Therefore, Song Xiangsi's way of thinking was very simple. She could not rely on Meng Duanxuan for everything. She had to be strong herself, at least so as not to drag down the other party.

However, Meng Ling Xuan didn't understand her thoughts. He deeply felt that Song Xiangsi was unwilling to get involved with him, and wanted to draw a clear line between them.

He took a deep breath and then said, "But if I make a move, we can get rid of Lady Liu and help you clear away all the worries."

Hearing his persistent words, Song Xiangsi frowned slightly. She turned her head and looked at him deeply. She asked seriously, "Why are you helping me like this?"

He didn't even hesitate to reveal his identity and go as far as killing others.

Meng Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Song Xiangsi to suddenly ask him such a question. After thinking about it seriously, he narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Someone helping another person must be planning something. What do you think I'm plotting?"

Song Xiangsi was slightly shocked. She looked blankly at Meng Li Xuan, pursed her lips, then turned around and said, "I am a commoner with nothing but two useless things. I really don't know what kind of things are hidden to allow the Crown Prince to scheme."

Meng Ling Xuan's pupils became darker as he grabbed Song Xiangsi by the waist, pulling her closer. With his handsome face close to hers, he said with a smile, "You know what I'm looking for, don't you?"

At this moment, the two of them were so close to each other with their noses pointed towards the tip of their noses. Song Xiangsi was slightly shorter and looked like she just reached the shoulder of a man.

After hearing the man's words that sounded close to bewitching, her heart fell into chaos.

Song Xiangsi gritted her teeth and pushed him away. Then she took two steps back and mumbled, "I …" How would I know what you're after? "

As she spoke, she seemed to be fleeing from some dangerous beast, hurriedly leaving the room. She said, "It's getting late, and I still have a lot of work to do. I need to rest, so you should go to bed early."

When she walked to the door and opened it, she stopped. Then, she turned around and looked at Meng Ling Xuan seriously. "No matter what, this matter is my problem. I will resolve it myself. You don't need to care about it."

Meng Huaxuan raised his eyebrows. Before he could say anything, Song Xiangsi's figure had already disappeared from the room.

He pursed his lips into a bitter smile and heaved a long sigh. He did not follow Song Xiangsi into her room as usual. Instead, he went back to his room to change into a new set of clothes and leave the house at night.

After the Courtesan Belle selection competition, most of the guests had gone to the lovers. As for the Orchid Pavilion, it could only be frequented by the old customers who had a relationship with Lady Liu.

Due to Liu Niang's recent bad mood, she was often furious. Therefore, the maidservants in the Lan Ting Workshop were all on tenterhooks, afraid that they would be punished if they accidentally did something wrong.

They had experienced Liu Niang's methods before, and they truly couldn't beg for death.

At night, when Liu Niang was preparing to take off her makeup and go to bed, a servant girl suddenly pulled out a strand of her hair. This immediately caused her to frown and throw everything on the dressing table to the ground.

In the room, no one dared to breathe too loudly for fear of being implicated.

Liu Niang sat on the bed covered in red curtains. Her gaze coldly swept over these people. She gave a light snort and waved them out. She herself, on the other hand, muttered her annoyance as she fell asleep.

No one noticed that on the roof of the room that Liu Niang was staying in, there was a petite black figure that was quietly watching the situation inside.

Seeing that Mrs Liu had fallen asleep, Song Xiangsi narrowed her eyes slightly. With a flash, her delicate figure disappeared into the night.

In the darkness, Song Xiangsi easily avoided the guards, whether it was in the light or the dark, and directly went to Lady Liu's study. In the dark, her sharp eyes looked around, finally landing on the ink stone on the desk.

However, she had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped. Her gaze coldly swept behind her and she immediately pulled out the dagger from her waist. Relying on her sharp intuition, she waved in a certain direction and acted as if it was as smooth as flowing water.

In the darkness, a tall figure swiftly flew backwards, easily dodging the dagger thrown at him by Song Xiangsi.

Song Xiangsi narrowed her eyes slightly. Seeing that her first attack had failed, she immediately launched another attack. With a sweep of her leg, she hacked towards her second opponent.

However, the opponent's speed was much faster than hers. Like a ghost, his figure moved and easily landed behind her. He then swung his arm and grabbed her waist, bringing her into his embrace.

Song Xiangsi was shocked. She immediately kept her dagger and rushed to the bucket behind her. That's right, she had been quickly stopped by the other party. At the same time, she heard a deep male voice speaking.

"It's me!"

Meng Fanxuan?!

Song Xiangsi was shocked again. She hurriedly put away her dagger and frowned as she looked back. The bright moonlight revealed her handsome face.

He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and couldn't help but frown. "What are you doing here?"

The man raised his eyebrows and asked her carelessly, "Then what are you doing here? Am I not the same as you? "

Song Xiangsi choked and actually felt that she could not answer him. She thought for a moment before saying with a cold face, "I've said that I don't need you to care about this matter. Go back quickly, I can resolve it myself."

With that, she walked towards the desk and placed one hand on the inkstone, gently twisting it. Then, she heard a rumbling sound coming from the direction of the bookcase behind her.

The bookcases that were originally side by side suddenly opened up after a series of noises, revealing a dark room.

Meng Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked deeply at Song Xiangsi. He narrowed his eyes slightly and a hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes. He asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that you've lived in the countryside since you were young? How do you know these things?"

Song Xiangsi was shocked. She immediately came to a realization. As a secret service agent in her previous life, she had long since mastered the tricks.

However, the real Song Xiangsi should not know about this.
