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

"So what happened in the end? The third place winner..."

"he died."

Song Zhi was halfway through asking when Liu Ruoyu calmly interrupted him.

But her clenched fingers showed that she was not as calm as she looked.

"I traveled all night, not daring to stop for even a moment. The day I finally reached the border of Le, I heard the news of his death."

"Jiang Li followed the clues all the way to find him, and then killed him."

"I didn't know he was willing to sacrifice his life for my freedom. If I had known, I wouldn't have left so decisively when we parted that day."

Liu Ruoyu took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm.

Song Zhi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Although she had never met Jiang Li, she had already begun to dislike this person.

No wonder Liu Ruoyu refused to say these things before, always saying that it was not the right time.

How could she, a daughter of an official family, stand up to the powerful Prime Minister of the State of Li?

"Ruoyu, I will fight with you to redeem your grievances."

Liu Ruoyu couldn't help but burst into tears. "There are very few people I feel sorry for in my life. Besides letting a wolf into the house, I also feel sorry for my relatives. Tanhualang is one of them, but I couldn't collect the bodies of any of them."

Since the day he met Liu Ruoyu, Song Zhi had never seen her cry.

"It must be very difficult."

Song Zhi hugged her, his eyes full of heartache.

"From now on, I will be with you. If you get into trouble, I will take the blame. If you kill someone, I will hand over the knife."

Liu Ruoyu pushed her and said, "Miss, it seems like I've been the one who took the blame and handed over the knife all along."

"Then I will be able to push and pass from now on."

"Forget it, I've finished my story. Anyway, you should know what I'm going to do."

After wiping away her tears and calming herself down, Liu Ruoyu said seriously.

Song Zhi nodded, "I understand. I will take down Tianqi first, and then help you take down Li. Then we can merge the two countries, and you can do whatever you want with Jiang Li."

Liu Ruoyu held her forehead and said, "You think this is just a child's game, that you can capture him just like that? Jiang Li is not that easy to deal with."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Well, I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere."

Of course she knew that Jiang Li was not easy to deal with, and the reputation of the Prime Minister of Li State had long spread to all the surrounding countries.

He was not only the youngest and most promising prime minister in history, with outstanding abilities and good planning skills, but also looked like a banished immortal and had a gentle and elegant personality.

The biggest wish of many princesses from other countries in their life is to go to the Kingdom of Li and marry Jiang Li.

But he has always been chaste and still has no wife or concubines in his house.

Everyone guessed that he was not interested in women, but only those close to him knew that he had been trying his best to have someone hold a portrait and look for the woman in the portrait.

As long as he heard any possible relevant news, he would rush over in person.

It was only today that Song Zhi realized that beneath his gentlemanly appearance, he hid a dirty and smelly heart, and he instantly felt that the rumors were indeed unreliable.

But no matter what, his abilities are indeed very strong.

Under his rule, the State of Li grew stronger and stronger, and no one dared to invade its borders for a long time.

Song Zhi said, "Don't show up in the capital anymore. Go live in Gou'er Lane first. It's safe and closed there. Jiang Li won't be able to find you for a while. Even if he does, he can't take you away from Tianqi for no reason."

Liu Ruoyu nodded, "Well, the current situation still requires time for us to resolve. It would be best if we don't run into Jiang Li."

The two hit it off immediately, and Liu Ruoyu packed her bags and followed Song Zhi to Gouer Lane.

As for Yunshui Youyou, she was handed over to Honghong.

Except for the newly recruited people, Liu Ruoyu already knew most of the people in Gouer Lane, so going there was like going back to her mother's home.

Everyone also liked the stunning Liu Ruoyu, and they cheered when she returned.

When Song Zhi returned, Mu Nanqi was also in the yard. She went over and asked, "Where did you go at noon today? I came looking for you but you were nowhere to be found."

Mu Nanqi said: "Of course I will prepare the betrothal gifts for you. Even if I want to marry into your family, I can't save on the betrothal gifts."

Song Zhi laughed, she snorted and said nothing more.

Because many more women were sent in, the originally empty alley was filled up again and looked very lively.

Liu Ruoyu had nothing to do, so she thought of teaching them martial arts.

Master Song was old-fashioned and conservative, and Master Qi seldom taught often. The arrival of Master Liu just happened to liberate the nature of those young girls.

Looking at Liu Ruoyu playing with everyone, Song Zhi secretly made up his mind that he would never let Jiang Li hurt her again.

On the other hand, the Song family's wedding preparations were in full swing. Song Zhi stayed in Gouer Lane for only two days before rushing back to help.

The next day, Song Chenfeng also brought A Luan back to the Song Mansion.

Alua has grown taller and gained some weight on her originally thin body, making her look no longer frail.

However, she still likes to dress like a man, but now her face is white and clean, so even if she dresses like a boy, she can be recognized as a girl at a glance.

A Luan originally wanted to go back to Xie Mansion, but because it was too late, Song Chenfeng was worried about her going back alone, so he brought her to Song Mansion.

Song Yang looked at the bustling Song Mansion and his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled.

Song Zhi realized later that after being with Sun for so many years, although his father had done his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and a father, he had never been so happy.

Now that he is about to marry Aunt Xie, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Song Zhi laughed and nudged Song Chenfeng with his shoulder, "Fortunately you came to your senses and turned back, otherwise I would have almost disowned you as my brother."

Song Chenfeng: “…”

Ah Luan came over to finish the attack, "Uncle Song said he almost disowned this son."

Song Chenfeng, "Okay, okay, you treat me like this, right? I won't hang up this red silk."

A-Luan calmly weighed the sledgehammer in her hand.

Song Chenfeng changed the subject and said, "I won't hang the red silk, I'll hang the lanterns."

Seeing Song Chenfeng jogging along, Song Zhi couldn't help but feel a little strange, "He seems to be afraid of you?"

Ah Luan puffed out her chest proudly, "That's right, I'm better than my teacher. Now he can't beat me anymore."

Song Zhi frowned. Although Aluan was talented, it was impossible for her to surpass her brother who had practiced martial arts every day for ten years in just a few months.

If he can't win, does that mean... he is deliberately losing.

Song Zhi showed a meaningful expression, "Aluan, do you think my brother has been acting strangely lately?"

Ah Luan thought for a moment, "Strange places? Yeah, yes, there are."

She suddenly thought of something and pulled Song Zhi aside and whispered, "He's been staring at me lately and hanging around me. He either practices swordplay in front of me or takes off his clothes and lifts rocks next to me."

Ah Luan lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think he is provoking me?"
