Chapter 1796: Chapter 1734: Here to Look for Someone

Recently, Song Cheng has been feeling quite frustrated and angry, having been sent by his legitimate mother to find that wayward Song Jiaoer. The people here happen to be uncooperative, and if it weren’t for his father’s men, the information he obtained would likely be even more scattered. He truly wants to ask the good legitimate mother whether she really wants to find Song Jiaoer, otherwise, why does the accompanying Shopkeeper Lin keep opposing him?

Or perhaps, she is simply using the opportunity of looking for Song Jiaoer to remove obstacles for Song Wei?

Thinking of the recent assassination attempt, Song Cheng scoffed coldly, then picked up his wine glass and sipped the wine.

"Young Master Song," said an oily-faced young man sitting across from Song Cheng, leaning against a Flower Girl, pursing his lips: "Why is Young Master Song drinking alone? Could it be that none of the girls here are exciting enough?"

Upon hearing this, Song Cheng’s eyes quickly flashed with a trace of disgust. He looked up again and smiled slightly, saying: "Crown Prince Li is joking, the girls are all talented and versatile individuals, how could I dislike them?"

"Did you hear that? Aren’t you going to feed Young Master Song some wine?" Crown Prince Li chuckled wickedly, reaching out to squeeze the chest of the girl beside him, causing her to squeal and giggle.

Song Cheng saw this, and the deep-seated disgust in his eyes became even more apparent, yet he quickly concealed it, sneering inwardly at the injustice of heaven. Just like that ineffectual wastrel, Crown Prince Li was born to the Marquess family, the same as Song Wei, merely relying on a favorable birth.

As for himself...

Song Cheng accepted the wine handed over by the Flower Girl and drank it in one gulp, lamenting that he lacked just one background, not having been born into a prestigious family.

"Crown Prince Li, why is Elder Brother Tie delayed? Do you think I should send someone to fetch him?" Song Cheng asked, enduring the strong scent of rouge and face powder in the room that made his nose itch.

"Why the hurry? Elder Brother Tie said he’d come, he’ll surely be here." Crown Prince Li pinched the chin of the girl on him, laughing: "There are the prettiest girls here, why wouldn’t he come?"

Song Cheng’s mouth twisted slightly.

Just as their words fell, the door was pulled open, revealing a burly man with a large mole on his chin.

"Yo, Elder Brother Tie, keeping this prince waiting," Crown Prince Li waved his hand.

"Crown Prince," Tie Lao Er clasped his hands in greeting, saying: "It’s rare for the Crown Prince to remember us, but I was caught up in some business, hence my delay. No need for you to say, I’ll punish myself with three cups."

Tie Lao Er sat down, not requiring Crown Prince Li to prompt him, and immediately picked up the wine jug and cup, downing three cups of wine in succession.

"Haha, good, straightforward, I, Li Hong, admire men like Elder Brother Tie, straightforward, come ladies, pour wine!" Crown Prince Li sat up slightly, directing several girls.

The girls poured wine, handed handkerchiefs, while Tie Lao Er glanced at Song Cheng, realizing this person seemed unfamiliar, prompting him to take another look.

"My surname is Song, I come from across the river, I offer Elder Brother Tie a toast." Song Cheng raised his wine cup.

Tie Lao Er drank, raising an eyebrow: "Across the river? From Nanyue?"

Song Cheng nodded, casting a glance at Crown Prince Li.

Crown Prince Li then said: "He’s searching for someone, his family has a missing sister who came seeking my father, hence involving me. If Elder Brother Tie has any leads, offer your assistance. His sister is a noble and precious person, a household treasure, pampered like a prized gem, unable to endure hardship."

Tie Lao Er’s pupils slightly contracted and he lowered his gaze, only speaking after a long while: "Crown Prince praises too much, I, Tie Lao Er, am a rough person, merely capable of doing some heavy lifting, what do I know of leads?"
