Gu Nanyuan and Lin Ruoxuan returned to their room. The light shone through the window paper onto the ground, lengthening their shadows.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance, it was the sandalwood that Lin Ruoxuan liked, soothing her tired heart.

Lin Ruoxuan sat in front of the bed, gently stroking the teacup in her hand with a gentle look.

Gu Nanyuan stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back, staring at the quiet night scene outside, as if thinking about something.

Lin Ruoxuan gently put down the teacup, stood up, and walked to his side: "Nanyuan, I know you have your principles and are always decisive in doing things. But have you ever thought that the more extreme you handle the affairs of the Sun family, the more trouble you will bring to yourself."

Gu Nanyuan turned his head slightly, his eyes were a little cold, but still that familiar calmness, "The Sun family has been doing wrong things. People like them will hurt themselves sooner or later if they are too lenient. Don't you understand? If we don't sanction them, others will think we are easy to bully."

Lin Ruoxuan lowered her head, sighed softly, and her eyes softened a little.

"I'm not asking you to let them go, nor am I asking you to be soft-hearted. I just feel that if we deal with them too harshly, the entire Zhenguo Mansion might be dragged into it. Our relationship with the third and sixth houses is already delicate. Have you ever thought about it? We will see each other every day in the future, and it is impossible for things to remain so awkward forever."

Gu Nanyuan's expression eased a little, but he still refused to give in.

He looked into Lin Ruoxuan's eyes and said, "Ruoxuan, this is a warning, not only to Sun Che, but also to everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion. I want to tell them that no one can mess with you. You also know what kind of people they are. If I don't teach them a lesson, how can I warn others?"

Lin Ruoxuan knew that what Gu Nanyuan said was the truth, but she was still worried: "Nanyuan, don't forget, we are also part of the family."

Gu Nanyuan was silent for a while, looking out the window, seeming a little hesitant.

He knew very well that what Lin Ruoxuan said made sense, but he really found it difficult to let go of the obsession in his heart.

"Tough measures can certainly deter the enemy, but if you keep acting like this, everyone will be afraid of you, but they will also stay away from you."

Lin Ruoxuan sighed softly, "You are a smart person, I believe you know how to balance this issue."

Gu Nanyuan lowered his head and looked at Lin Ruoxuan's fingertips tightly holding his hand, and his heart moved.

Finally he agreed: "Okay, I will consider it later."

Lin Ruoxuan showed a look of relief on her face, and she nodded gently, "Thank you, Nanyuan."

The next morning, Lin Ruoxuan was still in her sleep. She was very tired from what happened last night. She barely opened her eyes until the morning light shone into the house through the window.

She moved slightly, stretching her body, and heard Luqiao's gentle knock on the door.

"Madam, wake up. Miss Seven has sent a letter." Luqiao's voice was clear and soft, with a hint of anxiety. "She is waiting in the restaurant, eager to see you. She said she has something important to tell you."

Lin Ruoxuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the sunlight coming in from the window, but her heart was not too moved.

She was indeed very tired last night, but she also knew that some things could not be avoided.

She nodded and motioned Luqiao to help her prepare for washing and dressing.

After a simple wash, Lin Ruoxuan put on a light blue chiffon dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps. There was a hint of fatigue between her brows, but she remained calm and elegant.

When she reached the door, Luqiao had already prepared the carriage and was waiting outside the yard.

The two of them didn't say much along the way. The bells of the carriage rang crisply, and the scenery outside the window kept receding. Lin Ruoxuan felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Lin Ruoqiao came to see her, there must be something going on.

The restaurant's hall was bustling with people, and many diners were enjoying delicious food amid laughter and chatter.

After Lin Ruoxuan entered the private room, she saw Lin Ruoqiao waiting there, looking anxious.

"Seventh sister." Lin Ruoxuan walked forward and smiled slightly, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Lin Ruoqiao stood up to greet him, forcing a smile on her face, but her eyes could not hide the worry.

The two of them sat down, tea was served, and Luqiao respectfully stepped back, leaving space for them to talk.

"Ruoxuan, this is a big deal." Lin Ruoqiao lowered her voice and looked around. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she brought the topic to the point, "You know the Song family, right? Song Zhennan...something happened."

Lin Ruoxuan's heart tightened. She looked up at Miss Seven with a frown on her face. "Something happened to the Song family? What happened?"

Lin Ruoqiao's face was filled with anxiety. She whispered, "Song Zhennan was previously in charge of the Song Family Gold Shop, but recently the brothers and sisters in the family competed for interests, and the management rights of the shop were divided up. As a result, the Song Family Gold Shop sold fake goods, and the customers reported it to the authorities after discovering it. The worst thing is that in order to shirk responsibility, Song Yuqing pushed all the responsibility onto Song Zhennan, and he was arrested by the government!"

Lin Ruoxuan was shocked when she heard this. Although she didn't care about the Song family in particular, she knew that Song Zhennan was a capable man and she didn't expect that he would fall into such a predicament.

She slowly put down the teacup and thought for a moment before speaking: "This incident should be caused by the internal strife of the Song family. It is not appropriate for us to interfere in the internal affairs of the family. As for Song Zhennan...if he is really guilty, I am afraid we can only deal with him according to the law, and we cannot take the blame for them."

She paused, and looked at Seventh Miss with a somewhat calm look in her eyes, "Seventh Sister, it is not easy for us to interfere in this matter. Unless there is a commission from the Song family, we can only be spectators and cannot intervene."

Lin Ruoqiao was silent for a moment, lowered her head, and looked a little disappointed, but she obviously understood what Lin Ruoxuan meant.

She understood that there was no emotion in these words, but more of a rational decision.

"Ruoxuan, I understand." Lin Ruoqiao looked up at Lin Ruoxuan, a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and then he sighed.

Lin Ruoxuan smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone: "In this world, sometimes we have to see the pros and cons of doing things. We are not gods and cannot always save everyone. Something happened to the Song family. It was a problem within their family. We can only try our best not to let it affect us. As for whether to help, it depends on how they decide."

Lin Ruoqiao lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Ruoqiao nodded reluctantly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Lin Ruoxuan stood up and smiled calmly: "Don't worry too much. It's fate that will happen to Mr. Song. All we can do is to be ourselves."

Then she stood up, turned around and left the restaurant.

After Lin Ruoqiao left the restaurant, she still couldn't calm down.

Although Lin Ruoxuan's words were cool and rational, she still couldn't suppress her worry about Song Zhennan.

She found it hard to let it go, especially now that the Song family was in trouble due to internal strife, and she was not sure what Song Zhennan's fate would be.

The Song family's affairs are obviously complicated and difficult. Lin Ruoqiao couldn't help but have a question in her mind: Will the Song family really sacrifice Song Zhennan in order to protect other children?

She didn't dare to believe it easily, but she couldn't ignore the possibility.

She knew that if things really came to that point, she should stand on Song Zhennan's side and do her bit to help. Even if it was just supporting him from behind, it would prevent her from feeling too guilty.

Her first reaction was to find Zhang Mo.

The only person she can find now is Zhang Mo, and the Zhang family has considerable influence, and he also has some friendship with the Song family.

If one wants to find out the true thoughts within the Song family, Zhang Mo is the most suitable person.
