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

Marquis Yongliang looked helpless and stood there, not knowing how to respond.

"Mother, I understand your anger, but all we can do now is wait." Yongliang Hou's voice was still calm, but his tone revealed an unchangeable reality.

He was not willing to argue with Madam Qi any more. After all, the matter involved many things, and if the Qi family acted rashly, it would only make the situation worse.

The anger in Madam Qi's eyes burned even more fiercely. She glared at Marquis Yongliang fiercely and shouted angrily: "You can't even avenge your own brother. How dare you sit in the position of Marquis Yongliang!"

Marquis Yongliang felt somewhat annoyed when he heard his mother's fierce accusations.

But he still controlled his emotions: "Mother, I really can't do anything now, please wait for the result of Jingzhao Yinfu."

After saying this, he bowed slightly and said goodbye to Madam Qi.

Seeing that her second son also looked down upon her, Old Lady Qi was so angry that she couldn't even utter a word.

In the evening, Hongya and Luqiao were excited, and their voices were full of joy: "Girls, I heard that the Xie family store in the east of the city opened today, and the scene is very lively. There are also juggling performances, light shows, and all kinds of food and small toys. Let's go and take a look?"

Lin Ruoxuan was reading in the study room. She looked up when she heard the words and became curious.

She had been dealing with things at home these days and was indeed a little bored, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's a good time to go and relax."

So the three of them made some preparations and headed to the east of the city with their maids and guards.

When we arrived near Xie's shop, we found that the opening scene was extremely lively just as the rumors said.

The eastern part of the city was already brightly lit, the streets were crowded with people, and colorful lanterns dotted the entire night sky.

Various vendors hawked unique snacks and novel gadgets, the air was filled with noise and laughter.

"Girl, look at the circus show over there, the crowd is packed with people!" Lu Qiao pointed to a place not far away, her voice full of excitement.

Hongya noticed that there was a big sign hanging at the entrance with the admission price written on it: "Girl, if you want to go in, you need ten cents per person. The price is not low." She said softly.

Lin Ruoxuan nodded and smiled softly: "It looks lively, the money is worth it."

She asked Hongya to pay the money, and the three of them entered the venue smoothly.

As soon as she entered the venue, Lin Ruoxuan was immediately attracted by the prosperous scene before her.

The overwhelming colorful lights and the dazzling array of stalls are dazzling.

There were also performers performing juggling acts on a stage set up in the center, and street vendors were selling fresh delicacies that were fragrant and mouth-watering.

However, when Lin Ruoxuan was immersed in the excitement and joy, she accidentally glanced at a corner in front of her and saw a familiar figure.

She was stunned for a moment, and her eyes instantly focused there - Gu Nanyuan.

Gu Nanyuan was standing in front of a stall with a strange woman standing next to him.

The woman had gentle features and was wearing plain yet exquisite clothes. She stood side by side with Gu Nanyuan.

The two were talking in low voices, laughing and smiling, and seemed to have a very close relationship.

Lin Ruoxuan's heart trembled and her brows wrinkled slightly involuntarily.

Gu Nanyuan has no brothers or sisters, so this woman is obviously not a relative.

Then, her relationship with Gu Nanyuan is definitely not simple.

"Miss, is that... the prince?" Hong Ya also saw this scene and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Hongya and Luqiao immediately became nervous when they saw the change in Lin Ruoxuan's expression.

The two men hurriedly stepped forward and carefully advised: "Girl, don't think too much, what if it's the prince's relative? The prince has always had only you in his heart, this is something everyone knows."

Lu Qiao also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, young lady, instead of guessing here, why don't we go back and ask clearly. The prince must have you in his heart, why bother about a strange woman?"

Lin Ruoxuan listened to what the two said, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at them calmly.

Hongya and Luqiao thought their girl would listen to their advice, but they didn't expect Lin Ruoxuan to suddenly smile coldly, as if she found their words very funny.

She suddenly quickened her pace and said coldly, "Instead of making random guesses, why not go and ask directly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxuan strode towards Gu Nanyuan.

Hongya and Luqiao were shocked by this sudden change and hurried to catch up.

The two looked at each other, feeling that the development of the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Miss, you...are you really planning to ask the prince directly?" Hong Ya asked hesitantly.

Lin Ruoxuan didn't look back, her eyes were firm, and her tone was not hesitant at all: "Yes, since you have doubts in your heart, why don't you just ask them directly? Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"

Hongya and Luqiao fell silent immediately and dared not to persuade her any further.

When Gu Nanyuan was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure running towards him.

It’s Lin Ruoxuan.

With a big smile on her face, she ran towards him lightly.

When Gu Nanyuan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he felt warm in his heart.

Before he could make any move, Lin Ruoxuan had already thrown herself into his arms.

Instinctively, Gu Nanyuan immediately reached out to protect her and hugged her tightly, fearing that she would fall if she ran too fast.

Lin Ruoxuan snuggled into his arms and said coquettishly, "I want to eat the Xie family's signature dish, but unfortunately the restaurant is overcrowded and I can't get in. Can you think of a way?"

Her voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness, and her face was full of anticipation.

Gu Nanyuan looked at Lin Ruoxuan in his arms, his eyes full of doting, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He has always loved Lin Ruoxuan and almost never rejected any of her requests, let alone such a simple wish.

He patted her back gently, and said in a gentle tone: "You are always so willful. But, whatever you want, I will get it for you."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, her eyes lit up and her smile became even sweeter.

She raised her face and looked at him expectantly: "Then go and help me find a solution! I've been thinking about it since this morning!"

Gu Nanyuan looked at her like this and couldn't help but chuckle.

He nodded, then turned around and told Qingji who was standing beside him: "Go find the young master of the Xie family and ask him to make sure to arrange a table for us."

When Qingji received the order, he immediately responded, "Yes, sir, I will do it right away."

He also found it funny in his heart. The young master was usually cold and reserved, but when he met Lin Ruoxuan, he immediately became tender and affectionate, and had no resistance at all.

Lin Yuxi stood aside, her eyes fixed on Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan.

Just now, she also expressed her desire to try the Xie family's signature dishes, and she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that Gu Nanyuan might make an exception for her and arrange it personally.
