After the tension between the grandparents and grandchildren eased, the atmosphere in the entire Fu'an Hall became much better.

The old lady ignored the jealous looks of Lin Ruoxi and the other two and asked Lin Ruoxuan in a gentle voice, "Xuan Jie'er, now that Xue Jie'er is back, where are you going to place her?"

Without waiting for Lin Ruoxuan to answer, she continued, "There is a three-story house in Yuying Lane. I think it's good. Sister Xue is pregnant and needs some quiet time. That house is perfect for her."

"Grandma, although Yuying Lane is nice, it's not as good as home." Lin Ruoxuan said with a smile, "Big sister can live in Qingxue Cottage, where you are still unmarried. It will be convenient for family members to take care of you. Big sister is also familiar with it, so she will feel at ease."

"Nonsense!" the old lady said angrily, "How can a divorced woman live back in the courtyard where she lived as a girl? You must not do anything that breaks the rules."

"Even if we let Sister Xue live in Qingxue Cottage, what about the child? We should send the child to the Ou family after it is born. There is no need for us to raise offspring for the Ou family."

"Grandma, I've already thought about this. My elder sister will surely get married in the future. If I take this child with me, wouldn't it be a burden?"

Lin Ruoxuan looked at the old lady with a smile, and said, "When the child is born, it will be registered under Fourth Brother's name. Born in the Lin family, the child will naturally be a member of the Lin family."

"Whether the elder sister lives with the child or marries someone else in the future, the child will not be affected in any case."

"Nonsense!"

The old lady frowned. The joy she had felt when she knew that Lin Ruoxuan and the son of the Duke of Zhenguo were almost certain to get married disappeared, and only anger remained: "Xuan Jie'er, do you know the consequences?"

"Grandma, what are the consequences?" Lin Ruoxuan put away her smile and said seriously, "It's just that people will talk about it for a few days. What's the big deal? People live their lives with a clear conscience."

"Grandmother, if a big family wants to prosper for a hundred years, it is natural that we must work together and understand the principle of prosperity and adversity. My elder sister just divorced and did not commit any of the seven grounds for divorce. On the contrary, the Ou family is not a human being. They bully my elder sister everywhere and even have an affair with the daughter of a traitor. There are still two bastards left."

"If we don't divorce today, and someone uses the daughter of a guilty minister to make trouble in the future..."

Lin Ruoxuan coughed twice.

My granddaughter doesn't have any other advantages, except for one thing, which is that she is extremely protective of her elder sister. Not to mention that my elder sister is now divorced and has not remarried, even if my elder sister has someone she likes and wants to remarry, I don't want anyone to stop her."

"Xuan Jie'er, what do you mean by this? Are you saying this to an old woman like me?"

"My granddaughter doesn't dare. I just want to make it clear that if anyone makes my elder sister unhappy, I will make that person unhappy."

Lin Ruoxuan looked around and gently brushed off the non-existent dust on her sleeves: "My granddaughter is incompetent. In the future, she will only be the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. Although she is not very capable, I think it should be relatively easy to protect a big sister, right?"

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

Although the old lady was very angry, as Lin Ruoxuan said, with their family background, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion that Lin Ruoxuan would marry into in the future was already the best marriage.

Not to mention these illegitimate daughters, no matter how high a position a illegitimate daughter marries, she can never be as good as Lin Ruoxuan.

The old lady thought about it and felt that the Lin family might still need Lin Ruoxuan's support in the future, so even if she was angry, she could only bear it for now.

Look at Lin Ruoxi and the other two. Even though they were quick to criticize Lin Ruoxuan before, in fact, you can still see the difference between these three.

They are not fools. Even if they hate Lin Ruoxuan in their hearts, now that they see that the old lady has lost her temper, they will naturally not rush forward stupidly.

The three of them looked at each other, then lowered their heads and began to drink tea. Hmm... this Longjing tea after the rain is really good. Let's drink more.

Seeing that her three sisters and the old lady had shut up, Lin Ruoxuan did not push any further.

Having lived two lives, Lin Ruoxuan had already learned to stop when things were going well. Anyway, she couldn't wait to expose her relationship with Gu Nanyuan today, and took the trouble to show the bracelet Gu Nanyuan gave her, just to let these people who didn't want to get ahead know that they shouldn't easily provoke her, otherwise...

Lin Ruoxuan was thinking in her mind, with a slight smile on her face.

After a few people sat in Fu'an Hall for a while, the old lady looked at Lin Ruoxuan more and more upset, so she simply waved her hand and said, "You guys go back, I'm tired."

"Granddaughter resigns."

After a unanimous voice, Lin Ruoxuan and a few others walked out of Fu'an Hall together.

Looking at Lin Ruoxuan's back, Lin Ruoxi said that she was not envious, but that was a lie. She thought of the old lady's attitude towards Lin Ruoxuan, and how Lin Ruoxuan had said such things but was not punished. She only hated that she had not married Gu Nanyuan.

After Lin Ruoxuan walked away, Lin Ruoxi and the other two finally plucked up the courage to start complaining about Lin Ruoxuan.

Lin Ruoying was the first one who couldn't help herself. She looked at Lin Ruoxuan's back, her eyes filled with envy and jealousy that she herself hadn't noticed: "Third sister, look at Lin Ruoxuan's... that arrogant look! She even dared to talk back to grandma!"

"That's right. If it weren't for Lin Ruoxuan insisting on my elder sister's divorce, our reputation would definitely be good now."

When Lin Ruoting thought of this, she became angry: "I have to go to my sister's house to play tomorrow. They will definitely laugh at me about my eldest sister's affairs. I don't want to go!"

"No hurries?"

Lin Ruoxi is older than Lin Ruoying and Lin Ruoting, and her mind is more meticulous. She pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Grandmother doesn't want to argue with her because of the Zhenguo Mansion. Why do you think she is so arrogant? Isn't it because the Zhenguo Mansion is protecting her now?"

"What can we do if we know? We still can't deal with her."

Lin Ruoying curled her lips in disdain, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face: "Third sister, don't say these useless words."

"No use?"

Lin Ruoxi's smile was a little stiff. She squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Ruoying: "Fifth sister, could it be that Zhang Xiaoniang hurt your brain when she gave birth to you? She made you so stupid!"

"Third sister, why are you——"

"Grandma is just a woman who is devoted to the Lin family. But Eighth Sister's arrogance should be controlled. Since Grandma can't control her, why can't we find Father?"

"What does Third Sister mean?"

"Let's go. I remember that at this time of year, my father would usually be in the study practicing calligraphy or reading."

Lin Ruoxi shook her sleeves and walked towards Lin Shiyuan's study first. As she walked, she reminded Lin Ruoying and Lin Ruoting behind her: "When you get to father's place later, don't just talk about your own grievances. We just need to say that grandma was wronged by our eighth sister."
