Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Alua could no longer hold back, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. At first, she cried silently, then she sobbed softly, and finally she burst into tears.

People passing by on the street knew Alua and cast wary glances at Song Zhi.

Song Zhi was embarrassed. He quickly explained and pulled Aluan to the river outside the city.

The two sat side by side under the willow tree by the river. Alua had cried enough and wiped her dirty face with her sleeve.

"Are you secretly laughing at me in your heart?"

Song Zhi said, "Why should I laugh at you? Even though you and Aunt Xie are not related by blood, she can still take such good care of you. But my blood relatives treat me like dirt. I envy you."

Ah Luan didn't expect Song Zhi to say that. She blinked, looking confused. "Will I still be unhappy even if I have a mother?"

"Not every parent in the world loves their children. In many cases, it's worse than nothing. So you're really lucky to have met Aunt Xie."

Thinking of the Sun family who was staying at the charity cemetery, Song Zhi looked into his eyes.

Life is not a short time, and she will have the love of many people. Everything in this world is fair. What you have less than others may always be compensated in another way.

The two sat by the river looking at each other, the breeze blew by, and the relationship between them seemed to become a little closer.

"Thank you for telling me this." Alua's ears were red, and she showed a rare shyness of a girl.

Song Zhi touched her head and said, "I'm glad you figured it out. It's getting late, let's go back."

She stood up and brushed the weeds off her clothes, then pulled A-luan up.

The two walked back side by side. As soon as they entered the city, they heard groups of women standing on the street talking about the new faces that had just entered the city.

"That young man is really handsome, and the horse he rides is obviously worth a lot of money."

"Yes, the clothes he wears must belong to soldiers coming off the battlefield."

"No, no, he looks so impressive to me, he should be a young general."

This town is not big and everyone knows each other. When they suddenly see a new face, they can't help but gather around curiously.

Realizing that the person they were talking about was probably Song Chenfeng, Song Zhi said to A Luan, "You go back first. I'll go to the charity cemetery."

Aluan walked away with her head held high like a little adult. Song Zhi did not delay and went straight to the charity cemetery.

It is called a charity cemetery, but in fact it is just a row of tiled houses at the back of the town.

There is only one coffin keeper here, and there is no other coffin parked in the entire tile-roofed house except Sun's.

After entering the charity cemetery, she heard her brother's grief-stricken cry, "Mother, I am unfilial. I am late."

Song Zhiben hadn't seen his brother for a long time and couldn't wait to see him.

After hearing these words, he retreated silently.

To be fair, Sun was good to Song Chenfeng. She would not let Song Chenfeng give in to Song Yale unconditionally, nor would she favor Song Yale in everything between him and Song Yale.

So you see, it’s not that Sun doesn’t know how to treat everyone equally, she just doesn’t want to do so for her own sake.

Song Zhi was too lazy to stay here and turned around to leave.

Song Chenfeng's choked voice came from behind, "Sister."

Song Zhi paused, turned around and saw Song Chenfeng with tears on his face.

He was very tall, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Song Zhi's, but his features had a more masculine firmness.

He was wearing a dark red military uniform, his skin was tanned, and he looked healthy and capable.

Song Zhi felt a pang of pain in his heart and tears came to his eyes.

These tears were not for Sun, but they flowed subconsciously because of seeing Song Chenfeng again.

In her previous life, she heard that he was stabbed to pieces while standing in front to protect Song Yang and Sun.

It is not easy for them to meet safely in this life.

Song Chenfeng opened his arms, and Song Zhi threw himself into his arms just like when they were little.

"Brother, you are finally back."

"I'm back. I will protect you from now on."

Song Chenfeng had probably heard about some of the things that happened in the capital, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Song Zhi nodded with red eyes.

Knowing that the charity cemetery was not a place for reminiscing about the past, Song Chenfeng looked at Song Zhi hesitantly and said tentatively, "Sister, since you are here, why don't we cremate mother and bring her back to the capital together? She has hardly ever been far away. She must be very scared if she is buried here alone."

When this was mentioned, Song Zhi's voice instantly turned cold. "She has nothing to do with me. I have no obligation to do this."

After saying that, he stood up and took a step back. "You go ahead and do your work. When you're done, you can come find me at Nianyang Inn. Dad is there too."

Looking at Song Zhi's resolute back as she left, Song Chenfeng wanted to call her, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He knew that his mother was really bad to his sister, and it was normal for his sister to resist.

He did not force it and handled Sun's funeral affairs silently by himself.

Finally, he came to Nianyang Inn with an urn.

When he reached the door, he saw a group of people sitting around a table inside, lively and bustling.

Sitting next to my sister was a lively old man, and next to him was a little boy, no, it seemed to be a little girl.

And a middle-aged man and woman looking at each other lovingly.

The woman was wearing a veil with only her eyes showing, but one could tell she was a beautiful woman with a lingering charm.

He was very familiar with the man, he was the dad who looked like he had a very worthless smile.

Song Chenfeng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. His mother had just passed away, and he was already so impatient to find a remarriage.

With a dry cough, he walked in.

The moment he saw Song Chenfeng, Song Yang was very excited, "Son, you're back!"

Song Chenfeng obviously missed his family, but when he thought of Song Yang's expression just now, he uttered an unhappy sound, "Hmm."

Song Zhi saw what Song Chenfeng was thinking and said unhappily, "Dad just came back from a near-death experience, who are you crying for?"

After hearing this, Song Chenfeng remembered that his father almost died at the hands of the Sun family.

He immediately felt annoyed with his attitude. He put Sun's ashes aside and knelt in front of Song Yang, "Dad, I am an unfilial child."

Song Yang said cheerfully, "Well, it's easy for us two to talk it over."

Xie Yinyin also invited Song Chenfeng to sit down and took the initiative to give up the seat next to Song Yang.

Song Chenfeng didn't know how to face this woman, so he lowered his head and said "thank you" sullenly.

Song Zhi poured him another bowl of rice. "You just came back and don't know a lot of things. Tomorrow, take a walk around this town and learn more about what the Sun family has done before you talk to us."

Song Chenfeng nodded hesitantly.

Song Yang wanted to say something, but Song Zhi held him back and changed the subject.

My brother had never suffered any grievances or been mistreated since he was a child. Even though he was angry that Sun was partial to his sister, he was not the one who experienced the pain personally, so in his eyes, Sun was basically still a gentle and loving mother.

Song Zhi didn't want to persuade everyone to hate Sun like she did, but she also didn't want to force anyone around her to forgive Sun under the banner of justice.
