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

Song Zhi looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, even if this place is gone, I can find a place for you to go."

Her eyes were gentle and firm, and her whole body looked radiant.

Inexplicably, everyone's uneasy hearts were calmed down.

They believed every word Song Zhi said.

If Song Zhi said there would be no problem, then there would definitely be no problem.

Everyone settled down and resumed their original pace of life.

The next day, the government officials arrived at the entrance of the alley on time.

Song Zhi stood calmly at the front and saw an extremely luxurious carriage parked not far away.

There were countless palace servants standing around the carriage, and even guards guarding it on both sides, which was enough to show the noble status of the people in the carriage.

The official who was delivering the message said, "Miss Song, the master invites you to have a chat at Zuiyue Tower."

Song Zhi had already guessed the other party's identity, so he refused and said, "No need, just say whatever you want here."

The officer looked embarrassed and looked hesitantly into the distance.

"But if I can't persuade you, I will be punished by you, please."

The officer's face was full of pleading.

Song Zhi frowned, and was about to complain about such a cheap way of risking his life, when his palm suddenly felt warm and someone held it, "Let's go, I'll go with you."

Mu Nanqi's eyes were fixed, and no emotion could be seen on his extremely handsome face.

The officer hesitated to speak. Song Zhibai glanced at him and said, "Do you still want me to go?"

The officer gritted his teeth and thought that it was better to have one more person go than to go back alone to report. There was no order when he came, so Song Zhi had to go alone. Anyway, he just had to complete the task.

"Okay, Miss Song, please."

The officer brought the two people to the carriage and said, "Sir, Miss Song has been brought here."

A soft voice came from inside, and the carriage curtain was opened from the inside, "Child, come up."

After he finished speaking, his face froze when he saw Mu Nanqi beside Song Zhi.

"Third brother."

Song Zhi chuckled and put his arm around Mu Nanqi's waist. "Your Highness, it's you. You asked me to come here, but you didn't say I couldn't bring my family."

Mu Yuanzhi's voice sounded a bit colder, "What kind of family member is he?"

Song Zhi said confidently, "My future husband, there should be no one in the whole capital who doesn't know about this."

Mu Yuanzhi's mouth twitched, "Child, don't make trouble."

"Who said I was fooling around? The Song family is big and powerful, and I need a husband like Aqi to help me manage it."

Song Zhi deliberately tightened his arms around Mu Nanqi's waist and took the opportunity to pinch him twice.

Mu Nanqi was amused by her little action, but Mu Yuanzhi's expression became even darker.

"Third brother, as the imperial envoy appointed by our father to handle the affairs of Gou'er Lane, discussing matters with Zhier is a serious matter. As an outsider, it is inconvenient for you to participate. You should go back and wait."

Song Zhi corrected him seriously, "Aqi is not an outsider, he is my soon-to-be-married son..."

"It's about to be married, but it's not yet married. This is not a good move. I think it's best to think about it."

Mu Yuanzhi interrupted with a gloomy look in his eyes, and a tone that said no room for negotiation.

Song Zhi's temper also flared up. "Your Highness, I don't have the full authority over Gou'er Lane. If you really want to discuss 'business,' you should talk to the real owner of Gou'er Lane."

After saying that, he angrily pulled Mu Nanqi back.

Mu Yuanzhi jumped off the carriage and said, "Zhi'er, you are the one who is in charge of Gou'er Lane. You are the one who brought the women in. I know it very well."

Song Zhi paused. "You may have only found half of it. I've only been in Gou'er Lane for a short time. Do you think I can really become the master of this place?"

Mu Yuanzhi added, "Even if it's not true, it's true that you hid so many women in there. Many families in the capital are in turmoil right now because their wives have run away from home. Although you suppressed the troublemakers so that the emperor still doesn't know about this, the truth will eventually come out. Don't force me to tell the emperor about this."

Song Zhi turned around angrily, "Are you threatening me?"

"Child, I just want to have a meal with you."

Song Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, first of all, I didn't hide those girls. They all followed me voluntarily to make a living. Secondly, even if the emperor knew about this, would he really tie them up and take them home to live a life worse than pigs and dogs?"

Seeing that Song Zhi was really angry, Mu Yuanzhi quickly said, "That's not what I meant."

"It doesn't matter even if you mean that, because you can't threaten me."

The emperor cares most about his reputation. At least on the surface, he will not excessively manage other people's household affairs, nor will he force a large number of women to do things against their will and cause gossip.

It’s just that for her, if the emperor knew what she did, he would pay more attention to her, and she would become more passive.

A hint of helplessness rose in Mu Yuanzhi's eyes, "Do you think I'm a mean person like this?"

Song Zhi didn't want to dwell on this and pointed to a tea stall not far away. "See that? If Your Highness is willing to condescend, I can sit down and chat with you there."

Mu Yuanzhi's expression lit up with joy, and he agreed without even thinking, "Okay."

Song Zhi patted Mu Nanqi's hand and said, "Aqi, wait for me here first. I'll be back soon."

Mu Nanqi nodded, his eyes full of doting, "Okay."

Song Zhi walked away slowly.

She didn't notice that after she left, a group of children passed by Mu Nanqi while playing, and took the opportunity to slip a piece of letter into his hand without leaving any trace.

Mu Nanqi frowned and crushed it into powder with his internal energy without even looking at it.

On the other side, Song Zhi and Mu Yuanzhi had already arrived at the tea stall and sat down.

The boss naturally knew that the two men were of noble status, and he tremblingly found the store's best tea and brewed it for them.

Mu Yuanzhi took a sip of tea, frowned and put the teacup back to its place.

"Child, I know what you want to do."

Song Zhi's heart tightened, but he remained calm and said, "Then Your Highness, tell me what I want to do?"

Mu Yuanzhi said, "You just feel that women have a hard time in life and want to give them a place to settle down, but there are so many women suffering in the world. Child, can you save them all?"

Hearing this, Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought he knew she was planning a rebellion.

"If I can't save them all, I'll just save them one by one. If I save one more, there will be one less woman suffering in this world, right?"

Her tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

Mu Yuanzhi said: "Please forgive my selfishness. I was the one who asked my father to let me negotiate with the people in Gou'er Lane. I know there are many masters in there who are impossible to rectify, but at least this gives me a reason to come to you, right?"

Song Zhicheng said sincerely: "Your Highness, it would be better if you could use your thoughts elsewhere. I will marry Aqi soon."

"No, can you wait for me a little longer?"

Mu Yuanzhi suddenly became excited and wanted to hold her hand, but she quickly dodged him.
