She got along well with Zhao Xi, and because Zhao Xi liked her cousin, she disliked Lin Ruoxuan even more. Lin Ruoxuan's beauty and talent made Zeng Qian feel aggressive.

Zeng Qian said coldly: "It's really unlucky. If I had known this would happen, I would have calculated the almanac before going out. This way, maybe I could avoid seeing people I don't want to see."

Zhao Xi followed suit, with his sarcasm clearly in his tone.

"Who made her haunt the young master? I don't know what he likes about her. Her family background and character are obviously not good enough. I heard that Lin Ruoxuan's family is now managed by the concubine. It's really funny. I don't know what her mother cooks."

Every word she said was a ruthless attempt to belittle Lin Ruoxuan.

Zeng Qian was indignant: "Yes, her mother is useless and allowed the concubine to step on her head. She should have stayed at home and licked the concubine. What's wrong with her coming out to seduce my cousin?"

I really don’t know what Gu Nanyuan sees in her.

Humph, Lin Ruoxuan is just a person who is not presentable.

Zhao Xi chimed in: "Perhaps the young master is just temporarily bewildered, and it won't last forever."

"I hope so. Lin Ruoxuan looks so charming. I'm afraid she won't be content with my cousin. Xi'er, I want you to be my cousin's wife."

Zhao Xi held Zeng Qian's hand and smiled from ear to ear: "Qian Qian, I will work hard, and you have to help me too."

Zeng Qian patted her wrist to reassure her: "I will help you, just go for it. We grew up with our cousin, how can our affection not compare to that of the daughter of a fifth-rank official?"

For a lot of time afterwards, the two of them talked about Lin Ruoxuan, and their words were full of contempt and disdain. They both hoped that Gu Nanyuan would abandon Lin Ruoxuan, or even trample on her harshly.

The person being discussed had no idea of ​​all this. Seeing that she had finished giving instructions, Lin Ruoxuan stood up from her chair and said, "Seventh Sister, it's getting late now, shall we go back?"

Lin Ruoqiao met Lin Ruoxuan's eyes, and it was obvious that she didn't want to leave.

"Eighth sister, it's still early. Let's stay a little longer. We have to arrange for someone to go back and tell father so that he can be mentally prepared. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be angry."

Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but laugh: "You are really thoughtful."

After she finished speaking, she told Hongya, "Hongya, go back first and quickly tell father that the seventh sister has returned. We will be back soon."

Hongya nodded respectfully: "Yes, young lady."

Soon, she left.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao stayed here for a while before leaving.

Lin House.

As soon as the two came back, Lin Shiyuan came to the door with a very bad face, as if someone owed him a lot of money. He asked in a stiff tone, "Why did you come back? Why didn't you tell me before? Lin Ruoqiao, do you really take me, your father, seriously?"

Every word is an accusation. If it were anyone else, they would have felt uncomfortable.

But the carefree Lin Ruoqiao was not frightened by this embarrassment. She met Lin Shiyuan's eyes and said politely, "Father, the Lin Mansion is also my home. Why can't I come back? Or do you want to kick me out of the house now?"

Lin Shiyuan was almost furious at her words. The man said coldly, "That's not what your father meant. I just think you should have told me when you came back. It's not appropriate for you to stay in the mansion right now. I'll have someone send you back."

Lin Ruoqiao was firm: "I won't go back!"

Lin Shiyuan was so disobeyed that his temper flared up immediately. He began to be aggressive: "How dare you disobey me? If you were not such a jerk, why would I send you to the farm when you were a child? Come on, send Miss Seven away for me."

The servant immediately stepped forward.

Lin Ruoqiao rolled up her sleeves and screamed, "Let's see who dares to touch me!"

The sleeves were rolled up, revealing her delicate arms covered with all kinds of scars, shockingly severe, including beatings, burns, and knife wounds, which were terrifying to look at.

Lin Ruoxuan's pupils shrank sharply, and she felt so distressed: "Seventh sister, you..."

Without waiting for her to say anything more, Lin Ruoqiao walked up to Lin Shiyuan and moved the scar on her arm a little closer to his eyes.

"Father, if you dare to send me away, I will go to Jingzhao Yin to sue you for abandonment. These are the people you selected who beat me. Not only will I sue you for abandoning me, but I will also tell you all the disgusting things you have done."

Threat, naked threat.

There was a flash of anger in Lin Shiyuan's eyes, but more of it was fear.

"you dare!"

Lin Ruoqiao said coldly: "Just see if I dare. You favor your concubine and kill your wife, and you are against Tiangang. If this matter gets out of hand, father, I don't think you can even be an official."

Lin Shiyuan clenched his fingers into fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands burst.

Lin Ruoqiao! As expected, the house was in chaos when she came back, but she had to admit that her threats were still useful. Lin Shiyuan became disgusted.

"You are really getting more and more successful as you grow older. You even dare to threaten your father. If you want to stay, you can stay. I can't control you. But I warn you, if you don't behave yourself at home, I will not let you go."

Lin Ruoqiao rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Lin Shiyuan only felt that his fist had hit the cotton hard, and he looked at Lin Ruoxuan's face. At this moment, she looked worried.

"You should take good care of your seventh sister and don't let her get into trouble. Everyone in the capital is a noble. If you offend anyone, it will be a big deal. If it affects the family, you will also be a sinner."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't want to get into an argument with him, so she just responded with a perfunctory "hmm".

"Father, I know."

Lin Shiyuan waved his hand impatiently: "Go quickly."

He really didn't want to see Lin Ruoqiao for a moment. He didn't know who she inherited this personality from. It seemed like she was not afraid of anyone and didn't care about anyone.

Lin Ruoxuan anxiously pulled Lin Ruoqiao back to her yard. At this moment, tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she looked so pitiful.

"Seventh sister, who made those things on your arms? Mrs. Lin has been saying that you are doing well for so many years. Could it be that she was lying to me and only told me good news and not bad news?"

Judging from the scars, she seemed to have had a hard time over the years.

However, something is not quite right. With Seventh Sister's temper, who would dare to bully her? It's good enough that she doesn't bully others.

Seeing Lin Ruoxuan crying and a little flustered, Lin Ruoqiao quickly explained: "No one bullied me, Eighth Sister, please stop crying."
