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

Sun Rong sighed softly, her eyes helpless: "I also want to arrange his marriage as soon as possible, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed. If I choose the wrong person, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future."

"I have always trusted my mother's vision in selecting people." Lin Ruoxuan slowly put down her teacup. "And Seventh Sister's marriage should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible. I don't think the Song family or the Zhang family are suitable. Although they have rich family backgrounds, they are from merchants after all. I'm afraid they are not a good match for our family."

Sun Rong frowned and thought for a while, then said softly, "You are right. I originally wanted to look at other families, but some people from aristocratic families may not be willing to marry into our family, which makes me a little worried."

Lin Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes firm, "Mother, don't rush to draw conclusions. Although aristocratic families value rules, they also value interests. As long as we are sincere, we can always find the right person. Seventh sister is smart and dignified, and she deserves someone with good character and family background."

She changed the subject and her voice was calm: "However, the most important thing now is not these, but to stabilize the situation at home first. I am very relieved about your arrangements."

Sun Rong listened to her daughter's analysis, and the uneasiness between her brows dissipated a little. Then she sighed and said, "Ruoxuan, family matters are easy to deal with, but I am worried about you and Ruoxue's situation. Being someone else's daughter-in-law is not easy, and now that such a scandal has occurred at home, how can the in-laws let it go easily? Those words are chilling to hear."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled faintly: "Mother, don't worry about us. My elder sister and I have long been accustomed to the various things in my husband's family. Besides, there are some things that we sisters have to go through on our own."

Sun Rong's eyes dimmed, and she held Lin Ruoxuan's hand, her tone revealing reluctance: "But you are my daughters after all. I just hope you can suffer less grievances."

At this time, Song Zhennan, dressed in a green robe, looked gentle and elegant. After entering the door, he bowed and smiled and said, "There have been some rumors about the Lin family recently. I was worried that Miss Seven was wronged, so I came here to take a look."

Zhang Mo followed closely behind, wearing a dark green brocade robe, looking elegant and graceful.

He said unwillingly, "Brother Zhennan is right. I have also heard these false rumors. I am really worried about Miss Seven. I wonder how she is doing these days."

The two men stood one in front and one behind, their eyes all fell on Lin Ruoqiao, their eyes full of earnestness.

Lin Ruoqiao stood in the hall with a calm expression, nodding slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, gentlemen. I am fine. I am busy with family affairs and I really don't want to trouble you to worry about me."

Song Zhennan smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Seventh Miss, why are you so distant? I am really interested in you, and the gossips from the outside world are just passing wind. I don't take them to heart at all."

Zhang Mo stepped forward and said anxiously, "Brother Zhennan, what you said is just right! What's so important about those rumors? Miss Seven's character and talents are the most valuable. I value Miss herself more and will never change a bit because of rumors from the outside world."

Lin Ruoxuan sat quietly at the side, her eyes swept over the two of them, and some doubts arose in her heart.

She lowered her eyelids, gently stroking the teacup with her fingertips, thinking in her heart: These two are so eager to be the first, and they are too attentive to Lin Ruoqiao. Is it really because of sincerity? Or is it because they are attracted by the family background and resources behind it?

Lin Ruoqiao's expression gradually became stiff. Although she had a smile on her face, there was a hint of alienation in her eyes.

She whispered, "I appreciate the kindness of the two gentlemen, but the Lin family does have some things to deal with recently, so I really can't keep you here any longer."

Song Zhennan's expression changed slightly: "Seventh Miss, if there is anything you need help with, just let me know, I will do my best."

Zhang Mo immediately agreed, "That's right! If you need anything, just let me know. Although I'm not very capable, I have some friends in Beijing, and I will never let Miss Seven suffer any loss."

Lin Ruoqiao raised her eyes to look at the two of them, and then said softly: "Thank you, gentlemen. It's just a family matter. My family and I can handle it ourselves, so I won't bother you with any more trouble."

Outside the Lin family's gate, Song Zhennan and Zhang Mo walked out of the gate and stopped in front of the steps.

Zhang Mo spoke first, his tone full of sarcasm: "Mr. Song is really free. As the eldest son of the Song family, he is willing to condescend to care about a girl from the Lin family with a tainted reputation. Speaking of which, your Song family has always prided itself on being noble. Aren't you afraid that the elders in your family will find out and punish you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors?"

Song Zhennan heard this, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Mr. Zhang is really eloquent, but unfortunately, I have always done things in an upright manner, and I don't need others to point fingers at me. On the contrary, the Zhang family, whose merchant status is obviously not as good as the Song family, dares to dream of becoming the first choice of the Lin family. Isn't it a bit wishful thinking?"

Zhang Mo snorted coldly, his eyes challenging: "Mr. Song thinks he is superior to others, but it's a pity that you can't even be the head of the Song family. Don't you know how your parents think of the Lin family? Don't think that you can win Miss Lin's heart by showing affection."

Song Zhennan's eyes darkened, and his tone was no longer gentle: "Mr. Zhang, since you know that I can't make the decision, then you should also understand that if the Lin family really wants to choose a marriage, they will never look at your Zhang family. Although the Zhang family has some status in the business world, it is still far behind the Song family. What's more, what are your chances of winning, Zhang Mo?"

Zhang Mo sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "Chances of winning? Song Zhennan, you overestimate yourself. Although I, Zhang Mo, come from a merchant family, my parents love me and are willing to fight for me with all their strength. What about you? Will the Song family really put aside their self-righteousness for you?"

He paused, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Without saying anything else, I will immediately ask my parents to come to the Lin family to propose marriage, so that you, Song Zhennan, will never have a chance again!"

Inside the main hall of the Zhang family, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang sat upright, both looking unhappy.

Madam Zhang frowned, her tone full of confusion: "Are you crazy? The Lin family has such a scandal, it has become a joke in the capital, and you still want to marry their seventh daughter? Do you know what this means to the reputation of our Zhang family?"

Mr. Zhang also snorted coldly and said in a reprimanding tone: "The Lin family is now in disgrace. If you propose marriage at this time, aren't you lowering your status? Although our Zhang family is a merchant family, we have to be a little respectable! I think this marriage is impossible."

Zhang Mo was not flustered at all, and his expression was calm: "Father, Mother, I did not come up with this idea impulsively, but after careful consideration. Have you ever thought about it carefully? Although the Lin family's reputation has been damaged, their family background is still beyond the reach of our Zhang family."
