In the corner behind Meng Youning, two heads were close together.
After looking at Meng Youning's back a few times, they quickly retracted their heads.
"This woman doesn't look like she's from an ordinary family. Is it really okay for us to borrow her?"
"Of course it's no problem. You don't care if she's from an ordinary family. Look at her. She looks like she's about to fall over at the slightest gust of wind. Her family must have used up all their savings to scrape together the money for her medical treatment."
"But since this is money for medical treatment, will it displease the gods if we just borrow it?"
"If you say one more word, I will let you go to see your god now."
After that, the two of them fell silent instantly.
They clung to the corner of the wall and looked forward.
But suddenly he found that the weak figure in front of him was about to disappear.
Without a second thought, they hurriedly followed.
This woman actually went into this dark alley specifically. God must be helping them!
The two rubbed their hands together and exposed themselves directly.
“Hehehe…”
The two men laughed wildly and quickly ran forward to block Meng Youning's way.
Meng Youning raised her eyes and looked calmly at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her. "What's up, you two?"
The two of them instantly revealed a ferocious smile.
"This road is mine. If you want to pass by, you have to pay the toll."
Meng Youning suddenly realized, "Oh, so you are robbers."
When the two men saw that this woman was so sensible, they were immediately delighted.
One of them extended his hand towards Meng Youning, "Yes, quickly take out all the money you have on you. We just saw you go to the pawnshop and take away a lot of money."
Unexpectedly, the woman's screams and frightened expression did not appear.
Meng Youning just glanced around quickly, and finally his eyes fell on a shovel not far away.
Without saying a word, she rushed forward and took the shovel in her hand.
A bad feeling suddenly came over the two of them, "You...what are you doing?"
Meng Youning's lips curled slightly, "I don't have any money, but I can give you two night-shining pearls."
When the two heard this, they immediately became interested.
"Then what are you dawdling about? Hurry up and take it out."
Meng Youning drooped her eyelids slightly, and rushed towards the two people in front of her with a shovel in her hand. Without saying a word, she raised the shovel and hit each of them on the forehead.
In the blink of an eye, a big bump appeared on the forehead of each of them.
A man who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old turned sideways and looked at the person opposite him.
When his eyes touched the big bump on the other's forehead, he immediately laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, "Brother, you have a big bump on your forehead."
The man he called Big Brother's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fool, we were fooled by this woman."
Meng Youning snorted coldly, "It seems you are not that stupid."
At this moment, in a shop facing the alley.
Cang Hei swallowed his saliva calmly, then turned silently to look at Qi Ran beside him, "Prince, the Crown Princess is so powerful, does she really need our protection?"
Qi Ran suddenly fell silent.
Cang Hei reached out and tugged at Qi Ran's sleeve, "Prince, I think we should go back. It would not be good if the Crown Princess found out that you were following her."
Qi Ran flicked his sleeves and walked out of the store with confidence.
"Since she doesn't need my protection, let's go back."
Cang Hei, who was walking behind him, clearly heard the person in front of him mutter, "Originally, they said a hero would come to save the beauty."
Cang Hei's eyes darkened. Where did the prince come up with this idea?
In the alley.
Meng Youning acted fearless and said, "If you really want it, just go and ask His Majesty for it."
The two people who were about to rush forward stopped instantly and looked at each other.
"Brother, I don't think this woman is afraid of us at all. Could she be from some extraordinary background?"
The man he called "Big Brother" opened his lips slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the footsteps of many people coming from not far away.
The two men didn't even look at Meng Youning behind them, they just turned around and ran.
"Ningning! Why is it you?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Meng Youning turned around suddenly and saw Sang Luan looking at her in surprise.
He silently threw the shovel in his hand aside, casually brushed off the dust on his hands, and then walked towards Sang Luan.
"I have something I want to tell you, so I thought I'd come over here to pass on the news to you, but I didn't expect to run into two robberies."
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Luan'er, were you the one who caused the noise just now?"
Sang Luan nodded. "I thought some decent woman was being bullied, but I didn't expect it to be you."
She grabbed Meng Youning's arm and led her to the side. "Let's leave first. This isn't a good place to talk."
Soon, the two of them went to Tianxiang Tower in a low-key manner.
It was not until they arrived at private room No. 1 that the two of them relaxed.
Sang Luan leaned back, eyes half closed, "Ningning, what happened over there?"
When this was mentioned, Meng Youning sat up straight and silently pushed the cake in front of her towards Sang Luan. "This is a serious problem. Qi Ran actually prepared a birthday gift specifically for me. He also said that he wanted me to forget the past."
Sang Luan, who had just taken a sip of tea, suddenly spit it out.
She quickly took out a handkerchief, first wiped the corners of her mouth, and then wiped the water stains in front of her eyes.
He stared at Meng Youning intently, "What did you say? Qi Ran actually prepared a birthday gift for you?"
Meng Youning nodded, "Yes, I've been feeling like something's not right with him lately, but I can't put my finger on it."
After a moment of silence, Sang Luan slowly spoke, "Could it be that he really has fallen in love with you?"
Meng Youning shook her head. "Probably not. You and I both know Qi Ran's personality. Don't forget what kind of person he is. Even if it's true, he's just in a momentary mood with me."
Sang Luan lowered her head and thought about it seriously.
Ningning was not wrong in saying this, after all, Qi Ran's identity was there.
Although he currently has only Ningning as his legal wife, Qi Ran may take in ten or eight beautiful concubines before Bai Yueguang returns to Beijing.
Moreover, there is a plot in the original book where Qi Ran deliberately found some women from outside to take them into the prince's mansion in order to disgust Meng Youning.
Maybe nothing happened between Qi Ran and those women, but these people wandering around the mansion all day would more or less affect Meng Youning.
After a moment of silence, Sang Luan suddenly spoke, "Ningning, let me ask you, do you still remember what Qi Ran hates the most?"
Meng Youning answered casually, "Of course he hates everyone mentioning his sister Ling in front of him, and the things his sister Ling left for him."
Sang Luan waved towards Meng Youning, "I have a way to make sure Qi Ran never has any romantic thoughts about you again."
