Chapter 29: Four Girls' Drinking Party
"I saw you from the high tower, and you still dare to deny it?" Ling Buyi said with a stern face, "Besides, Shao Shang told me that her cloak is missing."
He Zhaojun tightened the cloak around her shoulders and smiled at Ling Buyi behind her: "Sister Shaoshang, your good son-in-law is calling for my death just for a cloak. How terrifying..."
Ling Buyi immediately put away his knife and turned around, but was still caught by Shao Shang who came over. Shao Shang immediately protected He Zhaojun behind him and glared at Ling Buyi: "What are you doing?"
"Shao Shang, listen to me, He Zhaojun has bad intentions..."
"Enough! I have already informed the elders of both sides. Today, Sister Zhaojun and I will go home together in a carriage. Don't stop us." After saying that, Shao Shang took He Zhaojun away without looking at Ling Buyi.
He Zhaojun passed Ling Buyi and left him with a complicated look without saying anything else.
Don’t mess with me, otherwise I will sue you again in front of Shao Shang.
The two women sat in the carriage. He Zhaojun noticed that Cheng Shaoshang was distracted. "Sister Shaoshang, are you worried about the fact that His Majesty summoned you and Ling Buyi today?"
Shao Shang nodded: "Sister Zhaojun, I don't know how to face Ling Buyi. There are many things in my heart that I don't know who to talk to... Tonight, can you talk with me?"
"My uncle and aunt must have a lot to ask you. Wouldn't it bother you if I went?"
Shao Shang quickly held He Zhaojun's hand and said, "Sister, please stop talking like that. I just don't want to listen to my parents nagging and asking endless questions. If you go, I can avoid being scolded."
He Zhaojun grasped Shao Shang's cool fingertips and readily agreed. The two of them dismounted the carriage hand in hand and headed straight for Shao Shang's bedroom. Wan Qiqi and Cheng Ling had already prepared wine and food, and the four women of similar age were very compatible.
"Sister Zhaojun, the He, Cheng, and Wan families are all military families. I've always wanted to get close to them, but unfortunately, I never had the chance. Only after drinking and chatting with you today did I realize how open and generous you are."
Wan Qiqi drank two cups of Qianlizui and completely opened up.
Even Cheng Ling, who was usually well-behaved and sensible, blushed at this moment and reached out to pat He Zhaojun on the shoulder: "Zhaojun, this book 'A Dream of Red Mansions' you mentioned is truly the most wonderful story I have ever heard. It is much better than those boring and long articles. Mr. Cao is truly a genius of all time."
Zhaojun also took a few sips, but she was not drunk at all. Looking at her sisters who were staggering around with their own thoughts, she just smiled, took a bottle of Qianlizui in her hand, pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the courtyard.
"Aunt Qing, I mixed water into the wine bottle. They didn't drink much. Please report this to your aunt and let her rest assured." He Zhaojun bowed slightly and saluted Qing Qing.
Qingqin is a close associate of Shaoshang's mother Xiao Yuanyi, and has been accompanying her since she was in the army. She came to visit, which must be because Xiao Yuanyi was worried about her.
Qing Qi returned the favor: "Young Master, you are so thorough in your work. It's really... a little surprising."
Everyone in the capital city knew that He Zhaojun was originally a spoiled and domineering person. In addition to the pampered nature of an ordinary little girl, she also had the tyranny unique to a family of military generals. Unexpectedly, after getting to know her, they found that the rumors were somewhat different.
He Zhaojun laughed out loud, "It's Zhaojun's fault. I was young and impulsive before, and I offended many people... I will definitely come to apologize formally someday. I hope Aunt Qing won't find me annoying."
"Please, young lady. I will take you to the bedroom. It's getting late, so go to bed early." Qing Qi glanced at the wine in He Zhaojun's hand and didn't say much.
He Zhaojun did not refuse. At this moment, she only felt her steps heavy and slightly dizzy. She knew that it was caused by the rupture of the wound today. She just wanted to treat the wound as quickly as possible without anyone noticing, so as not to let others notice.
