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

Song Chenfeng: “…”

Song Zhi's smile did not fade. "Do you believe what I said?"

Song Chenfeng shook his head.

His sister is not a short-sighted woman. If she really abused her power for personal gain, he would not be an ordinary soldier now.

Thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Sister, why don't you let Xie Ting and the others come."

Song Zhi didn't turn around. "I asked you to do this because you are suitable. Why are you belittling yourself?"

"Am I suitable?"

Song Chenfeng didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Song Zhi said, "Do you think maintaining order is just about keeping the people stable? You must be aware of who the real people in a city are."

Every city is a complex web of various powerful families, and these talents are the most important factor in determining the development of a city.

Although she was not afraid of these forces after taking over Liucheng, coercion was never the best strategy.

Only by letting them become a community of interests can we maintain stable control over this place.

She has said more than once that although Sun had neglected her since she was a child, she had nothing to say about Song Chenfeng.

When he was very young, Song Chenfeng was trained as the heir to the Song family.

He understood all the twists and turns involved in dealing with these aristocratic families.

Compared to Xie Ting and Meng Qi, he is indeed the most suitable person to do this.

Song Chenfeng quickly understood what Song Zhi meant. His eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll try it then."

In front of his family, Song Chenfeng never hides his emotions.

Song Zhi then turned around and looked at him, "Okay, let A-luan stay with you. She's a girl, so you should take good care of her. Otherwise, be careful that Daddy and Aunt Xie will come after you when you get back."

When Song Chenfeng heard the word "Aluan", he was suddenly speechless.

He stood there for a long time, "There are differences between men and women. It's not appropriate for me to take her with me."

"What's wrong with you being her brother?"

"He's not my biological brother."

Song Zhi frowned, somewhat puzzled. "What are you upset about? Could it be because A-Luan called you autistic again?"

"of course not."

Song Chenfeng raised his head suddenly and said, "I just think she's doing well in the military camp. She doesn't need me to guide her."

Song Zhi wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Song Chenfeng's embarrassed look, he swallowed the words back.

"Okay, if you don't want to bring it, forget it."

She would find some time to let Xie Ting take care of Alua. Alua was her younger sister, and she always cared about her more.

Seeing that Song Zhi did not force it, Song Chenfeng also breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his head and said, "That's it. I'll go down and prepare to contact those aristocratic families."

As she was about to leave, she took a step forward when a pink purse suddenly fell out of her arms.

Song Zhi picked it up quickly, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

There is a lifelike lotus embroidered on the purse with delicate stitches.

Before Song Zhi could say anything, Song Chenfeng snatched the purse back from her.

His face flushed red. "I'm leaving."

"and many more!"

Song Zhi pulled him back and asked, "Who gave this to you?"

Song Chenfeng wanted to make up a story, but after thinking about it, he realized there was no need to lie, so he told the truth: "Cuihua."

"Cuihua?"

Song Zhi didn't expect that two people who had nothing in common would have an intersection. She remembered that when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, the soldiers often made jokes about Cuihua and Xie Ting.

In the end, Cuihua didn't fall for Xie Ting but fell for her own brother instead?

Not to mention, my brother is better looking than Xie Ting, the type that attracts little girls.

Song Chenfeng nodded distractedly, "Yeah."

Song Zhi became interested and pulled him back to sit, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Song Chenfeng didn't want to hide his sister, so he answered: "I accidentally saved her once on the battlefield before, and it was that time that she felt a little close to me."

She had always been nice to him silently before, but just yesterday, she specially gave him this purse to show her love.

Originally, Song Chenfeng had no intention of accepting the purse. After all, accepting the purse had a different meaning.

But after Cuihua finished speaking, she took out her purse, stuffed it into his arms and ran away. He had no time to refuse.

When he chased out, he saw Aluan standing at the corner.

As usual, she held the sledgehammer in her hand and silently glanced at Cuihua's back.

At such a close distance, Alua must have heard what was said just now.

He subconsciously stopped and wanted to see Aluan's expression, but Aluan had no expression at all and just walked away from him.

This delay also meant that he missed the opportunity to catch up with Cuihua.

Song Chenfeng held the purse as if it were a hot potato, thinking about finding a suitable time to return it to Cuihua.

After all, she is a girl, so we have to give her some face.

Although he thinks Cuihua is good, he seems to have not considered taking the next step yet.

Unexpectedly, the purse fell in front of Song Zhi before it was returned.

After hearing what Song Chenfeng said, Song Zhi showed a meaningful expression, "Brother, honestly, how do you view your relationship with A Luan?"

Song Chenfeng sighed, "That little firecracker is the most difficult to deal with. Sigh, I'd better stay away from her."

He himself didn't notice that when he said this, there was a deep sense of loss in his eyes.

Are you disappointed that A-luan didn't react yesterday?

he does not know.

I can't tell the difference.

Alua was the personality type he disliked the most. She was sharp-tongued and didn't show him any mercy. Most importantly, she would only be coming of age next year and was five years younger than him.

Whenever he had any evil thoughts, he felt that he was not a human being.

There's nothing to lose in a relationship like this.

He put away his purse and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I know what's going on."

Song Zhi expressed doubts about this. If he really knew, he wouldn't be so worried.

"If I were you, I would face my heart."

That was all she had to say.

Song Chenfeng didn't understand her hidden meaning, "Don't worry, I always make decisions based on my heart."

Having said that, Song Chenfeng stood up and walked out.

Looking at his back, Song Zhi shook his head helplessly and murmured softly.

"You better be."

There are some things that she cannot say because she is not the person involved.

Even if it was revealed, Song Chenfeng might not admit it because of his stubborn attitude.

After thinking about it carefully, Song Zhi decided to let them take their own course.

However, after handing over the task of maintaining stability in Liucheng to Song Chenfeng, he indeed made use of his strengths and contacted various major forces.

He did a very good job. The major forces were afraid of Song Zhi's strength, and they also knew how to judge the situation and took the opportunity to step down.

Except for the few hundred people who left overnight, the people in the city were living more and more peacefully.

They confirmed that the Empress was not a person who said one thing in public and another in private, and would not do anything against them. She was completely different from the image in the rumors.

So everyone began to feel guilty for following the trend and slandering others, and sent gifts to the City Lord's Mansion to express their apologies.

When the situation was good, Zhang Liu came back.
