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

"Father! Mother!" Lin Ruoting suddenly cried out, her eyes full of pleading, "We did plan these things, but we really didn't carry them out! Third sister only had this plan, but things didn't develop to that point at all! Please, considering that we haven't made a big mistake yet, give us a chance! I am homeless now, I don't want to be kicked out, I really have nowhere to go!"

As she spoke, she kowtowed with tears streaming down her face, her forehead hitting the ground hard. Her tears mixed with cold sweat, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Lin Shiyuan glanced coldly at the third and sixth girls. He was completely disappointed with them.

He was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "Ruoxi, Ruoting, you are not only vicious, but also extremely stupid. You dare to plot against your own sister and even disregard the family's reputation."

Seeing her father being so cruel, Lin Ruoxi felt a chill in her heart, and the cold sweat on her forehead slid down her temples.

She wanted to continue to argue, but she found that even Lin Shiyuan's eyes were unwilling to stay on her.

Lin Shiyuan sighed, his eyes full of disappointment: "I will no longer tolerate your misbehavior in the capital. Since you have no intention of repenting, then go back to your hometown. I will ask my family to find a good family for you, and you will be married off properly. You will never be allowed to enter the capital again."

When Lin Ruoxi heard this, her face turned pale and she was completely panicked.

She could no longer care about her reserve, and suddenly fell to the ground, holding onto the corner of her father's clothes with both hands, tears streaming down her face: "No, father! I don't want to leave the capital! I don't want to marry back home! I didn't do anything wrong, it was Ruoxuan and Big Sister who deliberately harmed me! They framed me, I am innocent!"

She cried and screamed, and even began to blame Sun Rong and Lin Ruoxue: "Mother, elder sister, why did you treat me like this? Why did you deliberately frame me? I did nothing wrong! This is all your conspiracy!"

Lin Ruoxi's cries echoed in the front hall, and her incoherent accusations made the scene seem extremely chaotic for a moment.

Sun Rong was so angry that her face turned pale. She gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of rage, and she almost lost her mind.

Lin Ruoxue looked at the third girl coldly, unmoved, and the disgust in her heart deepened.

Lin Shiyuan could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "Enough! You have evil intentions, and you dare to blame others!"

He raised his hand and waved, and instructed Mother Chen beside him: "Take them away, pack their luggage immediately, and send them back to their hometown!"

Mother Chen had been waiting for a long time. After receiving the order, she immediately came forward with a few maids and held down the third girl who was still crying.

The old women tied up the third girl mercilessly, blocked her mouth, and dragged her out by force.

Not in the garden.

After Gu Nanyuan finished his work, he hurried back to see Lin Ruoxuan.

"You're back." Lin Ruoxuan said softly, and a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes when she saw him.

Gu Nanyuan smiled slightly, walked to her side, sat down, took the medicine bowl handed to him by the maid, and looked at her gently: "It's time to take the medicine, be good, don't be so irritable."

Lin Ruoxuan did not refute, but just nodded slightly.

She knew that Gu Nanyuan was very concerned about her, so she opened her mouth obediently and let him put the medicine into her mouth spoon by spoon.

The bitterness of the medicine filled her mouth, but her eyes were always fixed on Gu Nanyuan, with an indescribable love in her eyes.

The two of them sat in silence as they fed the medicine spoonful by spoonful. The only sounds in the air were the slight breathing sounds and the sound of the medicine bowl hitting the porcelain spoon.

After Gu Nanyuan fed the medicine, he gently wiped the medicine stains on Lin Ruoxuan's lips with a handkerchief, and then instructed the maid: "She needs to eat light food these days and don't let her overwork herself."

The maid nodded and retreated respectfully.

Gu Nanyuan was about to get up and leave, but just as he was about to turn around, Lin Ruoxuan called him softly.

"Nanyuan," she whispered, with a soft and earnest tone, "Let's talk, okay?"

Gu Nanyuan stopped and looked back at her with a deep gaze.

He walked back to the bed, his expression still gentle, but with a hint of silent depression: "What do you want to say?"

Lin Ruoxuan lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Regarding the matter of the Wu family and Zhao Cezhi, I knew about their plan from the beginning, but I didn't tell you. It's not because I don't trust you, but because I am sure I can control the situation and don't want to burden you."

Her voice was gentle and explanatory.

She didn't want Gu Nanyuan to think that she was hiding the truth out of distrust. In fact, she had been thinking about him in her heart, but she was worried that he was busy with work recently and didn't want to distract him.

Gu Nanyuan listened to her words with a calm look, but a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

His voice was low and a little helpless: "Do you really think this is just for my own good? Or do you not consider me as someone you can face everything with?"

Lin Ruoxuan was startled when she heard this, and looked up at Gu Nanyuan. Seeing that he looked calm, her heart suddenly tightened.

Gu Nanyuan continued, his voice filled with depression: "In the final analysis, you still don't regard me as your true lover. You always think that you can handle everything by yourself. Even if you know that things are dangerous, you are unwilling to let me share the burden."

Lin Ruoxuan's heart suddenly tightened. She had never seen Gu Nanyuan say these words so calmly and painfully.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to explain, but was speechless for a moment.

Gu Nanyuan's voice was low and slow: "I am willing to bear everything for you, but you always exclude me. Do you think I would find these things troublesome? Or do you simply not believe that I can protect you?"

Lin Ruoxuan closed her eyes weakly, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

Gu Nanyuan's questioning was not unreasonable, but because he really cared about her.

She said in a hoarse voice: "It's not what you think... I have never stopped treating you as my lover. It is precisely because I have you in my heart that I always consider you, worry about your future, and worry that I will become a burden to you."

Gu Nanyuan stared down at her.

The air seemed to become heavy at this moment, and the silence was like a huge rock, making it hard to breathe.

"Ruoxuan, let me ask you," Gu Nanyuan's voice was low and hoarse, with a kind of restraint in his tone, "Do you have a heart or not? I love you so deeply, but in the end not only can I not get your trust, but I am also used by you. Do you think anyone can accept this?"

Lin Ruoxuan's heart trembled and her face suddenly turned pale.

She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but found that she had no idea where to start.

Gu Nanyuan's questioning undoubtedly hit her soft spot.

She had concealed too much, and had even used Gu Nanyuan in her plan. It was precisely because she knew that he might not agree with this matter that she chose to act alone.
