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

Seeing this, Song Zhennan looked at him with a hint of surprise, and then whispered, "My eldest sister and Miss Wu San were spreading bad things about the girls of the Lin family, especially Miss Seven, saying that she was fickle and unfaithful. Later, Miss Eight sent someone to tell them to kneel in front of the Lin family and kowtow to admit their mistakes... How could you not know about this?"

After listening to this, Gu Nanyuan frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment.

Song Zhennan thought he would solve it immediately, but he didn't expect Gu Nanyuan's expression to not change significantly. Instead, he was surprisingly calm.

"Xuan'er didn't mention these things to me." Gu Nanyuan said lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but more of trust in Lin Ruoxuan, "She just said that she would handle things herself, and I promised her that I would not interfere."

Gu Nanyuan looked at Qingji with a deep gaze, "Do you know about these things?"

Qingji took a step forward, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, I know."

Then he told her everything that had happened recently and how Lin Ruoxuan had handled it.

Hearing this, Gu Nanyuan nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "It is indeed Xuan'er's style."

Then he turned to look at Song Zhennan, his tone gradually became serious, his eyes sharp: "Zhennan, you have to understand that Xuan'er asked your family and the Wu family to apologize, which is already the most gentle solution.

She has the ability to destroy you directly, but she didn't do it because she left some room for maneuver. If you still don't understand the reason, then you'd better go home and persuade your family to do as she says."

Song Zhennan was shocked by these words and felt mixed emotions.

What Gu Nanyuan said was right, but these words made him feel even more powerless.

"I understand. I will go back and tell my family. But I'm afraid they—"

Gu Nanyuan interrupted him coldly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes: "Are you afraid of them? Zhennan, I thought you were a responsible person. Since you have made your feelings for Miss Seven public, you should stand up and block these dirty words for her instead of letting her bear it alone."

His voice was cold, mercilessly exposing Song Zhennan's cowardice.

Song Zhennan lowered his head, his face stiff. He didn't know how to refute.

He never thought that things would become so serious, nor did he expect that he would become the center of the problem.

Gu Nanyuan was right. The person who deserved least to be hurt was the Seventh Girl. The Seventh Girl had no feelings for him at all, but she suffered all kinds of criticism because of his family.

Seeing him silent, Gu Nanyuan's eyes flashed with disappointment: "If you can't even handle your own emotions, don't blame me for not giving you another chance next time.

I'll say it again, Xuan'er solved this matter neatly, and she has given your family face by asking them to admit their mistakes. If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for taking action myself."

Song Zhennan's face turned pale, and he finally made up his mind: "I understand. I will go back and persuade my family to do as you and Ruoxuan asked."

Gu Nanyuan nodded and said coldly, "You'd better act quickly. If there are any more slanderous words about the Lin family, you can kneel down in front of the Lin family and admit your mistake, because all of this is caused by you."

Song Zhennan lowered his head and said, "I understand."

Gu Nanyuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and left without hesitation, leaving in a decisive and resolute manner.

His steps were steady and his clothes fluttered slightly in the night breeze.

Song Zhennan stood there, unable to calm down the shock in his heart for a long time.

He suddenly realized that it was not his family's fault, but his fault for not handling it properly.

Song Zhennan has figured out that all the mistakes were his own fault.

He failed to protect the Seventh Girl, nor did he handle the relationship between family and emotions well.

Now, Gu Nanyuan's words made him completely sober - it was time to take responsibility.

He chose the time when the capital was busiest, and with determination and apology, he arrived at the door of the Lin family, beating gongs and drums.

The deafening sound of gongs and drums immediately attracted the attention of the people nearby, and they stopped to watch and whispered.

"Is this the young master of the Song family? Why did he come to the Lin family?"

"Are you here to admit your mistake? Is there really a misunderstanding?"

"I heard this matter caused quite a stir!"

Song Zhennan knelt in front of the Lin family's gate, his knees banging heavily on the ground, making a dull sound.

His expression was firm, his eyes full of guilt and determination.

When the Lin family's doorman saw this, he dropped his broom in shock and ran back to the house to report, "Oh no! Young Master Song is kneeling at the door!"

Soon, the news spread throughout the Lin family's inner courtyard.

Sun Rong was dealing with some trivial matters. When she heard the servant come to report, she stood up suddenly and asked in surprise, "What? Song Zhennan is kneeling at the door?"

Seeing that Sun Rong was a little angry, Mother Chen hurried forward to comfort her: "Madam, don't be anxious. Let's see what he wants to do first."

Sun Rong was indignant: "This Song family is really going too far. Are they forcing us to forgive them?"

At this time, Lin Ruoxuan also received the news and looked calm. She didn't expect that Song Zhennan would come to apologize.

Lin Ruoqiao happened to be in her yard. She had a complicated look on her face after hearing what happened. She didn't want to make things worse because of herself.

"Sister, what should we do?" The seventh girl said in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

Lin Ruoxuan chuckled, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes: "Don't be afraid, let's see how long he can kneel. People are here, we have to give him a chance to express his position."

"But..." Lin Ruoqiao hesitated. She was soft-hearted and didn't want to make things too big of a deal.

"But what? He can kneel here today because he knows he is wrong."

Lin Ruoxuan said in a cold voice, and then signaled to the maid: "Let's go, let's go and take a look."

Then she asked the maid to notify all the elders of the Lin family and ask everyone to go out.

Outside the Lin family's gate, Song Zhennan was still kneeling, the scorching sun shining on him and sweat streaming down his cheeks, but he didn't care and looked determined.

More and more people gathered around, and the discussions became louder and louder.

After a while, the old lady of the Lin family, Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong also came to the door.

As the head of the Lin family, Lin Shiyuan immediately stepped forward and tried to help Song Zhennan up: "Mr. Song, get up quickly, you are going too far."

But Song Zhennan remained motionless, his eyes were firm and his voice was sonorous: "I, Song Zhennan, know that if I cannot kowtow and admit my mistakes today, I will never be able to see Miss Seven again in my life, let alone face your Lin family."

As he spoke, Song Zhennan kowtowed again, and his forehead hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound.

Every move he made was without hesitation and with great sincerity.

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao stood nearby, and the two sisters looked at each other.
