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

At this time, the Second Madam looked at Lin Ruoxuan and said softly, "Ruoxuan, don't worry, your mother and I will help you when the time comes. Princess Lin is a gentle and virtuous person, and she is kind to others. You don't need to worry too much."

She paused, then said softly, "Besides, when Princess Lin comes back, I will personally introduce you to her. I believe that you and she will definitely become friends."

Lin Ruoxuan was about to respond, but before she could say anything, Gu Nanyuan spoke first, breaking the silence: "Grandma, there's no need to bother Ruoxuan with the banquet."

As soon as he said this, the room fell silent for a moment.

Madam Gu frowned slightly and turned to look at Gu Nanyuan with some doubt in her eyes.

Lin Ruoxuan's heart tightened, and she stood aside with her head down, wondering why he suddenly interrupted like that.

Gu Nanyuan looked calm and smiled slightly, but his eyes showed a calm determination: "Ruoxuan will come with me to welcome Prince Lin and Princess Lin tomorrow, so we really don't have time to prepare a banquet. In this case, Third Aunt will be in charge of the banquet. This is just an opportunity for the Third House and the Second House to break the ice, and to avoid misunderstandings in the future."

When the second wife heard this, her face suddenly changed.

Before she opened her mouth, the third wife had already reacted and said coldly: "The third wife has few people, so I'm afraid we won't be as adept at preparing as the second wife. But since Nan Yuan said so, we in the third wife can only bite the bullet and do it."

The sarcasm in her tone was self-evident. As soon as she finished speaking, the second lady's tense face appeared.

The Second Lady was already dissatisfied with the Third Wife's behavior, and this remark undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and couldn't help but sneered: "Don't be so modest, Third House. When it comes to preparing for the banquet, you don't seem to be very good at it. If it is really prepared by Third House, our Second House will not come tomorrow to avoid causing trouble again."

The second and third wives were at loggerheads, neither of them willing to give in first.

At this time, Madam Gu frowned slightly and was silent for a moment.

Finally, she spoke, her voice low and powerful, with irrefutable pressure: "Enough!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the dispute between the second and third rooms stopped instantly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her solemn face, even Lin Ruoxuan and Gu Nanyuan stopped what they were doing and waited quietly for her orders.

Madam Gu's face became even more serious. She swept her eyes over the second and third wives. Her eyes were like sharp blades, piercing their soft spots. "You are all going to be grandmothers. Do you still want to get entangled in such trivial matters? Can you be more mature and consider the overall situation?"

She paused, her tone becoming heavier, "The Gu family has come to this point today. You elders should set an example. Can you let go of the grudges of the past and not mention them again?"

Her words struck the hearts of everyone present like thunder. The second and third wives' faces changed and they dared not say anything more.

Although the past grudges had not been completely resolved, Madam Gu's words undoubtedly poured cold water on them.

The Second Madam was originally prepared to make a few more arguments, but after seeing the majesty in Madam Gu's eyes, her heart went cold and she could only lower her head and keep silent.

Madam Gu took a deep breath and continued, "Now that the second and third houses are unwilling to worry about the banquet, let the first house take charge. You are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, so it is natural for you to come forward and take care of it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Second and Third Madams were stunned. They did not expect that Madam Gu would make such a decision.

The two felt somewhat disappointed, but more than that, they felt helpless.

Finally, the second wife smiled coldly, raised her head, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Since mother has made a decision, we naturally dare not say anything more."

The third lady snorted coldly, with displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she said nothing more.

Lin Ruoxuan was watching the argument silently, feeling deeply moved.

Gu Nanyuan noticed Lin Ruoxuan's gaze, smiled slightly, and whispered: "Grandma did a good job."

Back in their yard, Lin Ruoxuan and Gu Nanyuan sat on the swing chair under the corridor.

Lin Ruoxuan leaned on the backrest of the swing chair, slightly tilted her head, looked at Gu Nanyuan, and couldn't help but smile: "It's really speechless. The temper of the third room is so fierce that they can even argue over a banquet. Listening to them arguing, it seems like they are arguing about who can get more favor."

Gu Nanyuan smiled faintly, his eyes gentle: "If they really wanted to do that, they should have known that the first house has the most say. No matter how much the third and second houses fight, they dare not involve us."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded, with a sneer on her face: "Yes, everyone knows that if the first wife is angry, not to mention Princess Lin, even Prince Lin would have to show some respect."

Gu Nanyuan's eyes flashed with a smile after hearing this, and his tone was full of pride: "You are right. If my father or I are angry, no one can help us. Princess Lin's status can intimidate the women in the inner house, but the men working outside dare not consider so much."

He paused, reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and said gently, "But you don't have to worry too much. When I'm at home, no one dares to order you around."

Lin Ruoxuan felt warm in her heart. Looking into his eyes, she smiled softly, "Don't worry, I know you love me."

She gently slapped his hand away and raised her eyebrows playfully, "However, if some people dare to order me to do something, I will definitely let them know how powerful I am."

Gu Nanyuan's eyes narrowed, and he said seriously, "Tomorrow, I will send you back to the Lin family first. When Princess Lin arrives in the capital, I will ask Qingji to send you back. When I'm not at home, you will be alone in the Gu family, and other women may order you to do things."

There was a flash of surprise in Lin Ruoxuan's eyes, and then it was filled with warmth.

She knew that Gu Nanyuan had never done anything to make her feel embarrassed, especially when it came to the Gu family, he always stood by her side.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. You have made your attitude clear today. Everyone else in the Gu family knows that I am your wife, and no one dares to offend you."

Gu Nanyuan smiled slightly, his eyes soft: "I married you to spoil you and live with you, not to be ordered around by others to do work."

Lin Ruoxuan felt his tenderness and sincerity, and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before.

She looked up and looked at him, her lips curled up, a gentle smile filled her face: "I know, Nanyuan, thank you."

The next morning, just after daybreak, Gu Nanyuan went into the palace early and accompanied the prince to welcome Prince Lin.

The Gu family courtyard was as quiet as usual. Lin Ruoxuan was dressed neatly, combing her hair, and preparing some daily affairs.

After Gu Nanyuan left, Lin Ruoxuan went to see the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo to see if there was anything she could help with.
