19 Drunk
◎Her limp body immediately fell on his chest◎
Wu Guanyi, who was next door, was leaning against the wall and eavesdropping. He quickly winked at Yan Qizhen, who looked disgusted, and signaled him to come over and listen.
"Why?" Liu Yu'er became more and more surprised.
After a moment of silence, Wei Ziyan's voice came out, calling the waiter and asking him to bring a pot of good wine.
"Why do you suddenly want to drink?" Liu Yuer asked.
"I need to drink something before I can say it."
Then there was no more talking. The two of them must be watching a show.
Yan Qi had just put his ear to the wall and didn't hear anything serious. He glanced at Wu Guanyi unhappily.
"This Miss Wei is drinking to give herself courage?" Wu Guanyi was also surprised and grinned in surprise.
"Is there something really unspeakable?"
Yan Qizhen's heart paused, and he couldn't help but think of the speculation that he was "suffering from a hidden illness".
Isn't it? Just like the play "A Lifetime of Mistakes".
Jia Sheng and Miss Meng fell in love at first sight during the Lantern Festival and secretly pledged their love. They agreed that when Jia Sheng returned from his imperial examination, he would marry Miss Meng in style.
However, fate played a trick on her. After Jia Sheng left, Miss Meng suddenly contracted an incurable disease. Not wanting to miss her lover, she left quietly on her own.
When Jia Sheng returned home, the house was deserted. A few years later, he learned from others that his beloved had died in a foreign land. He visited her grave to pay his respects and vowed never to marry...
"Hey, you don't have to be so angry, do you?" Wu Guanyi's voice pulled Yan Qizhen out of the script. It turned out that the peanuts in his hand had been crushed by him.
Yan Qizhen rubbed his hands nervously, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, but it tasted bland.
"Waiter, bring me a pot of wine!"
Wu Guanyi: “…”
Wei Ziyan rarely drank, and her alcohol tolerance was naturally low. After just a few drinks, her heart was pounding and her head was burning. Her chest was burning like a raging fire.
"Sister Liu, have you ever told a lie?"
"I..." Liu Yu'er was stunned by the question.
"I told you, many, many..." Wei Ziyan said with a bitter face, "One lie must be covered up by another bigger lie, one after another, endlessly..."
She no longer wanted to continue deceiving Liu Yuer with the lie of "their horoscopes clash".
She needed an outlet, a place to hold her secrets.
"Actually, there's someone I've always wanted to marry..." Wei Ziyan slowly told the secret she had kept for three years.
"To wait for him to come back, I lied to my parents and said I would marry Yan Qizheng... Because I knew Yan Qizheng didn't like me and he was against this marriage..."
"I swear to death that I will never break off the engagement, and I'm deliberately pestering Yan Qizheng so that my parents can't marry me off..."
"Zi Yan..." Liu Yu'er came back to her senses from the shock and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
"Sister Liu..."
Wei Ziyan grabbed her hand and cried, "Am I very bad?"
"I made Yan Qizheng think that I was deeply in love with him, and made him misunderstand that I risked my life to save him... I, I even bribed a Taoist priest and used a fake fortune stick to deceive him into thinking that our horoscopes were incompatible..."
"You——" Liu Yu'er's eyes turned black and she couldn't say anything.
"I've told so many lies. Will I be sent to hell with my tongue pulled out? Sister Liu, I'm so scared that in the future—"
Wei Ziyan was still talking to herself when suddenly there was a loud "bang" and the door of the private room was kicked open from outside.
"Well……"
Wei Ziyan was so frightened by the sudden noise that she burped. Then, when she saw Yan Qizhen coming at her aggressively, she was even more frightened and her body trembled.
"Sister Liu..."
She wanted to ask Liu Yuer if she was drunk and had hallucinations, otherwise how could she see Yan Qizhen?
Immediately afterwards, a roar like thunder suddenly woke her up.
"Wei Ziyan——"
Yan Qi was so furious that his hair stood on end, and his roar probably shook the entire teahouse.
Liu Yu'er quickly stood up and held the trembling Wei Ziyan in her arms. Wu Guanyi followed closely and also grabbed his furious friend, fearing that he would rush forward and attack.
Yan Qizhen had never been so angry before, he was almost mad to death!
"Wei Ziyan!" He roared again, pointing fiercely at the woman who was full of lies.
"You're so good! I'll do as you wish and call off this damn kiss!"
"Young Master Yan—" Liu Yu'er exclaimed.
Yan Qizheng ignored him and was about to step out when Wu Guanyi grabbed him tightly from behind: "Don't be impulsive, Miss Wei has fainted!"
Yan Qizhen paused and turned around according to Wu Guanyi's words.
Indeed, the hateful man fell softly into Liu Yuer's arms, as if he had fainted.
Haha, you still want to pretend to be faint and deceive him at this time!
Yan Qi turned back angrily, grabbed one of her wrists and pulled it hard.
He struck her hard, expecting her to jump in pain, but instead of pulling her away from Liu Yu'er, Wei Ziyan, without support, collapsed to the ground. He subconsciously lifted her up again, and her limp body immediately fell onto his chest.
Yan Qizhen's other hand reflexively circled her waist to hold her in place.
The two actions were completed in one go, and Yan Qizhen only realized what he had done after he finished. He became more and more furious, but he couldn't vent his anger on a woman who was really drunk.
He looked at Liu Yuer and pushed her over again.
Liu Yu'er quickly supported Wei Ziyan again and advised, "Master Yan, we can discuss this matter now. Can you please send Ziyan back first?"
"Yeah." Wu Guanyi agreed, "People are so drunk..."
Yan Qizheng glared at him: "Whoever wants to send it can do so!"
"No!" Wu Guanyi was in a dilemma. "How can I do that to a girl? Besides, it's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, so I can't do anything. After all, you are still my fiancé..."
Yan Qizhen's angry look made Wu Guanyi shut up.
Seeing his friend turn around and leave, Wu Guanyi scratched his head in embarrassment. Just as he was thinking about what to do, the person who had left in anger came back with big strides.
She is his nemesis!
Yan Qizheng thought bitterly of this and took Liu Yu'er from her arms, carrying her sideways...
The Wei Mansion's carriage was at the entrance to the teahouse. The driver was the same one he had seen with Xu Ji at the riverbank the previous time. He and Xu Ji were chatting at the entrance when they saw Master Yan come out carrying the young lady. He quickly led her to the carriage.
Yan Qizheng put Wei Ziyan into the carriage, turned around, took Wu Guanyi and went back into the teahouse, and asked the waiter to bring two more pots of wine.
"You just don't care?" Wu Guanyi asked.
"I have done my best to this extent!"
Too.
Thinking that Liu Yu'er was still there and that there would be a way to deal with her when he got to the Wei Mansion, Wu Guanyi stopped worrying and turned to care about his friend's mood.
Only at this moment did he think about it carefully, and all the things that he couldn't understand before now made sense.
Miss Wei really deceived everyone for the sake of her lover!
"Don't be sad..." Wu Guanyi tried to comfort his friend but was interrupted.
"Why should I be sad? I never wanted to marry her in the first place!"
"Yes, yes, you are just repaying a favor."
Report a ghost!
Yan Qi was just thinking back to how he had moved himself a moment ago, saying that even if she really had a hidden illness, he would never leave her. But what did he hear?
It’s fake to be deeply in love with him, and it’s also fake to love him to death!
She has someone else she loves in her heart, and for that person, she has been using him as a cover, lying and deceiving him all these years!
No wonder she said she didn't really want to save him. At the time, I thought it was just a tantrum, but now I think about it, I feel like a fool!
Deep love and loyalty?
The more you believed it before, the more ironic it is now!
"Although Miss Wei's actions were not righteous, she also had her own difficulties. Is this your reason for breaking off the engagement..." Wu Guanyi pondered, "You need to think of a proper excuse?"
Yan Qizheng suddenly became furious: "Why, you still want me to consider everything for her?"
"If this gets out, not only will it damage the reputation of both families, but Miss Wei might also be charged with deceiving the emperor."
As expected, a bystander sees more clearly. Wu Guanyi reminded the angry Yan Qizhen with just one word.
It would be fine to trick him, but to trick the emperor was a serious matter. The Wei family had been blessed by the emperor for many years, and everyone in and outside the court was jealous.
But isn't this all her own fault?
"Should I continue to follow her excuses?"
Wu Guanyi touched his chin and clicked his tongue: "It seems... the only reason that makes sense is 'the eight characters clash'..."
…
The next day, Wei Ziyan woke up slowly in bed, and the pain in her temples was still unbearable.
"Miss is finally awake. It's almost noon!" Qiu Luo came over to help her get dressed.
Looking at the familiar bed curtains, Wei Ziyan realized that she was drunk yesterday.
"How... did I get back?"
She only vaguely remembered one last impression: Yan Qizheng's back as he angrily announced he was going to cancel the engagement. He suddenly burst in, furious, and most likely heard her secret from outside the door.
This was a good thing, as it saved her from having to keep it in her heart. Since Yan Qizheng had broken off the engagement, there was no need for her to continue making up lies to deceive him.
As for her parents, they still need to find a good man for her in the future, and they will come up with another plan then.
In short, when the enemy comes, we will fight them with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
"Miss, you slept soundly yesterday, so of course you don't remember. It was Miss Liu who brought you back."
Wei Ziyan was still thinking about her own things while listening to Qiu Luo's reminder.
"I know that the young lady got drunk outside, and the master got angry yesterday. The young lady should be careful with what she says today, and don't make the master angry again."
Wei Ziyan replied "Okay", and smelled the smell of alcohol on her arm. Her eyebrows frowned and she said, "I didn't take a shower yesterday."
"I'm preparing hot water for the young lady."
Qiu Luo certainly knew that her young lady had to take a bath every day regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter.
By the time Wei Ziyan finished a bowl of hot porridge, the bathtub was ready. She washed off the alcohol, put on clean clothes, and stretched comfortably.
Qiuluo was still wiping her hair carefully when Chunlai came running in, shouting excitedly, "Miss, Miss, Master Yan is here!"
Wei Ziyan suddenly panicked. Her hair was uncombed and her makeup was messy. It was not appropriate for her to see him like this.
"Don't panic, Miss. Master Yan is not here. He is talking to the master and his wife in the front hall."
"Can't you explain yourself clearly at once?" Qiu Luo also misunderstood and rolled his eyes at her.
"Chun Lai is really too excited!" The little girl was still in high spirits. "Young Master Yan brought a lot of boxes and said he came to propose marriage to the master!"
"What did you say?"
"What did you say?"
Wei Ziyan and Qiu Luo said in unison.
"Young Master Yan is here to propose to the young lady!" Chunlai's eyes were filled with tears.
Her infatuated young lady finally waited for Master Yan to come and propose marriage!!!
