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

Although her tone was calm, the coldness between the lines made Mrs. Zhu's heart tremble.

Mrs. Zhu knew that she could not continue to be perfunctory. She was about to say a few more words to negotiate, but she saw the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo stand up and whisper a few words to the nanny beside her.

The nanny quickly came to the door and told Lin Ruoxuan everything.

After hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan's face suddenly darkened. She sneered in a low voice, "The Zhu family is so bold that they can do such a cruel thing. Since they dare to tear each other apart, I don't need to show mercy anymore."

She pondered for a moment, then quickly called over several servants brought by the Wang family: "Go find Lord Wang and several brothers of the Wang family right now, and tell them that the situation at the Zhu family is not good, and that the second young lady's life is in danger. Ask them to come quickly."

Several servants were terrified after hearing this, and quickly nodded in agreement, turned around and left in a hurry.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at the servant accompanying the Gu family and calmly ordered: "Go and inform the prince and the Duke of Zhenguo, and tell them that the Zhu family has the intention to harm people, and ask them to come immediately."

The servant was stunned for a moment, but seeing Lin Ruoxuan's serious expression, he did not dare to hesitate, and agreed and ran out.

Lu Qiao asked in a low voice: "Madam, will this make things too big?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled coldly, her eyes as sharp as a blade: "If we don't make a big fuss, how can we let them know the consequences? The Zhu family is so bold, it is obvious that they have the Wang family in their grasp. At this critical moment, relying on the Wang family will only add to the tragedy. This matter must be intervened by the power of the Gu family, so that they can be afraid."

Luqiao nodded and went to arrange for the servants.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at the closed door of the Zhu family, her eyes deep: "I hope it's not too late."

Afterwards, Lin Ruoxuan followed the nanny into the Zhu family, but she did not go to the front yard, but went directly to the backyard.

Along the way, Lin Ruoxuan carefully looked at the Zhu family's layout, but was secretly calculating in her heart.

Just when I was halfway there, I heard a gentle laugh.

"She's probably in danger this time," the voice was deliberately raised as it reached Lin Ruoxuan's ears, "but we can't keep that bastard. If she really gives birth to the child, it will be terrible."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a woman in gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup standing on the side of the road, talking in a low voice with a maid.

"I guess she is Aunt Ling." The nanny's voice sounded low in Lin Ruoxuan's ears, with disgust, "This is the concubine Zhu Kang brought back from outside."

Lin Ruoxuan lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes and said softly, "She took the initiative to expose her target, saving us a lot of trouble."

Aunt Ling seemed to notice someone passing by and turned to take a look. Although she did not recognize Lin Ruoxuan, it was not difficult to guess her identity from her clothes and temperament.

She gave a provocative smile and deliberately raised her voice: "The eldest lady's yard is over there. What a pity. Whether dead or alive, we outsiders can't say anything."

After Aunt Ling finished speaking, she took the maid's hand and left with brisk steps.

Lin Ruoxuan smiled coldly and said to Hongya and Luqiao behind her: "Aunt Ling is very kind. She just saved us the trouble of searching everywhere."

Hong Ya lowered her voice and said, "Madam, Aunt Ling clearly did it on purpose, and she thought we couldn't hear it."

Lu Qiao looked at Aunt Ling's back and gnashed her teeth: "She just wants to watch the fun, and she said such harsh words, it's simply hateful!"

Lin Ruoxuan raised her hand to stop their anger and whispered, "Don't be angry yet. We don't have much time. Now is not the time to argue with her."

After that, she looked at the nanny beside her and said, "Take your people back to the front yard and ask Madam Wang and my mother-in-law to come over immediately. They need to handle this personally."

The nanny was a little worried: "Madam, it's not appropriate for you to stay here alone. If something happens, I won't be able to explain it."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After that, she turned to Hongya and Luqiao, her tone low but resolute: "You two go to the kitchen and see if there is any fire. If conditions permit, light the kitchen or other hidden places. It doesn't need to be a big fire, just cause chaos."

Hongya and Luqiao looked at each other. Although they were worried, they still agreed in unison: "Yes, Madam!"

Lin Ruoxuan hid in a shadow outside the yard, holding the self-defense dagger given by Gu Nanyuan in her hand. The cold touch made her heart feel a little more at ease.

Intermittent sounds came from the yard from time to time, making her frown and her expression become more solemn.

Soon, Zhu Kang hurried out of the yard with a gloomy face.

He whispered to the servants at the gate: "Guard it well and don't let anyone in."

The servant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Master."

After Zhu Kang walked away, Lin Ruoxuan took advantage of the moment when the servants relaxed their vigilance and slipped in from the side door.

The courtyard was eerily quiet, with only the faint sound of a woman's suppressed screams being heard.

Following the sound, Lin Ruoxuan came to the door of the main room, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

The scene before her stunned her for a moment.

On the bed, Wang Yanqing was struggling with a face full of pain, her hands tightly grasping the sheets, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and the bright red under the bed stung Lin Ruoxuan's eyes.

Without a midwife or a maid, she was the only one who had to endure all this torture.

"Sister!" Lin Ruoxuan suppressed the shock that surged in her heart and quickly walked to the bed.

Wang Yanqing heard the voice and turned her head with difficulty. When she saw a strange woman standing beside her, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

"Who... who are you?" Wang Yanqing asked weakly, her voice almost hoarse, "Please... go inform my mother... let my mother save me, please..."

Her hands weakly grasped Lin Ruoxuan's sleeves, as if she had grasped the last straw.

Lin Ruoxuan took a deep breath, held her hand, and said softly: "Second sister, I am Nanyuan's wife Lin Ruoxuan, you should have heard of my name. I have sent someone to notify the Wang family and the Gu family, they will be here soon. The most important thing for you now is to relax, I will protect you."

Wang Yanqing's tears fell, and her lips trembled: "Lin Ruoxuan... Madam of the Crown Prince... please save my child, please..."

Lin Ruoxuan felt a pang in her heart and her eyes felt a little hot.

She held Wang Yanqing's hand tightly: "Sister, don't be afraid, the baby will be born safely. You must hold on and live. Only by living can you keep all this!"

Outside the yard, flames shot up into the sky. The Zhu family's servants and retainers were busy putting out the fire, and the scene was in chaos.

Aunt Ling hurried to the backyard, her face full of anxiety, but her eyes were full of pride.

She quickly ran to Zhu Kang and whispered:

"Master, this is bad! Someone from the Wang family has sneaked in. I heard from the servants that they seem to be at the Madam's place." She paused, a sinister smile on her lips, "We can take advantage of the chaos to settle this, saying that a thief broke in and hit the Madam. Even if she dies, we can still have an explanation."
