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

The two of them instantly regained their well-behaved appearance, with an attitude that it had nothing to do with them, their expressions were calm and composed, and they did not want to get involved in the dispute.

Gu Nanyuan and the others couldn't help but smile when they saw the two sisters' quick and decisive reactions, knowing that they had made up their minds not to care about this "family affair".

Zhang Mo chuckled and shook his head: "You are smart. You know what to take care of and what not to take care of."

Lin Ruoqiao muttered, "In a scene like this, it's best for us to sit down and watch the show."

As the noise intensified, the crowd began to gather and the situation got a little out of control.

Madam Zhang, Sun Rong, and Madam Yu arrived one after another. As soon as they appeared, the noise at the scene gradually quieted down, and the ladies' discussions gradually disappeared.

Madam Zhang, as the host, was the first to break the silence. She looked calm and glanced at Lin Ruoxi, Lin Ruoying, and the two girls from the Yu family. She said softly, "Today is a festive day. It's really wrong to cause such a thing."

Although her words were soft, they contained authority.

Sun Rong's face was solemn. She walked up to Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying, looked at them coldly, and said sternly, "There are so many distinguished people here today, and you two don't know how to restrain yourselves. You dare to quarrel and fight in public, and you have lost the face of the Lin family!"

Madam Yu was also merciless to her two daughters. She frowned and scolded them, "You are the same. The daughter of the Minister of Rites is so ignorant of propriety? It's not decent to quarrel over such a small matter!"

Several girls were scolded so hard that they lowered their heads and kept silent, their faces flushed with shame. For a moment, no one dared to speak out in rebuttal.

Sun Rong took a deep breath, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, and immediately said to Madam Yu, "Since this is an unintentional dispute among the younger generations, let them apologize today and let the matter rest."

Madam Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's exactly what should be done."

Therefore, Lin Ruoxi, Lin Ruoying and the girl from the Yu family had to admit their mistakes and apologize to each other in front of everyone.

Although the words were a bit perfunctory, in this situation, enough face had been given and the matter came to a temporary end.

Sun Rong and Madam Yu looked at each other, and both understood that this matter should not be continued.

However, after this happened, Lotus Sun was in no mood to stay any longer. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was still somewhat disappointed with her daughters' performance.

She called Lin Ruoxuan, Lin Ruoqiao, and her older sister Lin Ruoxue, and signaled them to go home.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao responded obediently and followed their mother to leave.

Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen naturally would not fall behind. Seeing that the Lin family members were preparing to leave, they followed immediately.

However, Zhang Mo and Song Zhennan seemed a little hesitant. They wanted to go to the Lin family, but they had no identity, so they could only stay and wait for news.

Zhang Mo thought about his feelings for Lin Ruoqiao, and then looked at Song Zhennan beside him. He gritted his teeth and asked tentatively: "Brother Song, are you still interested in the seventh girl of the Lin family?"

When Song Zhennan heard this question, he was slightly stunned, and then he regained his composure: "Of course I am interested. If I can marry her, I will naturally be willing."

When Zhang Mo heard this, his heart sank suddenly and a complicated look appeared on his face.

He also had feelings for Lin Ruoqiao, but Song Zhennan and he were good friends.

Zhang Mo sighed inwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He looked at Song Zhennan's face and thought silently in his heart: Since Song Zhennan is so determined, how can I not hurt their brotherhood and at the same time retain the opportunity to pursue Lin Ruoqiao?

Since he wants to win the beauty, he must find a clever way.

Lin.

After returning, Sun Rong asked the third and fifth girls to kneel in the ancestral hall.

They knelt on the cold ground, their faces filled with fear and regret, their heads lowered, not daring to look at anyone.

Their knees were already aching, but what frightened them even more was the severe punishment they might face next.

Lotus Sun stood aside calmly, with no emotion on her face.

Although she is their biological mother, today's incident concerns the future of all the girls in the Lin family and cannot be easily condoned.

She asked the servants to invite the old lady, Lin Shiyuan and other children.

When they all arrived at the ancestral hall, she began to tell the story of what happened at the polo game.

"Today at the polo match at Zhang's residence, the third and fifth girls had a fight with the fourth and fifth girls of the Yu family, the Minister of Rites, because of a momentary dispute. Everyone knew about it."

Lotus Sun's voice was steady, but every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart. "Not only does this bring shame to the Lin family, but it will also make outsiders think that our children are uneducated and have no rules. If such a thing gets out, it will have a negative impact on our entire Lin family."

Lin Shiyuan's face turned livid instantly. Looking at Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying kneeling on the ground, his chest was instantly ignited with anger. His eyes were cold and his voice was filled with great disappointment: "How could you two do such a shameful thing? Do you still have the rules of the Lin family in your eyes?!"

Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying were so frightened by their father's angry rebuke that they trembled all over, tears streaming down their cheeks uncontrollably. Only at this moment did they truly realize the seriousness of the matter.

Lin Shiyuan's anger did not subside. He looked at Sun Rong coldly and said in a deep voice, "Since they are so shameless and do not follow the rules, they must be severely punished! Punish them to kneel in the ancestral hall for five days and reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors for three months. They are not allowed to step out of the door."

Hearing this severe punishment, Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying were completely panicked and cried for mercy: "Father, we were wrong! We really know we were wrong, please forgive us this time!"

They cried so hard that their tears wet their clothes.

Lin Ruoxi turned her head to look at the old lady and begged in a tearful voice, "Grandma, please save us! We will be obedient in the future and never dare to do it again!"

The old lady frowned, feeling sorry for her two granddaughters. She was about to plead for them, but before she could say anything, Lin Shiyuan interrupted her in a harsh voice: "Mother, you can't protect them anymore!"

"There is no order without rules. If we keep spoiling these two children, they will only become more and more lawless. If they make bigger mistakes in the future, won't that ruin them?"

The old lady was shocked by her son's tone. She swallowed the words back and fell into silence.

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall became even more depressing. The crying of Lin Ruoxi and Lin Ruoying still echoed in the empty hall, but Lin Shiyuan's attitude was already very firm.

Seeing their father's determined expression, they felt regretful again, knowing that no matter how much they begged, they could not escape the punishment this time.
