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

After seeing Fang Ning off, Song Zhi returned to Qingfeng Courtyard and saw Xiaotao sulking by the pond.

She walked over and asked, "Why, are you unhappy?"

Seeing that it was Song Zhi, Xiao Tao quickly dropped the leaf in her hand and stood up to salute, "Miss, please don't blame me for giving my cousin things that don't belong to our status. I know you have good intentions, but ginseng fruit is precious, and I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, it will involve the Song Mansion."

Song Zhi patted Xiao Tao's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. You don't have to wait on me for the next two months. When you have time, go and supervise your cousin's studies."

Xiao Tao's cheeks flushed. "Miss, my cousin and I were engaged as a joke between our parents when we were young. It's not right for me to urge him to study hard this time, so forget it."

Song Zhi said, "Don't think like that. You must go."

If I hadn't gone, I would have discovered that Fang Ning couldn't even recognize all the characters.

What's more, if he didn't want to make up an inspirational story for himself about studying hard and getting a good degree, he would have spent the next six months sitting at his desk for her!

You have to die on trial.

"I know you have concerns, and I will definitely not let you go alone. Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for you, young lady."

Xiao Tao looked confused, she didn't know about the arrangements behind Song Zhi.

Song Zhi said, "I've rented the yard next to his house and hired a few female guards to protect you. From now on, you just need to urge him to study every day."

Xiao Tao was a little embarrassed, "Miss, isn't this too much of a fuss?"

Song Zhi held her hand and said earnestly, "Your business is my business, just go and have peace of mind."

Fang Ning had no good intentions, so she had to make Fang Ning suffer while ensuring her own safety.

Xiaotao shook her head and refused, insisting on staying in the Song Mansion to take care of Song Zhi.

In the end, Song Zhi had to persuade her into agreeing.

After waving his hand to send Xiao Tao away, Song Zhi breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

She first found Song Yang to arrange Fang Ning's task, and then returned to Qingfeng Courtyard with her head held high.

When she stepped into the yard, she suddenly shivered and inexplicably felt that the temperature in the yard was several degrees colder than outside.

She didn't believe it, so she walked back and forth at the gate several times to make sure that there was a kind of cold and gloomy atmosphere in the yard.

She looked around and finally found the reason at the stone table under the flower vines.

Mu Nanqi, dressed in black, was sitting there staring at her expressionlessly. His eyes were like the biting north wind in the cold winter, cold and full of resentment.

Song Zhi quickly reviewed his schedule for the day and found that he had not done anything wrong.

She walked over to sit across from him and forced a smile, "Why do you look like that?"

Mu Nanqi pursed his lips tightly, his eyes motionless.

Seeing that Song Zhi still didn't realize the problem, he condescended to ask, "You gave the ginseng fruit I gave you to another man?"

Song Zhi nodded innocently, "Yes, that thing is not as delicious as apples, oranges and pears, it just looks good."

Mu Nanqi's expression became even more gloomy.

Song Zhi quickly said, "Why are you so angry? I accept your kindness. I'll eat the rest myself, okay? I'm using that ginseng fruit for fishing. Do you want to come with me and see if there's any fish on the hook?"

Originally, she had no intention of seeing what happened to Fang Ning, but sitting on a big block of ice in the yard wasn't a good idea, so she thought of taking him along to see what was happening next.

Mu Nanqi did not refuse, and the two of them went out one after the other.

The streets were crowded, and to avoid attracting attention, they deliberately walked around deserted alleys.

Soon, we arrived at the center of the most bustling and prosperous main street.

From a distance, Song Zhi saw Fang Ning showing off the ginseng fruit with a smug look on his face.

He looked arrogant and was surrounded by a group of students who were also dressed in shabby clothes, as if he was some important person.

Suddenly, someone who had a bad relationship with him questioned him, "The Song family and you have never had any contact. Why would they give you such a valuable thing for no reason? Did you steal it?"

Fang Ning is a lazy and philandering person. He has been trying to sneak in among them these days by pretending to be a poor student, but he has high expectations but poor skills and no real knowledge, so he has a very bad reputation.

Fang Ning had been holding his head high, but upon hearing this, his fur stood on end like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"What are you talking about? I have my own relationship. You are a fellow scholar, yet you dare to slander my innocence."

The man sneered, "I was just saying it casually, why are you so anxious? Are you worried because I said you were weak-minded?"

Fang Ning's face turned green with anger. "Why should I feel guilty? I think you are just jealous of me and are deliberately slandering me. This ginseng fruit was given to me by Miss Song herself."

"Then tell me why Miss Song gave you such a valuable gift."

Fang Ning opened his mouth to explain his relationship with Xiao Tao, but when the words came to his lips, his eyes rolled and he changed it to, "Of course, Miss Song saw that I was handsome and talented, so she fell in love with me."

He straightened his chest and said, "Many people saw me when I came out of the Song Mansion just now."

Everyone was shocked. Although they did not believe Fang Ning's words, he did go to the Song Mansion and there was no way he could fake it.

After a long while, someone half-believed and half-doubtedly complimented him, "So you'll soon become the Song family's son-in-law. I hope Brother Fang will take good care of me in the future."

At this time, Song Zhi, who was standing at the corner, was frowning.

She had expected Fang Ning to show off the ginseng fruit, but she hadn't expected him to slander her. Feeling the chill around her suddenly drop a few degrees, she quickly hugged his waist and said, "You're not going to believe his nonsense, are you?"

Song Zhi shook her head coquettishly, "My love for you is like the endless flow of the river, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, it is unstoppable. Let alone a man like him, even if a god came down to earth, he can't compare to a finger of yours in my heart."

Very good, the temperature around here is warming up.

Although the words are greasy, they are effective.

She seemed to have a better understanding of Mu Nanqi's temper.

After calming down the big iceberg beside him, Song Zhi prepared to rush out to clear his name.

As soon as he lifted one foot, he saw Xiaotao hurried over with a group of female guards.

She silently withdrew her foot and planned to go out later.

Fang Ning raised his chin again, still looking smug. "Just so you know. If I become successful in the future, I will definitely not forget the friendship we showed you today."

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Tao's dissatisfied voice came from behind him, "Didn't my cousin say he was going home to study? Why is he sitting here idle?"

Hearing Xiao Tao's voice, Fang Ning was startled and turned around stiffly, "Cousin, why are you here?"

Seeing the ginseng fruit being passed around among other students, Xiao Tao's face immediately darkened. She subconsciously asked, "Cousin, what are you doing here with the ginseng fruit that the young lady gave me as a reward?"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the students around him suddenly became intriguing.

As proud as Fang Ning was just now, the reversal now is just as dramatic.

The student holding the ginseng fruit felt like a hot potato and immediately returned it to Fang Ning.
