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

Lin Ruoxue was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. Finally, she nodded gently: "Okay, let's go back together."

Gu Nanyuan glanced at the two of them, then turned his gaze to Lin Ruoxuan: "Ruoxuan, what about you? Do you want to go back to the Gu family?"

Lin Ruoxuan raised her head slightly, her eyes calm but faintly revealing fatigue: "I can't escape what I have to face. I will go back and explain everything."

Unexpectedly, Gu Nanyuan shook his head decisively: "You don't have to go back, let me handle this matter."

Lin Ruoxuan was stunned: "But those rumors..."

Gu Nanyuan walked up to her, his tone unquestionable: "You stay in the Lin family and help Miss Seven sort out things here. These things should not be borne by you. With me here, you don't have to worry about the problems of the Gu family."

Lin Ruoxuan opened her mouth, but finally did not insist and just nodded gently: "Okay, then you should be more careful."

Afterwards, Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen left and went to the Gu family and Qi family respectively.

Lin Ruoqiao sat next to Lin Ruoxuan and couldn't help but sigh: "The prince really knows how to love people better than my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law knew that my sister was scared, but he still let her go back with him. I guess he doesn't care enough about her."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's not that my brother-in-law doesn't care about my sister, it's just his personality. He thinks that husband and wife should advance and retreat together, and he doesn't want to shoulder all the problems alone. Besides, my sister is soft-hearted, she can hide for a while, but not forever. After experiencing such changes a few more times, she will be more calm in the future. It's good to rely on others to protect you, but being strong yourself is the best support."

Lin Ruoqiao nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense. Indeed, it is more important to rely on yourself in everything."

Gu Nanyuan's words before he left suddenly popped up in Lin Ruoxuan's mind. She couldn't help but whispered, "In fact, Nanyuan also agrees with this. It's just that he is better at handling these things than Ze Shen. He will let his brother-in-law protect my elder sister."

Lin Ruoqiao smiled and said, "That's good. With the efforts of my brother-in-law and the prince, my sister's condition will definitely get better."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded gently, her eyes gentle and determined: "Yes, everything will pass."

Lin Ruoxuan then told Lin Ruoqiao about the serious matters: "Seventh sister, let's proceed according to the plan. Go to Fourth Brother first and tell him about the difficulties that Big Sister was faced with in the Qi family. You must make him feel guilty and stressed. When he is completely upset, I will go and tell him about how the Gu family was facing difficulties with me."

Lin Ruoqiao frowned slightly, with a worried tone in her voice: "If I force Fourth Brother like this, will he really give in?"

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes were calm and resolute: "He has no choice. Now is not the time for us to be lenient to Chen Wan. He must understand the devastating impact of this incident on the entire Lin family."

Lin Ruoqiao nodded: "Okay, then I'll go to Fourth Brother now."

At this time, Hongya and Luqiao in the house heard the noisy noise and immediately got up and walked quickly to the yard.

I saw two old women grabbing a maid and arguing fiercely about something.

Hongya frowned and walked forward, asking in a cold voice: "What happened? Why are you making so much noise?"

One of the maids turned around and said, "Madam, this is Chen Wan's personal maid, but she just came back from outside. She must have gone to do something for Chen Wan! Now that the matter has become so serious, she still dares to run around. She must have bad intentions!"

Another woman agreed, "Yes, when we stopped her, she was hesitant and refused to explain clearly. It's obvious that there is something fishy going on!"

The captured maid was terrified, lowered her head and dared not look at anyone, and frantically explained: "I...I just went out to buy some things, I really didn't do anything bad!"

Hearing this, Hong Ya's eyes turned cold and she waved her hand, saying, "Stop talking. Bring her to the lady and see what she is up to!"

The two old women responded in unison and dragged the maid towards the main hall.

Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly when she saw Hongya and the maids coming in with their servants: "What happened?"

Hongya stepped forward quickly and reported everything that had happened.

The two maids also interrupted and said, "Madam, this girl looks strange, there must be something fishy! She is someone close to Chen Wan, and she suddenly ran outside. She might be delivering some news for Chen Wan!"

Lin Ruoxuan put down the account book, and glanced coldly at the maid kneeling on the ground, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Tell me, what did you do when you went out?"

The maid trembled like a sieve, gritted her teeth, raised her head, and said with a stiff face: "Madam... I am not lying, someone in my family... someone in my family is sick, and I am anxious to go back to see my relatives..."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan sneered, her voice as cold as ice: "Is someone sick at home? This is interesting. You keep saying that you are in a hurry to go home, but the Lin family never lets servants go out without reason. What's more, I remember that you seem to be an orphan. Hongya, go and invite Madam Zhou who is beside your mother, and ask her where this maid came from."

Hongya nodded and quickly retreated.

When the maid heard the words "Madame Zhou", her face turned pale instantly and she kowtowed repeatedly in panic: "Madam, I was wrong! I really have no ill intentions, it's just... it's just..."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her hand to interrupt her, her eyes cold and stern: "Let's talk about it when Nanny Zhou comes."

Soon, Nanny Zhou came in quickly.

After Madam Zhou saluted Lin Ruoxuan, she looked at the maid on the ground with a serious expression: "Madam, what did this girl do wrong?"

Lin Ruoxuan said calmly, "She said someone in her family was sick and she was anxious to go back to visit. I remember she was an orphan. Madam, you know whether this is true or not, right?"

Nanny Zhou sneered and said mercilessly: "This girl is indeed an orphan. She was sold to the mansion by human traffickers when she was young. How could she have any family? She is really a liar."

Upon hearing this, the maid turned pale, her body softened and she almost collapsed to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Madam, please spare me! I was wrong! I will never lie again! Please, for the sake of my young age and ignorance, forgive me this time!"

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her coldly, her tone cold: "Young and ignorant? If I forgive you, wouldn't it encourage you to be bolder if you are full of lies? I can tell you the truth: if you don't tell the truth, I can't protect you."

She turned her gaze and looked at Nanny Zhou: "This girl keeps saying that she is doing things for Chen Wan, but I think she really doesn't know how to live or die."

Nanny Zhou sneered, her tone full of sarcasm: "Madam, Chen Wan has no way out now. She can't even save herself, so who else can she save? If this girl wants to be buried with Chen Wan, she should continue to be stubborn."

The maid raised her head and hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to hide something, but after meeting Lin Ruoxuan's sharp gaze, she couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly said, "Madam Chen... ask this maid to go out and spread the news of her pregnancy. The wider the better, let the whole capital know that she is pregnant with the Fourth Young Master's child."
