For a moment, the eyes of the Song family members darted back and forth between the King of Chu and Marquis Lin.

Many people knew that Qin Shuangshuang had a crush on the King of Chu back then. Now, her seemingly earnest questioning had a hint of coquettishness in it.

But isn't Qin Shuangshuang supposed to marry Lin Hou?

"This is going to be interesting." Song Ruozhen watched with great interest. She thought that Qin Shuangshuang was truly after Lin Zhiyue after being reborn, but it turns out that she still couldn't forget Chu Junting.

She glanced at Lin Zhiyue subconsciously and felt that there was indeed a significant gap between this man and the King of Chu. No wonder Qin Shuangshuang had rejected him before.

After all, someone who can become the female lead's ideal love must be no ordinary person.

Lin Zhiyue felt that Song Ruozhen's gaze was extremely humiliating, and unconsciously stepped forward to pull Qin Shuangshuang behind him, "I wonder why the Prince of Chu has been protecting Miss Song? Could it be..."

"Lord Lin, what do you mean by that?" Song Yi'an's face turned cold.

"I just find it strange that the King of Chu, who has always been aloof, is helping Miss Song today for no reason."

"Lord Lin, there's no need to doubt. If Prince Chu had any interest in me, I would have broken off the engagement with you long ago. Why would I have wasted two years in the Marquis's mansion?" Song Ruozhen said without any hesitation.

They want to smear her, but they don't even consider the reality!

Lin Zhiyue's expression froze. He had wanted to turn the tables, but he never expected to fall into the trap he had dug himself.

Chu Junting chuckled to himself, thinking that Song Ruozhen was truly a remarkable person; her personality in her boudoir was far more interesting than that of the former Lady of the Marquis's mansion.

At this moment, the object in the lotus pond had been dug out, and everyone's expression changed when they saw it.

"This...this jade vase is stained with blood?"

On a fine jade vase, red spots were scattered out of nowhere, resembling fresh blood, sending chills down one's spine.

The originally warm temperature seemed to suddenly drop as we got closer, making my spine feel cold and giving me goosebumps.

Song Ruozhen glanced at the little ghost beside her and saw that the little ghost's face showed sadness after seeing the vase, and a faint black aura connected him and the vase.

"Your resentment is attached to this vase. When you die, this vase will be beside you?"

"how do you know?"

The little ghost was terrified of Song Ruozhen because this woman hadn't done anything; she had just beckoned to him with her finger, and he couldn't resist, leaving him trapped beside her. Moreover, he could sense the threat posed by this woman.

He is no match at all!

"The malevolent energy here originates from you, and is stained with your blood, so resentment also clings to it."

Song Ruozhen could tell at a glance that although the child was young, his clothes were of noble birth, so he must have come from a good family. She just didn't know why he died so tragically.

"It's so pitiful to be a child. You get bullied when you're alive, and you get cheated even after you're dead." Song Ruozhen shook her head, her eyes filled with regret.

The little devil's face instantly turned bright red. "He... he promised to avenge me, as long as I help him do these things first."

"He's just helping you amass wealth. Don't you even look at his abilities? The dark aura around his forehead is barely suppressing your malevolent energy. How can he possibly avenge you?"

Song Ruozhen glanced at the little brat and felt sorry for him. He was bullied while alive and was deceived even after he died.

The little devil fell silent, for he too had noticed the fury on Tianshui's face. "Then can you help me? If you're willing to help me, I can tell you everything!"

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. This kid wasn't that stupid, but she wasn't interested.

"We have no grudge against you, yet you buried this thing in my house and said it can't be dug up for a hundred years. Who gave you permission to do this?"

After calming down, Liu Ruyan realized that something was wrong. Tricksters in the martial arts world usually just swindle money, but she had already given them 100,000 taels of silver. The other party had no reason to harm them. There must be someone behind them!

Although these words were directed at Tianshui, everyone present understood that the person behind them must be Qin Shuangshuang.

"I...I..." Tianshui was drenched in cold sweat, caught in a dilemma. If he spoke, he feared he would lose his life just the same way...

“If you don’t tell, you won’t survive today. You’ve done so many wicked things, you’re going to die today. If you tell, I might consider helping you out,” Song Ruozhen said in a low voice.

Tianshui didn't believe it, but then he noticed the little devil glaring at him fiercely from not far away. Immediately afterward, he felt a backlash of evil energy and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Song Ruozhen had anticipated this, and after saying these words, she distanced herself. Qin Shuangshuang tried to take the opportunity to threaten Tianshui, but unexpectedly, she was sprayed with blood!

"what--"

Qin Shuangshuang screamed, but she was secretly delighted. As long as Tianshui was dead, everything would be resolved!

Tianshui realized that his life was coming to an end and panicked completely. He had thought that although he had hidden dangers, he would definitely become rich and powerful in the future. But in just one hour, everything changed.

The person who caused all of this was Song Ruozhen!

"I said it was Miss Qin's maid who ordered me to do it! I just followed their instructions!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qin Shuangshuang trembled with anger. She had arranged everything perfectly, but Peilan and Tianshui had betrayed her!

Tianshui couldn't care less about any of that at the moment; all he wanted was to save his life.

“Everything I said is true. I did this because I received money from Miss Qin. I think Miss Qin must want to marry the Marquis. Knowing that you are engaged to the Marquis, she is unwilling and that’s why she wants to ruin the Song family’s fortune.”

I'm just a nobody, Miss Qin is of such high status, how dare I disobey? Please, I beg you, have mercy on me and spare my life."

Tianshui kept kowtowing and recounted the whole story.

"Qin Shuangshuang, you are such a vicious woman! Not only did you steal my sister's husband, but you also want to harm our entire Song family. You are too insidious!" Song Zhiyu's eyes were blazing with anger, and he looked as if he was about to rush up and beat someone.

Qin Shuangshuang was so frightened that she hid behind Lin Zhiyue. Lin Zhiyue's face was ugly. He really couldn't believe that Shuangshuang, who was gentle and kind in his heart, would do such a thing. However, he still protected her in the end.

“Song Zhiyu, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to hit a woman.”

"boom!"

His response was a punch.

"How dare she bully my family! I don't care if she's a man or a woman. Since you're protecting her, you'll take the beating for her!" Song Zhiyu's voice was fierce. What kind of woman was this? He wanted to punch her to death!

Song Yi'an's face darkened. "Lord Lin, it's your business if you like this kind of vicious woman, but if she implicates our Song family, we will not let it go."

"Someone, go report this to the authorities!"

Although Song Yi'an was blind, his demeanor remained unchanged, and he quickly ordered his servants to report to the authorities.

With his father gone and his elder brother ill, he was the one who had to support the family!
