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

"Madam, it has bitten the young master of the Lin family! The doctor is trying to save him!" a maid shouted anxiously.

After hearing what the servant and the maid said, Lin Ruoxuan frowned deeply.

She looked down at Rourou. The Tibetan Mastiff squatted obediently beside her, its body trembling slightly, and its low growl was filled with grievance and helplessness.

Its fur had been dyed red with blood, and its once majestic appearance now looked disheveled and fragile.

"Hongya, Luqiao." Lin Ruoxuan raised her head and said in a cold voice, "Take good care of Rourou. From now on, no one is allowed to get close to her. If anyone dares to harm Rourou again, don't blame me for being rude."

Hongya nodded in agreement, with worry in her eyes: "Don't worry, Madam, with Rourou in this state, others would be too scared to even dare to get close to her."

Seeing this, Lu Qiao also smiled in a soothing tone and said, "Yes, madam, such a 'ferocious beast' can only be kept quiet by you. The rest of us dare not get close to it."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't smile at all. She just glanced at them coldly and said, "Stop joking. Rourou didn't go crazy for no reason. She was forced to this point. Go check and see who is causing trouble in the yard."

Hongya and Luqiao looked at each other, not daring to say anything more, and quickly ordered the servants to strengthen the guard.

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes fell on the trembling servants and maids not far away, and her voice was cold and stern: "Tell me clearly, what is going on!"

A servant said tremblingly, "Madam, this is what happened... Young Master Lin came over this afternoon and said he wanted to see Rourou. We tried to stop him from getting close, and he got angry. Then, for some reason, he found a fork and poked at Rourou's cage, shouting something like 'If it dares to move, I'll kill it.'"

Another maid also nodded in agreement: "Yes, madam, Rourou didn't react at first, she just squatted in the cage. But Young Master Lin seemed unsatisfied, so he found a pair of large scissors and cut the lock of the cage open."

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxuan felt a surge of anger in her chest, and her voice became even colder: "What happened after the lock was cut open? How did Rourou start the attack?"

"As soon as it came out, it pounced on Young Master Lin. It might have been provoked." The servant lowered his head and answered in a low voice, "Then other people saw it and came forward to help. Rourou started biting like crazy."

Lin Ruoxuan took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

Rourou was trained by her since she was a child to be extremely obedient and would never attack anyone easily.

If he wasn't forced into a desperate situation, he would never react like this.

"Did you just watch him cut the lock and didn't stop him?" Her voice was as cold as ice and her eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look directly at her.

A group of people lowered their heads and dared not say a word, agreeing.

Just as Lin Ruoxuan understood what had happened, Lin Yuxi walked in aggressively, followed by a group of servants, each holding an arrow in their hands, ready to strike.

Lin Yuxi raised her chin high, with a cold look in her eyes, and started to question bluntly.

"Your Tibetan Mastiff bit my brother, shouldn't you pay the price? It must die today!" Her voice was sharp and her face was full of anger.

Lin Ruoxuan sneered and stood in front of Rourou, refusing to give in. "I already know everything about Young Master Lin's bite. He asked for it! Rourou was pushed to her limit, so she reacted like this. If you want to blame someone, blame your brother for making trouble first, instead of taking it out on him."

Lin Yuxi was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, and her voice was almost out of control: "Are you protecting a beast? It hurt people, even if there are a thousand reasons, it is unforgivable! Don't you care about the reputation of the Gu family? How will others see you!"

"Rou Rou is a beast, but she knows how to follow the rules and what patience is." Lin Ruoxuan responded coldly, "It's a pity that some people, born as human beings, never know how to take responsibility for their own actions. I will protect Rou Rou's life! Whoever wants to touch her, step over me first!"

Lin Yuxi gritted his teeth, stared at her fiercely, and angrily ordered the servant behind him: "What are you still standing there for? Shoot all the arrows!"

But the servants just froze where they were, not daring to take any action.

They exchanged glances with each other, and finally a bold one whispered, "Miss Lin, we are servants of the Gu family, so we must obey the orders of the mistress."

Lin Yuxi's face flushed instantly. She turned around abruptly and glared at the servants, her eyes full of anger: "She is just a daughter-in-law who married into the family. You don't even listen to me?!"

Lin Ruoxuan was not moved at all, and said coldly: "Miss Lin, don't forget, I am Gu Nanyuan's wife. Everything here is under my control. Your roar is meaningless."

Lin Yuxi was so angry that she clenched her fists, turned around and stomped her feet hard: "Okay, very good! You wait!"

She left the yard angrily and went straight to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo had just had a cup of hot tea brought to her, and before she could take a sip, she saw Lin Yuxi push the door open aggressively.

His face was full of resentment and anger, as if he was going to eat the person alive in the next moment.

She frowned slightly, put down the teacup, and said with a little more displeasure: "Yuxi, why are you so impatient? What happened?"

Lin Yuxi walked quickly to the center of the hall, speaking sharply, "Aunt, I must seek justice today! The Madam's Tibetan mastiff injured my brother, and she even protected it from being dealt with. That Tibetan mastiff is so ferocious, if it stays in the mansion, I don't know how many more people will be injured!"

Madam Zhenguo pondered for a moment, looking at her furious appearance, she remained calm and said slowly: "It was Lin Zi who provoked Rourou first, right?"

"Aunt!" Lin Yuxi's face flushed with anger, "How can you say that? Even if Lin Zi did something wrong, the Tibetan mastiff hurt someone, and you still dare to protect it from punishment? Aren't you afraid that outsiders will know and think that the Gu family has no discipline?"

"I don't care what others say, but I know that Lin Zi was wrong in this matter." Lady Zhenguo said calmly, her eyes sharp, "Rou Rou is a Tibetan mastiff trained by Ruo Xuan herself, and she has always been obedient. Lin Zi poked it with a fork and even cut open the cage. Isn't this asking for trouble? Am I going to kill an innocent life because of his nonsense?"

Lin Yuxi was dumbfounded. She had never expected that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo would have such an attitude. She paused and tried to find her voice again: "But...but Rourou has already bitten someone! Aunt, don't you really think that if this matter gets out, it will damage the reputation of the Gu family?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo raised her eyebrows and said, "Yuxi, reputation is built by character and family tradition, not by killing a dog. Lin Zi is my nephew, and Rourou is the Tibetan mastiff of the Gu family. Wrong is wrong, and right is right. Don't mention this matter again, and don't make a fuss anymore."
