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

After chatting for a while, Song Zhennan said he was going to see Qi Zeshen. Qi Sijun didn't ask anything and directly had someone take him to the study.

Not long after, Qi Zeshen saw Song Zhennan. He looked calm, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Zhennan, why are you here?"

Song Zhennan did not hide anything and directly told the current situation, especially Ren Wang's movements and intentions.

His tone was earnest, his eyes full of anxiety: "Ze Shen, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can take me to see the prince."

After a long silence, Qi Zeshen sighed slightly, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.

"Zhennan, I understand your painstaking efforts, and I also understand that you are thinking about the Song family."

Qi Zeshen spoke slowly, his tone calm but with a hint of deep thought, "But if you ask me, the key to this matter does not lie with outsiders like us, but with your own family. If you can't convince them, it will be useless for us to worry here."

When Song Zhennan heard this, he felt bitter.

He has tried his best to persuade them, but his family not only does not understand, they are even about to break off relations with him.

Song Zhennan said in a low voice, with a hint of pleading and uneasiness, "What should I do if they don't listen?"

After hearing what he said, Qi Zeshen's expression eased a little, and he obviously felt a little reluctant.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but... you also know that this matter is complicated and involves a lot of things. If your family insists on standing on Ren Wang's side, no matter how much we interfere, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Song Zhennan gritted his teeth, his fists gradually clenched in his sleeves, his heart was already in a mess.

But Qi Zeshen couldn't bear to see him bear it all alone.

He sighed and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the Zhenguogong Mansion and see if he has any solution. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Song Zhennan's heart moved and a hint of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then bowed solemnly to Qi Zeshen: "Thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I really don't know what to do."

In the spacious hall of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Gu Nanyuan was sitting in the main seat, listening quietly to Song Zhennan's narration of the whole story.

Qi Zeshen stood aside, occasionally interjecting a few words to add details.

Song Zhennan's tone was sincere, his eyes were anxious, but also a little tired.

After the story was finished, the hall fell into silence for a moment.

Gu Nanyuan held the teacup in his hand and turned it gently. His expression did not change, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he slowly spoke in a steady tone: "Zhennan, your worries are not without reason. Ren Wang is indeed stepping up efforts to win over various forces, especially wealthy families like the Wu family and the Song family."

Song Zhennan's heart sank. Sure enough, Gu Nanyuan's opinion coincided with his own.

He knew this was true, but his family just didn't want to believe the crisis behind it.

"Prince, is there no other way?" Song Zhennan asked anxiously, his eyes full of desire.

He was at his wit's end and could only hope to find a way to save the Song family.

Gu Nanyuan smiled slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, looking directly at Song Zhennan, but his tone was still calm: "There is a way, of course there is. However, you may find this method difficult."

"What method?" Song Zhennan asked hurriedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Gu Nanyuan put down the teacup, folded his hands on his knees, and said slowly: "If you want to save the Song family, the most direct way is for you to control the Song family yourself.

If you can become the head of the Song family, you will have the final say on how the Song family should choose. "

After hearing these words, Song Zhennan was stunned.

He never expected Gu Nanyuan to come up with such a solution.

Taking charge of the Song family? This not only means that he will have to confront his parents and grandmother, but also means that he may have to shoulder all the responsibilities of the family. He may even be regarded as a traitor by his family and become the target of public criticism.

Qi Zeshen understood that this step was extremely difficult, but he did not say anything. He just waited quietly for Song Zhennan's reaction.

"This..." Song Zhennan opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be stuck by something and he couldn't speak for a long time.

He never thought that he would be faced with such a choice one day.

Gu Nanyuan looked at him, his tone still calm: "If you don't dare to make this decision and let King Ren continue to win over the Song family, the Song family will be involved sooner or later, and it will be too late for you to regret it by then.

Although it is difficult to manage the Song family, it is not necessarily impossible. The key is whether you are willing to take on this responsibility. "

The hall fell silent for a moment, and Song Zhennan felt extremely complicated.

The faces of his family members appeared in his mind one by one. His father's stern gaze, his mother's cold expression, his grandmother's disappointment and reproach, all seemed to tell him that he was not the head they expected.

However, if he did not stand up, the Song family would be pushed into an abyss from which there would be no escape.

"As long as I can save the Song family, I am willing to do anything." Song Zhennan raised his head, his tone was firm, and there was no hesitation in his eyes. "Even if I am misunderstood by my family and criticized by the world, I have no regrets."

Gu Nanyuan taught him, "Zhennan, when you go back this time, you must support your parents' decisions in everything. You must be more positive and let them see that you are mature and willing to make sacrifices for the family.

Two months later, there will be an opportunity for you to truly take control of the Song family, so remember to seize it."

Song Zhennan nodded, clenched his hands, and his eyes showed determination: "I understand."

Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen watched him leave. Gu Nanyuan pondered for a moment and said softly, "This step he took is crucial. If he is not careful, he will be doomed."

Qi Zeshen nodded slightly: "Yes, but Zhennan has no way out. He can only try his best to fight for it."

After returning to the Song family, Song Zhennan quickly adjusted his mentality and followed Gu Nanyuan's advice, changing his previous confrontational attitude.

He took the initiative to find his parents and personally brought warm bird's nest to his parents' room.

Mrs. Song was slightly surprised when she saw Song Zhennan coming in with the bird's nest.

Song Zhennan put down the bird's nest, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said sincerely: "Mother, I was too stubborn before. I shouldn't have argued with you and father for my own ideas. The interests of the family are the most important. Whether it is Gu Nanyuan or Ren Wang, as long as it is beneficial to the Song family, we should grasp it. I understand that my previous behavior disappointed you and father, and I really know I was wrong."

Seeing this, Mr. Song also put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him solemnly: "Zhennan, are you truly repentant?"

Song Zhennan nodded, his tone firm: "Father, I really know I was wrong. I always thought about my own ideas before, but ignored the interests of the family."
