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

The imperial guards who came to pick up the bride soon arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Song Yale was happily supported and stepped into the eight-man sedan chair, and she was the center of attention for a while.

Sun's eyes were red as she choked up and sighed, "Time flies so fast. I never thought that the daughter I have pampered for more than ten years will get married soon."

Song Zhi sneered.

Sun immediately glared at him, "What are you laughing at? I'm telling you, today is your sister's wedding day, so you better behave yourself and don't make any mistakes."

Song Zhi nonchalantly played with his nails and deliberately curled his lips, "That's hard to say."

Sun's sense of crisis suddenly increased. "What do you mean? Song Zhi, she is your sister!"

Song Zhi corrected, "Wrong, it's my cousin."

Sun gritted her teeth and said, "What on earth do you want to do? I will never allow you to ruin your sister's most important day..."

She was still babble on and on, but Song Zhi was too lazy to listen anymore.

She got on the carriage that accompanied her family and set off with the wedding procession.

Sun wanted to stop them, but just as she took a step, she was blocked by two burly servants.

Song Yale, who was sitting in the wedding sedan, didn't know any of this. She only heard waves of envy from the people not far away. Under her bright red veil, her expression was extremely happy.

When she becomes the Crown Princess, the first person she will torture is Song Zhi.

However, what she didn't know was that she would soon stop laughing.

The wedding sedan moved slowly forward along the long street, with sounds of joy ringing in the ears all the way, and more and more people followed along to watch the excitement.

After one stick of incense, the wedding sedan stopped.

Song Yale was stunned for a moment. Had they reached the palace gate? How could they be so much faster than expected?

However, before she could ask, Yaer's angry voice came from outside, "Sir, my young lady is going to the palace to hold a wedding ceremony. What do you mean by bringing the wedding sedan here?"

The leading Imperial Guards looked calm and said, "Of course we are here to pick up the bride."

Ya'er was about to retort when Song Zhi stepped out of the sedan chair first. "What are you arguing about?"

"Second miss..."

Facing Song Zhi, Ya'er stepped back timidly. She pointed behind her and said aggrievedly, "Look, they brought the wedding sedan here."

Behind them was the Sun Mansion, which had been renovated long ago. The mansion was still as magnificent as it was back then.

Although the Sun Mansion was destroyed by a fire that year, it was later restored by the Sun family. Its luxury was even greater than that of the Song Mansion, and the tablets of the deceased were even placed in the ancestral hall.

Song Zhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Isn't it natural to come here? The daughter of the Sun family must marry from the Sun family."

Then he turned to the people and said loudly, "Today, while there are so many people here, I need to tell everyone a fact. Yale is the only descendant of the Sun family."

"Back then, tragedy struck the Sun Mansion. As relatives, we in the Prime Minister's Mansion took pity on Yale's mother's family, as no one was still alive. So we raised her in the Prime Minister's Mansion since she was a child. But now that marriage is a big deal, the tablets of Yale's relatives are placed here. According to etiquette, she must marry out of her own mansion."

"We had no intention of making this public, but since Yale is about to marry into the royal family, we dare not lie about her background any further, lest we commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. We have no choice but to tell her the truth."

As soon as the words came out, a huge wave was set off among the people around.

They all showed shocked expressions, "It turns out that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not the Prime Minister's biological daughter, but the daughter of the Sun Mansion."

"It's just incredible."

"Fortunately, I have made it clear now, otherwise I would be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has always valued Miss Yale, but I didn't expect that she is not their biological daughter."

Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things, and the sounds of discussion were coming from all directions.

Song Yale, who was in the wedding sedan, felt her whole body stiffen as if she had fallen into an ice cave when she heard these voices. She never thought that Song Zhi would actually say this today. How dare she!

Song Yale clenched her fingers tightly, forced herself to sit up straight, and raised her voice to try to save the situation: "Sister, today is my big day. You can hate me for marrying the prince in your place, or blame me for being unable to control my feelings, but it is really not advisable to do this to discredit my sister just to get revenge on her. Mother will not agree with you doing such a foolish thing."

Song Zhi raised his eyebrows. Song Yale's psychological endurance was quite good. Even at this time, she could still calm down quickly and say these words to mislead outsiders.

It's a pity that the current situation cannot be resolved by just a few words.

Song Zhi smiled meaningfully. "Defamation? So my sister thinks it's shameful to return to her roots. Is this slandering you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around started pointing and talking.

Tianqi puts filial piety first and despises those who are disloyal and unfilial the most.

Song Yale's breath was choked, and she argued across the sedan chair, "It's not that I feel ashamed to return to my ancestral home, it's because I am the daughter of the Song family."

"Yeah."

Song Zhi calmly took out an official document, which clearly described Song Yale's life experience and had Song Yang's fingerprints on it.

She ordered the document to be taken down and shown to the people in turn.

After reading it, everyone present was shocked. This document undoubtedly confirmed Song Yale's identity.

The doted eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion turned out to be not his biological daughter!

Song Yale was so angry that she trembled all over when she heard the discussions outside. She subconsciously exerted force, and her long nails immediately pierced into the palm of her hand, and bright red blood dripped along the lines of her hand.

She hated it, she really hated it.

Why! Why today! Now!

The identity she had worked so hard to maintain for so long was now easily exposed.

It turned out that Song Zhi had not attacked her all this time just to give her a fatal blow today. Song Yale's nails dug deeper.

She breathed heavily, and the jewels on her head trembled along with the veil.

After a long time, I finally calmed down.

She knew how to weigh the pros and cons and made her choice in an instant.

She must go to the palace and get married as soon as possible while the palace still doesn't know about this. She can't delay here and arouse the palace's suspicion.

Song Zhi's preparations were too thorough. Song Yale knew that nothing she said would change the situation. She simply stopped pretending to smile sarcastically and said, "If your mother hadn't insisted on me, I wouldn't have to be the daughter of the Song family."

"Can we set off now? I'm afraid you won't be able to afford to miss the auspicious time."

At the very least, she must maintain her status as the Crown Princess.

The Imperial Guard looked at Song Zhi, and Song Zhi nodded when he saw that his goal had been achieved, and the sedan chair then set off again.

However, the situation now was completely different from the initial celebration. The people were discussing the big gossip they heard today with different expressions. There were fewer envious voices in the crowd, and even the sounds of joy were not as loud as at the beginning.

The team arrived at the palace gate in a very strange atmosphere.
