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

After listening to this, Lin Ruoxuan immediately asked Hongya to tell the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and she hurriedly left and returned to the Lin family.

As soon as she stepped into the front yard, she heard the sound of the whip hitting flesh mixed with Lin Huaixun's suppressed groan.

She looked up and saw Lin Shiyuan holding a long whip, angrily swinging it at Lin Huaixun who was kneeling on the ground.

On the other side, Chen Wan was tied up and curled up on the ground, her body covered with whip marks, her clothes soaked with blood, and she was dying.

Sun Rong, Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao stood aside, crying inconsolably, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.

When Sun Rong saw Lin Ruoxuan coming, she stepped forward and grabbed Lin Ruoxuan's hand, choking with sobs and saying, "Ruoxuan, please try to persuade your father! Huaixun may have made mistakes, but if he continues to be beaten like this, he will die!"

Seeing Lin Shiyuan waving the whip wildly, the whip shadows landed on Lin Huaixun's back and arms, splashing blood. Lin Ruoxuan's heart tightened, and without thinking too much, she rushed forward and wanted to stand in front of Lin Huaixun.

"Father, calm down! If Fourth Brother was beaten to death by you, then what's the point of finding out the truth?" Lin Ruoxuan's voice was anxious and choked with sobs.

Lin Shiyuan had no intention of stopping, and shouted angrily: "Calm down? Ruoxuan, do you know what shameful thing he did? How can I calm down?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the whip and lashed down again.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Lin Ruoxuan became anxious and simply stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Huaixun.

Seeing that Lin Shiyuan had no time to retract his whip, Lin Ruoxuan could only use her body to protect Lin Huaixun.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the whip hit Lin Ruoxuan's back with such force that her eyes went dark and she almost fell down.

At the same time, the whip tip brushed across her cheek, causing a burning pain. The next moment, everyone heard Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoqiao scream.

“Ruoxuan!” Sun Rong covered her mouth with both hands, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

Lin Shiyuan was also stunned by this scene. The whip in his hand fell to the ground and his voice trembled: "Ruoxuan, you..."

Lin Ruoxuan endured the pain and hugged Lin Huaixun tightly behind her, her voice hoarse: "Father, you can't beat him anymore! If Fourth Brother is really wrong, you can ask him clearly before dealing with him, but he is also your son, the flesh and blood of the Lin family, you can't beat him to death like this!"

Lin Shiyuan's gaze fell on Lin Ruoxuan's face that was scratched by the whip. Seeing the long red mark with blood oozing out, his expression suddenly became complicated, as if he was feeling a little regretful.

He snorted coldly, suppressed his anger, and yelled to the servant beside him: "What are you still standing there for? Go and get the doctor!"

The doctor arrived quickly.

Lin Ruoxuan sat on a chair, her clothes on the back soaked with blood.

The doctor carefully uncovered the cloth and saw the wound on her back. He frowned and said, "Madam, this whip wound is not light. Fortunately, it is only an external injury and has not hurt the bones and muscles. But you have to take good care of it. The wound cannot be exposed to water and you cannot eat spicy food, otherwise it will easily get infected."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded and said softly, "Excuse me, doctor. I'm fine. Please go and see my fourth brother. He is more seriously injured than me."

However, the doctor insisted on treating Lin Ruoxuan's wound first.

Hongya and Luqiao stood by, their eyes red. Luqiao couldn't help but whispered, "Madam, you are injured like this, but you are still thinking about Fourth Brother. It's really heartbreaking."

Lin Ruoxuan waved her hands gently, and said calmly: "He is my brother, he is seriously injured, so I naturally have to take care of him first."

After Lin Ruoxuan's wound was treated, she asked Hongya to bring a doctor to apply medicine to Lin Huaixun.

Afterwards, Lin Ruoxuan walked into the front yard and heard Sun Rong wiping her tears and crying to Lin Ruoxue in a choked voice: "Your father is so cruel! He beats me whenever he wants. Huaixun is his biological son. If something really happens, what will happen to the Lin family in the future?"

Lin Ruoxue sat aside, also with a worried look on her face, and gently advised: "Mother, don't be too sad. Fourth brother has always been the most obedient since he was a child. He is honest and loyal. He would never do such a thing for no reason. Most likely, it was that bitch Chen Wan who seduced Fourth Brother!"

"That's right!" Sun Rong wiped her tears with a handkerchief after hearing this, her tone was indignant, "Huai Xun lives in the front yard, and he usually goes in and out in a proper manner. If Chen Wan hadn't approached him, how could he have been involved with her? All of this is Chen Wan's fault!"

Lin Ruoxue nodded in agreement: "If we really trace this matter back to its source, it is ultimately father's fault. If he hadn't married Chen Wan, how could all these messes have happened? Mother, don't cry, Huaixun is innocent. I believe that when Ruoxuan comes back, she will be able to find out the truth."

Lin Ruoxuan coughed lightly and walked forward: "Mother, big sister."

When Sun Rong heard her voice, she quickly grabbed her hand, her eyes full of distress: "Ruoxuan, how come you are injured too? Look at your face!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her fingers gently brushed the scars on her daughter's face, tears falling again, "Your father is so impulsive! There have been enough things going on in our family over the years. The matter with Liu Xiaoniang has just been settled, and now there is this mess with Chen Wan. This life... This life is really unbearable!"

She asked in a cold voice, getting straight to the point: "Fourth brother, Chen Wan, what's going on? You two, explain everything from beginning to end."

Lin Huaixun's face was covered with whip marks. He lowered his head and spoke in a weak but ambiguous voice: "Ruoxuan, it's my fault... Three months ago, I came back from the academy. That day, Chen Wan was walking in the garden and we ran into each other by chance... Later, she took the initiative to approach me many times and said some ambiguous words. Over time... then..."

When he said this, he clenched his teeth in shame, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Good fellow, three months? In other words, not long after you came back, Fourth Brother, you and Chen Wan started to sneak around?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wan immediately knelt on the ground, crying and shouting: "Madam, this is really not my intention! It was the young master...it was the young master..."

Lin Ruoxuan interrupted her and asked coldly: "Then let me ask you, who took the initiative to seduce him? Since you are the one calling him Young Master, why do you, a concubine, frequently approach the Fourth Young Master? Do you want my father to whip you more by not following the rules?"

Chen Wan was silent as a cicada, not daring to speak any more, she just lowered her head and cried.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lin Shiyuan with a helpless look in her eyes: "Father, you got so angry this morning and made such a big fuss about Fourth Brother and Chen Wan. Did all the servants in the mansion know about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire main hall fell into silence.

Lin Shiyuan's face turned pale, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, but he couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

Lin Ruoxue bit her lip and said carefully: "Ruoxuan, father was really angry this morning, and we couldn't stop him... Now everyone in the mansion is really..."

"It is indeed known to everyone, isn't it?" Lin Ruoxuan took over the conversation and sneered, "It seems that it is not just in the mansion, but now it is spread all over the capital, right? 'My son stole my woman', this good play of the Lin family is probably already known throughout the city."
