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

The next day.

Song Zhi received a secret letter from the Eastern Palace's spy. Her eyes grew colder as she read the contents of the letter.

Xiao Tao asked, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

Song Zhi shook his head. "Nothing has happened yet, but it will happen soon."

As she spoke, she ground some ink, picked up her pen, and wrote a letter, handing it to Xiao Tao. "Send this to the Cang Mansion, and make sure you hand it to Cang Qiong personally."

"Okay." Xiao Tao solemnly picked up the letter and went out.

Song Zhi couldn't help but sigh. This was all Song Yale was capable of.

She stayed at Qingfengyuan all day and copied the Diamond Sutra.

Song Yang's birthday is coming soon. She has not yet chosen a suitable gift, but she can copy the Diamond Sutra for blessing first.

At night, the whole sky was pitch black, without a trace of moonlight.

Song Zhi and Xiao Tao sat by the bed, completely unable to sleep. Xiao Tao was a little nervous, "Miss, will the Crown Princess really send someone to attack us?"

"Whether it will or not, we'll find out soon. If you're scared, just hide aside."

"No, I'm not afraid. I still have to protect the young lady."

Xiao Tao's voice was trembling. She was obviously a little scared, but she forced herself not to retreat.

Even besides being afraid, there was also a hint of excitement.

Song Zhi raised her eyebrows. This girl's personality was completely different from that of her previous life because of what she had raised her to have.

If it were in her previous life, she would have been frightened out of her wits.

"I don't need your protection. Just remember to protect yourself at any time."

Song Zhi rubbed her head, a faint smile on his lips.

"Clap."

During the pause in the conversation, a voice suddenly rang out in the yard.

Song Zhi quickly made a hushing gesture and pulled Xiao Tao to pretend to lie down on the bed and sleep soundly.

After a while, sporadic footsteps were heard outside the door.

There was smoke blowing in.

Song Zhi signaled Xiaotao to hold her breath. Soon, the door was opened from the outside and several dark shadows flashed into the room.

They came to Song Zhi's bed, raised their daggers and stabbed her cleanly and neatly.

However, at the moment the dagger fell, Song Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and rolled to the side, and the dagger missed and pierced deeply into the quilt.

The man in black realized that something was wrong and quickly pulled out his dagger and continued to stab Song Zhi. Song Zhi dodged again, stood up and jumped to the center of the room.

Just as the man in black was about to take action, Xiaotao, who had been pretending to be unconscious, stood up, picked up the vase next to her and smashed it hard at the other men in black.

"You didn't even faint!"

Several men in black avoided the vase and their expressions changed. They looked at each other, their gazes becoming increasingly fierce. "It's no use if you're not unconscious. I wanted to kill you quickly. Since you're not unconscious, then die awake."

Xiao Tao stood beside Song Zhi warily, "Pah, it's still uncertain who will die."

"Miss, didn't you say that we have someone protecting us in secret? Where are they?"

Song Zhi frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, at this time, the secret guards that Mu Nanqi left for her should have come out, but the situation was tense and those secret guards did not show up.

She was a little uncertain. After all, those were the people Mu Nanqi had sent to monitor her, and she was not 100% sure that they would protect her.

So she asked Xiaotao to take a letter to Cangjian to come and help.

Judging from the time, Cang Jian should have arrived by now.

But Cang Jian did not show up either.

A bad premonition welled up in his heart. Song Zhi calmed down and whispered, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Xiao Tao, use the last method I taught you."

Fortunately, she was reborn and understood that it is better to control her own life than to put it in the hands of others.

So even if the situation changes now, she still has a backup plan.

After hearing this, Xiao Tao ran over without thinking and pulled the rope on the wall. In a flash, there was a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound, and countless poisonous darts flew towards the middle of the room from all directions.

Song Zhi and Xiao Tao had already squatted on the ground to hide, but the men in black were unable to react in time and almost all of them were hit by the darts. Even the ones with the fastest reaction were scratched by the darts.

"Damn bitch!"

The men in black were immediately enraged and rushed towards Song Zhi with red eyes.

Song Zhi pushed Xiao Tao behind him and stepped forward to deal with the situation, using his mediocre kung fu to the utmost.

Fortunately, the poison in their bodies took effect quickly, and they fell to the ground and died after a few moves.

Song Zhi grimaced and waved her hands. When she had just dealt with the last man in black, she punched him and almost died on the spot due to the pain.

Xiao Tao felt extremely distressed and kicked the black-clad man's body a few times as a way of venting her anger.

Just as the two were relaxing, there was movement outside the yard again, and countless footsteps sounded in the dark night.

Xiao Tao's face turned pale. "Miss, have you prepared any other mechanisms?"

Song Zhi was so depressed that he forgot to shake his hands. "You are more familiar with this room than I am. Tell me if there is anything else."

Xiao Tao had a sad face, "Miss..."

With a 'bang', the door was kicked open.

A tall figure appeared at the door, and Song Zhi immediately took a defensive stance.

"Miss Song? Miss Song, are you okay?"

The man rushed in hurriedly, looked around anxiously, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Song Zhishi was intact, "You're okay, that's great."

Song Zhi relaxed when he saw the newcomer's appearance and said dissatisfiedly, "Master Cang, why did you come just now?"

The person who came was Cang Jian, and behind him stood a dense crowd of secret guards.

He covered his eyes with one hand and walked awkwardly to the table and sat down, looking at the bodies of the men in black in disbelief. "Did you two do all this?"

"if not."

Song Zhi rolled his eyes, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Cang Qiong coughed dryly twice, "Let's not talk about this. As for you, luckily you're fine, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to Nan Qi."

He sighed and said, "Actually, I brought some people here early in the morning, but when I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I found that the secret guards that Nan Qi had left for you were already fighting a group of men in black, so I joined them."

"Who knew there would be more and more of these men in black? And their martial arts skills are ridiculously strong. They are far more than ordinary killers. If I hadn't brought people to the scene, I'm afraid the secret guards would have been outnumbered."

"After finally dealing with those people, I discovered that a killer had slipped in. I was really scared."

"Your former elder sister is quite capable. She was able to find a killer of this caliber to kill you."

Cang Qiong sighed twice and poured himself a cup of tea with one hand to calm himself down.

"You said that many men in black came, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts."

Song Zhi sensed something was wrong. Even though Song Yale was now the Crown Princess, she was definitely not capable of doing this. The most she could do was to find the men in black in her room.

"Yes, if you were an ordinary guard, you would have been killed by the sword long ago. Be thankful that you know me and Nan Qi."

Song Zhi's eyes dimmed, "Are there any survivors left?"

"No, they committed suicide by taking poison when they were about to be defeated and captured. You don't know, those people swallowed the poison without blinking, they..."
