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

"Miss, the Song and Wu families' charcoal shops and brocade clothing shops have increased their prices again," Hong Ya reported, frowning slightly, "and the prices have doubled. Now many aristocratic families are a little dissatisfied with their price increase."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, she was not surprised at all, as if everything was within her expectations.

"In previous years, these businesses would only adjust their prices around December. It's only the end of October, and the Song and Wu families have already raised their prices significantly ahead of schedule. This is really abnormal, and it's normal for everyone to be dissatisfied."

Hong Ya looked at Lin Ruoxuan and asked tentatively, "Should we continue to purchase goods? Or should we wait for the price to stabilize?"

Lin Ruoxuan narrowed her eyes, and a shrewd light flashed in them.

"Keep buying." She said in a firm voice without hesitation, "Buy all the goods they have now, and try to get as much as possible. Once their goods are gone, we will have to run out of stock."

"Okay, girl, I'll arrange it right away."

Hongya left after she finished speaking.

Afterwards, Lin Ruoxuan thought for a while alone, her fingers gently stroking the teacup on the table.

After thinking for a moment, she whispered, "Someone come."

Then he told his plan to the secret guard: "Tell this to the prince."

The secret guard nodded and retreated silently.

Lin Ruoxuan gazed at the blue sky in the distance outside the window and sighed softly.

In short, she told Gu Nanyuan about her plan. As for whether he told Song Zhennan or not, it was his business.

At the same time, the Zhang family sent an invitation to the polo match, and specifically invited Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao to attend.

When the third girl Lin Ruoxi learned of the invitation from the Zhang family, she was furious.

She sat in the room, her hands tightly clenched at her sleeves, her eyes sweeping over everything in the room like a knife.

The Zhang family actually specifically asked Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao to go. Where would she put her face?

"Why does she do that?!" Lin Ruoxi stood up suddenly and angrily threw the porcelain on the table to the ground. The crisp sound of the porcelain breaking echoed in the room, as if it could slightly ease the anger in her heart.

She paced back and forth in the room, feeling more and more humiliated the more she thought about it.

"She, Lin Ruoxuan, is just relying on the fact that she is the legitimate daughter! I don't believe that she can always step on my head!" Lin Ruoxi sneered with a cold look in her eyes.

If she continues to sit idly by, she will only become more and more marginalized.

Something must be done. We can't let Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao attend the polo match in glory.

After calming down a little, Lin Ruoxi knew that she couldn't fight alone.

She tidied herself up and turned to walk towards Lin Ruoying's yard.

Lin Ruoying has always been weak and has no opinion of her own, making her a chess piece that can be used.

When Lin Ruoxi pushed the door open, Lin Ruoying was fiddling with the embroidered handkerchief on the table out of boredom.

Seeing the third sister coming, Lin Ruoying stood up hurriedly, with a little surprise on her face: "Third sister, why are you here?"

Lin Ruoxi pretended to be calm, but her tone was full of gunpowder: "You know about the polo match at the Zhang Mansion, right? They only invited Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao."

Lin Ruoying was stunned: "Only invited them? What about us?"

"Oh, they naturally won't remember us." Lin Ruoxi sneered, with a bit of sarcasm, "As concubines, should we just swallow our anger? Do they think that this will make us bow our heads and admit defeat?"

Lin Ruoying was aroused by these words, and her originally depressed expression gradually turned into anger: "Then what should we do?"

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi knew that the time was almost right, so she gently patted Lin Ruoying's hand and said coldly: "Of course we can't just let it go. We must go to the polo match at Zhang's house this time! Let them see that we are no worse than them!"

Lin Ruoying was ignited by Lin Ruoxi's words and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll listen to my third sister, let's go together!"

Lin Ruoxi thought about it while clutching the handkerchief tightly.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao have repeatedly been in the spotlight, but she has always been ignored. This feeling of humiliation burns her heart like fire.

She narrowed her eyes, and the only person who could help her quickly appeared in her mind—the old lady.

Although both sisters were concubines' daughters, in the old lady's heart, there was no difference between concubines' daughters and legitimate daughters.

"Let's go find grandma!" A cunning light flashed in Lin Ruoxi's eyes.

She continued in a low voice: "The only one who can suppress the Sun family is grandma."

After listening to this, Lin Ruoying was moved by the third girl's idea.

She nodded and said firmly, "Okay, let's go together."

The two of them walked towards the old lady's yard.

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, the two looked at each other. Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly and then walked in.

They were thinking about how to make the matter sound more reasonable, or even to win the old lady's sympathy.

"Grandma," Lin Ruoxi bowed respectfully, and Lin Ruoying followed closely, also bowing her head and saluting, appearing to be particularly polite.

The old lady glanced at the two of them and asked, "Why did you two find time to come to my place today?"

Lin Ruoxi choked up before she could even say anything.

The old lady asked hurriedly: "Hey, what's wrong? Tell grandma if you have any grievances."

Lin Ruoying rushed to say, "Grandma, the Zhang family sent an invitation to the polo match, but mother only wanted to let my seventh and eighth sisters go. She didn't consider the situation of us concubines at all. We really feel wronged."

Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath, with a bit of reluctance and grievance in her eyes, and added: "Grandmother, although my sisters and I are concubines, we are also the flesh and blood of the Lin family. Every time there is such an occasion, mother always lets the seventh and eighth sisters go. They always stand out, but we don't even have the chance to see the world!"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, as if the grievances she had endured for so long had finally found an outlet to express.

Seeing her third sister like this, Lin Ruoying quickly agreed, her voice soft but anxious: "Yes, grandma, we don't ask for anything, we just hope to have some opportunities to see the world and not be looked down upon by outsiders."

The old lady's eyes darkened slightly as she listened to their accusations.

She was naturally aware that the status of a concubine's daughter was not as high as that of a legitimate daughter, but what the two said was not entirely unreasonable.

Although Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying are concubines' daughters, they will eventually get married. If they go out more often, they can also meet some important people.

Sun Rong's arrangement this time was indeed a bit inappropriate. If it were to get to the ears of outsiders, it would probably have an impact on the Lin family.

The old lady gently put down the teacup, raised her eyes and looked at the two granddaughters in front of her. Her voice was gentle but majestic: "Your mother is a little inconsiderate in this matter. I will ask her to come and ask clearly. You can go back with peace of mind."

Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying looked at each other and were secretly delighted, knowing that things had taken a turn for the better.
