As soon as Mu Qinghan and Song Yale left, Song Zhi readily continued with the coming-of-age ceremony and warmly invited everyone to eat.

Her behavior was dignified and graceful, without any trace of embarrassment or shyness of a little girl, which made people secretly praise her.

Although Mrs. Sun and Prime Minister Song had a lot of questions to ask her at this moment, they held back their words for the sake of the overall situation.

In the past, whenever the Prime Minister's Mansion was mentioned, everyone would think of Song Yale, the eldest daughter of the Song family.

Because Song Yale is the best in the capital in terms of both talent and temperament, while the second daughter Song Zhi has always been unknown and has little sense of existence.

Today's incident also refreshed everyone's impression of Song Yale and Song Zhi.

What gentle and sensible person? Which gentle and sensible person would have an affair with his future brother-in-law behind his sister's back?

Song Zhi doesn't seem to have any special qualities, but he handles things very efficiently.

If you look closely, you will find that she is just dressed in a low-key manner, and her appearance is no worse than Song Yale's.

After this farce, the banquet went smoothly without any further mistakes.

Song Zhisong breathed a sigh of relief. The most critical moment in her previous life was finally changed by her.

After the complicated coming-of-age ceremony was finally completed and the guests dispersed, Sun and Prime Minister Song quickly called Song Zhi over.

"Zhi'er, what happened today? Your sister..."

Prime Minister Song couldn't help but speak first, but before he could finish his words, Song Zhi interrupted him seriously, "Dad, have you heard of the story of 'letting the wolf into the house'?"

Sun's face turned pale and she frowned in dissatisfaction. "Don't talk nonsense. Your sister is well-educated and well-mannered, not that kind of person. The prince is powerful, so he must have forced your sister."

Song Zhi was speechless after hearing this. Song Yale's behavior today didn't look forced at all. Only Sun, who had always been biased towards Song Yale, would think so.

However, she did not refute it, but looked at Prime Minister Song beside her, "Dad thinks so too?"

As soon as the words fell, Prime Minister Song on the side immediately said angrily: "Of course I believe my own daughter. Don't worry, Dad will definitely seek justice for you in this matter. How dare you call something like secret love true love?"

Yes, Prime Minister Song said that she was his biological daughter, because Song Yale was not born to Sun and Prime Minister Song, nor was she the real legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Yale's biological father is Sun's elder brother.

Back then, due to revenge by the enemy, a fire killed almost all the members of the Sun family, young and old. Only the infant Song Yale was thrown out of the fire with all her might, saving her life.

Later, thanks to the efforts of Prime Minister Song, all the murderers got what they deserved, but Song Yale also became an orphan.

Sun felt sorry for her crying for food, and because she was frightened by the fire and gave birth prematurely, her unborn baby died. So she took Song Yale home to raise her as her own child.

Except for the people in the Song Mansion, no one knew that Song Yale was not Sun's biological daughter.

At this point, Song Yale transformed herself into the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Zhi was born two years later.

She has been a stable person since she was a child and doesn't like to cry, so most of the time, the outside world only sees Sun's love and care for Song Yale, creating the illusion that the Prime Minister's Mansion pays more attention to Song Yale.

But in fact, no one knows that Prime Minister Song has always been a crazy protector of his daughters, but the one he protects is his own daughter, Song Zhi.

Even the eldest son Song Congfeng, who has gone to the battlefield and is not at home now, prefers to stick behind Song Zhi and call her his sister when he is at home.

In her previous life, if Song Zhi had not been so determined to separate Mu Qinghan and the others, the Song family would not have been hated and ended up like that.

Recalling those sad memories again, Song Zhi looked at Sun and Prime Minister Song with a firm gaze and said, "Dad, you two should hide behind the screen first. You will find out whether Song Yale is innocent or not in a moment."

She clearly remembered that Anya Song had come to see her at this time in her previous life and said a lot of fantastic things.

If she were to live her life again, she would definitely expose her "little white flower" mask as soon as possible.

Sure enough, not long after, the voice of the maid Xiao Tao was heard outside the door, "Miss, the eldest lady is here, would you like to see her?"

Xiao Tao is her personal maid and has always been loyal to her. Even in her previous life, Song Yale used extreme torture to never betray her, so Song Zhi is also particularly good to her in this life.

After hearing Xiao Tao's message, Song Zhi asked his parents to hide before nodding and saying, "Bring him in."

"Yes."

Xiao Tao retreated respectfully, and brought Song Yale in after a while.

Song Yale still looked so weak and pitiful. After entering, she deliberately pretended to be pretentious and knelt in front of Song Zhi, saying, "Sister, I'm sorry. I ruined your coming-of-age ceremony and marriage. I feel guilty."

Song Zhi didn't buy it and said playfully, "The mistake has already been made. What's the point of you kneeling down and saying sorry before me? If you truly know you're wrong, why not die as an apology? That would preserve your reputation as a virtuous person."

"To die as atonement?"

Song Yale didn't expect Song Zhi to say such a thing. Her expression froze for a long time before she said, "Sister, why are you so mean? I don't know where the love came from, but it's so deep. I know I'm sorry for you, but I really can't control my feelings."

"Am I mean?"

Song Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you think you were wrong and came to admit your mistake? You have to be sincere when admitting your mistake. Your knees are worthless. You can't just turn black into white and make me the one who's wrong."

Song Yale was stunned again. She always felt that Song Zhi was very strange now. If it were in the past, she would have helped her up long ago and would not have said such words to embarrass her.

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Song Yale's face, but she managed to keep her composure. She stood up and sat aside, pretending to be earnest.

"Sister, calm down. I know you're angry right now, but there's still room for improvement. I know you love Qinghan, so there's really no need to go to the point of breaking off the engagement."

She sighed, "We are both daughters of the Song family, so what if we share the same husband? As long as we sisters work together, whether before or after His Highness ascends the throne, we can occupy a place in the backyard. This is not a bad thing for the Song family."

Song Zhi couldn't help laughing. She thought that this lousy prince was such a hot commodity that they even shared a husband.

She already had the perfect match in her heart.

Just as he was about to fight back, he suddenly remembered that the purpose of today was to let his parents see Song Yale's true face, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "But there is only one position for the Crown Princess. What's the point of the two of us marrying in?"

When Song Yale heard Song Zhi ask this, she thought proudly that Song Zhi still had feelings for Mu Qinghan, so her tone unconsciously became a little relaxed.

"That's not a problem. I'm the eldest daughter, and according to the rules, I have to bear the title of Crown Princess. But don't worry, sister, it's just an empty title. Once we enter the Crown Prince's Mansion, our status will definitely be the same."

Song Zhi showed a meaningful expression and spoke in a long tone, "Oh, so, sister is here to persuade me to become the Crown Prince's concubine."
