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

Gu Nanyuan didn't say a word, and didn't even glance at him. Instead, he turned to Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong and said, "Uncle, Aunt, let's leave now. I have arranged a carriage on the way to Rulou."

Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong nodded in agreement, and then Gu Nanyuan took Lin Ruoxuan and the Lin couple out of the front hall.

Before leaving, Lin Ruoxuan looked back at Song Yuqing who was still standing beside her, with a hint of indifference and warning in her eyes.

Song Yuqing lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

After Gu Nanyuan and the Lin family left, Mr. Song breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and whispered to Song Yuqing: "Let's go too, today's incident is finally over."

In the old lady's yard of the Song Mansion.

Mr. Song called all his legitimate sons and daughters.

After everyone arrived, Mr. Song announced his decision: "I agree to the marriage between Zhennan and Miss Lin Qi."

After hearing this, everyone had different expressions, and they obviously found it difficult to accept Mr. Song's decision.

"Father," Song Zhennan spoke first, his tone full of confusion, "Are you really determined to let me marry the seventh daughter of the Lin family? Aren't you afraid that her rural origin will affect the reputation of our Song family in the capital?"

Mrs. Song also hurriedly agreed, “Yes, Master, although Miss Seven is a daughter of the Lin family, she is from the countryside after all, which does not quite match the status of our Song family.

Zhennan's future marriage is a major event that concerns the future of our Song family. How can we make a hasty decision?"

The other legitimate sons and daughters also expressed their opposition, and some even said bluntly: "Father, if our family marries a country girl, our status in the capital will definitely be affected in the future."

"Besides, after other noble families know about this, they will probably look down on our Song family, and our marriage plans will probably be affected in the future."

As Mr. Song listened to the crowd's voices of objection, his expression became increasingly serious.

He slammed the table, his voice full of authority and dissatisfaction: "Enough! You people have such a narrow vision! Can't you see the longer-term benefits?"

His voice echoed in the room, shocking everyone.

Madam Song and the old lady looked at each other. Although they were still puzzled, they did not dare to say anything more.

The other children were also frightened by their father's majesty and kept silent.

Mr. Song glanced at everyone coldly, his tone full of unquestionable authority.

"You only saw the origin of Miss Seven, but you didn't see the relationship behind her. Although she was born in the countryside, her sister is Lin Ruoxuan, and her brother-in-law is Gu Nanyuan!"

"Don't you know what kind of family the Gu family is? If Zhennan marries the Seventh Miss, it means he will be related to Gu Nanyuan. Lin Ruoxuan and the Seventh Miss are like sisters, so she will naturally take good care of the Seventh Miss in the future. This is a great benefit to our Song family!"

Mrs. Song and the old lady looked at each other and began to realize the truth of what Mr. Song said.

After all, in this capital city, being able to establish a relationship with the Gu family is indeed a great honor and help.

Song Zhennan had been standing aside, silently listening to his family members discussing the "value" of the Seventh Girl, and an indescribable emotion gradually rose in his heart.

He never thought that his future marriage would be discussed so coldly as a transaction.

Although he understood that the family's interests came first, his heart was filled with uneasiness and resistance when he thought of the Seventh Girl's pure gaze and her heroic figure on the polo field.

Finally, Song Zhennan couldn't help but speak, "Father, everyone, I am willing to marry Miss Seven not because of her so-called 'value', but because I really like her.

She is not an object and should not be discussed like this. If I marry a wife, it will not be just for the benefit of the Song family."

There was silence in the room, and a hint of surprise appeared on Mr. Song's originally calm face.

Mrs. Song and the old lady looked at each other, feeling a little at a loss.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Song finally smiled, with a rare gentle tone: "Zhennan, since you are so sincere, it's even better. Whether for the Song family or your personal happiness, this marriage must be successful."

Song Zhennan was surprised. He originally thought that his father would oppose his "emotional" words, but he did not expect that Mr. Song actually supported him.

"Zhennan," Mr. Song continued, "Since you really like Miss Seven, then pursue her with all your heart and make her fall in love with you too."

"Just go ahead and pursue Miss Seven. I'll give you 10,000 taels of silver. If it's not enough, we can talk later."

"Thank you for your support, Dad."

Mr. Song nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the others in the room and said in a serious tone: "You all must remember that from now on, no one is allowed to sabotage them. You must strongly support and bring them together."

As in the building.

The Gu couple and the Song couple were sitting together, the aroma of tea was in the air, and they raised their glasses to drink from time to time, laughing frequently.

Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan sat aside, listening quietly to the conversation of their elders, feeling a little nervous but also a little expectant.

Madam Gu smiled and mentioned the marriage of Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan, her eyes full of love and relief: "Speaking of which, it's time for Nanyuan and Xuan'er's marriage to be settled.

I have discussed with the master and decided to send the betrothal gift in ten days, and then follow the procedure. The wedding will be scheduled for the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, which is a good day for celebration. "

Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong looked at each other, with relieved smiles on their faces.

Sun Rong said softly, "We naturally have no objection. As long as the children like it, everything is fine."

Gu Nanyuan glanced at Lin Ruoxuan, and then said to the elders present: "Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are of course important, but Xuan'er and I are truly in love. We are lucky to be able to get married on this auspicious day."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, with a shy smile on her face, but her eyes were full of happiness.

Seeing this scene, the elders of both families felt relieved and sighed that this marriage would surely be smooth and a match made in heaven.

At the same time, in the inner courtyard of the Lin family.

The third girl, Lin Ruoxi, gently pushed open the door of the fifth girl, Lin Ruoying, and walked in.

There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, but a gentle smile hung on the corners of her mouth.

“Sister, I have something to tell you.” Lin Ruoxi smiled and sat next to Lin Ruoying, her tone somewhat intimate.

Lin Ruoying was sitting alone by the window, looking a little lonely.

Hearing Lin Ruoxi's words, she looked up, with a bit of doubt in her eyes: "Third sister, just say whatever you want to say."

Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly, with a hint of cold provocation in her tone.
