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

She couldn't say those humiliating words, but Song Zhi could understand.

Qiu'er's cries rang out again. Thinking of those dark scenes, she almost lost the courage to live.

"I wanted to kill myself, but the lady next door told me I could ask you for help. If I could find you, I could escape those two demons and start a new life."

"Boss, please take me in. If they catch me, I'll be dead."

Qiu'er was on the verge of collapse, with a look of despair on her face, as if she was about to be swallowed by endless darkness and fall into an abyss of pain.

After hearing her words, Song Zhi winked at Qin Yue, who immediately understood and left the room.

Song Zhi and Qiu'er were the only ones left in the room. She helped her lie down and said softly, "I'll take you in. Just rest and recuperate here."

Qiu Er held her hand worriedly, "Really?"

She smiled slowly, "Really, you have to live well too. Only by living can you make those who have hurt you pay the price, right?"

When this was mentioned, the sadness in Qiu'er's eyes was instantly replaced by hatred, "I understand."

Song Zhi chatted with her again and asked someone to bring her some white porridge.

Because of the severity of her injuries, Qiu'er fell into a deep sleep soon after eating.

Song Zhi tiptoed out of the room. Qin Yue had been waiting in the yard for a long time.

"Miss, I checked and she didn't lie."

Song Zhi nodded. One must be on guard against others. She didn't want her kindness to harm herself and the people around her.

The two turned and left. Song Zhi suddenly thought of something and whispered something in Qin Yue's ear.

Qin Yue was surprised, but still said respectfully: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.

Song Zhi was walking on the way back to the Song Mansion. Because it was late, the streets were deserted and there were no pedestrians.

"You know someone is fanning the flames, but you still want to help her?"

A cool voice came from the shadows ahead, as deep as a clear spring.

Song Zhi looked up and saw Mu Nanqi standing there motionlessly in black.

It was dark and I couldn't see the expression on his face, but his tone seemed helpless.

Song Zhi raised the corner of her lips slightly, walked over and took his arm, "But I can't just stand by and watch, at least she is innocent."

Mu Nanqi sighed, "So you know everything?"

"Is that hard to guess?"

Song Zhi blinked. "Gou'er Alley is a complicated place with many people in it. Everyone is almost in the same group. Qiu'er hasn't escaped in all these years. How did she escape so easily this time, covered in wounds and blood? And the woman next door is also strange. The women there are all in similar situations. How come Qiu'er has never heard of us, but she knows everything and led Qiu'er here?"

"Furthermore, how could a woman who had hardly ever left Gou'er Lane in such a huge capital city collapse so precisely in front of my shop? Last but not least, this is the most important thing."

Song Zhi leaned on Mu Nanqi's arm cunningly, "Their people ran away, but instead of reporting to the authorities to find them, they made a big fuss about it and let everyone know about it. What's their intention?"

After she finished speaking, Mu Nanqi praised her for the rare occasion: "You're not too stupid."

Song Zhi raised his head and said seriously: "Don't worry, I have my own plan."

"I don't like hiding. Not only does it sacrifice innocent people, but it also makes me look so humiliated. Let them use whatever tricks they want. The road I'm going to take is destined to be bumpy, and I will cut through the thorns and bushes to show them."

Song Zhi spoke firmly, blocking out the rest of Mu Nanqi's words.

He looked at her softly, "Okay."

The two walked towards the Song Mansion together. The moonlight stretched their shadows very long, but they still snuggled together tightly.

The next day, the troublemakers found her visitor as expected.

The two men who were looking for their sister were shouting outside the store, asking Song Zhi to hand over his sister, saying that someone had seen their sister being carried into the store by them.

Qin Yue patiently explained to everyone, but the group of ferocious men did not listen.

They were holding sticks and looked like they were going to force their way in.

When Song Zhi arrived, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss."

Just as she was about to explain the situation, Song Zhi raised her hand to stop her from saying the next word, "I know everything."

She walked up to the two men, raised her chin and looked at them, "You are the ones causing trouble in front of my shop."

She was not as tall as these men, but inexplicably, her aura was not weaker at all when she stood there, and she even suppressed the men.

The two leading men took a step back, then quickly puffed out their chests and shouted, "What do you mean by making trouble? Someone saw my sister kidnapped from your store. Hurry and return my sister to me."

Song Zhi said calmly: "I haven't seen the girl you mentioned before. You said someone saw her. Who did they see? Find them and let everyone hear their description."

The two men didn't expect Song Zhi to be so calm and organized. After a pause, they said, "Don't worry about this. Someone saw my sister in your store. She had a conflict with us and ran away from home. This is our own family matter. Don't get involved. Just return her to us immediately."

Song Zhi was unmoved. "I'm not interested in interfering in your family affairs. I just don't have the people you want in my shop. You'd better stay away from here."

When the men saw Song Zhi's firm refusal, a hint of joy appeared on their faces.

They tightened their wooden sticks and stopped talking to Song Zhiduo, "In that case, don't blame us for going to look for them ourselves."

After saying that, they bypassed Song Zhi and rushed into the store. They rushed in and started smashing things in the store with premeditated plans. Some people even rushed to the backyard and destroyed things everywhere.

They kicked open the doors of the rooms one by one, leaving no one untouched.

Just wait until Qiu'er is found and then attack.

However, as they continued to smash and destroy things, they realized that something was wrong.

Not only was there no sign of Qiu'er here, but no one stepped forward to stop them from doing anything.

No, it's not that no one tried to stop them, it's that there was no one here at all, and even the things they smashed were just the most basic and worthless objects.

Everyone stopped and turned to look at Song Zhi who was casually admiring his nails at the door.

Song Zhi blew the dust off his nails and said, "Keep smashing it. Why aren't you moving?"

Their faces suddenly turned ugly. "You...what tricks are you playing! Where did you hide our sister?"

Song Zhi curled his lips slightly, "I already said I didn't see your sister, but you just don't believe me. Go find whoever saw your sister."

At this moment, these people finally realized that they had been fooled.

They threw down the sticks in their hands and were about to leave, but Song Zhi stood sideways at the door to block them.

"Who told you that this is a place where you can come and go as you please?"

"Go away!"

No matter how stupid the two leading men were, they realized that something was wrong. They were eager to leave and raised their hands to push Song Zhi away.

However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard a snap and his bones were broken.

Song Chenfeng said with a bad look on his face, "How dare you bully my sister?"
