I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Song Lan really suffered this time. He was hungry in the gambling house for three days. Although he did not suffer any physical pain, it was unforgettable for a man like him who grew up in a pampered life.

He even lost his ancestral property, and now he regrets his decision and wants to make up for the loss of his family.

However, his medical skills were limited to treating common illnesses, and other clinics did not need him, so being able to stay here and earn two taels of silver every month was already very good.

An Muxi felt that Song Lan could still be saved. He was not like that playboy who was completely bad. At least when he heard that his family was selling their ancestral property for him, he felt remorseful.

She thought she should give him a chance and observe him first, so that Uncle Song could help her run the shop with peace of mind.

She then asked, "Mr. Song, what is the name of your classmate? I don't think this is a coincidence. I can help you investigate.

From now on, I am the boss here and I will definitely make sure that similar things don’t happen again.

I also hope you can learn from this and be careful when making friends. If you cause losses to the clinic in the future,

I'm afraid that I will not only hold you accountable, but I will also not allow you and your son to stay here any longer."

Upon hearing this angel-like woman speak of him like this, Song Lan lowered his head in shame, feeling ashamed.

"My classmate is called Xue Fei. We didn't have a good relationship before, but last year he started to come and hang out with me and even took me out for drinks. We gradually became familiar with each other. From now on I won't trust anyone so easily."

Song Liang nodded secretly. His son might not listen to him, but Miss An's words must have made his son feel ashamed and guilty.

I hope he can really turn over a new leaf in the future. Miss An is really the benefactor of their family. The problem that the old couple couldn't sleep yesterday was easily solved today.

He also dealt with the debt collector.

It seems that Miss An's background is not ordinary. However, Song Liang also knew that if she didn't say it on her own initiative, he shouldn't ask. He just needed to do his part.

An Muxi nodded, and then said to Song Liang: "Uncle Song, I'd like to trouble you to make two more wooden cabinets in the next few days to store the prepared pills.

There is also the clinic that needs to be cleaned and the walls painted white. You can hire someone to do it and just pay with the silver I gave you.

Ask someone to clean up the backyard and vacate a few rooms on the second floor to make them habitable. Buy whatever you need. I'll come and take a look in a few days.

For the rest, just continue to run your business as before.”

One thousand taels is more than enough to cover these expenses. An Muxi is also secretly testing Song Liang's character. If he is trustworthy, she can let him manage the business in the future.

After everything was cleaned up, she asked Xiaoyun to come over and help.

In a large courtyard on the edge of East City, winter is about to arrive and the cold wind is blowing, making the branches in the courtyard creak.

This courtyard is very large. In Dongcheng, if a house has four courtyards, it must belong to a royal relative. However, there are not many servants in the courtyard.

The walls were mottled and the houses inside looked old. There were only a few ordinary trees planted in the yard, and all of them were bare and had lost all their leaves.

Inside the main room, a white hand with distinct joints clenched and unclenched a white silk handkerchief, then placed it on the candle flame and lit it. When it was about to burn out, it let go and placed it in an open incense burner.

Suddenly, a clear and sweet female voice came from behind: "An An, I'm here to see you."

Li Yian's body froze, and when he turned around, he saw Dai Meng standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

Dai Meng smelled a burning smell and asked curiously, "Are you burning something?"

After saying that, he stretched his head to take a look at the smoking incense burner, and happened to see a white corner inside, which seemed to have some pattern embroidered on it. It looked a bit like a fat duck.

Dai Meng looked at Li Yian with her big black eyes, looking ignorant: "An'an, what is that?"

Li Yian ignored her, covered the incense burner with a lid, and then said lightly: "Why are you here?"

At this time, an elderly maid came in, put down the tray in her hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this lady said she is your friend, so I let her in.

I made you a pot of tea, enjoy it."

Li Yian nodded and said, "Aunt Cai, you have difficulty walking, so just let the servant do it."

Aunt Cai chuckled and looked at him with satisfaction: "It's rare for you to have guests here, I would like to entertain them myself. It's okay." After saying that, she slowly walked out.

Aunt Cai was the maid that came with Li Yi'an's mother as a dowry. After his mother passed away, it was thanks to her that she took care of him and accompanied him all the way. In the palace, she was bullied for protecting him, and her legs became diseased. Now that she is old, it is becoming more and more inconvenient for her to walk.

He had long regarded Aunt Cai as half a mother, so now he called her Aunt Cai.

Now that he has grown up and has set up his own household, he is also able to provide for Aunt Cai in her old age.

He knew what Aunt Cai meant by that look just now. Aunt Cai must also hope that he could get married soon.

Aunt Cai was very pleased that a woman came to her house, and she let her in directly.

Dai Meng watched the interaction between Li Yian and the old lady and asked curiously, "Who is this?"

Li Yian said: "She was my mother's maidservant who came with me as a dowry, and she was also the one who protected me all the way to my childhood."

Dai Meng understood: "Then we must take good care of her in the future so that she can enjoy her old age."

Li Yian looked at the pretty girl in front of him, and when he heard her say "we", he felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

Am I really going to spend the rest of my life with her?

He hadn't been to the bookstore for a few days since he came back from the palace last time, and he felt his mind was in a mess.

He didn't know how things turned out like this. Dai Meng's arrival completely disrupted his life and his heart.

He figured it out. Since the unspeakable thing had already happened to both of them and he had promised to take responsibility, he should say goodbye to his past self once and for all.

So today he took out An Muxi's handkerchief that he had secretly hidden. This was the first time in his life that he witnessed his heart throbbing for a woman.

Before he could figure out how he felt about An Muxi, Dai Meng aggressively barged into his heart, almost squeezing out the only thought he had.

He found that he had been dreaming a lot in the past two days. Even when he closed his eyes to sleep, he would still think of the scenes that happened in the palace.

Burn it. Since you have decided to accept the dream substitution, you can't think about other women anymore, especially since that woman is the concubine of the third prince.

Dai Meng felt a little dissatisfied when he saw Li Yian standing in a daze in front of him. Could it be that this guy has someone else in his heart?

Pretending to be wronged, she said, "An An, I missed you so much these past two days. You didn't come to see me, so I went to the bookstore to look for you, but you weren't there. Then I asked around and found you in your palace.

But you are still so cold. I know you don't like me, but I will try my best to become the person you like. Can you be nicer to me?"

She knew that the idea of ​​male superiority over female was deeply rooted in Tiansheng Country. She couldn't be as strong as she was in Tianyue, so it was okay to lower her posture. Who made her like it?

Besides, I have already done so much, even sacrificed my beauty, I must marry her.

As for the future, she will train him slowly, and she believes that Li Yian will not be able to escape from her control.

Li Yian looked at Dai Meng's black eyes like wet grapes looking at him, and his heart softened.

It wasn't her responsibility that what happened between them. He was actually a little flattered that she, as the Crown Princess of Tianyue, was willing to condescend to take care of his feelings.

He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Dai Meng: "Sit down and have a cup of tea. Let's have lunch in the mansion today, right?"

Dai Meng was delighted. It seemed that this guy really would give in to soft tactics, so she nodded with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay. I like eating with An An the most."

Then he took the tea handed to him by Li Yian and drank it in one breath. He almost choked.

She started coughing violently, and Li Yian was startled. He subconsciously stood up and wanted to pat her on the back. He hesitated again.

Dai Meng's face turned red from coughing and tears were about to come out of her eyes. Li Yian didn't hesitate and walked over to pat her on the back gently.

Dai Meng fell into Li Yian's arms: "An'an, you are so nice."
