After a while, tea and fruits were placed on the table. Although the color and taste were not that great, they were considered to be of medium to high quality.
"Your welcome, gentlemen," the young waiter greeted attentively.
Liang Yu looked around at the surrounding decorations and said: "The decoration here is very unique. The teahouses elsewhere are mainly simple and elegant. But yours has a unique Jiangnan charm."
The young man explained: "My guest is very discerning. Our shop moved here from the south with the proprietress. Our specialty is Jiangnan refreshments, so we decorated the shop in this style."
Liang Yu asked thoughtfully: "Jiangnan is a good place. I heard that it is very close to Huaichuan. The land of Huaichuan is safe and prosperous. I see the size of your teahouse, so I guess your landlady is not an ordinary person. What do you think?
He came all the way to the capital to seek wealth with a woman!"
Hearing Liang Yu's question, the young man felt aggrieved. Isn't their business in Huaichuan prosperous and their life smooth? I don't know what the landlady was thinking. She went all the way to the capital for one person. Now the business is
Not to mention being lonely, I also can’t see people all day long.
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but feel angry and muttered: "Why, isn't it just the old plot of searching for a lover over a thousand miles!"
Hearing this, Liang Yu glanced at Wan Su with some intent, and saw that she seemed not to have heard, looking straight out the window.
It wasn't until the boy exited that Liang Yu asked, "What are you looking at?"
Wan Su raised his chin and signaled: "Third uncle, look, you can just see the intersection of Wuyi Lane from here!"
Wuyi Lane is the alley where the British government palace is located, where most dignitaries live.
Because as soon as you exit the alley on the east side, you will see the city wall of the East City, so people living there mostly come in and out from the west alley.
Liang Yu stood up and looked out of the window, and saw that this was indeed the case.
Then he smiled and said: "The British government had just moved back to the capital, and the teahouse proprietress also followed her lover and moved to the capital from Jiangnan, which is very close to Huaichuan. What a coincidence!"
Wan Su picked up a cup of tea and tasted it. It was the famous Huaichuan tea 'Huaisang'. When the tea entered the throat, it had a refreshing fragrance, which gave it a different feeling of the misty and rainy Jiangnan.
"Third uncle, I remember you said before that you wanted to find out for me what happened to Qi En in Huaichuan. I wonder if you have any clues now?" Wan Su asked.
Liang Yu took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Wan Su, "Here are the things that the people I sent found. Take a look!"
Wan Su took it and unfolded it, and saw that it recorded the ins and outs of Qi En's marriage to Yun'an County Lord and Luo Yanran respectively. The contents were probably similar to what the old lady told her.
Almost all of Qin's two fiancées died a few days before their wedding.
"This Qi En is very charming! The two most famous ladies in Huaichuan actually made a royal engagement with him." Liang Yu said.
Wan Su said: "These grandmothers have asked me about it. Is there anything else?"
"That's all the things on the surface, but the things in private are more interesting." Liang Yu said with a devilish smile on his lips.
"I sent people to the homes of these two ladies and conducted a detailed investigation. I found that because Qi En likes to drink tea, in order to please their future husbands, these two daughters had invited local tea masters to come to the mansion for guidance before their marriage.
.And coincidentally, the two tea masters they invited disappeared inexplicably after their accidents. Because they both like to keep a low profile, their presence is not strong. In addition, the lady in the house died, and everyone in the family was filled with grief and anger.
.So no one paid any attention to their whereabouts.”
"Master of tea cooking?" Wan Su subconsciously looked around at the teahouse where he was, thinking about it with horror. "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the Mingyi County Master!"
Liang Yu asked: "Are you so sure?"
Wan Su nodded and said: "Although I have only met Mingyi County Master once, I can see that she is just a spoiled young lady, not a deep-minded person. And when Qi En said her name just now,
, almost said it without much thought. It was as if it had been prepared in advance."
"So what you're saying is that Qi En already knows who this person is, so he deliberately revealed the name of County Master Mingyi in order to cover up for that person," Liang Yu said.
"I think so! So, Third Uncle, are you prepared?" Wan Su asked.
"Don't worry! I have sent people to follow Qi En. I think there will be results soon." Liang Yu said.
Wan Su You raised his head and looked at the teahouse.
Liang Yu understood, "I'll leave someone here later!"
Lianxiang Pavilion, Shangshu Mansion.
Wan Su sat down to rest, and Ai Xiang, a gossip, ran over.
"Second Miss, you are back."
Seeing her like this, Wan Su confirmed: "It seems there is no news about Cousin Lin yet!"
Caixiang nodded, "Miss, did you and the third master find out anything?"
Wan Su shook his head, "Young Master doesn't know anything. I'm afraid Cousin Lin was deceived this time. By the way, what happened to other people in the house?"
Caixiang thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing special, but Fifth Yiniang also went out shortly after you and the Third Master left."
"Fifth Yiniang? What is she doing out there?" Wan Su was confused.
Ever since Wu Yiniang became pregnant, she has been very cautious and does not leave the house easily. Now that she has experienced the shock a few days ago, how could she leave the house so suddenly?
Caixiang said: "I heard from the mother-in-law of Mei Zhuyuan that Wu Yiniang has recently become obsessed with an almond cheese store in Dongshi. Because it has been snowing in the past few days, all the food she eats has been delivered to her yard.
It's so cold. Now that the weather has finally cleared up, Wu Yiniang wants to go out and eat something fresh from the oven."
‘Is it also the Dongshi?’ Wan Su muttered to himself, falling into deep thought again.
In the evening, Wan Su came to Qingsongyuan because he was worried about the old lady.
Sure enough, as soon as he came in, he saw the old lady sitting on the couch with a depressed look and sighing.
Wan Su stepped forward and said: "My third uncle and my father are already trying their best to find the whereabouts of my cousin. I believe there will be news soon. Grandma, don't worry, just take good care of yourself!"
The old lady rubbed her painful temples, "Back then, your aunt's family went south, leaving her an orphan in the capital. I thought she didn't have her biological mother by her side, so I was very arrogant towards her, but I didn't want to end up harming her.
.Now that she has left home privately, how will your aunt and I explain it to you if there is a conflict?"
When Wan Su saw that the old lady was not feeling well, he put his hands on the old lady's temples and kneaded her.
"Grandma, there is no need to blame yourself. You have taken good care of your cousin, which is seen by the whole family. What happened now is also due to my cousin's own willfulness. My aunt understands the righteousness and will never express her anger indiscriminately."
When the old lady heard Dao Wansu's comfort, she knew that she was caring about her.
But there was no news about Mrs. Lin Yuru, and she was always worried.
Suddenly the door curtain of the room was opened, and a panting maid ran in.
