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

She wanted to get angry at Lin Shiyuan, wondering how come he, a man, had learned all the gossips from the ladies in the harem.

However, when seeing Lin Shiyuan's official robe that he had not had time to change, Old Lady Song Jia shut her mouth.

No matter how worthless Lin Shiyuan was, he was still an official appointed by the imperial court, and they had no right to associate with him.

What's more, the old lady of the Song family is just an ordinary old lady, not a lady of noble title. She has no right to criticize Lin Shiyuan.

"I was wrong. I will definitely find a nanny from the palace to take care of my son in the future."

The old lady of the Song family's face twitched a few times before she forced herself into a fake smile.

Seeing this, Lin Shiyuan did not say anything, but just snorted coldly and picked up the teacup beside him.

When people around him saw this, they knew he didn't want to say more.

The old lady of the Lin family looked at the people from the Song family and the smile on her face faded a little.

"Sister Song, why don't you tell me what's going on? If there's anything we can help with, we can have someone prepare as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the old lady of the Song family couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, to be honest, when I saw so many maids in the mansion, I suddenly thought of the girls in our Song family."

The old lady of the Lin family was still able to force a smile just now, but now after hearing what the old lady of the Song family said, her face completely gloomy.

If the girl from the Lin family had been severely hurt by his words at the beginning, they would have thought that he did it unintentionally.

But now that she heard the old lady of the Song family openly and secretly saying bad things about their young lady from the Lin family, the old lady of the Lin family naturally would not give her a good face.

A maid and a girl, do they want the girl from the Song family to suppress the girl from the Lin family?

The old lady of the Lin family looked at the people of the Song family expressionlessly, wanting to see what they were going to do.

The old lady of the Song family seemed to realize that her words were inappropriate and she couldn't help but cough dryly.

"Alas, there are too many children in this mansion, which is also a troublesome matter."

The old lady of the Song family shook her head, as if she was worried about too many things happening to the children in the mansion.

"Ms. Lin, you may not know that the eldest daughter in our mansion has already been engaged to Sanlang from the Duke of Lu's family."

When the old lady of the Song family mentioned this, there was unconcealable pride in her eyes.

Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows. If she remembered correctly, the eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Yuqing, was very noble yesterday.

She was very disdainful of Lin Ruoxue's attempt to get close to the Qi family. Looking at her attitude, she thought that Lin Ruoxue wanted to be noble and find a talented man with nothing but a wall to show her pure and flawless character that was not contaminated by the world.

Now it seems that this is nothing more than a lotus root covered with mud.

Seeing Lin Ruoxue marrying into the Qi family, she felt indignant. But marrying into a noble family made her feel superior to Lin Ruoxue.

Perhaps the look of contempt on Lin Ruoxuan's face was too obvious, and the old lady of the Song family couldn't help but frown.

Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Mrs. Song beside him.

Mrs. Song knew Lin Ruoxuan, so she naturally knew that Lin Ruoxuan was not someone to be trifled with.

What's more, Lin Ruoxuan has Gu Nanyuan's support and the Gu family as her backer, so they can't offend her easily.

When Old Lady Song saw this, although she was dissatisfied with Lin Ruoxuan in her heart, she did not dare to really criticize Lin Ruoxuan in person.

More importantly, she was worried that Lin Ruoxuan would not give her face and make her lose momentum.

"And the seventh young man in the palace is also planning to marry the only daughter of King Zhuang."

The obvious pride in these words made people frown, and they didn't understand the meaning of the Song family's actions.

Originally everyone thought that the Song family got up today for some other matter, but now it seems that they had misunderstood.

I'm afraid these people didn't come here to find them for anything, but to show off their power.

But the old lady of the Lin family and Lin Shiyuan were a little confused. It seemed that their Lin family did not have much intersection with the Song family.

After all, the Song family is the imperial merchant family and the emperor's purse.

In this capital city, apart from those wealthy and powerful families with dissolute young men, who else dares to openly get involved with the Song family?

Even if it was Prince Zhuang or Duke Lu, their ancestors were indeed royal relatives, but their descendants still had no one who could help them rise to prominence. This was why the emperor knew that after the Song family came into contact with the aristocratic families in the capital, some of them were disposed of, while others were left behind.

As the old lady of the Song family finished speaking, Mrs. Song hurriedly said, "Give me back my sixth son, and he will be engaged to the eldest daughter of the Wu family."

Although the Lin family is a noble family, in order to protect themselves, the ladies in the rear house do not have much contact with the noble families outside the capital.

Now that she heard Mrs. Song mention the Wu family, Sun Rong looked at her husband with some confusion.

But seeing that Lin Shiyuan didn't say anything, Sun Rong could only say, "I wonder who this Wu family is..."

Mrs. Song snorted complacently, "It's the Wu family of the Ministry of War."

Sun Rong looked at Madam Song in confusion, not knowing why she was tilting her head so high.

"That's really a good match. They are a perfect match."

Although she was not clear about the status of the Wu family, when Sun Rong heard Mrs. Song mention the Ministry of War, she still had some respect for them.

Although she married a civil official, she admired the military generals who defended the country from the bottom of her heart.

After hearing what Sun Rong said, the smile on Mrs. Song's face froze a little. This was not what she had expected.

Although she didn't understand whether Sun Rong was really stupid or just pretending, Sun Rong's words made it impossible for Mrs. Song to continue her acting.

Mrs. Song pulled the corners of her lips stiffly, and felt the gaze of the old lady of the Song family beside her, and said hurriedly: "Alas, I have watched my daughters get married one after another, and I always feel empty in my heart."

"Now, looking at these girls from our Lin family, my heart finally feels a little better."

As Mrs. Song spoke, her eyes turned red and she looked very sad.

This time, no one from the Lin family spoke. After all, they still hadn’t figured out the purpose of the Song family’s visit today.

Moreover, this family member had criticized the girl from the Lin family since he came in. Now he said such words again, which really made people feel his blatant hypocrisy.

Mrs. Song felt a little embarrassed when she saw that no one from the Lin family responded.

However, facing the gazes of her husband and the old lady in the mansion, Mrs. Song could only bite the bullet and force a smile.

"To be honest, when I saw our Lin family lending my daughter, I felt particularly close to her."

"It is better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Why don't we acknowledge these goddaughters today? We will definitely not treat them unfairly."

Mrs. Song talked to herself and without waiting for the Lin family to react, she immediately waved to the maid who was serving beside her.

"Hurry up and bring out the gifts so I can give my daughters some surprises."
