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

The steward pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it really necessary to do this?"

The wise king spoke each word with great emphasis, leaving no room for negotiation. "This is absolutely necessary."

Song Zhi unconsciously clenched the dagger in her sleeve. Although this was on the Cang family's territory, she could not completely trust human nature.

If the manager turned against her, she would break out through the window immediately, and the secret guards would rush in immediately.

Seeing that the situation could not be reversed, the manager sighed and said, "Then I'm sorry."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the thugs behind him immediately filed in.

Song Zhi secretly cried out that something was wrong, pulled out a dagger and rushed to the window at lightning speed. However, as soon as one foot stepped on the windowsill, she found that those thugs were rushing straight towards the guards of the wise king and didn't care about her at all.

The guards failed to react in time and missed the opportunity, and many of them were killed in succession, and they were soon at a disadvantage.

The steward walked up to Song Zhi with a smile and said, "Miss Song, don't worry. You are always the first choice in the Cang family's territory."

Song Zhi stepped down from the windowsill awkwardly, brushing off the dust on his clothes. "Aren't you afraid of offending the virtuous king to death by doing this?"

The steward smiled respectfully, "You also said that he is just a wise king."

Not far away, the virtuous king was furious. "Well, well, I never thought a small tea shop would dare to ignore me. I will definitely destroy this place!"

Just as he was about to call for support, the manager calmly took out a token from his pocket.

"The Cang family is an imperial merchant granted by the emperor himself, and this token is also an imperial merchant order bestowed by the emperor himself. Even if the prince is rich and noble, he cannot do whatever he wants here. If the prince insists on causing trouble, the Cang family will have no choice but to report the matter to the emperor to determine right and wrong."

The virtuous king's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He waved his hand to stop the fighting guards and said with gritted teeth, "How dare you use the emperor to pressure me!"

The steward said respectfully, "I dare not. I am only discussing the matter at hand."

Song Zhi grumbled sarcastically, "Your Highness, are you unconvinced? Do you think you have more power than the Emperor?"

"Don't lie. When did I ever say that?"

"Then why do you have no respect for the Imperial Merchant Order?"

"you!"

The virtuous king's face turned ashen, and Wang Lanzhi's face beside him also looked very unhappy.

He said meaningfully, "Miss Song, why are you so stubborn? The highest position has always been occupied by the most capable. How do you know you won't regret being so aggressive today? As the saying goes, leave a way out for everything so that we can meet again in the future."

This statement might be used to scare others, but Song Zhi didn't care whether they could meet in the future or not.

She blinked her eyes and smiled. "But as the saying goes, if you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Since the feud has already been formed, I think it's better to put an end to it once and for all."

She nonchalantly played with the dagger in her hand, but the murderous intent in her eyes didn't seem like a joke at all.

She thought of Ning Qingcheng who died in a foreign land. She should have lived a leisurely life with many children, but she fell into that state because of the wise king.

He even committed adultery in the harem and had children with concubines. All the misfortunes in Mu Nanqi's first half of his life might have been caused by him.

Song Zhi looked around and saw that there were not too many guards left on the other side, so it would not be too difficult to deal with them.

Seeing that she was not just talking but really had this idea, the steward broke out in a cold sweat and whispered beside her, "Miss Song, if anything happens to the prince and Lord Wang here, I really can't explain myself. I hope you can show some mercy."

Upon hearing the steward's plea, the wise king's face looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

He is a wise king, a royal relative, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. How could he need a lowly teahouse manager to plead for him?

Gripping the chair tightly, the hatred in the wise king's eyes almost solidified into substance.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

It was obvious from the moment he shattered the screen at the very beginning that he had great martial arts skills, so it was normal for him to be fearless as he had someone to rely on.

Song Zhi's thoughts turned, and he suddenly put away the dagger, "Your Highness, you are joking. I was just joking. Why are you taking a junior like me so seriously?"

The wise king did not expect her attitude to change so quickly, and he could not guess what Song Zhi was thinking for a moment.

However, he also knew that the current situation was not favorable to him. If he really brought this matter to the attention of the emperor, the image he had painstakingly built up over the years would be destroyed.

Given the emperor's sensitive and suspicious nature, I'm afraid he will investigate him thoroughly.

Many things for him have now entered a critical period and there must be no mistakes.

Thinking of this, the virtuous king gloomily took advantage of the situation and said, "Of course, I won't take the jokes of the younger generation seriously. Today's situation is purely a misunderstanding. I invited Miss Song here just to have a cup of tea and make friends. Since Miss Song doesn't want to, then forget it."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I am so happy to have your favor. How could I not be willing? It's just that I am a little girl with limited abilities. I can't do anything else except drinking tea."

She bowed slightly and said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will not disturb Your Highness any longer. Goodbye."

Without waiting for the wise king to answer, Song Zhi turned and left.

The manager gave a wink and immediately had his thugs escort Song Zhi away.

Wang Lanzhi said unwillingly: "Prince, are we just going to let her go like this?"

The virtuous king frowned and glanced sideways, "How about this? Your Excellency, go and stop her in the name of the Prime Minister?"

Wang Lanzhi quickly shook his head, "No, no, no."

This matter of theirs should not have been made public in the first place. Now they have not only failed to achieve their goal but also exposed themselves. It is really not worth it.

They knew that Song Zhi had a relationship with the Cang family, but they didn't expect that the Cang family would be able to support her to this extent.

I had planned everything, but I had never expected this.

There was a glint of ruthlessness in the wise king's eyes. What a Song Zhi, what a Cang family.

The steward beside him said tactfully, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Cang family will keep today's events a secret and won't leak a single word. As an apology, all expenses today will not be recorded in the account. I will send someone to clean up the place right away. Your Highness and the others can move to Room 2 of Tianzi and rest for a while."

The virtuous king snorted coldly, "No need."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wang Lanzhi hurriedly followed, "Prince, what should we do next?"

The virtuous king glanced at Wang Lanzhi and was silent for a moment before saying, "This king doesn't like the Crown Prince's dominance. The struggle for imperial power is more interesting when there is a back-and-forth between you and me, isn't it?"

Wang Lanzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I know what to do."

The two of them separated quietly and discreetly at the door without attracting the attention of passers-by.

Wang Lanzhi already had a plan in mind. He knew that his performance today was very poor and did not satisfy the wise king, so he had to show his value next.

After all, compared to the second prince, the virtuous king is indeed a rare big tree.

After experiencing these incidents, he realized that he could handle anything that had nothing to do with Song Zhi well.

Otherwise, you will always be in bad luck.
