Shen Mingzhu stood up and said proudly: "Then just follow his orders."
She tapped Hou Shou with her chin, and Shi Gandang immediately said yes.
Soon, Hou Shou found out what happened to Shi Gandang and reported it to Shen Mingzhu.
Shi Gan was deemed to have been bribed by a man named Zhao Da, and was going to be detrimental to some people. Further actions have not come yet, and he only said that it will be a big move when the time comes.
Naturally, Shen Mingzhu didn't have the intention to guard directly. What the subordinates do is to do those trivial things.
Two days later, there was news from Liu Lingzhe. He found out something and wanted to meet Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu asked someone to make arrangements and received Liu Lingzhe in Cuizhuyuan.
Liu Lingzhe came in a hurry. Although it was a very cold day, he was sweating all over his forehead.
When they met, they bowed and there was no time to exchange greetings. He smiled and said: "Miss, I really made you guess. There is something wrong with Liu Lingfan."
Seeing his rosy face, Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Sit down and talk slowly."
She asked Biyun to serve him a bowl of the best Dahongpao.
Liu Lingzhe was not polite, drank a bowl of tea in one breath, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and took a breath and said: "I bribed several wives and servants of the Hou family, and sure enough I found out some things.
"
Shen Mingzhu listened very seriously and did not interrupt, but nodded slightly.
Liu Lingzhe continued, "Liu Lingfan is afraid that he has a hidden illness, or that he has the good fortune of Longyang."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Mingzhu said oh, but she wasn't too surprised.
Liu Lingzhe didn't expect the eldest lady to be so calm. When he knew the news, he was very excited.
The men of honorable families all have some tricks. In addition to wives and concubines, they also like to have handsome young men, but these are just for temporary needs or just for fun.
Should you really get married? It's just for your own needs, to use male lust for a while, instead of really being a good guy, or to fall in love with a man as if you were drugged.
But Liu Lingfan's performance made him feel that it was not that simple.
"When Liu Lingfan is free, he will go to the alley behind Lancui Building." Liu Lingzhe said excitedly.
Lancuilou is the largest and most popular brothel. Girls are used to entertain male customers in the front, and it is said that there are also courtesans in the back.
These Shen Mingzhu people are all over the capital, so they will naturally know about it.
"Moreover, I found that the largest part of Liu Lingfan's expenses was spent there. If he wasn't really a good man, how could he be like this?"
Shen Mingzhu said calmly: "Even if he is a good man, I'm afraid he can't let the Hou Mansion do anything to him based on this."
Liu Lingzhe said with a smile: "At least Liu Lingfan's marriage is going to fall through, young lady. Just imagine how many young ladies from famous families would marry such a man."
Shen Mingzhu shook his head, "Don't you understand these noble families? For the sake of profit, anything is fine. As long as Liu Lingfan is willing to turn around, he will be a good example. I am afraid that his marriage will be better in the future."
After hearing what she said, Liu Lingzhe suddenly lost his joy.
Seeing his decadent look, Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "You don't have to be discouraged. This is a good start. Find out as soon as possible the name of his lover, what he looks like, and where he comes from."
After a pause, she said: "It's better to let Hou Shou handle matters outside the Hou Mansion.
