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

In the private room of Rulou.

Lin Ruoxuan, Lin Ruoqiao, Lin Ruoxue, Gu Nanyuan, Lin Huaixun and Qi Zeshen sat together.

The food has been served, and everyone is drinking tea, chatting and laughing, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Lin Huaixun looked at the food in front of him and smiled slightly, "This Ru Lou in the capital really lives up to its reputation. No wonder you always say the food here is good."

Lin Ruoxuan looked at him, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly, "Fourth brother, if you like, we can come often in the future."

Everyone was chatting and laughing during the meal.

Lin Huaixun was halfway through his meal when he suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Lin Ruoqiao, and suggested, "Come with me to the shops in the capital later. I still need to buy some daily necessities. After all, I have been away from home for many years and am not familiar with the changes in the capital."

Lin Ruoqiao smiled and nodded, and said readily: "Okay, Fourth Brother, I also want to buy some things, let's go together."

Not long after, Lin Huaixun and Lin Ruoqiao left Rulou together, and Qi Ze took Lin Ruoxue back to Qi's house late at night.

Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan stayed in the private room and continued to eat.

Gu Nanyuan saw that Lin Ruoxuan seemed to be worried, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

He put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and looked at her with some concern: "You seem to be a little bit abnormal, are you hiding something from me?"

Lin Ruoxuan's heart tightened, and she quickly raised her head, trying to show a relaxed smile: "It's nothing serious, it's just that there have been a lot of things going on at home recently, so I can't help but feel a little tired."

Gu Nanyuan looked at her expression. Although her tone was relaxed, he had a feeling in his heart that she was deliberately hiding something.

He did not ask further questions, but gently held her hand and whispered, "If there is anything, don't hide it from me. No matter what happens, I will be with you."

Lin Ruoxuan was happy in her heart, but she didn't want Gu Nanyuan to get involved, so she whispered, "I know, Nanyuan, if there is anything, I will definitely tell you."

Gu Nanyuan knew that Lin Ruoxuan didn't want to say more at this time, so he didn't force it.

He patted her hand gently and reminded her: "No matter what happens, always put your safety first."

Lin Ruoxuan felt the warmth in his palm, and her heart relaxed a little. She smiled and said, "I feel relieved when you are here."

After chatting for a while, Gu Nanyuan sent Lin Ruoxuan back to the Lin Mansion.

After watching her enter the mansion, Gu Nanyuan instructed the guards in the dark, "Strengthen the protection of Ruoxuan and send more people in secret. No matter what happens, her safety must be ensured at all times."

The secret guard replied softly from the shadows: "Yes, Prince."

Three days later, the courtyard of the Lin Mansion was quiet.

However, the invitation in Lin Ruoxuan's hand made her sneer. It was an invitation from Lord Wu, saying that it was for "reconciliation" and asked her to meet at Ping'an Pawnshop.

Lin Ruoxuan gently stroked the words on the invitation, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

She had already anticipated the arrival of this day, the Wu family was about to take action.

Lin Ruoxuan stood in front of the window, pondered for a moment, turned around and walked out of the room quickly, heading straight for Lin Ruoqiao's yard.

The next step must be taken with caution. Any mistake may lead to falling into the enemy's trap.

In Lin Ruoqiao's yard.

Lin Ruoxuan pushed the door open and said directly: "Seventh sister, the plan has begun."

Lin Ruoqiao was slightly startled, then stood up and looked serious: "Did the Wu family take action?"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded and handed the invitation in her hand to her: "Master Wu sent an invitation, inviting me to 'reconcile' at Ping An Pawn Shop."

Lin Ruoqiao glanced at the invitation and frowned slightly: "They only invited you?"

"Yes." Lin Ruoxuan looked calm, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes, "They want to attack me alone."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoqiao showed some worry on her face: "The Wu family is insidious and cunning. It will be very dangerous for you to go alone. Since they have set up the trap, they must have been prepared in advance."

"That's why I'm going. This is the opportunity we've been waiting for. Once they reveal their true colors, we can completely defeat the Wu family."

Lin Ruoqiao showed a trace of uneasiness in her eyes, but soon she suppressed her doubts and said calmly: "Then what should I do?"

"Lord Wu only invited me, so you can't go with him. But you must find the right time and bring people to rescue me. As long as we cooperate well, the Wu family's plan will definitely fail."

Lin Ruoqiao took a deep breath and nodded, with a firm tone: "Okay, I will act according to the plan. But don't take it lightly."

Lin Ruoxuan looked indifferent, but the coldness in her eyes deepened.

Even though she knew it was a trap, she had to take the risk because she had another purpose for this trip, which was to kill Zhao Cezhi with her own hands.

Lin Ruoxuan gently stroked the dagger in her hand, her eyes calm.

The dagger was specially prepared for her by Gu Nanyuan. The blade was hidden in her sleeve, and the cool touch made her feel more at ease.

The flare was also hidden neatly around her waist. If the situation got out of control, this would be her last trump card.

She looked out the window. It was almost time to set off.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ruoxuan clenched her fists lightly, turned around and walked quickly out of the room. The carriage outside was already ready.

"Girl, the carriage is ready. When do we set off?" Hong Ya asked in a low voice, very nervous about the upcoming operation.

Lin Ruoxuan nodded, with determination in her eyes: "Let's go."

At the same time, the atmosphere in Lin Ruoqiao's yard was equally tense.

She stood at the door, watching Lin Ruoxuan's carriage disappear at the end of her sight, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart.

She immediately called her maid and quickly ordered, "Go and inform the prince immediately, tell him that the situation is urgent, and ask him to rush to Ping An Pawn Shop as soon as possible."

The maid nodded and left in a hurry.

Lin Ruoqiao turned around and said to another personal maid, "Go and inform Fourth Brother, tell him that Eighth Sister is going to meet someone from the Wu family, and ask him to bring people to Ping An Pawn Shop."

After the maid responded, Lin Ruoqiao immediately rushed to the Zhao family.

At the same time, in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Cezhi was also preparing to set off. He must get Lin Ruoxuan today.

However, at this time, Lin Ruoting rushed up: "Cezhi, please don't go... I know what you are going to do, but it's too dangerous! Ruoxuan is not easy to deal with. There are Master Gu and people from the Lin family around her. You can't put yourself in danger!"

Zhao Cezhi pulled his arm away coldly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "This is not your business, just stay at home and don't worry about anything else."

Lin Ruoting's heart was filled with pain. She knew that Zhao Cezhi's determination could not be shaken. If she left today, there might be no chance to turn back.

She bit her lip and almost knelt down: "You promised me that you would live with me, why do you have to do this?"
