Chapter 46: Fell in love with the other brother
Mingzhao also moved to a seat by the window, looking down and clearing his mind.
This location was at the back of Wuweizhai, and soon the person he was talking about just now appeared in his sight.
Xie Weisong was just turning out of the alley, followed by a servant.
"Tianyu, follow and see."
"Yes." Tianyu also looked out the window, and after seeing the person, he knew what Mingzhao wanted him to do.
Tian Feng opened the door from the outside and said, "Sir, the Second and Third Young Masters are here."
Mingzhao also looked towards the door, "You're here just in time. Your elder brother Yu has left, so it's just right for you to finish cooking this meal."
Ming Zhouqing sat next to him and asked, "Did Brother Yu break the appointment?"
"No, he came and left."
Ming Zhouhe asked, "Brother, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Mingzhao nodded slightly. "Xie Xuezhi has someone squatting outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion to get information about Cousin Li's whereabouts. I've already warned them. Xie Weisong and Xie Xuezhi have an unusual relationship. Xie Xuezhi is very afraid of Xie Weisong."
"Now that Xie Xuezhi is not in the Xie Mansion, we need to investigate further before we can make a conclusion."
Ming Zhouqing was puzzled, "When did you ask Big Brother to do something for you? Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's no use telling you. Don't you still have to go to the military camp with me?" Ming Zhouhe glanced at him.
Ming Zhouqing was speechless after hearing this. After a while, he asked again, "Has the Xie family set their sights on Cousin Li?"
"Yeah." Ming Zhouhe responded.
About half an hour later, Tianyu came back, stood beside Mingzhaohuan, and glanced at Mingzhou and Mingzhouqing.
Mingzhao also instructed: "Speak frankly."
"Xie Weisong's clothes have lipstick marks and the smell of powder. The street he came from is two alleys away, and there is a place of prostitution. Sir, do you want me to investigate again immediately?"
"Well, go ahead. You can reveal your identity when necessary."
"Yes." Tianyu went out again.
"Heh!" After the door closed again, Ming Zhouhe snorted, his face a little cold.
Ming Zhouqing looked at Ming Zhaohuan and found that his elder brother's face was not very good either. "What's wrong?"
Ming Zhouhe's eyes remained cold and stern. "As far as I know, the Xie family sent a matchmaker to ask for my cousin's hand in marriage. Now we know that he is very likely to frequent brothels. So why could Xie Xuezhi have invited him to her house so attentively the first time they met? "
"She was probably looking for a good-looking woman for Xie Weisong, and she happened to see my cousin, so she came up with a plan and started a conversation with her."
"Later, he sent someone to spy on my whereabouts and pretended to meet me by chance. He must have wanted to build a good relationship with me and invite my cousin to the Xie Mansion when the time was right. Isn't it easy for Xie Weisong to do something in his own mansion?"
"If they are even more shameless and vicious, they might do something that is already a fait accompli." Ming Zhouhe's face grew colder and colder as he thought about it, and he was filled with anger.
"As for the relationship between the siblings, whether it's something shameful or something else, that remains to be investigated."
Ming Zhouqing's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he was silent for a moment, "That's not impossible, but I didn't know Xie Weisong was a lustful person before."
"If people knew about it, it would affect his reputation, as well as that of Left Censor-in-Chief Xie Lingdong. The former might be expelled from the Imperial College and his exams would be affected, while the latter might be impeached. He wouldn't let anyone know about his visits to brothels," Mingzhao explained, lowering his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing a cold expression. "I guess Xie Weisong must be very cautious about visiting brothels."
"I sent people to follow him all these days, but he never went there."
Ming Zhouqing: "How did you first know that Xie Xuezhi had ill intentions towards Cousin Li?"
"It was my cousin who became alert and asked me to check it out." Ming Zhouhe replied.
"Cousin Li has always been very smart, so it's not surprising that she noticed it herself."
Mingzhao also remembered the look in Xie Weisong's eyes when he looked at Li on the outskirts of the city, and he became more certain of his own and Mingzhouhe's guesses.
…
Zheng Mansion.
As soon as she entered the house, Madam Zheng dismissed the servants and took Zheng Leyun by the hand and asked, "Yun'er, what do you think of Madam Ming Er?"
Zheng Leyun was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Second Madam Ming is very kind and especially dotes on the younger sister of the Shi family. Why does mother ask this? Is there something wrong?"
Madam Zheng smiled and asked, "What do you think of the Third Young Master Ming?"
Zheng Lejun realized what was happening and blushed, "So, you've been visiting Madam Ming Er recently because of your daughter's marriage?"
"Have you figured it out?" Madam Zheng smiled at her. "If you think it's okay, I'll invite Madam Ming Er to go to Tongguang Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha."
After the break-off, Mrs. Zheng felt that if she wanted to find a husband for her daughter, she had to personally select the right one. Otherwise, if she just listened to the matchmaker's words and turned bad into good and black into white, it would be harmful to her daughter.
Zheng Lejun sat up straight, blushing as she thought of the two young masters she had met in the pavilion. She bit her lip and said after a moment, "Mr. Ming San is quite good. He's handsome, friendly to his sisters, and takes good care of his younger sister. He must be a good person."
"But I have a deeper impression of the Second Young Master Ming. He is cheerful and loves to laugh. He is easy-going and more friendly." The Second Young Master Ming looks very good when he smiles, and he has a unique charm.
"What you mean...it sounds like you think the Second Young Master Ming is more to your liking?" Mrs. Zheng's expression became complicated after hearing this.
My daughter didn’t like the guy she was dating, but now she likes his brother?
Zheng Leyun nodded embarrassedly.
"Let me think about how to tell Madam Ming Er." Madam Zheng tugged at her handkerchief, feeling conflicted.
Seeing her daughter's shy look, she sighed inwardly, "Yun'er, go back and rest first. I will invite Madam Ming Er to come to the house in two days."
Since she thinks the Second Young Master Ming is better, then she has to be in contact with the Duke's wife, and she has to ask the Second Madam Ming to act as a link, which is quite embarrassing.
Zheng Leyun felt a little nervous and uneasy, "Okay, mother, you have worked hard for your daughter. Thank you for your hard work."
In Wuweizhai, the three of them chatted while waiting for Tianyu to come back.
Ming Zhouqing asked, "Brother, you three have always had a good relationship, why don't you invite Brother Ji to come as well?"
"He's been busy investigating a case lately. He's been elusive, so let's not disturb him." Mingzhao withdrew his gaze from the other window.
That is the third floor of Hua Shi Meng.
"Any major cases lately?"
"I didn't ask him."
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and then Tianyu pushed the door open and walked in, bowing to the few people, "Sir, two young masters."
Mingzhao still looked at him and asked, "Did you gain anything?"
Tianyu nodded, his expression somewhat serious.
He said, "I made inquiries along the way and finally confirmed that Xie Weisong had gone to Fengliu Tower. He doesn't go there often, but at least once a month."
"Recently, Fengliu Tower selected a courtesan. Xie Weisong went there for the courtesan and spent a large sum of money to buy her first night with him. Xie Weisong stayed overnight and got up late today, so you can see him in the back street."
Tianyu frowned as he spoke.
