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

Lin Ruoxuan nodded: "Within three days, I will rescue all your family members, and then I will send them to Qingzhou to reunite with you."

Zhang Jia's expression was obviously relaxed a little, and there was a flash of hesitation and struggle in her eyes.

After a few breaths, she finally lowered her head, her voice choking with sobs: "Can you really save my family?"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded calmly, without hesitation: "I never make promises easily, and I will never break my promises."

Zhang Jia finally put down the hairpin, tears silently falling.

Her voice was filled with exhaustion and helplessness: "Okay... I believe you."

When Lin Ruoqiao saw that Zhang Jia had agreed, she winked at Lin Ruoxuan, and the two of them understood what he meant.

Lin Ruoxuan knew that the night was long and dreams were many, and she could not delay any longer, so she immediately arranged for someone to escort Zhang Jia out of the capital and head to Qingzhou.

As the carriage that carried Zhang Jia away drove away, Qingji and Qingxiang walked quickly into the yard.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and waited for the report.

"Miss Lin," Qingji spoke first, "We have followed the old lady's nanny and found that she went to a courtyard in the north of the city. There are indeed several people imprisoned in it. I think they should be Zhang Jia's family. Now our people are guarding there to make sure they are not transferred."

Qingxiang then said, "Girl, should we rescue these people or continue to monitor them?"

Lin Ruoxuan pondered for a moment. She knew that she couldn't delay too long, otherwise Old Madam Qi might notice something and even move the person away.

After thinking about it, she said firmly: "We must act in the middle of the night and bring the people out safely without alerting the old lady's people."

Qingji and Qingxiang nodded and left.

After finding Zhang Jia's home, Lin Ruoxuan finally felt relieved.

Only then did she have time to think that Madam Qi's hostility towards the first wife was not as simple as it seemed.

So she asked directly: "Brother-in-law, I have a question,"

She put down the teacup and asked tentatively, "What is the conflict between your first wife and the old lady? The old lady's decision to give her a concubine is clearly aimed at the first wife. Why does she hate you so much?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zeshen's expression darkened slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He sighed deeply, leaned back in his chair, and said with fatigue in his tone: "Grandmother has been complaining about our eldest family for a long time. And the cause of all this may have originated from my eighth uncle."

"After returning to Beijing, my eighth uncle died in my backyard. My grandmother always believed that our eldest wife had him killed. Even though it was clear that we were framed, she just didn't believe it."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "The old lady is really interesting. She is so obviously biased."

Then she patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, we have separated now, otherwise my elder sister would have to endure some torture if she married into your family."

This sentence made both Lin Ruoxue and Qi Zeshen laugh.

The night was as dark as ink, covered with thick clouds, blocking out the already faint moonlight.

Qingji and Qingxiang whispered to the secret guards and rescued the Zhang family quietly from the courtyard in the north of the city.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly. Without alerting anyone, several secret guards successfully escorted the Zhang family out of the capital and headed straight to Qingzhou.

When the team completely disappeared into the darkness, the Yongliang Marquis Mansion still maintained its tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

However, by the time Old Lady Qi learned the news, it was already early morning of the next day.

At this time, the Zhang family had already arrived in Qingzhou safely.

Hearing all this, the old lady was in disbelief at first, and then a surge of anger rushed into her heart, which was almost uncontrollable.

"Asshole!" She smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground. The loud sound made the maids in the room dare not make a sound.

The old lady's face flushed red, and she was shaking with anger. "How dare those two girls treat me like this and send her away without telling me! This Lin Ruoxuan... I will never let her have an easy life!"

Her old hands were clenched tightly, and her knuckles were slightly white from the effort.

The anger in her heart burned like a raging fire. The old lady obviously couldn't accept that she had suffered such a great loss in front of Lin Ruoxuan.

"Old Madam, calm down!" The trusted nanny hurriedly knelt on the ground and comforted her, "It has been confirmed that the first wife did not harm the eighth master, so you should stop hating them. Besides, you are old and can't be so angry anymore. It's not good for your health!"

The anger in the old lady's eyes subsided a little, but she still snorted coldly, her eyes still sharp, "Humph, even if they didn't kill my son, they still don't deserve to have an easy life. How can I be afraid of this little girl Lin Ruoxuan?"

The nanny lowered her head and said thoughtfully, "Madam, the eighth girl of the Lin family now has the support of the Lin family and the Gu family. Ze Shen is also very outstanding. If you fight against them again, I'm afraid it will hurt the reputation and foundation of the Qi family!"

Madam Qi didn't listen to the words of her confidant nanny at all. She said in a tone that did not allow for discussion: "Go, call Marquis Yongliang to me!"

When the maids heard the sound, they immediately went out in fear to pass on the message.

After a while, Marquis Yongliang walked into Madam Qi's room.

"Mother, what is the matter that you called me here for?" Marquis Yongliang asked in a deep voice with a respectful attitude.

Madam Qi said bluntly: "I want you to investigate! Find out who killed Lao Ba! Lao Ba can't die in vain, I want those people to pay the price!"

Yongliang Hou sighed helplessly and shook his head: "Mother, the Jingzhao Yinfu has taken over the investigation of my eighth brother's case. This kind of case has its own laws. How can we get involved? The Jingzhao Yinfu investigated much more carefully than we did. Mother, you should just stay at home and wait for news."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi's face became even gloomier, and her eyes swept towards Yongliang Marquis like a knife, "Wait? I've waited for so long, and you want me to wait any longer? Old Eighth died so tragically, don't you brothers have any thoughts in your hearts? Can the people in Jingzhao Yinfu be trusted? How dedicated can they be?"

Her tone was full of reproach.

Marquis Yongliang felt helpless. He knew that his mother had never let go of her resentment towards the Eighth Brother, but the reality was far more complicated than she had imagined.

He raised his head helplessly, his tone more steady: "Mother, now the matter is no longer something we can interfere with. How can I have the ability and right to participate in the court's case? The death of my eighth brother is certainly heartbreaking, but we can't act on our own. Let's leave it to the law."

Madam Qi's face suddenly changed, and she slammed the table fiercely: "Useless thing! You are still the Marquis of Yongliang, and you can only say such nonsense in front of me! You can't even find the murderer, so what kind of marquis are you? You usually brag so much, but now you don't even dare to avenge your own brother!"
