"Yanqing, are you married?" Jiang Fan asked in surprise.
Wu Yanqing was almost sober. The servant's words struck him like lightning. When he heard Jiang Fan's voice, he suddenly came to his senses and quickly looked at Jiang Ranli.
"Didn't you leave Beijing to check on the business, but to go back to Guangzhou to get married? Why didn't you tell us? We didn't even prepare a gift." Jiang Ranli was very anxious. She and Wu Yanqing had known each other for many years and were considered very good friends, but she didn't even know about such a big thing as her friend's marriage.
Facing the questions from Jiang Ranli and Jiang Fan, Wu Yanqing's eyes dimmed, and then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He waved his hand and said, "The elders in my family saw that I have not married yet, so they took the initiative to take a concubine for me. I..."
As he was speaking, Wu Yanqing stopped and just lowered his eyes to look at the wine glass in front of him. Then he raised it and drank it all in one gulp. There was no joy on his handsome face at all.
Seeing this, Jiang Ranli and Jiang Fan exchanged glances. From Wu Yanqing's few words, they had roughly guessed something. Being forced to take a concubine was not something that would make anyone happy.
After persuading Wu Yanqing for a long time, the three of them were all drunk and dizzy, and it was time for the invitation building to close.
"Yanqing, let's go to my house and continue drinking. When drinking with a good friend, a thousand cups are not enough. We have only drunk a hundred cups." Jiang Fan stood up shakily and pulled Wu Yanqing back to his house to drink.
Jiang Ranli, accompanied by Qiu Die and Dong Xue, walked behind Jiang Fan and Wu Yanqing. The three of them originally planned to take a carriage back home, but as soon as they came out of the invitation building, they saw Yinzhen and the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince standing not far away.
However, it was Jiang Fan who saw them. His mind, which had been full of little stars, instantly cleared up. He then pulled Jiang Ranli over and placed her between himself and Wu Yanqing. The two tall bodies covered her tightly.
Jiang Ranli was already drowsy, and after being pulled by Jiang Fan, she felt even more dizzy. She let him and Wu Yanqing take Wang into the carriage and leave.
It was already late at night and there were almost no people on the streets. Therefore, Jiang Fan, Jiang Ranli, Wu Yanqing, Qiu Die, and Dong Xue were particularly conspicuous, and the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince spotted them without any effort.
"Jiang Fan, why are you and Li'er's maid here? Where is Li'er?" The Tenth Prince strode forward. He hadn't seen Jiang Ranli for a long time. When he went to Jiang Fan's house, he was stopped outside by Jiang Fan. Now he finally had the chance to see him, and he had to say a few words to him and ask about Jiang Ranli's situation.
Seeing the Tenth Prince approaching, Jiang Fan hurriedly pushed Jiang Ranli to Wu Yanqing, and stood in front of them, blocking the Tenth Prince's sight.
However, Jiang Fan was drunk at this time, and even if he wanted to block Jiang Ranli, he was powerless. What's more, the Tenth Prince was not easy to fool, and he was discovered by him immediately.
Seeing Jiang Ranli being embraced by Wu Yanqing, the Tenth Prince immediately became anxious and shouted, "Wu Yanqing, what are you doing? Let Li'er go."
Hearing the voice, the Fourteenth Prince quickened his pace and arrived in front of Wu Yanqing almost instantly. Looking at Jiang Ranli, whose cheeks were rosy and drunk and unconscious, he stretched out his long arm to grab her and bring her to him.
However, Jiang Fan stopped him and said, "Fourteenth Master, men and women should not touch each other. My sister is drunk and dare not trouble you."
