Qingxing nearly fainted upon hearing this. Although she couldn't understand what her young mistress was saying, the flippancy in her words was undeniable.
He even hugged her neck and touched her face...
Good heavens, this is so indecent!
Qingxing covered her face, wishing she could faint. Brother Nai noticed what was happening and rushed over.
Seeing the young lady groping the young master, Brother Nai almost fainted.
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry, Miss was just drunk..."
What kind of place is the White Horse Club?
"?"
"Does your young lady know many young masters?"
"???"
The carriage quickly arrived at the Marquis's residence. Jiang Shuwan had long since fallen into a deep sleep. She slept peacefully, but her brother-in-law and cousin were extremely uncomfortable and restless.
Although the young master didn't say anything on the way from Donglai Street to the Marquis's residence, he didn't mention anything about the young master of the White Horse Club again.
But the atmosphere told them that the young master was not in a good mood.
The wet nurse and Granny Tao were old and had gone to bed early. Qingxing told Xiaotao to help Jiang Shuwan into bed, and then fetched water to wipe her hands and face.
Throughout the entire process, Pei Yanzhi stood by and watched without leaving.
Glancing at the tall, slender, and composed figure beside her, Qingxing scratched her ears and cheeks in frustration.
"Brother Nai, what does the young master mean?"
Why hasn't he left yet?
"You're asking me? How would I know?"
Brother Nai lowered his head, wetting a handkerchief as he handed it to Qingxing, glancing at the young master beside him, his mind filled with all sorts of thoughts.
He miscalculated; he didn't expect today to be the day the Crown Prince would return to the capital.
The prince saw the young lady drinking with so many men...
His daughter was bound to be scolded, and from then on, she would even have to report to the authorities when she went out.
Brother Nai felt a pang of anxiety, realizing he had messed up his job.
On the other side, Pei Yanzhi, who had been standing silently, also made a move. He moved to the window and gently opened half of it.
A gentle breeze blows in the evening.
Jiang Shuwan, who was lying in bed complaining of the heat, immediately turned over with a comfortable hum.
She was fast asleep in bed, completely unaware of how anxious Qingxing and Brother Nai were.
After thinking it over, Brother Nai felt that he should take the main responsibility for this matter, so he handed the handkerchief in his hand to Qingxing and knelt down to Pei Yan to beg for forgiveness.
“Young Master, everyone at the banquet is a shopkeeper from Donglai Street. Miss originally came to have just one drink and leave, but I didn’t notice and she drank a few more cups…”
"You're her uncle, so there's no need for such a grand gesture."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yanzhi raised his fan and helped the baby stand up.
"..."
Brother Nai paused for a moment before thanking him, "Thank you, Your Highness, but tonight was indeed an accident..."
"She only took the two of you with her when she went out?" Pei Yanzhi interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
"...Yes, there's also a groom."
"Bring a few guards next time."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Brother Nai completely bewildered.
"What happened?"
"Miss was out playing until late at night and was still drunk. I thought the young master would say that Miss was being improper and forbid her from going out to play, but I didn't expect the young master to say nothing."
"And you're telling me to bring a few guards with me when I go out from now on?"
"Is this Miss Ren's intention to come and go?"
Qingxing also looked dumbfounded.
The moment she saw Pei Yanzhi, she knew something terrible was about to happen.
After all, in this day and age, what married woman would stay out late at night, drinking alcohol, even though it was a formal and open occasion, with mostly men present?
Thinking about all this, Qingxing felt like the sky had fallen.
When the prince came in, he had a sullen face, and she thought the matter was not going to end well.
Didn't expect it to end so quickly?
The next day, Jiang Shuwan woke up with a splitting headache. Before she could even drink a sip of water, she heard Qingxing babbling about what had happened the night before.
"Miss, what exactly does the young master mean?"
"..."
She had no idea what Pei Yanzhi meant.
To her shock, she had actually mistaken Pei Yanzhi for the young master of the White Horse Club...
What a terrible thing to do!
Xiao Quanchen, an innocent and pure young man, was humiliated by her.
Fortunately, Pei Yanzhi couldn't understand.
But why does Pei Yanzhi always come back when she's drunk, instead of early or late?
Does he have a grudge against her?
Jiang Shuwan clutched her head, rubbing it with a headache, and asked while drinking the hangover soup Xiao Tao had brought her, "Where is he?"
Who is it?
"Your Highness."
"He's kneeling in the lady's courtyard."
"..."
“You’ve been kneeling all night, Miss. You don’t know, the young master just sent you back to your room and the head maid called you over right after. You’ve been kneeling since last night. Miss, what do you think we should do? The young master is already exhausted from his studies. He’s been kneeling all night without eating or drinking anything, and it looks like it’s going to rain again.”
Jiang Shuwan paused in her soup-drinking motion.
She glanced outside and saw a strong wind blowing and dark clouds covering the sky. No wonder she felt chilly as soon as she got up.
"The old lady doesn't know?"
"The old lady went to the palace banquet last night and fell asleep as soon as she returned. The young master ordered that no one should disturb the old lady."
"Where is the old Marquis?"
"The Marquis is in office and has not been home recently."
Depend on.
So that means she's the only one who can save the young minister?
"Sister-in-law, please save my elder brother! He has been kneeling in the madam's courtyard all night and hasn't come back."
Pei Shushu rushed in, and the little girl burst into tears as soon as she entered.
“I just went to beg my wife, but she ignored me completely.”
"Now, you're the only one who can help your brother."
"..."
Jiang Shuwan's teeth were aching.
What right does she have to meddle in other people's business? She's not Pei Yanzhi's wife... oh no, she actually is his wife...
trouble!
Filial piety is paramount; how could she possibly save her...?
Jiang Shuwan's pretty face was all scrunched up. She was grumpy when she woke up, had a headache from drinking, and didn't really want to get involved. Pei Shushu and Qingxing were watching her expectantly from the side.
"Miss, please help the young master. We were caught drinking by him yesterday, but he didn't say a single bad word about you."
"It's not that I'm trying to help the young master, it's just that it's really hard to find a family as good as yours."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan looked up at Qingxing.
Qingxing is right. Regardless of her private relationship with Pei Yanzhi, as long as they are husband and wife in public, in this era, it is wrong of her to be out having fun so late at night.
Pei Yanzhi didn't say a word.
In addition, there were all the things Pei Yanzhi had done for her family in the past, and the things he had done to help Sun Wanwan test Jia Qingzhou's knowledge...
The small business owner is a good one.
She doesn't want to change bosses anytime soon.
Let's save them then...
It's pitiful that she, a working-class woman, has to get up so early to act.
"Come on, it's been a long time since we've seen Madam. Let's go and pay our respects to her."
After gulping down the hangover soup, Jiang Shuwan simply tied her hair up in a bun and headed towards the Wen family's courtyard.
Before we even got close, we could hear the sound of Wen smashing a bowl.
"So you're just protecting that bitch Jiang, aren't you?"
