People who practice martial arts love Shaodaozi the most. In the Qin family, even the girls drink it.
Among the people present, except for Xiang, who was in charge and drank less, even Wu drank too much. They were all taken away one by one, supported or carried away.
Xiang also had someone prepare some sobering soup for Qin Wan, and she stayed in the banquet hall to sober her up before letting her go.
Qin Wan drank too much and her steps were a little unsteady. With the help of Zhenzhen and Yijia, she barely managed to stand and staggered back to her yard.
Zhenzhen was still a little worried: "Miss, why don't you ask the maid to carry a sedan chair?"
"No, I want to walk back." Qin Wan was mostly sober, but her feet were still not very obedient. She squinted her eyes and looked at the road ahead. It was difficult to walk, but with her family by her side, she would not be afraid no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were!
"I'm not afraid! Hahaha!"
Qin Wan laughed heartily, looking up at the sky. Seeing someone ahead, she pulled out a bamboo stick from the roadside and swung it in a sword flower. "Where did you come from, you villain? How dare you trespass into the Marquis Xuanwu's mansion! Receive your death!"
Qin Wan staggered forward and stabbed, but she didn't expect the opponent to be quite skilled in martial arts. She tried several times but failed to touch the edge of the opponent's clothes. She became anxious and shouted, "Come! Catch the assassin!"
"Okay! Stop drinking and acting crazy!"
Qin Zhan, with his old arms and legs, quarreled with her for a long time. Seeing that she was getting more drunk, he took the bamboo stick from her hand and hit her on the back of her hand.
"pain!"
Qin Wan exclaimed, completely sober. She held her hands and blew on them, "Grandfather! It hurts so much! You don't even know how to be gentler."
Qin Zhan glanced at her and said, "Even if you're gentle, you won't be able to sober up! Come with me to the study."
Qin Wan pursed her lips and made a face, then reluctantly followed Qin Zhan's footsteps.
Zhenzhen and Yijia looked at each other and smiled. Their young lady looked so lively.
study.
Qin Zhan asked Qin Wan to close the door and asked Zhenzhen and the other person to guard the door.
Qin Wan was puzzled as to why he was so cautious: "Grandfather, what's going on? Why are you so secretive?"
Qin Zhan motioned her to sit down and asked, "What's going on between you and the prince?"
Qin Wan had bent down but hadn't yet sat down. Hearing this, she didn't dare sit down anymore. She stood obediently, feeling wronged and angry. "That Bai pushed me, causing me to almost fall down the stairs. The Crown Prince just happened to help me up, and that bastard Lu Yan said I had an affair with the Crown Prince. I think he just wants to divorce me and can't find an excuse! He's just making random accusations!"
"Then how come the Queen knows about this?" Qin Zhan asked again.
Qin Wan's eyes widened: "Grandfather, you know all this?"
Qin Zhan snorted, "How refreshing! The Queen is the successor to the Empress Dowager. How many good stepmothers have there been since ancient times? They can even poison the original wife's child to fight for the family property, not to mention that this is such a huge country."
"If the Queen wasn't the Crown Prince's aunt, he probably wouldn't have lived this long. Even so, the Crown Prince has been spoiled. He's been mischievous since childhood, and without much guidance back then, he's become increasingly unruly as he grows older, stirring up trouble everywhere. He's been impeached by the Censors since he was twelve or thirteen, and calls to depose the Crown Prince and appoint a new heir have never ceased."
"The prince is still unmarried at such an old age, and he doesn't even have a single personal servant around him. Besides his bad reputation, there may be other reasons."
Qin Wan listened to her grandfather's chatter and recalled what happened in the palace today. The Queen and the Prince seemed to be in harmony, but in fact they had clashed several times, both openly and covertly.
However, in his previous life, the prince did not seem as lazy as he is now.
Qin Wan frowned and thought carefully, and then she remembered the prince's steady hand when they were in Yipin Pavilion. It seemed that the strength was possessed by someone who had practiced martial arts for many years. She had never heard of the prince practicing martial arts in her two lifetimes, which showed that he had kept it a secret very well.
Qin Wan couldn't help but say, "Actually, the prince isn't that bad."
Qin Zhan glanced at her, but didn't want to discuss state affairs any further. He only reminded her carefully: "The Crown Prince's status is not something we can discuss. Our Qin family is now trying to protect itself. It's actually the right time for you to divorce and return home. Lu Yan has returned to the court with a great victory, and there are many people waiting to win him over."
"The princes will definitely try every possible means to win over this upstart. If money and power don't work, then they'll use women. If it weren't for this incident with the concubine, someone would have offered him a concubine long ago."
Qin Wan twitched her lips. "They really are going to any extreme. The princes are trying to win over their ministers, even using their wives... What do they think of us women? Just objects?"
"So it's good that you get a divorce." Qin Zhan sighed, but was also very relieved: "We will not get involved in the disputes over imperial power, remember this. Your third sister has already sent people to deal with the matter of Yipin Pavilion. There won't be widespread rumors outside, but those with connections will know. You should stay out of the house recently."
Qin Wan suddenly realized that the Qin family has always been open-minded. It is normal for her and Li to live in the house she brought as a dowry. Why did they bring her back home with such fanfare?
So this was the reason. She pondered for a moment and said, "It might be difficult to stay at home. The worst that can happen to my granddaughter is that she won't go to other places as a guest."
Qin Zhan was very pleased that she was sensible: "It's good that you know it. You're tired after a day, go back and rest, you don't have to get up early tomorrow."
"good."
Qin Wan was used to getting up early, so even if she was drunk, she only woke up half an hour later than usual the next day.
Zhenzhen rolled up the curtains at the right moment and said with a smile, "Miss, are you awake?"
"Yeah." Qin Wan still had a headache, so she simply gave up. "Go get me a book. I want to read for a while."
"Hey." Zhenzhen went to look for a book, and the little girls came in one after another to help Qin Wan wash her hands and face.
Qin Wan flipped through two pages of the book and felt sleepy again. She put the book aside and slept for half an hour before getting up lazily: "What's for breakfast today?"
Tao Yao went to the kitchen early in the morning and smiled when she heard this: "We have small steamed buns, fried cakes, small fried dough sticks, fried dough sticks with fried dough twist, pork buns with fried dough twist, tofu pudding, small wontons, and various kinds of porridge. What would you like to eat, young lady?"
Qin Wan thought for a moment and said, "Let's have some fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, and a braised pork bun. I won't need anything else."
At home, Qin Wan didn't want to have a complicated hairstyle, so she just tied her hair up in a loose, homely style, changed into some loose, casual clothes, and lazily lay on Luohan's bed waiting for breakfast.
Qin Wan faintly heard the sound of people talking and laughing outside. She listened carefully and asked, "Who's outside?"
The little girl came in and replied, "There are guests at home. They heard that the young lady got divorced and wanted to see her, but the lady stopped them."
Qin Wan asked the little girl to go down and winked at Zhen Zhen: "It's really not peaceful. Let's go save mother after dinner."
Of course, she couldn't look so lazy when meeting guests. She didn't need to change her hairstyle, but changed into something slightly more decent. Qin Wan led her people to Jingpingju, and halfway through, she saw the servant running in hurriedly.
Qin Wan frowned and stopped the man. "Why are you so flustered? We have guests today. Why didn't you ask the maid at the second gate to tell you to come?"
The servant felt relieved when he saw Qin Wan. He took a breath and said, "Miss, big news! The old lady of the Lu family is here to visit!"
