Chapter 244 Can You Be More Obedient?
A flash of understanding flashed across Tu Subo's eyes. He suppressed his laughter, cleared his throat, and concluded decisively: "It seems that he is really drunk."
A drunk person will never admit that he is drunk.
…
However, Zhang Yuheng was puzzled. "Why are you drinking this kind of wine in broad daylight? Marquis Yongding, you used to be so aggressive towards me, why are you suddenly so polite today?"
Jiang Dinglian replied, "I am grateful for your careful care of my wife over the years."
"Hmph. After all these years of taking care of me, you only just now remember to express your gratitude? Jiang Dinglian, I'm afraid that something happened to the Dongling hostage in your house?" Zhang Yuheng narrowed his old eyes, his tone revealing suspicion.
"What can happen to protons?" Jiang Dinglian laughed, but a hint of depth flashed in his eyes.
It's just death.
"Let's go and have a drink." He put his hand on Zhang Yuheng's shoulder.
But Zhang Yuheng suddenly pushed him away, picked up his medicine box, and hurried towards the Yongding Marquis's residence, shouting as he walked: "Jiang Dinglian, if you dare to obstruct my official duties again, I will report you to the emperor!"
…
At the same time, in the Yongding Marquis Mansion.
Doctor Zhang went straight to the Tamei Courtyard where the Dongling hostage lived with ease.
However, at this time, there was thick smoke in the Tamei Courtyard.
The servants panicked and ran to put out the fire, but it was so out of control that even the beams began to break.
"Fire! Fire!"
Jiang Songyi was reclining on the bed, flipping through Mr. Zizhu's storybook. Suddenly, the maid Chunxi rushed in.
Although she heard the commotion in the mansion, she remained calm: "Where is the fire?"
Chunxi knew that the young lady sympathized with the hostage. "It's the Plum Blossom Courtyard where the Dongling hostage lives. Young lady, would you like to go take a look? I heard that the hostage is still in there, and no one has rescued him yet!"
"Go and have a look."
Jiang Songyi raised his eyebrows slightly and closed the book in his hand.
Ever since that day when she took Yue Qingyang, who was dressed as a woman and deliberately made himself ugly, to Rong'en Temple, she pushed Yue Qingyang off the cliff.
Yue Qingyang's body might have been devoured by the wild beasts in the mountains long ago.
The people in the Yongding Marquis's residence hadn't taken Yue Qingyang, the hostage, seriously. He had been missing for days, and no one in the residence had noticed. But now that the Emperor had sent the imperial physician to examine Yue Qingyang's pulse, even if Jiang Dinglian was slow-witted, he should have realized that Yue Qingyang was gone.
Therefore, no one dared to assert that the fire in Tamei Courtyard was caused by Jiang Dinglian!
Gu Yuexuan was indeed a little drowsy at this moment due to the impact of alcohol, and her thinking gradually became dull.
Tu Subo gently stroked her red earlobe, a playful smile on his lips, and asked softly, "Let's go home, okay?"
Gu Yuexuan pursed her lips tightly, with a hint of grievance in her eyes. After looking around and making sure that there was no one around, she couldn't help but want to indulge herself and take a short rest.
"I don't want to leave. I want to rest here for a while."
Tu Subo's eyes curved slightly, as charming as a crescent moon: "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate not to leave."
With the exception of the children, who were not supposed to drink, all the adults in the village chief's house were already intoxicated by alcohol. As the night deepened, it was indeed unwise to linger here.
Gu Yuexuan seemed dissatisfied with being rejected. She pursed her lips slightly and stood up steadily holding the corner of the table.
Tu Subo narrowed his eyes leisurely, admiring Gu Yuexuan's tenacious and independent steps.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Although her steps were steady and her direction was correct, her slightly erratic gait and overly firm, slightly glowing eyes were completely different from her usual self. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed a kind of honest drunken look.
Like a kitten that accidentally strayed into a wine jar.
Tu Subo gently put his fingers to his lips, trying hard to hold back his smile, then walked forward and gently held Gu Yuexuan's right hand.
"Xuanxuan."
Gu Yuexuan turned around in confusion, with a moist glint in her eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Aren't we going home? Don't you want to leave?"
Tu Subo gently rubbed her cheek, then put her hands on his shoulders, and with a little effort, he gently carried her on his back.
Gu Yuexuan leaned softly on his broad and thick back, still half asleep and half awake. Her head rested lightly on his shoulder and her voice was a little dull: "Tu Subo..."
Tu Subo responded: "Hmm? What can I do for you?"
Her voice came from his shoulder, deeper and more garbled, "Could you please not be so impatient?"
Tu Subo was stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing: "Why should I be in such a hurry?"
"Don't rush out and look for trouble!"
Gu Yuexuan seemed a little anxious. She gently twisted Tu Subo's ears, making them stand up straight, and then whispered in his ear, "Our family is in dire straits right now. What if you get hungry if you go out?"
"Don't worry, once we've earned enough money, we can go out and have a good meal."
She was too close, and the warm breath from her mouth and nose was like a warm current, flowing towards Tu Subo's ears from all directions.
This insignificant warm current was like countless tiny cow-hair needles, piercing the softest parts of Tu Subo's heart one by one. The pain spread from his heart to his limbs and bones, making it unbearable.
He confessed to Gu Yuexuan so that she wouldn't have to worry, but he still made her worry.
Tu Subo took a deep breath, the congestion in his throat making it difficult for him to speak. Gu Yuexuan didn't wait for his response, feeling anxious. She tried to climb up, wrapping her hands tightly around Tu Subo's neck, and leaning closer. Her drunken voice became even softer: "Can you be more obedient?"
"Don't worry, our family situation will improve soon."
"I work hard now, and by the time the autumn harvest comes, our family will have abundant wealth!"
Tu Subo swallowed hard.
Gu Yuexuan's eyes were filled with affection. She gently touched his tense face with her nose: "Be a little more good, okay?"
Tu Subo closed his eyes tightly, lowered his head to hide his red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll listen to you..."
"I'll listen to whatever you say..."
Late at night, Tu Su's house was quiet and profound.
In the warm moment of falling night, Tu Suting had already fallen asleep peacefully, and the respected old grandfather also walked into the quiet bedroom after tasting the refreshing soup.
The old lady had always disliked joining in the hustle and bustle of the village, and today she chose to enjoy her leisure at home. However, when the old grandfather returned drunkenly, she had to put aside her leisure and take care of him personally.
Today, she rarely played the role of a waiter, but at this moment her face was full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Seeing Tu Subo carrying the already sleeping Gu Yuexuan into the house, the old lady became even more furious. She slammed the silk handkerchief in her hand onto the table with a crisp sound.
"How shameful!"
"The village heroes were drinking and having fun, so why did a young woman like her get involved? A man getting drunk might be forgivable, but she was completely drunk. Does she even have a trace of womanly virtue in her eyes?!"
