Inside the Song residence, the news that the Lin family had brought the seventh girl back home came like a thunderclap, instantly causing an uproar.

When Mr. Song and Mrs. Song heard the news, they were furious and immediately ordered people to prepare a sedan chair and head straight to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

In the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, when Master Song saw the Jingzhao Yin, he angrily rebuked him, "Sir, the Lin family took the Seventh Miss back without any evidence, but my son is still in prison. Isn't this officials protecting each other? If you can't give me an explanation, I will definitely beat the drum and go to the capital to file a complaint!"

Jingzhao Yin was not surprised to see Master Song's aggressive attitude. He just smiled calmly and said, "If Master Song doesn't believe it, you might as well take a look at the confession written by Master Song. As for how to deal with it, you might as well consider it yourself."

After saying that, he took out a confession from his sleeve and handed it to Mr. Song.

Mr. Song took it and looked at it carefully. He saw that it clearly stated that Song Zhennan admitted that he was the murderer and was willing to take the blame alone to ensure that Lin Ruoqiao was released from prison. Every word was full of determination.

As soon as Mrs. Song took a look at the confession letter, she became so angry that she trembled all over, her vision went black, and finally she collapsed on the ground.

Mr. Song supported his wife and looked at the handwriting in the confession. His eyes were red and his fingers were shaking slightly. Finally, he snorted coldly, threw the confession on the table, and said with gritted teeth: "Rebellious son! He actually went to jail for a woman. How shameful!"

Jingzhao Yin remained calm and said slowly, "Master Song, since Young Master Song has pleaded guilty, I will deal with him impartially according to the law. If the Song family has no objection, this case will come to an end."

Mr. Song gave the Jingzhao Yin a cold look, then turned around and left with his wife, his steps heavy.

Although Mr. Song left angrily and his words were full of disappointment, after returning to the Song Mansion, his anger turned into endless heartache.

He knew very well in his heart that Song Zhennan confessed his guilt only to save Lin Ruoqiao, but he was his own flesh and blood after all, how could he bear to let him die alone?

Mrs. Song saw that Master Song had been silent since he returned to the mansion. He seemed to have aged even more due to his worries. She stepped forward and whispered, "Master, Zhennan... He has been kind since he was a child. He would never do such a ridiculous thing. Now that he is imprisoned, I am afraid he is trapped in a desperate situation and has no way out... We can't just ignore him like this."

Mr. Song sighed heavily, and after a moment, he finally made up his mind and said, "Since he took the blame for Miss Lin Qi, then the Lin family or the Gu family must know the inside story."

"Now, the Seventh Miss has been safely taken back by the Lin family, but my son is in dire straits. Is this their kindness? They want to protect the Seventh Miss and abandon my son. I will never admit this!"

There was a hint of determination in his tone, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Then he ordered: "Go prepare five boxes, put all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in them. When everything is ready, send it to the Lin Mansion in person, and I will go and beg them in person. As long as the Lin family still has a trace of gratitude, they should save my son!"

After hearing this, although Mrs. Song was very worried, she hurriedly ordered the servants to collect all the precious things in the house, pack them into boxes, and carry them to the front hall.

Soon, five large boxes were piled in the hall. When the lids were slightly opened, jewels and treasures overflowed, illuminating the entire room.

Mrs. Song looked at these beloved things, and now she was giving them all away. Although there was reluctance in her eyes, there was more prayer.

"These gold, silver and jewelry are just external things. As long as the Lin family is willing to help and save Zhennan's life, we are willing to offer these treasures."

Mrs. Song nodded and whispered with a glimmer of hope: "As long as the Lin family has feelings and loyalty, they will never watch Zhennan die. Master, you must save him this time."

Master Song nodded slightly, feeling a little uneasy, but without any hesitation, he ordered the servants to lift the boxes and get ready to go.

At this time, Song Yuqing was embroidering in her room. Suddenly, the maid beside her hurried in and whispered in a panic, "Young lady, it's bad! After the master and the mistress learned that the seventh young lady was taken back by the Lin family, they were planning to take the gold, silver and jewelry to ask the Lin family to save the young master!"

When Song Yuqing heard this, the needle in his hand stopped moving and his expression changed slightly: "What did you say? Father and mother are going to ask the Lin family for help?!"

She put down her embroidery in disbelief, and immediately stood up, with a hint of anxiety and coldness in her eyes.

She immediately ordered: "Quick, call your brothers and sisters to go to the front hall immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the front hall.

When Song Yuqing arrived, he just heard his mother sighing softly, "Since we have to go to the Lin family to ask for help, why don't you, Yuqing and I go together to show that our Song family is wholeheartedly pleading for Zhennan, so that the Lin family won't reject us."

Hearing this, Song Yuqing sneered and walked up to the two of them and said, "Father, mother, even if we send these valuables to the Lin family, they may not be able to save my brother."

"It's already the limit for the Lin family to be able to save the seventh girl. How can you expect them to stand up for Zhennan? Zhennan has already pleaded guilty. I'm afraid that neither the Lin family nor the Gu family can do anything about this matter."

Mr. Song and Mrs. Song were both stunned and looked at their daughter in shock, unable to believe her indifference.

Master Song frowned and said, "Yuqing, Zhennan confessed his crime in prison to keep Miss Seven safe. He confessed voluntarily because he had no choice. Why are you so indifferent and willing to watch him die?"

Song Yuqing lowered his head slightly and said calmly, "Father, mother, since Zhennan has confessed his guilt, it means he is ready to bear the consequences. Moreover, if you kill someone, you must pay for your life. Since Zhennan did something wrong, he must pay the price. This is his explanation to society."

Just as he finished speaking, Song Zhenhao, Song Zhenyu and several other brothers and sisters arrived one after another. When they heard that their parents were going to ask the Lin family for help, they all showed surprised expressions and did not quite agree.

Song Zhenhao stepped forward and advised: "Father, mother, since Zhennan has already confessed his guilt, why bother asking the Lin family for help? It's not that we don't care about the relationship between brothers and sisters, but since Zhennan has done something wrong, he should bear the consequences. Why bother bringing this trouble to the Lin and Gu families?"

Song Zhenyu also nodded in agreement, and said coldly: "Father, Mother, we can't let the entire Song family take risks for Zhennan? Even if the Lin family and the Gu family are willing to help, I'm afraid they can't change the situation."

Mr. Song and Mrs. Song listened to their children's words, their hearts filled with sadness, and their eyes were filled with disappointment and anger.

They couldn't believe that the children who spoke so coldly of "responsibility" and "price" in front of them were actually their own flesh and blood.

Mrs. Song wiped her tears in anger, looked at the children coldly, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you so cold-blooded and heartless? Zhennan is your brother, and now he is in prison, and no one is willing to say a word for him?"

Song Zhenhao and Song Yuqing looked calm, looked at each other, and said with their heads down: "Mother, we are not heartless, we just recognize the facts."

Master Song's eyes were filled with anger. He snorted coldly and said no more: "If Yuqing and Zhenhao don't want to go with us, then fine. We will go to the Lin family to plead for mercy. I think the Lin family still has some loyalty and will never be as heartless and ungrateful as you guys!"

After saying this, he took Mrs. Song's arm, took the five boxes of valuables he had prepared, ignored his other children, and walked straight out of the main hall to the Lin family.
