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

After hearing this, the Sixth Madam's face turned pale, with a hint of grievance in her eyes, but she could not refute anything and could only grit her teeth and lower her head.

At this time, Lin Ruoxuan was lying on the bed, her face still slightly pale, her hand on her forehead, whispering: "I still feel dizzy, and my eyes are black... My stomach is also churning and uncomfortable... I want to vomit..."

When Gu Nanyuan heard her say this, his face suddenly changed, and he looked even more anxious. He quickly squatted down, held her hand, and gently comforted her: "Ruoxuan, don't worry, just lie down and rest, don't think too much. The doctor is here and will take good care of you."

The doctor nodded and explained, "Madam, don't worry. Just rest for a few days. The dizziness and nausea are normal reactions after shock and shock. They will ease in two days."

After hearing this, Gu Nanyuan's expression eased a little. He turned to the Duke Zhenguo and his wife and whispered, "Father, Mother, the most important thing for Ruoxuan now is to rest. If Sixth Aunt still doesn't know how to restrain herself and continues to disturb others' peace, it would be inappropriate."

He looked at the Sixth Madam coldly, his eyes were chilling, "If Ruoxuan feels even slightly uncomfortable, the Sixth House will have to pay double."

When the Sixth Madam heard the threatening words, her heart was shocked, her face turned pale, and she dared not say anything more.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo glanced at her coldly, then turned to Lin Ruoxuan and sighed softly, "Ruoxuan, rest assured. Your father and I will give you an explanation."

The Duke of Zhenguo nodded, his expression cold, and turned to the servants and ordered: "Take the Sixth Madam out. She acted like this today. When the Sixth Master comes, she must give us a reasonable explanation!"

Then, he said to Gu Nanyuan: "Nanyuan, take good care of Ruoxuan and don't let her suffer any more grievances."

Gu Nanyuan nodded solemnly and watched the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife leave with the Sixth Madam.

After the courtyard quieted down, he gently put Lin Ruoxuan's hand back into the quilt and said softly, "Ruoxuan, have a good rest and don't pay attention to other people's gossip. Hongya, Luqiao, you must take good care of the lady. If you feel unwell, notify me immediately."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, with a look of relief and gratitude in her eyes. She closed her eyes, still looking a little tired.

She leaned lightly against the head of the bed, feeling Gu Nanyuan's concern and a warm feeling in her heart.

Gu Nanyuan looked at her quiet appearance, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He gently tucked in the corners of the quilt, gave her some more instructions, and left.

In the main hall, the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife were already seated with solemn expressions, waiting for the Sixth Master to arrive.

Not long after, Gu Nanyuan also walked into the main hall, and happened to arrive almost at the same time as the Sixth Master.

When Qingxiang saw that everyone was present, he stepped forward, bowed, and reported in a low voice everything that had happened in the courtyard.

He put it simply and clearly, but he did not hide the fact that Sixth Madam insulted and beat Lin Ruoxuan.

When the Sixth Master heard this, his face suddenly turned pale and his eyes were filled with anger.

He turned his head abruptly and looked with wide eyes at the Sixth Madam who was standing beside him with a look of horror on her face.

"You are a stupid woman who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good!" The Sixth Master was so angry that he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the Sixth Madam hard in the face.

The Sixth Madam staggered back a few steps after being hit by the palm. Red and swollen marks instantly appeared on her face. She covered her face and stared at the Sixth Master in a daze, her eyes full of fear and disbelief.

The Sixth Master was furious, his eyes were cold, and he cursed with gnashing teeth: "I warned you a long time ago to keep a low profile, but you didn't listen. You relied on being the Sixth Lady of the Zhenguo Mansion to be arrogant! Not only did you embarrass me today, you also offended the prince and the eldest lady. Now that the Gu family is in disgrace, you still want me to stand up for you?!"

The Sixth Madam's face was covered with tears. She knelt down hurriedly, holding the Sixth Master's clothes tightly with both hands, and begged, "Master, I know I was wrong. I was confused for a moment. Please give me another chance. I will never dare to do it again! Please, for the sake of our friendship over the years, forgive me this time!"

The Sixth Master coldly shook off her hand, his eyes like knives, his tone without a trace of emotion: "In all these years, how could I forgive you once? I have indulged you so many times, and you never restrained yourself! This time, I must divorce you!"

Seeing the Sixth Master's resolute words, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was startled and stepped forward to dissuade him, "Sixth brother, although your wife has gone too far, is it necessary to divorce her? If this matter gets out, it will be disgraceful for the Gu family."

The Duke of Zhenguo also nodded in agreement: "There is really no need to do this. Now that the matter has been made clear, those who should be punished should be punished, those who should be reprimanded should be reprimanded, and she should apologize in public."

However, the Sixth Master seemed to have made up his mind, and said coldly: "Brother and sister-in-law, this matter must be stopped! This foolish woman does not know the seriousness of the matter, and bullies others by taking advantage of her power. If you don't stop, I don't know how many troubles she will cause in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Madam was so frightened that she trembled all over, tears streaming down her cheeks. She cried and begged, "Master, I know I was wrong, please don't divorce me! I will definitely change and never dare to offend anyone again... Please don't divorce me for the sake of my many years of serving you!"

She begged and cried miserably, but the Sixth Master was not moved at all. He turned his head away coldly and didn't want to look at her again.

The Duke of Zhenguo and his wife looked at each other, and for a moment they were at a loss as to how to persuade the couple.

The two thought it was just a small conflict and never expected the situation to get so out of control.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo sighed softly and tried to persuade him: "Sixth brother, you two were a loving couple in the past, why did you have to make such a fuss? You should reconsider and give your wife a chance to mend her ways."

At this moment, Gu Nanyuan watched coldly for a long time, then suddenly smiled calmly and said slowly: "Since Sixth Uncle has decided to divorce his wife, there is no need to delay any longer. Qingxiang, go get some paper and pen, and let Sixth Uncle write the divorce letter on the spot, so that today's matter won't be delayed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire main hall fell into silence.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo finally lost her patience and angrily shouted, "Nanyuan, that's enough! You are being so aggressive and it won't help! This is just a small family matter, why do you have to make such a fuss? Are you trying to bring disgrace to the family by doing this?"

Gu Nanyuan had a cold expression and did not back down. He stood straight and replied calmly, "Mother, if Ruoxuan and I are insulted like this and we don't pursue the matter, how can we be respected by others in the future? Sixth Aunt dared to take action today. If we continue to tolerate her in the future, she may not be willing to repent."

Madam Six was enraged by these words. She glared at Gu Nanyuan and cried, "Nanyuan, you are so cold-blooded! Did you really lose your mind after marrying that vixen? Today I am her elder, so does it not count if she hits me? We are even, so how can you protect her like this and have no mercy on me? You are really a pair of ruthless couples!"

Upon hearing this, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo said sternly, "Nanyuan, if you continue to show partiality, it will inevitably hurt the harmony of your family."

The Sixth Master frowned and said, "Nan Yuan, why do you have to fan the flames? Don't you mind watching the fun?"
