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

Lin Ruoxuan became even more confused after listening to her elder sister's words.

She knew that Lin Ruoxue was always smart and gentle. Although she was usually kind and generous, it was really unlike her usual style to take a concubine for her husband so proactively.

Moreover, there was an obvious sense of self-suppression and helplessness in the elder sister's tone, as if she had forced herself to accept a fact that she did not want to face.

"Big sister, are you really willing to do this?" Lin Ruoxuan asked tentatively, with concern in her eyes, "Do you really want to share your husband with others? Even if it's your big brother-in-law, he may not agree."

Lin Ruoxue's expression changed slightly, she lowered her head, her eyes dimmed a little: "There are some things you don't understand. It's common for men to take concubines, and sooner or later they will have to face it. In this case, why don't I take the initiative myself, so as not to feel bad in the future?"

Lin Ruoxuan's mood became increasingly heavy. Although she understood her elder sister's considerations, she also knew that Lin Ruoxue would not take the initiative to propose taking a concubine for no reason. Something must have happened.

But looking at the current situation, no matter how much she asked, she would not get anything out of it. So Lin Ruoxuan did not press the issue and sent Lin Ruoxue back to the Qi family first.

Afterwards, Lin Ruoxuan returned home and immediately called Luqiao and Hongya.

"Luqiao," Lin Ruoxuan ordered in a low voice, with a serious tone, "Go to the Qi family and ask if anything has happened recently. Remember, don't reveal your identity easily, and be careful in everything you do."

Lu Qiao nodded, her eyes firm: "Don't worry, Aunt, I will be careful."

Lin Ruoxuan turned to Hongya and said, "Go and find out about my brother-in-law's recent movements, especially anything related to my sister. Don't let go of any disturbance."

After receiving the order, the two left.

After arranging everything, Lin Ruoxuan went to find Sun Rong again to test whether she knew that Lin Ruoxue had taken a concubine for Qi Zeshen.

She came to the inner courtyard. When Sun Rong saw Lin Ruoxuan coming, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Why did you come to see me all of a sudden?" Sun Rong smiled gently, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but more of love for her daughter.

Lin Ruoxuan walked forward gently, sat beside her mother, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Sun Rong. Then she asked softly, "Mother, is everything going well with my eldest sister's family recently? I heard that she is planning to take a concubine for my eldest brother-in-law. Do you know about this?"

Sun Rong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, with a look of obvious surprise on her face: "Taking a concubine? Ruoxue wants to take a concubine for Ze Shen? Why have I never heard her mention this?"

Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly, and her suspicion became more certain.

Since even the mother is unaware of it, then this matter must not be the eldest sister's own idea, but is related to the Qi family.

She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Mother, do you know if there have been any changes in the Qi family recently, or if anything has happened?"

Sun Rong shook her head, a hint of worry between her brows. "No, Ruoxue has been doing well since she got married. Ze Shen treats her very well, and I haven't heard any bad news. Why are you asking all this suddenly? Is there something wrong with my elder sister?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly, hiding her worries: "It's nothing, I just feel that my elder sister has been a little unusual recently, so I want to pay more attention to her."

Sun Rong put down the teacup in her hand, and her tone was more concerned: "If there is really a problem, you must pay more attention to her. Big Sister is your biological sister, you must not let her suffer any injustice."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded and replied softly: "Mother, don't worry, I will."

Afterwards, Sun Rong brought up Lin Ruoqiao's matter again: "Your eldest sister's matter is not urgent, but your seventh sister's matter should be paid more attention to. It's not a big deal for a girl to be locked up in prison. The rumors outside are unpleasant. Her innocence is the most important thing. We can't let her suffer such grievances outside."

"Don't worry, mother. I have always been concerned about Seventh Sister's matter, and I will clear her name as soon as possible." Lin Ruoxuan soothed softly.

Sun Rong nodded, and then continued, "Your father has gone to Jingzhao Yinfu to inquire about the case, hoping to see if he can find some useful clues or any loopholes that can be alleviated. You can also go to Nanyuan, he may be able to help."

"Mother," Lin Ruoxuan pursed her lips and explained, "Nan Yuan and I had a quarrel recently, so he may not be able to help..."

When Sun Rong heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, with a look of confusion on her face: "You two are usually so good, why are you quarreling now?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled bitterly: "We had a small argument, and both of us felt wronged, so we didn't say much for the time being. However, I will try my best to handle this matter myself and not bother him anymore."

Sun Rong frowned slightly. Although she was worried, she did not force her daughter to look for Gu Nanyuan.

She sighed, her tone full of concern: "You can quarrel as much as you want, but Ruqiao's matter cannot be delayed. After all, this concerns her innocence, and I can't just sit back and watch. Tomorrow you will accompany me to visit her in prison, so that she won't be wronged in there."

Lin Ruoxuan's heart sank. Her mother's suggestion was undoubtedly out of concern, but she knew that visiting Lin Ruoqiao now would not only fail to help, but would bring more trouble.

She must find the right time and wait for news from her father before making a decision.

"Mother, we certainly can't delay Seventh Sister's affairs." Lin Ruoxuan gently patted her mother's hand to calm her down, "But we'd better wait for Father to come back to discuss it and decide when to go see her."

Sun Rong nodded. Although she was anxious, she knew she was right. "Then let's wait until your father comes back. I hope he can bring back some good news."

Soon, Lin Shiyuan returned to the mansion, his expression showing some fatigue and disappointment.

Lotus Sun quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's the situation? Is there any room for improvement in Ruoqiao's case?"

Lin Shiyuan sighed, sat down and shook his head, his expression extremely heavy: "The situation is not optimistic. Lord Jingzhao Yin said very clearly that unless we can find the murderer or have enough evidence to prove that Ruoqiao is innocent, this case can only be sentenced severely according to the law."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, her heart suddenly tightened: "Father, is there no other solution?"

Lin Shiyuan's eyes flashed with helplessness: "The Wu family also exerted a lot of pressure, forcing the Jingzhao Yinfu to severely punish the murderer. In addition, this matter caused a lot of uproar, and the Jingzhao Yinfu had to act according to the rules, which was stricter than usual."

Lin Ruoxuan's mood became increasingly heavy.

After hearing this, Sun Rong sighed and said, "How did this girl Ruoqiao end up in such a big trouble... How could a girl like her endure this hardship when she was imprisoned?"

Although Lin Ruoxuan was anxious, she remained calm: "Father, Mother, I will do my best to investigate and will definitely find the real culprit and clear my seventh sister's name."
