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

Zhang Mo immediately asked the servant to go and get Lin Ruoxuan. He had already realized that Lin Ruoxuan was now in charge of all the affairs of the Lin family.

Lin Ruoxuan took the visiting card handed over by the servant, her expression still calm. She twisted the paper in her hand and whispered, "Prepare the horses, I'm going to the Zhang family."

When she arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Mo was already waiting in the courtyard. When he saw her, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, saying sincerely, "Madam, it is an honor to have you come in person."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, and then went straight to the point: "Master Zhang, what exactly is the matter that called me here today?"

Zhang Mo's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little hesitant, but he quickly regained his composure: "Madam, I invited you here this time because I hope to talk to you about the matter of the Seventh Miss."

His voice was low and a little nervous, but he didn't dare to look Lin Ruoxuan in the eye.

Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, stood there, and looked at Zhang Mo calmly.

"Do you want to marry my seventh sister?" Her tone was calm and gentle, yet could not be ignored.

Zhang Mo nodded hurriedly, his voice sounding somewhat urgent: "That's right, I am sincere to Miss Seven, not for the Lin family's property, nor for taking advantage of her identity. I am willing to give everything for her, just to spend the rest of my life with her."

Lin Ruoxuan did not answer immediately, but just stared at Zhang Mo quietly with sharp eyes.

After a moment, she asked softly, "Do you know that the Lin family is now in the limelight, and many people want to achieve their own goals through Seventh Sister. If you are sincere to her, how can you do it so that people will not doubt you?"

Zhang Mo's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure, his eyes firm: "That's why I hope to express my sincerity in person. Although I'm not afraid of others doubting me, I'm willing to prove my sincerity with actual actions, not verbal promises."

Lin Ruoxuan was quite satisfied with Zhang Mo's answer and nodded slightly. "Actual actions are indeed more powerful than empty promises. But you have to understand that the Lin family's affairs are not a joke. We will not be careless about Seventh Sister's marriage."

Zhang Mo swallowed nervously and said quickly: "I understand, and I am willing to explain clearly about Song Yuqing. At that time, I did intend to approach her in order to teach her a lesson."

"Who would have thought that Song Yuqing would be so bold as to sell fake goods, causing harm to so many people. I discussed this with Wang Quan in advance, so I didn't get myself involved. Now that Song Yuqing is dead, it's a good thing for the Song family. If she were alive, she would definitely cause even greater trouble in the future."

Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "If you really treat my Seventh Sister, you will be less cunning and less calculating. She is a simple woman who doesn't want to be controlled by anyone."

Zhang Mo's eyes were tense when he heard this, but he nodded quickly and said sincerely, "I promise, Madam, I will never do anything to make Miss Seven unhappy again. If there is any falsehood, please point it out in time."

Lin Ruoxuan looked at him, as if trying to figure out his expression. She spoke slowly, "You can pursue my Seventh Sister, but you must be careful. I just hope that if you have her in your mind, you won't disturb her easily."

Zhang Mo said earnestly, "Please rest assured, I will cherish Miss Seven and will never let her suffer any injustice."

After getting the promise, Lin Ruoxuan left the Zhang family.

In the next few days, Lin Ruoxuan was very busy, shuttling between the courtyards.

She personally directed her servants to arrange the welcoming of Princess Lin and prepare various receptions, not daring to be careless at all.

The long table in the room was filled with a wide variety of gifts, flowers, and decorations, all designed to match the noble temperament of Princess Lin.

At the same time, members of other branches of the Gu family were also busy.

Gu Nanyuan had just returned from the palace. When he saw his parents, he immediately bowed with a respectful look.

"Father, mother," Gu Nanyuan whispered, "Princess Lin has decided to arrive in the capital tomorrow afternoon, and Prince Lin will also be accompanying her."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She nodded slightly and took a deep breath. "Finally here. It wasn't easy. Are you all ready? There can't be any mistakes tomorrow."

Madam Gu glanced at the several descendants present and said in an unquestionable tone: "Everyone should remember to be polite to others and not be disrespectful in the slightest."

She paused, then slowly spoke: "As for where Princess Lin lives, since it is the emperor's will, our Gu family must respect it. Nanyuan, how about the courtyard you arranged for Princess Lin?"

Gu Nanyuan knew that his grandmother would definitely ask this question. He raised his head slightly, looked calm, and replied calmly: "It has been arranged. Princess Lin and Prince Lin will live in the East Garden. The emperor arranged it personally. I have explained the details to the housekeeper."

Madam Gu's expression softened a little after hearing this, but she soon regained her usual dignity: "Well, if that's the case, then there's no need to mention it again. Don't make Princess Lin unhappy because of some trivial matters tomorrow."

She patted the small fan in her hand gently and continued, "No matter what happens tomorrow, everyone must stay at home to welcome Princess Lin. Don't lose your manners because of anything."

After Madam Gu finished speaking, she glanced at everyone again, and finally set her eyes on Lin Ruoxuan: "As for the arrangements for this banquet, I'll leave it to you."

Lin Ruoxuan turned around and bowed her head: "Yes, grandma." Her voice was soft, but there was a hint of uneasiness in her heart.

Madam Gu smiled slightly, seemingly unaware of her hesitation, and continued, "The Emperor personally arranged the trip for Princess Lin and Prince Lin, and we in the Gu family cannot be negligent in the slightest. We must also pay special attention to the details of the banquet, after all, we have to show the style and etiquette of the Gu family."

As soon as she finished speaking, the nanny beside her handed her a roll of paper, which recorded the dietary preferences and taboos of each member of the Gu family.

Lin Ruoxuan took the roll of paper and unfolded it. She saw that it was filled with details, ranging from taste and dish combinations to the special requirements of each family member.

Lin Ruoxuan's scalp tingled and she couldn't help feeling anxious.

Could such a tedious task be properly prepared in such a short time? As she read the note, she felt an inexplicable pressure welling up in her heart.

"Grandmother, this... the preferences and taboos of so many people are really... difficult to arrange in such a short time." She raised her head, her eyes unable to hide her fatigue, "If it is not appropriate, it may cause Princess Lin to be unhappy."

Madam Gu's eyes darkened, and she said impatiently, "I know this is not easy, but this is the time to test your ability to do things. If the Gu family can get the approval of Princess Lin, there will be more opportunities in the future."

She paused, and said in an unquestionable tone: "You have just joined the Gu family and are still young, but you should also know that there are things that you have to take responsibility for. The banquet is not only to welcome Princess Lin, but also to gain face for the Gu family. You can't let it down."
