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

The Fifth Master couldn't help but frown and muttered in a low voice, "Mother is biased for sure. The eldest wife has always been favored, who dares to offend her? Now that things have come to this, why are you still protecting Qingfu?"

When the old lady heard this, her brows furrowed and she felt upset, but she couldn't show it.

At this moment, Nanny Chen walked into the room quickly and reported softly, "Madam, the eldest master and mistress are not in the house. They have gone out to do some work."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Madam immediately seized the opportunity and her voice became even sharper: "Humph! They really did hide out on purpose! Such a big thing happened to our Fifth House, but they ignored it and slipped out on their own! How long do they want to hide? Old Madam, if you don't ask the First House to give an explanation today, our Fifth House will not leave!"

Her words were so aggressive that the old lady felt an immense headache, but there was nothing she could do as the current situation really put her in a dilemma.

Seeing that the couple from the fifth room were determined to fight to the end, the old lady had no choice but to tell Nanny Chen: "Go and clean up the side room and let the couple from the fifth room stay there. When the first room comes back, there will be an explanation."

The Fifth Madam was reluctantly satisfied. She snorted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Okay, then we'll stay. But mother, you know that no one in the Wu family can rest assured until this matter is resolved!"

The fifth master nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice, "Yes, if this matter is not resolved, the reputation of the entire Wu family will only get worse. Wait, wait until the eldest wife comes back, and we must give an explanation."

The old lady closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt somewhat helpless.

The atmosphere in the Wu family's hall was solemn. The Wu family's eldest and his wife frowned and paced back and forth. They looked at each other from time to time and sighed helplessly.

The two elders of the Song family also looked solemn. The four of them sat together, but no one spoke first to break the silent atmosphere.

Although the hall was spacious at this time, the depressing atmosphere made people feel a little suffocated.

Mrs. Wu finally couldn't help herself and asked first: "What should we do about this? Are we just going to watch the two girls go to jail and wait for something to happen and their reputations to be ruined?"

Master Wu twisted his beard vigorously, frowned fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Things have developed to this point, and we have no way out. We can't just watch them being locked up like this. The face of the Wu family and the reputation of the Song family can't bear it!"

Mrs. Song sighed and shook her head weakly: "It's not easy to find a way to save them now... We in the Song family don't have a good solution at the moment."

"Yes," Mr. Song took over the conversation, his low voice revealing helplessness, "If we want to save the two girls, it is no longer something that we can solve by ourselves. Rumors are spreading outside. If we don't do something, I'm afraid something big will really happen."

He frowned deeply, feeling heavy-hearted.

The hall fell into silence as the four of them pondered over what to do, their emotions growing increasingly anxious.

"The only thing our four families can do now is to unite as one," Mr. Wu stood up, his eyes bright and he said firmly, "Use all the connections we have and work together to find someone who can help. Now we must put aside our personal grudges. Only by working together can there be a glimmer of hope."

"But where can we find such a person?" Mrs. Song asked softly, "This matter has become so serious, who can we find to help?"

At this time, a steady sound of footsteps was heard outside the hall, and Song Zhennan pushed the door open with a serious look on his face.

He looked around at everyone in the hall and said in a deep voice: "No matter who we ask for help, the effect will probably be limited. The matter between Miss Wu and the elder sister is already a done deal, and all the evidence is there. I'm afraid no noble person will easily intervene.

The most practical way right now is to find Miss Lin directly and reconcile with her. No matter how good a noble person is, it is not as safe as reconciliation."

His voice was calm and direct, as if he had revealed the reality that they were most reluctant to face.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed. A trace of panic flashed in Mrs. Song's eyes, while the Wu couple instantly showed anger.

Madam Wu stood up suddenly, pointed at Song Zhennan's nose and cursed: "What are you talking about? This concerns the reputation of your Song family! How dare you say such depressing words! Coward! You are just a coward!"

Her eyes were wide open and she was very emotional, as if she wanted to vent all her anger.

Master Wu was not to be outdone, and said in an aggressive tone: "Song Zhennan, you are a man, how can you back down at this time? The Wu and Song families are already in deep trouble because of this marriage, and you are relaxed and just standing aside to watch the fun? We didn't get any benefits at all, and now there are so many bad things, and you are happy!"

Mrs. Song was so angry that she almost lost her balance when she heard this. She retorted, "Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, please don't say such harsh words! It's true that our Yuqing was wrong, but is your Wu Qingfu not wrong? She was the one who started the trouble first, and she was the one who spread the rumors that defamed Miss Lin!"

Mr. Song also had a gloomy face, and his voice was full of suppressed anger: "If Wu Qingfu hadn't taken the initiative to provoke trouble, would your Wu family have been arrested by the Jingzhao Yinfu? Don't put all the blame on our Song family!"

Mr. Wu was so angry that he was gasping for breath. He coldly counterattacked: "Our Wu family has lost face, how can your Song family be better off? If it weren't for you Song Yuqing, our Qingfu family would not have fallen to this point today? The original idea was from the Song family, don't put all the responsibility on us!"

The two families exchanged words more and more fiercely, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Just as Madam Wu rushed to Madam Song and was about to fight, Master Song slammed the table and shouted coldly, "Enough! What's the point of arguing again today? It will only make things worse! Shut up!"

Mrs. Wu's face turned red, and Mr. Wu's face was also full of anger, but he had no words to refute.

The Wu family was in a state of panic at this time and wanted to win over the Song family to fight against the Lin family together. However, things had come to this point and no one was willing to take another step back. The mutual blaming of responsibility had caused the situation to completely get out of control.

"Let's go!" Mr. Wu said coldly, and he pulled Mrs. Wu and stood up to leave.

Mrs. Song stood aside, her face equally unfriendly, and she looked at them with a sneer: "It's better to leave. The Wu family will have to figure out how this will end!"

The two families glared at each other in an atmosphere filled with tension. The Wu couple reluctantly left the Song family's gate.

Madam Wu did not forget to turn around and glare at the Song family fiercely, cursing in a low voice: "Just wait, sooner or later, you Song family will be in trouble!"
