Seeing Liu Xiaoniang like this, Lin Ruoxi became even angrier. However, before she could say anything, she saw Lin Shiyuan had already left the study with a lot on his mind.

Lin Shiyuan, who had already left the study, was groping for the box in his hand. He looked at the white jade hairpin in his hand and felt complicated: "Zhiqiu, take my badge to the storeroom and pick out two pieces of jewelry. Remember, be quick."

"Yes."

Zhiqiu naturally knew what his master meant. He nodded repeatedly, ran straight to the storeroom, and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find suitable jewelry.

Lin Shiyuan didn't wait for Zhiqiu blatantly, but the group was moving a little slowly at the moment.

Just when Lin Shiyuan was about to reach Qingxue Cottage at a snail's pace, Zhiqiu finally arrived holding a black box with some dark patterns engraved on it.

Lin Shiyuan did not blame Zhiqiu for coming so slowly, but directly placed the white jade hairpin in the black box. Then he straightened his clothes and walked into Qingxue Cottage with his head held high.

When Lin Shiyuan entered Qingxue Cottage, Lin Ruoxue was crying silently in the room. She had been married for many years and had been the mistress of the Ou family. How could she not know what her actions would bring to her family?

It is precisely because I understand it in my heart that I feel even more guilty and have the determination to die.

It was for this reason that Lin Shiyuan's arrival was just right. When Chunlan and Qiuju came over with joy to tell Lin Ruoxue that Lin Shiyuan was coming, Lin Ruoxue's grievances and fears that had accumulated for a long time finally poured out at this moment.

She knelt in front of Lin Shiyuan and cried loudly, which made Lin Shiyuan feel more distressed for her and regretful that he paid less attention to his eldest daughter.

Before Lin Shiyuan could finish regretting, Lin Ruoxue started to cry again, "Father, father, please allow your daughter to stay at home for a while. After I give birth, I will immediately find a temple and cut my hair to become a nun! I will definitely not affect the reputation of my sisters at home!"

"Nonsense!"

Lin Shiyuan felt his heart ache when he saw Lin Ruoxue's pleading eyes. This was his daughter whom he had held in the palm of his hand since she was young, the eldest daughter whom he had carefully nurtured, and who was graceful and elegant before her marriage. But now she was so cautious, just asking him to give her a place to stay.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiyuan burst into tears. He covered his eyes and wiped away the tears with his palms, pretending to be angry: "You girl, you are the daughter of the Lin family, why are you leaving after giving birth to a child? Even if you live at home for the rest of your life, no one will say a word!"

"father……"

Seeing Lin Shiyuan being so serious, Lin Ruoxue felt that all the burdens in her heart had disappeared. She couldn't help crying anymore and began to sob.

Lin Shiyuan looked at Lin Ruoxue crying sadly and sighed again: "Silly girl, your last name is Lin, Qingxue Cottage is your yard, no one can drive you out without your father's permission. Your sisters are young, if they say something they shouldn't, don't take it to heart, they can't make the decision."

"Thank you, Daddy. As an older sister, I certainly won't argue with my younger sisters."

"Take good care of the baby, and the child will also have the Lin family name!"

Seeing that Lin Ruoxue's mood had improved a lot, Lin Shiyuan was very relieved, and said: "The things in here are all old items, and they have good meanings. Even if you don't like them, you can put them in the bottom of the box, so keep them."

……

After Lin Ruoxuan reminded Lin Shiyuan not to forget Lin Ruoxue, she went straight back to her Qingmuxuan.

It's not that she doesn't care about Lin Ruoxue, but this incident was meant to arouse Lin Shiyuan's sympathy for Lin Ruoxue, as well as the father-daughter relationship. It would be useless for her to go, so she might as well go back to her own yard.

But Lin Ruoxuan had just returned to Qingmuxuan for a short while, and the chair was not even warm yet, when Wei Ma, the person Liu Xiaoniang relied on the most, had already caught up with her.

"Girl, what should we do now? That old man is standing outside, making a fuss about wanting to come in."

Luqiao frowned, her face full of disgust and indignation. She wished she could get Lin Ruoxuan's consent immediately so that she could chase the man away with a broom.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ruoxuan shook her head and smiled, flipped through the travel notes in her hand, and said, "Okay, don't be angry. You are more angry than your daughter. Go and bring her in."

"girl!"

"Go quickly."

Seeing that Lin Ruoxuan insisted on doing so, Luqiao had no choice but to bring Mother Wei in obediently.

When Madam Wei saw Lin Ruoxuan, she immediately smiled and showed her thick-skinned appearance: "Eighth Miss, the five hundred taels per month you mentioned in the master's study room before, is it still counted?"

"You old bastard! My girl has already given me five hundred taels today!"

"Miss Luqiao, please don't be angry. The five hundred taels are for the master, not for my little girl. Besides, my little girl is the housekeeper now. You can't ask my little girl to ask the master for the five hundred taels, right?"

At this point, Mother Wei laughed again and said, "My dear girl, you are usually so generous, you can't be unable to take out even 500 taels now, right?"

"What did you say!"

Lu Qiao's face flushed red, and she was so angry that she couldn't even speak: "Our girl has clearly given it! You, how can you be so shameless!"

Luqiao only had time to say this before Lin Ruoxuan scolded her: "Luqiao, the master hasn't spoken yet, but you're already excited."

Lin Ruoxuan said, and looked at Mother Wei with a half-smile: "Since my lady said that the banknote has not been delivered yet, then I will deliver it again."

"The Eighth Miss is indeed very righteous. Then this banknote..."

"Look, I don't have much money in my hand right now. Why don't you wait a little while, Miss Liu and Madam Wei? When I have collected the five hundred taels, I will personally deliver the money to you two. What do you think?"

Seeing Lin Ruoxuan being so humble, Mother Wei's heart began to float. She was about to take action, but she suddenly met Lin Ruoxuan's eyes. She was immediately frightened and said repeatedly:

"In that case, then the Eighth Miss must not forget that this is related to the life of the eldest lady in the mansion, right?"

"Mother Wei is right."

Lin Ruoxuan was not angry. She just nodded seriously and said to Lu Qiao who was feeling indignant at the side, "Lu Qiao, go and see Mother Wei off."

After Luqiao left the room with Mother Wei with a look of reluctance on her face, Lin Ruoxuan finally had the mood to sip her tea carefully.

Sniffing the fragrance of tea, Lin Ruoxuan's thoughts drifted further and further away. She vaguely remembered that her grandfather now had a Ferghana horse, which made her and her mother miss it very much. Why not...
