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

funny.

This is impossible.

Mother Qiu was left speechless by Lin Ruoxuan's words. She didn't dare to confront Lin Ruoxuan head-on. At present, no one in the mansion dared to offend her.

In the end, Mother Qiu turned around and left, maintaining her outward politeness.

"Then I will go down first. Eighth Miss, go to bed early."

at the same time.

Lin Shiyuan had just finished his morning court session when he was dragged by several of his colleagues to have a drink and have fun. He was in a good mood and didn't think much about it, so he just went over.

During the conversation, for some reason several of his colleagues kept wanting to know about his inner affairs. He did not think much about it at first, thinking it was just a normal inquiry, so he answered vaguely.

"That's it, no different from usual."

He tried to get around it, but before he could change the subject, his colleague's voice continued to ring in his ears.

"Didn't my brother come back a while ago? Why can't I see him? I remember that he came out to talk about poetry and songs when he came back. Could it be that..."

The words that were not finished were left unsaid.

Lin Shiyuan frowned deeply, said nothing, and drank in silence.

Colleagues continued to chatter, "Where is your concubine who you always think about? Is she still in your house now?"

He really couldn't listen any longer, because the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. The man clenched the wine glass in his hand tightly. At this time, the sound of laughter came from the next room.

The soundproofing in the room was good, but they spoke too loudly.

It mainly discusses how the concubine of the Lin family cheated on a man outside the family, and how the master of the Lin family was cuckolded for more than 20 years and had to raise other people's children.

"Lin Shiyuan is such a complete sucker. My god, he is so stupid that he didn't notice anything at all in all these years."

"I saw that he also had a lot of fun with women that other people had played with before, hahaha. I don't know what it's like to have a second-hand woman."

"I heard that our Lord Lin favors this concubine, and all the household expenses in the mansion are in the hands of this concubine."

When Lin Shiyuan heard these words, he suddenly realized what was going on, but he was still more angry. He clenched his fingers into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

He also disregarded his dignity and rebuked several colleagues: "You are so heartless. I am sorry that I am helping you deal with things."

After saying that, Lin Shiyuan went home angrily.

Lin.

As soon as Lin Shiyuan returned, he learned from the servant that his mother was ill. He did not dare to hesitate and immediately rushed to the old lady's yard.

"Mom, are you okay?"

The old lady sighed and said nothing.

Mrs. Qiu at the side spoke first: "How could the old lady be fine? So many things have happened in the mansion recently, which has exhausted the old lady's mind. In addition, there are rumors outside now. I think you have heard about it, my master."

After hearing this, Lin Shiyuan's outstretched palms tightened again.

"Mother, I heard about it. You should have a good rest during this period. I will instruct no one to disturb you."

The old lady did not follow the man's words and went downstairs to the club. Instead, she began to talk about her own difficulties.

"Shi Yuan, your father passed away when I was very young. I raised you by myself with great difficulty. It was not easy. Now I am a little better, but I didn't expect something like this to happen again. Why is my life so miserable?"

She sighed as she spoke, feeling extremely upset.

When Lin Shiyuan heard his mother say this, he felt very sad.

"Mother, it is because of my unfilial son that you have not had a good life. I will deal with the rumors outside when I have time, so don't worry."

The old lady continued, "Also, I'm not feeling well, and I wanted Sister Xuan to come and take care of me for two days, but she was very disobedient and directly rejected Mother Qiu and refused to come. Moreover, Sun Rong has disappeared and is not here to take care of me."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Mother Qiu exaggerated and told Lin Shiyuan what Lin Ruoxuan had said.

"Master, I personally went to ask the Eighth Miss to take care of the old lady, but the Eighth Miss said that this was not her child. I had to settle for the second best and asked the mistress to come back, but she actually said that the master was taking care of the eldest girl and had no time to take care of the old lady. Look, what kind of words are these?"

Lin Shiyuan, who was already in a bad mood, became even angrier after hearing this. Lin Ruoxuan didn't respect the old lady, which meant she didn't respect him.

Naturally, he wanted to be on the same front with the old lady.

"Don't worry, mother. I will go and tell her to come and serve you."

The old lady nodded slowly.

"Okay, then go ahead. I can't do without someone to serve me right now. Let Sister Xuan come."

As soon as she came, she would have a good talk and let Lin Ruoxuan know who is the boss of this family.

Lin Shiyuan nodded, and after he comforted the old lady, he went to Lin Ruoxuan's yard.

Lin Ruoxuan seemed to have expected it. She was eating melon seeds leisurely. When she saw him coming, she put down the melon seeds in her hand, picked up the pastries on the table and tasted them from time to time.

After Lin Shiyuan walked up to her, he started scolding her without saying anything.

"Xuan Jie'er, your grandmother asked you to serve, why don't you go?"

Lin Ruoxuan was extremely confused, as if she had heard something horrifying.

"Father, I don't understand. Why should I go? It's not my fault that grandma is like this."

Lin Shiyuan was furious: "What do you mean? She is your grandmother, you should take care of her. Your mother is not at home, so you should go and take care of her."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't care about his order at all and directly retorted: "I won't go, you let my third sister go. After all, grandma's illness is due to Liu Xiaoniang's dirty deeds. My third sister going to take care of her can be regarded as atonement for her mother's sin."

Lin Shiyuan was speechless for a moment.

Lin Ruoxuan spoke again: "Father, when my grandmother was poisoned before, there was no evidence, but Liu Xiaoniang teamed up with others to frame my mother. If she comes back this time, it is inevitable that someone will continue to frame her, so it is best for my mother not to take care of the sick, so as to avoid being involved in the mess."

Lin Ruoxuan was very eloquent and Lin Shiyuan had no way of winning over her, but he would not let her succeed, so he tried to use his father's identity to put pressure on her.

"How do you talk to me? Have you forgotten that I'm your elder?"

elder?

Oh, why didn't you mention this matter when you were fulfilling your responsibilities? Why didn't you mention it when you were biased? Why did you mention it now? It's too late!

Lin Ruoxuan didn't care at all and was at ease.

"I'm saying this in a nice way. It's also your father's fault that my grandmother became like this. If it weren't for my father favoring his concubine over his wife, there wouldn't be this tragedy. You have brought this upon yourself."

Lin Shiyuan's pupils shrank sharply. He could tell from her words that Lin Ruoxuan was taking him less and less seriously.

"you!"
