A trace of pity flashed across Lin Ruoqiao's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotion, not wanting him to see her weakness.

"Mr. Song, your apology is sincere, but this matter cannot be written off with just a few words of apology."

Lin Ruoxuan said calmly, with a hint of coldness in her voice, "Seventh sister never liked you, but your eldest sister insulted you. Is it too late for what you did today?"

Lin Ruoqiao pursed her lips and whispered, "Ruoxuan, forget it, I..."

"Forget it?" Lin Ruoxuan interrupted her, her eyes shooting towards Song Zhennan like lightning, "Did she ever ask you to like her? Did she ever want to be hurt by the rumors in the capital? The instigator of this matter was Young Master Song's sister, so of course Young Master Song cannot escape the blame!"

Song Zhennan's face became paler and paler, but he remained unshakable.

He kowtowed deeply again, his voice heavy: "Seventh Miss's harm was indeed caused by my selfishness. I admit my mistake today to atone for it."

Madam Lin stood nearby, watching this scene, and sighed, "Alas, this child is indeed responsible, but the matter has become so serious that it may not be settled by just kneeling."

At this time, Sun Rong also came out, she supported Madam Lin, and said coldly: "Mr. Song, it's not that our Lin family cannot accept your apology today.

However, this matter cannot be solved simply by admitting the fault. My Seventh Miss's reputation has been ruined so badly by your Song family and Wu family. How much can this kneeling save? What are your plans?"

Song Zhennan did not raise his head and continued to kneel on the ground, his voice firm: "Aunt, today I, Song Zhennan, can kneel here, first to admit my mistakes, and second to atone for my sins. I just hope that the elders of the Lin family will not bear grudges against me, and will not take my elder sister's careless words seriously, and will not damage the harmony between the two families."

Song Zhennan has already done this much. If the Lin family still disagrees, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Therefore, Lin Shiyuan sighed: "Okay, you get up first, and don't do this again in the future."

Lotus Sun looked at the people who were watching the excitement and shouted, "Everyone, please stand here and bear witness. My Seventh Miss and Young Master Song have never had anything going on. The facts are contrary to the rumors. It was Young Master Song who was the one who came looking for my Seventh Miss."

Everyone nodded.

Now that things have come to this, it’s over.

But before everyone could react, Song Yuqing rushed out from the crowd.

She held a delicate little dagger in her hand and went straight towards the Seventh Girl.

Everyone in the Lin family was so shocked that they were speechless for a moment, and before Lin Ruoqiao could dodge, a deep wound was cut on her face by the sharp blade, and blood gushed out quickly.

"Ah!" Lin Ruoqiao cried out in pain, covered her face, staggered back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

No one expected that she would do such a cruel thing to Lin Ruoqiao in public.

The dagger in her hand slashed across Lin Ruoqiao's face, and blood immediately slid down her fair face. Before everyone could react, Song Yuqing was already furious, pointing at Lin Ruoqiao and swearing, "It's all your fault! It's you who seduced my brother and made him do such a shameful thing! You've ruined our Song family!"

Lin Ruoqiao covered her face with her hands, her expression full of pain. The shock and sadness in her eyes could not be concealed. She had never expected to encounter such a cruel attack.

Everyone in the Lin family was so shocked by this scene that they were speechless for a moment, and even the old lady was stunned where she stood.

Lin Ruoxuan reacted the fastest. She rushed over immediately and kicked Song Yuqing's arm away, forcing her back a few steps. The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"You're crazy!" Lin Ruoxuan roared, her eyes burning with anger.

She held Song Yuqing's shoulders tightly, her tone as cold as a knife, "How dare you do such a thing in broad daylight!"

Song Yuqing still had a crazy look in her eyes. She struggled desperately and screamed: "She is the one who destroyed our family! She doesn't deserve my brother's love! She is just a country bitch! I will destroy her today and make sure she can never marry into a rich and powerful family!"

Lin Ruoxuan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had used up all her strength in her hands, but she still maintained the last bit of her rationality and did not attack Song Yuqing on the spot.

If a dog bites you, you can't bite the dog back.

Lin Ruoqiao's face was as pale as paper, the wound on her face was bleeding, and she could hardly stand with her hands covering her face.

Sun Rong immediately stepped forward to support her, looking anxious, and ordered Mother Cong: "Quick, go find a doctor! Don't let the wound get infected!"

Song Zhennan was originally ready to leave, but he watched his sister do such a crazy thing. His face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were full of guilt and regret.

He almost crawled on his knees, trying to get closer to Lin Ruoqiao, but was stopped by Lin Shiyuan: "Mr. Song, what else do you want to do! What happened today is not only your responsibility, Miss Song's crime cannot be escaped either!"

The Song couple arrived late at this time, with hypocritical smiles on their faces.

Madam Song even pretended to reprimand them: "Yuqing, how can you be so unruly! How can you do such a thing in public? Quick, take them both back to reflect on themselves!"

She waved it off as if it was just a trivial matter.

Song Zhennan was furious. He looked at his parents with eyes full of pain and reproach. His voice was trembling but firm: "How long are you going to protect her? Don't you think today is embarrassing enough? If the seventh girl's face is disfigured, I will never let my elder sister go. I will make her pay the same price!"

Song Yuqing was enraged by his words. She covered her abdomen which was hurt by the kick and cursed: "Song Zhennan, you ungrateful bastard! You treated your sister like this for an outsider! She is just a country girl. Why do you favor her so much?"

The Song couple were so embarrassed to see their children arguing in public.

Mrs. Song said sternly, "That's enough! Stop embarrassing yourself here. Zhennan, you should shut up too and follow us back!"

Song Zhennan's face was full of pain, he stood stiffly in place, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Just as the Song family couple was about to forcibly take Song Yuqing away, Lin Ruoxuan's voice came from behind with unquestionable majesty: "Other members of the Song family can leave, but the eldest daughter of the Song family must stay."

This shout made the whole scene silent in an instant, and all eyes were focused on Lin Ruoxuan.

The Song couple's faces suddenly changed.

Madam Song turned around and asked, "Eighth Miss, what do you mean? Yuqing has done something wrong. We will go back and discipline her strictly. We don't want to make a bigger fuss about what happened today."
