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

When the two of them took a look, they discovered that there were several pairs of beautiful gold and silver jewelry inside, with exquisite styles and extremely fine workmanship.

Lin Ruoxuan smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law, it's so beautiful, my seventh sister and I like it very much!"

Lin Ruoqiao also echoed: "It's really beautiful, brother-in-law is so thoughtful."

The two were immersed in the joy of receiving the gifts.

However, this harmonious atmosphere was broken by the sarcasm and ridicule of Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying.

After Lin Ruoxi received the gift, she first lowered her head to glance at it, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared.

She raised her eyebrows with a look of disdain, and then said, "Although this jewelry is exquisite, it seems a little...cheap, right? Brother-in-law, this is a return gift, such a gift is a bit shabby."

Lin Ruoying also echoed, with a critical tone: "Yes, if these jewelry were seen by others, they would probably be laughed at."

The two of them were criticizing and smiling in a relaxed manner, as if they were joking, but the contempt in their eyes was not concealed at all.

Lin Ruoxuan took immediate action with decisive movements. She snatched the gifts from the third and fifth girls without hesitation. There was a hint of irony on her face. Her tone was light but pointed: "Since the third and fifth sisters dislike this gift, then don't take it, so as not to bother you."

By the time Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying reacted, the gifts in their hands had already landed firmly in the hands of Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao.

"Thank you, Third Sister and Fifth Sister. Since you don't like it, we won't be polite." Lin Ruoqiao smiled innocently, "This gift is really exquisite. My Eighth Sister and I like it very much."

The third and fifth girls were so angry that their faces turned pale, especially Lin Ruoxi, who had always felt that she was of noble status and had never had her things taken away so directly, let alone in front of so many people.

She was so angry that her eyes widened and she said angrily: "Lin Ruoxuan, you——!"

"Why, Third Sister, you want to go back now?" Lin Ruoxuan narrowed her eyes and smiled like a cold wind. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife. She interrupted Lin Ruoxi's words directly, "You just said you disliked me. What's wrong now? Do you regret it again?"

Lin Ruoqiao added sarcastically, "You were disgusted just now, why do you want to go back now? It's really strange. People should have some backbone."

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows, her face full of contempt, "If you don't like it, don't take it. Anyway, we don't mind having more."

The third and fifth girls blushed at these words. They wanted to retort, but felt embarrassed and were speechless for a moment.

They were angry and embarrassed, shaking with rage, with a fire in their hearts that they had no place to vent, yet they didn't know what to do.

At this time, Lotus Sun hurried over and said, "Alright, alright, you're all grown up, but you're still acting like children, fighting over a few pieces of jewelry. How can that be? Besides, you guys are all old enough to get married, so why are you still quarreling like you were children?"

Her tone was gentle, but it carried a hint of invisible majesty, reminding everyone to be careful and behave properly.

However, Sun Rong did not mention asking Lin Ruoxuan to return the gift.

After hearing what her mother said, Lin Ruoxuan stopped making things difficult. The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a faint expression. She held the gift in her hand tighter, with no intention of returning it.

Seeing this, the third and fifth girls could only lower their heads in depression.

They couldn't win an argument, let alone a fight, so they could only endure it.

After the return banquet, Lin Ruoxue looked a little sad. She whispered to Lin Ruoxuan, "I want to go to the temple to fulfill my wish."

As soon as Lin Ruoxuan heard it, she understood Lin Ruoxue's true intention and knew that she could not let go of the unborn child in her heart.

She held Lin Ruoxue's hand and nodded: "Big sister, I will go with you."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoqiao also expressed her willingness to go.

The three sisters went to the temple together.

As Gu Nanyuan was busy with official duties, he was unable to go with them, but he was worried about Lin Ruoxuan, so he sent Qingji to escort and protect them throughout the journey.

Along the way, the three tried to chat in a light-hearted tone, but the atmosphere was mixed with a hint of heaviness that could not be concealed.

Lin Ruoxue looked into the distance from time to time, and the sadness between her brows could never be erased.

The temple is filled with incense, the bells ring melodiously, and the air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

When the three sisters stepped into the temple, they were enveloped by the peaceful atmosphere. The distracting thoughts in their hearts faded away, leaving only their feelings.

Lin Ruoxue walked into the worship hall alone, where there was a tablet specially set up for her unborn child.

She knelt down slowly, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently.

The corners of her eyes were slightly moist, but she still pursed her lips, trying to suppress the grief in her heart.

Things are unpredictable, and the child did not come into the world, which became a pain in her heart.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao stood in the yard waiting. They looked at each other and sighed knowingly.

Lin Ruoqiao said with emotion: "Big sister must be very sad. If the child was still alive, big sister should be happy now."

Lin Ruoxuan was silent for a moment, with a trace of sadness in her eyes. She said softly, "The world is unpredictable. There are some things we cannot change."

Her voice was soft, but it was filled with deep emotion and helplessness.

"The world is so unpredictable, it really makes people sigh." Lin Ruoqiao stroked his sleeves gently, turned his head slightly to look towards the temple in the distance, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes fell on the hall in the distance, with mixed feelings: "We can't control the arrangement of fate. The only thing we can do is to cherish the people in front of us and not let regrets happen again."

Lin Ruoqiao nodded in agreement.

When Lin Ruoxue came out of the worship hall, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was still pale, obviously she had been crying for a long time.

She gently wiped away her tears with her sleeve and tried to force a smile, but the sadness in her eyes was still hard to conceal.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Lin Ruoxue's voice was a little hoarse.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao looked at each other and didn't say much. They just stayed by their elder sister's side silently.

The three sisters walked forward together, ready to ask the abbot for a fortune-telling.

When I walked to the door, I suddenly saw two familiar figures appear in front of me - Song Yuqing and Song Yuxin.

At this moment, Lin Ruoqiao felt her heart tighten.

After all, every time I met Song Yuqing in the past, nothing good happened. Especially since that conflict, Song Yuqing has been full of hostility towards the girl from the Lin family.

However, to the three's surprise, Song Yuqing did not provoke them this time as usual.

On the contrary, she came over with a gentle smile on her face and greeted them: "Miss Lin, long time no see."

His tone was gentle, totally unlike the usual harsh Song Yuqing.
