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

Upon hearing this, Madam Nine was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground, her face pale as she could no longer hold back her tears.

She pleaded, "Master, please forgive me this time. I didn't mean to go against the eldest wife..."

The Ninth Master was unmoved and said coldly: "This is all your fault. If you don't go and win back the favor of the First House yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless if the Ninth House is left out in the cold in the future!"

Qiu Ge'er cried until he was hoarse, and Ninth Girl also wiped her tears and knelt down to beg: "Father, mother has admitted her mistakes, please forgive her this time..."

The Ninth Master glared at his wife, swung his sleeves and stood up, saying in a cold tone: "It has come to this, there is no turning back."

After he finished speaking, he left angrily without even looking at Madam Nine.

The eldest wife of the Lin family.

Sun Rong sat beside her daughter and said earnestly, "Ruoxuan, you are getting married soon, and I have to advise you to think carefully about some things. Although it may seem like a small matter today, it has a significant impact."

She paused for a moment and spoke tentatively, "Mother feels that your Tibetan mastiff should be properly handled. After all, the Gu family is a distinguished family, and it is not appropriate to keep such a fierce dog at home. Not to mention the Gu family, even ordinary families may not be able to take care of it with peace of mind."

Lin Ruoxuan's expression did not waver at all after hearing this. Instead, she said with some certainty, "Mother, I have made up my mind about this matter. I trained Rourou myself, so she must marry with me. Although she has a fierce temper, she has begun to become well-behaved. Over time, she will become docile."

When Sun Rong heard her daughter call the Tibetan mastiff "Rou Rou", she looked at Lin Ruoxuan in surprise and couldn't help laughing, "You gave it such a name? I think it has nothing to do with the name 'Rou Rou' except that it looks fierce."

Sun Rong knew clearly that the Tibetan Mastiff was ferocious by nature. When Ruoxuan was not around, not only her, but even the servants in the courtyard did not dare to get close to it.

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly, with a bit of pride in her tone: "Mother, it is naturally worthy of this name. In fact, it is just because of its vigilant nature. On weekdays, it will be very alert when strangers approach. I believe that after Rourou really adapts, she will be the most loyal guard."

Sun Rong shook her head and could not help but advise: "Child, although you are decisive, your life after marriage will be different from that of the Lin family, and the rules of the Gu family are even stricter. If your future in-laws see such a ferocious Tibetan mastiff, I am afraid there will be criticism. Why not send it to the villa before marriage, it will be considered appropriate."

Lin Ruoxuan shook her head gently, with a bit of persistence and love for the Tibetan Mastiff in her eyes, "Mother, Rourou has become accustomed to my company. She is also one of my dowries, and an indispensable guard after I get married. If my future in-laws are unhappy about this, it is something I should deal with."

Sun Rong sighed helplessly. Seeing her daughter's determined expression, she knew that it was useless to say more. She could only pat the back of her hand lovingly and said softly, "You are really stubborn to the core."

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, there was a knock on the door of the Lin residence.

The housekeeper hurried to open the door, and saw that it was the ninth room couple standing outside the door early.

The Ninth Master and the Ninth Madam lowered their heads slightly, with a hint of uneasiness on their faces.

When the housekeeper saw this, he hurriedly led the two of them into the main hall of the house.

As the news spread, Sun Rong and Lin Shiyuan also walked out from the inner hall with puzzled expressions. Seeing the expressions of the Jiufang couple, they were startled and suddenly felt a little confused.

"Ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law, is there anything important that needs to be resolved so early in the morning?" Lin Shiyuan asked with some concern.

The Ninth Master solemnly placed the envelope in his hand on the table. After opening it, he revealed five thousand taels of silver and an extra thousand taels. He pushed the silver notes in front of Lin Shiyuan with both hands, and said with a hint of shame: "Brother, sister-in-law, what happened yesterday was our Ninth House's fault. Not only do we not dare to take these silver taels, we should also pay an additional thousand taels."

"Qiu Ge'er was naughty and offended Ruoxuan's Tibetan mastiff. It was really because we didn't discipline the child well. Ruoxuan's beloved thing was frightened. This thousand taels is a small token of our appreciation. I hope that Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law will not despise it."

Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong looked at each other, both of them were stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Seeing Ninth Master's sincere attitude and respectful words, Sun Rong couldn't help but sigh softly and said softly, "We are really ashamed of what you said! Yesterday's incident was just a small misunderstanding, how could it be so serious? Ninth brother, don't blame yourself anymore."

Madam Nine lowered her head, her face showing shame, and her voice trembled a little: "Sister-in-law, I was confused for a moment, which is why I made such a fuss about Qiu'er. If Qiu'er hadn't been naughty, how could the Tibetan mastiff be frightened? Yesterday, I actually asked for a lot of money. It's really an unforgivable sin. I beg you, brother and sister-in-law, to forgive my mistakes and not to hold a grudge against me, who doesn't know the limits of heaven and earth."

Sun Rong smiled and shook her head, saying kindly, "Ninth brother's wife, we are a family, why do we have to say such polite words? Yesterday we asked Mother Chen to send five thousand taels, just for the sake of harmony, and sincerely hope that this matter can be put behind us. We are all a family, there is no estrangement between us."

Lin Shiyuan also nodded with a smile, and said gently: "Since we have made it clear yesterday, this matter ends here. We really can't accept any more money. As for the supplements, since the Ninth House has accepted them, it is a small token of our appreciation. The two families are originally one family, there is no need to divide them so clearly."

Seeing Lin Shiyuan's sincere tone, the guilt in the heart of the Ninth Master eased a little, but he still insisted: "Brother, we appreciate your kindness. But the Ninth House must not accept this banknote, otherwise if outsiders know about it, won't they laugh at my Ninth House for taking advantage of my brothers? I must not let anyone poke the Ninth House in the back."

Sun Rong heard this and saw that the Ninth Master was so determined. She knew that it would be futile to refuse, so she smiled and said, "Since you are so sincere, I will agree to your request. However, the relationship between our two rooms will never fade because of this. Ninth brother's wife, please don't be so formal in the future."

Madam Jiu's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, big brother and big sister-in-law, for your tolerance. Otherwise, I really don't know how I can face you two..."

Seeing Madam Jiu's sincerity, Lin Shiyuan felt relieved and said in a gentle voice, "We are all family, connected by blood, and we must live in harmony in the future."

After the chat, he and Sun Rong personally escorted the Jiufang couple to the door and watched them leave.

On the wedding day, the Lin Mansion was decorated with lanterns and red silk hung all over the door, and the atmosphere from the entrance to the main hall was filled with joy.

As the wedding procession slowly arrived, the scene outside the courtyard became even more lively.

Gu Nanyuan was wearing a red wedding gown with fluttering sleeves, and his handsome face was filled with unconcealable joy.

Before he even stepped into the main hall, he was blocked at the door by several cousins ​​who were "blocking the way".

Lin Huaixun, the leader, smiled and stretched out his hands. He looked at Gu Nanyuan with interest and deliberately teased him, "Gu Shizi, it's not that easy to marry a girl from our Lin family! You have to pass these tests today."
