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

The news that Lin Ruoxue agreed to the Qi family's marriage quickly spread throughout the Lin family.

With the help of Mother Chen, Sun Rong went back to her room to rest. Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lin Ruoxue's back as she returned to her room, deep in thought.

When Lin Ruoxi heard that Lin Ruoxue had agreed to the Qi family's marriage and would marry into the Qi family in the future, she almost fainted from anger.

Lin Ruoxi has always felt that she was just unlucky and was born in Liu Xiaoniang's belly. But why can Lin Ruoxue and Lin Ruoxuan marry into higher-class families just because they are both daughters of the Lin family?

Back in her own yard, Lin Ruoxi paced back and forth anxiously, unable to sit still.

One of Sun Rong's two daughters is going to marry the young Marquis Qi, and the other is going to marry the young Master Gu. From now on, he's probably going to have a harder and harder time in the Lin family. If things continue like this, he might even have a hard time making a living.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death."

Lin Ruoxi took a sip of water, put down the teacup, and thought of someone.

She put on a veil, sneaked out of the yard, and hurried to a side courtyard in the backyard of the Lin family.

"Eighth sister, do you think that if my elder sister does this, will it make our father angry?"

"Father will definitely be angry. But the Qi family wants to propose marriage, and father can't stop it even if he wants to."

Lin Ruoxi walked to the rockery, heard the voices of two people, and hurriedly hid beside the cave.

Looking at Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao, Lin Ruoxi became even more anxious. What if Sun Rong wanted to settle old scores with her in the future?

So she quickened her pace and walked towards the side yard.

Arriving at the gate of the side courtyard, Lin Ruoxi looked around carefully before entering.

I saw a gentle-looking woman sitting in the room embroidering. She was Lin Shiyuan’s new aunt, Chen Wan, also known as Chen Xiaoniang.

Lin Ruoxi took off her veil, closed the door, and took Chen Wan's hand, saying earnestly, "Mrs. Chen, why are you still thinking about embroidery? This matter is urgent!"

"What's wrong? Third Miss. What's the hurry?"

Chen Wan gently pushed her hand away and sat aside.

Lin Ruoxi said, "Mrs. Chen, you know this too. My eighth sister ruined my mother's reputation and drove her out of the Lin family. Now, my eldest sister is going to discuss marriage with the young Marquis Qi. The position of the mistress will become more and more stable in the future, and she will definitely tidy up the backyard."

As she spoke, she looked at the embroidered shoes in Chen Wan's hand and said, "Mrs. Chen, you'd better be careful. Otherwise, not only will the baby in your belly be in danger, but your life may also be ..."

After Chen Wan heard what Lin Ruoxi said, she thought for a moment, and then said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Third Miss. But I have always been a plain person, just wanting to make a living in the backyard. Alas, if the day that Third Miss said really comes, then I will have to accept my fate."

Lin Ruoxi wanted to persuade her a few more times, but when she saw Chen Wan lowering her head and concentrating on embroidering, and not wanting to talk to her any more, she felt unhappy.

Lin Ruoxi put on a veil hat, left a word "take care of yourself" and went back.

But what she never expected was that as soon as she returned to the yard, took off her veil and put it at the bottom of the cabinet, she heard a voice.

"Third Miss, the old lady asked you to take care of the patient."

Lin Ruoxi really didn't like this voice, and when she turned around and saw the face of the person who came, she couldn't help but feel scared.

The person who came was none other than Aunt Zhao who was beside the old lady. Her respectful tone carried an attitude that left no room for doubt.

Lin Ruoxi has been really tortured by the old lady these days. The person she least wants to see right now is the old lady, let alone go and take care of her.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and Nanny Zhao urged her, saying, "Third Miss, hurry up! The old lady is still waiting!"

Lin Ruoxi nodded and walked out of the room slowly. Her steps seemed to be filled with lead and she took each step unsteadily.

Finally she arrived at the gate of the old lady's yard, and she couldn't help but shiver.

But things went against her will. Madam Zhao shouted, "Madam, the third young lady is here to take care of the patient."

Lin Ruoxi walked into the room and bowed to the old lady: "Hello, Grandmother."

"Cough cough."

The old lady leaned on the bed, coughed softly twice, and pointed to the tea on the table.

Aunt Zhao gently nudged Lin Ruoxi and said, "The old lady wants to drink some water."

Lin Ruoxi was about to say "Don't you have a maid?", but she swallowed the first two words and hurriedly poured tea for the old lady.

The old lady took the tea and threw the cup down after taking a sip. She said, "It's so cold. Do you want me to die soon?"

When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she was so scared that she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Grandma, please calm down. I'll bring you a hot cup right away."

"No need."

The old lady suddenly showed some favor and said, "Please bring lunch over! I have a little appetite now and want to try some food."

Lin Ruoxi nodded quickly, went to the small kitchen to bring today's dishes, and placed them on the table one by one. She walked carefully to the old lady's bed and said, "Grandma, let me help you over."

"Ah."

With Lin Ruoxi's help, the old lady walked to the table, glanced at the dishes on the table, and sat down.

The old lady ordered Lin Ruoxi to pick up the dishes, sometimes removing fish bones, sometimes peeling shrimps, but as soon as they were done, they waved their hands to indicate that they didn't want to eat.

After being troubled by the old lady again and again, Lin Ruoxi became a little impatient, but she only dared to say it in her heart, and she remained respectful on the surface.

After a while, the old lady drank half a bowl of porridge, indicating that she didn't want to eat anymore, and then she removed the dishes.

While the old lady was taking a short rest, Lin Ruoxi hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of food and returned to her room.

"Well, Third Sister, Aunt Zhao wants to give me a massage, so go and empty the chamber pot."

While the old lady was enjoying the comfortable massage from Nanny Zhao, she ordered Lin Ruoxi to empty the chamber pot.

Lin Ruoxi was angry but dared not say anything, so she had to take the chamber pot to the toilet to clean it.

Having just cleaned the chamber pot, Lin Ruoxi hurried back to the old lady's room, fearing that she would find fault with her slowness.

"Hehe."

When the old lady saw her coming, she motioned for her to wipe her face, and suddenly she spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

Lin Ruoxi was caught off guard and had to catch the spit with her hands.

The old lady looked at her and pretended to spit, asking her to catch it with her bare hands.

Seeing Lin Ruoxi catch two mouthfuls of spit, the old lady waved her hand and signaled her to wash it quickly.

Lin Ruoxi went to the yard, fetched water and scrubbed her hands several times. Finally, looking at the phlegm on her hands, she couldn't help but spitting out.

"Is the third lady okay?"

When Lin Ruoxi heard what Madam Zhao asked, she quickly wiped her mouth and said, "It's okay. I'll go back to my room and serve grandma."

"Oh. The old lady wants the third girl to invite the mistress, the eldest girl, the seventh girl and the eighth girl to come to the room."

"Call them?"

Lin Ruoxi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when her eyes met Zhao Ma's, she realized her current situation.

No matter how dissatisfied Lin Ruoxi was, she agreed, thinking that she could temporarily leave the old lady, and walked towards the courtyards.
