After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 254 Just Know
Song Lan could, of course, use this as leverage to force Su Wenheng to rescue the person.

Isn't that so boring?

And it will soon be discovered that someone is behind Su Wenheng's actions.

Although the Zhang family members are not smart, they are not stupid either.

and……

"Would it be a bit..." Su Wenheng hesitated for a moment, then thought that Song Lan might be too sheltered from the world and not know much about court affairs, so he said, "Miss Song may not know this, but not long ago, when I went to the Zhang family to offer my condolences, on my way back I encountered Zhang Shen, the eldest young master of the Zhang family, who was possessed by an evil spirit. At that time he was—"

Song Lan interrupted him with a smile.

"Upon hearing Zhang Shen confess his guilt, Lord Su brought him into the palace, intending to impeach the Zhang family."

She looked at him with a half-smile: "I just didn't expect things to turn out this way, and your impeachment of the Zhang family failed."

"The matter of Zhang Shen confessing his crimes in the street remains unresolved to this day, with no follow-up."

"The court was in a state of panic because of the sudden deaths of many officials."

"Every household kept their doors closed, keeping the news of the death a secret."

Su Wenheng was somewhat surprised, even more so: "How did Miss Song know?"

Song Lan smiled and said, "Has Lord Su forgotten?"

"At that time, I had just retrieved the lifespan that had been stolen from Lady Su..."

She looked at him and asked, "Lord Su, where do you think those lifespans come from?"

"It can't be something made up out of nothing, can it?"

"Everything in this world is about the balance of Yin and Yang, and the cycle of cause and effect."

"No matter where it comes from, it must be replaced from another place."

"Otherwise, wouldn't that break the cycle and balance?"

"If the world were to be bound by rules because of this, wouldn't it descend into chaos?"

Su Wenheng was shocked: "Yun'er's lifespan is...is...is..."

Did you take it from someone else?!
"Lord Su, please don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards!"

Song Lan chuckled lightly: "I would never be like those evil cultivators, stealing other people's lifespans for no reason and killing innocent people indiscriminately. I am merely reclaiming the lifespan that originally belonged to your daughter."

"If you steal someone's things, you should obediently return them and then be punished, right?"

Su Wenheng blushed slightly.

He had almost suspected Song Lan of being immoral just now...

"I was being petty," Su Wenheng said solemnly to Song Lan, apologizing for the slander and prejudice he had not spoken aloud but had indeed thought about in his mind.

Song Lan snorted: "It's good that Lord Su knows."

Su Wenheng: ...

This young lady from the Song family is truly different from others.

Faced with his subservient behavior, he wouldn't even utter a polite word.

On the contrary, she almost choked him to death with a single sentence.

It made him feel extremely ashamed.

But what they said turned out to be true.

Su Wenheng was somewhat depressed until he came to his senses and realized that the person in front of him was his daughter's savior.

That person was also the savior of their entire family.

He should listen carefully to whatever his benefactor says.

It is truly inappropriate to make malicious assumptions about one's benefactor.

This is utterly ungrateful and treacherous behavior.

Su Wenheng regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice, and felt increasingly guilty.

But he still couldn't understand: "...Since Miss Song knew all this, why did she still ask me to save Liu Tian?"

He brought Zhang Shen's matter to the Emperor's attention. Although he didn't gain anything from it, he had already severed ties with the Zhang family.

At this point, it would be unreasonable and inappropriate to go and save Liu Tian, ​​wouldn't it?
