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

Aunt Ling sneered, stepped closer, stretched out her hand to lift Hongya's chin, and said in a deliberately sarcastic tone: "Oh? Madam? That woman who came out of nowhere? Who does she think she is to run wild in the Zhu family? I think she will end up like you sooner or later!"

"Let her go."

A cold and firm voice came from inside the house, breaking the noise in the courtyard.

Aunt Ling looked back and saw Lin Ruoxuan walking out slowly, holding a blood-stained dagger in her hand. Her eyes were cold and there was no fear on her face.

"Madam of the Crown Prince?" Aunt Ling was slightly startled, but soon she sneered again, her tone full of contempt, "Why, you came out to act pretentiously after being caught stealing? Do you think you can scare me with a dagger?"

Lin Ruoxuan slowly approached and glanced coldly at the surrounding maids and servants, her eyes like a knife: "I say it again, let her go."

The old women hesitated and looked at Aunt Ling, as if waiting for her orders.

Aunt Ling sneered and waved her hand: "What are you still standing there for? Catch her! How can a poor old lady turn the world upside down?"

The old women approached Lin Ruoxuan cautiously, with hesitation in their eyes.

But Lin Ruoxuan raised the dagger and said coldly: "Whoever dares to take another step forward, I will make sure she will never be able to leave again."

The bloodstains on the dagger flickered coldly under the candlelight, making everyone feel nervous.

"Do you want to try?" Lin Ruoxuan stepped forward, her voice was not loud but frighteningly cold, "Do you want to work for Aunt Ling or be buried with her?"

The old women looked at each other, hesitated, and finally a few of them quietly took two steps back.

“Useless things!” Aunt Ling’s face darkened. She glared at them fiercely, then snorted coldly and turned to look at Lin Ruoxuan. “Do you really think that you can save yourself by threatening them a few times? This is the Zhu family’s territory. I will order you not to leave today!”

Lin Ruoxuan did not answer, but sneered, suddenly swung the dagger violently, stepped forward quickly, and quickly put the dagger on Aunt Ling's neck!

"Ah!" Aunt Ling screamed suddenly, her face turned pale instantly, and her whole body froze.

"Don't move." Lin Ruoxuan whispered in her ear, "Don't you want to see if I dare to do it? Why not try it now?"

Aunt Ling was trembling all over. She stared at Lin Ruoxuan with wide eyes and squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "You...you are crazy! If you dare to touch me, the Zhu family will not let you go!"

"Zhu family?" Lin Ruoxuan sneered, and slightly exerted force on the dagger in her hand, scaring Aunt Ling to scream, "Don't bring up the Zhu family to scare me. Today I only want your life, and the Zhu family will have to bow their heads."

She raised her head and looked at the maids and servants around her, her eyes as cold as ice: "Go, bring the midwife here. Immediately."

The old women looked at each other, hesitating to move.

"What are you still standing there for!" There was a dangerous chill in Lin Ruoxuan's tone. The tip of the dagger lightly scratched Aunt Ling's neck, leaving a trace of blood.

"Go!" Aunt Ling screamed, her eyes full of fear, "Go! Go now!"

The old women finally reacted and ran out crawling.

Lin Ruoxuan clenched the dagger, her eyes were like knives, and her tone was as cold as ice: "Don't play tricks, my patience is limited."

Aunt Ling was sweating profusely. She nodded repeatedly and dared not make any sound.

Lin Ruoxuan still held the dagger tightly, her eyes as cold as frost, holding Aunt Ling hostage tightly.

Aunt Ling's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and her hair was soaked with cold sweat.

The servants of the Zhu family who were all around were silent as a mouse, and no one dared to act rashly.

Soon, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and Mrs. Wang hurried over.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo saw Lin Ruoxuan standing in the yard at a glance.

Her dress was slightly disheveled, her temples were disheveled, and her face was filled with a fierce and murderous look, completely different from her usual dignified and calm appearance.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo felt her heart sink suddenly and her eyes turned slightly red.

"Ruoxuan..." Lady Zhenguo took a step forward, her voice filled with distress, "What are you doing?"

Lin Ruoxuan looked back at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, her eyes still firm: "Mother, I'm glad you're here. Now is not the time to talk about this. My second sister's life is hanging by a thread. If it is not resolved quickly, the consequences will be disastrous."

Madam Wang followed behind the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, her eyes red from crying. She looked into the room, tightly grasped the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's arm, and said incoherently: "Yanqing... How is Yanqing? Ruoxuan, how is Yanqing? Nothing can happen to her!"

Lin Ruoxuan turned her gaze to Madam Wang, her brows slightly furrowed. She said calmly, "Aunt Wang, Sister Yanqing is still holding on, but she needs a midwife and help. I have asked the Zhu family to find a midwife. If you are really worried about her, please calm down first and stop crying."

Madam Wang was stunned by Lin Ruoxuan's words. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but she still looked at a loss: "I...I know, but what can I do? I really don't know what to do!"

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes flashed with helplessness, and then she turned her gaze to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo: "Mother, the situation is urgent. I have sent someone to notify the male members of the Wang family, as well as my husband and father. Once they arrive, the Zhu family will have no chance of turning the tables. Before they come, I need your support."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly with a complicated look in her eyes: "Ruoxuan, you are the eldest lady of the Gu family. No matter what you do next, I will stand behind you."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded, feeling a little relieved.

She said no more, and ordered in a cold voice: "Take Aunt Ling with you and let's go back to Second Sister's room first. There is also Zhu Kang, the witness, there, so we can have a thorough explanation for everything."

Several people quickly turned around and walked towards the room.

Zhu Kang was tied up in the corner, his face covered in sweat and he was cursing under his breath, but he was unable to struggle because of the injuries on his body.

When he saw Lin Ruoxuan and her group coming in with Aunt Ling, anger burned in his eyes.

"Lin Ruoxuan! You crazy woman! Do you think you can get out of the Zhu family alive?!"

Lin Ruoxuan glanced at him coldly, without any extra emotion in her eyes: "Zhu Kang, you'd better be quiet now, otherwise I don't mind giving you a few more stabs."

Zhu Kang's eyes became even colder when he heard this, but he couldn't refute and could only stare at her viciously.

Lin Ruoxuan walked to Wang Yanqing's bed, looked at her pale face and weak breathing, and frowned deeply.

She turned to look at Madam Wang with an anxious look in her eyes: "Aunt, the midwife hasn't arrived yet, and my second sister's condition is very dangerous. What are you going to do?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned by this question, her eyes full of panic: "I... I don't know... Midwife... It will be fine if the midwife comes, right?"
