Chapter 353 Brother has a scar on his face
Xiao Qinghe's alcohol tolerance was indeed far inferior to Chunxi and Princess Hengyang. He passed out after drinking only half a pot of plum wine.
She is a good drinker. When she is drunk, she doesn't cry or make a fuss. She just sits there and recites her lessons. After she finishes, she waits for praise with shining eyes.
Princess Hengyang found it novel at first, but after listening to Xiao Qinghe reciting a few poems, she began to have a headache, because Xiao Qinghe was not satisfied with just reciting, but also explained the meaning of those words in detail, like a nagging female teacher.
Princess Hengyang hated to hear this the most, so she quickly asked Quezhi to help Xiao Qinghe go home to rest.
"Princess, don't you like listening to me recite? Then let me dance for you. I've actually been in poor health for a while, so mother specially invited people from the dance studio to come to the mansion to teach me how to dance to keep fit..."
Xiao Qinghe pushed Quezhi away as she spoke, but she couldn't stand steadily and staggered backwards.
"Miss!"
Quezhi screamed, and the next moment, Xiao Yechen appeared and caught Xiao Qinghe steadily.
Quezhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly stepped forward to help Xiao Qinghe.
Although the eldest lady and Young Master Chen are now brother and sister, they are not related by blood after all, so it is not good for them to behave too intimately.
Realizing Quezhi's intention, Xiao Yechen picked up Xiao Qinghe first.
"General Xiao..."
Quezhi whispered, wanting to remind him that this was not a good idea. However, Xiao Yechen stopped her in her tracks with a look. "Lead the way."
Xiao Yechen's tone was very domineering and unquestionable, completely different from usual. Quezhi subconsciously tensed up and obediently led the way.
Xiao Qinghe's head was already dizzy, and being hugged by Xiao Yechen made her even more dizzy.
She looked up at Xiao Yechen's chin, and vaguely thought she saw Wei Lingze: "Wei Lingze? Aren't you dead? Why are you still haunting me?"
Xiao Qinghe started to struggle as she spoke, kicking with both legs and scratching at Xiao Yechen's face with her hands, like a lively fish. Xiao Yechen was afraid she would fall, so he hugged her tighter with his arms, lowered his head and said solemnly, "I am Xiao Yechen, not Wei Lingze. Sister He'er has recognized the wrong person."
Xiao Qinghe blinked, stared at him seriously for a while, and suddenly reached out to touch the scar on his face: "I really was mistaken, brother, you have a scar on your face."
It was spring and flowers were blooming. Xiao Qinghe drank some wine again. Her jade-like fingertips were warm and soft, bringing a fragrant breeze that fell on the scar, stirring up a fine itch.
Soon, the fingertips landed on the corner of his lips.
Xiao Yechen's eyes darkened instantly, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.
When Quezhi heard Xiao Qinghe's murmurs, she couldn't help but look back and saw Xiao Yechen staring at her young lady with dark eyes.
He was like a wolf and a tiger, wishing to eat his own lady.
So the general's sweetheart is the eldest daughter?
Quezhi's eyelids twitched, and just as she was about to say something, Xiao Yechen looked up at her.
That look was full of murderous intent.
Quezhi felt an inexplicable chill on his neck and quickly lowered his head.
Soon, Xiao Yechen came over with Xiao Qinghe in his arms. As he passed her, she heard Xiao Yechen's cold warning: "Nothing happened tonight, understand?"
Quezhi nodded repeatedly: "I understand. I will keep my mouth shut and not say a single word!"

Ruan Xiuning's body could not be transported back to Yuzhou, so Feng Yinyin could only take her ashes away from Beijing.
Feng Yinyin was no longer confused and was much more determined than before.
"Thank you, Madam Shen, for taking care of me during this period. I was very confused before, thinking that I would be alone and helpless after returning to Yuzhou. But after spending time with Madam Shen for this period of time, I found that women don't necessarily have to be trapped in the backyard and rely on others to live."
"After returning to Yuzhou, I will take over the Feng Family Clinic again and find the notes written by my grandfather, father and brother during their years of medical practice. For the rest of my life, I will devote myself to studying women's hidden diseases and strive to do my best to help women who are suffering, just like Madam Shen."
At the end of her words, Feng Yinyin's eyes lit up again.
Chunxi was very happy to see her transformation and gave her a silver note of 1,000 taels. Feng Yinyin quickly declined: "Mrs. Shen has been so kind to me. I cannot accept any more money from her."
"Miss Feng, please don't misunderstand. This money isn't given to you for free. It's my investment. Please write me a receipt. When the clinic gets back on track, you can give me dividends every year. Of course, if the clinic encounters any trouble again, you can also write to me."
Chunxi was speaking in a completely businesslike tone, but Feng Yinyin's eyes were red.
Madam Shen was telling her not to be afraid and that someone was backing her up.
Feng Yinyin didn't refuse anymore and nodded, saying, "Thank you, ma'am. When I return, I will devote myself to studying medicine and running the business well. I will never let you down."
Chunxi curved her eyes and said, "Good girl, don't be too hard on yourself. Just do your best."
On the second day, Uncle Hu brought his men to escort Feng Yinyin back to Yuzhou.
With the help of the prince consort's think tank to write articles to publicize Ruan Xiu Ning's case, Princess Hengyang's work to redress the woman's grievances quickly became public.
The number of visitors to the princess's mansion suddenly increased, and Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe were facing the same situation.
Chunxi assigned an extra doorman to be on duty and trained several maids to take reception records. After they screened the victims, he would select the victims he needed to meet.
Even so, Chunxi was still very busy.
It was late at night when Chunxi finished dealing with the paperwork. She got up and moved around for a while, then returned to the bedroom and found that Shen Qingyuan was still awake.
"Didn't I tell my husband not to wait for me? Why isn't he asleep yet?"
Shen Qingyuan took out an envelope and said, "Cao Wen wrote a letter. I think Madam should read it."
"Did something happen?"
Shen Qingyuan's expression was a little serious. Chunxi was startled and quickly took it.
After quickly reading the letter, Chunxi's eyes widened in disbelief. She read it carefully again, still uncertainly asking Shen Qingyuan: "Husband, did I read it wrongly? Awen said in the letter that he passed the college entrance examination this year and was admitted as a student."
How long has Awen been in Qingzhou? He has already passed the examination to become a Tongsheng?
Isn’t it said that it is very difficult to pass the examination for Tongsheng? It took Zhou Qin a long time to pass the examination for Tongsheng before he passed the examination for Xiucai. Awen’s qualifications before that were also mediocre.
"Madam, you're not mistaken. My brother-in-law did pass the college entrance examination."
Shen Qingyuan was an old acquaintance of the teachers at Qingzhou Academy. After the examination papers were graded but before the results came out, Shen Qingyuan received a letter of congratulations.
Cao Wen has worked very hard in the past two years, and he deserves these results.
After receiving Shen Qingyuan's affirmative answer, Chunxi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She couldn't help but walk around with the letter in her hand: "It seems that the teachers at Qingzhou Academy are very powerful. In just two years, they have transformed Awen. I must ask Qingshu to thank them and reward Awen well."
Chunxi muttered to himself for a long time, then slapped his forehead and said excitedly, "This is a great thing that will bring honor to our family. Tomorrow I have to go to my father's grave to pay my respects, and burn this letter for him so that he can be happy too."
Chunxi became more and more excited as he talked and couldn't sleep at all.
Finally, Shen Qingyuan forcibly carried her to the bed: "Okay, Madam, it's late. I have a day off tomorrow, so I can accompany you to see your father-in-law. Go to bed."
Chunxi nodded in agreement, and after a while couldn't help but say, "Qingshu has worked hard to take care of Awen, I want to give him a raise, and... well!"
Shen Qingyuan directly blocked Chunxi's mouth.
