Meng Feiji took a few steps forward and asked, "Mother, are you really willing to betroth your child to Song Xiang?"

Meng Xiru reprimanded him strictly: "Ji'er must not be presumptuous. You were born as a young master, but you don't control yourself with etiquette, are neither shy nor arrogant, and you still listen to your own marriage. What's the point?"

"You should retreat to the back hall first, and then I will come find you after I finish talking to Song Xiang!"

Meng Feiji glanced at Song Xiang reluctantly before walking slowly to the inner room.

Meng Xiru thought about Jiang Lan's letter and looked at Song Xiang again, and then connected Song Xiang's person with the words on the letter.

Jiang Lan said that Song Xiang's status was precious and could not be compromised. Could it be that this Song Xiang was also a relative of the emperor?

If you marry Ji'er to Song Xiang, you can have an extra layer of security in the future, which is better than staying in a small place like Puyang!

"Song Xiang, I heard that Mr. Shen is your fiancée. Is this true?"

Song Xiang frowned and said, "Shen Yubai and I had no choice but to confuse Mr. Zhuang. We pretended to be fiancées and went south to trade salt with Mr. Zhuang!"

Meng Xiru was very satisfied with Song Xiang's answer. She asked seriously: "Then are you really sure you want to marry Ji'er?"

Song Xiang replied seriously: "I'm sure! I have been in love with Fei Ji for a long time. If I can't marry him, I may regret it for the rest of my life!"

Meng Xiru nodded with satisfaction: "Since you are in love with me, I won't beat the couple!"

"If I marry Ji'er to you, you must treat him well and never do anything like the new or the old!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Meng, I will cherish Fei Ji!" Song Xiang said softly, "As for changing your mind when seeing new things, liking the new and hating the old, that doesn't exist!"

Meng Xiru said to Song Xiang: "Shen Yubai has told me what happened on the way before. The six carts of salt are already in my hands. The purpose of your trip has been achieved. You can return to Xuanyang Mansion at any time!"

"Shen Yubai thought you jumped into the river and died and was worried. Now he is resting in the guest house. If you are worried, you can go and reunite with him!"

Song Xiang held his hand and said: "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for your understanding. Song Xiang will leave!!"

After coming out of Meng Xiru's living room, a maid took Song Xiang to the guest house.

After Song Xiang disappeared, Shen Yubai didn't smile all day long and was depressed. He always felt that it was him who caused Song Xiang to jump into the river.

Song Xiang was led to the door of Shen Yubai's room by his maid, and he raised his voice and said, "Shen Yubai!"

Shen Yubai heard Song Xiang's voice, listened attentively, thought it was an auditory hallucination, and then leaned against the bed frame again.

A moment later, Song Xiang called out again: "Shen Yubai, are you there? Shen Yubai, are you in there?"

This time Shen Yubai was sure that it was really Song Xiang's voice. He got up and walked to the door and opened it.

Seeing Song Xiang at the door, his eyes instantly turned red: "Song Xiang? It's really you!"

"you are still alive?"

Song Xiang responded and said, "You let me in first. You can't say it at the door, right?"

Shen Yubai stepped aside and let Song Xiang enter the room. He said with a strong nasal voice: "Do you know, I thought you were dead!"

"It's a long story, Shen Yubai. I almost died when I jumped into the river. If a piece of driftwood hadn't suddenly appeared and I caught it in a panic, I might have gone to the underworld and been reincarnated!"

Song Xiang's words were thrilling, and Shen Yubai's heart was also raised: "Don't talk nonsense! Since you survived the disaster, you will have good fortune in the future!"

"Thanks to that piece of driftwood, when I arrived with the garrison troops, I couldn't see you at all. The current of the river was very fast. The garrison troops said that if someone jumped in, there would be no chance of living!"

"I didn't expect you to be alive. It's great that you came back alive!"

Song Xiang sat on the stool next to the table and said fearfully: "I was holding on to the driftwood. Finally, I lost strength and fainted. If it hadn't been for Master Meng's son to save me, I might have died long ago!"

"This is the second time I have fallen into the water. I have to stay away from the water in the future to avoid dying from the water again!"

Shen Yubai looked Song Xiang up and down, resisted the urge to get closer to her, and asked, "You were injured on your arms and back when you fell into the water. Are you feeling better now?"

Song Xiang raised his arm and said, "It's good, but it's not completely healed. The wounds on his arms and back are still there, and the scars on them are still red!"

Shen Yubai pursed his lips and said suddenly: "You were injured because of me. Song Xiang, don't worry, I will definitely find the best medicine in Dongling to remove your scars!"

Song Xiang waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not a man, I don't care if there are scars, as long as the wound heals and it doesn't hurt!"

"Don't be brave!" Shen Yubai's face was solemn, "When we get back to Xuanyang Mansion, I will find a famous doctor to diagnose and treat you!"

"The arrow wound is not a small injury. If it doesn't grow well, you will suffer for the rest of your life!"

Song Xiang was a little moved and said: "Shen Yubai, you don't need to do this for me. I saved you because of what Master Jiang told me. You don't need to be grateful to me!"

"Just treat me like you did before!"

"Shen Yubai, it's great to see you again in Puyang Mansion!"

Shen Yubai said in a low voice: "Since you disappeared, I have been hiring people to look for you, but there has been no news about you. Later, Lord Meng sent someone to find me, and I followed Lord Meng's people to Puyang!"

"I'm not familiar with the place in Puyang, I don't have enough manpower, and I don't have your portrait, so I can't find you at all!"

"Song Xiang, I blame myself very much. If I had let you go first, you would not have suffered this disaster!"

Song Xiang smiled and replied: "Don't think about these things anymore. If you had been in my place, you might have died a long time ago. How could someone as lucky as me have a noble man like Mr. Meng to save me!"

"When I was recuperating in Mr. Meng's villa, I asked him to find you. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you were living in Mr. Meng's house!"

"Shen Yubai, thank you for thinking about me!"

Shen Yu said insincerely: "Who cares about you?"

"I just don't want...I don't want you to lose your life because of me!"

Song Xiang returned to his usual appearance and asked Shen Yubai, "What happened here, when do you plan to return to Xuanyang?"

Shen Yubai replied hesitantly: "You are not well yet and cannot travel long distances. Should we wait for a few more days?"

"Besides, I want to find a few more doctors to take a look at your injuries!"

Song Xiang immediately refused and said: "Shen Yubai, there is really no need to find a doctor for me. I can accept it if you ask me to rest for a few more days. If I need to find a doctor again, there is no need!"

Shen Yubai said with an ugly face: "Song Xiang! Do you think I owe you the favor of saving my life?"

When Song Xiang heard this, he clicked his tongue: "Okay! Then I'll listen to you!"

After hearing Song Xiang's words, Shen Yubai's face looked better.

"Xiang Xiang!" Meng Feiji made a random excuse and slipped out from his mother's house. When he found out that Song Xiang had come to the guest house to see Shen Yubai, he instantly became jealous.
