Hearing her husband's words of comfort, Sun Rong was slightly startled, and the grievance accumulated in her eyes almost welled up.

She pulled the corners of her mouth, forcing a smile, and said in a gentle voice with a hint of fatigue: "Master, there is no need. The matter has passed. If we continue to pursue it, it will only make us look like we are making a fuss. The old lady is old, and I believe she heard some biased words and had a misunderstanding. It's good that the matter can be settled. There is no need to ask further."

Seeing how generous Sun Rong was, Lin Shiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had no intention of really going to the old lady to investigate the matter, after all, he knew the old lady's temper.

As long as Lotus Sun didn't pursue the matter any further, he would be happy to let it go.

He smiled and nodded, continuing to comfort her: "Madam is indeed virtuous. You are right, mother is old, and it is inevitable that she will listen to some biased words sometimes. The harmony in our family is the most important. I will pay attention in the future and will never let you suffer any grievances again."

After hearing this, although Sun Rong still felt a little bitter, she understood that things had to be like this.

She sighed softly, the grievance in her eyes still not dissipated, and whispered: "Master is right, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything."

The day of the polo match at Zhang's house soon arrived.

The ladies wore exquisite clothes and participated in various activities with laughter, and the scene was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Sun Rong brought several girls from the Lin family to the edge of the field. Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao saw the game of pitching pots and quickly went to play.

The two were having a great time, and laughter floated in the air from time to time.

However, Lin Ruoxuan saw Lin Ruoxue arriving from afar and noticed that she looked a little strange.

"Big sister is here." Lin Ruoxuan said as she put down the pot arrow in her hand.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Ruoqiao also noticed that something was wrong with Lin Ruoxue, and hurriedly followed Lin Ruoxuan over.

Lin Ruoxue looked very dignified in her gorgeous clothes, but she could not hide the tiredness and hidden anxiety on her face.

Although her steps were steady, her eyes were empty and she seemed to be worried about something.

Seeing her sisters coming, Lin Ruoxue forced a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?" Lin Ruoxuan spoke first, her eyes full of concern.

Lin Ruoxue shook her head and said softly: "Nothing, just a little tired."

Lin Ruoxuan heard the perfunctory tone in her words and knew that the situation would never be that simple.

She glanced at Lin Ruoqiao, and they both understood each other tacitly.

Lin Ruoxuan gently held her elder sister's hand and whispered, "Elder sister, we are sisters. If you have something on your mind, you might as well speak up. Don't keep it in your heart. What happened?"

Lin Ruoqiao also advised: "Yes, big sister, if there is anything, we can share it together."

Lin Ruoxue looked at the concerned eyes of her two sisters, and the suppressed emotions in her heart found an outlet.

She sighed softly, the fatigue in her eyes becoming more and more obvious, and she could no longer hide it: "Actually, some things happened at home recently, and I was really exhausted."

"Home? What happened in the Qi family?" Lin Ruoxuan frowned and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Lin Ruoxue nodded, her voice slightly hoarse: "It's the old lady, she started to make trouble again...but this time she didn't give Ze Shen a concubine, but turned to father. She suddenly wanted to give father a concubine, and made the mansion a mess."

"What?" Lin Ruoqiao's eyes widened, with an indignant look on her face, "Giving Lord Qi a concubine? Do Lord Qi and Madam Qi agree?"

"How could I agree?" Lin Ruoxue shook her head helplessly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. "My mother-in-law was already furious and had quarreled with the old lady several times. But the old lady insisted on not giving in, and the whole Qi Mansion was in chaos because of this."

Lin Ruoxuan frowned even more tightly and said in a deep voice: "The old lady is going too far."

Lin Ruoxue smiled bitterly and continued, "This is not the worst. Now the old lady has moved into the mansion in the name of 'promoting filial piety'."

"She said that we, the eldest family, would serve her. I had to get up before dawn every day and stand with my mother-in-law to serve her. I had to stand and wait for her to eat three meals a day, and even wash her feet at night... After these few days of hard work, my body couldn't take it anymore, and even my mother-in-law fell ill."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao were furious, but they looked at each other, knowing that this matter was extremely difficult.

Lin Ruoqiao bit her lower lip, her face full of indignation: "Big sister, how can you bear this kind of injustice? The old lady is simply... simply bullying! Can't you resist?"

Lin Ruoxue shook her head and sighed, "Resist? After all, she is the old lady of the Qi family. She is said to be filial. How can she resist?"

After Lin Ruoqiao heard this, she was immediately furious. She did not hide her anger at all and could not help cursing: "Old Madam Qi is really going too far! The old lady of the Qi family actually did such a thing! What on earth is she thinking!"

She paced back and forth angrily, her hands almost clenched into fists, she was furious but couldn't find an outlet to vent.

Lin Ruoxue looked at her sister like this. Although she felt a little warm in her heart, she also sighed helplessly: "The old lady has always been strong. All we can do is to be patient."

However, Lin Ruoxuan was not as furious as Lin Ruoqiao. A hint of calmness and thought flashed in her eyes. After a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she had an idea in her mind.

She patted Lin Ruoxue's hand gently and said with a smile: "Big sister, don't be anxious. This kind of thing may not be unsolvable. The old lady is obviously not letting the eldest wife have an easy life, but she is using reason, so we can also give her a taste of her own medicine."

Lin Ruoxue was startled and frowned slightly: "Treat others the way they treat you? How can I return it?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled with a bit of cunning. She approached the eldest sister and the seventh girl and whispered, "The old lady forced a concubine into your house in order to torment you. So why don't we do the opposite and scare those concubines so that they will run away on their own. You don't need to take action directly, just use some mysterious means."

"Gods and ghosts?" Lin Ruoqiao opened her eyes wide with curiosity. Her anger seemed to be diluted a little by this. She asked hurriedly, "Eighth sister, what is your plan?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled calmly and said softly, "We can create some illusions of 'haunting' to scare the people in the mansion, especially the new concubines. After all, they are guilty and come to the Qi mansion only to cling to power. These people are most afraid of offending unclean things. When the atmosphere is almost created, let my brother-in-law invite Zou the God to come to the mansion to exorcise the ghosts. We can find an excuse to say that Mr. Qi is missing his beauties in the underworld and wants to take a few 'concubines' away to keep him company."
