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

Lin Ruoxuan slowly stood up, frowning slightly at the soreness in her knees. She turned to look at Lin Ruoqiao beside her, her eyes full of gentle concern: "Seventh sister, are you okay too?"

Lin Ruoqiao lowered her head, put away the incense in her hand, nodded, and looked relaxed: "I pray to the Buddha to bless my elder sister and the child, as well as my fourth brother and mother. I also hope that the Lin family can calm down the storm as soon as possible."

Lin Ruoxuan sighed softly and said in a gentle voice: "The Buddha will definitely be able to sense your thoughts. The most important thing is that each of us is safe and healthy."

Her eyes fell on the Ping An Fu in Lin Ruoqiao's hand, and she raised her eyebrows with a little curiosity, "I just counted, and there seems to be one more Ping An Fu in your hand. Who is it for?"

Lin Ruoqiao was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks slightly flushed. She gently twisted the tassel of Ping An Fu with her fingers and said vaguely, "It's nothing special. I just prepared one more just in case."

Seeing that she looked strange, Lin Ruoxuan's eyes flashed with cunning. She chuckled and took a step closer, saying in a teasing tone, "Tsk tsk, you don't look like you're just in case. Could it be that you're giving it to Zhang Mo?"

Lin Ruoqiao immediately raised her head, her face full of surprise: "Ruoxuan, how did you know?"

After saying this, he felt a little out of control and quickly lowered his head, his ears turning red.

Lin Ruoxuan smiled even more deeply, and said slowly: "How else can you know? I heard from my mother that the Zhang couple came to propose marriage a few days ago. During this period, Zhang Mo has been very attentive to you. Besides, apart from Song Zhennan, he is the only one you care about."

Lin Ruoqiao was silent for a moment, nodded gently, and said shyly: "Zhang Mo is really good to me. He knows me very well and knows what I like and hate. When I am with him, I always feel relaxed and comfortable, unlike when I was with Song Zhennan before, I often felt uneasy."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and looked at her thoughtfully: "So, you are seriously considering him?"

Lin Ruoqiao pursed her lips and nodded, "I do think that Zhang Mo might be a good choice. At least, he really treats me well, and I can feel his sincerity."

Lin Ruoxuan gently adjusted her cuffs and said seriously, "Seventh sister, although Zhang Mo looks good, you shouldn't easily agree to it. Marriage is not a joke. You should test him more to see if he can really support you."

Lin Ruoqiao nodded slightly and thought: "You are right. I also think Zhang Mo has feelings for me, but his family situation is indeed a bit complicated. I will be cautious and will not make a decision too quickly."

As the two of them turned around a corridor, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them, with a somewhat helpless smile: "Madam, what you said is really not authentic. You secretly said bad things about me behind my back and wanted to ruin my marriage."

Zhang Mo, in a green straight suit, walked over with a smile on his face and seriousness in his eyes.

His steps were steady and his demeanor exuded confidence.

Lin Ruoxuan stopped and turned around, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her tone was calm: "Mr. Zhang misunderstood. I am just a younger sister who thinks more about Seventh Sister. She has a simple personality and is not suitable for a complicated family. As sisters, we don't ask her to be rich, but only to be safe and happy."

Zhang Mo was slightly stunned, then smiled: "The eldest lady is indeed protective of her shortcomings. I am not angry, after all, you are doing this for the good of the seventh lady. But since you don't think highly of me, I have no other choice but to work harder to make you see my sincerity and change your opinion of me."

Lin Ruoqiao pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but whispered: "Don't always use words to stop Ruoxuan, she is doing this for my own good, don't make her angry, then I won't be able to help you."

Zhang Mo heard this and immediately showed an innocent expression: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to make it clear that my feelings for you are absolutely sincere."

At this point, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes became serious, "Madam, I know that your Lin family has been in trouble recently, and I also understand your doubts about me. But I can assure you that as long as Ruoqiao marries into my Zhang family, I will definitely protect her and never let her suffer any grievances."

Lin Ruoxuan glanced at Zhang Mo and Lin Ruoqiao, with a slight smile on her lips.

She turned around, patted her skirt lightly, and made up an excuse: "Seventh sister, since Master Zhang has come all the way to see you, I won't be a light bulb. I remember there is a very special offering in the temple's dining hall. It's a good opportunity to go and take a look, and bring some back to mother and elder sister."

Lin Ruoqiao was stunned for a moment, and just when she was about to try to persuade her to stay, she saw that Lin Ruoxuan had already raised her hand and left.

She turned her head to look at Zhang Mo and found that he was staring at her with burning eyes. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and whispered, "Ruoxuan is like this."

Zhang Mo chuckled and said in a teasing tone: "Ruoqiao, don't be embarrassed. It's a rare opportunity like this, shall we go for a walk?"

Lin Ruoqiao nodded, lowered her head and gently stroked the Ping An Fu in her hand, and said softly, "Okay."

The two strolled along the flower-filled path in the temple's backyard. The wind blew gently, carrying a faint scent of flowers.

Zhang Mo turned his head to look at Lin Ruoqiao, his eyes gentle: "Do you like places like this? It is quiet and lively, very suitable for you."

Lin Ruoqiao smiled gently, her eyes falling on a swaying flower: "It's really nice here, much more comfortable than the hustle and bustle of the capital. When I was a child, I often went to the countryside with my sisters, and I always felt very close to places like this."

Zhang Mo nodded gently, his voice gentle: "Then we can go to places like this more often in the future. If you have some free time, you can also stay at my villa in the suburbs. It is also spring-like all year round there, and the scenery is pleasant."

Lin Ruoqiao did not respond, but just lowered her head slightly, her fingers unconsciously twisting around the peace and blessing knot in her hand.

On the other side, Song Zhennan followed Mrs. Song and walked silently towards the main hall of the temple.

Mrs. Song stopped and looked back at him, with a bit of impatience in her tone: "Zhennan, don't always follow an old woman like me. Since your cousin Zhou Qin is here, you should at least walk with her and see the scenery of the temple."

Song Zhennan cupped his hands expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Since mother has given the order, the son will naturally obey."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhou Qin who was standing shyly beside him, and softened his voice a little, "Let's go."

Zhou Qin lowered her head, her fingers tightly grasping the silk handkerchief, raised her eyes to glance at Song Zhennan, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Well, okay."

The two walked side by side on the corridor of the temple. Song Zhennan still had a cold expression on his face and walked slowly, just going through the motions.

Zhou Qin hesitated for a moment, and finally asked tentatively: "What does cousin like to do on weekdays? Do you have any special hobbies?"

Song Zhennan didn't even turn his head, and said calmly: "Nothing special, mainly dealing with the store's affairs."
