Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen looked at each other, knowing that the current situation was complicated, and immediately said to Lin Ruoxuan: "We can't delay now. If we wait any longer, Zhennan's life will be in danger. Wu Qingfu's death can be investigated in detail in the future, but for now, as long as Zhennan's life is saved, we can make other plans."

Lin Ruoxuan thought for a moment and nodded slightly, understanding that their decision at this moment was the best way out.

Gu Nanyuan continued, "Ruoxuan, the most important thing now is to make Madam Wu realize the situation. I can ensure that the male members of the Wu family will not be sentenced to death, but I am afraid that I cannot change the exile. You should go to Madam Wu and explain the situation clearly. Don't delay the opportunity to save Song Zhennan any longer."

Lin Ruoxuan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said with a firm look, "Okay, I'll go to the Wu family now."

Qi Zeshen also nodded slightly, his voice low but somewhat calm: "Song Zhennan's case involves many things, and the problems within the Song family are endless."

"He was devoted to protecting the family, but Song Yuqing and others took the opportunity to divide up the assets, which was already chilling. After rescuing Zhennan, if necessary, we will let him take control of the Song family's assets again, so that he won't work hard for nothing."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, her eyes cold: "I understand."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and had already made plans in her mind, "I will go to Wu's house now."

Gu Nanyuan nodded slightly and said softly, "I will have someone protect you in secret. If there is any change, write back immediately."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded to him and left as everyone watched.

Inside the Wu Mansion, Lin Ruoxuan walked in quickly with Luqiao and Hongya.

When Mrs. Wu heard that she was coming, the worry on her face eased a little, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes, and she hurried over to greet her.

As soon as she saw Lin Ruoxuan, she said anxiously: "Miss Lin, now that things have come to this, if you have a solution, my Wu family will definitely cooperate with you fully!"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded slightly, and after a brief greeting, she got straight to the point and said in a low voice: "Madam Wu, I can't let the men of the Wu family go free. The existing evidence is conclusive, and it is impossible to get away with it. But I can assure you that they will not be executed."

Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Just as she was about to agree, she heard a loud roar coming from the yard, followed by a series of muffled sounds and fighting.

Madam Wu's expression changed. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw the housekeeper rushing in, reporting in a panic, "Madam, it's bad. There are many men in black outside, searching everywhere, and the servants are trying their best to stop them."

"Madam, Miss Lin, please follow me immediately. Someone has already reported to the police!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu turned pale and looked at Lin Ruoxuan in panic: "Miss Lin, let's get out of the way for now, so that nothing can happen..."

Lin Ruoxuan calmly took Madam Wu's hand and smiled slightly, with calm confidence in her eyes: "Madam, don't panic. I am not unprepared today. Someone will come to help you later."

Her tone was calm and composed, and it was obvious that she was confident.

Sure enough, after a moment, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and several men in black were thrown in from outside the wall, fell heavily to the ground, and groaned in pain.

The fighting outside the house gradually subsided, and the housekeeper came in again, looking surprised and happy: "Madam, Miss Lin, these men in black have been subdued, and some of them are still alive!"

Lin Ruoxuan's expression turned cold, she nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Take these people to the prison in the mansion and keep them under strict guard until I send someone to interrogate them."

Mrs. Wu felt relieved when she saw this. She looked at Lin Ruoxuan with trust in her eyes and said, "Ms. Lin, thanks to you. If we hadn't helped, my Wu family would have been in great danger today."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly, flicked her sleeves casually, and got straight to business: "Mrs. Wu, saving Song Zhennan depends on your letter of reconciliation."

She paused and continued, "Since the storm has calmed down, I will not say any more. If you and I can reach a consensus today, it will be of great help in this matter."

Mrs. Wu nodded, knowing that there was no way out at this point.

She thought for a moment and said firmly: "Miss Lin, I will write a letter of reconciliation for Mr. Song, but my Wu family's affairs..."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry. Since I have already promised, I will not break my promise."

After a while, Mrs. Wu signed the settlement agreement, stamped it with the Wu family seal, and handed it to Lin Ruoxuan.

Two days later, an imperial edict arrived at the prison.

The content of the imperial edict was brief, but every word was powerful: "The male members of the Wu family can be spared the death penalty, but they cannot escape punishment while alive. They will be exiled to different places for different periods of time, depending on the severity of their crimes."

When the news reached the Wu Mansion, although Mrs. Wu was heartbroken, she was also relieved. At least her family's lives were safe and they had finally survived this disaster.

At the same time, the Song family also received a notice from the Jingzhao Yinfu, learning that Song Zhennan would be acquitted.

When Mr. Song and Mrs. Song heard the news, they were so excited that they almost burst into tears. After thanking them repeatedly, they prepared to personally welcome their son home.

The Song family suddenly became busy. Mrs. Song couldn't wait to order the servants to prepare the car and go, wishing to see the son she missed day and night as soon as possible.

When Song Yuqing and his brothers and sisters heard the news, their faces suddenly darkened. They looked at each other with a hint of uneasiness and displeasure in their eyes.

Song Zhennan's return means that they will lose control of the industries they have worked so hard to occupy these days, especially those profitable shops.

In the side hall of the Song family, Song Yuqing, Song Zhenhao, Song Zhenyu and Song Yuxin were sitting around the table. The atmosphere was solemn and cold.

Several people looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while, until Song Zhenhao sighed and lowered his voice and said, "The four of us have been tied to the same boat for a long time. Wu Qingfu's death was caused by the eldest sister's mistake, and in order to protect him, we decided to frame Zhennan together. Now he has been acquitted, and once we find out the clues, none of us can escape."

Song Yuqing frowned impatiently and said in a cold voice: "I have made all the arrangements earlier, and nothing should go wrong. But now not only has Zhennan returned, but those who went to assassinate Madam Wu and Miss Lin have also disappeared. I am afraid they have already failed, and there is no guarantee that they will not give us away-"

"I found those people." Song Zhenhao interrupted Song Yuqing, his eyes flickering with anxiety, and he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, "If something really happens, we will inevitably be tracked down. Besides, now that Zhennan is back, my father will definitely return all the shop and property to him, and our lives will get worse and worse..."

Song Yuqing smiled coldly, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "In this case, why not go all out and let the killer get rid of Zhennan. Just follow the previous plan and frame Lin Ruoqiao, making everyone think that she and Zhennan had an endless dispute over Wu Qingfu and attacked in anger. Then the two of them will kill each other and there will be no more trouble."

Song Yuxin, who was sitting nearby, turned pale when she heard this and gently advised, "Big sister, this is too much! Zhennan is our family after all. You are so cautious and put your brother to death. Aren't you afraid of retribution? Besides, Zhennan didn't know about it and has suffered enough. Why add insult to injury?"
