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

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Brother, your face..."

"I did."

Ah Luan frankly admitted, "It's because I left my hammer at the martial arts gym. If it was my hammer, how could it only cause such a minor injury?"

Song Zhi's expression was indescribable. "Why did you hit him?"

The mention of Ah Luan made her furious. "Sister, you don't know. Today, as soon as I left the house, I saw him sneaking around outside my yard. That's fine, but after I caught him, he actually ignored me and just stood there, ignoring me completely. I couldn't stand it. I punched him right there."

Ah Luan nodded smugly, "Fists are the best. He immediately behaved himself."

Song Chenfeng defended himself aggrievedly, "Who treated you like air? I just... just..."

"Just what? You ignored me even though I was air. I waved my hands in front of you several times but you didn't react."

Song Chenfeng's face flushed slightly, "That's...that's..."

Song Zhi couldn't bear to watch any longer and answered quickly, "Is it possible that he was just stunned by your outfit today?"

"impossible."

"How can it be."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Ah Luan snorted coldly, "He always calls me a little firecracker, and says that since I'm so fierce, no one will dare to marry me in the future. How could he be surprised by me?"

Song Chenfeng took over the conversation, "That's right, I'm not blind, how could I be amazed by her."

Song Zhi was speechless.

Oh my God, who understands.

"good very good."

Song Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I'll go in and pay my respects. You two can do whatever you want."

Song Chenfeng was about to follow in, but A Luan stepped on his instep and pushed him in front.

Song Chenfeng's face suddenly twisted in pain, "Hiss, even if you don't recognize me as your brother, I am still your teacher. You beat me up and kick me at every turn, showing no respect for your teacher at all. Believe it or not, I will turn against you."

"Who are you going to turn against?"

Suddenly, Song Yang came out with Xie Yinyin.

Both of them looked radiant today, with happy smiles on their faces.

Xie Yinyin said, "We heard your voices a long time ago, but we didn't see you come in. We were worried so we thought of coming out to check."

Song Chenfeng touched his nose and said, "Who would I dare to turn against? I have figured out that I have the lowest status in this family."

Song Yang nodded. "Yes, you finally have a clear understanding of yourself. If you dare to bully your sister, I will punish you according to the family rules."

Song Chenfeng gave A Luan a complicated look, "How could I dare to bully her? Look at what she got beaten up by me."

"How did you get hurt so badly? Come, boil an egg and apply it to the young master."

Xie Yinyin glared at A-luan, "Why did you hit my brother again?"

Then Alua recounted the situation in a very moving voice.

After he finished speaking, he said confidently: "He was unreasonable first, so I took action."

As people who have experienced this, Song Yang and Xie Yinyin also sensed something unusual. They looked at each other with meaningful expressions.

Alua and Song Chenfeng were unaware of this and continued to bicker with each other.

Finally, Song Yang cleared his throat and said, "It's disgraceful to make so much noise outside. Come in."

The three of them went in together. After all, Mu Nanqi had not married her yet, so Mu Nanqi did not participate in the tea ceremony.

After serving tea, Xie Yinyin gave everyone a gift.

Song Chenfeng's was a powerful spear, while Alua and Song Zhi's were both emerald green jade hairpins.

After expressing their gratitude, several people took out their gifts.

When Xie Yinyin saw Song Zhi's complete set of priceless headwear, she waved her hands repeatedly.

"It would be better to leave such a valuable thing to you as your dowry. I am old and I don't have much use for it."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Aunt Xie, there's no need to refuse. This was specially selected for you. Just consider it a small token of my appreciation."

They had agreed beforehand that Song Zhi and Song Chenfeng would still call Xie Yinyin "Auntie Xie", while Alua would call Xie Yinyin and Song Yang "godmother and godfather".

After several persuasions, Xie Yinyin finally accepted the gift.

Everyone sat together happily eating breakfast, and Song Zhi also asked Xiaotao to send food over to Mu Nanqi.

After breakfast, everyone dispersed.

The marriage was over, and Song Zhi and Mu Nanqi returned to Gouer Lane.

As the weather gets colder, everyone starts to put on thicker clothes.

When going out, Xiaotao took the cloak and hand warmer and handed them to Song Zhi.

When Mu Nanqi was still the third prince, they had never taken such a leisurely walk together on the street to avoid suspicion.

Now that he no longer has the identity of the Third Prince, they are walking together openly.

The roadside snack stalls were emitting steam, and the vendors selling candied haws were shouting in a rhythmic voice.

Song Zhi smiled contentedly, enjoying this leisurely state very much.

However, when they returned to Gou'er Lane, Liu Ruoyu came up to them with a heavy face and said, "Child, for some reason the Dog Emperor has suddenly decided to clean up Gou'er Lane and has already sent officials to negotiate. Could it be that he knows something and is specifically suppressing us?"

"No, if he knew what we were doing, it would be more than just suppression."

Song Zhi's expression darkened. "Who are the officials sent here to negotiate?"

"I haven't seen him yet, but he seems to know that you're the boss here. He just sent his men to pass on the message. We'll discuss it again tomorrow after the boss returns."

Knowing that she is the one who calls the shots here...

Could it be that too many women have been introduced during this period and attracted someone's attention?

Song Zhi's mind was a little confused, but it was useless to think about it at the moment. He had to wait until he met the official tomorrow to know the general situation.

The women in the alley were all very worried, fearing that they would lose this paradise that they had worked so hard to obtain.

Everyone was worried and couldn't eat. The whole alley was shrouded in a depressed atmosphere.

Even those men don't want to change their current lives.

Now it is warm and prosperous here, which is much better than the dirty and messy days when we had no food to eat.

Seeing everyone in this situation, Song Zhi comforted everyone.

"Don't take it too seriously. There must be a reason why Dog Alley was formed. It has survived all these years and it won't fall down easily."

"What if the imperial court insists on suppressing it forcefully?"

"Even if they want to suppress it, there will be people who will stand up to them."

"Miss, you mean those in the first alley..."

"Yes."

Compared to them, those old monsters definitely don't want this place to be cleaned up even more.

The reason why Gouer Lane exists is not because of the Shadow Gate.

From the beginning to the end, the imperial court was wary of these old monsters with unfathomable martial arts and uncontrollable behavior. Instead of letting them go out to cause trouble, it is better to let them be free here.
