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

As Lin Ruoqiao walked, she secretly thought about how to start the conversation.

Zhang Mo has always had some feelings for her, and although she knows it in her heart, she has never responded clearly.

This request for help may cause him some misunderstanding.

She sighed, but the worry in her heart made her unable to hold back, and finally she decided to go see him.

The Zhang family’s mansion is located in the south of the city. The courtyard is full of lush flowers and trees and the scenery is picturesque.

When Lin Ruoqiao arrived, Zhang Mo was standing in the courtyard practicing swordplay. The sword shone with a cold light, and the sword almost flashed with a cold light.

Seeing Lin Ruoqiao appear, Zhang Mo immediately stopped what he was doing and walked quickly towards her.

"Seventh Miss, why are you here?" Zhang Mo smiled slightly, with a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes.

Lin Ruoqiao smiled slightly, but felt a little nervous.

She walked slowly into the yard and said softly, "Mr. Zhang, I came to see you today because I have some personal matters that I would like to ask for your help."

Zhang Mo extended his hand and invited her to sit down. Although he was a little confused, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he handed her a cup of tea and said, "Seventh Miss, if you have anything to say, just ask."

Lin Ruoqiao took the tea, took a sip, and then looked at him with some hesitation in her eyes: "It's about the Song family... Mr. Song."

Zhang Mo was slightly stunned, with a subtle emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Something happened to the Song family, and Zhennan is unlucky. But Miss Seven, I don't know much about the divisions within the Song family. This kind of family infighting is always complicated."

Lin Ruoqiao sighed softly, with a little helplessness in her eyes: "I know, but I still want to know. Can you find out what the Song family really thinks? Will they sacrifice Young Master Song to save other children?"

Zhang Mo's eyes sank slightly, and he looked at Lin Ruoqiao, as if testing her attitude.

After a moment, he whispered, "Seventh Miss, are you asking us to find out the inside story of the Song family?"

Lin Ruoqiao nodded and said softly, "I know this is a little inappropriate, but Mr. Song is a friend I have always cared about. If the Song family really wants to sacrifice him, I can't help but feel sorry for him. Moreover, since you have some friendship with the Song family, it is always reasonable to help find out."

Zhang Mo frowned slightly, his feelings for Lin Ruoqiao growing stronger, but he was also shocked by her request.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Seventh Miss, I didn't expect you to ask me for help for Zhennan. You know, such a request is really difficult for me."

Lin Ruoqiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something.

She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "You don't want to, right? If you find it difficult, I understand."

Zhang Mo did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment, with the struggle and pain in his eyes deepening.

Finally, he sighed deeply and whispered, "Seventh Miss, I am very sad that you did this."

Lin Ruoqiao raised her head and looked at him suspiciously: "Sad?"

Zhang Mo's eyes gradually softened, but also carried a hint of bitterness: "You have to know, Miss Seven, I have never concealed my feelings for you. But you came to me today for another man... How can I not feel heartbroken?"

Lin Ruoqiao was shocked and stood there in a daze.

After a moment of daze, she sighed softly and said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, I have always regarded you as a friend. I am sorry if my unintentional behavior caused you to misunderstand. But you should know that without your help, I would not be able to understand Mr. Song's affairs."

Zhang Mo was silent for a while after hearing this, and his eyes softened a lot: "It's not your fault that I like you, Miss Seven. It's your shining point that attracts me so much."

In the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, the night is slightly cool, the candlelight in the house is soft, and a hint of warmth can be seen in the silence.

Lin Ruoxuan was sitting at the desk. The cup of tea on the table had already gone cold, showing her anxiety.

She waited quietly, looking towards the door from time to time, her thoughts flying.

Not long after, Gu Nanyuan finished his official business and returned to his room.

I saw her sitting there thoughtfully, with a hint of worry between her brows.

Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but walk closer and asked softly, "Ruoxuan, what's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her head and saw him, feeling a little more relaxed, but her tone was still filled with worry: "Nanyuan, do you have any news about Song Zhennan?"

Gu Nanyuan frowned slightly, having expected her to be concerned about this matter. He sat down next to her and said in a clear voice, "The situation is not optimistic."

"The operation of a gold shop has always required caution, not to mention that the fake goods incident has caused a lot of uproar in the city. Given the current situation of the Song family, I am afraid they will choose to sacrifice Song Zhennan to calm down the storm. Otherwise, if the storm continues, not only Song Zhennan, but the entire Song family will find it difficult to escape unscathed."

After listening to this, Lin Ruoxuan frowned slightly, lowered her head in thought, and couldn't help feeling some complicated emotions in her heart.

Although her friendship with Song Zhennan was not very deep, they were not strangers either, and he had always been steady and reliable. Lin Ruoqiao had some feelings for him, but now he was involved in the family infighting, and she couldn't help feeling regretful.

Gu Nanyuan saw her hesitation, gently held her hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Ruoxuan, since things have come to this point, there must be something wrong with the Song family. If the Song family is unwilling to solve the problem themselves, it will be useless for us to intervene."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded gently and asked in a low voice: "But if the Song family really sacrifices Song Zhennan, his future prospects... will probably be ruined."

Gu Nanyuan looked at her with comfort in his eyes, "I know you are worried, but the complexity behind this matter is far from a simple family infighting. Now even the fake goods incident has been reported to the government, involving the integrity of business transactions. If it is not handled properly, it will indeed shake the foundation of the Song family. Tomorrow I will meet with Song Zhennan in person to understand the ins and outs of the matter and find out whether it is really his responsibility."

Lin Ruoxuan was slightly startled, and asked with some hesitation: "Then...if you find that Song Zhennan is not at fault, will you fight for some opportunities for him?"

Gu Nanyuan nodded, his expression firm. "If it is really a misunderstanding, I will clear it up for him in court and will never let him suffer innocently. But if the situation is not good, and the Song family decides to sacrifice him, we others cannot change it. As for the fake goods incident, if the situation continues to ferment, the case may very likely be transferred to me. At that time, I will naturally handle it impartially."

Hearing him say this, Lin Ruoxuan's worries were slightly relieved, but she couldn't help but sigh softly: "You know I'm worried about you. The Song family is involved in many things. I'm afraid this matter will put you in a dilemma."

Gu Nanyuan smiled when he heard this, "Ruoxuan, you know me well. I have always kept my public and private affairs separate, and I will never let personal feelings interfere with my official duties. If this matter really falls into my hands, I will handle it impartially, and you don't have to worry about me being constrained by it."

Lin Ruoxuan felt a little relieved after listening to his words. She knew that Gu Nanyuan always kept his word and adhered to principles, and she naturally trusted him.

She leaned gently on his shoulder, her voice soft but full of dependence: "Nanyuan, thank you. I hope this matter can be resolved smoothly, and I hope Song Zhennan can get through it safely."
