The next morning, there was a knock on the Song family's door.

"Miss, Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang have arrived. They say they want to return the money."

Chenxiang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "I heard they made quite a scene, almost as if they were banging drums and gongs to let everyone know the purpose of their visit today."

"You're here so early?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen's lips curled into a smile. These two guys are really courting death!

"Miss, why are you still smiling so happily?"

Chenxiang was puzzled. "If they owe us money, they should just pay it back. It was their debt to begin with. Why are they acting so arrogantly?"

"This servant thinks Qin Shuangshuang has absolutely no airs of a proper mistress. She's clearly acting like a favored concubine, and she probably wants to show off in front of you today!"

"They've finally come to return the money, isn't that a good thing?"

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly, "Let's go, let's see how they show off their power!"

"What's all this noise about so early in the morning?"

Song Zhiyu looked at Lin Zhiyue and the other person in front of him with disgust in his eyes, like two annoying flies that kept buzzing around him.

Qin Shuangshuang didn't expect that it would be Song Zhiyu who came out. This guy was a reckless brute. No matter what she said, it was useless. If she angered him, he would just throw a punch.

Even Lin Zhiyue was beaten twice, so she had no intention of arguing with this guy!

"Where is Song Ruozhen? We've come today to return the money."

"Return the money?" Song Zhiyu looked at Lin Zhiyue in surprise.

He had long looked down on this guy, but he never expected him to actually get his revenge.

"Just pay it back, it's only eight million taels of silver. Give me the silver notes, no need for such a big fuss!"

Song Zhiyu stretched out his hand, waiting for the silver notes.

Qin Shuangshuang's expression froze. She had come here today to vent her anger and wanted nothing more than to throw the silver notes at Song Ruozhen's face and teach her a lesson for her petty behavior!

As a result, Song Zhiyu so casually wanted to take back the silver notes, so how could she vent her anger?

"Since Miss Song kept this account, let's wait for her to come."

Song Zhiyu rolled his eyes. "You want to see my fifth sister? My fifth sister doesn't want to see you!"

Qin Shuangshuang was so angry that her face turned ashen. Song Zhiyu was just a rude brute!

When Song Ruozhen arrived at the door, she saw a large group of people gathered there, looking quite lively. However, Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue's faces were flushed red, clearly indicating that they were very angry.

She glanced at her third brother blocking the door and sighed inwardly: As expected of her third brother, he's infuriating!

"I am coming."

Upon seeing Song Ruozhen arrive, Qin Shuangshuang was overjoyed, but upon seeing the woman's radiant appearance, a sinister jealousy flashed in her eyes.

In her past life, she was the one who was radiant and beautiful. Song Ruozhen toiled for the family all day long, wasted her time by Old Madam Lin, and neglected by Lin Zhiyue, making her look particularly haggard.

Now, she looks stunningly beautiful and dazzling, making it impossible to connect her with the pitiful and tragic woman from her previous life.

Song Ruozhen also sized up Qin Shuangshuang, who had been in prison for many days and was pretending to be sick in order to get out.

Even though she wanted to show off now, her pale and tired face still revealed how difficult these past few days had been for her.

“Miss Song, my master’s debt of eight million taels to you has been fully repaid today. I hope you will not bother him with this matter again in the future,” Qin Shuangshuang said.

Song Ruozhen glanced at her and held out her hand, "Give me the silver notes."

Qin Shuangshuang frowned. Shouldn't Song Ruozhen be unwilling to accept this? Why are she saying the same things as Song Zhiyu?

Lin Zhiyue handed over the silver notes in his hand.

"Here are eight million taels of silver notes. Count them in front of you, and from now on we will be even!"

"Okay."

A casual remark fell into Lin Zhiyue's ears, but it made him inexplicably unhappy!

Song Ruozhen was clearly devoted to him, but now she seems like a completely different person, as if she doesn't care about him at all. How is that possible?

“From today onwards, you can no longer use what happened before to blackmail me. The Song family and our Lin family have no connection whatsoever anymore,” Lin Zhiyue couldn’t help but say.

"That's natural."

Song Ruozhen nodded, counting the silver notes in her hand, a hint of admiration rising in her heart.

These two guys dug up so much gold and silver last night, and in just one night they've exchanged it all for silver notes.

That's fast!

Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang exchanged a glance. They had originally planned to make a scene today, but it wasn't them who were making a scene; they were hoping that Song Ruozhen would make a scene.

To my surprise, the other party agreed so casually, it felt like punching cotton, leaving me with an indescribable sense of frustration.

"As far as I know, Master Lin has recently been desperate and has nowhere to borrow money. So, he suddenly produced so much silver. This silver must be clean and there shouldn't be any problems with it, right?"

Song Ruozhen put away the silver notes and turned her gaze to Lin Zhiyue and the other person.

"This silver is perfectly clean!"

Qin Shuangshuang scoffed, "My master is a good person, and there are quite a few people who appreciate him. Naturally, he will be able to overcome the difficulties. Do you think he can't succeed without you?"

"I, Lin Zhiyue, am not so helpless without you. You think you can use this to control me? You're being far too naive!"

Lin Zhiyue said arrogantly, "Shuangshuang is my perfect match. A woman with a heart of stone like you is not worthy of being my wife!"

"Look at yourself! Do you think your family, a marquisate, is worthy of my sister? You're getting cocky just because I called you fat. I bet you just want another beating!"

Song Zhiyu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, looking ready for another fight.

That bastard! He wasn't tough enough last time. This time, I'm going to beat him so badly he'll be crawling on the ground!

"Third Brother, evil people will be punished by Heaven. There's no need to pay them any mind."

Song Ruozhen pulled Song Zhiyu back. These two people, who were about to be locked up in jail, were not worth Third Brother's attention.

"You two are truly a match made in heaven. One of you is delusional, and even after things have fallen apart, you still think I want to marry you. Don't you even know that you're just an earl? Do you think you're worthy of the Song family's reputation?"

"As for the other one, what's stolen is always more desirable. Since you think it's a treasure that you finally managed to snatch back, then hide it well and don't bring it out."

"Of course I'm not interested, but what if there's some other blind person with the same taste as you? Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Song Ruozhen clicked her tongue in dismay, "Your own brother is locked up in jail, and you don't even care much. You still have the nerve to come here and show off."

"The Qin family is truly blessed to have you as relatives."

Hearing Song Ruozhen's sarcastic teasing, Qin Shuangshuang said angrily, "Isn't that all because you are heartless? My brother has already been beaten like that, isn't that enough?"

"You insisted on sending him to jail, Song Ruozhen, you are truly ruthless!"

"Maybe your family is better suited to staying in prison. You like fortune telling so much, but you still haven't figured it out?"

One of you just got out of prison, and the other is already in jail. You siblings are birds of a feather; you're destined for a life of hardship.
