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

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded gently, with a complicated expression between her brows: "From the time point of view, the children of the third and sixth rooms were beaten, and the third wife was involved in a murder case. Accidents happened one after another."

"It is reasonable for Nanyuan to act secretly in order to protect Ruoxuan's reputation. However, if this series of events is really his handiwork, I am afraid that the next target will be the Sixth Room Lady."

After hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo nodded thoughtfully, with a hint of meaning in his tone: "If Nanyuan really targeted the Sixth House, then it can be confirmed that all this was his method. His strategy and decisiveness are beyond my expectations, but as a prince, he still needs to be more prudent in his actions."

In the listening club, the singing on the stage is melodious and graceful, and there is a hint of fragrance in the air.

When Lin Ruoxuan stepped into the private room, she saw Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao already sitting by the window. After the three of them met, they smiled and exchanged a few words, then sat down to listen to the opera together.

As the song ended, Lin Ruoxue suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously to her two sisters: "I heard that something happened to the third wife of the Gu family. Do you know the reason behind it?"

Lin Ruoxuan was slightly startled, and couldn't help asking, "It happened when I was out, but what is the reason behind what Big Sister is talking about?"

Lin Ruoxue's eyes flickered slightly, and with a serious look on her face, she said softly, "The Third Madam secretly lends money at high interest rates in the capital. With the power of the Gu family, many poor families are forced into desperation by her. This time, the incident happened because a family couldn't pay back the debt, so the Third Madam's brother actually had someone set fire to that family's house in order to scare them."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, there was a hint of shock in her eyes, and she felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.

Lin Ruoxue sighed and continued, "However, who knew that the fire could not be controlled. Not only did it burn the house clean, but it also burned the male owner of the family to death. The third wife wanted to settle the matter with money, but now someone has dug it up, and the court has directly arrested her and her brother. Now everyone in the capital knows about it, and the third wife has completely lost face."

Lin Ruoqiao frowned as she listened, and couldn't help but whispered, "Evil is always rewarded with evil! Madam San acted in this way, killing people, but in the end she still couldn't escape punishment."

After listening to this, although Lin Ruoxuan felt a little comforted, she also felt that something was wrong.

She knew that this incident had indeed dealt a heavy blow to the Third House, but it happened so coincidentally and at such a precise time that she couldn't help but wonder if there was someone behind it.

The first person she thought of was Gu Nanyuan.

Her heart sank slightly, but she remained calm on the surface, and said softly: "It is indeed retribution, but if no one fanned the flames, how could this matter be brought up at this time? Moreover, if this matter becomes a big deal, it will not be good for the Gu family. Nan Yuan would not be stupid enough to risk the reputation of the Gu family, right?"

Lin Ruoxue nodded, her expression slightly solemn: "Ruoxuan, you really have to be careful. Nanyuan is so ruthless if he really wants to vent his anger for you. You should persuade him. People in the capital are treacherous, so don't make enemies casually."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, having secretly made up her mind.

Just as she was thinking, Lin Ruoqiao sighed deeply, a trace of sadness in her expression, and said faintly: "Can we stop caring about the Gu family and the third house, and care about me? I am full of worries now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue were attracted by her sudden complaint and both looked at her.

Lin Ruoxuan asked with concern: "Seventh sister, what could make you so distressed?"

Lin Ruoqiao hesitated for a moment, lowered her head slightly, and a rare blush appeared on her face, as if she was a little embarrassed.

She raised her eyes and glanced at her two sisters, half shyly and half helplessly speaking: "It was Zhang Mo... He, he expressed his feelings to me."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, excitement immediately flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but move closer and asked anxiously, "Then what? How did you respond to Zhang Mo after he confessed his love?"

Lin Ruoqiao sighed helplessly and patted her forehead, looking annoyed: "When he confessed his love, I was completely dumbfounded. My mind was blank and I couldn't think clearly. Until now, I still don't know what I said at that time. It was a really messed up answer!"

Lin Ruoxue covered her lips and chuckled, and couldn't help but joked: "You have always been smart, but now you are sometimes called stupid. But Zhang Mo is sincere. After your unclear rejection, did he give up?"

Lin Ruoqiao shook her head, her face shy and helpless: "He didn't give up. He even wrote me a letter this morning. He said in the letter that he would not give up and would wait until the day when I could see clearly what I felt in my heart."

She took out the letter from her sleeve, still with shyness on her face, and handed the letter to Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue.

Lin Ruoxuan couldn't wait to take it, opened the letter and read it carefully, with more excitement gradually appearing in her eyes.

There was a lot of sincerity between the lines of Zhang Mo's writing, and every sentence was full of affection, which made her feel warm in her heart.

Lin Ruoxue also came forward to read a few sentences and couldn't help but laugh softly: "This Zhang Mo is really affectionate, and every word he says is sincere, which makes people feel moved. If it happens, I think he is sincere to you, which is really rare, don't hesitate any more."

Lin Ruoxuan took Lin Ruoqiao's hand and said excitedly: "Seventh sister, Zhang Mo not only loves you deeply, but he is also the only son in the family. His family background is clean and he has no side branches. He is a thousand times better than the Song family! Although the Zhang family does not have a prominent reputation, he has a noble character and treats people sincerely. He is a reliable person. Such a person is hard to come by."

Just as the three sisters were immersed in the affairs of Zhang Mo and Lin Ruoqiao, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.

Lin Ruoxuan looked up and saw Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen walking in, followed by Song Zhennan.

She was startled and quickly hid the letter in her hand into the book. Her face regained its composure and she looked at Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao. The three of them tacitly changed the topic to prevent the "secret" from being discovered.

After Gu Nanyuan entered the room, he walked to Lin Ruoxuan with a smile, sat down naturally, and looked at her with some concern: "What are you talking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled, deliberately raised her eyebrows at Song Zhennan, and turned to ask: "Mr. Song, do you have any plans for the Song family's assets? If you want to take it back, it's a good opportunity. If not, then I will do it for you and suppress those useless people, so that they won't do anything else."

As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of determination flashed across Song Zhennan's face.

He smiled slightly, bowed to Lin Ruoxuan, and said with an unquestionable determination: "Eighth Miss, I appreciate your kindness. But now I have made up my mind to give up the Song family's property and pursue a career in politics. For the sake of my beloved, I must work hard all my life and live up to your trust."
