Chapter 104 Ruan Ruan is my beloved wife
Inside the private room, their game had already begun; it was all wordplay.
After the game, Xie Shang was completely drunk, because he drank more than a dozen bowls of wine, all of which were for Su Tingwan. Su Tingwan also drank quite a bit, and she couldn't even utter a word when she was beaten.
Tonight she finally realized that she was just a clown being played by them, and all she could do was sit obediently to the side, unable to interfere with Xie Shang's emotions.
Every time she lost, he would keep drinking, and he seemed quite happy. Xie Shang cared about himself.
Actually, when they were playing games, Xie Shang was paired with Su Tingwan. She was happy, but no matter how hard Xie Shang tried to lead her, he couldn't win. He just kept drinking. He felt that Su Tingwan should study more, because she made him look so bad.
Sang Yupianpian and Jiang Fenghua were in the same group. With the talented Jiang Fenghua around, they naturally didn't drink a drop of wine. Sang Yupianpian was even happier and kept cheering for Jiang Fenghua. She was dumbfounded, never expecting that the Princess Consort of Heng was so knowledgeable.
Zhang Yumo and Jiang Jinyan were paired together. With Jiang Jinyan, a man of both literary and martial talents, she was naturally not forced to drink. In addition, Zhang Yumo was one of the most talented women in Shengjing City. She was no match for this kind of word game and wanted to make a good impression on Jiang Jinyan.
Ji Chen became a lonely figure, guarding the region alone. He drank quite a bit, and he never expected that the Princess Consort of Heng would be so knowledgeable... How could Wanwan compete with her, after all, it was the position of Princess Consort of Heng.
Xie Shang originally wanted to be in a group with Jiang Fenghua, but he was unlucky and was drawn to be in a group with Su Tingwan, someone he didn't know well.
"Consort Su is quite the drinker; she's drunk so much and hasn't passed out. On the other hand, His Highness Prince Heng has been implicated because of you," Sang Yu said with a smile. "How about we have another contest? This time I'll give you three rounds, and you can ask the first question."
Su Tingwan supported Xie Shang's arm and said gently, "Let's not compete anymore. The prince is drunk, and we should go back to the palace." It's like heaven is on my side. Jiang Fenghua must be very disappointed today. What's the point of winning the competition? Didn't you see that the prince had a cold face towards her all night?
In such a childish game, if his helpers hadn't been so incompetent, would Xie Shang have lost so badly? Jiang Fenghua scoffed, completely unconcerned. Besides, she hadn't yet accomplished her important business. Since Xie Shang had been drinking, she might as well be generous. "Consort Su, please help the Prince back to his residence. My elder brother can take me back later." She didn't want Xie Shang to vomit all over her on the way.
Su Tingwan was taken aback that Jiang Fenghua would give her a chance to be alone with Xie Shang, especially while Xie Shang was drunk. She quickly seized the opportunity; tonight she could…
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the drunk Xie Shang suddenly broke free from Su Tingwan and pulled Jiang Fenghua into his arms, saying, "This king wants to be with Ruan Ruan... ugh..."
The next second, Jiang Fenghua was completely dumbfounded, her eyes blazing with anger, "Xie Shang..."
Xie Shang vomited all over Jiang Fenghua again, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Seeing him so drunk, Su Tingwan tried to pull him up, but Xie Shang pushed her and she stumbled. Ji Chen caught her just in time. "Third sister, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Her heart was bleeding; she hadn't expected that Xie Shang, even when drunk, only had eyes for Jiang Fenghua.
Unexpectedly, Xie Shang clung tightly to Jiang Fenghua, saying, "Ruan Ruan, hug me. Ruan Ruan is my beloved wife."
Xie Shang becomes disoriented when drunk, completely forgetting what happened beforehand, exhibiting selective amnesia. However, he does remember Jiang Fenghua when he is drunk.
She just wanted to push him away. She should have let him have his way, so he wouldn't have gotten so drunk and she wouldn't have suffered. Now it was too late to say anything. Her silk velvet embroidered dress, a new style given to her by her second sister, had been ruined by Xie Shang.
She roared inwardly that she would never let Xie Shang drink again. Today, she wasn't focused on Xie Shang at all, only letting Su Tingwan flatter and fawn over him while she watched coldly. Yet he drank so much and caused all this trouble.
She called out again, "Lianye, Lin Feng, come in..."
They called for a long time but no one came.
At this moment, Sang Yu said gracefully, "I didn't expect Prince Heng to have such a low alcohol tolerance. We'll help you get the prince into the carriage. Fenghua, your clothes..."
Jiang Fenghua glanced at the private room. Fortunately, this was Xiangya Garden. She said, "Your Highness, let's rest on the soft couch for a while."
"Ah, are you going with Ruan Ruan?" Xie Shang leaned on her.
"Yes, with Ruan Ruan." Jiang Fenghua looked embarrassed and deliberately said to Sang Yu Pianpian, "Pianpian, come and help me." She wanted to get rid of Sang Yu Pianpian, but she didn't know how. The two grown men were standing on the side, but they couldn't help at all.
Jiang Jinyan wouldn't want to put his sister in a difficult position, so he helped Xie Shang to rest on the soft couch. However, he desperately held onto Jiang Fenghua's wrist, calling out, "Ruan Ruan."
Finally, with Jiang Jinyan's help, Jiang Fenghua moved Xie Shang, who was clinging to her, to the bed. They were husband and wife, so there was no need to hide anything. However, others could not get close, since he was a prince and his behavior was inappropriate. It was best to avoid him if possible.
Before leaving, Jiang Jinyan said, "I'll have someone send you some clothes."
Jiang Fenghua had no choice but to agree. Just as he was about to leave, she suddenly said, "Big brother, Zhang Yumo actually wants to talk to you about something."
Jiang Jinyan wasn't stupid; he naturally knew his family was arranging a marriage for him, and his father had even set him up on a blind date with Zhang Yumo, but...
Seeing that there was no one else in the inner hall, Jiang Fenghua said, "If you don't like her, brother, you should talk to her about it so as not to keep her waiting."
"I know," Jiang Jinyan smiled. "Ruan Ruan, please take good care of the Prince. Don't worry about anything else."
"Does Big Brother like Princess Pianpian?" she asked.
Jiang Jinyan was stunned. "She likes the peerless young master who can dance. Sister, you've misunderstood."
After saying that, he went out the door.
Jiang Fenghua was stunned for a moment, staring at Xie Shang, who was drunk as a dead pig, and she was speechless.
"Ruan Ruan..." Xie Shang called her again, murmuring, "She looks like you, our daughter."
Upon hearing the word "daughter," Jiang Fenghua felt not only disgust but also guilt. Unconsciously, she touched her stomach and asked, "Have you arrived?"
-
Seeing Zhang Yumo waiting outside, Jiang Jinyan asked, "Why are you the only one here?"
Zhang Yumo said, "Su Tingwan left the private room in anger, and Young Master Ji chased after her. Princess Sang... it seems she went to watch the commotion."
Jiang Jinyan was stunned. She had said she would put on a good show, but nothing had started yet, except for Su Tingwan coming in with Ji Chen just now, when she went from being smug to looking pale, while Sang Yupian kept laughing.
"Young Master Jiang." Zhang Yumo gripped her handkerchief, her throat trembling with nervousness.
Jiang Jinyan knew what she was going to say. He had always avoided his parents' suggestion, and he thought that was the end of it. He didn't expect Zhang Yumo to come with her sister.
He took the initiative and said, "I actually don't want to get married. I'm so sorry, Miss Zhang."
