Li raised his eyes and glanced at her up and down, and said sarcastically, "I said to Aunt Hou, you are a little too greedy. It's only been a long time since you entered the Hou's Mansion that I want to compete with Song Baoling."

"It's not what I said. If it weren't for your child, I would have let Lian Xin rest assured." Li's few words made Hou Rui feel ashamed.

Li looked at her belly and looked at her, "Relying on the fact that she was pregnant, she really thought she was something."

After saying that, Li seemed to have thought of something when she was about to leave, so she came back and added, "Please take care of your mother, I don't want my son to be embarrassed with her."

Although Hou Rui was angry, she dared not refute it, and silently hated Li in her heart. If it weren't for the "child" in her belly, Mrs. Song wouldn't have agreed to come back.

The next day, Song Baoling went to the city to pick up a location. When the person came to know that she was a Miss Hou Mansion, he immediately became attentive. "Miss Song has any requests, so these places are the most prosperous areas in our country."

Zhang Hongyue was secretly happy. This was the Miss Hou's Mansion. If it became a big order, he would be able to make a lot of money.

"I don't want these areas. Are there any remaining areas in the west of the city?" Song Baoling asked with his chin on his back.

Seeing that the big order was about to fly, Zhang Hongyue smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, but the rest are all the locations are not very good. Miss Song, are you sure you want one there?"

Song Baoling nodded. Her purpose was to open a pharmacy to study medical skills and save people while doing so, and she didn't need a good location.

Besides, the money was deducted from the account, so she was naturally embarrassed to spend too much.

Seeing that she was so determined, Zhang Yuehong had to compromise. Then he found a relatively good location in the west of the city. The two signed an agreement and decided it.

The decoration of the storefront was naturally handed over to Zhang Yuehong. When Song Baoling went there on the day of opening, he was a little stunned because the Jin Mansion was not far from the pharmacy.

When Zhang Yuehong saw her face was not good, hesitantly asked, "Ms. Song, but isn't satisfied with the decoration of the storefront?"

Song Baoling shook his head slightly, "I'm very satisfied, but can I change this area?"

Zhang Yuehong apologized, "Sorry, Miss Song, if you are not satisfied with this store, you can dismantle and renovate it, but the location... it's really impossible to change."

"Okay, that's it." Song Baoling sighed and felt a little annoyed. She would have come to take a look in advance if she had known.

Although the location is awkward, the facade is indeed well decorated. The tables, chairs and wooden furniture inside are all made of good pear blossom wood, and the layout is also carefully designed.

Song Baoling nodded with satisfaction, so that he could come here every day in the future without having to defend the Li family everywhere at home.

She turned around and leaned on the desk to pick up the brush, and neatly wrote a few rows of words on the paper and handed them to Lianjiao, "Press this outside."

"Miss, is the pharmacy going to recruit people?" Lian Jiao asked in confusion. In her heart, the lady was already powerful enough.

Song Baoling couldn't argue with it, "I can't be in the pharmacy every day. If I recruit people, I can also let them sort out the medicinal materials, so I can be much more relaxed."

Zhang Hongyue's eyebrows were thumping when he heard this. He thought that Song Baoling made a profit from this store. He heard from the two of them that this Miss Hou Mansion was also good at medical skills?

He felt that Song Baoling was overestimating his abilities. Not to mention which lady from a family can learn medical skills, just talking about Song Baoling's age is suspicious.

Moreover, he has lived for so many years and has not seen many women know medical skills. Even if some of them are midwives, they are mostly midwives and only know some fur.

"Tsk~" Zhang Hongyue looked at the exquisitely decorated pharmacy with a pity, and only the rich lady dared to do this.

Song Baoling and Lian Jiao had no idea what he thought. They cleaned up and prepared to go home.

Not long after she left, Song Baoling heard a familiar voice calling her name. She turned her head in confusion and met Hou Chunhong's look of help.

Hou Chunhong was as excited as if she saw her savior. When she saw her, her eyes lit up, "Bao Ling! It's me, I am Aunt Hou's mother!"

Hou Chunhong kept calling her, but her body was suppressed by two strong men and could not break free.

Song Baoling frowned and walked over, and then he saw clearly that Hou Chunhong was at the door of a gambling family.

When Hou Chunhong saw her coming, she immediately became confident and began to struggle. "I said that I know the lady in the Hou Mansion. We can be considered a family, so why don't you let me go."

The two strong men let go of their hands when they heard this, but they still stood beside Hou Chunhong to prevent her from escaping.

"What's going on?" Song Baoling glanced at Hou Chunhong, and saw that her hair was torn to pieces and there was a pungent smell of alcohol on her body.

Lian Jiao was rushed to the smell and covered her nose with disgust. Song Baoling also took a step back.

"Miss Song, Hou Chunhong lost money with us today, so we were afraid that she would run away," explained one of the big men.

"I'll pay it back for her if she lost a lot." Song Baoling spoke. After all, it was Hou Rui's mother, and she didn't want to make a fuss too ugly.

The two strong men looked at each other and pushed Hou Chunhong forward and asked her to say it herself.

Hou Chunhong lowered her head and stretched out a finger. Song Baoling felt badly as she saw this situation, "Ten taels?"

The two big men smiled, "Miss Song is joking. If it's really just ten taels, we don't need to fight so much."

Hou Chunhong began to regret it at this moment, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito, "It's one hundred taels."

Lian Jiao took a deep breath when she heard this, "What?! One hundred taels! Are you crazy?!"

Song Baoling was also shocked by this huge amount. She suppressed the anger in her heart, "I don't carry so much money on me, can I check?"

The two great men naturally had no objection. "As long as you don't have to pay back the debt, then of course Ms. Song has the final say."

When the man left, he also mentioned, "We have been betting a lot of Hou Chunhong here during this period. We thought she had made great achievements, but it turned out that she had climbed to the Hou's Mansion."

Song Baoling paused and turned around, "How much has she gambled during this period?"

The big man did not hide it, "We don't know the specific ones, but there are also many people who lost more than today."

Song Baoling's heart sank, Lian Jiao exclaimed at the right time, "But where did she get so many..."

Hou Chunhong's head was so low that he wanted to get into the crack in the ground at this moment. He felt very regretful. If he had known, he would have brought more money.

She said she would pay it back, but she had run away too many times before, and the amount this time was too large, so people didn't believe it at all.

Seeing her guilty look, Song Baoling guessed how the money came about. The atmosphere on the way back was very low.

After returning to the mansion, Song Baoling immediately called the butler, "Butler Liu, go check the bill and make sure to list every account." Song Baoling's face was serious.

When Hou Chunhong heard this, she became frightened and slowly retreated. She wanted to slip away but was held by Song Baoling, "You go to the front hall with me."

Hou Chunhong immediately begged for mercy, "Bao Ling, let it go this time for my daughter's sake."
