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

Yun He smiled softly, bowed her head shyly, and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, cousin."

Lin Ruoxuan hurried forward, smiled and supported her, and said gently: "I felt close to my cousin when I first met her."

She looked Yun He up and down and saw that her eyebrows were drooping and her expression was gentle, like a frightened bird. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this cousin was indeed as Nan Yuan said, a timid and weak person.

Aunt Yun smiled and said, "Yun He has been timid since she was young. She is always cautious about everything. I am sorry to make you laugh."

Her tone was full of doting, and it was obvious that she loved her daughter very much.

Yun He blushed slightly after hearing this and gently held her mother's hand, appearing particularly dependent.

As soon as the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife learned that the children of the third and sixth wives were injured, they went to visit them immediately.

Before I even stepped into the main hall of the third room, I heard crying coming from inside the house.

The third wife's eyes were already red, and when they saw the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife come in, they immediately stood up and walked forward with full of grievances.

The Third Madam wiped her tears and choked up, "Brother, sister-in-law, you two must take care of us! The children were beaten up on our own land. Now one has broken bones and the other has a bloody head. No one takes our Gu family seriously!"

The third master was also indignant. He clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "We can't let this go easily! How can we, the Gu family, allow others to bully us so wantonly? If the murderer is not severely punished, everyone will look down on our Gu family in the future!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo looked solemn and soothed him softly, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. If anyone in the family is insulted, we will naturally investigate the matter and give the children an explanation."

She patted the Third Lady's hand soothingly, with a hint of relief.

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded calmly and said in a deep voice: "We will not sit idly by and watch this matter, but no matter how serious the children's injuries are, we should let the doctor diagnose and treat them as soon as possible and let them rest well first."

The Third Madam wiped her tears and said, "We have already invited a doctor, but the children feel wronged, so we hope that the eldest brother and sister-in-law can come to seek justice!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo gently patted the back of the Third Madam's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, the master and I will go to the Sixth House to visit, and we will definitely give you an explanation."

After that, the two of them comforted the couple in the third room, and then went to the sixth room to check the situation.

Compared to the excitement and anger of the third room, the sixth room couple seemed much calmer. After welcoming the two into the house, they led them to the main hall.

After a brief greeting, the Sixth Master frowned and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm afraid this matter is a little strange."

The Sixth Madam also nodded slightly. Although her expression was serious, she did not lose her composure like the Third Madam. She said calmly, "My master and I have asked carefully. The two children were beaten very badly, and the method was extremely cruel. I am afraid it was more than just an ordinary quarrel of arrogance."

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue.

The Sixth Master spoke with some caution as he slowly analyzed, "My wife and I originally thought that the children had caused trouble outside, but after repeated inquiries, we learned that they had no grudges recently and had not quarreled with anyone."

"It's just that the two kids were hanging out in brothels all day long. Although they were just having fun, they didn't do anything serious. It doesn't make sense that they would have such a deep hatred because of this."

The Duke of Zhenguo frowned, his eyes stern, "So it seems someone is targeting these two, or is deliberately doing this."

Madam Six nodded and sighed, "That's right. If she didn't intend to take revenge, why would she target them and attack them so ruthlessly?"

The Duke of Zhenguo was silent for a moment, looked at the Sixth Master thoughtfully, and whispered, "If that's the case, this matter seems even more unusual."

After hearing this, the Sixth Master's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he whispered, "Brother, if that's the case, why not put pressure on Jingzhao Yin and ask him to investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded slowly and said calmly, "I will take care of this matter myself, and I will make sure that Jingzhao Yin investigates it as soon as possible. If you dare to provoke the Gu family like this, don't blame me for being merciless."

The ladies of the third and sixth rooms looked at each other, a hint of relief on their faces, and thanked each other repeatedly.

When the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife returned to the main courtyard, they happened to meet Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan returning from outside.

The two walked side by side, Gu Nanyuan gently protected Lin Ruoxuan's shoulders, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his expression.

When he saw his parents, Gu Nanyuan subconsciously protected Lin Ruoxuan behind him, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

When the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo saw this, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

She looked at her son protecting Lin Ruoxuan behind him and felt hurt and guilty.

She knew that it was her previous harsh criticism of Lin Ruoxuan that caused her daughter-in-law to become distant from her and even caused her son to harbor a grudge against her.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo sighed slightly, knowing that she would not be able to win back the two men's hearts in a short time, but she was determined not to be tough anymore.

She secretly made up her mind to try to put aside her attitude today and care about them first.

She smiled faintly and asked as gently as possible, "It's late at night. The weather has been cold these days. Don't catch a cold."

Lin Ruoxuan was protected by Gu Nanyuan. She was slightly startled. Seeing the rare gentle look on the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's face, she slightly leaned out from behind Gu Nanyuan, bowed respectfully, and replied in a gentle voice: "Mother, we are just going to visit Aunt Yun. My cousin also returned home today, so Nanyuan took me to visit her."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded, her eyes lingering on Lin Ruoxuan's face for a moment, with an apologetic look in her eyes, and she said gently: "Thank you for your hard work. It's very cold at night, remember to put on more clothes when you return to your room, and rest early, don't let yourself catch a cold."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly and responded gently: "Yes, mother, don't worry, we will pay attention."

Seeing his mother's gentle words, Gu Nanyuan was touched, but his face remained calm. He gently supported Lin Ruoxuan's shoulders and said to his mother calmly, "If there is nothing else, we will go back and rest first."

An unconcealable look of disappointment appeared on the face of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. She wanted to say something more, but when she saw Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan leaving side by side, she didn't know where to start.

After all, it was because I was too harsh in my actions that caused a rift between the family.

The Duke of Zhenguo saw this, patted her shoulder gently, and consoled her: "The children are all grown up, and they have their own ideas. Take your time these few days, don't be anxious, Nanyuan and Ruoxuan understand your intentions."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded gently and sighed, her tone somewhat sad: "I was too stubborn at the beginning. Now they are alienated from me, and I can't blame others. I will care more about Ruoxuan in the future, and I hope she can understand my sincerity."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled faintly and said comfortingly: "She is a very smart child. If you treat her well, she will understand it in her heart."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded.
