I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"what?"

"Going to hell, is that what Xiangxiang wants?"

"Yeah. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. I gave him a chance."

Xiangxiang was very nervous. Normally, she shouldn't have human emotions, but her master suddenly played something so exciting that she could hardly keep up with Song Anning's pace.

After crossing a hill, they arrived at the valley. No matter how thin He Guangzong was, he was still an adult man. Song An Ning threw him aside with disgust, rubbed his sore arm, and sat aside to rest.

"Master, do you want to use the teleportation array? That can only be used by you. He can't get through."

Just now, she had thought of a solution, but she didn't know if it would work.

After drinking a bottle of water, Song An Ning moved his mind and put He Guangzong into the living creature grid. Standing at the edge of the teleportation array, he asked Xiang Xiang:

"what about now?"

"..."

"Master, you are cheating!"

Xiangxiang was unhappy and had a little moodiness! Song Anning smiled secretly. After all, she was the only one who passed it over. As for how much was in the backpack, that was uncertain!

The next moment, Song An Ning was standing in the python's lair. The big snake was coiled on a branch, leisurely enjoying the sea breeze. Seeing Song An Ning suddenly appear in its territory with a dangerous aura, it was scared out of its wits and ran away without looking back.

Song An Ning bought a bundle of ropes, walked a few dozen meters deeper into the forest, chose a sturdy tree, and tied He Guangzong firmly to the tree.

After all this trouble, He Guangzong finally woke up and looked around in confusion. Where was this?

Only when his eyes fell on Song An Ning did he begin to react.

"I am a Tongsheng! The only child of our He family, you can't hurt me."

After hearing what he said, Song An Ning burst out laughing. The last person who said he was the only child was still in jail.

Seeing that Song An Ning was unmoved, he twisted his body hard, trying to break free from the ropes, but the harder he struggled, the tighter the ropes became, until he started to have difficulty breathing, and then he really became scared.

"Aning, after all, we are engaged. For this reason, please let me go..."

"I can let you go, but I want to know some useful information. Shall we talk?"

Song An Ning circled around him, squatting down from time to time to dig out a few herbs. Xiangxiang said that there were many poisonous snakes and special medicinal herbs in this forest, so he could dig herbs while interrogating him so as not to waste time.

She had snake-repellent pills, but He Guangzong didn't. Just now, for a herb, Song An Ning walked more than ten meters to the other side. He Guangzong, who was no longer within the protection range, was instantly surrounded by poisonous snakes.

Seeing so many brightly colored poisonous snakes at once, He Guangzong, who was afraid of even insects, couldn't even speak clearly and could only scream "ah, ah".

"You, I'll tell you everything you want to know. Isn't that enough?"

It was effortless to get it. She just went to dig up some medicine and accidentally scared He Guangzong half to death, so she didn't have to torture him to get a confession.

“I had snake repellent herbs with me and they all ran away.

If I leave, you stay here..."

Song Anning raised her eyebrows at him. She knew that He Guangzong was an extremely selfish person. In order to survive, he would tell everything he knew.

"I'll tell you everything. Do you want to know about Wanhetang? I'll tell you everything."

He Guangzong closed his eyes resignedly. Just now, a red poisonous snake was about to bite his face. He thought that He Guangzong still had to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. He could not die like this. As long as he was alive, there was hope.

"Oh, I want to know who slapped your face? These panda eyes are really ugly."

"..."

So, Song An Ning tied him up and took him to a strange place, just to find out about the injury on his face?

"Yes, it was made by Wanhetang."

Hearing his halting words, Song An Ning was afraid that he had a story, so she decisively took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and listened while eating them.

"Go on, I want to hear the full story."

"As for the owner of Wanhetang, after you injured me, he still..."

"What else?"

Song Anning has lost eight or nine pounds recently. The fat on her face has decreased, making her eyes look big and round. She blinked her eyes and thought seriously, and couldn't help but add a sentence.

"And I asked you to come over and ask me for the recipe? You didn't get it, so you got beaten?"

"……Roughly the same."

He Guangzong's face flushed slightly, with a hint of indescribable embarrassment.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Song Anning changed the subject.

"Tell me about your relationship with Wanhetang and what you've done for them. This is your last chance, I want to hear everything!

Don't answer one question at a time, you'll soon lose your patience."

Not far away, more than a dozen snakes seemed to be fighting, with colorful snakes entangled together, which made people's scalps tingle.

This was exactly the effect Song An Ning wanted. He Guangzong looked at the poisonous snakes and trembled with fear. If these snakes crawled onto him, he would rather die immediately.

“I’ve never met the owner of Wanhetang, and I don’t know.

Wanhetang and Qianweilou have two managers, each responsible for their own business, but major matters are still decided by the owner."

You're a cuckold, so you don't show up, right?

Song Anning nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"I, I have some friendship with the manager of Wanhetang. He gave me money to help me pay my tuition. If I get out of school, I will go to accompany him."

"Tsk, one is greedy for money and the other is lustful?"

He Guangzong was very embarrassed when his former fiancée knew all this, and then he heard Song Anning ask:

"So, you found a big tree to rely on and wanted to break off the engagement as soon as possible, so you did those things to my family?"

"No, I didn't intend to cancel the engagement at first, nor did I intend to poison you. It was just that the steward found out about our engagement and forced me to poison you.

And your father and your elder brother were also captured by him."

"Is that the beach you mentioned last time?"

"Actually, I don't know the details, and I don't dare to ask in detail. But one time, they mentioned that they were short of people, and it would be a good idea to send your father and your eldest brother over to work there."

Song An Ning was a little puzzled. Given the temperament of the He family, if they knew that their son had married into a wealthy family, they would definitely come to her house to cancel the engagement immediately. Why would He Guangzong have to go to so much trouble?

I thought about it and couldn't help asking.

"You could have just called off the engagement and married the manager instead. Why did you bring this upon my family?"

"We can't get married."

His face turned purple, and seeing that Song An Ning still didn't understand, he just told her directly.

"The manager of Wanhetang is a man, a burly man in his forties, who likes to date weak scholars...

I have no choice, my family doesn’t have much money…”

In Song An Ning's ears, all he could hear was: a burly man likes a weak scholar...

"Ah, Master, this... is such a mess... I can't stand it..."

Xiangxiang screamed crazily in her mind, and Song Anning felt her face turn yellow. She automatically imagined many scenes and said to Xiangxiang:

"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking..."

"..."
