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

The night passed peacefully without any accidents.

The next day, Song Zhi really let Tuoba Yu leave early in the morning.

Tuoba Yu was full of resentment and said that this was outrageous, but there was nothing he could do.

Huan'er was sent to her side by her guests after being transformed. It was said that the Wang family had been searching for him all night with torches, but they couldn't find him. They were afraid of missing the scheduled burial time, so they had to bury their deceased son alone at five o'clock in the morning today.

Afterwards, they became more and more angry. Not only did they take people to their aunt's house to ask for the five taels of silver back, they also extorted another three taels from their aunt's family on the grounds that ruining the ghost marriage might lead to misfortune for the Wang family.

The aunt sat on the ground crying and wailing in grief, saying that if she caught Huan'er, she would make her suffer when she got back.

Song Zhi asked, "Do you need me to help you get back what belongs to you?"

Huan'er's eyes revealed a hint of hatred. "No, when I'm strong enough one day, I will take them all back with my own hands."

"Miss Song."

Suddenly, a shout was heard outside the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with a crutch limping in from outside.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you here?"

Song Zhi was about to put down the things in his hands to take it, but the woman knelt down and said, "Qiu'er's life was saved by the young lady. Now you can get out of bed. I must thank you first."

Qiu'er was the most seriously injured among all the women, especially the injuries to her private parts, which were truly shocking.

"It's okay if you don't come. I was planning to visit you in a few days." Song Zhi helped her up and comforted her.

Qiu'er said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be anyone like me in this world. Qiu'er may not have any other skills, but I can still serve others. After my injury heals, I am willing to stay by your side and serve you wholeheartedly."

"no!"

Before Song Zhi could answer, Huan'er beside him shouted without thinking.

Seeing everyone looking at her suspiciously, Huan'er blushed and hurriedly explained, "Young Lady has shown kindness to every woman here. Everyone wants to stay with Young Lady. How could Young Lady possibly need so many people?"

Qiu'er simply wanted to repay Song Zhi and didn't think too much about it. She was not annoyed when she was refuted.

"Then what do you think?"

"Of course, we have to choose the best among everyone to take care of the young lady."

Xiao Tao, who was standing behind Song Zhi, had a face full of resentment and whispered, "Is it possible that the young lady doesn't need a maid? I am enough for the young lady."

"It's always inconvenient to have only you as my personal maid. It will definitely be different if there is one more person to serve me." Huan'er argued.

So Xiao Tao started to argue with Huan Er, "I can take good care of the young lady by myself. Look how plump and fair she is now."

Song Zhi: White and fat?

Huan'er said, "How can she be fat? The young lady looks haggard and thin. It must be due to the lack of caregivers."

Song Zhi: It’s better to be fat and white.

The two of them were talking back and forth, while Qiu'er, who had first brought up the matter, stood a little further away, leaning on her crutches.

Song Zhi was embarrassed and tried to stop the fight, but found that he couldn't stop the two of them at all, so he simply took Qiu'er to the backyard to rest and away from this place of trouble.

After Qin Yue's investigation, Huan'er had no problems, so Qin Yue invited her to join her guests.

Huan'er is very talented in reading and learns characters very quickly. Even when Song Zhi casually recites poems, she can understand most of them with her comprehension.

As for Gouer Lane, Song Zhi would bring people in every few days. Before long, he had secretly taken control of seven or eight alleys.

After she established her authority last time and used poison to control the situation, the alleys under her control are now more peaceful than ever before.

There is no stealing, no bullying, and no treating women as playthings.

I thought everyone would not be used to this kind of life, but surprisingly, everyone got used to it.

Of course, this is also due to her clear rules of rewards and punishments.

As time went by, half a month passed quickly.

That day, when Song Zhi was about to train the people in the newly conquered alley, Song Yang came to Qingfengyuan with a panicked look on his face.

"Child, something terrible has happened. The Crown Prince hasn't woken up yet, but the thief we caught confessed that it was the Third Prince who ordered him to poison the Crown Prince. The Emperor is furious and has already imprisoned the Third Prince in the Sky Prison, preparing to execute him for murdering his brother."

Song Zhi stood up with a jerk and nearly knocked over the tea in front of him.

"What! How could it be Mu Nanqi!"

Song Yang's face was serious. "I have connections in the prison. You should go see the Third Prince first."

"Okay, let's go now."

Song Zhi got on the carriage prepared by the housekeeper and headed to the Heavenly Prison.

On the way, she had never felt that the journey to the Heavenly Prison was as long as it was now.

Many images flashed through my mind, sometimes it was Mu Yunhe, sometimes it was the wise king.

Who among them is it? Who is setting up the trap to frame Mu Nanqi?

After getting off the carriage, she followed the jailer straight to the innermost part of the prison.

As they approached, the jailer warned, "Miss Song, the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to visit you. I've risked my life to arrange a meeting with you, so please keep your conversation short."

"it is good."

Song Zhi nodded and walked forward involuntarily.

The dark and damp prison was filled with a lingering musty smell, and rats could be seen running quickly in the corners from time to time.

She quickly came to the last cell and saw a familiar figure.

He was wearing a black shirt, his hands were hung up and handcuffed, and there were countless whip marks on his body, even on his face.

Because he was unconscious with his head down, the jailer did not disturb him when he opened the door.

Song Zhi's eyes suddenly became moist and he moved closer step by step.

Walking up to him, she stretched out her arms and was about to hug him, but unexpectedly Mu Nanqi raised his head, which had been lowered, and a burst of internal force rushed towards her chest.

"Aqi, it's me."

Song Zhi cried out in surprise, but the force could no longer be retracted.

Just as he was about to attack Song Zhi, Mu Nanqi struggled to break free from the shackles that bound his hands, flew over and grabbed Song Zhi's waist to avoid the attack.

The two rolled to a safe place.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

A deep voice sounded in my ears, filled with fear and tension.

Song Zhi took advantage of the situation and put his arm around his waist, burying his face in his arms. "It turns out that you can't be trapped here, why don't you run away?"

"If I run away, it will prove that I am absconding from the crime."

"So you made yourself look like this?"

"I'm repaying him for giving me life."

Mu Nanqi held the woman in his arms tightly, "I've forgiven you for your life, and now you won't have to worry about anything you do in the future."

"Then why don't you discuss it with me in advance?"

"It happened so suddenly that I only had time to leave you a letter."

Song Zhi felt very uncomfortable, "The dog emperor wants to execute you, so what are you going to do?"
