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

Lin Ruoxue looked at Sun Rong and found that she could not get any valuable information from her. However, she could not ignore the fact in front of her - her two maids were missing. Lin Ruoxue's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. She began to think carefully about the previous situation, trying to find some clues.

Lin Ruoxue returned to her room alone, feeling heavy-hearted and confused. She sat on the edge of the bed, clasping her hands, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

In her mind, the disappearance of He Hua and Hua Diao was no accident. She believed that He Hua and Hua Diao must have met with misfortune and were no longer alive.

However, what she didn't know was that the two maids were not actually dead, but were imprisoned by Lin Ruoxuan's order.

At that time, Lin Ruoxuan was indeed extremely angry, and she had an urge to kill these two unfaithful maids.

But after calming down, she recalled the years of affection they had for following her elder sister and the important position they held in her heart, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

Furthermore, the eldest sister has just lost her child and certainly cannot bear any more stimulation.

Therefore, Lin Ruoxuan decided to let them go for the time being and just locked them up in a remote courtyard to let them reflect on their behavior.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxuan got off the Gu family's carriage with cakes, greeted Gu Nanyuan, and went straight to Lin Ruoxue's room.

"Big sister, I bought some cakes from Juzhenzhai."

Lin Ruoxuan opened the pastries, placed them one by one on a plate, and brought them to Lin Ruoxue.

"Try it, this is your favorite orange cake."

"There's something wrong with your orange cake. Why is it so small?"

Lin Ruoxue glanced at Lin Ruoxuan and became even more dissatisfied and started to find fault.

"Look at the mung bean cake you picked. It's definitely not the freshest. You should take the one at the innermost layer."

"Look at this shortbread again, did you take one that was left overnight?"

In short, every word Lin Ruoxue said revealed her dissatisfaction with the pastries.

"Well, big sister, since you don't like these, I'll buy you new ones later."

Lin Ruoxuan knew that Lin Ruoxue had suffered a blow, so she was in a bad mood.

She did not argue with Lin Ruoxue about her nitpicking, but comforted her: "Big sister, you have been busy lately. You must be tired, take a break first! I will fan you."

"I dare not trouble Eighth Miss."

Lin Ruoxue turned around, obviously ordering them to leave.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ruoxuan had no choice but to put down the cake and said, "Big sister, take a rest first. I'll come back later."

Lin Ruoxuan closed the door gently and sighed as she stood at the door.

Lu Qiao, who was waiting at the door, was about to say something when she was stopped by Lin Ruoxuan's eyes. Only after they walked out of the yard did Lin Ruoxuan say, "I know what you want to say."

Lu Qiao expressed her dissatisfaction indignantly: "The eldest lady is too much. Even though she is pregnant, she can't order you around like this and lose her temper with you."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled helplessly: "It's okay, go back to your room and pack up. I'll go to my mother's place and be back soon."

As soon as I arrived at Sun Rong's yard, I saw Mother Chen sorting out the clothes that had just been hung out to dry.

"Mother Chen, let me do it."

Seeing that she couldn't carry so many clothes, Lin Ruoxuan took the initiative to step forward to share some of the burden before walking into Sun Rong's room.

"Mother."

When Lotus Sun saw that she was holding so many clothes, she gestured for her to put them in the side room and Mother Chen would pack them up.

"Mother, I have something to ask you."

Lin Ruoxuan took Sun Rong's hand and went into the inner room, saying, "Did Big Sister come to see Mother?"

Lotus Sun knew that her daughter was extremely intelligent, so she didn't hide it and said, "Yes, Sister Xue just came to ask me about the lotus and Huadiao. I didn't tell her, I just said that you were kind-hearted."

"Yes. Thank you, mother."

Lin Ruoxuan knew the truth of the matter. There must be a reason why Lin Ruoxue's temperament suddenly changed.

Although Sun Rong just said that her elder sister was dissatisfied with her handling of her maid's affairs privately, Lin Ruoxuan knew that this was probably not just about the two maids, but also about Ou He and the lost child.

Lin Ruoxuan came out of Sun Rong's yard and went straight back to her room.

Hongya was sewing a purse at the door. When she saw her come back, she immediately stood up and saluted.

"Miss."

"Hongya, go to Miss Seven's yard and tell her that we will go to the Ou family together tomorrow."

After hearing the order, Hong Ya immediately went to do it, and soon informed Lin Ruoqiao, and came back and said, "Miss, Miss Seven already knows."

"it is good."

Lin Ruoxuan sat down and motioned Hongya to help her comb her hair and remove her hair accessories.

While looking in the mirror, she said to Luqiao who had just put down the basin, "Luqiao, go to the Duke's Mansion and find the young master, and ask him to bring the person over."

Lu Qiao nodded and hurried to the Duke's Mansion to tell Gu Nanyuan about Lin Ruoxuan's arrangement. Gu Nanyuan had to go out for something, so he arranged for someone to deliver the lotus and flower carvings to Lin Ruoxuan's yard.

Luqiao came back and locked the two of them in a side room in the backyard. She ordered people to keep a close eye on them before returning to her room.

As soon as Luqiao entered the room, she closed the door, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, you don't know! The young master has something for me to bring back..."

"what's up?"

Lin Ruoxuan sat quietly in the bathtub, her eyes slightly closed as the water rippled, and she was resting.

"The young master said that the young Marquis Qi lied to others that he liked homosexuality and used this as an excuse to ask to marry our eldest daughter."

Hongya was wiping Lin Ruoxuan's back, but her hand suddenly stopped, obviously shocked by the news.

Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly when she heard this, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

"The young master also said that he hopes you can talk to the eldest lady and make preparations in advance." Lu Qiao continued, "As long as the Qi family asks for it, our master will definitely not refuse. It's just..."

"Just what?" Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Qiao said, "What the young master is worried about is that the eldest girl has just lost her child and must be in a very bad mood. If the Qi family comes to ask for marriage at this time, it would be tantamount to forcing a marriage. In this way, the eldest girl might hate the young Marquis Qi from now on."

Lin Ruoxuan was also shocked. She didn't expect Qi Zeshen to react so quickly and use such a dirty trick.

Moreover, now she knew that Lin Ruoxue actually wanted to get rid of the Lin family in her heart. Moreover, after what happened to her maid just now, Lin Ruoxue must want to get rid of her even more.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but sneer. Perhaps, what Qi Zeshen was doing now was really a good thing!
