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

Soon, Gu Nanyuan walked into the Song family lobby, followed by a group of guards. He said nothing.

The whole hall suddenly became solemn due to Gu Nanyuan's arrival, and the air became a little heavier.

Mr. Song stood up in a hurry and bowed, "My Lord, you are here. May I ask if there is anything you need our cooperation with?"

Gu Nanyuan said calmly, "According to the investigation, Song Yuqing was in charge of the gold shop during the time when the fakes appeared. So as the person in charge of the gold shop, she needs to go back and assist in the investigation."

Mr. Song frowned slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally nodded: "Since the prince has done a thorough investigation, Yuqing will go back with you and cooperate in finding out the truth of the matter."

Song Yuqing was standing aside, and when she heard this, she almost collapsed.

She held the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her eyes were a little dazed, but she didn't say anything and followed Gu Nanyuan out silently.

Gu Nanyuan didn't say much, but just waved his hand gently, signaling the guards to leave with him.

After returning to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Song Yuqing stood in front of the hall, with his head lowered, too nervous to speak.

Gu Nanyuan instructed several guards to stand by, then looked at her, his tone still calm, "Sit down, since you have agreed to cooperate with the investigation, then tell us everything from beginning to end, and don't hide anything anymore."

Song Yuqing sat down slowly, his body trembling slightly.

She took a deep breath and finally spoke, "Here's what happened. A few months ago, I took over the management of the gold shop. Everything was going well, but then... Zhang Mo found me..."

Her voice was a little low, and she felt particularly heavy-hearted when she recalled the past.

Gu Nanyuan listened quietly, did not interrupt her, but motioned for her to continue.

"Zhang Mo said he had a reliable supplier who could provide gold bars and gold jewelry at a low price and good quality." Song Yuqing looked at Gu Nanyuan. "I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought he was thinking about me. Later, I signed the agreement and received the goods. I didn't expect that they were not genuine products at all, but low-quality fakes."

Gu Nanyuan was silent for a moment, then whispered: "So, Song Zhennan is innocent?"

"Yes," Song Yuqing nodded quickly, speaking earnestly, "Zhennan doesn't know about these things at all. He has been out playing and has never participated in the operation of the gold shop."

Gu Nanyuan didn't say anything else, but raised his hand to signal Qingji and Qingxiang to take people to find Zhang Mo.

At the same time, because Song Yuqing's confession could prove that these things had nothing to do with Song Zhennan, the male protagonist personally released Song Zhennan.

Qingji and Qingxiang quickly came to the Lin family.

Mr. Zhang sat at his desk with a slightly tired look in his eyes, but when he saw Qingji and Qingxiang coming, he quickly stood up, his expression changed slightly, and he bowed hastily.

"My lords, what do you want to talk to my family about?" Mr. Zhang's tone was full of doubt, but his face did not show too much panic.

Qingji and Qingxiang looked at each other, and Qingji spoke first: "Master Zhang, Master Zhang is involved in the fake goods case in the gold shop. We need him to cooperate with the investigation immediately. Could you please let Master Zhang come out and help us find out the truth of the matter?"

Mr. Zhang frowned slightly, a look of worry appeared on his face, "I really don't know where he went? He seems to have been busy with his own affairs recently and has not shown up in the mansion."

Qingji's expression remained unchanged, and he remained calm, "Master Zhang, if Master Zhang is really not in the mansion, we will have to do further investigation, and I hope you can cooperate."

Mr. Zhang didn't dare to resist and immediately agreed to let the two men search.

Qingji and Qingxiang searched Zhang's house but could not find Zhang Mo's whereabouts.

Qingxiang said directly: "If Mr. Zhang is really not here, we will go back first, and when he comes back, ask him to go to Jingzhao Yinfu immediately to cooperate with the investigation."

Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Please rest assured, my lords. I will immediately send someone to check Zhang Mo's whereabouts. As long as he comes back, I will immediately ask him to go to Jingzhao Yinfu to cooperate with the investigation."

Qingji nodded, and his tone softened a little: "Then I'll trouble you, Master Zhang."

Mr. Zhang watched the two guards leave, thinking secretly in his mind.

After the two men had completely left, he hurriedly asked his confidant to come in, "Go, find out where Zhang Mo is and tell him everything that happened. If he doesn't want to come back, take him to the Qiao family in Jiaozhou and make sure he is safe."

The confidant immediately bowed and responded, "Yes, sir."

At this time, Zhang Mo came to the Lin family, handed in a visiting card, and said that he hoped to meet Lin Ruoqiao.

After a while, someone came out to greet him, "Master Zhang, Miss Seven is waiting in the study, please follow me."

In the study, Lin Ruoqiao was flipping through a few books at the desk, and the wind outside the window gently swayed the beaded curtain.

When she looked up, her eyes met Zhang Mo's. She smiled slightly and waved politely: "Mr. Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Mo forced a smile, walked to her desk, and said hesitantly, "Seventh Miss, I'm sorry to come visit you. I really have something I want to explain to you in advance."

Lin Ruoqiao said gently: "Mr. Zhang, there is no need to be so polite. If you have something to say, just speak frankly."

Zhang Mo took a deep breath and finally spoke: "It's about Song Yuqing. For Zhennan, I did some irrational things."

He paused, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy. "I threatened Song Yuqing and told her that I knew the person who provided her with the fakes. If she didn't confess, I would take that person to Jingzhao Yinfu. My purpose was simple, I just wanted her to tell the truth and rescue Zhennan."

Lin Ruoqiao was touched when she heard this: "Mr. Zhang, you really shouldn't have done this. Although you are doing this for Zhennan's good, this has nothing to do with you. You don't have to get involved."

Zhang Mo smiled bitterly and lowered his head, with a bit of self-mockery in his eyes, "I know, but I'm already involved. I'm afraid Song Yuqing already holds a grudge against me. She won't let me go easily, and I guess she'll retaliate against me next."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. "But I don't regret it. At least I did my best."

Lin Ruoqiao was silent for a moment, then walked up to Zhang Mo with a gentle look in her eyes: "Master Zhang, you don't have to worry too much. If Song Yuqing really wants to retaliate against you, then she is wrong. As for that matter, it was personally tried by Prince Gu. He is an upright person and will never wrongly accuse a good person."

Zhang Mo had achieved the purpose of this trip, so he prepared to say goodbye: "Seventh Miss, I feel relieved when you say that. If you need my help, just come to the Zhang family to find me, and I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

Lin Ruoqiao was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Thank you, Master Zhang. If you need anything, I will definitely not be polite."

Zhang Mo finally stood up and bowed to say goodbye: "Then I will take my leave first."
