Chapter 1102: The Truth Comes Out After Drinking
The wife of the Marquis of Anping looked at the eldest lady of the General's Mansion and said with a smile, "Your eldest daughter is becoming more and more outstanding. Not only is she graceful and well-mannered, but she is also a talented woman!"
When the eldest lady heard this, a hint of pride appeared in her eyes.
Then, he had an idea and thought of the Anping Marquis's mansion, where the second son had reached the age of marriage.
So, she said modestly: "Madam Hou, you are too kind. She is just a girl who can only read a few words. But the second daughter of your family is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality..."
My own daughter is going to be betrothed to the Third Prince, but the second daughter of the Marquis of Anping is of the same age as my son.
It would be very good if we could marry into the Anping Marquis's Mansion.
When Lady Anping heard the eldest lady praising her daughter, she was naturally overjoyed.
So, the two ladies, each with their own ideas, began to praise each other in business.
The other ladies from various families naturally gathered in groups of three or four, praising each other with a purpose.
Everyone understands the inner meaning, but it is just tacitly understood.
It has to be said that among the top noble ladies in the capital, Mrs. Su's rank is really too low.
If it weren't for the old concubine's attitude when Old Madam Su appeared, some noble ladies would probably have ignored Old Madam Su altogether.
Naturally, there were also some ladies who chose Su Laowu, the newly crowned top scholar, as their son-in-law.
However, after the old empress dowager praised Su Laowu so much, many smart people realized the intention of Prince Rong's Mansion.
Thus, the idea of getting married was abandoned.
There are some ladies who are interested in Tang Bao as their daughter-in-law.
But when he thought of the Second Prince's ostentatious move, his thoughts faded.
For a moment, the area around Old Lady Su seemed deserted.
Old Mrs. Su was quite calm. Being among a group of noble ladies, she simply gave up the idea of finding wives for her grandsons.
A marriage between people from different social backgrounds may result in a couple who are resentful of each other if things go wrong.
At this time, the ladies were keen on blind dates, while the girls were still competing with each other for beauty.
After all, they are all ladies from noble families who have been carefully educated since childhood, and most of them can compose a few lines of poetry.
A crabapple blossom floated in front of Xia Siya.
The line “Don’t ask about the sorrow of fallen petals, when will the spring rain stop” also attracted a lot of praise.
A girl picked up the wine cup and said softly, "I didn't know Miss Xia had such talent. It was I who was so blind. I offer a toast to Miss Xia. Let me drink it first."
Seeing this, Xia Siya picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
A maid immediately came forward and filled the wine cup in Xia Siya's hand.
Then, another girl picked up the wine cup and said with a smile: "What a good saying! Don't ask about the sorrow of falling red flowers. I also want to toast Miss Xia."
After saying this, he covered his lips with his sleeve and drank a glass of wine.
Xia Siya smiled faintly and drank it all again happily.
"Good! Miss Xia is obviously a straightforward person." Another girl said with a sweet smile, "With such a personality, it's surprising that she's worried about when the spring rain will stop. I'll toast Miss Xia too."
The maid came forward again and filled the wine cup in Xia Siya's hand.
Xia Siya still drank it all in one gulp.
The girl immediately winked at the girl next to her.
The girl nodded secretly and picked up the wine cup.
"I have to say, I'll also toast to Haitang..."
Seeing this, the people around looked over.
It is not difficult to tell that there is something going on when people toast like this.
Xia Siya, on the other hand, looked calm and accepted everyone who came.
She can't get drunk anyway.
Even if she drank all the alcohol here, she wouldn't get drunk.
Sister Fuya had already asked her to take hangover pills.
However, why are these people targeting me like this?
Xia Siya was a little confused.
I started thinking about how to retaliate.
Why not return the favor and get them all drunk...
Bai Shuqing was a little drunk, and when he saw someone targeting Xia Siya, he couldn't help but frown.
"What are you doing? She's my future sister-in-law. You're targeting her because of my third brother, right?"
As soon as Bai Shuqing finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet.
The girls' faces immediately turned red.
They were extremely embarrassed to have their thoughts exposed so openly.
Xia Siya suddenly realized, so that's how it is!
"Bai Shuqing, stop talking nonsense!" A girl was so angry that she was about to cry.
If these words get out, how can they face people?
Even marriage will certainly be affected.
"I'm telling the truth!" Bai Shuqing's head was dizzy, and she instinctively refuted, saying, "Don't think I don't remember. You all secretly threw handkerchiefs at my third brother!"
Several girls: "..."
Not only was his face flushed, but he also wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
For things like this, even if everyone knows the truth, they will tacitly pretend not to know.
Who would have thought that Bai Shuqing would take advantage of his drunkenness and blurt out.
Bai Shuqing had no idea that his few words had dealt a devastating blow to the girls, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Also, I know you all think that Xia Siya is not worthy of my third brother. To tell you the truth, my third brother really loves Xia Siya!"
"Look, you've seen it too. Xia Siya's poems are eloquent and better than any of yours. Your jealousy is in vain..."
"My third brother will definitely marry Xia Siya...definitely..."
When Bai Shuqing finished speaking, she didn't know whether she was speaking to others or to herself.
God knows, she was torn between her conscience and her desires when facing Tang Bao and Xia Siya today.
She wanted to tell them her guesses and the information Chunliu had heard.
But she also knew that it would definitely cause an uproar.
She knew in her heart that her third brother and Zou Shuqin must have an ulterior motive.
This matter is too serious, she dare not say it...
If I don’t tell her, I’ll feel sorry for Tang Bao and Xia Siya.
So, when she saw someone targeting Xia Siya, she got hot-headed and blurted out everything she could and couldn't say.
Following Bai Shuqing's words, the atmosphere fell into an extremely weird and awkward one.
The girls were so ashamed and angry that they wanted to die.
"Shut up!"
"You're talking nonsense..."
Bai Shuqing was dizzy, her face flushed red, and she didn't realize how big a bomb she had thrown.
Xuanyuan Hui quickly said, "Miss Bai must be drunk. She doesn't even know what to say."
After saying that, he glared at the girls who had just forced Bai Shuqing to drink.
Then, he continued, "It's all your fault. You got a drunk kid talking nonsense."
Upon hearing this, the girls immediately smiled and said, "Sister Hui is right. It's all our fault."
Tang Bao blinked, and a confused look appeared on her little face.
"Could this be... the truth spoken after drinking?"
The soft and sticky sound reached everyone's ears.
Everyone: “…”
The atmosphere, which had just been broken, became mysteriously awkward again.
Tang Bao: "...Did I say something wrong?"
The little girl looked innocent, with a puzzled look flickering in her big black and white eyes.
Everyone: “…”
