, but then she regained her composure and slowly put down the teacup in her hand. "Ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. What are you going to do?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled without saying anything, her eyes were indifferent, but revealed a firmness.

Lotus Sun saw her expression and knew that she was confident, so she stopped asking questions and stood up, walked to the secret cabinet beside her, took out a key and opened the small door of the private vault.

It was filled with boxes, neatly arranged.

Lotus Sun picked a box and opened it to find stacks of banknotes inside.

She pulled out a few and handed them to her, "These should be enough." She paused, then turned her gaze to Lin Ruoxuan with some concern, "But you've been running around too much lately, and Qiao'er hasn't woken up yet, shouldn't you stay home more to take care of her?"

Lin Ruoxuan took the banknote, smiled gently, and put it away. "Of course I care about Seventh Sister's matter. Don't worry, I have already arranged enough people to take care of her. Besides, I also want to give her a surprise when she wakes up."

After hearing her words, Sun Rong frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy, but she couldn't see through her deeper meaning.

She walked back to the table and sat down, sighing softly, "Just be aware of it."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded to show that she understood.

Qingxiang hurried to Jingzhao Yinfu and found Gu Nanyuan.

At this time, Gu Nanyuan was discussing something with Qi Zeshen. Seeing Qingxiang's serious expression, he knew that something important must have happened.

Gu Nanyuan put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the hurry?"

Qingxiang clasped his fists in salute, then carefully recounted Lin Ruoxuan's plan to deal with the Song and Wu families.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qi Zeshen, then at Gu Nanyuan, and said hesitantly, "I feel that the young lady's actions this time are too loud. Although the Wu and Song families have done a lot of wrong things, they have made too much noise. If the two families counterattack, I am afraid that the Lin family will be implicated. I have come here to ask for your instructions, and I hope you can make a decision."

Qi Zeshen smiled softly upon hearing this, and looked up at Gu Nanyuan: "The Eighth Miss's approach is swift and resolute, and she is indeed a perfect match for you."

Gu Nanyuan smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "She has always been thoughtful and never impulsive. Since she has made the decision, she must have her reasons."

Then he looked at Qingxiang again: "Don't worry, I will leave this matter to her. The Song and Wu families really need to be punished, so that they don't take advantage of their power and bully others too much."

Qingxiang hesitated for a moment and could not help but remind him, "But I am afraid that this matter will become too big. If the Song family and the Wu family join forces..."

Gu Nanyuan's eyes turned cold, but his tone was calm: "If they dare to counterattack, there is no need to show mercy. You don't have to worry, just cooperate with Ruoxuan, there is no need to ask for my opinion."

The Wu couple were extremely worried at the moment. They were discussing countermeasures, but they could not come up with a perfect plan.

Just when they were at their wits' end, a servant came in hurriedly and reported in a panic, "Master, Madam, the third and fifth masters have taken their families to the old lady's yard."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, her face turned pale immediately. She and Mr. Wu looked at each other, and they both understood what this meant.

"We can't go to the old lady," Mrs. Wu tightly grasped Mr. Wu's hand, her tone revealing uneasiness.

"Go to the Song family. The Song family has extensive connections in Beijing, especially Mr. Song. Besides, this matter was caused by Miss Song. Maybe they have a solution."

Mr. Wu frowned in thought, obviously understanding the interests involved.

He whispered, "Yes, let's go find the Song family."

Madam Wu nodded quickly and signaled the servant to go to the stable to prepare the carriage: "Go quickly, prepare the carriage, we will set off immediately."

In a short while, the carriage was ready. The Wu couple hurriedly got on the carriage. The sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and they headed straight for the Song family.

In the courtyard of the old lady of the Wu family.

The families of the third and fifth rooms gathered together and cried continuously.

Madam Wu was particularly emotional, with tears all over her face. She complained in a hoarse voice, "Mother, the Zhou family from the Imperial Hospital was supposed to come today to propose marriage, but what happened? The news of Qing Fu's capture spread all over the capital, and the Zhou family didn't even send a decent man, but just sent a servant to say they wanted to cancel the engagement! My daughter is finished, her life is finished!"

She beat her chest and stamped her feet, saying fiercely: "It's all because of that bitch Wu Qingfu! If she hadn't caused trouble, how could our family have come to this point!

My daughter was counting on this marriage to turn things around, but now it's all ruined! Why is she still alive? How can someone who has ruined the family's reputation still have the nerve to live in this world?"

The Fifth Lady's words were so sharp and harsh that the Old Lady frowned.

The old lady sat at the top, her face full of worry and she looked exhausted.

She was old and not in as good of a shape as she had been before. She felt overwhelmed by the quarrel in the room.

Wu Qingfu is her granddaughter. Although she is not very ambitious, she eventually watched her grow up.

However, the impact of this incident was too great and was beyond her control.

The old lady sighed softly and raised her hand to press her temple.

Looking at the Fifth Madam's excitement, he felt very embarrassed.

She whispered to Nanny Chen beside her, "Go call the eldest and his wife. I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter alone."

Nanny Chen nodded quickly, turned around and left to convey the old lady's words.

The old lady slowed down her tone and advised: "My fifth daughter-in-law, the matter has not yet been fully clarified. Jingzhao Yin has not yet come to a conclusion on what Qingfu did.

Let's not rush to accuse others. Maybe there is still hope. When the boss and the first lady come back, they will have an explanation."

The Fifth Madam did not appreciate it. She wiped her tears and said in a sharp voice, "Old Madam, you are so biased! The girl from our Fifth House was broken off from engagement, and her reputation has been ruined. This matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city!

You are so good, you still favor the eldest wife and don't say a word for us. Our daughter's future is ruined, but you only care about Qingfu!"

The old lady's face became more solemn, and she said slowly: "Qingfu is my granddaughter. If she does something wrong, she must take responsibility.

But things haven't been finalized yet, why rush? Your fifth daughter's marriage... I will find a way for her, but the most urgent thing now is for our family not to panic. "
