Lin Ruoxuan sat on the soft couch in the study, holding in her hand the private life records of several masters of the Qi family that Gu Nanyuan had sent her.

She flipped through the documents in her hand and couldn't help but smile.

Gu Nanyuan's work efficiency was as high as usual. In two days, he not only found out about the deeds of several masters of the Qi family who kept mistresses, but also found out the details of several concubines who died.

Luqiao and Hongya were standing aside, and seeing the heroine's expression, they couldn't help but praise her in a low voice.

"Young lady, the prince is really amazing. He has uncovered all the secrets of the Qi family masters in just two days," Hong Ya said with a smile, her tone full of admiration. "I wonder if Old Lady Qi would dare to give orders to you if she knew all this."

Lu Qiao also agreed: "Yes, young lady, the information provided by the prince is so comprehensive that he has even investigated the causes of death of the previous concubines of the third master. I'm afraid that Madam Qi will not be able to find fault with it now."

Lin Ruoxuan's gaze shifted away from the document in her hand, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

She gently stroked the record, but the smile on her lips gradually faded.

Although he had the leverage over the Qi family, the most difficult part was how to use this information to shut up Old Madam Qi without hurting the eldest sister's reputation.

She frowned slightly: "Although this information is enough to cause chaos in the Qi family for a while, we must consider the situation of the eldest sister. The eldest sister still has to live in the Qi family. If we are too harsh, it may affect her status in the Qi family and harm her instead."

Hongya also nodded and agreed: "The girl is right. After all, the eldest girl is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qi family."

The three of them were discussing with each other, and the documents on the table had been spread out.

The masters of the second and third branches of the Qi family all have records of keeping mistresses and concubines, but once these things are made public, it will bring disgrace to the Qi family and will also affect the relationships within and outside the family.

Lin Ruoxuan rubbed her brows, her mind racing.

She had to find a way to make Old Madam Qi shut up completely without embarrassing her elder sister.

Defeat the enemy with one move, but it cannot be too heavy, you must find the right measure.

"That's the problem," Lin Ruoxuan sighed, resting her hands on the table, thinking, "We need to let Madam Qi know that the Qi family has a lot of shameful things to do, so she'd better not provoke us again. But we can't let her feel that she has lost face, otherwise it will be even more difficult for Big Sister to stay in the Qi family."

Luqiao and Hongya looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Mother Chen came hurriedly, looking anxious, and her voice was filled with suppressed anxiety: "Girl, something happened to the eldest girl! The eldest lady asked you to go to the main hall immediately, and everyone will go to the Qi family together."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, her heart tightened and she immediately realized that the matter was serious.

She stood up quickly and ordered calmly, "Prepare the car, we will go to Qi's house immediately."

After a moment, Lin Ruoxuan walked quickly to the main hall and saw that Sun Rong was already ready, with anxiety written all over her face.

Lin Ruoxuan sorted out her thoughts while helping her mother get into the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove out of the Lin family mansion and hurried along the street.

Lin Ruoxuan sat in the car, thinking about what had happened in the Qi family during this period, her heart full of questions.

She turned to look at Lin Ruoxue's maid Lotus and asked softly, "Tell us the details first so that we know how to deal with it."

Lotus lowered her head and said in a hurried but concise tone: "Eighth Miss, it happened this morning."

"Old Madam Qi brought two girls to the main room and wanted the eldest girl to accept them as concubines for the young master. The eldest girl was naturally unwilling and put forward a condition - if she had no children within five years, she would personally arrange for the young master to take a concubine. However, if the young master insisted on taking a concubine within these five years, he would have to divorce the eldest girl."

Lin Ruoxuan sighed secretly in her heart. Lin Ruoxue's reaction was as resolute as ever.

Lotus continued, "After hearing this, Madam Qi was furious and said that the eldest girl was jealous. She also brought up the past and ridiculed the eldest girl in front of everyone."

"The eldest girl was holding it in, but Old Madam Qi fainted from anger. Now the young master and Grandpa Qi have been called back home, but they did not blame the eldest girl. Instead, they asked a doctor to see the old lady."

"People from other branches of the Qi family have also gone to the main courtyard. Now the entire Qi family is in chaos." He Hua said worriedly.

After hearing these words, Lotus Sun frowned, her eyes full of worry.

Lin Ruoxuan suddenly had an idea and grabbed her mother's hand.

"Mother," she said firmly, with a serious look in her eyes that brooked no room for rebuttal, "You went to the Qi family today to support my elder sister. No matter what Madam Qi says, no matter how she forces you, you must not agree to let those two women enter the house."

Sun Rong frowned and asked worriedly, "Old Madam Qi is the elder after all. Will this make it more difficult for your elder sister? After all, she still has to live in the Qi family."

Lin Ruoxuan shook her head, her eyes firm and cold: "Mother, those two women are not concubines, but spies planted by the old lady. If they enter the Qi family, my elder sister's life will only become more difficult. Even if we get a reputation of being 'jealous', we must never let my elder sister give in. This is not a matter of jealousy, but for her happiness."

Sun Rong was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and sighed, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled with satisfaction and gently held her mother's hand: "Just rest assured to deal with Old Madam Qi, I will take care of the rest."

Sun Rong's face was filled with worry, but she also knew that Lin Ruoxuan always had her own ideas.

Afterwards, Lin Ruoxuan got off the carriage and took Luqiao and Hongya to find Gu Nanyuan.

Gu family.

Lin Ruoxuan was led directly to Gu Nanyuan's study.

The moment I opened the door, a calming scent of sandalwood hit me in the face.

Lin Ruoxuan walked straight to Gu Nanyuan and said, "I need you to find someone to go to the brothel and redeem the courtesan."

She paused, her eyes revealing a firmness that came from careful consideration. "Not only that, the evidence in your hands about the mistresses kept by the masters of the Qi family should also be spread out. Today, I will make the Qi family the biggest joke in the entire capital."

Gu Nanyuan frowned, shocked by her suggestion.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Ruoxuan, if you do this, the Qi family will be in chaos. If you are not careful, it may make Old Madam Qi so angry that she falls ill, or even..."

He paused, his eyes testing her, "If she becomes seriously ill from anger, the rest of the Qi family may not let it go so easily."

Lin Ruoxuan had a firm expression and her eyes remained unmoved.

She shook her head gently, her tone revealing determination: "I can't care so much. Madam Qi is bent on suppressing my elder sister. She brought the concubine into the family not for the sake of the first house, but to control my elder sister's life. If I give in today, not only will the relationship between my elder sister and her brother-in-law be affected, but more importantly, the mess in the Qi family will sooner or later drag us down."

Her voice was calm and decisive, with a certain irrefutable tone: "Seventh sister is still in prison. If her problem is not resolved, the situation will only get worse."
