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

Gu Nanyuan's eyes darkened and he slammed his hand heavily on the table: "Zhu Kang!"

Qingji nodded, with a bit of indignation in his tone: "Zhu Kang has always been restless, and now he has become a cripple. I'm afraid he hates the lady so much that he would resort to such despicable means."

Gu Nanyuan sneered, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "He is a capable demon. I didn't take his life at the beginning, but he was so bold and presumptuous!"

He stood up suddenly and walked outside: "Go see father immediately. The Zhu family is reckless this time. I want to let them know the price!"

At the polo match hosted by Princess Lin.

Noble ladies from the capital gathered there, red silks were flying on the horse farm, and toasts were clinking in the manor, making it look magnificent everywhere.

Mrs. Lin, Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao were dressed in simple and elegant clothes, and looked dignified and beautiful standing among the crowd.

A noble lady next to her came over with a smile, but her tone was somewhat deliberate and inquiring: "Oh, Madam Lin, I have heard a lot about the wife of your prince in the past few days. They say that the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion is very powerful. She even dared to use a knife in the Zhu family and scared the woman into giving birth prematurely. As a mother, do you feel proud after hearing this?"

Mrs. Lin's face changed instantly when she heard this. She suppressed her anger and replied, "Family matters are not necessarily understood by outsiders. Ruoxuan is a sensible child. The rumors outside are mostly exaggerated."

The noble lady smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, and her tone became more hostile: "Madam Lin, what you said is not right, right? The reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion has always been very great, how could it allow people to make up stories at random? I'm afraid there will be no waves without wind. You, the wife of the prince, have done a really impressive job."

Several ladies around also began to agree.

"Yes, when the Zhenguo Mansion was selecting a wife, I didn't see that she had such a temper. Now it seems that her temper is a little too strong."

"I also heard that before this lady married into the Gu family, she had caused a big uproar in the Ou family for Miss Lin, and finally forced the Ou family to divorce! Are all the girls in the Lin family such powerful characters?"

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she was extremely angry.

She sneered, with a hint of anger in her tone: "Ruoxuan has been an open-minded person since she was a child, and she is definitely not someone that can be slandered by the petty people in the market! As for how Miss Lin is doing, you don't need to worry about it!"

However, the more Madam Lin refuted, the more the people around her pushed forward, saying, "Ah, Madam Lin, what you said, aren't we qualified to comment? If you think it's inappropriate, why don't you go back and teach your daughter a lesson so that she won't make such a big noise next time?"

"That's right. All the ladies from famous families in the capital are cautious and prudent. Your daughter is so good. She made the whole city know about it with just one move. It's really admirable."

Lin Ruoqiao's face turned red as she listened to this. She clenched her handkerchief tightly and could not help but stand up. Her voice was clear but she suppressed her anger: "My sister is outspoken, but she is definitely not someone who doesn't know her limits. Ruoxuan has always been cautious. How could she be as unbearable as you say?"

When the ladies saw Lin Ruoqiao stand up to defend Lin Ruoxuan, their expressions did not restrain, but their tone became even sharper.

"Oh, this is the seventh daughter of the Lin family, right? She is speaking up for her sister even before she gets married. What a deep sisterly love. However, these things are not groundless after all. How long can you defend your sister?"

"Besides, we are telling the truth. Isn't Miss Seven too protective of her?"

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxue reached out and pulled Lin Ruoqiao, whispering, "Seventh sister, don't say anything."

Then, she looked at the ladies with a cold expression. Although her voice was not loud, it was full of authority: "Everyone, the Gu family and the Lin family will handle Ruoxuan's matter. It is not the place for outsiders to make rash judgments. If you really have the time, you might as well pay more attention to your own families."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several ladies changed slightly. One of them forced a smile and said, "Ms. Lin is quite eloquent, but the innocent are innocent. Why are you so angry? We are just expressing our concern."

Madam Lin could no longer hold back and said in a deep voice, "We all know what kind of person Ruoxuan is. If you continue to use these fabricated things to stir up trouble today, I will not accompany you any longer."

After saying that, she glanced coldly at the ladies, took Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao, turned around and left.

The second lady sat on a low couch, holding a cup of warm tea in her hand and a gentle smile on her face.

Princess Lin broke the silence and said, "Mother, what do you think of the eldest lady of the first house? There has been a lot of talk about her in the capital recently, even at the polo match today."

After hearing this, the Second Madam took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Perhaps in my opinion, this is exactly what is so precious. Ruoxuan is a daring person. She is willing to charge forward for her husband's cousin. How many ladies can compare to her?"

Princess Lin frowned slightly when she heard this, and her tone was slightly questioning: "Mother, do you mean that she did the right thing? But you have also heard the gossip outside. Many people say that she is arrogant and domineering, and some even accuse her of harming Wang Yanqing. Although these rumors are ridiculous, if they spread for a long time, it is inevitable that they will affect her reputation and even the reputation of the Gu family."

The Second Madam put down the teacup and sighed softly: "This world is unfair to women. If women themselves cannot save other women, then our path will become narrower and narrower. Ruoxuan is willing to stand up for Wang Yanqing, which is better than many people."

She paused, her eyes revealing relief: "Have you ever thought that Ruoxuan stood up for Nanyuan's cousin despite the rumors, which shows that she is a person who values ​​love and friendship. In the future, if Nanyuan encounters any storms, such a wife will definitely accompany him and never leave him."

Princess Lin lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "But mother, this is a bit idealistic. Once a woman's reputation is damaged, what can loyalty do? I think her problem of meddling in other people's affairs and being self-righteous is too obvious. She can risk everything for Wang Yanqing today, but there is no guarantee that she will not get into trouble for other things in the future."

The Second Madam's expression did not change when she heard this, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Then according to your opinion, what if it were you? If you were in Yanqing's position, would you hope that your brothers and sisters would stand by and watch and let it go? Or would you hope that they would abandon everything and come to save you even at the risk of being talked about?"

Princess Lin was slightly startled, a complex expression flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing this, the Second Lady softened her tone: "Remember, it's easy to show loyalty, but when it comes time to put in the effort, how many people can do it?"

She spoke slowly, but each word was heavy. "There is a kind of people in the world who are good at speaking and always claim to be loyal, but when something really happens, they just stand by and make comments, fearing that they will get into more trouble."
