Chapter 28 Searching the Capital



Chu Weiyue looked him up and down. This man had a suave appearance and gave people a gentle and pleasant feeling.

Normally, this kind of man should be the object of admiration of many women, but for some reason, he looks quite awkward.

Especially the aura he exudes in his every move and conversation, making him look like a complete hypocrite!

Without thinking too much, he went to the room inside and sat down very close to the Wenjing Pond.

"Chu Weiyue, you really haunt me!"

Now Wen Jingchi has become accustomed to being pestered by her. He no longer feels as angry as he did at the beginning, but more irritated and depressed.

"It doesn't matter. After a while, you'll want me to follow you. If I don't follow you, you'll still want me to follow you..."

Wen Jingchi's face changed, as if he was greatly offended, and he walked away angrily.

I chased him all the way outside, but found that he had disappeared. I shrugged indifferently and went straight back to the hall.

I happened to find that Song Qiuchang was chatting with the man just now.

Because someone called him, the man left first, and Chu Weiyue went over.

"Who is he, sister?" Chu Weiyue asked depressedly.

"Sister Weiyue, his name is Li Taiming. I just met him. I found that he is not very knowledgeable and eloquent. I have never seen a man as knowledgeable as him..."

Looking at the excitement in her eyes, Chu Weiyue instantly realized that Song Qiuchang might have developed a good impression of him.

"Sister, I don't know why, but he seems a little strange to me. You'd better be careful, especially with money."

This made Song Qiuchang chuckle: "Sister, you think too much. Those who can climb the Wenqu Tower must be talented. They often regard money as dirt. Isn't it defiled to talk about money? Besides, Mr. Li is very wealthy, and he doesn't care about my small money."

"But I see him..."

"Okay, I know you're doing this for my own good, but you're really worrying too much about this matter."

Song Qiuchang gently hugged Chu Weiyue's arm, smiling as beautifully as a flower.

Since she was so sure, Chu Weiyue didn't know what to say. Once a woman reached a dead end, no one could persuade her!

Now she just hoped that she was really worrying too much.

At this time, Li Taiming, who had just disappeared, came back and stood in the middle shouting to everyone.

"Everyone, today is the first time that Li Taiming meets you all. I feel that we have met too late. If you don't mind, how about we go on a boat trip on Bi Bo Lake together later? I have taken the entire boat. We can recite poems and write couplets all night long. This will not waste the good time and beautiful scenery of filial piety."

Literati and scholars pay most attention to the pleasure of romance, and all the men and women present agreed, and Song Qiuchang is no exception.

Looking at Li Taiming's elegant and refined demeanor, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Wine and food had already been prepared on the boat, and there were some dancers in cool clothes singing and dancing.

Chu Weiyue and Song Qiuchang sat at a small table on the side, and Li Taiming deliberately sat with them.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, but Chu Weiyue was not interested in what they were talking about. She was completely attracted by the dancing dancers.

After looking for a while, I suddenly found a familiar figure on the other side of the river. It turned out to be Wenjing Pond.

Why was he wandering the streets alone so late at night?

There was a woman following Wen Jingchi, but he couldn't see her clearly because the distance was too far. After saying goodbye to Song Qiuchang, he immediately chased after her.

But after chasing for an entire street, I didn't find any trace of Wenjing Pond, so I had to return home disappointed.

Because of meeting Chu Lingfeng, he took her home in the name of late night. Chu Weiyue was not aware of what happened on the boat afterwards.

The next day, I slept until noon before getting up to have lunch.

This was a quiet day, nothing special happened.

Just after lunch on the third day, there was a knock on the door and Xiaoxue, the maid who was responsible for serving her, ran over in a panic.

"Miss, something bad has happened. A girl who claims to be Song Qiuchang's personal maid wants to see you. She says there is something urgent."

Chu Weiyue was startled and strode towards the living room.

The moment she saw Chu Weiyue appear, Song Qiuchang's maid Shuilu burst into tears.

"Shui Lu, what happened? Where's your young lady?"

Realizing that something serious had happened, Chu Weiyue asked with a grim expression.

Shulu glanced at the girl next to her, biting her lower lip tightly, not knowing how to start.

Chu Weiyue glanced at the girls next to her, and these people retreated tactfully.

After wiping away her tears, Shu Lu choked up and said, "This concerns my young lady's reputation, so I really couldn't speak just now. My young lady was invited by Li Taiming alone last night, and he didn't allow me to go with her. I thought she would be back soon, but who would have thought that she didn't come back all night. I got through the master and the mistress, and then went out to look for her, but I searched the entire capital, and I didn't know where the young lady had gone..."

She started crying again, grabbing Chu Weiyue's arm and shaking him gently.

"You and my young lady are close friends. Please save my young lady. What if she falls into the hands of thieves? What will happen then?"

Now a whole night has passed. Even if Song Qiuchang was not killed, her reputation would probably be affected.

"Li Taiming..."

Chu Weiyue frowned and thought about the name seriously.

A scent of flowers wafted into her nose and she shuddered all over. Her eyes revealed intense fear. How could she have ignored this!

The reason why Li Taiming seemed strange was that he had a smell that was extremely similar to that of the man in black.

If Li Taiming is the man in black, then Song Qiuchang may have been...

Without daring to think too much, he immediately took Shuulu to find the prince.

Although the storm has passed, Wen Chenxuan still patrols places where officials in the capital gather under this name because the flower-stealing thief has not been caught.

When I came to the next street, I saw the prince and his men talking at the intersection.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened. Song Qiuchang has been captured. Send someone to look for her as soon as possible. I think she is probably with a man named Li Taiming."

Chu Weiyue and Shuilu were so anxious that they were seeing stars, but the prince was not anxious at all. Instead, he looked at her calmly and sneered: "Chu Weiyue, what tricks are you playing? Are you asking me to go find someone, or have you set a trap?"

Thinking of the tricks Chu Weiyue played on him last time, anger surged in his heart.

"Since you have such a close relationship with my Ninth Prince, why don't you go find him? I think he will definitely not reject you..."

This made the guards beside him burst into laughter. He was clearly trying to humiliate him by bringing up something irrelevant.

Chu Weiyue clenched his fists and said disdainfully in his mind.

[Then I will go find Wen Jingchi now. If he catches the murderer, you will be a fool who helps others get married! ]
