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

Upon hearing this, both Madam Zhou and Hongya were shocked.

Nanny Zhou snorted coldly, saying in a bad tone: "This Chen Wan, really is planning to use this child to find a way out for herself!"

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes became colder and colder, and her tone was low: "Then what? What is her next purpose?"

The maid replied tremblingly: "Mrs. Chen...she just wants to protect herself. She said that as long as everyone knows that she is pregnant, the Lin family will not dare to do anything to her. She is just a pitiful person, madam...she just wants to seek a stable life and marry a good man."

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

Hongya and Luqiao looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.

Hong Ya couldn't help but whispered, "Marry a good man? Doesn't she know that she is the master's concubine? How dare she have such thoughts!"

Lu Qiao frowned and sneered, "Chen Wan's idea is too absurd. She is obviously the culprit who caused unrest in the Lin family, and she still dares to dream of being a good man!"

Lin Ruoxuan narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were ironic, "My dear? She has thought it through. Unfortunately, she doesn't understand that any plan must be built on the right foundation. She thinks that with a scandal, she can make the Lin family bow down to her? That's too naive."

The maid lowered her head and whispered, "Madam, I know you don't believe what Aunt Chen said, but she really...she really has no other choice. She said that a wealthy family like the Lin family can make her 'disappear' at any time, so she can only take this gamble with all her might."

Lin Ruoxuan was silent for a moment, and a sneer appeared between her eyebrows: "Chen Wan's calculations are indeed very sound, but unfortunately, she underestimated the Lin family and my determination."

She turned to look at the two maids standing beside her and said coldly, "Send her back and continue to serve Chen Wan. But remember, from now on, her every move must be monitored by someone, and any disturbance must be reported immediately."

The old women nodded in agreement and immediately carried the maid out.

In Lin Huaixun's yard.

Lin Huaixun sat on the chair, holding the teacup in his hand for a long time without moving, his eyes distracted and dull.

Although he is obsessed with Chen Wanxin, he has to face the precarious situation inside and outside the Lin family.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a hurried knock on the door.

Lin Huaixun raised his head, frowned slightly, and asked in a slightly tired voice: "Who?"

The door was pushed open, and Lin Ruoqiao rushed in anxiously, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Fourth brother, this is bad, my elder sister was called back by the Qi family and scolded!"

Lin Huaixun's expression changed, and he immediately stood up, saying anxiously, "Scold? Why? Why would the Qi family scold my elder sister?"

Lin Ruoqiao's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "It's all because of what happened between you and Chen Wan! Now the whole city is in an uproar, the Lin family's scandal is making a big fuss, Madam Qi is angry with my elder sister, saying that the Lin family didn't teach their daughter well, and my elder sister was punished to kneel in front of everyone, and everyone in the Qi family is laughing at her!"

After hearing this, Lin Huaixun's face turned pale instantly, and he staggered back a step: "How could...how could this happen? Big sister..."

Lin Ruoqiao wiped her tears and continued to cry: "Fourth brother, do you still remember how good the elder sister was to you? She has always been gentle and modest, and never said a harsh word to you. But now, because of you, she has been humiliated in the Qi family!"

Lin Huaixun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I didn't expect to implicate my elder sister... I never thought about it!"

As he was speaking, Lin Ruoxuan walked in slowly. She was dressed in plain clothes, her face was pale, and there were still traces of tears in her eyes.

She stood in front of Lin Huaixun and said in a hoarse voice: "Fourth brother, I have something to ask you."

Lin Huaixun stared at Lin Ruoxuan in a daze, his eyes full of self-blame: "Eighth sister, tell me... As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice full of pain and helplessness: "Fourth brother, tell me, if the Gu family really divorces me in the future, can I still live in the Lin family in my old age?"

Lin Huaixun was shocked and quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Gu family? Why would the Gu family..."

Lin Ruoxuan choked up and said, "The Gu family has already spoken. They said that the Lin family had a scandal and became a joke in the capital. If it is true, Nan Yuan will be forced to divorce his wife and marry someone else. They don't want the Gu family's reputation to be implicated."

Lin Huaixun's face turned increasingly pale, his hands shaking as he gripped the back of the chair: "I...I..."

Lin Ruoqiao took over the conversation, her tone filled with deep grief and indignation: "Fourth brother, it's fine if you made a mistake yourself, but why did you drag down the eldest sister and the eighth sister? Their happy lives have been ruined, are you worthy of them?"

Lin Huaixun's face was full of regret, he lowered his head and murmured: "I never thought it would turn out like this... I really didn't..."

Lin Ruoxuan looked directly into Lin Huaixun's eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks, her tone revealing hidden pain: "Fourth brother, we are your sisters! You are obviously the eldest son of the Lin family, you should be our pride, why have you become a burden to us? Do you know what the Gu family said about me because of this? They said I am not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and that the Lin family has brought shame to the Gu family!"

When Lin Huaixun heard this, his knees softened and he fell to the ground, covering his face and crying softly: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I was really wrong..."

Lin Ruoqiao's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "Fourth brother, what's the use of your apology? The kneeling punishment of the eldest sister and the danger of the eighth sister being divorced, these are not something that can be redeemed by a simple apology!"

Lin Huaixun raised his head tremblingly, his eyes full of pain: "I will solve it... I will definitely solve this matter. Chen Wan... Chen Wan's problem, I will deal with it, and I will not implicate you again."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard that he finally gave in, she said softly, "I hope you can keep your word this time."

Lin Huaixun has been in a heavy mood ever since Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao left. He sat on a chair, rubbing his forehead unconsciously with his hands, his heart in a mess.

Suddenly, there were messy footsteps and angry shouts outside.

"You bastard! I'll make sure you die knowingly today!"

Lin Huaixun suddenly looked up and his face changed. The next moment, the door was pushed open fiercely and Lin Shiyuan rushed in angrily, with murderous intent between his brows.

He held a cane in his hand and pointed it directly at Lin Huaixun, saying in a thunderous voice: "Kneel down!"

Lin Huaixun's face turned pale. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not move.

Seeing this, Lin Shiyuan was so angry that veins on his forehead jumped. He slammed his cane to the ground with a loud bang. "You still dare to stand there? You rebellious son! Do you know what people are saying about our Lin family now? One said that the eldest son of the Lin family had an affair with his father's concubine, and another said that the concubine was pregnant! People all over the capital are laughing at us! You are really capable!"

Lin Huaixun lowered his head, clenched his fists, and his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.
