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

Luqiao nodded: "Okay, girl, I'll save it."

After Lin Ruoxuan finished instructing Lu Qiao, she wrote on the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Looking at the ink that had not yet dried on the rice paper, she pursed her lips and blew gently.

She put the letter into the envelope only when the ink was almost dry on the rice paper.

After Lu Qiao took the letter, she went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to deliver the letter to Gu Nanyuan.

Lin Ruoxuan did not waste any time. After seeing Lin Ruoqiao off, she dressed up and went to Mei Xin Pavilion in East Lake to wait for Gu Nanyuan. As soon as she arrived at East Lake, many women pointed at her.

"Hey, isn't this the eighth lady from the Lin residence? Why is she here? Are you here to cause trouble again?"

"Who knows? Anyway, her presence here is not a good thing. Everyone knows that the eighth daughter of the Lin family is shameless and is instigating divorce. I think she is just trying to be in the limelight, so she disregards the family's reputation and her reputation as the eldest sister and forces others to do so."

"She's so mean. I think she's really a vixen. She can't even walk when she sees a man."

During this time, a few men heard this, their eyes became lustful, and they came up to chat without caring about anything.

"Ms. Lin Ba, please do me a favor and come to see me. I will pay for all your expenses today."

"Go, go, I'll pay double. Eighth Miss, come on a boat trip with me and drink with me. As long as I'm drunk, I'll buy you whatever you want."

"..."

There were many other disgusting words, and Lin Ruoxuan felt annoyed after hearing them.

Luqiao and Hongya couldn't bear it any longer and just went away after being scolded.

"Get out, all of you, you are a bunch of perverts. You dare to flirt with our girl without even taking a piss to see what you think? If you don't get out, I will make you pay."

The men's faces immediately fell, and they began to say something sarcastic: "Why are you pretending to be serious? I don't know what kind of person you are behind the scenes."

Lin Ruoxuan's face was extremely ugly. No matter how dumb she was, she could tell something was wrong. But she knew in her heart that now was not the time to step forward and argue.

If she continued to argue here, she would annoy these men and provoke them to fight. She didn't bring many people with her. So, thinking of this, she got on the carriage and prepared to leave first.

Hongya was indignant: "These people are so mean, what do they know? They just keep chattering here."

Lin Ruoxuan felt a little irritated and sighed helplessly.

"I'm afraid someone is plotting behind the scenes, but now is not the time to talk about this. Luqiao, go and tell the servant to tell Gu Nanyuan to go to Rulou."

Now we have to change the place to talk.

Luqiao nodded and quickly gave orders. When everything was done, the carriage drove towards Rulou.

Soon, Lin Ruoxuan arrived at Rulou's private room. She sat on the chair and picked up the teacup, but did not drink it. Instead, she rubbed the edge of the cup with her fingers.

She was thinking about what those people had said just now. There was obviously something wrong with this matter, at least the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. Even if the matter was leaked that day, Gu Nanyuan would not reveal her identity.

However, those people not only knew her appearance, but also her identity. She didn't believe that no one deliberately leaked the information or spread rumors.

What went wrong?

Seeing that the girl was very worried, Luqiao and Hongya looked at each other and began to comfort her.

"Girl, you don't have to take what those people say to heart. Just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't bother yourself. They are all insignificant people."

"Yeah, girl, it's not your fault. It's just that these people are so mean."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't take these people's words to heart, but just wondered why these people knew it so clearly. She didn't believe that there was no one behind the scenes controlling all this.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Hongya, Luqiao, change into ordinary people's clothes and sneak in to find out the news. I want to know how such rumors came about."

What went wrong?

The two nodded respectfully: "Yes, girl, we will go now."

As the two people left one after another, Lin Ruoxuan slowly placed the cup that she was rubbing with her fingers in front of her mouth and let the clear water flow into her mouth.

After all, this incident did cause some ripples in her heart, but compared to what happened to her elder sister, it was a small matter.

Oh, she won't be defeated by these rumors.

She was bound to go against the wind despite these rumors.

Not long after Hongya and Luqiao left, Gu Nanyuan pushed the door open and walked in. His steps seemed anxious: "Xuan'er."

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Ruoxuan was safe and sound.

Lin Ruoxuan saw his anxiety and quickly poured a glass of water, handing it to him when he sat down: "Have you also heard the rumors outside, so that's why you are so worried?"

Gu Nanyuan nodded and said without disguising, "Yes, I just heard what the servant said this morning. We have sent someone to investigate the source of the rumor, but...Xuan'er, you have to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find."

Rumors are the most difficult to trace their source to, because there are so many people spreading them and no one knows who started it.

Lin Ruoxuan smiled and said, "I know you are thoughtful."

Gu Nanyuan felt sorry for her: "This is just a piece of cake. Don't worry, I will do my best to find the person."

He blamed himself for not protecting her well enough and allowing these rumors to spread.

It's totally wrong.

Lin Ruoxuan sensed his emotions, and with her slender fingers she pulled the chair closer to him, smiling and soothing him, "Don't blame yourself, these rumors can't hurt me. Although I'm not invulnerable now, I don't need to worry about these insignificant things."

There are so many beautiful things in the world for her to remember and explore, so why should she focus all her emotions on bad things?

Seeing how relieved she was, Gu Nanyuan felt a little relieved.

"As long as you can figure it out."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded, ended the topic, and directly turned the topic to Lin Ruoxue.

"I asked you to come here today because I have something important to ask of you."

Gu Nanyuan was puzzled: "Isn't it because of the rumors outside?"

She smiled, her voice gentle, and shook her head as she spoke: "Of course not, I won't bother you with this matter, I can handle it. I asked you to come here because I hope you can find an imperial doctor to come to my house quietly. I want him to treat my elder sister."

When she said this, she couldn't stop feeling sad.

Gu Nanyuan was not that worried about Lin Ruoxue's affairs.
