Chapter 263 - A Visit (1/2)

“Bring me back to your house, will you? Even if I will be without status, I’m satisfied just being by your side! I don’t want other people to look down on me. I don’t want that to happen any more…” The whimpering from the woman in red was faintly heard. Subsequently, the man’s soft sigh could also be heard.

Qin Shi spat in contempt and said softly, “A person like you wants to get married into his family? It won’t be strange if you caused chaos and complete mess! This gentleman looks upright, but who knew that he would be tempted by a brazen sl*t! I wonder how angry and sad his parents must be!”

Liu Ya suddenly said with a smile, “Their accents sound like they’re from Qingzhou too!”

All of a sudden, Sang Wan stopped and looked back. She seemed startled for a moment. Although she had only cast a glance at them, that man resembled Shi Fengju. Even his stature was similar when she had looked over at them.

Could this man be Shi Fengming, who had headed south? That woman had called him ‘Second Young Master’, and he had called her Qing’er? Sang Wan’s heart shook.

“Young Mistress, if you’re tired, let’s go back!” Qin Shi said when she saw Sang Wan stop in her tracks.

At that moment, Sang Wan didn’t have the mood to continue strolling. After she heard what Qin Shi said, she nodded her head and answered, “Head servant Qin, those two were too rude. Send two servants to follow them and see where they stay!”

Since she had met them, Sang Wan had to investigate clearly.

“Yes, Young Mistress!” Qin Shi agreed. Those two were simply repulsive. It was no wonder that her Young Mistress, who was gentle and amiable, had gotten angry.

When Sang Wan returned to the house, she called the head servant over and asked about Shi Fengju’s whereabouts as well as when he would return home.

In the past few days, Shi Fengju had been busy getting in touch and associating with people from the Chamber of Commerce. Since Sang Wan had never asked that before, the head servant was slightly astonished but also relieved. He understood that it was normal for his Young Mistress to feel worried. His young master was wealthy and handsome. During this time every year, the courtesans would gather in Hangzhou. Despite being only a short eight-day period, it was enough to make anyone feel worried. Therefore, it was natural for the Young Mistress to be worried.

The head servant replied honestly with a smile, “I’m not sure.”

It was better not to take part in anything regarding his masters!

Unexpectedly, Sang Wan did not intend to let him off and said, “Send someone to find out. Tell him that I have something urgent for him. If he is free, tell him to come back early today!”

Without a choice, the head servant agreed before carrying out what he was told.

Sang Wan had initially thought that Shi Fengju would return just before dinner. However, he came back not long after word was sent. He walked in with a smile and asked, “Sang Wan, you were looking for me?”

Upon seeing him come back so quickly, Sang Wan felt very apologetic. She quickly got up and welcomed him before replying with a smile, “It’s only a small matter that can be told later on. Did I delay you from any proper business?”

Shi Fengju shook his head with a smile and sat down. “Since you were looking for me, I got to skive for half a day!”

When Sang Wan saw that he was waiting for her to speak, she hesitated as she was afraid that her guess might be wrong.

“Um… Did your second younger brother head south? Do you think it’s possible that he’s in Hangzhou?”

Shi Fengju’s eyes lit up. “That’s possible! Second Brother loves liveliness, so he might have come here. However, he knows that I’ll definitely be here!” In other words, if he did not want to be found, he would probably avoid this place.

“Does the woman with him have a ‘Qing’ in her name?” Sang Wan asked again.

When Sang Wan asked that, Shi Fengju could not help but knit his brows slightly. “She’s called Su Qing’er. She isn’t a proper lady. Why did you bring her up, Sang Wan?”

At that moment, Sang Wan was certain. She then told him everything that had happened at the West Lake that day.

Shi Fengju’s expression turned cold. “That woman is so frivolous! How dare she pester you in broad daylight?”

Sang Wan felt warm that he was concerned about her and said softly, “Who could have expected this? At that time, Head Servant Qin dealt with her and I did not talk to her.”

Shi Fengju’s expression then eased. “Head Servant Qin is steadfast and capable. She did not neglect her job.”

“I’ve already asked someone to follow them secretly. However, I wouldn’t dare to be sure if he’s really the Second Young Master. ”

Shi Fengju muttered and responded with a smile, “We’ll talk about this when the servants return! We’ll know for sure when I go and pay a visit! If I can really bring Second Brother back with me this time, it would be a big matter.”
