As the head of the Xuanmen sect, Song Ruozhen possesses true metaphysics. He is proficient in the Six Lines, Taiji Bagua, and the Book of Changes. However, his profound knowledge is difficult to understand, so the Yin-Yang Eye is simpler and easier to comprehend.

The three of them, including Liu Ruyan, were shocked by the news. They instinctively felt it was impossible, but after thinking about everything that had happened recently, they couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.

"Did you suddenly develop this ability after being stimulated?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, when I learned that Lord Lin had taken a concubine that day, I was so angry that I fainted. When I woke up, these memories came to me..."

Song Ruozhen lowered her head, a look of helplessness and embarrassment spreading across her pretty face. She had acted too nonchalantly these past two days, which made people suspicious. Showing weakness now would make people believe her more.

"No wonder." Liu Ruyan felt heartbroken. "Zhen'er, you don't need to put on a brave face in front of us. We were all deceived by Lin Hou before, thinking that he would treat you well. Now that he has done so much, he is really unreliable. Your mother will definitely find you a better husband."

“Mother, I don’t want to get married for the time being. Father hasn’t returned yet, and my eldest brother’s leg ailment and my second brother’s eye disease still need treatment. I want to stay at home,” Song Ruozhen said frankly.

“Zhen’er, a young lady really can’t afford to delay this…” Liu Ruyan’s eyes reddened.

“Mother, since Fifth Sister doesn’t want to get married for the time being, then she shouldn’t. When she really meets someone she likes, she will marry him even if you don’t want her to,” Song Yi’an said.

Liu Ruyan came to her senses and realized that it made sense. After being deceived by Lin Hou like that, how could she recover so easily? She, as the mother, had been too anxious.

“Your second brother is right. Mother will not urge you anymore. You can stay at home if you want.”

Only after Liu Ruyan left did Song Ruozhen smile and look at Song Yi'an, "Second Brother, thank you very much."

"Second brother understands your thoughts, but Mother is doing this for your own good."

Song Ruozhen nodded and teased, "Then why don't we ask Mother to find a good girl for Second Brother?"

Song Yi'an: "..." Never mind what I said.

"I've been too busy these past few days and haven't had time to take back the dozen or so shops in the Linhou Mansion. I'm planning to go and take back the shops today. Why don't you come with me, Second Brother?"

Staying home all day is getting boring, so I might as well go out for a walk. The medicinal herbs I need should arrive today. Once everything is ready, I'll treat my second brother's eyes.

Since losing his sight, Song Yi'an had been staying at home. Hearing that his sister was going to treat his eye disease, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Fifth Sister had no medical skills at all, but she really cared about his eye disease. Then she thought, since he was already blind, how much worse could it get?

“Okay, let’s call our third brother to come along. I can’t see, and you’re a girl, so it’ll be more reassuring for you to have him with you.”

However, when Song Zhiyu and Song Yi'an left the Song residence, they were dumbfounded to find that their younger sister had brought a large group of thugs with her.

"Fifth sister, are you going out to fight?" Song Zhiyu couldn't help but ask.

Didn't we say we were going out to reclaim the shop and buy some things along the way?

This looks like they're about to raid your home!

"When it comes to closing down a shop, there might be some shameless guys who won't let go. It's always more convenient to bring people with you."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Lin Zhiyue must be in a terrible predicament right now. If he can't raise the money, he will inevitably turn his attention to her shops. After all, the shops that the original owner managed were extremely successful, and even the few shops in the Lin family mansion that used to be deserted have become prosperous.

She's always been ruthless; she won't let anyone who treats her badly get the slightest advantage!

Upon arriving at the shop, they heard arguing coming from inside.

"Steward Lin, my young lady sent someone a few days ago to say that she has no further connection with the Lin Marquis's Mansion. All accounts and money belong to the Song family. Don't even mention asking for money, you absolutely cannot ask for credit." Manager Song Yu refused sternly.

"Manager Song, the shop's accounts have been sent to our residence for the past two years. How can you easily explain what's mixed in?"

Besides, this shop originally belonged to the Lin family. Miss Song only asked you to help us manage it. Now that the engagement is over, the shop is still ours. It's you who should leave!

Butler Lin arrogantly raised his head and said, "You leave now, and you are not allowed to take anything, otherwise it will be considered theft!"

"These things were all brought by our Song family. Are you trying to embezzle them? Don't go too far!"

Song Yu was so angry that his face turned ashen. When they took over the shop, the furnishings were dilapidated. The young lady spent a lot of money just on renovations. Not to mention that everything in the Cloth Shop was made of the finest silks that the Song family had brought from Jiangnan. The Lin family hadn't even paid for the goods, and now they wanted to pocket the whole thing!

"The land deed is in our hands; this property belongs to the Lin family! You and your men get out of here right now!"

Lin Tao looked disdainful. The Song family was indeed extraordinary before, but now General Song's life or death is unknown, the younger generation of the Song family are either crippled or blind, and the third son of the Song family is not very bright. There is no one who can take on the great responsibility. Miss Song is even more blind. I don't know what she is being so reserved about. If she misses out on their Marquis, she may not be able to find anyone to take her as a concubine!

Song Yu's face turned red, and the shop's waiters were also unable to swallow their anger. However, the land deed was in the other party's hands, and if things really escalated, they would not be in the right. They were really frustrated!

"Who said everything in the shop belongs to your Lin family?"

Song Ruozhen's mocking voice suddenly rang out.

Song Yu and Lin Tao turned around and their expressions changed for a moment when they saw Song Ruozhen appear.

"Miss, they've gone too far! All the goods in the shop belong to us!" Song Yu said, feeling aggrieved.

Lin Tao subconsciously felt guilty, but thinking that Song Ruozhen had already broken off the engagement and would no longer be the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, he became firm again.

"Miss Song, you've taken everything you were supposed to take a couple of days ago. This shop originally belonged to our Marquis's residence, and the land deed is in our hands. Is it alright to let your people leave now?"

“No problem,” Song Ruozhen said calmly.

Lin Tao was overjoyed. He had long coveted the goods here. The Song family's products were top-notch. Taking back this shop would be like a golden goose laying eggs!

"Then I'll trouble Miss Song to have everyone leave as soon as possible, so as not to affect our Marquis's residence. Our lady will be coming to audit the shop's accounts in a couple of days."

"Oh, really?" Song Ruozhen chuckled and took out a written agreement.

"It's true that the shop is yours, but the invoices for the repairs two years ago and the goods you bought on credit from my Song Family Clothing Shop over the past two years are all here. I'm afraid... even selling this shop to me wouldn't be enough?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao froze, subconsciously glancing at the document in Song Ruozhen's hand. When he realized that it was the fingerprint of Old Madam Lin, his face turned pale.

When did the old lady ever sign such a document?
