Ling Feng was silent for a while.

Zi Su was just joking and teasing him, but seeing his reaction, Zi Su thought for a moment and suddenly became a little angry.

"I forgot that although General Ling is the prince's guard, he is also a fourth-rank military commander. How can we, as maids, dream of becoming the general's wife?"

"However, if you want Molan to be your concubine, I advise you to save your thoughts."

They gave up their jobs as well-known maids by the princess' side and chose to be concubines? They must be crazy.

"not me……"

Zi Su was too lazy to continue arguing with him, so she turned around and waited outside the main room.

Ling Feng had a headache for a moment. Although Zi Su spoke bluntly, she at least saw what he was thinking.

And the girl Molan has a head obsessed with martial arts.

I brought her some snacks myself and she said they were delicious, but the kitchen at home was also good, so there was no need to buy them specially.

I gave her some cloth myself, but she said that the cloth the princess gave her as a reward was better and she couldn't wear all of it.

Finally, he found the rare sword manual and gave it to her beloved one.

She liked him, but she wanted to pull me in and make him her sworn brother.

Ling Feng was so angry that he almost snatched the sword manual back.

This time, I found a boxing book and was planning to take the opportunity to give it to Molan to express my feelings...

He originally wanted to do it quietly and subtly first, and then let it come to fruition naturally.

Now, he understood. If he didn't expose it, how could he expect Molan, who was obsessed with martial arts, to figure it out?

The prince's second child can only play a supporting role, so he may not be able to marry her.

But what Shisu said just now also makes sense.

Molan was a maid and was a slave.

If she doesn't raise her citizenship, he can't marry her.

Even if she was of good family background and he married her, when she went out to make friends in the future, she would still be looked down upon because of her background.

He wanted to marry Molan because he wanted to be with her day and night, and share the joys and sorrows with her... just like the prince and the princess, who understood each other and accompanied each other.

I don’t want her to silently endure the grievances because of me.

What should he do?

Ling Feng put the boxing book he had found back into his chest pocket.

Before he could think of a solution, he decided... not to confess to Molan yet.

……

After being warned by King Cheng, Princess Cheng told herself to "just stand by and watch."

She supervised her children's studies and asked about their daily lives every day. She really did not take the initiative to do anything for Song Mingli, nor did she urge Su Zhengyang.

But she also asked people to keep an eye on what was going on outside.

That day, Nanny Tian came hurriedly to report.

"Princess, the prices of shops and land on Yong'an Street have increased."

Princess Cheng was slightly stunned. Yong'an Street?

"When Prince Cheng wanted to buy the land over there, you asked the Xu family to buy a few shops as well. Later, Yong'an Street was built, and we didn't hear any news about it afterwards."

"The business over there is not going well, and the shop can't be rented out. The master complained about you several times. Have you forgotten?"

Princess Cheng really didn't remember this incident, but when Nanny Tian said that her father complained about her, she remembered it.

"It's good that the price has increased. This way Dad can sell the shop and can't blame me anymore."

"The master asked someone to ask if the court would vigorously support Yong'an Street?" Nanny Tian whispered, "If the price can still go up, they won't sell it for now."

"How much has the price increased?" asked Princess Cheng.

"The land that originally cost fifty taels per mu has now increased to eighty taels. The shop that originally cost two hundred taels has now increased to three hundred taels."

Seeing that the princess didn't care, Nanny Tian explained, "At the beginning, we were selling at a loss of thirty taels per mu and couldn't sell them. Now it can be raised to eighty taels, which is a lot higher."

Only then did Princess Cheng become serious.

"Take another look, and keep an eye on other people. Has our shop and land been sold?"

"not yet."

"Then tell Daddy and wait a little longer."

Nanny Tian agreed.

"By the way, what is Song Mingli doing recently?" Princess Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Nanny Tian was paying close attention, fearing that if the princess asked, she would not be able to answer.

Now that the princess asked, she was relieved. Fortunately, she had been prepared. "Princess Jing has been going to Chengnan Village frequently recently. I heard that she went to visit a lame scholar."

Upon hearing this, Princess Cheng immediately smiled disdainfully, "She has been hanging out with the lowly people all day long. She has really fallen into depravity!"

"I'm afraid that when I see her again, she will smell like a poor woman."

At this time, the maid brought invitations from other noble ladies.

Princess Cheng smiled even more, "This is the kind of person we should associate with. The Song family is really stupid."

"Pack up and let's go to the banquet."

……

Nanny Tian’s information is accurate.

Song Mingli is in Chengnan Village at this moment. Chengnan Village and Yong'an Street are located across a river from each other.

Originally, Yong'an Street was all cultivated land of Chengnan Village, but now, some of the land has been turned into shops, while some are still deserted.

Yong'an Street, which used to be as deserted as a ghost street, now has some popularity.

But these people are not here to shop.

"It's sold. I finally sold it! I finally got rid of it!"

Some people were so happy that they cried and moved out of Yong'an Street that same day.

Qi Liang was very quick in buying land and shops.

Now, half of the shops in the Yong'an Street area are in his hands.

Because of his crazy acquisitions, the prices of shops and land have increased a lot.

Some people are still waiting and watching and have not taken any action yet.

Song Mingli was not in a hurry, so Qi Liang came to ask her whether she wanted to continue buying.

She replied confidently, "As long as someone is selling, keep buying."

She didn't seem to be afraid of buying it and then getting upset.

"Princess..." Zi Su called her worriedly.

Looking at the merchants across the street who were cheering for selling their shops... Zi Su felt that her own princess was like the unfortunate one who took over an unfinished business.

Song Mingli came back to his senses and smiled, "Let's go, let's go see Meng Fanhai."

Meng Fanhai was sitting in his yard, brewing the tea he had made himself, smelling the fragrance of the tea while reading.

"Mr. Meng, look who's here to see you!"

The village head stood in front of the open door and shouted to Meng Fanhai who was engrossed in reading.

When Meng Fanhai looked up and saw Song Mingli and others, he immediately smiled and stood up to greet them.

Although he was limping, he was in high spirits at the moment.

Because of what Song Mingli handed over, matters in Nancun have been reviewed one by one.

Some of the wronged people in Nancun received compensation, while others saw their enemies brought down and imprisoned, which made them very happy.

Seeing Song Mingli coming to see him again, Meng Fanhai was excited and a little embarrassed.

"The house is simple, Princess, please take a seat, please."

Meng Fanhai limped to give up his seat to Song Mingli.

"The last time I came to see you, I advised you to go to Nanxing to check your feet, but Nanxing said you never went."

"This time, I brought Nanxing to you." Song Mingli didn't sit down, but pressed Nanxing on the chair, "Thank you for your hard work, Nanxing, take a look at him, can his foot be healed?"

Meng Fanhai's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.

"I've seen a doctor, but he said there's no cure. And, after so many years... it can't be cured."

When Song Mingli heard him say this, he stopped talking about medical treatment and started talking about Yong'an Street instead.

"The problems in Nancun are being solved bit by bit, but if we want to change their lives, we are still not doing enough."

When Meng Fanhai heard her say this, he suddenly raised his head with a focused look.

"I plan to build a college on Yong'an Street. The environment here is good, far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, and it is a good place to study."

"Of course, once the college is built and more students come, the commercial street will also prosper, and it will also be more convenient for students' lives."

"By then, will the people of Nancun, who are close to the water, still be worried about not being able to make a good living? Starting a small business, even selling vegetables, would be easier than it is now, right?"

Meng Fanhai listened attentively. He imagined the scene described by Song Mingli, and a warm feeling surged in his chest.

"That's great! If the princess can do this, it will really benefit the people of Nancun!"
