However, Song Xiangsi did not notice that Meng Ling Xuan was already jealous.

Since it was public or private, Song Xiangsi did not want to owe Pang Qinghu anything. Furthermore, there was no relationship between them, so she had no reason to take advantage of him.

In the end, Song Xiangsi still took out the banknotes and placed them in front of Pang Qinghu, saying, "The thing that I hate the most is owing people. How much money should you take?"

Pang Qinghu also didn't expect her to be so firm, so his eyes couldn't help but begin to look at her with more approval.

"Since Miss Song is so determined, I'll accept it first."

Pang Qinghu's eyes did not hide his fondness for Song Xiangsi. "However, you can come and find me if you need anything in the future. I'm very willing to help."

The more Meng Fangxuan heard, the angrier he got. He deliberately interrupted him and said, "You don't need to worry about that."

Pang Qinghu looked at the hostile expression on his face and said, "Young master, this is a matter between me and Miss Song. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Her business is my business." Meng Huaxuan stared at him and said in a cold voice.

Song Xiangsi facepalmed on the side.

Pang Qinghu laughed angrily. "Heh, what a joke! No one dares to rob my woman on my turf. "

Pang Qinghu had already known that this man was interested in Song Xiangsi, otherwise he would not have stood on the side and stopped him when he was confessing to Song Xiangsi. However, seeing that he was brought by Song Xiangsi, he did not argue with him.

"Kid, do you dare to compete with me?" Pang Qinghu let out a loud roar, his face filled with ferocity.

"What do you want to compete in?"

Song Xiangsi raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes. She did not expect him, a dignified crown prince, to agree to Pang Qinghu's unreasonable request. Song Xiangsi quickly tugged on his sleeve and whispered to him, "Stop messing around."

He gave her a reassured look. From the very beginning, Meng Ling Xuan had already disliked him. Since he had come to her door on his own accord, she shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

Pang Qinghu watched on from the side as the two of them made eye contact. He thought that Song Xiangsi was worried about that pretty boy and the anger in his heart grew even stronger. He looked at the weak-looking man and said, "Do you dare to spar with me?"

"Are you sure?"

Pang Qinghu said, "Of course."

Song Xiangsi was completely speechless. She silently mourned Pang Qinghu in her heart for three seconds.

Pang Qinghu had initially been very confident in his own martial arts. He hadn't even placed Meng Ling Xuanxuan in his eyes. After receiving his third move, the look in Pang Qinghu's eyes changed drastically as he looked at Meng Ling Xuan.

Not long after their fight, Pang Qinghu was knocked to the ground with a single punch from Meng Ling Xuan. The result was very clear. Meng Ling Xuan had won.

Pang Qinghu still had a look of disbelief on his face as he climbed up from the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and cupped his hands towards Meng Ling Xuan with a dark expression, "My skills are inferior this time. I admit defeat."

Then, he pointed at Song Xiangsi, who was standing beside him, and said firmly, "However, I will not give up on her."

Meng Ling Xuan frowned, thinking to himself that he had done a bit too lightly just now.

Pang Qinghu ignored the murderous look on Meng Ling Xuan's face and said, "Since we all like her, then I want to compete fairly with you."

Just when Meng Liangxuan was about to go over and beat him up again, Song Xiangsi flashed in front of him and blocked his way. With a silent question in her eyes, Song Xiangsi waved at Meng Lianxuan from behind, indicating for him to stay calm.

She then turned to Pang Qinglong and said, "Tell me, do you like me?"

Pang Qinglong was pleasantly surprised, "Yes, I know you don't like me yet, but as long as you give me a chance, I'll make you like me."

Meng Fanxuan let out a cold snort. "You really are confident in yourself."

Song Xiangsi pretended to think awkwardly before she replied, "Since that's the case, you have to let me know how much you like me."

Pang Qinglong scratched his head before patting his chest with a heroic spirit, "Then I'll do whatever you want me to do. As long as you can believe me, I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Song Xiangsi said calmly, "I don't need you to do anything for me. I just want to know the background of the bandits that occupied a place not too far away from Qing He County. Who is their boss?"

"Why do you ask?" Pang Qinglong frowned as a trace of caution suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Song Xiangsi paused as she felt Pang Qinglong's resistance towards this question. She pretended to be relaxed as she said, "Nothing, I'm just curious." "Why, can't you even tell me about such a small matter?"

Pang Qinglong looked at her with a troubled expression before stuttering, "You can ask me anything you want, but I can't tell you about this matter."

Faced with Pang Qinghu's serious defense, Song Xiangsi could not help but suspect his relationship with that group of people.

In the end, Song Xiangsi didn't get anything out of Pang Qinglong's mouth, but she could only helplessly walk out of the gambling den with Meng Lianxuan. Although she didn't get anything out of Pang Qinglong's mouth, she was certain that he knew the secret of those people.

After returning to his residence, Song Xiangsi wrote a letter to his master.

Prime Minister Song thought that his master was a lady embroidery lady who had come from the palace. If he could invite her out and have her teach those embroidery ladies, then his business would be much more efficient.

Since the letter had been sent out, it was time to find the embroidery lady for the rest of the letter.

Song Xiangsi called the sixth son over and asked him, "Do you know where you can recruit a large number of embroidery ladies?"

Liu Zi said, "It's very simple. There's a slave market not far from here. I can take you out tonight."

That night, Song Xiangsi had his sixth son take her to the slave market, along with Meng Ling Xuan. Hearing that they were going to that place and would follow him no matter what, Song Xiangsi had no choice but to let them go.

Liu Zi said that the slave market was actually a small hidden village. This village had been abandoned for many years, and gradually became a slave market.

The Sixth Son led them through the streets and alleyways. After making a few familiar turns, they finally arrived at the entrance of the slave market.

Along the way, Song saw many ragged people locked in cages or tied to shelves for others to choose from.

The people here didn't seem to take them seriously at all, more like they were treating a group of beasts.

Song Xiangsi saw a burly man in front of her pull a person out of the cage, then place him in front of everyone. "Everyone look at the appearance of this slave, buy some tea and pour some water. Give him the menial work, and he'll definitely satisfy you. He'll guarantee that you won't lose anything if you buy it."

The majority of the people standing there were just there to watch the show, but there were also some who were eager to give it a try: "Look at this weak slave, she won't die in a few days if I buy her."

The man shouted, "Bullshit!"

Then he said, "My family's slaves have extraordinary strength. If you don't believe me, let him perform one for you."

Song Xiangsi frowned. She remembered that the imperial government did not allow people to buy or sell slaves in private. All maids and servants had to be purchased from official officials. However, why did the people here had no qualms when faced with such a situation?
