Hearing Song Xiangsi's seemingly boastful words, Liu Niang frowned and finally sighed, "How can it be so simple. The power behind her is the prefect of our county, and he controls almost all the forces in every county. Furthermore, Liu Niang has been opening teaching workshops in the counties all these years to train quite a few beauties.

He pursed his lips and thought for a while before opening his mouth heavily, "Let's go investigate the Prefect's background. Since Liu Niang has been using the girl to help him all these years, she must have a lot of secrets. As long as we find evidence, we are not afraid of upsetting him!"

This time, Wen Niang was completely shocked. She looked at Song Xiangsi with a dumbstruck expression, almost not daring to believe her own ears. After a moment, she could not help but exclaim: "Are you crazy! This is the prefectural level! "

As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. These people, even the county magistrate did not dare to offend them.

No matter how Wen Niang thought about it, she felt that Song Xiangsi must be crazy!

However, Song Xiangsi remained calm. "What I said is the truth."

She also knew that she would not be able to persuade her. After gritting her teeth, she could only say, "You can handle this matter yourself, I'm just a mere shopkeeper in a small teaching department. I really can't help you, it's late at night, you guys can go back first."

Song Xiangsi raised her eyebrows. She understood the meaning behind Wen Niang's words, which was that she wanted to distance herself from her relationship so that they would not implicate her.

In fact, she also understood that in the ancient society, a woman like Wen Niang was in a difficult situation. She didn't have enough time to avoid the officials, so having them fight against the officials was simply a fantasy.

Thus, she indifferently glanced at Wen Niang and meaningfully said, "If you are willing to let Liu Niang dominate the family, then I have no other choice."

After speaking, she left alongside Meng Ling Xuan.

After the two of them left, Madame Wen looked at the empty room and let out a deep sigh. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and was unable to fall asleep for the entire night.

On the other side, since it was already past the curfew, there was almost no one on the street other than Luo. The two of them strolled along the street.

Meng Ling Xuan raised an eyebrow, then turned around and took off the outer garment from his body. He lightly draped it over Song Xiangsi's body, then pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the warm warmth from the man's body and the slight warmth from his cloak, Song Xiangsi pursed her lips, feeling extremely comfortable in her heart. Thinking for a moment, she could not help but ask, "If we can overthrow Lady Liu and that Prefect, will it be useful to you as well?"

This was something that she had only thought of later on. Since Meng Yuan Xuan was the heir to the King's Manor, he must be considered a powerful figure with more or less an interest in these officials. As far as Meng Yuan Xuan was concerned, if there were no benefits to this matter, he would definitely not explore the Orchid Court overnight.

Meng Huaxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Xiangsi with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He had not expected her to be able to figure this out so quickly.

However, he did not intend to hide it from Song Xiangsi. He nodded and answered honestly, "Yes, that Prefect is over there."

As for who exactly it was, Meng Liangxuan didn't say. However, Song Xiangsi could guess that it must have been the person who had been chasing him three to four times, which meant that he was the enemy.

Song Xiangsi nodded, and her eyes darkened. She thought to herself, "Since this matter involves Meng Ling Xuan, then no matter what, I must get rid of this Prefect and Lady Liu!"

Meng Ling Xuan didn't know what she was thinking about. He just silently walked beside her. On the way home, the two of them didn't speak again. Each of them had their own thoughts as they headed home together.

Early the next morning, Song Xiangsi woke up. She had already eaten most of the rice, flour, and oil in the house. Since the store had yet to open, she decided to go out and buy some while the store was still not open.

Surprisingly, Meng Liangxuan, who had been busy all these days, did not go out today. Seeing that Song Xiangsi was going out to buy things, he thought for a moment and went along with her, "When you buy something, I can carry it for you."

Song Xiangsi smiled, tidied herself up, and prepared to leave.

After a rare moment of relaxation, Song Xiangsi felt like she was in the mood to stroll around. She wandered around, bought some small items, and before she could even reach the grain and oil store, she had already bought a pile of small items.

However, when he saw the smile on Song Xiangsi's face that he hadn't seen for a long time, he was happy in his heart as well. He did not complain at all about the crown prince's estate being willing to serve as a follower for the girl he liked.

He glanced at Song Xiangsi, who was walking unsteadily in front of him. After a moment of thought, he placed all the things in his right hand on his left hand, then released a hand to lead her inside.

Song Xiangsi was still a little surprised. She did not understand why the man who had silently followed her all this way would suddenly want to lead her to a shop. When she raised her head and saw that it was a jewelry store, her heart skipped a beat as she vaguely guessed something.

The two of them walked into the shop together. Meng Ling Xuan swept his gaze around with a heavy gaze. After a moment of thought, he turned to Song Xiangsi and said, "You …" "I don't know what kind of jewelry you like. Why don't you take a look for yourself and see if there's anything you like?"

Song Xiangsi raised her eyebrows, feeling a little speechless in her heart. Who would give something to someone else to pick themselves? She was truly not sincere at all.

She puffed up her cheeks in anger and glared at Meng Ling Xuan. Then, she angrily walked up to him and started strolling around the store.

Meng Huaxuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't quite understand why the little girl looked like she was angry. He clearly hadn't done anything to anger her.

He scratched his head and followed suit. He also wanted to give a pretty hairpin to Song Xiangsi, but he was afraid that she wouldn't like it. He wanted her to choose one for herself and then pick one for him.

As he thought about this, he began to pick his way seriously. In the blink of an eye, his gaze landed on the entrance as a person walked in. He was tall and slender, wearing an embroidered green robe and holding a fan.
