New book is open: "Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Fourth Master's Beloved Consort", welcoming new and old friends to follow.
Before transmigration, Lin Mengyao was a leftover woman ...
The Fourth Prince was perhaps preoccupied with something, which is why he drank a bit too much. Su Peisheng helped the Fourth Prince step through the gate of Prince Yong's residence.
"How could she say that to Master!" Fourth Master leaned his entire weight on Su Peisheng, making Su Peisheng grimace.
"How can you be so blind? Hurry up and come help the Prince!" Su Peisheng said to the little servant who was huddled to the side of the door. Actually, it was no wonder that the servant guarding the door was like this. Su Peisheng usually did not allow anyone to "touch" the Fourth Prince, because he was the personal eunuch who served the Fourth Prince. Everyone else had to stand aside.
The young servant immediately shouted "Yes, sir!" and ran over, taking the Fourth Master's arm and, together with Su Peisheng, carrying the Fourth Master to the front yard.
After Su Peisheng and the gatekeeper eunuch put the Fourth Master down, he sent him away. The Fourth Master was usually quite well-behaved when drunk; he would basically just cover his head and sleep soundly, never acting crazy or talking nonsense.
"How could she talk to me like that!" Fourth Master lay on the bed, but began to talk nonsense.
Su Peisheng couldn't help but retort, "Your concubine is truly devoted to you, and you really have to divide your heart into many pieces. No matter how good your concubine is, she's still a woman!"
Normally, Su Peisheng wouldn't dare speak to the Fourth Master like this; he only dared to speak now because the Fourth Master was drunk. He was the servant who understood the Fourth Master best, and he was also quite close to Lanqin, so he knew best the reason for their conflict. But he was just a servant, and he really didn't dare tell the Fourth Master the truth!
"Master, Master is very sad! Very sad!" Fourth Master continued to ramble on, things he would never normally say. In front of all the women, he was still the same stern and unsmiling Fourth Master, whose emotions were never revealed.
Su Peisheng looked at the Fourth Prince and sighed, "Oh, my lord, why are you holding back like this! No matter how angry the concubine is, it's because she cares about you that she's angry. Besides, the concubine has already given birth to two daughters and two sons for you."
Fourth Master seemed to have heard Su Peisheng nagging beside him. Suddenly, he frowned, rolled over in bed with a "whoosh," and started vomiting.
This has never happened before! Su Peisheng panicked immediately and rushed forward to catch the Fourth Master's spit!
The scene was unimaginable!
Su Peisheng lifted his robe and became the Fourth Master's spittoon! The Fourth Master vomited all over him!
After the Fourth Prince finished vomiting, Su Peisheng left with a robe full of leftover food and cold scraps! He felt terrible. The eunuchs serving him saw Su Peisheng emerge with a dark expression, emanating an indescribable odor…
After cleaning himself up, Su Peisheng had to help Fourth Master wash up. It was a hot day; he needed a bath, otherwise he'd all go bad.
Su Peisheng thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea. So he beckoned to the eunuch and said, "Go to the South Courtyard now and tell him that the master is very drunk. Ask the concubine to come and check on him."
The servant acknowledged and hurriedly withdrew.
Looking at Fourth Master's expression, Su Peisheng's heart pounded wildly. He felt that he was risking Jie Yue's life to bring Fourth Master and Lan Qin back together!
Meanwhile, the young servant came to the south courtyard.
After hearing the report, Lanqin looked at the young servant with a somewhat blank expression and asked, "Is Master drunk? Did he vomit?"
The young servant was a little nervous, as this was the first time she had come to the South Courtyard to deliver a message. She said, "Yes, it was Eunuch Su who said he wanted you to go and see the master. He said the master keeps calling out the concubine's name."
Lanqin raised an eyebrow, pondered the little servant's words, and then said, "This concubine understands. You may go back."
The young servant was unsure whether Lanqin meant to go or not, so he hesitated to answer Su Peisheng's question and asked, "Reporting to Consort, this servant must go back and report."
Lanqin wanted to speak, but seeing the expectant looks in Sihua and Shuiling's eyes, they clearly wanted her to go. What a great opportunity! Taking care of the drunken Fourth Master—that would be a perfect way to reconcile! Su Peisheng really knows how to arrange things!
Lanqin scoffed inwardly, thinking to herself: Why should I run over to take care of him just because he's drunk and calls my name? Isn't this just a clear attempt to make me take the initiative to apologize and make up?
"Consort, the master is drunk and keeps calling out his name. You should go!" Si Hua said urgently.
"Yes, Master is drunk, and he keeps calling out the name of the concubine. Master, you should go." Shui Ling added. Now, both Si Hua and Shui Ling are Lan Qin's head maids.
When Lanqin saw that both maids had taken action, she knew that if she didn't go, the two maids would nag her all night.
"Lead the way! Let's go take a look," Lanqin said helplessly.
The young servant bowed happily to the two maids, and then Lanqin, supported by Sihua, followed.
The journey wasn't long. The Fourth Prince had initially arranged for Lanqin to stay in the South Courtyard because it wasn't far from his front yard. Along the way, Lanqin kept thinking: Should we reconcile like this? The so-called marital quarrels, arguments in bed, reconciliations at the foot of the bed? If we reconcile, will the Fourth Prince feel even more that he can't change his mind, and will he feel even more pity for that Wuya woman in the future?
It wasn't a very long distance, but Lanqin seemed to walk it rather slowly and for a longer time.
When they arrived at the front yard and entered the bedroom of the Fourth Master, which they were once very familiar with, Lanqin saw that very familiar figure again.
"Consort, you've finally arrived. This servant has already bathed the master. But the master keeps calling out the consort's name, and this servant didn't know what to do, so I had to send someone to fetch the consort." Su Peisheng saw Lanqin arrive as if he had seen a savior.
"I know, how did you get so drunk, Master?" Lanqin knew perfectly well that Su Peisheng had summoned her on his own initiative. She glanced at him and said, "Since you're drunk, just give him some hangover soup. Having me, your concubine, do nothing to help."
"Consort, the master keeps calling your name and won't go to sleep! He's never done this before. It seems something's on his mind." Su Peisheng was startled. Judging from the tone of the consort's words, she was still quite angry.
Lanqin glanced at Fourth Master and, sure enough, saw him muttering, "Why are you angry with me!"
Su Peisheng glanced at Lan Qin, then quietly signaled the others to leave. The others, naturally, obediently followed suit.
Lanqin silently gazed at Fourth Master on the bed; it had been almost a month since she had last seen him. Even with his eyes closed, he still possessed an unapproachable air about him. Perhaps because he hadn't been dining with Lanqin, his cheeks seemed a little thinner.
“Wuya Shi, she is special in my heart, you mustn’t be unable to tolerate her!” Fourth Master said suddenly with his eyes closed and his face full of pain.
