The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 128: The Dinner Banquet of the Qian Mansion [Part 1]

After leaving the alley that day, Sun Shaozong waited for four or five days in a row but still did not hear a word from Ding Xiu.

On the fifth day of September, when he was working in the government office, Qian Ning, the Northern Town Detective Department Secretary, suddenly sent an invitation.

The invitation said that his concubine Chen [He Family's Young Madam] had brewed good wine and wanted to invite Sun Shaozong to have a taste. It was also on behalf of the Northern Town Detective Department to thank him for his ”help in investigating cases” these days.

This was definitely putting on a show of force!

But…

This was also a good opportunity. Sun Shaozong has been suspicious of Qian Ning for so long, but he has never seen the true face of Lord Qian.

There was a saying that ”knowing oneself and the enemy will prevent us from getting defeated in a hundred wars.” Anyway, being idle was also idle. Thus, he plans to just go to see and experience. This was the ”elegant demeanor” of Lord Qian.

With this in mind, Sun Shaozong left the Yamen ahead of schedule in the afternoon, went home to change into civilian clothes, asked Zhang to prepare the carriage, and went straight to Qian Ning's Residence.

After arriving at Qian Ning's mansion, Sun Shaozong became more and more sure that this guy wanted to show off or provoke him. It was because, until he followed the chamberlain of Qian's Mansion to the flower hall in the backyard, he didn't see Qian Ning coming out!

"Master."

The old housekeeper, who was over half a hundred years old, bowed outside the flower hall and said, "Lord Sun is here."

"Yo! He really came! Haha..."

A burst of unbridled laughter came out of the flower hall. "Then please invite Lord Sun in!"

This was not the truth of hospitality!

The old housekeeper looked back at Sun Shaozong awkwardly. He was about to say something, but Sun Shaozong walked in.

Entering the flower hall, he saw dozens of palace lanterns, which were as bright as day. In front of the central round table, a couple of dogs and men were entwined.

Although the man was more powerful, there was nothing strange about him.

It was the woman who wore a colorful palace dress, half draped and half open. Her white jade-like shoulder was shining like porcelain under the candlelight. The goose-yellow bra propped up two plump balls, and then rose and fell with exaggerated breathing as if she could not bear the weight.

Looking down, the woman's feet were not even wearing inch strands. Her snowdrop-like feet were coiled on the man's knees, and those toes were smeared with purple cardamom. They were playfully hooked up. There were still some wet traces on them, but he didn't know whether it was wine, soup, or the man's saliva.

This man and woman were Qian Ning and Concubine Chen [He Family Young Madam]!

No wonder that old housekeeper didn't dare to come in and report.

Seeing Sun Shaozong came in through the door, Qian Ning still only cared about making fun of Chen without even looking at Sun Shaozong. It was clear that he wanted to give him a heads-up.

Sun Shaozong was not upset. He leaned forward a little and stared at Chen from a high position, looking up and down, not far from her chest, abdomen, hips, and legs.

Now Qian Ning was a little nervous. He put on a strict face, and complained first, "Lord Sun, I have kindly invited you to dinner, but why are you so rude?"

"Rude? How am I being rude?"

Sun Shaozong pretended to be surprised and said, "I thought you were going to play a wild game to show me."

"You..."

Qian Ning stood up straight, looked at Sun Shaozong for a while, but suddenly laughed again, "Lord Sun is famous in the Capital, and is really not comparable to ordinary people!"

He then stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, let's sit down and talk!"

Since he didn't behave himself first, Sun Shaozong naturally wouldn't be polite to him. He sat down opposite him without saying a word.

Chen was barefooted. She curled up to the front, took a glass full of wine, and sent it to Sun Shaozong's mouth with both hands. "You are late," she said, "and you make fun of me. You should punish yourself with a glass of wine."

Those eyes were like bright autumn water, and they were even more flattering, and they seemed like bone-corroding poison. The person who looked straight at her would be soft, but there was only one hard spot.

Tch!

No wonder Jia Lian and Qian Ning were fascinated by her!

Sun Shaozong didn't want to be hypocritical. He just lowered his head and drank all the wine in the glass. He then said to the point, "Lord Qian, I don't know what you want from me today, but you didn’t really want to invite me to taste the wine."

Qian Ning wanted to speak, but Chen smiled again. "I'm afraid you have misunderstood us. In fact, it's not My Master but me who invited you to be our guest."

"You?"

"Yes, it’s me."

Chen stretched out a hand on Sun Shaozong's shoulder but leaned back slightly, facing Sun Shaozong with a pair of proud, plump faces.

Seeing this scene, Qian Ning on the other side was unhappy. Obviously, this was not arranged by him. Of course, this guy might also be acting.

Chen then gently opened her lips and continued, "Speaking of it, this is the second time I have met you, but I don't know what happened last time. Do you still remember?"

Heavy rain, headless bodies, dragon guards, gorgeous women…

If he could forget all this, then that would be weird!

Sun Shaozong nodded, then Chen asked again, "Someone said that I am a woman who makes people think of bed at first sight. What do you think?"

Between these two questions…

Was there any connection?

Sun Shaozong only frowned and was waiting to be questioned, but suddenly his leg was heavy. It was Chen who cocked up her jade foot and frivolously put it on his leg!

The white marble-like soles of the feet were slightly stained with some dust, which seemed like a pearl covered with dust. People could not help but want to reach out and hold it to sweep all the dust away.

"Rushuang! What are you doing?!"

Qian Ning suddenly slammed the table. The shaking cups and plates were a mess. Seeing that he was full of jealousy, he didn't seem to be acting.

"Hahaha..."

Chen Rushuang smiled casually, and then continued, "Some people just think about it, but others really do it, and the first one is my elder brother!"

With this, the flower hall seemed to be quiet for a while.

Both men looked at Chen Rushuang and listened to her continue to say, "I was only twelve years old that year. At first, I was afraid and angry naturally but as soon as I tasted the sweetness of it…"

Speaking of this, Chen Rushuang smiled charmingly. "It's not the kind of sweetness you think!"

"Since then, my brother has been obedient to me. No matter what requirements I have, he tried his best to meet me. That is why I have the opportunity to go out and see the outside world."

"At that time, I often dressed up as a man, went hunting in the countryside with my brother, went fishing by the river, went to the poetry club to talk with those talented people, and even went to the brothel whorehouse to meet those best quality women!"

"That's why I got to know Zhang Lang."

Speaking of this, she smiled at Sun Shaozong charmingly and said, "It was the man who was killed by Jin Yichuan in front of you that day."
