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

But when Lin Ruoxi found out, she was in a state of confusion. As a result, she completely cut off contact with Lin Ruoying.

Her face was gloomy. She tried every possible way to contact Lin Ruoying and sent her countless letters, but without exception they were all stopped by the maids.

Zhang Xiaoniang was very careful in her defense.

Lin Ruoxi gnashed her teeth in hatred, clenched her fist and slammed it on the table, but she still couldn't vent her anger.

However, no amount of resentment would help. She knew that if she couldn't drag Lin Ruoying into the water, she would have to bear all the responsibility alone once the matter was exposed.

Every move she made was now forced into a desperate situation.

Sun Rong immediately asked someone to call Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao over.

After seeing the two people, he couldn't wait to repeat Zhang Xiaoniang's words.

But after she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao still sat quietly with calm expressions.

"Have you two known about Ruoxi's plan for a long time?" Sun Rong immediately understood that they already knew it.

Lin Ruoxuan raised her head, her eyes clear but with a bit of calmness, and nodded gently: "Mother, Ruoqiao and I have already noticed this matter."

Hearing this, Sun Rong became increasingly angry and gently placed the teacup on the table, making a crisp sound.

There was helplessness in her tone: "If you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier? Am I, as a mother, so useless in your eyes?"

Lin Ruoqiao looked at her sister, lowered her head slightly, and said with a little apology in her tone: "Mother, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but Third Sister has been thinking deeply over the years. We feel that if we act rashly, it will easily alert the enemy."

Lin Ruoxuan took over the conversation and explained softly, "Yes, mother, we didn't mean to hide it from you. We just wanted to wait until things developed to a critical point before catching them all in one fell swoop. Third sister is now using outsiders and even dares to take action against her siblings. If we take action early, I'm afraid she won't give up easily."

When Lotus Sun heard this, the anger in her heart did not dissipate.

She knew her daughters had a point, but she was very unhappy about feeling like an outsider and being kept in the dark.

She took a deep breath, raised her eyes and stared coldly at her two daughters: "Well, you have grown up and become independent now, and you dare to act on your own."

She put down the teacup in her hand, and said in a reproachful tone: "In your eyes, are your father and I dispensable? Do you think you can control everything and don't need to take your elders into consideration?"

Lin Ruoxuan spoke first and apologized quickly: "Mother, we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have kept it from you when things had developed to this point. We should have told you and father long ago."

Lin Ruoqiao took over the conversation and said softly: "Mother, you were right to teach us to be cautious. This time we were reckless."

There was a flattering tone in her voice, making her seem obedient and submissive.

As Lotus Sun watched her two daughters admit their mistakes with humble expressions, the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

Lin Ruoxuan expressed her thoughts again: "Mother, we are just worried that you will be too worried, so we want to tell you after everything is settled."

Lin Ruoqiao also echoed, "Yes, mother, we just don't want you to worry about us. You have always loved us, how could we bear to keep you awake at night?"

As Lotus Sun listened to their explanations, she felt even more helpless.

She shook her head gently, with a little heartache in her eyes: "I know you are doing this for the good of the family, but no matter what, you can no longer hide these dangerous things from us. If something happens to you, how can we rest assured?"

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao looked at each other and realized that their mother's worries were not unfounded.

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, with a sincere apology in her tone: "Mother, don't worry, this time we will really listen to your arrangements and will not hide it from you anymore."

Sun Rong was very satisfied with the two people's attitude of admitting their mistakes, and said, "It's not enough to just admit your mistakes verbally. We can't act arbitrarily this time. We must let the prince and your fourth brother know about it. You have to plan with them. Only when everyone is informed can we be safe."

Lin Ruoxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

She knew that her mother's insistence was not empty talk. If they did not agree, Sun Rong would immediately go to Gu Yanzhi and Lin Huaixun to expose the matter.

Lin Ruoxuan responded softly, "Mother, you are right. I will inform the prince and my fourth brother and will not hide it from them anymore."

In order to reassure Sun Rong, Lin Ruoxuan made an appointment with Gu Yanzhi, Lin Huaixun, Lin Ruoxue and Qi Zeshen to meet at Rulou in front of her.

Only then did Lotus Sun feel relieved.

On the carriage to Rulou, although Lin Ruoxuan had promised Sun Rong that she would discuss the matter with everyone, after thinking it over, she decided not to disturb Gu Yanzhi.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned her head and whispered to Lin Ruoqiao: "Seventh sister, I have an idea."

Lin Ruoqiao turned around and looked at her, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "What do you think?"

Lin Ruoxuan's expression became solemn, and she said slowly: "I just thought about it. If we tell the prince and fourth brother everything, they will intervene, which will definitely alert the Wu family and third sister, and it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In this way, the plan may not be able to go through to the end, and the Wu family will not be completely defeated in the end."

Lin Ruoqiao frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully: "So what do you mean...?"

Lin Ruoxuan took a deep breath and said firmly, "We can't tell them the whole plan. Although we promised mother, if we want to completely overthrow the Wu family, we must act in secret."

Lin Ruoqiao was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips, obviously hesitant: "But mother has clearly asked us to communicate. If we don't do it, what if they find out..."

Lin Ruoxuan knew her concerns very well. She said in a deep voice, "I know the risk is huge, but if we want to solve the problem completely, we have to take this path. Also, if they act too early, the Wu family will be alert. We can only wait for them to show their hand so that we can strike them right away."

Lin Ruoqiao was silent for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, I support you, but I have one condition."

She raised her eyes to look at Lin Ruoxuan, "But I want to be the bait, only in this way can I feel at ease. Otherwise, I will tell this to Fourth Brother and the Prince."

Lin Ruoxuan frowned, obviously reluctant.

She didn't want to let Lin Ruoqiao take risks, but she knew her seventh sister's temper. Once a decision was made, no one could change it.

Lin Ruoxuan took a deep breath and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, I promise you. But you must be extremely careful and there can't be any mistakes."

Lin Ruoqiao's eyes were a little cunning: "Don't worry, I won't act rashly."
