Meng Jifang immediately chased after them. He did not want to see the girls dance at all.
The brothers at the back stood rooted to the ground.
“Why aren’t you moving?” Meng Jifang frowned. He was quite arrogant.
“Young Master Meng, we… wouldn’t dare to offend His Highness…” They were really scared.
The Crown Prince was a high and mighty person. How could the sons of minor officials like them dare to approach him? Moreover, everyone knew that the Crown Prince loved to investigate cases. If the family of whoever he had his eyes on was found out to be guilty, it would be truly tragic!
Earlier, the family of the Prince Consort Zhou and the Fourth Prince’s camp had just communicated with each other. They did not know how it had spread, but in the blink of an eye, the entire family had been wiped out!
There was also the eldest illegitimate son of Prince Ning Bei, Zhao Xuzhi. It was said that he had offended the Crown Prince, so his arm was gone and he had to stay in the prison!
Oh, Young Master Meng had also offended the Crown Prince in the past. In the end, he was punished by the Crown Prince by running with the horse until his legs almost fell off…
They did not want to follow in his footsteps!
“Cowards!” Meng Jifang spat. “I’ll go myself! I don’t need you!”
Meng Jifang was really curious.
He abandoned his brothers behind him and immediately followed.
“Your Highness, Young Master Meng is following us.” Zhou Weizong immediately noticed.
“I’m worried for the Meng family for raising such a loser.” Zhao Xuanjing was not angry. He even thought it was funny.
The Meng family had always been very careful in supporting his fourth brother and instigating Imperial Concubine Meng. However, Meng Jifang, the grandson, was even more terrible than a hooligan. He was completely fearless of anything. Who knew how many times he had seeked death.
“Your Highness!” Meng Jifang was no scoundrel. He ran up to the Crown Prince and bowed. “You’re here to investigate a case, aren’t you?”
The brothel was not far from the restaurant.
“Why didn’t you bring more people with you when you were investigating a case? If you sneaked over like this, people who don’t know would think that you’re here to have fun. If Young Lady Xie heard the rumor, how sad would she be?” Meng Jifang muttered again.
Young Lady Xie…
Meng Jifang thought she was a nice lady.
He had dealt with her several times in the academy. It was the first time that he met such an interesting person in his life.
She was sickly but had guts. She was not afraid of him. She won every bet she made with others.
She was very powerful.
If not for the fact that such a sickly girl would definitely suffer if she married into the Meng family, he would have sent someone to the Xie family to propose marriage.
Zhao Xuanjing stood still and glanced at him. “Think with your brain before you speak.”
Meng Jifang was stunned.
What did he say? He was quite humble in order to find out the truth, no?
“Your Highness, you have only seen Xie Qiao a few times, so you might not know this. That little girl is as delicate as a flower. Everyone says that she has a short life. I’m indeed worried that she will think too much of it,” Meng Jifang said directly.
After saying that, he felt that the Crown Prince’s bearing became even colder.
Suddenly, he reacted, “I was just saying casually. Your Highness, you can’t take it seriously, right? I am not familiar with Young Lady Xie…”
Sure enough, after saying that and admitting defeat, the Crown Prince looked at him with contempt and walked over. “Don’t think too much about my person. If you think too much about her, I am afraid that your fortune will be drained.”
Meng Jifang was angry.
However, he knew that he could not trigger this tough man casually, so he endured it with all his might.
He was already cursing and swearing in his heart.
He shamelessly followed, but after a few steps, he was blocked by Zhou Weizong. Seeing the Crown Prince enter the restaurant, he looked around hard. He even ran to the second floor across the restaurant and looked toward the window…
He actually saw the Crown Prince with a female Taoist master.
Could she be… the Witch Mo that his father said?
