The reason why Lin Ruoxuan is so confident is that she relies on the fact that she has lived a second life and has some understanding of these people, so she is like this.
She walked slowly to Fu'an Hall, and even had the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.
You know, ever since Liu Xiaoniang took charge of the family in the previous life, she has never seen the garden designed by her mother in the Lin family again.
Lin Ruoxuan walked to Fu'an Hall step by step with a lot on her mind, waiting for news from Fu'an Hall's mother.
She didn't have to wait too long. After a moment, Fu'antang's mother came out and respectfully invited her into the house.
Lin Ruoxuan didn't even look around the room. She just bowed her head and said, "Granddaughter greets grandmother."
"Where are your mother and your eldest sister?"
The old lady sitting at the top was holding a string of shiny Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyes half open, as if she had fallen asleep.
Lin Ruoxuan didn't look at the old lady, nor at the sisters sitting around. She just lowered her head and said respectfully, "Grandma, my eldest sister is in poor health and has just experienced a big event. I'm afraid she can't come to pay her respects to you right now. My mother is also worried about my eldest sister, so she specially asked her granddaughter to come and say hello to you."
"say hello?"
The old lady repeated it, snorted and laughed, suddenly threw the Buddhist beads on the table, and changed her previous kind expression and shouted:
"Does your mother still have me as her mother? She didn't discuss Xue Jie'er's divorce with me, an old woman. Now when I asked her to come over to pay her respects to me, she refuses to do so. Does she still have me as her mother in her eyes?"
Seeing the kind-looking old lady suddenly turn into a furious King Kong, Lin Ruoxuan was not surprised at all. She clenched the corner of her clothes and was about to speak, but she heard Lin Ruoxi beside her say softly:
"Eighth sister is quite comfortable. After all, Eighth sister has been engaged for a long time, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to get married. Unlike us, we have a divorced sister in the family, which will affect our marriage in the future."
"Third sister, what you said is not right. Even though Eighth sister is already engaged, the big sister's divorce is making a lot of noise now. I'm afraid Eighth sister may not get a good result."
The one who spoke was the sixth girl, Lin Ruoting, who was from the same mother as Lin Ruoxi. Although she tried her best to cover it up, she still couldn't hide the gloating in her voice.
As soon as Lin Ruoting finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoniang's fifth daughter, Lin Ruoying, snorted, "Sixth sister, what you said is not right. Even if Eighth sister's marriage was cancelled, she is a legitimate daughter, and mother will definitely care about her."
"Alas, it's also our fault that we didn't live up to our expectations and were not born into a good family. Otherwise, who would need to worry about ruining their reputation?"
Several people were talking to each other, obviously trying to bully Lin Ruoxuan on purpose.
In her previous life, Lin Ruoxuan paid the most attention to the illusory reputation they talked about. Because of their ridicule, she turned around and cried to Sun Rong, forcing her elder sister to die.
Unfortunately, the person they are facing now is Lin Ruoxuan, who has died once and has long since lost interest in fame.
She lowered her head and skimmed the foam on the tea bowl, as if what the three of them were talking about was not her, and looked as if it had nothing to do with her.
Lin Ruoxuan's nonchalant attitude made Lin Ruoxi and the others feel powerless, as if they were punching cotton.
After all, the two younger sisters are young. Even though Lin Ruoying is like a firecracker on weekdays, she feels bored when she meets Lin Ruoxuan who has no emotional fluctuations, and she is too lazy to confront her.
But Lin Ruoxi is different. She is the third daughter in the family and has always been highly praised by others, so marrying into a wealthy family is not a problem for her.
In the past two years, she has reached the age for engagement and marriage. She is proud and arrogant, and has even declared that she will not marry anyone other than the legitimate wife of a noble family.
Now that Lin Ruoxue is getting divorced, she is the first one to be affected. How can she swallow her anger and consider herself the first to bear the brunt of the attack?
She picked up the teacup and took two big gulps of water, then spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Eighth sister is silent now. Is she feeling proud? It's a pity. Noble families always value family traditions and reputations, not to mention the Gu family with great military achievements. Not to mention that the three of us sisters won't be able to marry well, I'm afraid... Eighth sister's own marriage will also be affected!"
As she spoke, Lin Ruoxi said with a half sour and half gloating tone: "Eighth sister, please be careful, don't one day... receive a letter of withdrawal of engagement from the Marquis' Mansion unexpectedly. By then, Eighth sister will have nowhere to cry even if she wants to, right?"
"It's such a big deal, so I won't bother Third Sister to worry about it."
"Whether my sister's marriage will be called off, no one knows, but I think that Master Gu is still paying attention to my sister."
Lin Ruoxuan put down the tea bowl in her hand. She looked at Lin Ruoxi calmly, with a smile on her face. "Third sister, you don't know yet? When we went to the Ou family to get a divorce today, the prince specially asked Qingji to accompany us, for fear that his sister would be bullied."
Lin Ruoxuan raised her right hand again, revealing the emerald green bracelet on her wrist intentionally or unintentionally. She couldn't help but sigh, "In my opinion, the prince is really generous. He gave me the heirloom so easily. He wasn't afraid that I would break the bracelet."
"what?"
Not to mention Lin Ruoxi's distorted expression, the old lady sitting high on the seat immediately became excited when she heard these words.
At this moment, the old lady no longer closed her eyes. She was no longer deaf and blind. She just stared at Lin Ruoxuan excitedly and asked anxiously, "Xuan Jie'er, is what you said true?"
"Grandma, you are joking. How can this be fake? Even if I want to fake it, I can't get such a good bracelet to fool you, right?"
Seeing Lin Ruoxuan so calm, and thinking of her marriage with the Gu family, the old lady suddenly realized.
This girl was not acting on impulse when it came to the matter of divorce. If you think about it carefully, it is clear that she was relying on the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to be so arrogant!
After weighing the pros and cons, the old lady gradually softened and said kindly: "Xuan Jie'er, grandma is not criticizing you, but you must not be so reckless in the future, otherwise-"
Listening to the old lady's words, Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up. It would be the best thing to let her grandmother deal with this damn girl.
Unexpectedly, the old lady changed the subject and said, "Otherwise, if you were injured, how distressed would I be? You really don't need to take action against those filthy people in the Ou family."
"Your marriage with the Gu family is just around the corner. You must devote all your energy to preparing for the wedding and not let other things distract you."
Hearing the old lady's high-sounding words, Lin Ruoxuan lowered her head quickly, fearing that she would not be able to hold back her laughter: "Yes, granddaughter understands."
After the tension between the grandparents and grandchildren eased, the atmosphere in the entire Fu'an Hall became much better.
The old lady ignored the jealous looks of Lin Ruoxi and the other two and asked Lin Ruoxuan in a gentle voice, "Xuan Jie'er, now that Xue Jie'er is back, where are you going to place her?"
Without waiting for Lin Ruoxuan to answer, she continued, "There is a three-story house in Yuying Lane. I think it's good. Sister Xue is pregnant and needs some quiet time. That house is perfect for her."
