Aunt Huai pointed her finger at Master Chen'an's face and cursed, "You are so ungrateful, if it weren't for your outstanding looks, I wouldn't have bothered to introduce you to such a career. But you actually blame and insult me!"

Young Master Chen An laughed and drove him away with disgust: "I thought of your age and didn't want to ruin my life's merits by saying harsh words. Who knew that you were disrespectful to your elders and said such disgusting words? You are really shameless. In this case, I don't have to worry about it. In the middle of the night, invite all the neighbors around to come and let them see what kind of face you have!"

"I've lived in the same alley for so long, and I didn't know you were doing this kind of business. It's really eye-opening!"

Seeing that Young Master Chen'an was unmoved by any persuasion, Aunt Huai thought there was no point in staying any longer, so she shook her sleeves and walked out angrily.

Sui'er deliberately poured the burnt paper money on Aunt Huai's body and said quietly, "Old man, if you want to find someone, then look for this old woman. It was she who bullied the young master. You can take revenge if you have a grudge, and you can complain if you have a grudge. Don't let this old woman commit evil in front of your mourning hall!"

Aunt Huai patted the paper money on her body, her legs went weak, she cursed the bad luck, and walked away in shame!

On the second day, Aunt Huai waited for Sister Niu at the agreed place and said with a guilty conscience, "Miss, yesterday's matter was not settled. Chen An was unwilling to do it. I am ashamed that I could not help you!"

Sister Niu didn't get angry after hearing this. She gave Aunt Huai another hundred bucks and said, "Keep a close eye on Master Chen'an for me. If you find him packing his bags and trying to run away, go to Changle Pavilion and notify me immediately!"

Aunt Huai agreed repeatedly, "Okay, okay, don't worry, young lady, I will keep a close eye on him for you and won't let him run out of this yard!"

"But Miss, Mr. Chen An has mortgaged his body to the brothel after all, and he doesn't live here often!"

Sister Niu said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about these. I have a lover in Changle Pavilion. I have been staying at his place recently. I will always know whether Master Chen'an will come back to the building. You just need to keep an eye on his yard and don't let him escape secretly!"

Aunt Huai responded solemnly: "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely do everything you asked me to do!"

Today is the day of Mr. Yang's funeral. Many aunts, uncles, and neighbors have come to the Yang family's yard. They helped Young Master Chen An carry the coffin out of the door, put it on the hearse, and take it out of the city for burial!

Young Master Chen An was dressed in mourning clothes, crying as he supported the hearse forward until they reached the burial place.

As the eldest son of Mr. Yang, Mr. Chen'an, who was dressed in mourning, stood at the front of the funeral procession and smashed the clay basin in his hand. Only when the coffin bearers heard the bang could they lift the coffin and put it into the dug pit.

After the funeral ceremony, Master Chen An returned to the yard to pack his luggage and then went to the brothel.

Aunt Huai followed Master Chen An all the way and watched him enter Changle Pavilion before reporting Master Chen An's whereabouts to Sister Niu inside.

At night, Master Chen'an proposed to the madam to release the mortgage. The madam did not make things too difficult for him. After all, Master Chen'an had made a lot of money for Changleguan in the past few years.

"Chen An, if you leave, I really won't be able to bear to let you go!"

Young Master Chen'an nodded slightly and said, "My father is dead, so there is no point for me to stay here. Besides, I have finally found out my life experience. If I don't go and see it myself, I will definitely be tormented!"

"If you hadn't been so kind and allowed me to help my father all these years, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have lived this long!"

The madam said with a smile: "You are no different from my godson. I like you from the bottom of my heart, so I indulge you. Now that you know the whereabouts of your biological mother and father, I will not keep you!"

"From your appearance, I can tell that your background must be extraordinary. I hope you can live a smooth life in the future!"

Young Master Chen An said sincerely: "Thank you for taking care of me for so many years!"

After saying goodbye to the madam, Master Chen An packed his luggage and took Sui'er back to Old Man Yang's house.

When Sister Niu got the news, she called Sister Dian and planned to visit Yang's house at night.

Who knew that Young Master Chen An had blocked the gates to the front and back yards so tightly that they had no way of getting in. After putting their hands on their hips and sighing at Yang's house, they returned to Changle Pavilion to continue thinking of a solution.

Sister Niu asked Sister Dian, "Did you find out the time when Master Chen'an left Puyang Mansion?"

Dianmei shook her head and said, "Only the madam and Master Chen'an know about this. I asked around but couldn't find out anything!"

"Besides, Master Chen An is very careful in his work, I'm afraid he won't leak his information. Last time we went to his sister's house, he was frightened, and now he is on guard against us!"

Sister Niu said in an unhappy tone: "Send all your servants out to guard him. I don't believe we can't catch him!"

"Can he and his servant dig a rat hole and get out of the city?"

Dianmei shrank her neck and said, "Sister Niu, what we are doing is against the law. If we are discovered, we will be in trouble!"

Sister Niu said disdainfully: "Only you, me and that old woman know about this kind of thing. Who would report us?"

Dianmei was still a little scared: "Sister Niu, why don't we just forget it! Although Mr. Chen'an is extremely handsome, he is not worth the risk!"

Sister Niu scolded: "Useless thing, if you dare to give up at this time, then our friendship will be severed, so as to avoid embarrassing me in the future!"

When Dianmei heard this, she had to swallow her grievances and follow Sister Niu's lead!

...

A day later, Meng Xiru sent someone to find Song Xiang to discuss the engagement with her.

Song Xiang followed the maid to Meng Xiru's study and saw her sitting at the table with a gloomy look in her eyes. She bowed her head and said, "Lord Meng, what do you want me to do?"

Meng Xiru raised her eyes and said, "You said before that you wanted to marry my Ji'er, what do you think now?"

Song Xiang was panicked for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Although I am a poor scholar, I really want to marry Fei Ji. If the wound on my body had not restricted my movements, I would have planned to propose marriage a long time ago!"

Meng Xiru nodded with satisfaction and said, "This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. You should prepare early!"

"Lord Jiang has urged you to go back to Xuanyang Prefecture several times. I can't keep you in Puyang forever!"

"Today you will accompany Ji'er to the corner gate outside the Sandalwood Temple. There is a fortune teller there, called the Divine Fortune Teller. He only tells three fortunes a day, and all of them come true. You two should go there and ask him to match you up with a match. If it is a match made in heaven, he should settle your relationship as soon as possible!"
