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

The Song couple looked at the backs of the Wu couple as they left, their faces as gloomy as water.

Song Zhennan looked at his parents helplessly, took a deep breath, and spoke again: "Father, mother, I have already talked to the prince, his attitude is very clear, he has no intention of intervening in this matter. Miss Lin Ba is his fiancée, he naturally trusts her, there is no way he can help our Song family."

Madam Song frowned and waved her hand impatiently: "Zhennan, have you been bewitched by that girl from the Lin family? How could Master Gu just sit there and do nothing? You are just afraid of trouble and are looking for excuses not to solve the problem!"

Song Zhennan was anxious, and his voice rose a few notes: "Mother, do you think I would fool you with such a thing? The prince's meaning is very clear, he will not interfere in this matter at all, and even supports Miss Lin. If we don't find a way to reconcile with the Lin family, things will only get worse."

Mr. Song didn't take it seriously and sneered, "Isn't it just a girl? Our Song family is frightened by a little girl? No matter how much trouble she can make, can she still turn the world upside down?"

Song Zhennan frowned, trying to suppress his anxiety, and patiently explained: "Father, mother, you underestimated Miss Lin Ba. She is fierce and thoughtful. If we don't deal with it as soon as possible, the Song family may fall into greater trouble. Just like the Ou family before-"

Before he finished speaking, Song's father interrupted him and snorted, "Can the Ou family's affairs be compared with our Song family? The Lin family just married into a good family thanks to Lin Ruoxuan. Do you really think she is so great? Besides, how could Master Gu allow a woman to do whatever she wants!"

Song Zhennan looked at his parents' stubborn expressions and sighed in his heart, knowing that it would be futile to continue persuading them.

Mrs. Song revealed a hint of disdain in her eyes, and she ignored Lin Ruoxuan's threat.

"Zhennan, don't say anything more." Mr. Song slapped the table and said in a tough tone, "You have to remember that our Song family is also a well-known and prestigious family. We can't bow down to others because of a small matter. Go find the prince for me. If he really doesn't care, then our Song family will not sit idly by and wait for death."

Song Zhennan gritted his teeth, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and whispered: "Father, do you really think I haven't looked for the prince?"

Then he repeated everything he had said to Gu Nanyuan at that time.

But Mrs. Song still didn't want to believe it, "No, I don't believe you!"

Song Zhennan was speechless for a moment, feeling extremely anxious.

Mrs. Song said to Mr. Song anxiously, "We can't wait any longer. If we don't find a solution, I'm afraid the Song family's reputation will be lost."

Mr. Song nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right, the prince should either come out to help us, or we should go to the Duke of Zhenguo and suppress Miss Lin. No matter how powerful she is, she can't compete with the Duke's Mansion!"

After the two of them finished their discussion, they decided to take the gifts and go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in person.

After hearing this, Song Zhennan stopped him and said, "Father, Mother, I advise you not to go. This will only make things more complicated. The prince really said that he would not intervene at all."

Mrs. Song looked at her son angrily and asked, "You are just afraid of trouble! Such a big thing has happened to our Song family, are you going to sit back and do nothing? Why do you think we are doing this? It's all to protect you and the entire family!"

Song Zhennan sighed helplessly: "I'm not afraid of trouble, but I know very well that Miss Lin will never compromise easily, and the prince will not stand on our side. If you go to the Duke's Mansion, it will only make things worse."

Mr. Song slammed the table and said angrily, "You useless thing! You are just afraid! How can the Song family be forced to this point by a little girl? I don't believe that the prince can really watch his fiancée being so arrogant and domineering without disciplining her!"

Song Zhennan shook his head helplessly: "Father, you are wrong. If you go to the Zhenguo Mansion like this, you will only shoot yourself in the foot."

Mrs. Song pointed at Song Zhennan angrily and said, "Zhennan, you have been bewitched by that girl from the Lin family! Our Song family has not lost yet, so why do you have to complain about it here? We have plenty of ways!"

A trace of pain and despair flashed in Song Zhennan's eyes. He knew that his parents would no longer listen to any advice.

Instead of continuing the meaningless argument, it is better to let them hit the wall on their own. Maybe this will make them sober.

"I won't go to the Duke's Mansion," Song Zhennan stood up straight and said calmly, "You can go if you want, but when you regret it in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Mr. Song was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Song Zhennan's nose and cursed, "You unfilial son! It would be fine if you didn't help the family with ideas, but you actually spoke for outsiders! Do you have the backbone of the Song family?"

Song Zhennan's expression changed slightly. Finally, he stopped talking and turned to leave the hall.

In the evening, the Song couple came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with generous gifts and full of hope.

In the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, the Duke's wife personally received the Song couple.

After a few pleasantries, the Song couple learned that Gu Nanyuan was not at home.

Then they thought that if they could persuade the Duke and his wife to intervene, Lin Ruoxuan would definitely restrain herself.

Then he started to cry as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Madam Song wiped her tears and choked up as she said, "Madam, we, the Song family, really have nowhere else to go, so we come to you for help. If it weren't for Miss Lin's bullying, how could we have come to this point? She is now constantly retaliating against us, and is almost forcing our Song family into a dead end!"

Mr. Song also sighed repeatedly, his face full of worry: "Duke, you must make the decision for us! Now Miss Lin is relying on the favor of the prince to do whatever she wants, and even ruined the business of our Song and Wu families. Now it has spread in the capital that she has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo behind her, and no one dares to mess with her. The Wu family and our Song family are already overwhelmed."

Listening to the statements of the Song couple, the Duke of Zhenguo's expression gradually became solemn.

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Song, Madam Song, what you said is indeed a serious matter. If it is true as you said, Miss Lin's actions are indeed excessive."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo also echoed, "That's right. If Miss Lin really did something so outrageous, we would never be partial. Our Xiao family has always handled affairs impartially and would not let innocent people get hurt."

When the Song couple heard this, they felt a little relieved.

Although the Duke and his wife did not make any direct promises, their words and actions showed that they would not blindly favor Lin Ruoxuan.

As long as the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is willing to intervene and mediate, Lin Ruoxuan will not dare to act recklessly, and the Song family will have hope of escaping its current predicament.
