Chapter 140 Raising troops to investigate crimes
The old lady spoke, and Lin Ruoxi felt secretly delighted.
"Let's see how you can still be so arrogant now."
Lin Ruoxi thought about it and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Grandma, if the news of Eighth Sister's drunkenness gets out, I'm afraid it will not do any good to our Lin family!"
The old lady was already upset, and now Lin Ruoqiao and Lin Ruoxuan were causing trouble outside again. As the person in charge of the Lin family's backyard, she became even angrier.
"Madam Zhao, go to Sister Xuan's courtyard and call the two of them over."
"Yes, old lady."
Aunt Zhao, along with two old maids, walked to the gate of Lin Ruoxuan's yard in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
When Luqiao saw someone coming, she looked closely and saw that it was Nanny Zhao. She knew something was wrong and hurried in to inform Lin Ruoqiao.
"Seventh Miss, Aunt Zhao from the old lady's courtyard has come with her people."
Luqiao was extremely anxious and didn't know how to deal with it.
After hearing this, Lin Ruoqiao signaled Hongya and Luqiao to close the door, and she went to the courtyard gate to deal with it.
"Hello, Miss Seven."
Although Aunt Zhao said the words of greeting, her actions were extremely perfunctory.
Lin Ruoqiao didn't care and stood there listening to her next words.
Sure enough, Nanny Zhao and the old maid were about to walk in.
"Madam Zhao, is there something that requires you to rush into Eighth Sister's room in such a hurry?"
Lin Ruoqiao knew that Madam Zhao was not easy to deal with, so she said, "Now that Eighth Sister has fallen asleep, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Although Nanny Zhao received the old lady's order, she looked at Lin Ruoqiao who refused to give in, and couldn't help thinking in her heart that this Seventh Miss was not easy to deal with.
She cleared her throat, trying to make her tone sound calmer, and said to Lin Ruoqiao, "Seventh Miss, the old lady wants you and Eighth Miss to go together. She has something to ask you."
Lin Ruoqiao frowned slightly, waved her hand, and said calmly: "Madam Zhao, Eighth Sister has gone to bed. If there is anything, I can go see Grandmother by myself."
Nanny Zhao refused to give up and directly ordered the two old maids behind her to break into Lin Ruoxuan's room.
The two old maids were of sturdy build. After receiving the order, they strode towards Lin Ruoxuan's door without any hesitation, looking unstoppable.
At this moment, in Lin Ruoxuan's room, Hongya and Luqiao were listening nervously to the noise outside.
Luqiao stood at the door with her hands clenched tightly. She wanted to use her body to block the intrusion of the two old maids.
However, just as she was waiting nervously, she suddenly heard a firm voice. It turned out that Lin Ruoqiao had already walked to the door.
She turned to face the two old maids, swung her fists, and leaned against the door, saying in a firm tone: "Whoever dares to break in and disturb Eighth Sister's rest, I will make you pay the price!"
The two old maids turned around and looked at Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao waved her hand, indicating that they didn't have to worry about anything else and that they must take the person away today.
Seeing that he couldn't convince her, Lin Ruoqiao just threw two punches, punching each of the two old maids so hard that they almost fell off the stairs.
"Don't go too far!"
Lin Ruoqiao pointed at the door behind her and said, "Eighth sister is the fiancée of the young master of the Gu family. Now the whole capital knows it. Even father doesn't dare to make demands on Eighth sister. You servants dare to treat her like this. Aren't you afraid that the young master will come to cause trouble when the time comes?"
When Nanny Zhao heard this, she stood there in a daze and thought for a while. She knew Lin Ruoxuan's identity, but now it was the old lady's intention.
Seeing her hesitate, Lin Ruoqiao said, "Okay. I'll go with you to your grandmother's place. I'll explain anything."
Nanny Zhao also knew what was happening and took Lin Ruoqiao back to the old lady's courtyard.
When Lin Ruoqiao entered the room, she saw Lin Ruoxi in the room. She glanced at her and bowed: "Greetings, grandma. I wish you good health."
Seeing that only Lin Ruoqiao came, Lin Ruoxi straightened her back instantly and asked, "Seventh sister, why are you here alone? Where is Eighth sister? Is she drunk and unconscious and can't get up? Or has she done too many bad things and dared not come to grandma for fear of being punished!"
Lin Ruoqiao rolled her eyes silently and asked Lin Ruoxi, "Why didn't Third Sister go to see how her young mother was doing, but instead gossiped about her in front of Grandmother?"
She paused and continued, "Father's daughters are either as gentle and virtuous as the eldest sister, or as kind and polite as the eighth sister. But the third sister always likes to talk about others, and is cold-blooded and ruthless to her brothers and sisters. Could it be that the third sister is not father's..."
"Bah, what are you talking about?"
Lin Ruoxi was terrified by this accusation and scolded, "Seventh sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
She knew that Liu Xiaoniang was living outside with Lin Ruoting and Lin Huai because during the blood test, only her blood and her father's blood were mixed.
Despite this, she was still worried that the old lady or her father would believe Lin Ruoqiao's nonsense, and then she would definitely not be able to save herself.
Especially after doing the blood test, Lin Ruoxi was still scared in her heart, fearing that her father would doubt the reliability of the blood test again. What if her father regarded her as an outsider like Lin Ruoting? Then she would not be able to gain a foothold in the Lin family, and might even be driven out to accompany Lin Ruoting.
Lin Ruoqiao ignored Lin Ruoxi's words, and instead looked at the old lady, and said calmly and respectfully: "Grandma, I don't know who heard rumors outside and came back to talk nonsense. My eighth sister and I just went to listen to music and came back. Eighth sister is tired and rested."
The old lady obviously didn't quite believe it, but she really only had Lin Ruoxi's one-sided story.
Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi stood up and said, "Grandma asked the seventh and eighth sisters to come together, but why did the eighth sister take a rest? If people knew about it, and the eighth sister ignored Grandma's words in the mansion, I'm afraid..."
"That's right." The old lady slammed the table and continued, "Sister Xuan is really arrogant."
Lin Ruoqiao frowned, but her tone was calm. She had no choice but to bring up Gu Nanyuan: "Now Eighth Sister is Young Master Gu's fiancée. If she doesn't even have her own rest time in the mansion, it's probably not acceptable! I guess Grandmother is not such a harsh person."
The old lady was speechless. Now Lin Ruoxuan's identity as Gu Nanyuan's fiancée was really beyond her reach.
Seeing that the two of them wanted to ask more questions, Lin Ruoqiao simply said, "Third sister, if you don't have evidence, don't slander me and Eighth sister. Anyway, I don't know what Third sister is talking about."
