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

Judging from Lin Ruoting's appearance, she must have been waiting here for a long time.

Zhao Cezhiye didn't know how much she heard, but he didn't care.

"Cezhi..." Lin Ruoting's voice was choked with sobs and her eyes were sad.

She walked forward slowly, and suddenly her knees went weak and she knelt down in front of Zhao Ce, tears in her eyes.

Zhao Cezhi frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy, but did not speak immediately.

"I beg you to give up Ruoxuan..." Lin Ruoting's voice was choked and urgent, tears sliding down her cheeks, "Marry me, we can live a good life and stop entangled in these things. I don't hate Ruoxuan anymore, she and Gu Shizi are about to get married, why do you have to continue to torment her?"

Zhao Cezhi's expression instantly turned cold, his face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with boredom.

Lin Ruoting's words made the anger in his heart rise slightly, and his originally tense emotions completely exploded.

"That's enough!" He interrupted her crying with a harsh voice, his eyes full of impatience, "Who do you think you are? Why do you interfere in my affairs?"

Lin Ruoting's body trembled slightly when she heard his rebuke, but she still knelt without moving.

She bit her lip, raised her head, and choked up, "I know you love Ruoxuan in your heart, but if you continue like this, you will only hurt yourself... She no longer belongs to you, why are you still so obsessed?"

Zhao Cezhi looked at her coldly, with icy sarcasm in his eyes.

He leaned closer, his tone threatening: "Lin Ruoting, I don't need you to teach me what to do. If you want to stay with me, shut up and stop meddling in other people's business. Otherwise, I can kick you out of the Zhao family at any time."

Lin Ruoting's face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were filled with despair and pain.

Zhao Cezhi's eyes were cold, he walked away without looking back.

He had only one thought in his mind, and that was Lin Ruoxuan. Anyone who tried to stop him would not have a good ending.

Lin Ruoting walked back to her room in silence, with Zhao Cezhi's cold voice and ruthless gaze still echoing in her mind.

The feeling of powerlessness almost made her collapse, but Zhao Cezhi's cruelty deepened her despair.

She had no choice.

After much thought, perhaps Lin Ruoxi could give her some help.

Once she made up her mind, Lin Ruoting made an appointment to meet Lin Ruoxi.

After the two met, Lin Ruoxi looked up at her and smiled faintly: "Sixth sister, it's been a long time since we last met. What's the urgent matter?"

Lin Ruoting tightly grasped her sleeves, took a deep breath, suppressed her inner sadness, and said softly: "Third sister, I...I don't know what to do."

Seeing her like this, Lin Ruoxi asked hypocritically: "Sister, please tell me slowly, what happened?"

"Cezhi refused to give up Eighth Sister and insisted on cooperating with Lord Wu to deal with her. I begged him to let her go, but he wouldn't listen."

When she said this, Lin Ruoting's voice was choked with sobs and her eyes were red.

Lin Ruoxi frowned slightly, she patted the stool next to her gently, motioning Lin Ruoting to sit down.

"Sixth sister, don't be too anxious. Lord Zhao's current behavior is not completely beyond my expectations." Lin Ruoxi's tone was calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

Lin Ruoting sat down nervously, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Third sister, you are smart, you will definitely be able to think of a way. Tell me, what should I do? I just want to live a good life with Cezhi, but he... his obsession with Eighth Sister scares me."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in her eyes.

She leaned back gently on the chair, folded her hands, and said calmly, "Sixth sister, have you ever thought about why Lord Zhao is so obsessed with Eighth sister?"

"Is it because... because he loves her?" Lin Ruoting hesitated, her eyes confused.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head gently and sneered: "Love? Lord Zhao's love is just an obsession. The more he can't get it, the more he wants it. And what about you? Are you willing to be her substitute?"

Lin Ruoting was hurt by these words and was a little shaken, but she still shook her head: "But I have no other choice, I just want to stay with him."

Lin Ruoxi looked at her, her tone sharper: "You are too naive. Lord Zhao's ambitions are far more than this. If you want to really get him, you must seize this opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Lin Ruoting looked up in confusion.

Lin Ruoxi narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly: "Eighth sister has now become the target of Lord Zhao and the Wu family. They want to destroy her through this action, and this is an opportunity for you. You should understand that once Eighth sister is destroyed, you are the only one who can benefit from it."

Lin Ruoting's heart was shocked, and she looked at her in disbelief: "You mean... you want me to deal with Eighth Sister?"

Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly, her eyes as cold as ice: "It's not you who will do it, but let the Wu family and Lord Zhao do it. You just need to cooperate secretly and wait and see when they will act. Once something happens to the eighth sister, the other sisters in the family will not be a problem at all. By then, the Lin family will be under the control of you and me. Moreover, you can marry Lord Zhao legitimately, and no one will look down on you anymore."

Lin Ruoting's heart beat faster and her chest heaved.

If Lin Ruoxuan died, she could indeed escape from the predicament, and perhaps even return to the Lin family and never suffer humiliation again.

But this is her own sister...

She was struggling internally and in great pain.

After a long while, she raised her head with a hint of hesitation in her eyes: "But... Ruoxuan is my sister after all, I... How can I..."

Lin Ruoxi's face turned cold instantly, and her tone was full of determination that could not be refused: "Sixth sister, what are you still hesitating about? Ruoxuan is dead, and the power of the Lin family belongs to you and me. Do you want to continue to endure being treated coldly by Lord Zhao, or are you willing to seize this only opportunity to regain control of your own destiny?"

Lin Ruoting bit her lower lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She understood that Lin Ruoxi was right, this was her only chance.

If she continues like this, she will just live her life under Lin Ruoxuan's shadow.

Finally, she clenched her fists with a slight tremor, and a hint of determination gradually flashed in her eyes: "Third sister, you are right. This time, I can't back down again."

Lin Ruoxi nodded with satisfaction and patted her shoulder gently. "That's right. You just need to wait and see, pay attention to Zhao Cezhi's movements, and tell me when they take action."

Lin Ruoxi returned to the Lin Mansion, her mind was filled with turmoil.

She has already led Lin Ruoting to the first step of the plan, and the next chess piece is Lin Ruoying.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, the smile on the corners of her lips deepened a little, and then she asked the servants to find Lin Ruoying.

Not long after, Lin Ruoying came hurriedly, with a puzzled look on her face.
