Chapter 112 After getting drunk, Xie Yao reveals her true nature?
After drinking the strong liquor, Xie Yao's face remained calm.
Honeysuckle thought to herself, this couldn't be the calm before the storm.
She sat quietly a little further away from Xie Yao, and took out a piece of straw paper from her sleeve, rolled it into two balls, and stuffed them into her ears with inexplicably skillful movements.
Pu Wei was confused and asked, "What are you doing?"
Honeysuckle didn't answer, but gave her a look that said "You'll know soon."
In the army, the major general did not present herself as the second daughter of the Xie family. Instead, she took the surname of General Gu and used the pseudonym Gu Dao.
In order to live up to the reputation of being the general's only disciple, she mastered both civil and military strategies, treated her superiors with respect, and managed her subordinates well. She defeated all the generals in the border army and was deeply loved by all the soldiers.
There is one thing: except for her, a female military doctor, the rest of the people in the army are men.
Things were fine when the young general was training in the Healthy Women's Camp, but when she was thirteen or fourteen years old and started to fight with the general, apart from fighting, he was training soldiers, swords, and martial arts. If he wanted to tell her the truth, he couldn't find a girl to talk to.
Only when she took herself to the tavern run by Madam Yan during her rest days to listen to books and read storybooks could she relax for a short while.
Once, seeing that the young general was really old-fashioned, Lady Yan tricked him into drinking a jar of wine...
The Major General opened up his mouth, which had been sealed for over a decade...
Honeysuckle recalled the scene and couldn't bear to look at it.
Hearing Xie Yao's words, Jiang Congyan shook her head bitterly: "I'm afraid I'm already the laughing stock of the entire capital now. What's there to celebrate with a drink?"
"laughing stock?"
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, then suddenly raised a thumbs up and spoke seriously.
"The one I beat like a dog was Marquis Anping, the one hanging out with a married man in the temple was Xie Zhi, and the one who lost face was the Marquis's Mansion. They are the laughingstock, not you. You are this."
Jiang Congyan was stunned by what she said. She felt that Miss Xie Er was different after drinking.
She actually wanted to say something to Xie Yao, but they were not very familiar with each other.
Moreover, except when she beat people, the second young lady of the Xie family behaved gently and restrained at other times. She was a girl several years younger than her. Unlike her, she had been married for many years. There were many things she could not tell a little girl.
Jiang Congyan wiped away her tears, took a gulp of wine, and choked up, "If I drink it, I'll be able to forget it, right?"
Xie Yao consoled him earnestly, "No, drinking is to make you remember what happened today and not make the same mistake again."
Jiang Congyan was silent.
Pu Wei: "Miss, you are definitely trying to comfort the Marquis' wife."
Honeysuckle: “Not sure.”
Seeing Jiang Congyan crying even harder, Xie Yao quickly waved her thumbs up: "Miss Jiang, you are this! If you can leave Anping Hou, blessings are still to come!"
Her head felt a little dizzy and she tried hard to recall her past life.
Since the Queen Mother and the Emperor are already at loggerheads, Marquis Anping will certainly stand on the Queen Mother's side, and sooner or later Jiang Congyan will be implicated.
If Jiang Congyan could get a divorce after returning, she might be able to escape the disaster in the future.
Jiang Congyan's eyes were blurred with tears, and she thought to herself that she had finally discovered Miss Xie's shortcomings.
——She is not very good at comforting people.
"But, Li Yu and I... knew each other when we were young, and he was very good to me..." she whispered.
Xie Yao raised three fingers and shouted, "He's in Chengfo Temple, having an affair with Xie Zhi, three of them! That's not bad, Madam Hou, are you..."
She looked around again, her tone becoming more gentle: "Where's Eunuch Shuangxi? I asked him to go buy butterfly cakes, but he never came back. The Marquis's wife is so hungry."
Jiang Congyan was speechless, but her tears flowed even more violently.
She did not blame Xie Yao for speaking frankly, but just drank one glass after another, muttering:
"I thought I was used to cleaning up after him. When he crippled a maid, I went to find a doctor to heal her. And when he killed a servant, I went to beg the Queen Mother to make him kneel before them... I thought he would change... But he said I had changed."
Xie Yao paused holding the wine cup and looked at Jiang Congyan.
She once thought that Jiang Congyan was smart and knew how to deal with the times, but later she found out that this woman was just trying to maintain the dignity of a marquis's wife and pretend to be dignified and proud to get by.
In her previous life, when she was besieged by Xie Zhi and a group of noble ladies in the capital, it was Jiang Congyan who stepped forward to stop them.
Even though it was just a small favor on her part, Xie Yao was still willing to believe that her kindness towards him at that time was genuine.
There are only a few women in the world like me, who have learned martial arts, fought on the battlefield, lived happily and had a heart that was not bound by any limitations.
Most of them are like Jiang Congyan, like her mother, and like Han Sixue, who are trapped in the backyard, tamed by the rules of etiquette and morality, and waste their lives.
But even so, Li Yu, Xie Mingan, and Xie Chengyu are not worthy of them!
Perhaps God gave her a chance to be reborn, not only to let her take revenge on those who hurt her, but also to let her protect these innocent women.
"I……"
Xie Yao touched Jiang Congyan's hair, thinking of her mother Xu Susu, and said with a crescent eyelid: "I won't watch you get trapped."
Jiang Congyan raised her head, her eyes confused.
Xie Yao came to her senses and realized that the person in front of her was not her mother.
"Don't worry, life will definitely be better if you live alone in the future," she coughed and continued, "If you can divorce the Marquis of Anping, you will no longer be his wife, and you will not be bound by him."
The corners of Honeysuckle's mouth twitched.
The second young lady seemed to be comforting the Marquis's wife, but also seemed not to be.
Jiang Congyan didn't say anything else. She had already fallen drunkenly on the table, unconscious.
Seeing this, Xie Yao raised her head and drank a glass herself.
The alcohol was taking effect, and she turned around suddenly, looking at Honeysuckle and Cattail with sparkling eyes.
"Honeysuckle..."
Xie Yao's voice was gentle: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, have you and the White Guard beside King Jingbei known each other before?"
Honeysuckle heard it, but she pointed to her ears and pretended not to hear.
Xie Yao looked at Pu Wei again, her big eyes full of curiosity, her eyebrows and eyes lively and vivid, revealing the liveliness of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
"Sister Pu Wei, when you were in Zuixue Tower, did you meet any man you liked?"
Pu Wei: “…”
Yes, there is, but Lu Shenyan wasn’t... beaten to a pulp by Miss Xie Er.
What does it mean to bring up something that is not related to the topic?
Honeysuckle then pointed to the paper ball in her ear and answered Pu Wei's previous question: "Do you understand now?"
The second young lady was very naughty when she was young, but she had been in the army for nine years and had to suppress her nature.
So when the second young lady gets drunk, her true nature will be exposed!
At this time, King Jingbei's carriage stopped at the gate of Yunhe Tower.
Bai Zhu pushed King Jingbei in a wheelchair into the building.
"Your Majesty?!"
The shopkeeper of Yunhe Tower hurried out to greet him: "Why did you come in person?"
Xiao Yizi lowered his eyes, stroking the sachet in his hand, and said lightly: "I am here to take the princess home."
