Chapter 77 Sir, are you drunk?
Shen Qingyuan naturally knew that Chunxi had nothing in her belly.
But he immediately put his arm around Chunxi's waist and said seriously, "My wife doesn't like these dishes. Please ask your nephew to make a new table."
Shen Qingchi didn't expect that the meal would turn out like this before it even started.
Young Master Wei said that this was a dish prepared by a famous chef from Huainan that he had specially hired at a high price. My sister-in-law wanted to remove the dish without even eating a single bite, but my eldest brother still supports her. Where can Master Wei put his face?
Although she was not the one who spoke, Shen Qingchi still felt very uncomfortable. She clenched her handkerchief tightly and could not help but persuade her: "Sister-in-law, I think these dishes are very delicious. You should eat some. It would be a waste to clear them away like this."
Chunxi hugged Shen Qingyuan's arm and said confidently: "I'm not going to take it away and collapse. We can send it to the beggars in the city to eat. Just think of it as a good deed. I'm really sick right now. I'm going to vomit when I see these dishes again. I can't eat a single bite."
After Chunxi finished speaking, she dived into Shen Qingyuan's chest.
Shen Qingyuan often deals with corpses and murderers. He takes a bath and changes clothes every day. He has a pleasant soapberry scent on his body, which makes people feel at ease.
Wei Lingze's blood vessels were throbbing with joy at the spring breeze.
In front of so many people, Chunxi almost stuck to Shen Qingyuan, without any girlish shyness or reserve.
Even if it was acting, this was too much.
Moreover, she knew very well that he had specially prepared this table of Huainan dishes for her, which was considered an active gesture of goodwill on his part. However, she did not appreciate it at all and even asked him to remove the dishes and give them to the beggars.
It was like throwing his sincerity to the ground and stomping on it.
Shen Qingyuan is about to go to Xuzhou to investigate a case, and no one can protect her. Why does she still dare to be so arrogant?
The more Wei Lingze thought about it, the gloomier his face became. Shen Qingyuan hugged Chunxi and said softly, "If your nephew-in-law doesn't want to, then there's no need to eat this meal."
Shen Qingyuan was about to take Chunxi away when Wei Lingze finally spoke up, "Come here, take all these dishes away and give them to the beggars in the city. Find another chef to cook."
The owner of the pleasure boat hurried in, a look of confusion on his face. "These are all famous Huainan dishes, and they taste very authentic. They were all made according to your request. Why are they suddenly being removed?"
"I told you to withdraw, so withdraw!"
Wei Lingze raised his voice and vented all his dissatisfaction on the owner of the houseboat. The owner trembled all over and nodded repeatedly, then said cautiously: "But if we throw away these dishes, there won't be much left..."
There is definitely no problem in cooking another table of dishes, but the dishes will not be as rich as they are now. Of course, there is still enough time to give them another hour or two to buy new dishes and prepare them.
Wei Lingze's displeasure reached its peak, and he was about to ask the owner of the pleasure boat to find a solution himself when Chunxi raised her head from Shen Qingyuan's arms and said, "I want to eat pickled fish, spicy shrimp, eight-treasure porridge, and roujiamo..."
Chunxi ordered the dishes one by one. The owner of the houseboat broke out in a cold sweat at first, but after listening for a while he realized that the ingredients of the dishes ordered by Chunxi were the same as those on the table, but they were cooked in a salty and spicy way.
There are ready-made ingredients on the houseboat, so it wouldn't be difficult to transfer a chef over.
The owner of the houseboat breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back, and asked the kitchen helper to wash the ingredients and prepare the dishes first.
Half an hour later, new dishes were served again. Chunxi started eating seriously, without any feeling of nausea or vomiting.
She did it on purpose!
Wei Lingze stared at Chunxi, wishing he could turn his gaze into something real and pierce through Chunxi's face to see how thick it was.
Shen Qingyuan took in Wei Lingze's gaze. As he picked up some food for Chunxi, he said, "Our nephew-in-law has always been at odds with us. Why did he suddenly think of treating us to a meal?"
Shen Qingchi was already embarrassed because Chunxi insisted on removing the dishes, and he almost choked when he heard what his elder brother said.
Brother, we are having a meal treated by Young Master Wei, can't you be more tactful when speaking?
Shen Qingyuan was not at all tactful, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Wei Lingze was full of scrutiny, as he openly regarded Wei Lingze as an evil person with ulterior motives.
Wei Lingze, however, was not angry. Instead, he regained his composure and smiled gently, "Before, I hadn't adapted to the change of identity for a while, and my aunt had always wanted to distance herself from me. But now that we've had more interactions, I can't help but overthink it."
Wei Lingze's words were ambiguous, leaving a lot of room for imagination.
It seemed as if Chunxi married Shen Qingyuan as his second wife on purpose to meet Wei Lingze more often and attract his attention.
You have such a big face.
Chunxi was so angry that she wanted to refute on the spot, but before she could open her mouth, Shen Qingyuan grabbed her wrist. His fingertips with thin calluses brushed across her wrist bone, leaving a slight itch, and Chunxi's anger dissipated most of the time.
Shen Qingyuan looked at Wei Lingze and said gently, "You are indeed overthinking it. This marriage was planned by me for a long time. If not, Ah Xi would never be willing to have anything to do with you again."
Shen Qingyuan helped Chunxi to make his position clear and also put himself in a lower position between the two.
The word "Ah Xi" was so intimate and tender that Wei Lingze felt his heart tighten.
Impossible.
This marriage was clearly planned by the Mo family, and Shen Qingyuan had no choice but to do it. How could he really be attracted to Chunxi?
Shen Qingyuan must be jealous that he stole the credit for the last case, so he deliberately acted with Chunxi to provoke him.
He won't be fooled.
Wei Lingze quickly found an excuse to convince himself and signaled Xingzhou to pour a glass of wine for himself, Shen Qingyuan and Chunxi.
“It was my misunderstanding before. I apologize to Uncle Shen and Auntie.”
Wei Lingze raised his wine glass as he spoke. Chunxi was very happy to drink this apology wine. Just as she was about to reach out, Shen Qingyuan took the wine glass in front of her first: "Axi is not feeling well today, I will drink it for her."
Shen Qingyuan's defense was obvious, and Wei Lingze did not stop him. Instead, he toasted him more eagerly.
Anyway, if he drinks one glass, Shen Qingyuan will have to drink two, so he is not the one who suffers.
Chunxi didn't know how much Shen Qingyuan could drink, but she didn't want to show her weakness in front of Wei Lingze, so she just secretly picked up some food for Shen Qingyuan to fill his stomach and not hurt it.
In the end, Shen Qingyuan remained calm, but Wei Lingze spoke without thinking.
"Although Chunxi is no longer a member of the Wei family, she has taken care of me wholeheartedly for three years. Uncle Shen, don't worry. When you leave Hanjing, I will definitely take good care of my aunt."
Wei Lingze emphasized the word "care", which carried a different meaning.
Xiao Qinghe's expression changed slightly, and he said at the right time: "Wei Lang, you've drunk too much."
"I don't……"
Wei Lingze did not admit it, so Xiao Qinghe and Xingzhou helped him to the bow of the boat to get some fresh air to sober him up.
Soon, the pleasure boat docked.
Wei Lingze and Xiao Qinghe left first.
After getting on the carriage, Chunxi couldn't help but curse: "When drunk, the truth comes out. Wei Lingze must be up to no good. Was it his intention to appoint you to Xuzhou this time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qingyuan suddenly reached out and pressed her lips.
Perhaps it was the alcohol that was taking over, Shen Qingyuan's fingers felt very hot. Then Chunxi heard his low, hoarse voice: "I helped Madam drink so much. Madam, can you please shift your attention from other men to me?"
Chunxi: “…”? ? ?
Your big sister is still here. Are you drunk, sir?
