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

The old lady looked up at him for a while, but in the end she said nothing more. She just instructed the nanny beside her: "Go and get the set of South Pearl head ornaments and two pairs of gold bracelets from the storeroom."

The nanny obeyed the order and left. Not long after, she came back with the box and placed it in front of Qi Zeshen.

The old lady's eyes were cold, and her tone was still indifferent: "Since you have come here specially to announce the good news, I, as your grandmother, cannot let you make a wasted trip. Take the things, and go back and tell Ruoxue to take good care of the baby and don't make any more trouble."

Qi Zeshen looked down at the boxes of jewels, smiled and bowed: "Thank you for the gift, Grandma. Ruoxue will definitely take good care of the pregnancy, so you don't have to worry about it."

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer. He turned around and left the main hall in a cool manner without even looking back.

The old lady looked at his back, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

As soon as Qi Zeshen returned to the Qi family, he ordered the servant to prepare a gift box and convey the good news to the Lin family.

He specifically instructed the servant: "Explain the details so that the Lin family can feel at ease. Remember to bring more cakes and supplements. This is what Ruoxue specially asked me to prepare."

The servant nodded repeatedly, responded respectfully and left.

At the same time, the Lin family seemed particularly depressed because of a series of troubles.

Sun Rong leaned against the main hall, rubbing her temples tiredly, her brows full of worry.

"Madam, the servant of the Qi family has brought good news!" A servant hurried into the main room, his tone unable to hide his excitement.

Sun Rong immediately sat up straight, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "What good news?"

The servant handed over the gift box with both hands, his tone full of joy: "The eldest brother-in-law personally sent it here, saying that the eldest girl is pregnant!"

Lin Ruoqiao stood up excitedly, tears in her eyes: "Big sister is pregnant? Is it true?"

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe this unexpected good news.

The servant nodded solemnly: "It's true. The eldest brother-in-law specifically instructed us to make sure that the Madam and the Seventh Miss are at ease."

Upon hearing this, Sun Rong covered her mouth and tears almost immediately welled up in her eyes: "God bless our Lin family, we finally have good news! Ruoxue is pregnant, this is really a gift from God!"

Lin Ruoqiao didn't care about her image and threw herself into her mother's arms, tears streaming down her face: "Mom, this is so good, so good! Big sister will definitely be very happy!"

Sun Rong gradually calmed down, wiped her tears, and smiled easily: "Ruoqiao, take some time these few days to go to the Qi family with Ruoxuan to see your sister. I really can't get away here, and I have to deal with the mess that Old Four has made."

Lin Ruoqiao nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely go, mother, don't worry."

The next morning, when Lin Ruoqiao arrived at Gu's house, Lin Ruoxuan saw Lin Ruoqiao coming over with a happy face. She couldn't help but smile softly: "Seventh sister, you came here so early, is there something urgent?"

"It's not an emergency." Lin Ruoqiao shook her head playfully. "My mother asked me to come. We sisters should go to see our elder sister and comfort her."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded: "In that case, let's set off as soon as possible so as not to keep Big Sister waiting for too long."

The two sisters arrived at Qi's house with ease.

As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw Lin Ruoxue wearing a simple and elegant light green gauze dress, leaning on the couch, with a somewhat peaceful look on her face.

When she saw her two younger sisters coming in, her eyes suddenly lit up and she stood up to greet them with a smile: "Ruoxuan, Ruoqiao, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Lin Ruoqiao quickly supported her to prevent her from moving too much: "Sister, don't move. You have to be more careful when you are pregnant. We are here to see you. When mother heard that you were pregnant, she was so happy that she almost asked Ruoxuan and I to fly over immediately."

Lin Ruoxue's face was full of happy smiles, and she gently stroked her slightly bulging belly: "This child... I always feel that the previous child has come back to find me. The previous child was a lifelong worry for me, and now that I have this one, I feel at peace."

Lin Ruoxuan's heart trembled slightly. She walked forward and held her elder sister's hand, saying gently, "Elder sister, these things are in the past. You must remember not to look back in the future, but to keep moving forward. If you are always trapped in the memories of the past, your life will be hopeless."

Lin Ruoqiao also nodded in agreement: "Yes, big sister, now that you have this child, you must cherish it and take good care of yourself and the baby. The pain of the past is not to make people entangled, but to make us cherish the person in front of us."

Hearing this, the sadness in Lin Ruoxue's eyes was gradually replaced by a smile: "You are right, I shouldn't be obsessed with the past. With this child, Ze Shen is as happy as a child, and my knot in my heart can finally be untied."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was relaxed and warm.

Lin Ruoxue changed the subject, looked at Lin Ruoxuan and teased, "Ruoxuan, the Gu family is looking forward to you and the prince having a child soon. When do you plan to let mother and grandmother hold their grandchildren?"

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, the smile on her face froze slightly, but she quickly concealed it, lowered her head and stroked her sleeves, her tone seemed a little understated: "I don't have such plans for the time being."

"How could you not have such a plan?" Lin Ruoxue was a little surprised. "Everyone in the Gu family is waiting, especially the prince. He loves you so much, he must also want to have a child, right?"

Lin Ruoxuan lowered her eyes, and after a moment she whispered, "It's not that I don't want to, it's... I'm really scared."

"Do you still remember my second sister Wang Yanqing? I witnessed her giving birth with my own eyes. At that moment, I felt that childbirth was a terrifying thing."

Lin Ruoxue picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a moment of hesitation, she asked tentatively, "Ruoxuan, are you still drinking contraceptive medicine every day?"

Lin Ruoxuan was slightly startled when she heard this, and the teacup in her hand almost fell over.

She paused for a moment and nodded frankly: "Yes, I'm still drinking."

Although his tone was calm, his eyes revealed helplessness.

Lin Ruoxue frowned, put down the teacup, and said bluntly: "Ruoxuan, long-term use of this kind of soup is extremely harmful to the body, don't you know? It may affect fertility in the future, or even... may cause lifelong infertility!"

"Yes," Lin Ruoqiao quickly took over the conversation, her tone full of worry, "I heard from the nanny beside my mother that although the contraceptive medicine is effective, it is still harmful to the body. Ruoxuan, you can't go on like this."

Lin Ruoxuan lowered her eyes, rubbed her fingertips on the edge of the teacup, and whispered: "I know all this, but there is no other way at the moment. I am really afraid..."

She paused, her voice choking, "My second sister's incident had a huge impact on me. When I thought of that scene, I couldn't sleep all night."
