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

Lin Ruoxuan was silent for a while. Knowing Lin Ruoqiao's mood well, she stood up gently, walked to the window, and looked at the leaves slowly falling outside the window.

"Are you worrying too much about the future? Choose a path and walk it, then you will know whether it is suitable for you." She turned around, her tone clear and firm, "Love cannot be satisfied with just water. In addition to love, there are many more important things for people to live in this world."

"Seventh sister, your choice should be more realistic."

Lin Ruoqiao was a little confused, her eyes flickering, "But the Song family and the Zhang family have similar family backgrounds... I... I can't make a decision."

Lin Ruoxuan spoke slowly: "Seventh sister, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Zhang Mo will not treat you the same as before, or are you afraid that Song Zhennan's family can't bear your expectations of love?"

Her tone was gentle but full of power. "If you ask me, you don't have to be so anxious. Instead of worrying about how others treat you, you might as well ask yourself what you really want."

"No matter which one you choose, the most important thing is to choose someone who can make you feel at ease and who can give everything for you."

Lin Ruoqiao listened, still a little confused, "But, Ruoxuan, aren't you afraid? If Master Gu changes his mind like those men, or takes a concubine, can you accept it?"

There was calmness in Lin Ruoxuan's eyes. She smiled slightly without any hesitation.

"I love Nanyuan. Of course, I cannot completely rule out the possibility that he may change his mind, but I am ready to accept it all. If he really changes his mind, I can accept it. I accept that he may have other women, maybe concubines, but I believe that he will not abandon me."

She lowered her head and said calmly, "I will also do what I should do, take care of my heart, take care of the affairs of the Gu family, and do it impeccably."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoqiao was stunned.

Her eyes were instantly attracted by Lin Ruoxuan's calmness, and a complicated expression appeared on her face, "You... you can be so calm, without any worries at all? No matter what happens in the future?"

Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

The interrogation room was dimly lit, with only a single lamp emitting a faint flickering light.

Gu Nanyuan sat at the table, his expression stern and his eyes sharp.

Sitting opposite him was Song Zhennan.

"Song Zhennan." Gu Nanyuan's deep voice broke the silence in the room, "Can you tell me the truth yourself, or are you going to continue hiding it?"

Song Zhennan raised his head, his eyes wandering. He knew very well how powerful Gu Nanyuan was. Once the other party was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, it would be meaningless for him to hide it.

He hesitated for a moment, feeling torn between his own conscience and his own desires.

Song Yuqing is his sister. No matter what, he couldn't bear to let her go through all this.

However, if he continued to take the blame for her, he would not be able to escape, and might even be convicted of harboring a criminal, ruining his future.

Gu Nanyuan looked at him coldly, his tone not softening at all, "If you insist on taking the blame for Song Yuqing, I won't stop you. But I want to tell you, no matter what you choose, I will find out everything."

"Think it over carefully. If you decide to conceal it, you will bear all the consequences."

Song Zhennan gritted his teeth, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I don't know much, but... after the gold shop got into trouble, my father handed it over to my eldest sister to manage. A few days ago, my eldest sister came to me and said that she couldn't bear to see me idle all day, so she offered to return the gold shop to me. She said that if I took over the gold shop, she would feel more at ease."

Gu Nanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You took over the gold shop, but where are the account books? Have you seen the purchase records and transaction records?"

Song Zhennan shook his head, his face pale. "No. Because I took over in a hurry, I didn't have time to check the account books and the goods in and out, and I was arrested. I only know that the operation of the gold shop has been fine before."

Gu Nanyuan's voice was low and calm: "Song Zhennan, if you don't want to be implicated, you'd better not change your words again."

Song Zhennan's body shook slightly and he looked up at Gu Nanyuan.

At that moment, panic and anxiety flashed in his eyes, and there was an inexplicable pressure oppressing him.

"I...I won't change my words."

Gu Nanyuan smiled coldly and walked towards him slowly. "You must remember that every word you say now is your promise. If you dare to change your confession, you should know the consequences."

Song Zhennan nodded.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Nanyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Then, his tone suddenly calmed down, "Seventh Miss is very worried about you."

He paused and observed Song Zhennan's reaction. "She doesn't want you to be ruined because of this. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the Seventh Girl."

When Song Zhennan heard this, his originally tense expression instantly relaxed. His eyes flickered, showing some surprise and complexity.

"Seventh Miss... is she worried about me?" His voice was low, as if he was talking to himself, and full of shock.

Seeing this, Gu Nanyuan sneered slightly and glanced at Song Zhennan's face, "She is worried about you, especially when you are in such a difficult situation. If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about her."

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Song Zhennan's heart.

"I...I know."

He paused, then suddenly lowered his head, his voice becoming firm, "Since Miss Seven said so, I will tell you everything I know."

Chapter 357

Song family.

Three stewards entered the room. They all had complicated and hesitant expressions, and some did not dare to look directly at the two masters.

Mr. Song looked up. Although there was no expression on his face, the sharpness in his eyes made the three of them tremble slightly.

"Master, Madam." The steward spoke carefully, his tone full of hesitation, "We have already investigated according to your instructions, regarding the purchase and suppliers of the gold shop..."

He paused, choosing his words, before continuing, "We didn't find any problems with the supplier. On paper, everything is clear."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song's expression relaxed a little, and a faint hope flashed in her eyes, but she was not completely relaxed.

"Then...what's the problem?" She asked in an urgent tone, her hands unconsciously clutching her lapels tightly.

The chief steward hesitated for a moment and continued, "The problem is... the batch of goods with problems was probably sourced from other suppliers. We investigated every link in the supply chain and found nothing abnormal. However, the purchase record of that batch of goods... was not within our normal channels."

A cold light flashed in Master Song's eyes. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and said in a cold voice, "So what you mean is that the gold ornaments that were in trouble were supplied by a private supplier from outside?"

"This is a huge problem, involving illegal channels, even theft and stolen goods."
