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

As a human being, you should always be content.

Seeing that Qi Zeshen didn't want the dagger, Gu Nanyuan directly handed the dagger on the table to Lin Ruoxuan: "You keep it for self-defense. This dagger is very sharp, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Lin Ruoxuan took it, shook it in the palm of her hand, and it was unexpectedly heavy, but very comfortable to hold.

"Well, since you gave it to me, I'll make good use of it."

Seeing that Lin Ruoxue had no gifts to accept, Qi Zeshen handed the jade pendant to her without hesitation: "This is for you, as a reward for participating in the pot-tossing game."

Lin Ruoxue was flattered, but felt it was too expensive, so she shook her head and refused: "This is too expensive, it's hard for me to accept it. I participated in the game of pitching pots just for fun, and I didn't throw it in, so you don't have to give it to me."

She doesn't want it, or to be more precise, she can't have it.

Qi Zeshen stuffed it directly into her hands and said, "It is not reasonable for me to take back what I have given away. Since you are unwilling to accept it, I can only give you the child in your belly as a gift. Please do not refuse it."

Lin Ruoxue looked at the expensive jade pendant in her hand and felt that it was a little hot.

"This……"

Qi Zeshen smiled indifferently: "Just accept it. It's mainly a token of my love."

In the end, Lin Ruoxue had no choice but to accept it.

"Well, thank you for your kindness, Master Qi. When the baby is born, I will let him thank you."

"Easy to say."

Lin Ruoxuan, who was standing aside, looked at Qi Ze with admiration. Although he was the legitimate son of the Yongliang Marquisate, he was humble and thoughtful. She couldn't help but like him even more.

The next morning.

On the table.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lin Ruoxue and said solemnly, "Big sister, a servant just came to report that there was a thief in Yuying Lane. It's not safe to go back. You and mother should stay in Qiming Villa temporarily. Staying here for a month will allow you to cultivate your character. When you go back later, I will have dealt with the thief."

Lin Ruoxue frowned: "So long? Where did the thief come from?"

She nodded, "Yes, I heard that he was a notorious bandit, and he hasn't been caught yet. I'm just worried that it would be unsafe for you to go back, big sister, and I don't want to cause any more trouble. Since you've come to Qiming Villa, you should stay here. Don't worry, I've already talked to the young master, and he's willing too."

Sun Rong also started to assist.

"Yes, Sister Xue, just stay here with peace of mind. Your mother is here with you, so you won't feel lonely. You can see so many beautiful views every day when you wake up. Your child will definitely be smart and good-looking in the future."

In the end, Lin Ruoxue agreed without thinking too much.

"Okay, then I'll stay here for the time being."

Lin Ruoxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she agreed.

at the same time.

Gu Nanyuan ordered solemnly: "From today on, the villa will no longer be open to the public. No one can be allowed in unless I give the order, not even people from my grandfather's family. Do you understand?"

The servants nodded respectfully, saying in no uncertain terms, "Yes, young master."

After giving the order, Gu Nanyuan set his sights on Mother Cao and Lotus Flower Diao: "In addition to taking good care of them, you must also keep your mouth shut and not let them know anything from the outside world. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

The three of them agreed together.

"Yes, young master, we will naturally do our best."

in the afternoon.

Qingji and Qingxiang brought their maids and servants who knew martial arts to Qiming Villa, and placed people to protect them everywhere, guarding the place strictly to make sure that no one would have any chance to take advantage of them.

In just two days, Gu Nanyuan had arranged everything. He knocked on Lin Ruoxuan's door and asked her to inspect the results.

"Come out and take a look. Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled: "There is nothing that needs to be changed, young master. After your arrangement, not only can no one enter Qiming Villa, even a fly may not be able to fly in."

"Be careful so that no accidents happen."

Lin Ruoxuan was so touched: "Thank you, young master, you are so thoughtful."

If she were asked to do these things, she would definitely not be able to arrange them as neatly as others and in such a short time.

She was really grateful.

Gu Nanyuan snorted and laughed: "Why are you being polite to me? Didn't you say you would be polite to me a few days ago?"

Lin Ruoxuan blinked slightly. These two are different, okay?

"I'm used to saying thank you so easily. Young Master, you've helped me a lot. Don't worry, I'll always remember it."

I will also turn this gratitude into kindness and love, protect and cherish you.

The man waved his hand casually: "It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."

After the two of them had arranged everything at Qiming Villa, they set off back to the capital. As the journey was long, they prepared some picked fruits and vegetables in the car, as well as those she brought for the old lady.

After all, I had made a promise before coming here. It would not look good if I go back empty-handed.

On the carriage.

Lin Ruoxuan kept her gaze on Gu Nanyuan for a long time, seeming a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should take out the things. Even after taking a deep breath, she was still very hesitant.

Gu Nanyuan noticed that something was wrong with her, and he kept his eyes on Lin Ruoxuan, asking her with concern.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you are, you must tell me. The journey is so long, don't hide it from me."

She shook her head, a blush tinging her cheeks.

"No, it's just..."

The woman began to hesitate to speak.

Gu Nanyuan sat closer to Lin Ruoxuan and placed his large palm on her forehead. When he noticed that her body temperature was no different from that of an ordinary person, he became even more curious.

"Whatever you want to say, just say it."

Finally, under the man's gaze, Lin Ruoxuan took out the embroidered purse with great effort and placed it in front of him. In fact, when she was at the farm, she wanted to take it out, but compared with the one embroidered by her elder sister, she felt it was not presentable enough.

So, it has been delayed until now.

She felt that she should give it away, but she was embarrassed.

"This is the purse I embroidered for you last time when we had an argument. It's ugly, though. I'm not very skilled at it and it took me a very long time to embroider it. If you don't like it, I'll embroider another one for you when I've mastered needlework."

Gu Nanyuan took the purse embroidered by Lin Ruoxuan in his hand, as if he were treating some precious treasure.

"It's not ugly at all. I like it very much. Only your embroidery is unique."

As he spoke, he hung it around his waist with care.
