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

Song Yuqing did not take Song Zhennan's warning to heart. She believed that Gu Nanyuan and Song Zhennan had a close relationship, and Gu Nanyuan would never deal with the Song family because of a woman.

She was even secretly proud of herself, thinking that even if she did something wrong, Gu Nanyuan would not really do anything to the Song family.

However, the development of events soon shattered her fantasy.

A few days later, news came from the capital that more than a dozen shops of the Song family were suddenly investigated by the imperial court.

This inspection came without warning and was extremely strict, whether it was the hygiene, safety, or accounts of the shops, even some minor problems in the past were magnified one by one.

As a result, business of these shops has all come to a standstill, and they can only reopen after a thorough investigation and confirmation that there are no issues.

The managers of the Song family were so busy that they were overwhelmed, and many of them even lost their jobs.

Mr. Song was extremely anxious after learning the news.

While he was busy dealing with the court's inspection, he was also worrying about how to preserve his family business.

For several days in a row, he hardly slept and kept busy with these issues.

In the end, Mr. Song had no choice but to ask for help from the Jingzhao Yin.

After using a lot of connections, I finally met the Jingzhao Yin.

"Sir, please tell me what the problem is. This is not a solution."

As he spoke, he took out a box from his arms and opened it to reveal dazzling gold bars.

Beads of sweat dripped down Master Song's forehead, and his tone was filled with uneasiness, "My lord, I really don't understand something. These things happened so suddenly that I couldn't handle them for a while. Please explain to me, my lord."

Lord Jingzhao Yin nodded slightly, his eyes deep, "It's not without reason that your Song family's shop has been strictly investigated. I advise you to go back and ask your children at home if they have offended any important people recently."

Mr. Song was startled and then felt a chill down his spine.

He quickly leaned forward to thank him, "Thank you for your advice, sir. I will definitely find out the situation when I return, but can you please tell me who this important person is?"

Lord Jingzhao Yin said no more, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Mr. Song had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

He left the mansion with a heavy heart, and when he returned home he immediately summoned all the children in the house.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Song Mansion was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

Mr. Song had a furious look on his face. He sat in the main seat and glanced coldly at the children in front of him.

"What the hell did you good-for-nothings do out there?!" Master Song's voice was low and cold, filled with suppressed anger.

Several children stood aside tremblingly, looking at each other, but no one dared to explain.

They all vaguely guessed the root of the problem, but under the majesty of Mr. Song, no one dared to be the first to admit it.

Especially Song Yuqing, she felt her father's sharp gaze and was filled with fear to the extreme.

She knew she had gotten into big trouble this time, but at this point, she could only hope that things weren't that serious.

As time passed, her heart beat faster and faster, and cold sweat rolled down her forehead.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Mr. Song was furious. He stood up suddenly, slammed his palm on the table, and roared: "You still refuse to tell the truth? Do you really want to watch the entire Song family be destroyed because of your stupidity!"

His roar echoed throughout the main hall, shaking everyone's hearts.

Song Yuqing felt her feet go weak and she could hardly stand, but she still held on, not daring to say another word.

At this time, Song Zhennan knew that he could not hide it any longer. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and whispered, "Father, this is what happened... At the polo match, my elder sister... She spoke inappropriately and insulted the Lin sisters, angering Gu Nanyuan."

When Mr. Song heard this, a glimmer of enlightenment suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He had already guessed in his heart that it was probably because of Gu Nanyuan's actions that the Song family's shop was subject to such a strict inspection.

"Okay, very good!" Mr. Song sneered, turned around suddenly, and slapped Song Yuqing hard.

This palm strike was filled with Master Song's full anger, and it directly knocked Song Yuqing back a few steps, with a trace of blood immediately oozing from the corner of his mouth.

She covered her face and tears instantly welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to make any sound and could only lower her head and hold back the tears.

"You rebellious girl! Do you know what you have done? For your own momentary pleasure, you dare to offend Gu Nanyuan and the Lin family? Who do you think you are? What is the Song family in front of Gu Nanyuan!?" Master Song was furious and almost lost his mind.

Song Yuqing was so frightened that she was shaking all over and tears were streaming down her face, but she couldn't utter a word.

She had never seen her father so angry, and she felt not only fear but also unwillingness.

Master Song glanced at the other children coldly, his eyes full of warnings, "Listen carefully, from now on, no one is allowed to provoke the Lin family again, especially Lin Ruoxuan! Gu Nanyuan has already taken action against our Song family. If it happens again, our Song family will be doomed!"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to make any rebuttal.

Mr. Song took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Now is not the time to pursue the issue. The most important thing is how to solve the problem at hand.

The person who tied the bell must untie it. The matter could not be delayed any longer. Mr. Song immediately ordered the preparation of generous gifts and personally took Mrs. Song and Song Yuqing to the Lin family to apologize.

Song Zhennan was called aside by him and told, "Zhennan, to be on the safe side, go to Gu Nanyuan in person to test the waters and see what he really means."

In the inner courtyard of the Lin family, the afternoon sun shines through the carved window lattices onto the ground, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Lin Ruoxuan was sitting in the study, gently playing with the night pearl she had just won, but her thoughts had already flown far away.

Just then, the maids Hongya and Luqiao came in hurriedly, both of them looked a little excited and excited.

Hongya spoke first: "Miss, we just went shopping and heard that the Song family's shops were investigated one after another. It has been a hot topic in the capital these days!"

Lu Qiao also echoed, "Yes, Miss, this is great news. It seems that the Song family is in trouble! They really deserve it!"

When Lin Ruoxuan heard this, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and she was obviously not surprised.

She said softly, “Song Yuqing angered Gu Nanyuan this time, and their troubles are far more than that.”

Seeing that the young lady was calm and composed, Lu Qiao said, "Miss, since the Song family has already encountered troubles, I hope their troubles will not stop. Master Gu really did something that touched people's hearts."

"I just don't know who Mr. Gu is doing this for!" Hong Ya asked with a smile.
