At the capital.

Qi Yiyang and Liang Hengyu returned to the capital city.

Liang Hengyu rested for two days before he went to look for his second brother and told him what had happened in the capital city.

After Liang Hengshao heard it, his face revealed a complicated expression on his face.

“Yiyang is too embarrassing. Fortunately, Shi Qingluo promised her that she would not tell Xi Rui and the others.”

Otherwise, his cousin would definitely have to bear the reputation of a womanizer.

Liang Hengyu nodded. “It’s indeed embarrassing.”

After all, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

He added, “Second brother, get someone to investigate the Zheng family. Also, find out if Ge Chunru secretly investigated a few unmarried men.”

Liang Hengshao nodded. “I’ll get someone to investigate right now.”

The results of the investigation of the Zheng family and Ge Chunru would be ready on the same day, so Liang Hengyu did not leave.

Four hours later, the person who went to investigate returned.

“Your Highness, I found out that Zheng Tongfeng has indeed fallen in love with a woman from a brothel. He even ransomed her out and raised her outside.

“Zheng Tongfeng also promised that woman that he would definitely give her a status and let her give birth to an illegitimate son.

“Then, he will think of a way to help him become his legitimate son.”

When he went to investigate, he happened to overhear the conversation between Zheng Tongfeng and that woman.

Liang Hengshao’s expression did not look good. “What about Ge Chunru?”

The secret guard replied, “Ge Chunru did investigate a few people, and she also found out that Zheng Tongfeng kept the woman from the brothel outside.

“Among the few people, she deliberately chose the most unreliable and the worst character, Zheng Tongfeng.”

Liang Hengshao could not help but smash the teacup in his hand on the ground. “Is Xiao Yuanshi’s vicious wife helping me or harming me?”

He was trying to rope in Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, not to create tensions among them.

This Xiao Yuanshi’s wife actually pretended to rope in the two of them for him, but in private, she was scheming against Xiao Hanzheng’s sister to jump into the fire pit. Damn it!

Although Liang Hengyu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

Shi Qingluo was actually right.

He could not help but ask, “Has anyone been investigating Zheng Tongfeng and Ge Chunru recently?”

The secret guard shook his head. “No.”

Liang Hengyu was stunned again. “Could it really be that Shi Qingluo’s master told her in the dream?”

Was It really that mysterious?

Liang Hengshao was also stunned.

He felt that this explanation was not reliable, but at the same time, he had no choice but to believe it.

Otherwise, how would Shi Qingluo know all this?

He narrowed his eyes and instructed the secret guard, “Go and deliver the letter to Xiao Yuanshi. Tell him to meet me at the usual place in two hours.”

“Yes!” The secret guard nodded respectfully and left.

Liang Hengyu sighed. “Second brother, if Xiao Yuanshi is still infatuated with that little wife of his, I think it’s better not to work with him anymore.

“He’s an incompenet bungler.”

Moreover, he was a little traumatized by Shi Qingluo now.

“Shi Qingluo has a belly full of bad ideas. If we work together with Xiao Yuanshi and his wife that she hates, will she think of a way to deal with us?”

Liang Hengshao looked at his younger brother and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Do you have to go so far?

“You make it sound like Shi Qingluo is like a flood or a fierce beast.”

She was clearly an interesting and intelligent woman, not that scary.

Liang Hengyu thought to himself, his second brother actually didn’t believe him.

He immediately said, “I have to go that far. Take a look at my cousin and you’ll know it.”

Liang Hengshao smiled nonchalantly. “That’s because Yiyang underestimated his enemy. That’s why Shi Qingluo was able to use it against him.”

He reached out and patted his younger brother’s shoulder. “Don’t act like a frightened bird. It won’t go that far.”

Liang Hengyu uttered under his breath, it seemed that he had never suffered a great loss before.

His brother wouldn’t be able to get out of this trap.

Forget it, he didn’t care anymore.

When his brother was tricked by Shi Qingluo in the future, he believed that he would wake up on his own…

Two hours later, Liang Hengshao brought Liang Hengyu to the usual place.

Just as they reached the garden, they saw a woman dressed in a pink dress walking over.

The woman was surprised to see the two of them.

“Your Highness, fifth Prince!” She quickly bowed.

Her attitude was unlike those women in Liang Hengshao’s backyard.

When she saw the second prince, she was like a cat seeing a fish.

The second prince looked at Ge Chunyi. “Raise your head.”

Ge Chunying’s eyes, which were lowered, were filled with joy.

However, when she raised her head, she had already regained her calmness.

“Yes!” She raised her head indifferently, as if she was indifferent to the second prince.

However, the second prince could still see nervousness from her gestures and actions.

If Shi Qingluo had not appeared first and been indifferent towards him, he might have really been attracted by Ge Chunying’s coldness and indifference towards him.

But now, compared with Shi Qingluo, he realized that the coldness that Ge Chunying revealed was a disguise.

After all, Shi Qingluo wouldn’t be nervous at all in front of him, and she would even deliberately make sarcastic remarks.

Her expression wasn’t such a pretense of coldness, but a genuine lack of care, so she didn’t care.

And Ge Chunying obviously cared.

He instantly felt a little disgusted with Ge Chunying.

After all, he didn’t like women to scheme against him.

Moreover, Ge Chunying had an older sister like that, which made his impression even worse.

He snorted coldly in his heart, but displayed a gentle smile on his face. “It’s fine now. You can leave.”

After saying that, he brought Liang Hengshao out of the courtyard, leaving behind Ge Chunying watching his back view with a hint of infatuation and determination in her eyes.

After leaving the door, Liang Hengshao said, “Second Brother, you seem to be very cold to a side concubine like her!”

Liang Hengshao said disdainfully, “She’s just playing that she is hard to get.”

Liang Hengyu immediately reacted and sneered, “What a good scheme.”

He said again, “With a sister like this, I’m afraid she’s not a good one either.”

Liang Heng nodded. “If she wants to play, then I’ll play with her.”

Since she dared to scheme against him, then he would let her know how many thorns there were in the flowers in the backyard.

The two of them went to a restaurant that Liang Hengshao owned.

They entered a private room, where Xiao Yuanshi was already sitting inside and waiting for a while.

Liang Hengshao had deliberately made him wait.

Xiao Yuanshi immediately stood up and greeted the two, “Greetings, second prince and fifth prince!”

Liang Hengshao said indifferently, “General Xiao, please take a seat.”

Xiao Yuanshi noticed that the second prince’s expression did not look too good, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

He asked, “Second prince, you suddenly called me over. What’s the matter?”

Liang Hengshao took out the things that the secret guard had found and handed it over.

“General Xiao, take a look at this.”

Xiao Yuanshi took over to take a look, and his expression could not help but change.

This was something he had not expected.

He had heard from his wife that she had found a decent family for his daughter.

He was the legitimate son of the fourth-grade military affairs minister of the Zheng family.

At that time, he was quite satisfied.

His daughter, who had already cut off her kinship with him, could marry into the Zheng family.

She could be considered to be of high social status.

He had also thought that his wife had really done her best to find a good marriage for her daughter this time.

However, he had not expected that these matters were hidden inside.

After he finished reading, he said to the second prince helplessly, “I don’t know about these.”

The second prince could tell that he was not lying. “That’s why we were all deceived.

“This isn’t trying to rope them in. Your wife is trying to make Xiao Hanzheng and his wife hate us, right?

“Moreover, that act of saving the damsel in distress was too underhanded. Xiao Hanzheng’s younger sister saw through it at a glance.”

He mocked, “You really have a great wife. The moment she arrived, she wanted to push your daughter into the fire pit.

“Although you too are no longer related by blood, both of you are still father and daughter by blood.

“General Xiao, go back and think about it carefully.

“Let’s not stay in touch for the time being.”

After saying that, he did not wait for Xiao Yuanshi to explain or say anything else.

He left immediately with Liang Hengyu.
