Chapter 210: Can’t buy it even with money?
Aunt Zhao's face flushed and her eyes were a little blurry, obviously she was drunk.
"Back then, the Marquis and I were just like an ordinary married couple. He loved to tell me about the affairs of the court, saying how Lord Zhang and Lord Li seemed to be getting along on the surface, but were secretly fighting each other to the death for a position."
"Also, Minister Wang appears to be honest and upright, but in reality, he has accepted many gifts from his subordinates..."
As she spoke, she waved her arms and spit flew everywhere.
Seeing this, Chunju quickly reminded in a low voice: "Auntie, you have drunk too much, don't say such nonsense."
Aunt Zhao slapped Chunju's hand away and said, "What are you afraid of? Who could hear it in this inn? Besides, this happened many years ago. It's no longer a secret in the court."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass again, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
Chu Ruohan looked at Aunt Zhao thoughtfully and asked softly, "Did the Marquis ever mention this Yuanlai Inn?"
Aunt Zhao burped and squinted her eyes as she recalled for a moment, "The inn... I think I mentioned it before, it's a great place to drink, hehe... Cheers..."
Aunt Zhao raised her glass and slammed it towards Chu Ruohan. The movement was so big that a lot of wine splashed out and landed on the table.
Chu Ruohan shook her head helplessly. She was obviously drunk.
"Yuling, go back!"
"Yes." Yuling responded quickly.
But when they looked at Aunt Zhao, they felt worried.
She was already drunk and lying on the table, still mumbling: "The Marquis... he is a heartless man, he has forgotten me a long time ago..."
Yuling and Chunju tried frantically to help her up, but they couldn't move her at all.
"It would be great if Ruyan were here. She's very strong." Yuling complained.
Chu Ruohan chuckled, "If Ruyan knew we went out for drinks without her, she'd be furious. Who knows what she'd do."
"Isn't it because she's injured and inconvenient?"
Chu Ruohan looked at Aunt Zhao who was drunk. If she had known that she had such a poor alcohol tolerance, she would not have let her drink so much.
With her size...ah...
Chu Ruohan stepped forward and pushed Aunt Zhao hard, trying to wake her up: "Aunt, wake up, we have to go!"
Aunt Zhao just hummed vaguely a few times, her body tilted and she almost slipped off the chair.
Chu Ruohan ordered, "Go call two servants to help help Aunt Zhao get into the carriage."
Yuling agreed and hurried to find the shopkeeper.
After a while, two burly guys followed Yuling in.
Seeing Aunt Zhao's figure, they were scratching their heads. One of them held up one of her arms and helped her up with difficulty.
Aunt Zhao's head drooped weakly, and she kept mumbling incoherent words.
Along the way, Aunt Zhao kept mumbling, sometimes scolding the Marquis for being heartless...
After a while, he started talking about interesting things in the past, and his voice was so loud that many tenants opened their doors and looked in.
Chu Ruohan was extremely embarrassed and could only walk forward quickly, urging the waiter to hurry up.
After finally getting Aunt Zhao onto the carriage, Chu Ruohan was exhausted and out of breath.
She secretly decided in her heart that she would never drink with Aunt Zhao again...
Chu Ruohan lifted the car curtain, looked up at the sign of Yuanlai Inn, her eyes stern.
"Yuling, notify Qin Fang when you get back and ask him to find out who owns the Yuanlai Inn and see if he can buy it."
Yuling was puzzled when she heard this, but she quickly agreed: "Yes, why did the young lady suddenly want to buy this inn?"
Chu Ruohan replied casually: "It's for the convenience of drinking in the future."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain.
"Ah! Still drinking..."
Aunt Zhao had fallen into a deep sleep. Chu Ruohan closed her eyes. An inn could allow officials from the court to meet secretly?
Either a few officials did it for convenience, or the boss behind the scenes did it on purpose...
But this time, Qin offered a high price, even several times higher than the market price, but still failed to make the acquisition.
Chu Ruohan had no choice but to give up for the time being as she didn't even get to see her boss.
Secretly let Qin Fang keep an eye on it and arrange for someone to go in...
The spring is bright and the sun is high in the sky.
Although Xuan Ge'er's first birthday party was not a grand affair, everyone who was supposed to come came, and it was very lively.
Song Ruyan sat in the corner, watching everyone surrounding Xuan Ge'er and laughing and congratulating him, but there was no smile on her face.
She glanced at the wheelchair she was sitting in, which was Gu Junze's.
Filled with disgust, he murmured quietly, "Young Madam is really making a fuss out of nothing. This little injury is nothing, yet you make me sit in this wheelchair, humph!"
She turned her wheelchair impatiently, and her eyes glanced at Dr. Qian beside her. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she reached out and pulled Dr. Qian over.
Doctor Qian staggered and almost fell. After he stood up, he looked embarrassed.
Song Ruyan asked bluntly, "Doctor Qian, please tell me the truth. When will my injury heal?"
Doctor Qian, you are deliberately avoiding her. If it weren't for Brother Xuan's first birthday party, he wouldn't have come back.
Suddenly, he saw Song Ruyan, his face flushed, his eyes subconsciously avoided her, and he stammered, "You...you should take good care of your injuries..."
When Song Ruyan heard this, she was immediately furious and couldn't help but curse in her heart, "quack doctor."
She became even more angry when she saw Dr. Qian's timid look. Is she a tigress?
Why are you hiding from her?
"You knew I should recuperate, but I haven't recovered after so long..."
Doctor Qian looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute. He could only stand aside, head down, and let Song Ruyan scold him.
When the people around heard the noise, they all cast curious glances, but because of Song Ruyan's temper and knowing that she meant no harm, they quickly looked away.
After venting her anger, Song Ruyan still felt unsatisfied. She glared at Doctor Qian fiercely and was about to stand up.
"Oh... No, the wound on your thigh is very deep, it just..." Seeing this, Doctor Qian didn't care about anything else and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
As soon as his hand touched Song Ruyan's arm, he retracted it as if he had been electrocuted, his face full of worry.
Song Ruyan refused to listen and struggled to free herself from Doctor Qian's hand. "Tsk... I've been through so many injuries since I was a child. What's a small injury like this?"
As she spoke, she supported herself on the wheelchair armrests with both hands and suddenly stood up. However, as soon as she stood up straight, she felt a piercing pain in her thigh.
She lost her balance and fell backwards.
Doctor Qian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly stepped forward and used his body to block Song Ruyan. Both of them fell heavily to the ground.
Doctor Qian groaned in pain, but still did not forget to protect Song Ruyan tightly, fearing that she would be injured again.
The people around were stunned by this sudden change and immediately gathered around.
Seeing the two people lying on the ground in a mess, Chu Ruohan frowned and quickly ordered the maid to help them up...
