Meng Fangxuan nodded, directly grabbing Song Xiangsi's hand and walking to the back of the courtyard. When they reached the wall, he grabbed her by the waist and leaped over the wall.

Song Xiangsi did not quite understand. As she followed him, just as she was about to ask, she saw two women sneaking around the corner.

She pursed her lips. In her heart, she already understood what was going on. Calmly, she followed behind the two, quietly following them.

The two women walked in circles through several alleys and arrived at a yard door.

From the looks of it, there were even two red lanterns hanging at the entrance, just like the ones on the other side.

The two women looked around to make sure that there was no one around before they knocked on the door. Then, a servant walked up to open the door, and a few of them sneakily went up to greet him.

Meng Ling Xuan also turned his head to look Song Xiangsi in the eye, motioning for her to be quiet. Then, his body moved. In the blink of an eye, the two of them appeared on the rooftop.

Song Xiangsi's heart skipped a beat. She felt that this scene was very similar to the one she saw in the Wuxia novels. She could not help but feel excited, but she did not dare to make any big movements, afraid of disturbing the people inside.

She pursed her lips and removed a tile with a familiar movement, looking through the cracks.

Meng Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows and gave her a meaningful look. He was somewhat surprised that she was so familiar with this sort of thing.

Song Xiangsi did not notice his expression because she was stunned by the scene in the room.

After the two women entered, they knelt on the ground and sobbed. This probably meant that Song Xiangsi's craftiness had seen through their scheme.

There was a man sitting in the room. He was wearing an emerald green brocade robe and was holding a fan. His hair was tied up in a bun and was tied up into a bun. He was shaking his golden hairpin.

She turned her head and Song Xiangsi saw her face clearly. She did not expect it to be Lady Liu!

In the room, Liu Niang looked at the two crying women and frowned. With a wave of her long sleeve, she smashed all the teacups on the table onto the rich man and shouted angrily, "What a useless thing. I can't even make you do such a small thing well, what are you hoping to do for me in the future?"

She looked at the two of them, angry and annoyed.

He thought that with that girl's intelligence, she would definitely come back to her senses after today's incident ended. It would not be easy to frame him in the future.

The two women were also startled by her presence. They did not dare to let out a breath as they knocked their heads against the ground, not daring to get up.

"Master, please calm your anger. There must be some other way to ruin her store's reputation. When no one goes to buy from her store again, we will bet as much as we can on the price."

One of the women rolled her eyes and said timidly.

Liu Niang turned her head to look at them. She gently tapped her palm with the folding fan in her hand. However, she sneered and said, "Do you think this is eating? It's that easy."

She took a deep breath and sat on the chair to the side. Her slender fingers gently kneaded her forehead as she weakly waved her hand, "Alright, you can all go now. I'll calm down for a bit. I've thought of an idea and will think it over later."

The two women looked at each other and did not dare to delay any longer. They hurriedly kowtowed and left quietly.

In the room, Lady Liu looked at the broken things on the floor and narrowed her eyes. She whispered, "Song Xiangsi …" I will let you know that you cannot afford to offend me! "

"Bang!" The folding fan in her hand snapped, and she was ruthlessly thrown onto the ground. She then stepped on it twice.

On the rooftop, Song Xiangsi narrowed her eyes. She was slightly astonished in her heart, she did not expect that this matter was actually planned by Lady Liu.

Meng Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows. He had expected this. He pursed his lips and put his arm around Song Xiangsi's waist. They landed together in a nearby alley.

On the way back, Song Xiangsi did not say a single word. Her face was taut and her eyes were filled with worry.

Meng Ling Xuan looked at him. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What are you worried about?"

Song Xiangsi turned to look at him and sighed lightly, "If this was really planned by Lady Liu, she would definitely be doing something else to disrupt the business of the shop. At that time, she would probably lower the price even more, and since the Regeneration Pavilion's reputation had been ruined, they could only rely on the Orders of the Orchid Court Workshop to operate."

She took a deep breath and cast her gaze in the same direction, a little uncertain. "If I go and find her now, compromise with her, and promise her the price we set that day, these things will never happen again."

"However, if you compromise with her now, there's no guarantee that she'll make an even more excessive request in the future. Lady Liu is a person with a rather deep heart, and she's also insatiably greedy, seeking cooperation with her, which is no different from scheming with a tiger. If this goes on, the Gui Rui Pavilion will still be destroyed."

Song Xiangsi's expression was identical and her face was stiff. How could she not know this? However … What else could she do?

At this moment, she truly felt the pressure of power.

She turned her head away, revealing a dispirited expression. Her voice was soft and a little erratic. "Do you think I'm useless?"

Meng Fangxuan shook his head. He put a hand on her shoulder, making her look straight at him. He pursed his lips and said, "We have a way out. Li An City isn't just a teaching post for her."

Song Xiangsi's eyes lit up as she looked at Meng Ling Xuan in surprise. "That's right! Why didn't I think of that!?"

Other than Lady Liu's Orchid Pavilion, there was also the Blue Chrysanthemum Workshop in the west of the city, where the mother was called Wen Niang.

That person was completely different from Lady Liu; she had a bold personality, but she was also a straightforward person. She never played any tricks, nor did she even bother to stir up trouble behind her back.

Of course, everyone in the county knew that the identity of the person behind her was extremely precious, and no one would go and provoke her after eating their fill.

The most important thing was that this Wen Niang and Liu Niang were still enemies.

As long as he made good use of this point, Song Xiangsi believed that he would be able to convince Wen Niang to cooperate with him. When the time came, they would have mutual benefits.

It seemed that working with the Green Chrysanthemum Workshop would be the best.

Having thought this through, Song Xiangsi quickly went to prepare the clothes. She drew a design overnight, then asked Zhou Xiufang to make the clothes the next day. At night, she took the clothes and went to the Green Chrysanthemum Workshop with Meng Ling Xuan.
