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

Song Zhi's tone was emotionless. "You are not only stupid, but also very bad. If you want me to let you go, ask all the sisters here if they agree."

As soon as the words fell, the woman in the shop spoke up.

"No! Their lives are lives, but our lives are not lives?"

"Everyone has to pay the price for their choices."

"Send them to jail!"

everyone shouted in unison.

Song Zhi shrugged, "You see, this is what everyone wants."

After that, he turned to Li Yan and said, "Uncle Li, thank you for your help."

Li Yan nodded and raised his hand to have the two women arrested.

"Send it to the government office."

"Yes."

The officers and soldiers escorted the two women out, and they continued to cry and beg for mercy, "We were wrong. We shouldn't repay kindness with hatred. Please spare us."

The crying sound could be heard from far away, even when the visitor was a long distance away from her.

Song Zhi stood at the door and looked into the distance. His eyes fell on a figure in a luxurious sedan and he raised his chin provocatively.

The person in the sedan seemed to be irritated. He suddenly dropped the curtain and ordered the bearers to carry the sedan away.

"That is……"

Li Yan stroked his beard with a meaningful expression, "Wise King?"

Song Zhi retracted his gaze and said, "Yes, Uncle Li, if you have any questions, you can ask my father. I have told him everything I know. Now I have to go and take care of something, so I can't stay here with you."

Li Yan nodded, "Okay, then go ahead."

Song Zhi thanked him and turned to leave the shop.

The men who had been gathered here and shouting wildly had already run away when they saw that the situation was not right, so there was no hindrance when she went out.

She came all the way to the Cang family teahouse and walked in leisurely.

Wang Lanzhi had been waiting here for a long time. He said with a sullen face, "Why did you write a note asking me to come here?"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is truly forgetful. Have you forgotten whose mansion you are living in now?"

Wang Lanzhi was embarrassed and said angrily, "Despicable. How can you be a hero if you always bring this up?"

Song Zhi said confidently, "I didn't say I wanted to be a hero. Who told you to mess with me?"

She extended a hand and said, "You've been so diligent in serving the virtuous king. I'm sure he's done you a lot of good things. If that's the case, then let's pay the rent for the mansion for these two months."

Wang Lanzhi's face twitched. "What rent?"

Song Zhi withdrew his hand and folded his arms, "Sir Wang, since the mansion is mine, there's no reason for you to live here for free. Isn't it only natural to pay rent?"

Wang Lan slammed the table in anger and stood up, "Song Zhi, don't go too far!"

Song Zhi rolled his eyes. "So what if I'm bullying you too much? If you really have to, just move out. Of course, even if you don't live here, you still have to pay the rent for the first few months."

Wang Lan was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He felt that this woman was really his nemesis and was suppressing him completely.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll completely turn against you?! Don't you still want to know the whereabouts of the virtuous king when he entered the palace?"

Song Zhi looked at him innocently, and uttered two words seriously and earnestly, "Don't be afraid."

"If you want to turn against me, go ahead. If you do, I'll report you and the virtuous prince to the emperor and sell your Prime Minister's Mansion for a high price. I won't lose anything anyway."

"As for the whereabouts of the Wise King, you are not the only way to obtain it."

Wang Lanzhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"you……"

He pointed at Song Zhi with trembling fingers, but couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "How much do you want?"

Song Zhi smiled brightly, "Not too much, not too little, just five thousand taels."

Wang Lanzhi's face turned pale. "Five thousand taels! Do you think this is a bank?"

He was squeezed dry by her last time, and when he finally saved some money, she was targeting him again.

Wang Lanzhi felt so regretful that he wanted to slap himself twice. He really shouldn't have offended this ancestor. Why didn't he learn his lesson?

"Three thousand taels, no more."

Song Zhi's smile remained unchanged. "Prime Minister, I think you've made a mistake. I'm not here to bargain with you. Five thousand taels, not a penny less."

"you……"

Wang Lanzhi covered his heart and pointed at Song Zhi again, trembling, "You are trying to kill me."

Song Zhi said earnestly, "You are the Prime Minister. It's not easy to get some money. Try harder. It's unlucky to talk about death all the time."

Wang Lanzhi was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can promise you, but I have one condition."

Song Zhi raised his eyebrows. "Although you are not qualified to make conditions, I can listen to what you have to say."

"I'll give you five thousand taels, and you're not allowed to threaten me with this again."

"It's my right to collect rent from my house. Who is threatening you?"

"I'm saying you're not allowed to threaten me with going to the Emperor to complain."

"Oh, well, it depends on my mood."

Song Zhi said, "As long as you don't provoke me, I shouldn't think of threatening you. Prime Minister, I'm very busy. Who would threaten you all day long? Just like you bumped into me today."

She hoped that Wang Lanzhi would be unfaithful to the dog emperor and create trouble for him, and she didn't want him to make any mistakes.

Thinking of what happened today, Wang Lanzhi was filled with anger. It was the wise king who swore that everything was arranged for him to come forward, but in the end, he became a clown.

When he left the shop and told the king that his plan had failed, the wise king actually called him a waste.

It's none of his business.

Wang Lanzhi was a little discouraged. Could it be that he was destined to be incompatible with power in this life? No matter how he planned, he would never be able to avenge his previous humiliation and be respected by others?

He felt a little depressed and asked someone to bring five thousand taels of silver notes from a bank and put them on the table.

"I hope Miss Song keeps her word."

Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, he has made up his mind not to provoke Song Zhi again.

Song Zhi happily accepted the money and said, "Thank you very much."

As soon as she got the banknote, she left the teahouse without looking back.

Mu Nanqi's situation was like a mountain hitting her heart, and she could never completely relax.

The visiting card sent to the palace should have received a reply, so she had to go back and check it out.

Song Zhi quickened his pace and returned to the Song Mansion in a short while.

As soon as she stepped inside, Xiao Tao ran over and said, "Miss, the palace has replied. Princess Tuoba invites you to the palace for a chat. This princess definitely has bad intentions. Are you sure you want to go?"

She took the letter and looked at it, then said solemnly, "Of course I will go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Xiao Tao was very worried, "Why don't we wait for the master to come back and discuss it before taking any action."

Song Zhi thought that this made sense, and there was no need to rush at the moment anyway.

Before she could answer, the butler said with a troubled look on his face, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The princess has specially sent a carriage to pick you up, and it's waiting outside right now."

Oh no, it seems that the provocation was a bit too much.

Song Zhi was embarrassed, gave him a reassuring look and walked out.
