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

At the banquet, the atmosphere gradually became tense as the wine glasses flowed. Everyone sitting at the round carved pear wood table had different looks and thoughts.

Song Zhennan sat there, his eyes drifting towards Lin Ruoqiao from time to time, his heart full of joy and anxiety. Song Yuqing, on the other hand, had an unhappy look on her face, staring at Lin Ruoqiao as if she wanted to stare a hole in her.

Lin Ruoqiao was wearing a light blue silk dress with a few simple flowers embroidered on the hem. Her hair was simply tied up with a white jade hairpin, which made her look fresh and refined. She lowered her head slightly, wondering what she was thinking.

Song Yuqing looked at Lin Ruoqiao, and her dissatisfaction became stronger. She felt that this country girl was not worthy of Song Zhennan at all, and should not appear in such an occasion. So, she cleared her throat and said, "Humph, some people really take themselves seriously, and don't even look at their own identity."

Lin Ruoqiao raised her head and looked at Song Yuqing blankly, not understanding why she suddenly targeted her. Song Zhennan frowned, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

Song Yuqing continued, "Lin Ruoqiao, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't you just want to climb up the social ladder? Let me tell you, it's not that easy."

Lin Ruoqiao's face turned pale in an instant. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to refute. Her heart was full of grievances. She had never thought of this before.

Seeing Song Yuqing being aggressive towards Lin Ruoqiao, Song Zhennan could no longer sit still. He stood up suddenly, grabbed Song Yuqing and walked out. Song Yuqing looked reluctant, struggling and shouting: "Let me go! What are you doing?"

Song Zhennan's face turned pale, and the strength in his hands increased. He walked away and whispered, "Shut up and stop talking nonsense."

Song Yuqing glared back at Song Zhennan angrily, "That's the mistake. The Lin family had a very good plan. All the girls in the Lin family married high-class men, and now they let a country girl seduce you. I'm talking about the Seventh Girl!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked, as if they were struck by lightning. They all looked at Lin Ruoqiao, some surprised, some puzzled, and some disdainful.

Song Zhennan was instantly furious and shouted, "Watch your words! I have no relationship with Miss Seven. Even if there is, it is because I have bad intentions towards Miss Seven and I have fallen in love with her."

Song Yuqing's eyes widened, as if she didn't recognize Song Zhennan in front of her. Her heart was filled with shock and anger. She didn't expect Song Zhennan to defend Lin Ruoqiao so much.

"Are you crazy? Your family has already chosen a candidate, but we can only let you meet her at the banquet in two days. No one thought that you would fall in love with the Seventh Miss." Song Yuqing said loudly.

Song Zhennan's eyes were firm and persistent. "I don't care what my family thinks. I just know that I like Seventh Girl."

Song Yuqing wanted to warn the Seventh Girl, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Song Zhennan grabbed her again and dragged her out without saying anything. Everyone in the room looked at each other with wide eyes.

Lin Ruoqiao's face was full of disbelief. She turned to ask Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue: "They said Song Zhennan likes me? Did I hear it right?"

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoxue looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. Lin Ruoxuan said softly: "You heard it right."

Lin Ruoqiao was completely stunned, she sat there blankly, her mind was in a mess. She didn't know why Song Zhennan liked her, nor did she know how to deal with such a situation.

This meal was destined to end in a bad mood. Song Zhennan and Song Yuqing quarreled in the yard until their faces turned red and their necks became thick. The noise was so loud that other brothers and sisters came out to persuade them to stop.

"Stop arguing, let's talk it over nicely." said the fifth brother, Song Zhenhao.

"That's right, is there anything that can't be discussed properly?" The seventh brother Song Zhenyu also said.

But no one understood the truth of the matter and could only keep shouting.

Song Zhennan glared at Song Yuqing, "Why are you targeting the seventh girl? She didn't do anything."

Song Yuqing was not to be outdone, "I just can't stand her. How can a country girl like you?"

"Don't worry about my business." Song Zhennan said.

"Hmph, do you think I want to control you? If it weren't for the Song family, I wouldn't bother with you." Song Yuqing said.

The brother and sister made a big fuss.

Song family.

The old lady of the Song family and the Song couple, that is, Song Zhennan's parents, were waiting for them in the front hall.

Song Yuqing and her third sister Song Yuxin, the fifth brother Song Zhenhao, the seventh brother Song Zhenyu and the sixth brother Song Zhennan, all of whom are direct relatives, came over together.

As soon as Song Yuqing saw the elders, she immediately stepped forward to complain and told them that Song Zhennan liked the Seventh Girl.

The three elders of the Song family all showed surprised expressions. Old Madam Song frowned slightly, looked at Song Zhennan, and asked, "Zhennan, is this true or false?"

Song Zhennan bravely admitted without hesitation: "My grandson really likes Miss Seven, it's not just a whim."

Madam Song's expression turned serious. "Do you know what you are talking about? Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated as a joke?"

Song Zhennan said firmly: "Grandma, I know. I am serious. I want to be with Miss Seven for the rest of my life."

When Song Yuqing heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Humph, Song Zhennan, you have never seen a country girl, so you are temporarily confused. After a long time, you will still be disgusted with her."

The other sisters and brothers also nodded in agreement.

After all, it is well known that Song Zhennan is a playboy, undisciplined and rebellious person.

Song Yuxin whispered, "You and the Seventh Miss of the Lin Family can only be like-minded. You can never live together. Otherwise, it will cause unrest among the whole family."

Song Zhenyu also echoed: "The Song family still needs to consider whether the seventh girl of the Lin family will marry here as a concubine."

These words completely angered Song Zhennan. He glared and said, "If you keep saying such irresponsible things, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Old Madam Song looked at Song Zhennan, feeling somewhat helpless. She knew her grandson's temper, and once he made a decision, it was difficult to change it.

Madam Song shook her head slightly and said softly, "This seventh girl from the Lin family is indeed not suitable for our Zhennan."

Mr. Song also agreed, "The girl from the Lin family is very clever and eccentric, so I'm afraid she can't be the wife. It would be more appropriate to take her into the house and raise her. In addition, we have picked Wu Qingfu, the daughter of the Wu family, the governor of the Ministry of War, for Song Zhennan. She is gentle and virtuous, and has the opposite personality to the seventh girl."

Song Zhennan decisively refused, "I just want to marry the seventh girl. If my family doesn't agree, then I won't marry."

Mr. Song was so angry that he stamped his feet and called him a rebellious son. "Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers. You have no say in it."

After saying that, he even had Song Zhennan put in solitary confinement.
