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

"Princess Lin," Yu said with a smug smile on her face, "The lady didn't want to move these gifts, but I accidentally mentioned the name of Princess Lin, so she had to compromise and took people to move the gifts. Now she is here to take credit for it."

She thought her moves were clever, and on the surface were a hint to Princess Lin to put pressure on Lin Ruoxuan, but in fact she inadvertently exposed her own mean nature.

However, Lin Ruoxuan already had a sneer in her heart.

She was neither angry nor panicked.

Yu was so low-class that she actually thought she could elevate herself higher by saying such things, but she ended up exposing her own low-class methods invisibly.

Lin Ruoxuan laughed in her heart, thinking of everything in her previous life. She didn't want to waste time on such a person, but the scene in front of her was so stupid that she wanted to laugh out loud. She didn't have to do it herself, Yu Shi would bring shame upon herself.

Princess Lin looked at Yu, with a barely perceptible sneer on her face.

She could see that Mrs. Yu had no idea that she had stepped on a landmine, so she spoke slowly, her voice gentle but intimidating: "I see, so that's the case. So, it seems that the lady really doesn't want to move the gifts. Was it your idea?"

Yu was completely unaware of this, and thought that she had gained the upper hand with these words, so she became even more proud: "Of course, Princess Lin has a big face, I'm afraid the eldest lady really won't do anything. How can such a petty person be worthy of the Gu family?"

However, an accident happened suddenly.

Just as she was confidently waiting for Princess Lin's approval, the Sixth Madam suddenly stood up, her face ashen, and without hesitation raised her hand and gave Yu a loud slap in the face.

"Pa!" The slap was so loud and crisp that everyone was stunned. Yu's face suddenly became red and swollen, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

She covered her face, widened her eyes, and looked at the Sixth Madam in astonishment.

"You idiot!" The Sixth Madam's voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. She scolded coldly, "How dare you do such an ignorant thing? Not only did you bring shame to the Gu family, but you also dared to maliciously slander the Madam in front of so many people. It's simply disgraceful! Apologize to Ruoxuan!"

Yu was dizzy from the slap and tears fell from her eyes.

She covered her face, her lips trembling, and it took her a long time to react.

She gritted her teeth, a stubborn look appeared on her face, her eyes were red, and her voice was trembling: "I... I won't apologize! She is just... ambitious, really ambitious, she doesn't deserve to be in the Gu family at all!"

Her tears had already flowed out, but her face showed strong resistance and she refused to admit her mistake.

She clenched her fists silently: "I don't accept it. Why should I bow my head and apologize? Lin Ruoxuan just married well, why should I bow my head to her?"

Looking at Yu's stubborn and tearful face, the Sixth Lady became so angry that her face turned pale.

Her chest heaved violently, and in the next second she was about to spit out blood in anger.

She glared at Yu fiercely and slapped her a few times.

"Shut up! Shut up!" Madam Six yelled with gritted teeth, her finger pointed directly at Yu's nose, her eyes full of disappointment, "Idiot! You disgraceful thing, how dare you continue to make trouble here?!"

Yu's face had been beaten red and her eyes were blurred with tears. She tried hard not to cry out loud and curled up into a ball.

Madam Six raised her hand to smooth her messy hair, took a deep breath, and forced herself to suppress her anger. Then she turned to face Lin Ruoxuan and forced an unnatural smile on her face: "Ruoxuan, I'm really sorry for today. Yu is a brainless person. She doesn't know how to act and speaks without restraint. You must not bother with her."

Lin Ruoxuan was slightly startled, then smiled faintly, without a trace of unhappiness between her brows: "Sixth aunt is joking, how dare I argue with Yu?"

Madam Six heard the irony in Lin Ruoxuan's words and felt even more ashamed. However, she was powerless to defend herself at this moment and could only laugh dryly: "I feel relieved when you say that. In the final analysis, it was our Sixth House who failed to teach well. Today, I will apologize to you on her behalf."

Lin Ruoxuan slightly turned sideways, lowered her head and replied: "Sixth Aunt, there is no need to do this. Ruoxuan feels ashamed to accept this."

The Sixth Madam was just about to formally apologize when she heard hurried footsteps outside the courtyard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Nanyuan walking in with big strides. There was a layer of frost on his face and his eyes swept over the Sixth Madam and Yu, cold as a knife.

"Sixth Aunt." Gu Nanyuan stood still, speaking in a cold tone, "Ruoxuan and I don't deserve your apology. This matter cannot be covered up with a simple 'brainless'. I will report it to Grandmother in person, and the rules of the Sixth House must be re-established."

The Sixth Madam's face turned pale and she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute.

Gu Nanyuan then turned to the old lady and Princess Lin, his eyes regained their respect, and whispered, "Grandmother, Princess Lin, Ruoxuan's clothes have been soiled. I will take her to change into clean clothes so as not to interrupt your chat."

The old lady nodded slightly, and said in a light tone: "If that's the case, then go."

Although the other elders had their own thoughts, no one dared to say anything, let alone stop them.

Gu Nanyuan said no more, walked straight to Lin Ruoxuan, gently extended his hand, and whispered: "Let's go."

Lin Ruoxuan looked at his affectionate eyes and felt warm in her heart. She raised her hand and placed it in his palm, letting him lead her out of the old lady's yard.

The Sixth Madam slumped on the ground, her face as pale as paper, and she looked as if all the strength had been drained from her.

Her eyes were empty and her lips were trembling slightly. She murmured to herself, "It's over... The Sixth House is finished. Nan Yuan... He has never recognized his relatives..."

She recalled the thunderous methods Gu Nanyuan used when he reorganized the third and sixth rooms. Each one was cold and decisive, without a trace of mercy.

And now, the Sixth Room had actually run into trouble, and Lin Ruoxuan, the person Gu Nanyuan cared about the most, was chosen as the target. This really caused trouble.

Seeing this, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned slightly, but finally took a step forward, leaned over and whispered: "Sixth brother's wife, don't panic. The ground is cold. Get up and talk." She stretched out her hand and helped the Sixth Lady up from the ground.

The Sixth Madam seemed to have grasped the last straw. She tightly grasped the wrist of the Lady of the Zhenguo Duke and begged in a tearful voice, "Sister-in-law, please! Go and persuade Nanyuan. The Sixth House really knows its mistake. As long as he and Ruoxuan are no longer angry, we are willing to do anything! Really, anything!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned even deeper, gently patted the back of the Sixth Madam's hand, and sighed, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You are the elder, how dare Nanyuan get angry with the elder? However, some rules should be established. Nanyuan may not do all this for himself."

Although her words were gentle, they drew a clear line in the sand without making a sound. She neither agreed nor refused, leaving the Sixth Lady shaking her head in panic.
