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

"I want you to marry me."

Wang Lanzhi's eyes were full of calculation. "If I marry you, I will share honor and disgrace with you. Naturally, I will protect the Song family wholeheartedly."

Song Zhi curled his lips and smiled, "Why should I believe that you have the ability to compete with the Tian Family?"

"You have no choice but to depend on me."

Wang Lanzhi was confident, "If the deposed prince was still alive, the emperor would still want you to marry him, but now the emperor thinks you killed the deposed prince. Do you think you still have a chance to survive?"

Song Zhi's eyes did not change. He raised his hand, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and did not refute.

She had figured out why Wang Lanzhi came to her and said these things.

It's just for rights.

Wang Lanzhi is now the prime minister and seems to be in a very glorious position, but in fact it is just a facade.

He had no power or background of his own, and most of the senior officials in the court did not submit to him.

Everyone respected him on the surface, but it was just to give the emperor face.

If he wanted to gain a foothold, the quickest way was to marry a girl from a noble family.

However, none of the old foxes in the court were willing to marry their daughter to him, so he had to set his sights on Song Zhi.

The Song family is in a bad situation right now. He feels that the olive branch he throws out is like a life-saving straw for the Song family, and he will never disagree with this matter.

Wang Lanzhi said proudly: "Don't worry, I am the emperor's confidant. If I can say such a thing, I will definitely be able to do it."

Song Zhi put down his teacup and said calmly, "Of course I believe it, but I have no plans to get married for the time being. I appreciate your kindness, sir."

"Besides, the Emperor is wise and will definitely not do anything that would disappoint this old minister."

Wang Lanzhi had never thought that he would be rejected. His smile froze on his face. "You don't agree?!"

Song Zhi smiled sweetly, "Your Excellency is a man of heaven, and there will definitely be a better choice."

Wang Lanzhi's face turned ugly, "Song Zhi, don't be shameless."

Seeing the other party tearing off the skin, Song Zhi simply stopped pretending and sneered: "Sir, if you put it nicely, I am the Prime Minister. If you put it bluntly, I am no different from a powerful eunuch. I don't deserve the face you give me."

"You're comparing me to a eunuch!"

These words undoubtedly touched his lungs, and Wang Lanzhi slammed the table and stood up, "Believe it or not, I will kill you right now."

"Even the Emperor doesn't dare to kill me right now, and you want to kill me now, how shameless of you to do that."

"I won't argue with you, just wait."

In the end, Wang Lanzhi angrily waved his sleeves and left.

Song Zhi's eyes darkened, but he did not stand up to save the situation.

Wang Lanzhi is not a good person. If you cooperate with him, you will most likely be backstabbed. It is hard to guard against it, so it is better to make the hostility public.

Besides, she didn't want to marry him. If she were to live her life over again, how could she be so naive as to sacrifice her own marriage and pin her hopes on someone else?

Of course, it is better to hold the kite string in your own hands.

Just as she was thinking about it, Song Yang hurried over and shouted before entering the door: "Daughter, I heard from the servants that you angered Prime Minister Wang and ran away?"

His face was full of anxiety, and he no longer looked sad.

"This man is sinister, petty, and vindictive. Why would you mess with him?"

Song Zhiqi was calm and composed, "He wants me to marry him."

Song Yang was stunned for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and cursed, "What?! He dares to covet my daughter, even if he is a toad. Don't let me see him entering the Song Mansion next time. If he does, I will beat him up."

Song Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Well, I scolded him away."

"Good scolding."

Song Yang was still not satisfied, "I'm just a dog by the emperor's side, but I really think I'm a dish."

Song Zhi deliberately teased, "Aren't you afraid now that he'll be treacherous and vindictive?"

"What are you afraid of? If you dare to have any ideas about my daughter, I will never forgive him."

"I've offended him today, and he won't let it go. Daddy, please pay more attention to his movements in the future."

Song Zhi reminded him solemnly that she would send a few secret guards to keep an eye on the matter when she returned to the yard.

After that, she changed the subject, "What are you going to do about the Sun family?"

Song Yang knew that some things could not be hidden, and he had no intention of hiding them.

Sitting next to Song Zhi, he recounted his experiences from his youth.

"It's also my fault for being young and impulsive and drinking a few more glasses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Yinyin down."

Song Yang looked very sad. After he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was inappropriate and said seriously: "No matter how your mother and I got married, the arrival of you and your brother is the best gift from heaven to me. I am willing to protect you with my life."

Even if he didn't say it, Song Zhi had no doubt about it.

His love has always been evident.

What she couldn't put into words was, "Sun actually ended up with you like this."

For her own happiness, Sun resorted to despicable means to break up others.

It turns out that the reason why my father has been chaste and never taken a concubine all these years is not because he only loves Sun, but because he has a white moonlight in his heart that he loves but cannot get, and he is full of regret.

This white moonlight occupies most of the space in his heart, so there is no room for anyone else.

Song Zhi didn't know what to say to comfort Song Yang, but she supported any decision Song Yang made.

"Zhi'er, Daddy is going to send her out of the capital and then bring Yinyin back. If you mind..."

"I wouldn't mind."

Song Zhi said softly, "It's better to send Sun away from the capital so that she won't be around me all the time. As for the person you truly love, it's not too late to make amends now. Can I call her Aunt Xie?"

"of course."

Song Yang's voice choked up, "I'm really happy that you understand me so well."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Then you should hurry up. Life is short. Don't keep Aunt Xie waiting."

"well."

Song Yang looked at the horizon with longing. He had been looking forward to their reunion for more than ten years.

Now, the wait is finally coming.

For the next two days, Song Zhi and Song Yang were busy with their own things.

Song Zhi was busy planning other branches of Yunshui Youyou and writing a letter to Aunt Xin asking her not to come back for the time being and to cooperate with Mu Nanqi's people to try to control the border troops.

Song Yang was busy preparing to pick up the things Xie Yinyin needed for the journey and arranging Sun's whereabouts.

I don’t know what method Song Yang used, but in the end, Sun agreed to leave the capital so easily.

Song Zhi was very surprised, and at the same time he felt his whole body lighten.

During this period, Cang Jing came to see her and expressed his admiration for her story about communicating with Madam Cang.

He said that now he can finally pursue true love openly and without any scruples.

Song Zhi thought about Liu Ruoyu, who had sealed her heart and locked up her love, and looked at Cang Qiong with pity, "I wish you good luck."

Cang Qiong really took this as encouragement and said foolishly that if he married Liu Ruoyu, he would make an exception and ask her to be the master of ceremonies.

Song Zhi couldn't bear to pour cold water on him, so he just suggested that he should pursue true love and not go to Yunshui Youyou to fool around.

After all, those childish behaviors not only delayed Yunshui Youyou from making money, but also easily made Madam Cang lose face, thus touching the bottom line and pulling him back.
