Song Xiwan picked up the dagger in his hand, flew towards the silk, and cut it cleanly.

The unconscious Song Lingxi fell heavily to the ground, with a hideous red mark on her fair neck.

The servant and the maid's legs went limp and they fell to the ground, not daring to say a word.

Is the young lady dead?

Then they will be doomed too.

Song Xiwan glanced at them coldly and ordered Song Lingxi's personal maid, "Why don't you quickly go and ask a doctor to save your young mistress?"

"what?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, then realized that the young lady was not dead yet!

But what does Song Xiwan mean?

The maid didn't have time to think about it and crawled out.

The servant was so angry that he wanted to escape from this damn place as soon as possible!

As soon as he looked up, he met Song Xiwan's cold eyes, which scared him so much that he quickly lowered his head and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Don't worry, Miss Song. I will keep today's events a secret and will not tell anyone."

"No, you have to say it."

Song Xiwan shook her head, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all.

The servant was still confused and couldn't understand what Miss Song meant.

Until Song Xiwan continued, "My sister was unlucky and married the wrong man. She was abused by Zhang Kunling day and night. She was covered in scars and could not bear the humiliation. So she died in this teahouse today. As her elder sister, I happened to know about this and saved her. Do you understand?"

The servant's eyes widened!

What is this secret?

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he nodded quickly, "Yes, Miss Song, this is a great and righteous matter, I will definitely let everyone know."

"Go ahead, go visit the storyteller more often and let people know about my sister's suffering. You will definitely benefit from it when the matter is resolved."

Song Xiwan's eyes were calm, as if she really wanted to seek justice for Song Lingxi.

But the servant knew that if this scandal got out, the Zhang family's reputation would be damaged, so how could he let Song Lingxi go?

Miss Song’s trick is really clever!

Forget it, it’s the young lady’s fault for being so useless.

As soon as the servant left, Song Xiwan rested for a while and then got up to go to the examination venue. When he passed by Song Lingxi, he glanced down at her with a cold expression.

"Don't worry, your hard times have just begun."

Before long, the news that Zhang Kunlingling had abused Song Lingxi and caused her to hang herself spread throughout the capital.

I heard that the Song family reported the matter to the police and had Zhang Kunling taken away. However, not long after, Song Kangwen ran over to clarify that this was not the case.

However, there was a doctor's testimony that Song Lingxi had multiple injuries on her body, which meant that everything Song Kangwen said was false. Moreover, Song Lingxi had already been married, so how could he, as a father, know so much?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Song Kangwen was trying to save the marriage with the Zhang family, which made him despised by many people. He was not as caring as Song Xiwan, the elder sister.

At this time, Song Xiwan was writing his answers furiously.

Luckily, they were all content she had seen before.

When the imperial examination was over, Song Xiwan walked out and found that the entire Shangjing City was already talking about Song Lingxi's affairs with relish.

This guy really works hard to spread the word.

Su Xunyao had known for a long time that Song Lingxi's plan had failed, and she was very angry. When she saw Song Xiwan again, there was a smile on her lips, and she couldn't hold back her anger.

"Sister Xiwan, you seem to be in a good mood?"

Song Xiwan asked calmly, "Why? Didn't Prime Minister Su ask you to stop bothering me?"

When Su Xunyao mentioned his grandfather, his expression became even more distorted!

She gritted her teeth and said, "What on earth did you say to my grandfather that day?"

Song Xiwan smiled lightly, "Guess."

"Song Xiwan!"

Su Xunyao was really fed up with the feeling of being helpless with Song Xiwan. She wanted to kill her with a knife for daring to make her angry again!

Song Xiwan just found it funny and whispered a warning back, "Why do you always have to ask for trouble? I haven't even settled the score with you for what you did. Do you think I can't find out because you killed that Persian merchant?"

Su Xunyao's body stiffened.

How did Song Xiwan know this?

Song Xiwan chuckled and asked, "And if the whole world knew about you instigating Song Lingxi, you would be the one being criticized today, right?"

Su Xunyao felt a chill in her heart and fear flashed in her eyes.

If this is discovered, not even her grandfather can protect her!

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I think when you fall from the clouds into the mud and everyone tramples on you a few times, you should wake up."

Song Xiwan spoke in a very soft voice, and only two people could hear what he said.

Every word was like a heavy stone hitting Su Xunyao's heart, and the ripples it caused made her so suffocated that she could hardly breathe.

When she came to her senses, Song Xiwan had already walked away.

"Are you okay, miss?"

The Su family's maid came over to support her, looking worried.

Su Xunyao suppressed her panic and said coldly, "I'm going to kill her."

In the past, she only wanted to destroy Song Xiwan and let everyone see Song Xiwan's ugly side, but now she found that Song Xiwan knew too much.

Must die!

The maid's heart trembled, and she couldn't believe what her usually gentle and generous girl said.

Su Xunyao left coldly, with a plan in mind.

Song Xiwan was also on his way back to the Song Mansion.

After the imperial examination, she wanted to go and see how her elder brother was doing. He should be feeling better now, right?

But as soon as I got back, I heard my second uncle yelling, "Lingxi is my daughter, there's no need for you to pretend to report her to the police! Big brother, withdraw the lawsuit right now!"

"I don't know about reporting the matter to the police, but the doctor himself said Lingxi had dozens of scars on her body. Are you just going to ignore it?"

Song Wenyi shouldn't have been bothered by the matter of the second house anymore. What happened today was truly horrifying!

How dare the Zhang family do that?

Moreover, this second brother didn't feel sorry for Song Lingxi at all, and even asked him to find a way to settle the matter.

Lingxi was wrong, but that’s not a reason for Zhang Kunling to abuse his wife like that!

Song Kangwen was annoyed. "The authorities said that it was Xi Wan who reported the case. Tell her to drop the case and stop causing trouble for me."

Song Xiwan continued to walk inside and said calmly, "Second Uncle's words are really sad. Is it wrong for me to feel sorry for my sister?"

When Song Kangwen heard her voice, he became even angrier!

"You're not feeling sorry for her, you're deliberately ruining her marriage! You even want to ruin our second wife's good life. Your heart is blacker than ink!"

"Snapped--"

Song Wenyi couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Song Kangwen on the back of the head.

He cursed, "You conscienceless thing, get out of here!"

Song Kangwen seemed to be used to being beaten. He was not angry at this moment, but just kept reasoning, "We have already separated. Why does your eldest wife have the right to interfere in the affairs of my second wife!"

Song Wenyi laughed angrily, "You know now that the family has been divided. How come you didn't remember when you were in debt from gambling and stole things from your mother to get money?"

"That was in the past! I will never set foot in this house again!"

Song Kangwen stiffened his neck and spoke out loudly.

Song Xiwan stopped his father and asked with a faint smile, "Second Uncle, have you thought it over? Do you really want me to withdraw the lawsuit?"
