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

At this time, Madam Cong hurried in and said to Lin Ruoxuan, "Miss, the ladies from several branches of the Lin family have come with dowry gifts, saying that they are for your wedding. The mistress hopes that you can go out and thank them all."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience on her face.

She never liked socializing, and she even disliked chatting and exchanging pleasantries with the elders of the other families, so she said to Cong's mother, "Mom, go back and tell her mother that I'm busy preparing for the wedding and can't get away, so let her just do the socializing for me."

Mother Cong nodded in understanding and went back to tell her.

Half an hour later, Lin Ruoxuan was chatting leisurely with Lin Ruoqiao when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

Then, a panicked maid ran in quickly, panting, "Miss, it's bad! Brother Qiu from the ninth room somehow let your Tibetan mastiff out, and the Tibetan mastiff actually bit Brother Qiu!"

Lin Ruoxuan was stunned when she heard this, and then a hint of helplessness and coldness flashed in her eyes.

Her Tibetan Mastiff is ferocious by nature, so she usually keeps it locked up tightly and no one is allowed to approach it except those she is close to.

This boy Qiu from the ninth room has always been very naughty. How could he be so bold as to release her Tibetan mastiff without her permission?

"He is really bold and reckless," Lin Ruoxuan sneered, stood up and said to Lin Ruoqiao, "Let's go and take a look."

When Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao hurried to the front yard, they heard the crying and shouting of Lady Nine mixed with faint curses from afar.

They walked over quickly and saw Qiu Ge'er half lying on the ground, his body covered in blood and his face pale, while Mrs. Jiufang was holding her son and crying almost madly.

She cried bitterly and shouted with gnashing teeth: "Whose dog is so vicious! How dare it hurt my son! I must beat it to death today! I will not let it go even when I find its owner!"

Lin Ruoxuan's face darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she did not rush to express her opinion, and just stood quietly aside.

At this time, Sun Rong had arrived. Seeing that the Ninth Lady was out of control, she comforted her, "Ninth Sister, don't worry. Brother Qiu's injury is serious. We need to get a doctor here to treat him. As for other matters, we can talk about it after Brother Qiu is safe and sound."

Although the Ninth Lady nodded in agreement, she still pulled at Sun Rong's sleeve, her eyes reddened, and her tone was angry: "Sister-in-law, Qiu'er is my son. He is still young, how can he suffer such a punishment! You can't just let it go! Not only must this vicious dog be killed, but its owner must also be found and given an explanation to my son!"

Seeing that she was very emotional, Lotus Sun could only say softly, "Okay, I will send someone to take care of Brother Qiu's injuries. When the doctor comes, he will be treated properly. As for other matters, we will discuss it after Brother Qiu is settled. Don't let him get hurt again."

As she spoke, she motioned to Mother Cong beside her to arrange a doctor and persuaded Madam Jiufang to calm down first.

The family members around listened to Mrs. Jiufang's crying and looked at each other, but no one stood up to agree with her.

Everyone knows that this Tibetan Mastiff belongs to the Lin family.

No matter who the child belongs to in the Lin family, even if Brother Qiu is injured, the Lin family will not be punished for it.

Even in the eyes of everyone, what happened to Qiu Ge'er today was just his own fault. Who made him so bold as to touch the Lin family's Tibetan mastiff?

Seeing that Sun Rong did not express her opinion, Madam Nine was so enraged that she wiped away her tears in indignation and shouted at the servant beside her, "What are you still standing there for? Go and catch that vicious dog for me! If I don't make it pay the price today, I will never be able to let go of this hatred in my heart!"

Several servants looked hesitant, but they did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to go forward.

However, the Tibetan Mastiff was originally unruly, and when it saw several people surrounding it, it immediately raised its hair, growled fiercely with a fierce look, and pounced on the servant in front.

The scene was instantly in chaos. The servants were terrified and fled in all directions. Screams were heard one after another and the yard was filled with wailing. Several people were bitten by Tibetan mastiffs and were covered in blood.

Seeing this, Sun Rong's face darkened, and she immediately said to Lin Ruoxuan, "Ruoxuan, quickly control it, don't let anyone else get hurt!"

Lin Ruoxuan watched coldly, with a hint of forbearance on her face, but when she saw her mother speak, she slowly stepped forward.

She clapped her hands gently and said softly to the Tibetan Mastiff, "Okay, dear, come back to me and stop making trouble."

What was strange was that the Tibetan Mastiff, which had been so ferocious just now and no one could approach it, gradually calmed down in response to Lin Ruoxuan's gentle call.

It hummed softly, lowered its head, walked slowly to Lin Ruoxuan's feet, and sat down obediently, completely losing its previous violent look.

When everyone saw this, they all showed incredible expressions and were secretly shocked.

Just at this moment, the doctor rushed over and immediately went to Qiu Ge'er's side to check his injuries.

Madam Jiufang tightly grasped Qiu'er's hand, choking with tears, "Qiu'er, you have to hold on! Mother is here, and mother will not let that beast hurt you again!"

The maids and several servants beside them lowered their heads and remained silent. The air was full of depression.

Lin Ruoxuan stood quietly in the yard, her eyes calm and slightly sharp, observing the Ninth Lady's every move.

The doctor carefully examined Qiu'er's injuries, slowly stood up, raised his hand and bowed to Madam Jiufang, saying, "Madam, don't worry, the young master is not in danger of death. Although the canine tooth is deep, it did not hurt the vital parts. He only needs to rest for a few days and he will recover."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiu was slightly relieved, but anger was still burning in her eyes.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lin Ruoxuan. There were still traces of tears on her face, but her tone was somewhat aggressive: "This Tibetan mastiff bit my son. If we let it go, how can my ninth house save its reputation? Not to mention compensating my son for his injuries, even this vicious dog must be severely punished to show justice."

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her calmly, without any fear on her face. She smiled slightly and asked, "I wonder what Madam Nine means by 'fairness'?"

Madam Nine looked directly at Lin Ruoxuan and said firmly, "If you want to put this matter to rest, you must pay five thousand taels of silver and kill the vicious dog, only then can you calm my son's fear."

She snorted coldly, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her, the smile on her face not diminishing, but her tone gradually turned cold: "Madam Jiu, what you said makes sense, but I wonder if you have considered another possibility."

"If Qiu deliberately angered the mastiff, or even released it for fun, then I want to ask, how would Madam explain this? Could it be that Qiu angered the mastiff and it bit him, and he wants the mastiff to compensate him?"

After hearing this, Madam Jiu's face suddenly changed, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. She bit her lip tightly, but refused to give in easily: "Ruoxuan, you say it lightly, but no matter what, this Tibetan mastiff bit my son, and we can't just let it go!"
