A servant said, "We can't do without someone in our building. Your young lady just gave me a hundred bucks and asked me to keep an eye on Mr. Chen An. I don't have three heads and six arms, so how can I keep an eye on him? Besides, I have work to do in the building. If the madam finds out that I am doing something for your young lady, I'm afraid she will sell me out again!"

The former maid scolded: "You are such a tactless person. It is a blessing for you that my lady has hired you. Don't be ungrateful!"

The servant mocked, "Oh! I have so many young ladies who have been employed by me, your young lady won't make a difference. Do whatever you want, I won't serve you anymore!"

After saying this, the servant ran away quickly, leaving the maid stomping her feet in anger.

"The young lady's marriage proposal has fallen through!"

Song Xiang asked Meng Feiji to wait in the carriage. She went to the yamen alone, found the matchmaker who had gone to the yamen, and completed more than half of the etiquette of the three books and six ceremonies in one go.

The official matchmaker asked Song Xiang to write the engagement letter according to the procedure, and then the matchmaker went to negotiate with the man's family about the proposal and the name. When the day of the engagement came, the official matchmaker asked Song Xiang to bring the engagement gift and go together.

Song Xiang paid the money at the government office and urged them to get it done as soon as possible within the next two days before he left the house with satisfaction.

After returning to the carriage, Meng Feiji couldn't hide his excitement and asked, "Have you made an agreement with them?"

"Then when will they come to propose marriage?"

Song Xiang smiled and replied: "Today!"

"Fei Ji, I want to give you a gift on the day of the engagement. Do you want to go to the Treasure Pavilion with me or go home and wait for the news?"

Meng Feiji said: "I want to go home and wait for news!"

"If I look at the engagement token you gave me now, how can I still be surprised?"

Song Xiang said lovingly, "Then I'll ask the driver to take you back. The Treasure Pavilion is in front, and I'll just get off in front!"

When they arrived at the door of the Treasure Pavilion, Song Xiang jumped down from the shaft of the carriage, walked to the window and whispered a few words to Meng Feiji before watching the carriage leave.

Song Xiang turned and went into the Treasure Pavilion, selected a purple gold crown inlaid with red gems, paid the money, and walked out with a smile on his face.

When she reached the street, she was bumped by someone. Before Song Xiang could react, she heard a series of apologies.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me if I'm rude!"

Song Xiang frowned and was about to scold, but when he lowered his head, he found that the person who bumped into him was Master Chen An from Changle Pavilion!

"Why are you so embarrassed, as if you are being chased by someone?"

Young Master Chen An looked around in panic, said sorry, let go of Song Xiang's clothes and ran away!

Song Xiang followed Master Chen An into an alley and saw him holding his stomach and leaning against the wall, gasping for breath and looking back, so he walked forward.

Young Master Chen An didn't expect that the passerby he bumped into earlier was actually the person who saved him last time. He stood up and said in astonishment: "I... I didn't mean to do that..."

Song Xiang said calmly: "What happened? Why are you running so fast?"

Before Master Chen'an could say anything, Sister Niu's angry voice could be heard from behind: "You are such a good bastard, Yang Chen'an. It is your blessing that I like you and want to take you as my servant. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and even want to run away!"

Dian Mei panted and said, "Master Chen'an, don't run away. Sister Niu sent people to the official media today just to ask them to go to your house to propose marriage. Who knew you were so timid? I thought Sister Niu was going to do something to you, and you ran away as soon as you saw us!"

Sister Niu said in an unhappy tone: "Mr. Chen'an, I heard that you redeemed the mortgage from Changle Pavilion and are now a free man. Moreover, you are alone and have no one to rely on, so the matter of marriage should be put on the agenda!"

"Why don't you marry me? Let's put an end to this important matter."

Young Master Chen An sneered and said sarcastically, "How shameless!"

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"I don't care what your background is or what your purpose is. If you continue to harass me, I will report you to the government office and let the prefect decide for me!"

Sister Niu frowned and said angrily: "I really want to marry you, so what's the crime? Don't be ungrateful!"

Young Master Chen An asked angrily, "You haven't forgotten about trespassing into a private residence, have you?"

Sister Niu was a little scared, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Don't talk nonsense. When did we break into someone's house?"

"Besides, you are slandering me like this, do you have any evidence?"

Song Xiang couldn't stand it anymore and directly scolded him, "I didn't expect that there are still such shameless people under the rule of Lord Meng. It really opens my eyes!"

"You two rascals are looking for trouble and harassing decent men. You simply disregard the law!"

"In that case, why don't we go to the prefectural government office and talk it out. It just so happens that when I passed by this young master's house last time, I heard the sound of a hooligan disturbing the people, so I might as well be a witness for this young master!"

"According to the laws of our dynasty, a hundred lashes of the cane are not enough for a lawless criminal like you!"

Sister Dian listened with trepidation. She kept looking at Sister Niu, her tone unable to conceal her panic: "Sister Niu, let's go quickly, and let's not look for Master Chen'an anymore!"

"It would be troublesome if I was caught and thrown into jail!"

Sister Niu insisted, "What are you afraid of? They are powerless, can they really arrest us?"

Dianmei pulled Sister Niu and said, "Sister Niu, let's go. I'm a little scared!"

Song Xiang continued, "You two committed crimes in broad daylight, defying the law. Aren't you hoping that no one will punish you?"

"Haha, whatever you want to do to this young master, just come over here and let me see what you two can do!"

"I have never seen a bastard female thug who committed a crime in defiance of the patrolling city soldiers!"

Sister Niu was so angry that she yelled, "Where did you come from? My affairs with Master Chen'an have nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

"Leave now, or I'll beat you too!"

Song Xiang snorted coldly and threatened: "I have learned some martial arts skills, which are enough to deal with you two. Since you two are not looking for a good time, I will tie you two up, hand you over to the patrol soldiers, and take you to the prefectural government office for trial!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come over here to die!"

Seeing this, Dian Mei said timidly, "Sister Niu, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now. If my mother knew that I acted like this, then the power of the head of the family would definitely be taken back!"

"Besides, we are risking punishment for doing this. Our lives are at stake. I can't keep making mistakes like this!"

Sister Niu clenched her fists in anger and cursed: "Your mother, come back soon!"

Dianmei ran a few steps and said, "That young master Chen'an was married to you, not to me. Why?"

After saying this, she ran away!

Sister Niu gnashed her teeth and cursed Song Xiang, "You can protect him today, but you can't protect him forever. Next time I catch him and take his body, I'll come back to settle the score with you!"
