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

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo raised her eyes slightly and said calmly, "There has been no news for three days, and the Zhu family didn't even give a single explanation?"

Nanny Wang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Yesterday, Madam was really worried and went to Zhu's house in person, but she didn't see the second young lady. The son-in-law said that the second young lady was emotionally unstable and was about to give birth, so it was inconvenient for her to see people. Madam felt something was wrong, but after all, it was her son-in-law's family, so she didn't dare to get angry on the spot, and could only go back and think of a solution."

Lin Ruoxuan interrupted, "What did the midwife and doctor report today?"

Nanny Wang's face became even uglier. She looked up at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and said, "The midwife and the doctor said that the second young lady was stimulated yesterday and gave birth prematurely. They were preparing to deliver the second young lady, but were driven out by the servants of the Zhu family. The reason was that the Zhu family did not need outsiders to interfere."

The carriage fell into a brief silence.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that her face turned blue. She raised her hand and slapped the carriage hard, making a loud noise. "What a Zhu family! What a Zhu Kang! I said at the beginning that this marriage cannot be agreed to. Yanqing will only suffer if she marries him! What does the Zhu family think of my niece? An empty shell of a noble lady, is she there to cover up your shame?"

Lin Ruoxuan asked softly, "Mammy, what's going on? Why didn't the Zhu family let the midwife deliver the baby for my second sister? What's the relationship between my second sister and my son-in-law like?"

When Nanny Wang heard Lin Ruoxuan's question, she sighed with anger and helplessness in her eyes, "Madam, this matter started a month ago. A month ago, the son-in-law brought his illegitimate daughter back to the mansion. She was nominally a concubine, but in fact, she was given a favor that his wife did not even have."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo widened her eyes, furious: "A concubine? A mistress? Yanqing is still pregnant, and he actually brought a mistress into the house? The Zhu family is clearly bullying!"

Nanny Wang nodded, her voice bitter, "That aunt's daughter is my son-in-law's childhood sweetheart. The two families had a marriage contract, but later the aunt's family fell into poverty and the marriage was called off. But my son-in-law has never lost contact with her. Now, he took advantage of Yanqing's labor to bring her into the mansion, and said that she was pregnant and had been pregnant for three months."

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes flashed with anger: "I see. Zhu Kang hid it very well before marriage and took great care of my second sister, but now his true colors have been revealed."

Nanny Wang gritted her teeth and nodded, "Yes, madam. Before the marriage, the son-in-law was extremely considerate and attentive to the second young lady, but he immediately changed after the marriage. Not only was he cold and distant to the second young lady, he also spoiled the concubine lawlessly. Now the second young lady is nine months pregnant, but he is showing off with his concubine and not allowing the midwife and doctor to deliver the baby. It is clear that he does not care about the second young lady's life!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that she sneered repeatedly: "Good, very good! The Zhu family is really great! Since you dare to bully my niece, I will never let this matter go easily!"

Lin Ruoxuan sat on one side, looking calmly at Madam Wang in front of her.

After a moment, she slowly spoke, her tone somewhat tentative: "Aunt, what do you think about Sister Yanqing's matter? Judging from the current situation, if we want to keep her, we may have to tear our faces apart, and even use guns and knives. If we really get to the point of divorce, can you support her?"

Mrs. Wang trembled slightly, raised her head and looked at Lin Ruoxuan, her eyes full of struggle and complexity.

She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Lin Ruoxuan saw her hesitation, her eyes darkened, and she continued, "Aunt, the fact that you hesitated for a while shows that you actually have an answer in your heart. But the problem now is that if you don't make up your mind, I'm afraid that the Zhu family will take the lead in this matter. What will Sister Yanqing do then?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo gently patted the back of Madam Wang's hand, and said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "Sister, you are a smart person, you must know the current situation. Yanqing is about to give birth, but the Zhu family is in such trouble. If you don't protect her, who can she rely on?"

Seeing that Madam Wang had not spoken for a long time, Lin Ruoxuan sighed and softened her tone: "Aunt, as a junior, perhaps I shouldn't say this to you. But Sister Yanqing's situation reminds me of my elder sister. I was young at the time and didn't know the rules. I didn't even listen to my parents. But if I hadn't fought hard at that time, my elder sister might not even be able to save her life now."

Madam Wang seemed touched, and looked at Lin Ruoxuan with trembling eyes: "Your elder sister...what's going on?"

Lin Ruoxuan fell into reminiscence and said slowly, "After my elder sister married into the Ou family, she was tortured to the point where her life was almost hanging by a thread. I was so anxious at the time that I had no choice but to use my husband's name to threaten the Ou family. To be honest, I was unsure at the time, but I knew that if I didn't make trouble, my elder sister's life would be in vain."

She paused, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "My husband found out later, not only did he not blame me, he also took the initiative to resolve the matter. But I was really prepared for the worst at that time. Whether it was my reputation being ruined or my future being ruined, I didn't care."

Mrs. Wang was horrified and couldn't help muttering, "You really tried your best back then."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded, her eyes calm, "Aunt, what I want to tell you is that you are Sister Yanqing's last resort. As long as you are determined, you must stand up even if it means breaking up or facing a big storm. Life is more important than reputation. As long as you are still alive, you have a future."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and remained silent, the confusion and uneasiness on her face were obvious.

Lady Zhenguo looked at Madam Wang's appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "Ruoxuan is right. Yanqing is your own flesh and blood. Can you really bear to watch her being bullied by those ruthless people in the Zhu family?"

Madam Wang looked up at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, with a trace of confusion in her eyes: "But...if it really comes to that, what will happen to Yanqing in the future?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo looked stern, "She has you and our Wang family! You are her biological mother, and we are her natal family! With you here, what is she afraid of? Can the Zhu family still turn the world upside down?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes turned red and her lips moved, but she said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxuan said softly: "Aunt, I will not follow you into the Zhu family next time. I am an outsider, and it is not appropriate for me to participate in these family affairs. I will stay in the carriage and wait for my mother-in-law. As for what to do, you still have to make up your mind."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded and said, "You have considered it very carefully. Don't worry, your aunt will take care of the next matter."

Soon they arrived outside the Zhu family's gate. Mrs. Wang was supported by a maid and got off the carriage. Her face was covered with tears and she could hardly stand.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo held her in her arms, her tone steady but stern: "Sister, don't cry at this time! Yanqing needs you to hold on. If those people in the Zhu family see your weakness, I'm afraid they will become even more unscrupulous. The most important thing now is to let Yanqing give birth smoothly and save her and the child's lives!"
