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

Lin Shiyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He swung his cane and hit him: "I will beat you to death today, you who brought shame to our family!"

The stick was swung so hard that Lin Huaixun groaned, staggered and fell to the ground. His shoulder felt a sharp pain, but he did not resist. He just closed his eyes and endured it silently.

"Master, stop it!"

An anxious cry rang out, and Sun Rong stumbled in with the help of Nanny, her eyes full of fear and pain: "Master, calm down! No matter what happened, we can't do this!"

Lin Shiyuan roared angrily, "Calm down? You want me to calm down? I am the head of the Lin family, and I am being scolded! Everyone in the capital is treating us as a joke, and you still want me to calm down?"

Sun Rong cried and held Lin Shiyuan's hand, begging, "Master, Huaixun is your own flesh and blood! No matter how foolish he is, he is still your son! If you beat him to death, won't the Lin family be laughed at for the rest of their lives?"

Lin Shiyuan was startled, and the anger on his face subsided a little, but he still said in a cold voice: "Then I will deal with Chen Wan today! A shameless concubine and a useless rebellious son, they must die to be at peace!"

Sun Rong shook her head repeatedly, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Master, you can't do this! Chen Wan is abominable, but Huaixun is our son! Can you bear to let him be ruined like this? Have you ever thought about the other people in the family? Ruoxue was punished to kneel in the Qi family, and Ruoxuan was almost divorced in the Gu family. Isn't all this enough to wake you up?"

She turned to look at Lin Huaixun who was kneeling on the ground, and burst into tears: "Huaixun, don't be stubborn anymore! You will only destroy the entire Lin family! Do you think that all the sisters in the family will accompany you to be buried with love?"

When Lin Huaixun heard the word "buried together", his whole body trembled. He suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother with tears streaming down her face. Struggle and pain appeared in his eyes.

"Mother..." He spoke hoarsely, his eyes full of guilt, "I... I didn't mean to hurt anyone... I never thought it would turn out like this..."

Sun Rong grabbed his hand and burst into tears: "If that's the case, you should wake up! You are the eldest son of the Lin family, the future of the family! How can you drag down the fate of everyone because of Chen Wan?"

Lin Huaixun knelt on the ground, his face pale, tears silently falling.

He slowly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, Mother, I admit that this matter is my fault. It is me who has implicated the Lin family and caused the eldest sister and the eighth sister to suffer... I will cooperate with everyone and solve all problems according to the family's arrangements."

Lin Shiyuan frowned and said coldly: "Do you really know you are wrong?"

Lin Huaixun nodded heavily, and said with tears in his eyes: "I know I was wrong...but I only have one request..."

His voice was choked with sobs, and there was a struggle in his eyes. "Chen Wan... Chen Wan can be sent to the farm to recuperate, but don't hurt her. Although she seduced me, I can't shirk my responsibility. Killing her is like our Lin family can pretend that nothing happened, but that's not the case..."

When he said this, his voice dropped and his shoulders trembled: "This is my fault. I can't blame her entirely... I can't let her lose her life."

Sun Rong's eyes turned red, and she sighed and looked at Lin Ruoxuan, with helplessness in her tone: "Ruoxuan, what do you think?"

Lin Ruoxuan was silent for a moment, with a complex expression in her eyes, and then she spoke softly: "Mother, Fourth Brother is right. Although Chen Wan made a mistake, we really can't kill her completely."

Mainly, she felt that killing was a serious sin that could not be tolerated by heaven, especially for an unborn child. If such a fate was disturbed, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Lin Shiyuan paused for a moment while leaning on his cane. There was hesitation in his eyes, but his tone was still unfriendly: "Are we just going to let her go like this?"

Lin Ruoxuan smiled calmly: "Let her go? No, we won't let her go. But the threat she poses to the Lin family is no longer life-threatening. As long as we send her to the manor and cut off all contact with the outside world, the problem will naturally be solved."

Lin Shiyuan snorted coldly, and his eyes swept gloomily over Lin Huaixun who was kneeling on the ground: "Did you hear that? I can send Chen Wan away as you requested, but I warn you, don't have any thoughts of protecting her anymore!"

Lin Huaixun lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, father, I understand."

Lin Ruoxuan stood up, walked to Lin Huaixun, and said in a slightly softer tone: "Fourth brother, you should go and take care of your body first. You are already seriously injured. If you don't rest and recuperate, you will only drag yourself down."

She turned to the servant beside her and ordered, "Send the fourth young master back to his room and take good care of him. No one is allowed to disturb him."

The servant responded and helped Lin Huaixun up. The latter staggered to his feet and said hoarsely, "Eighth sister, thank you."

Afterwards, Lin Ruoxuan coughed lightly and raised her head to break the silence, "Father, Mother, I think we must keep the fact that Chen Wan is pregnant a secret for the time being."

Lin Shiyuan stopped and turned to glare at her: "Hide it? Why do you want to hide it? Her pregnancy is a shame for our Lin family. If we continue to hide it, won't it make us look even more guilty?"

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes were calm, and her voice was calm and decisive: "Father, have you ever thought about how Fourth Brother would react if he knew that Chen Wan was pregnant?"

Lin Shiyuan frowned and snorted coldly: "What else can we do? Hasn't he already agreed to cooperate? Could it be that he still wants to make trouble?"

Lin Ruoxuan shook her head: "Father, you underestimated Fourth Brother too much. Although he agreed to cooperate, he still has feelings for Chen Wan. If he knew that she was pregnant, he would probably protect her desperately, even at the cost of being our enemy. By then, let alone calming down the scandal, this matter will only become more difficult to resolve."

When Sun Rong heard this, her face turned pale and she quickly looked at Lin Ruoxuan: "Ruoxuan, you are right. Huaixun has always protected Chen Wan. If he knew about the child, I don't know what would happen."

Lin Shiyuan's face turned livid, and he said coldly, "So what you mean is, don't say anything now, and wait until some time to deal with it?"

Lin Ruoxuan raised her head with a firm gaze: "We'll talk about it after the baby is born. Right now, we must focus all our energy on calming down the rumors outside. Fourth brother must not know about Chen Wan and the child. Otherwise, things will only get worse."

Lin Shiyuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "If it weren't for your sake, I would have dealt with that woman and her bastard long ago, there would be no need to go through so much trouble!"

Sun Rong wiped her tears and advised, "Master, what Ruoxuan said makes sense. Although Chen Wan is hateful, the child is innocent. If we really harm that life, I'm afraid the trouble we'll cause will be even greater. Our Lin family is already in enough chaos right now, we must not let any more trouble happen."

Lin Ruoxuan said in a deep voice: "Father, mother, we can no longer dwell on the right and wrong of the past, we can only focus on the current problems. Fourth brother has already agreed to cooperate, now as long as we stabilize him, the situation of the Lin family will not deteriorate any further. As for the matter of Chen Wan and the child, we just need to temporarily block the news, and it won't be too late to deal with it after the scandal has subsided."

Lin Shiyuan took a deep breath and sighed, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
