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

"Zeng Aqiao, I treated you as a family member, but you deceived both me and my mother, and let my mother fall into such a miserable situation. Go to hell!"

A thick wooden stick hit Zeng Aqiao's back, and Xiao Qingzi's eyes were bloodshot as if he had gone mad.

He raised the stick and brought it down again, once, twice, three times.

It was not until the fourth hit that Zeng Aqiao, who had been standing there in a daze and unable to react due to the sudden change, finally snatched the wooden stick with pain.

With almost no effort, Zeng Aqiao knocked Xiao Qingzi to the ground with a stick.

"Useless wretch, you want to sneak attack me? Don't you even consider whether you have the ability to do it?"

Zeng Aqiao spat and twisted his neck which was hurt by the hit.

He is a guard who has been trained for a long time. His physical fitness is completely incomparable to Xiao Qingzi.

He looked unfriendly, "Why did you leave the palace? You followed me!"

Xiao Qingzi fell to the ground and cursed loudly: "If I hadn't followed you, how would I know you did this to our family? Aren't you afraid of God's punishment for such evil deeds?"

Zeng Aqiao sneered and kicked Xiao Qingzi on the shoulder.

"God's punishment? What do you mean by God's punishment? I just enjoy life while I can."

At the same time, the woman lying on the bed finally understood what was going on.

"Qing'er, you're back!"

"Mom, it's my son. He's back."

No longer caring about Zeng Aqiao, Xiao Qingzi ran to the bed with tears streaming down her face.

When he saw the old man with gray hair and skinny body, he burst into tears and pulled up the hand that was as dry as tree bark.

In the past, these hands were rosy and warm. They held him in their arms, coaxed him softly, helped him learn to walk, and sewed every piece of clothing for him with their own hands.

Now, I can't even lift him up and touch his face.

"Mother, it is my son who is unfilial. My son is unfilial."

"Dear, I'm glad you're okay. I'm relieved."

The old woman finally smiled for the first time in so many years. She felt more satisfied than ever before. "If it weren't for the misfortune in my family, how could you have entered the palace..."

Having said this, the woman could no longer speak and her voice trembled.

Zeng Aqiao, who was standing by, had no time to listen to them. He held the stick in his right hand and moved it sporadically with his left hand.

"Since you've already discovered it, I might as well not hide it."

"Yes, that's right. I've been deceiving both of you for the past two years, and I've swindled a lot of money out of you. But so what? I just told a little lie, and you guys rushed to hand the money over to me."

Zeng Aqiao was not embarrassed after being exposed, but was rather proud of it.

"I'm telling you, this yard must be sold to me as gambling money. Tomorrow, I'll get someone to take a look."

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Qingzi suddenly stood up and stood in front of the woman. "This yard is my home. What does it have to do with you? We will never sell it."

Zeng Aqiao scratched his ears with his hands, confident and confident, "Not selling? Zeng Qing, if I'm not mistaken, you're only being allowed to leave the palace this time. When you return, I still have the final say here."

"If you ask me, you should just go along with my wishes. Maybe if I'm happy, I can even help your mother hold the memorial tablet and see her off to the end."

"After all, you are not really a man now, how can you do something like holding a memorial tablet?"

"You, we don't want you to be in charge of our family from now on, get out, get out!"

Xiao Qingzi's face turned red and white, and she pointed at the door with bloodshot eyes, trying to drive the other person away.

Zeng Aqiao didn't move. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. You are an orphan and a widow. I want to kill you without any effort."

Seeing that Zeng Aqiao was not joking, Xiao Qingzi subconsciously took a step back.

Zeng's mother was afraid that her son would be hurt, so she said weakly, "No, don't touch Qing'er. If you want the yard, just sell it."

"mother!"

"Qing'er, listen to me. I don't have much time left in my health. As long as you are safe and sound, I will be relieved."

"no!"

Xiao Qingzi gritted her teeth, thinking that she had wrongly trusted the villain and caused her mother to become like this. How could she allow him to sell the yard and leave her mother without a place to live in her last days?

"no?"

Zeng Aqiao walked towards Xiao Qingzi step by step, "Are you sure you want to be so desperate?"

Xiao Qingzi was extremely scared, but still did not give in.

"My name is registered in the palace, and Eunuch Li recently assigned me a very important task. If you dare to attack me, you will definitely be discovered."

After saying this, Zeng Aqiao's steps became a little hesitant.

But when he thought about how he had lost everything today and had no money to make a comeback, he instantly regained his ferocious look.

"As long as I do it cleanly, no one will know it was me who did it. As your only relative, the yard will still belong to me after you die."

Zeng Aqiao's face was grim and his murderous intent was even stronger.

Xiao Qingzi was regretting it so much at this moment. If he had known that the other party was so cruel, he should have found some help before getting out.

He acted impulsively without thinking through the consequences and ended up hurting himself and his mother.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingzi looked at her haggard-looking Zeng's mother with guilt.

"Mother, I am an unfilial son. I didn't let you enjoy a few days of peace and happiness. This yard is the wish that father left for us. I will never let him succeed even if I die."

After saying that, he turned around, picked up the scissors beside the bed, and rushed towards Zeng Aqiao with the idea of ​​dying together.

Zeng Aqiao naturally did not take him seriously. He knew very well that with his strength, it would be easy to deal with a weak eunuch.

So he raised a scornful smile and hit him directly in the vitals with the wooden stick.

Xiao Qingzi's face turned pale, she closed her eyes and stabbed out with the scissors in her hand, while also preparing to be hit by the wooden stick.

However, the imagined pain did not appear. Instead, Zeng Aqiao on the opposite side let out a muffled groan.

Xiao Qingzi opened his eyes tremblingly and found a smoky green figure separating him and Zeng Aqiao.

The wooden stick that Zeng Aqiao raised high was caught steadily by the woman, and his scissors went straight into Zeng Aqiao's chest.

"Fortunately, I caught up."

The woman smiled and winked at him slyly.

Xiao Qingzi let go of the scissors and staggered back two steps. Perhaps because he had just made the determination to die, standing here at this moment made him feel as if he was in another world.

He stared blankly ahead and uttered three words in a daze.

"Miss Song."

"I thought you were stupid."

Song Zhi pushed Zeng Aqiao back, and the latter fell straight to the ground.

"He...he's dead?"

Xiao Qingzi's hands and feet went weak, and she realized belatedly that she had actually killed someone.

Song Zhibai glanced at him and asked, "What else? Do you regret killing me?"

"of course not."

Xiao Qingzi shook her head repeatedly. "He deserved death for what he did to my mother and me. It's just that I've never killed someone so directly before, so I was a little scared for the moment. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
