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

Sun Rong watched this scene, and although she felt reluctant, she knew that she had to punish them severely today so that these children would truly understand the importance of family rules.

She spoke softly, with a warning tone in her voice: "I hope you two will reflect on what you have done during this period. During these days of kneeling in the ancestral hall, think clearly about your mistakes. Only by understanding the rules can you avoid bringing disgrace to the Lin family."

Lin Shiyuan nodded, turned and left the ancestral hall.

The old lady was reluctant, but she also knew that she couldn't intervene at this time, so she could only sigh and followed him out silently.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, Lin Ruoxuan was very happy.

It's great that Lin Shiyuan was fair and gave Lin Ruoxi a reasonable punishment.

Just as she was thinking about these things, Luqiao reminded her softly, "Miss, the prince is waiting for you in the front yard."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her head, was slightly startled, and then she felt a little relieved. She nodded and said, "I know. I'll be there right away."

She walked quickly to the front yard, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart when she thought that Gu Nanyuan had specially waited for her at this time.

When I walked to the front yard, I saw Gu Nanyuan standing in a corner from afar, holding a wooden stick in his hand and teasing the Tibetan mastiff.

The huge Tibetan Mastiff seemed particularly docile at the moment. Although it was growling and its mouth was half open, it had no intention of attacking. It seemed that it was in a playful mood due to Gu Nanyuan's teasing.

"I didn't expect that he also likes such ferocious animals."

Lin Ruoxuan chuckled, walked forward, and whispered, "Do you like Tibetan Mastiffs too?"

Gu Nanyuan looked up and saw Lin Ruoxuan, a smile flashed in his eyes, he put down the stick in his hand, and said with a faint smile: "It's not that I like it particularly, I just think it's interesting to tame such a beast."

Lin Ruoxuan stood beside him, her eyes fell on the Tibetan Mastiff, and smiled: "Indeed, it takes time and patience to tame it. Master Zhang even hired a dog trainer for this purpose, and he is very careful."

Gu Nanyuan was slightly startled, and turned his head to look at her, with some confusion in his eyes: "Zhang Mo?"

Lin Ruoxuan said casually: "Yes, Zhang Mo is quite generous and sent a dog trainer along as well."

Hearing this, Gu Nanyuan's expression changed instantly. His originally relaxed expression gradually became solemn. His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.

He restrained his smile and asked again to confirm: "Did Zhang Mo give it to you?"

Lin Ruoxuan didn't notice Gu Nanyuan's change and continued to praise him: "Yes."

However, Gu Nanyuan's gaze gradually became deep, and a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart.

Zhang Mo cares so much about Lin Ruoxuan, could it be that he has feelings for her?

Gu Nanyuan's expression became increasingly uglier, but he did not show it.

Lin Ruoxuan naturally didn't notice it.

Just at this time, the maid came over and said that it was time for dinner.

Lin Ruoxuan didn't think twice and took Gu Nanyuan to have dinner.

After dinner, Gu Nanyuan left without saying anything and went directly to Zhang's house.

Zhang Mo was concentrating on teasing a cute little rabbit in the yard. The rabbit's fur was snow-white and soft. He gently stroked its ears from time to time, thinking in his heart how to give the rabbit to Lin Ruoqiao tomorrow.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door. He looked up and saw that it was Gu Nanyuan.

He was a little confused, and quickly stood up, smiling and asked, "Prince? Why are you here so late?"

Gu Nanyuan didn't smile much, he stared at Zhang Mo fiercely, his tone cold and warning: "I came here today to remind you not to provoke people you shouldn't provoke."

Zhang Mo was stunned by this sudden warning, and the little rabbit in his hands almost slipped.

He frowned slightly, and although he was full of doubts, he still asked softly: "What do you mean by this, Prince? I have never provoked anyone who should not be provoked."

Gu Nanyuan's face was stern, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, and he did not hide his hostility: "You frequently approach the Lin family, especially Ruoxuan. You'd better remember that she is mine. Don't think you can get her by giving her a few gifts."

Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and began to realize that Gu Nanyuan might have misunderstood, but he still found the situation a little confusing.

He opened his mouth, trying to explain: "Wait a minute, Prince, did you misunderstand? I never intended to provoke-"

Gu Nanyuan interrupted him, his eyes sharp: "Don't play dumb, Tibetan mastiff, dog trainer, aren't these things you gave to Ruoxuan obvious enough? Don't tell me you just did it for fun."

Zhang Mo finally understood and couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand to signal Gu Nanyuan to calm down: "So it's because of this matter! You misunderstood. Things are not what you think."

"I did give the Tibetan mastiff away, but I originally intended it for the seventh girl. I didn't expect that she was afraid of such ferocious animals. In the end, it was the eighth girl who liked it, so it naturally came into her hands."

Hearing this, Gu Nanyuan frowned slightly, his expression softened a bit, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Mo nodded seriously, with helplessness on his face: "Of course it is certain. Seventh Miss didn't dare to get close to the Tibetan Mastiff. Eighth Miss liked it, and I didn't think too much about it, so I let her take it away. As for me, the one I've been thinking about is not Eighth Miss, but Seventh Miss."

Gu Nanyuan's expression relaxed instantly, the doubts in his eyes disappeared, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Do you like Seventh Miss?"

Zhang Mo chuckled and continued, "Exactly. I also prepared this little white rabbit for her and plan to send it to her tomorrow."

Seeing how frank he was, Gu Nanyuan instantly realized that he had indeed misunderstood. The tension in his heart disappeared, and his expression relaxed, even revealing a hint of a smile.

He patted Zhang Mo's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "I see, it seems that this is indeed a big misunderstanding."

Seeing Gu Nanyuan finally let go of his worries, Zhang Mo couldn't help but tease, "Do you really think I'm after Eighth Girl? I don't dare compete with you!"

Gu Nanyuan laughed out loud, completely losing his previous guard. Instead, he encouraged her, "Since you have feelings for Miss Seven, then go after her bravely. Miss Seven is lively and pure-hearted. If you really want to, you might as well give it a try. As long as you treat her well, I will naturally support you."

Zhang Mo was still a little hesitant at first, but when he heard Gu Nanyuan's words, he suddenly felt more confident.

He nodded solemnly, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely treat her well."

After Zhang Mo finished speaking, he took the initiative to mention Song Zhennan: "But now Zhennan is also pursuing Miss Seven, and Zhennan is my good friend..."

Gu Nanyuan saw it and immediately smiled, saying clearly: "Now, there is no relationship between Seventh Miss and him, so you don't have to worry too much."
