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

"Why don't we call them out and listen to their opinions and see what their attitude is towards this matter?"

As soon as Gu Nanyuan said this, the atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense.

Qi Zeshen's expression changed immediately, and he showed obvious panic on his face. He waved his hands quickly and smiled stiffly: "Hey, Nanyuan, you are really joking. After all, this matter is a grudge between the Song family and the Lin family. As an outsider, it is not appropriate for me to get involved."

Gu Nanyuan looked at Qi Zeshen, who was eager to distance himself from the matter. His eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips gradually smiled, as if he was teasing him on purpose: "Why, Zeshen, why are you so nervous? The Lin family is your future in-laws, shouldn't you make your attitude clear to them in person?"

"Why not listen to their opinions, so that we, the grown men, won't make decisions on our own and be accused of making decisions on our own."

Qi Zeshen's face turned pale, and he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, Nanyuan, please don't really call them out. I won't take care of this matter anyway."

Song Zhennan looked at Qi Zeshen who was trying to distance himself from the matter and couldn't help feeling helpless, but he also knew that Gu Nanyuan was deliberately testing his attitude.

He smiled slightly, indicating his attitude: "Nanyuan, I came here today because I hope we can solve this matter, and I came with sincerity."

Gu Nanyuan's smile gradually faded, and his eyes became deeper.

He looked at Song Zhennan, his tone no longer joking: "Zhennan, if your Song family really wants to reconcile with the Lin family, there is still a glimmer of hope. The Lin family is not unreasonable. If the Song family is willing to show enough sincerity, I can also speak for you. But if you are thinking about something else, such as the seventh girl, I advise you to give up this idea."

Song Zhennan's expression darkened, but he still tried to maintain a calm attitude, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Nanyuan, the reconciliation is true, but it is also true that I love Miss Seven, and I have never concealed this. Lin Ruoqiao may not have me in her heart, can't you see it?"

Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen both shook their heads, not daring to express their opinions on this.

Song Zhennan sighed, looked at the two grooms in front of him, and could no longer suppress the bitterness in his heart.

He said in a low voice with a hint of self-mockery: "Why can both of you easily marry the beauty, but it is so difficult for me?"

Gu Nanyuan glanced at him, his lips slightly raised, with a faint smile, but not without sincerity: "Zhennan, how can love be easy? You know the ups and downs that Ruoxuan and I have experienced along the way. Although Ze Shen looks carefree on the surface, she is also a girl with her own ideas. He has to put in a lot of thought."

Qi Zeshen scratched his head and nodded with a wry smile: "Nanyuan is right, don't think that my marriage seems to be going smoothly, in fact, there are too many difficulties behind it that you don't know."

Seeing him so depressed, Gu Nanyuan smiled calmly, as if he had seen through everything: "In fact, it is not impossible for you to marry the beauty. But the prerequisite is that you must have absolute say in the Song family, or go one step further and become the head of the Song family."

Song Zhennan was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly: "Are you kidding me? The person in charge? My father is still healthy now, it is impossible for me to be in charge. Even if my father wants to choose an heir one day, it will never be me."

There was obvious frustration in his words.

Gu Nanyuan looked at his helpless expression and said with some ridicule and undisguised joking: "I'm not kidding. If you feel that you have no say, then you should work harder."

Lin.

The front hall was particularly lively, with the sound of constant chatting and laughter coming from all over the room, and even the air was filled with a festive atmosphere.

All the relatives of the Sun family came to visit, except for Lin Ruoxuan's grandmother who was unable to come due to illness, almost everyone came.

Sun Rong's eldest sister-in-law Zou, the second sister-in-law Zeng, and Sun Rong's youngest sister Aunt Zhuang, all dressed up, making the occasion look particularly grand.

They each brought with them a daughter of marriageable age. Although their purpose was not made clear, they each had their own thoughts.

When Zou and Zeng saw that the daughter of the Lin family married into a wealthy family, they began to plan their own daughters' marriages.

They all set their sights on Lin Huaixun, the fourth son of the Lin family.

Zou was the first to speak, smiling broadly, and said to Sun Rong, "Sister, Ruoxuan's marriage is a great joy for our family. The Lin family and the Gu family are now married, which is a match made in heaven. We came here to add to the dowry and to help Ruoxuan. After all, this wedding is a great joy."

Sun Rong smiled and nodded, with a hint of modesty in her tone: "Sister-in-law is right. Ruoxuan's wedding is indeed troublesome. Thanks to all of you, her wedding was able to go smoothly. I was also very busy with this."

Zeng was not to be outdone and took over the conversation with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard on this wedding, so don't be too tired, sister. If you need any help, just tell me. We don't lack people to help."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhuang glanced at the daughters of her two sisters-in-law from the corner of her eyes from time to time, and became alert.

A barely visible smile appeared on her face, and her eyes swept across Zou and Zeng's faces, sneering in her heart: These sisters-in-law, each of them said nice things, but in the end they were all after the benefit of their own daughters.

She was secretly calculating in her mind, her eyes moving between her own daughter and the other party's daughter, and she had already made a plan in mind.

At this moment, Sun Rong smiled and said to the maid beside her, "Mother Chen, go call Ruoxuan and Ruoxue over so we can have a good talk."

Mother Chen nodded and turned to go to the backyard.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Zhuang's heart tightened. She immediately realized that if her two sisters-in-law greeted her so openly, her own daughter's chances would be even slimmer.

She frowned slightly, rolled her eyes, and deliberately picked up the teacup, but her hand shook slightly in mid-air, and the tea splashed all over herself.

"Oh no, my hand really slipped!" Aunt Zhuang exclaimed in surprise, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, and looked down at her wet collar.

Seeing this, Sun Rong hurried forward and said with concern, "Sister, why are your hands so unsteady? Let me take you to change your clothes, so you don't get wet and catch a cold."

Aunt Zhuang pretended to refuse, then nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister. I've always been clumsy."

Sun Rong's room was filled with a refreshing fragrance. The warm sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the wooden floor, casting a peaceful halo.

The furnishings in the room are simple and elegant, revealing the owner's refined taste.
