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

"You always think that you can solve everything with money, but things in the world are not that simple. No matter how much money you have, it can't make up for the instability of the overall situation and the breakdown of relationships. Zhennan's intelligence and stability are what the Song family really needs, not those children who only know how to squander."

Mr. Song finally couldn't help but whispered, "Mother..."

The old lady did not allow for any argument, her eyes were sharp: "The Song family cannot wait! By the time those children grow up, the Song family will have already missed the best opportunity. You must listen to me today, and you must do whatever it takes to reconcile with the Lin family. There cannot be any more mistakes."

Although her voice was not loud, every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mr. Song and Mrs. Song's hearts hard.

Mr. Song sighed and finally whispered, "Mother is right."

The old lady's eyes showed a glimmer of satisfaction, and she said calmly: "That's good to know, go and do it."

Now that Song Zhennan is released from house arrest, the first thing he does is to try to repair his relationship with Gu Nanyuan.

In order to eliminate this gap, Song Zhennan decided to go to Gu Nanyuan in person to show his sincerity.

When Song Zhennan thought of this, he immediately found Qi Zeshen and wanted him to go to Gu's house together.

When Qi Zeshen heard this, he immediately shook his head and refused, his expression full of alertness.

"Zhennan, I think it's inappropriate for you to do this. I don't object to you going to look for Nanyuan, but isn't it inappropriate to take me with you?"

Qi Zeshen waved his hands as he spoke, looking very embarrassed. "You also know that the Song family and the Lin family are in such a bad situation now. If I rashly follow you to the Gu family, wouldn't that be sending myself to be cannon fodder?"

There was a hint of hesitation and evasion in Qi Zeshen's eyes.

He knew in his heart that once it came to matters involving Lin Ruoxuan, Gu Nanyuan would definitely not easily tolerate anyone who went against the Lin family.

Song Zhennan's tone was a bit persuasive: "Ze Shen, you worry too much. The prince is not the kind of person who holds grudges. He and I have been friends for many years. Even if he is a little dissatisfied, he will not treat me coldly."

"You're going with me just to go through the motions. I won't let you become a 'cannon fodder'. Besides, we all know that your marriage with the eldest daughter of the Lin family has been decided. Logically speaking, you are the eldest brother-in-law of the prince. In this matter, you are the only one who can accompany me."

Qi Zeshen was still worried, and frowned, "You said it lightly, but if the prince's knot is not resolved, wouldn't I be in trouble if I follow him?"

Seeing that soft persuasion failed, Song Zhennan's face darkened slightly, and his tone became a little serious: "Zeshen, we have been friends for many years, are you unwilling to help me with such a small favor? Besides, the prince has never publicly severed his friendship with me. Coming here today to show our sincerity can at least let him see our attitude."

Qi Zeshen sighed helplessly, knowing that he couldn't refuse, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll go with you."

Song Zhennan patted Qi Zeshen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

When the two of them went to the Gu Mansion together, the Gu family was extremely busy.

As the only son of the Gu family, this wedding is not only related to him personally, but also to the interpersonal relationship of the Gu family.

The entire Gu family entered a state of intense preparation. The maids and servants were busy, and the house was decorated with lights and decorations everywhere, preparing for the upcoming wedding.

There was a constant stream of guests in front of the Gu Mansion, and many relatives and friends came to give gifts and blessings.

There was a festive atmosphere inside and outside the mansion, and the guards at the door looked solemn and meticulous.

Gu Nanyuan was handling official business in his study, his expression focused, with a slight trace of fatigue between his brows.

As the footsteps approached, he looked up and saw Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan walking in side by side. There was not much surprise in his eyes, but instead a teasing smile.

Gu Nanyuan put down the brush in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and said jokingly, "You, the groom, are really leisurely. Your wedding date is earlier than mine, and you still have time to walk around. Could it be that everything is going well for your wedding and you have no worries?"

Qi Zeshen heard this and smiled softly, half-jokingly replying, "Don't make fun of me, my prince. Although the groom's wedding date is approaching, I just took advantage of the last few days of my free time to come and see you. After all, if we brothers miss the pre-wedding meeting, it may not be so easy to get together again in the future."

Gu Nanyuan smiled and shook his head. Although there was sarcasm in his words, his eyes gradually became deep, and he had some guesses about the arrival of Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan.

He pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Song Zhennan, and said in a slightly softer tone: "Zhennan, you brought Ze Shen here today, I'm afraid it's not just to reminisce about the past, right?"

Seeing this, Qi Zeshen quickly said, "Today we do have some serious matters to discuss. Zhennan has something to tell you. You are all brothers, there shouldn't be any misunderstandings. Why make things awkward? Only by talking it out can everyone feel at ease."

After hearing this, Song Zhennan's expression became slightly solemn. He stood up straight, walked to the desk, took a deep breath, and said, "Sir, I am here to ask you a favor today. I am very aware of the misunderstanding between the Lin family and our Song family, but I have always hoped to resolve this grudge. Now that you and I have been brothers for many years, I naturally don't want to see us become estranged because of these misunderstandings."

Gu Nanyuan's brows twitched slightly and he was silent for a moment, his eyes still as calm as water, as if waiting for Song Zhennan to continue speaking.

Song Zhennan took a deep breath, his tone was sincere: "I only have one request today, that is, I hope that the Song family and the Lin family can reconcile as soon as possible. I know that the past events made the Lin family unhappy, but our Song family is now sincere and has no intention of continuing to be enemies. Nanyuan, I hope you can help mediate and make peace between our Song family and the Lin family."

Seeing Song Zhennan's sincere words, Qi Zeshen also stepped forward and echoed, "Yes, Nanyuan, we are all friends. Why should brothers be so awkward? You see, the situation is so complicated now. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Zhennan came here today to show his and the Song family's sincerity. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk to clear up the misunderstanding?"

Gu Nanyuan listened to what the two said quietly and was silent for a moment.

His gaze moved from Song Zhennan to Qi Zeshen, and finally returned to the documents on the desk. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if thinking about something.

After a long while, he looked up and said with a hint of amusement, "Zhennan, you said you wanted to reconcile with the Lin family. It doesn't seem appropriate for a few grown men to just talk about such a big thing here. The girls of the Lin family haven't expressed their opinions yet."
