After having lunch, Song Ruozhen went to the Liu family's house.

From afar, one could see that the Liu family's gate was bustling with activity, with quite a few people coming and going. As one got closer, one could hear exclamations of praise.

"Master Tianshui's skills are truly extraordinary. Do you remember that Zhao's grandson has been crying incessantly lately? No matter how many doctors we've seen, nothing has helped. His health is deteriorating and he's on the verge of death. But Master Tianshui's intervention cured him instantly!"

"That's right! My nephew has been having a lot of bad luck in business lately, and he almost lost all his family fortune. But after inviting a God of Wealth back from the Tianshui Master, his business is now booming and getting better and better!"

"I wonder how much the Liu family spent to bring Master Tianshui back. They're definitely going to prosper in the future."

Hearing these envious voices, Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. She would go and meet this Master Tianshui to see if he was really capable!

As she entered the Liu family mansion, she saw the servants arranging the feng shui according to Master Tianshui's instructions, and a cold laugh escaped her lips.

The original feng shui of the Liu family was quite good, but after this arrangement, it's become a mess. Does this guy not know how to read feng shui, or does he have a grudge against the Liu family?

"Ruozhen, didn't you just break off your engagement? Why are you back?" Liu Yiming, the eldest son of the Liu family, asked in surprise. "I've already heard about what happened at the Lin Marquis's residence, and you..."

"Cousin, you don't know this. Although Song Ruozhen broke off the engagement herself, she still had the idea of ​​marrying off her maid. What's so surprising that she came to the Liu family today?"

She's completely lost face now, and out of resentment, she's started targeting those around her. Be careful of this vicious woman; don't blame me if she drags you down with her!

Song Ruozhen turned to look at Sun Hanfei, who was making sarcastic remarks. As expected of Sun Yan'er's brother, the two siblings were exactly the same. Just looking at his face made her want to slap him.

"Snapped!"

Song Ruozhen not only thought this way, she also did it.

"You dare to hit me?"

Sun Hanfei stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Song Ruozhen had always been a lady from a prestigious family and never laid a hand on anyone. In the past, he had spoken even more outrageously than he had now, always infuriating Song Ruozhen to the point of near death, but she could only endure it with red eyes. Today, he actually dared to hit him!

"Cousin, I think you're not thinking straight. I'll slap you to wake you up!"

Now that Lin Hou has wronged me, it is only right that I break off the engagement. You can't even understand this basic thing before spouting nonsense and ruining my reputation. Shouldn't you be punished?

"I am the daughter of the Song family, and my father is the Marquis of Pingyang. You keep accusing me of being a viper, but how dare you make such baseless accusations without any evidence?"

Song Ruozhen's eyes were cold. The Sun family was just a fifth-rank official, and their status was far inferior to that of the Song family. It was only because her mother did not like to make a fuss that they had been very tolerant of them when they met.

But now she doesn't have the original owner's good temper. She comes up to her and makes sarcastic remarks, so naturally she won't let him get away with it!

"When did I slander you? Pei Lan only misspoke, and you still let her become Steward Liu's concubine. What is that if not vicious?"

"Don't all the personal maids of wealthy families eventually find a good ending? You directly made her a concubine, sent her over that very night without even a title—isn't that wicked?"

Sun Hanfei was furious. He had brought his friends to the Liu family to see Master Tianshui, but he didn't expect to hear his mother and the housekeeper talking and to see that Song Ruozhen had also come. He couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks, but Song Ruozhen seemed to have changed her mind and slapped him.

“Cousin, I know you’ve always been a bit dim-witted. Pei Lan betrayed me and took money from others. She’s my aunt, the maid your mother gave her!”

I didn't make a big deal out of it to save my aunt's face, and now you're blaming me for it? I've been so tolerant of you all this time, but you still want to frame me? Well then, I'd better make things clear!

Sun Hanfei's friends naturally knew Song Ruozhen. As one of the top young ladies in the capital, she had managed the entire Linhou Mansion for the past two years, turning the originally dilapidated Linhou Mansion into a thriving place. Before, everyone who saw her would praise her.

Yesterday's events have spread throughout the entire capital, and opinions vary. Some think that Lord Lin is a heartless man, while others think that Song Ruozhen is too petty.

Marriage is no joke. The bridal sedan chair had already arrived at the gate, and she just said she wouldn't get married. Moreover, Sun Hanfei kept saying that she was vicious, so everyone had a bad impression of her. No one expected that there was such a thing behind it.

"How can this be?"

When Sun Hanfei saw that everyone's gaze towards him had changed, his face turned ugly. But how could Pei Lan have been bribed?

"Speaking of which, I'd like to ask you about this, cousin. Isn't Pei Lan quite close to you? Is that why you stood up for a maid?"

"The person who bribed her was Qin Shuangshuang. I heard you have a good relationship with Qin Shuangshuang's second brother. Could it be that you're involved too? Otherwise, why would Qin Shuangshuang be able to bribe my maid?"

Song Ruozhen's pretty face showed doubt. "I have been kept in the dark about Lin Hou's intention to marry Miss Qin. But the Qin family must have known about it long ago. My cousin has been frequently visiting the Qin family these days. There is no reason why he would not know. Could it be that he is also helping others to bully his cousin?"

As she spoke, the woman took a step back, a hurt expression on her face.

At this moment, not only Liu Yiming, but even Sun Hanfei's friends couldn't help but feel sorry for Song Ruozhen.

Song Ruozhen was unaware, but as close friends, they knew very well that Sun Hanfei had already told them about Lin Hou's intention to marry Qin Shuangshuang. They hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it before, but to bully their own cousin because of an outsider was going too far.

The Song family has always taken good care of the Sun family over the years, as anyone who knows this knows. How could they possibly help their friend's sister bribe their cousin's maid?

“Sun Hanfei, you’ve gone too far. Miss Song has suffered such a great injustice. You’re her cousin, how can you treat her like this?”

"you……"

Sun Hanfei opened his mouth, but looking at Song Ruozhen who was looking down with a wronged expression, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Song Ruozhen sneered inwardly. The original owner's personality had become deeply ingrained in many people's minds over the years, which actually made things easier for her.

“Miss Song, you are spouting nonsense and slandering your brother. You have committed a sin of speech and are narrow-minded, which makes you prone to going astray. I advise you to be kind with your words, otherwise you will not have a good end.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in an air of otherworldly elegance slowly walked over, his gaze fixed on Song Ruozhen, his expression full of arrogance.

"Master Tianshui!"

Sun Hanfei was overjoyed, exclaiming, "Master Tianshui, please testify for me! She's deliberately framing me!"

Song Ruozhen sized up the man in front of her. His eyebrows were sparse, his eyes had a lot of white showing, and his face was thin and fleshless. He had the face of a cunning and treacherous person who had gotten his way. How could he be a master?
