I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Song Chengce was shrouded in a cloud of black mist. Everyone present was horrified by his painful cries of struggle.

A short while later, Song Chengce fell silent and collapsed with a thud.

As he fell to the ground, his body shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere like coal dust.

The timid ones turned pale with fright, clutching their heads and screaming incoherently.

"who!"

Song Qian remained relatively calm, looking around as if searching for someone to lend a helping hand.

"Miss, she's there!"

Xiuer was the first to spot the trail and pointed it out to Song Qian.

The man was completely wrapped in a black robe and was standing on the wall of the ancestral hall courtyard.

Upon being discovered, the man immediately unfurled his black robe, turned and left, leaping from rooftop to rooftop, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

"Chase!"

Song Qian immediately ordered her servants and guards to give chase; they had to catch up with the person no matter what…

……

As soon as Qin Li and his men arrived at the main gate of the Song residence, they saw a large group of servants and guards pouring out of the mansion, seemingly chasing after someone.

Without a second thought, Qin Li immediately ordered, "Zhou Biao, take some men to help."

"yes!"

Zhou Biao, accompanied by his guards, stopped the servants and guards of the Song family to inquire about the situation, and then immediately began the pursuit.

Qin Li, accompanied by a small group of men, swaggered into the Song residence.

Inside the ancestral hall, someone quickly reported to Song Qian the news of Qin Li's arrival.

Song Qian was slightly startled, then looked at the Song family elders inside the ancestral hall, "Without the order of this patriarch, none of you are allowed to leave the ancestral hall, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Having just witnessed Song Qian's methods, even the third son was no match for her. How could the elders of the Song family dare to disobey Song Qian? Unless they had a death wish.

After Song Qian finished speaking, they all nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.

Song Qian was about to go out to personally greet Qin Li.

The Crown Prince's visit to a merchant family was unprecedented, and she could not afford to be impolite.

However, before she could leave the ancestral hall with her people, Qin Li led his men in.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened in the ancestral hall, seeing the chaotic scene, Qin Li knew he was late and couldn't help but sigh, "What a lively place!"

Song Qian curtsied slightly and said somewhat apologetically, "Your Highness has truly made a fool of yourself."

"Your Highness, please follow me to the main hall. Staying here will only offend your eyes and ears."

"It's alright!"

Qin Li raised his hand and walked straight into the ancestral hall. "Commander Sui, go and see if that corpse is the same as the one you saw."

"yes!"

Sui Ge clasped his hands in a fist salute, jogged over to the pile of "coal slag" on the ground, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

Although it is made up of pieces, you can still make out that it is human-shaped.

Each piece of coal slag was still shrouded in lingering black smoke, which was extremely eerie.

Sui Ge didn't dare to touch it easily. He could only cover his palm with his true energy before he dared to pick up a piece and look at it closely.

At this moment, Song Qian was introducing him to everyone, "This is His Highness the First Prince!"

The elders of the Song family quickly knelt down to pay their respects, but Qin Li waved his hand to decline and found a chair to sit down.

Seeing that the eldest prince was so easy to talk to, the elders of the Song family immediately had other ideas.

Especially the fourth and fifth uncles, they exchanged a glance and both understood what the other meant.

If nothing unexpected happens, Song Qian will send them all to a rural village to be "imprisoned" tomorrow. Their former life of luxury in the capital will be completely gone and they will have to do manual labor to avoid starving or freezing to death.

But for them, who were used to a life of wealth and luxury, that kind of life was nothing short of hellish torture; it would have been better to just kill them.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. They would rather die than go to the countryside.

This is great! Their chance has come. Qin Li is their lifeline.

Thinking of this, Fourth Uncle stepped forward first, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Your Highness, the First Prince, is truly handsome and dashing..."

Upon hearing this, Song Qian frowned slightly, secretly displeased.

What kind of trouble is the fourth brother going to cause now? He's really made the Song family lose all face.

Just as he was about to tell him to shut up, Qin Li raised his arm again:

"It's alright, it's been a long time since anyone flattered me."

"Keep filming. If you flatter me well, I, the prince, will reward you handsomely."

Song Qian didn't know what Qin Li meant, but she didn't dare to stop him.

The only thing I could do was give the fourth brother a meaningful look, telling him to watch his words.

Don't offend the Crown Prince and bring disaster upon the Song family.

The next period of time was for the fourth brother to flatter him.

Qin Li sat in the chair, listening with great interest and a broad smile.

He would occasionally turn his head and whisper to Song Qian, thinking, "The Song family has such a talented person; why didn't we tell him sooner?"

Song Qian smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

After talking for quite a while, the fourth brother finally ran out of things to say.

"That's it?"

Qin Li clearly looked like he hadn't had enough.

The fourth brother smiled apologetically as he nudged the fifth brother next to him with his elbow, asking him for help.

But the fourth brother had already used up all the good words, and besides, he wasn't as eloquent as the fourth brother, so he really couldn't think of any new ways to flatter Qin Li.

With no other option, the fourth brother resorted to his last resort, and without warning, he knelt down with a thud.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Li said with amusement, raising an eyebrow as he watched the fourth brother's performance.

The fourth brother knelt forward, but was sternly told to stay away by the guards behind Qin Li, who were not allowed to get too close to Qin Li.

The fourth prince then said, "Your Highness's visit to our humble abode is truly an honor we have accumulated over eight lifetimes. We have nothing to repay you with, so we are willing to offer you a daughter!"

Song Qian immediately understood what the fourth brother was going to do. Her beautiful eyes glared fiercely, and she suddenly had murderous intent.

Originally, he didn't want to kill Lao Si, since Lao Si hadn't committed any unforgivable crimes.

She only punished the fourth son by sending him to the countryside, sparing his life, but now, she has no choice but to kill him!

"Oh?"

Qin Li immediately became interested. "Offer up a woman? Who? What kind of woman hasn't I seen? I don't care for ordinary, vulgar women. If the woman offered by your Song family doesn't satisfy me, I will punish you."

Qin Li said it casually, but to Lao Si, it was like a royal decree.

The fourth prince trembled with fear, but still forced himself to say, "The Song family has a daughter, Song Qian, whom we wish to offer to Your Highness!"

"Song Qian, daughter of the Song family, is as beautiful as a flower, intelligent and quick-witted, well-educated and courteous, and also has a keen business sense. If Your Highness hadn't been so willing to take her into your household, the First Prince's residence would surely have risen to even greater heights!"

The fifth brother immediately understood what the fourth brother meant, and he also knelt down, sparing no effort to promote Song Qian, saying all sorts of nice things about her, almost describing Song Qian as a flawless fairy descended from heaven.

As long as Song Qian can be sent away, the second son will be crippled, and the third son will be dead. Then, wouldn't the two of them be in charge of the entire Song family?

They wouldn't have to leave the capital for the countryside, and they could even take control of the Song family. Just thinking about it made them so happy they couldn't sleep.

Song Qian's eyes grew increasingly vicious, narrowing into slits.

These two must be killed.

But the next moment, Qin Li said, "Is Song Qian, the daughter of the Song family, really as good as she's described?"

"I've heard that Song Qian, the daughter of the Song family, is already married. What are your intentions in offering me a married woman?!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qian looked at Qin Li blankly. So, he still disliked her...

The idea that they only like married women is all a lie...

Song Qian was stunned, and the fourth and fifth brothers were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me!"

"Song Qian, a daughter of the Song family, is already married."

"But we, the people of the Song family, all know that Song Qian and that son-in-law named Fang Yuan are only husband and wife in name, not in reality. Song Qian, a daughter of the Song family, is still a virgin. We beg Your Highness not to despise her!"

Qin Li ignored him completely, waving his hand dismissively, "Those with malicious intentions, drag them all out and execute them!"

"yes!"

Soon, the fourth and fifth brothers were dragged out...
