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

Aunt Zhuang was changing her clothes. Her movements seemed casual, but in fact she was observing Sun Rong's expression from the corner of her eyes, secretly testing her.

She smiled casually and turned the topic to Lin Huaixun: "Sister, Brother Xun has grown up now, right? I remember that he was smart and studied very hard since he was a child. At his age now, I believe he is even better in his studies. There should be a lot of good news, right?"

Lotus Sun smiled and nodded, her eyes gentle and proud. "Xun'er is indeed a sensible child, and his grades have always been good. He will be back to take the imperial examination next year, and my master and I naturally have high hopes for him. However, as a boy, it all depends on his own luck in the end."

Aunt Zhuang smiled gently, with a nonchalant tone of inquiry: "That's really exciting. Speaking of which, Brother Xun is not young anymore. For a child with outstanding talent and appearance like him, I'm sure someone has proposed marriage to him in front of you, right? After all, many families must be eyeing such an outstanding child."

Sun Rong's eyes moved slightly, and she began to understand Aunt Zhuang's intentions to some extent.

But she still maintained a gentle smile and said calmly, "Of course someone has mentioned it, but after all, the imperial examination is coming up, so I still hope that he can concentrate on the exam. We can talk about other things after he passes this test."

Aunt Zhuang's eyes flashed with anxiety, but she didn't show it on her face. She continued with a smile and said, "Sister is right. The imperial examination is the top priority. We really can't be distracted."

"However, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Getting married is also a major event in life, and it will have to be put on the agenda sooner or later. Sister, have you found a suitable family for Xun brother?"

Sun Rong smiled slightly, having already sensed Aunt Zhuang's temptation.

She said calmly, "We have always valued fate, and we think that there is no need to rush for Brother Xun's matter. If there is fate, it will naturally come to fruition. Why did my sister suddenly bring up this matter today? Is there someone you want to introduce?"

Having said this, Lotus Sun's eyes gently fell on Aunt Zhuang, with a hint of teasing and curiosity.

Aunt Zhuang saw that Sun Rong had said this and knew that she had noticed her intention.

She stopped beating around the bush and put on a dignified look with a slightly formal tone: "Since my sister has said so, I won't beat around the bush. In fact, I have always felt that our third daughter, Qin Jie'er, and Xun Ge'er are a good match. They are both from educated families and have similar personalities. I thought that if I could let Qin Jie'er marry Xun Ge'er, the two families would be even closer, and it would be a good match for her."

Sun Rong gently patted Aunt Zhuang's hand, smiling, and spoke in a gentle but measured tone: "I understand your intentions, sister. Qin Jie'er is a good child, and I like her very much. But Xun'er's marriage will ultimately depend on his opinion. After all, the children in my family all have their own opinions. Xun'er is about to take the imperial examination, and the matter will be officially put on the agenda after he returns. He will be back in a few days, and I will let him and Qin Jie'er meet. If they are destined to be together, it will naturally be a good thing."

She was unwilling to refuse directly, but also did not want to make a promise easily, so she had to delay by saying "it depends on fate".

After hearing this, Aunt Zhuang knew that Lotus Sun had not completely agreed, but she didn't want to continue to force her.

She could only smile slightly, with a bit of pleading and helplessness in her tone: "Sister, you are right. Marriage is a big matter. It really depends on the children's own wishes. However, Qin Jie'er also cares about Xun Ge'er in her heart. If the meeting fails this time, I have nothing to say. But please allow me, sister, can you wait until Xun Ge'er and Qin Jie'er meet before you want to meet with others."

Seeing Aunt Zhuang like this, Sun Rong felt a little helpless, but it was not easy to refuse on the spot.

She sighed and nodded: "Since my sister said so, I can't be too unkind. Let's wait until Brother Xun and Sister Qin meet each other before making other plans."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhuang felt a little relieved and showed a grateful smile on her face: "Thank you for your understanding, sister. I also know that marriage cannot be forced. I just hope that Brother Xun and Sister Qin can have a good result."

Sun Rong smiled slightly, took Aunt Zhuang's hand, and said softly, "We are all a family. Whether this succeeds or not, it's all for the good of the child."

In the front hall.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue walked in side by side, with graceful postures and outstanding looks. The two sisters were dressed in simple dresses, but still looked dazzling.

Lin Ruoxue has always been gentle and quiet, with a calm and composed expression, while Lin Ruoxuan is a little more lively, with a bit of smartness in her eyes.

However, when the two walked into the front hall, almost all eyes on the scene fell on Lin Ruoxuan.

Zou and Zeng stood up eagerly and greeted them with smiles on their faces, as if they didn't see Lin Ruoxue standing next to them.

"Oh, Ruoxuan is here! We've been waiting for you."

Zou took the lead and stepped forward to hold Lin Ruoxuan's hand, with a friendly smile on her face and a flattering tone, "You have been busy preparing for the wedding recently, right? I heard that the Gu family has made very thorough preparations. Ruoxuan, you are so lucky!"

Zeng was not to be outdone, and immediately agreed, "Yes, Ruoxuan, your marriage is a big event in our capital. I heard that the Gu family has already started to prepare for it. The wedding date is getting closer and closer. Are you also very nervous?"

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Zou and Zeng smiling so attentively, and she already understood what they were thinking.

There was a faint smile on her face, but there was a hint of alienation in her eyes.

Facing their enthusiastic inquiries, Lin Ruoxuan just smiled politely and said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. I am a little busy, but with mother and everyone helping me at home, it is not too hard."

After she finished speaking, she turned slightly to the side and looked at Lin Ruoxue, smiling and saying to her, "Big sister, I heard from mother these days that the Qi family is also busy preparing for the wedding, so you should not tire yourself out."

Lin Ruoxue had a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "It's okay. My family is busy, so I don't worry too much."

Her tone was as calm as ever, her words were concise, but revealed a restrained gentleness.

However, Zou and Zeng seemed to have not heard Lin Ruoxue's words at all. Their eyes were always focused on Lin Ruoxuan, and they completely ignored Lin Ruoxue's existence.

Zou continued with a smile, "Ruoxuan, you are the busiest person in the Lin family now. The Gu family must value you very much."

Lin Ruoxuan was secretly unhappy, knowing that Zou and Zeng were eyeing her marriage and didn't care about her elder sister's situation at all.

Although she didn't want to deal with the two of them any more, she had to continue to deal with them politely: "Thank you for your concern, aunt."
