Chapter 331: Words of Tigers and Wolves
It’s the end of the Xu hour and curfew is approaching.
There are almost no pedestrians on the streets of the capital.
Only in Pingkangfang was the busiest time of the day.
After the sword dance, it was Meiying's turn to play a frontier song with the pipa in her arms.
He Jinglan smiled and invited Jianlan to come over and sit and drink with them, saying that she wanted to introduce her good friend to him.
Jianlan and He Jinglan had known each other before, so she did not refuse.
However, he simply sat down and did not take the opportunity to get closer to the guests. His behavior was calm and there was no ambiguous or flattering attitude.
He Jinglan introduced the two sides.
An Qinghe and Jianlan bowed to each other.
Gu Xixi, however, did not move for a long time.
He Jinglan caught a glimpse of something wrong beside her and was shocked.
Just now, I was only focused on watching the sword dance and didn't pay attention to what Gu Xixi was doing.
"Xixi, why are you still drinking?!"
He Jinglan reached out to grab the wine glass, but Gu Xixi poured the remaining wine into her mouth first.
An Qinghe had also picked up the wine jug in front of Gu Xixi, shook it, and showed a helpless expression to He Jinglan.
"It's empty."
He Jinglan was sweating coldly. She held Gu Xixi's shoulders and gently pushed her, "Xixi, Xixi? Can you hear me?"
Finally, Gu Xixi raised her head with a soft neck, her cheeks flushed, and she giggled a few times.
"Of course I can, I'm not drunk!"
"This is juice, it won't make you drunk!"
"Freshly squeezed green plum juice, Liuliumei, are you okay? Sour and sweet is me..."
Everyone present was shocked.
I can't understand what she is saying at all!!
Only Mei Ying managed to stay calm and managed not to play the wrong notes, thus ruining her own professional standards.
He Jinglan said with a bitter face, "Hao Xixi, didn't you say you only wanted to drink two cups? How come the whole pot is gone when I wasn't paying attention for a while?"
Gu Xixi stared at He Jinglan for a moment, then struggled to push her away and gestured:
"Dancing, dancing well, very good! Immersive viewing, immersive, you know."
"Just like this, I watched and poured wine, one glass after another, and accidentally... drank it all."
He Jinglan said in panic, "It's over, it's over. If someone knew that I brought Xixi here and got her drunk, I don't know what would happen!"
Others may not know, but An Qinghe naturally knows who He Jinglan is referring to as "someone".
Instead, he said indifferently, "Let him control everything. We paid for the wine, can he still arrest us and put us in jail?"
After saying that, he poured himself a full glass of wine and drank it out of spite.
Jianlan was only stunned for a moment, and soon returned to her usual elegance and calmness.
After all, it was not his business to explore what the guest said or thought.
Jianlan first instructed the maids to bring the sobering soup and the sobering stones.
He smiled and comforted He Jinglan, "Miss He, don't worry too much. Boss Gu is just a little drunk. Help her to rest for a while and she will feel better."
He Jinglan looked at Jianlan with complicated feelings, feeling bitter inside.
After a thousand words, she could only sigh hesitantly, "We're planning to stay here tonight anyway, I'll help her over, and it'll be good to go to bed early."
Drunk people are particularly heavy.
He Jinglan tried to lift Gu Xixi up, but she was only halfway there.
Gu Xixi suddenly opened her eyes and said, "I'm very thirsty. I'll drink some more!"
He Jinglan was stunned. Before she could react, Gu Xixi had already fallen down weakly.
Seeing that Gu Xixi was about to hit her forehead on the corner of the table when she fell, Jianlan hurriedly stretched out her arms to support her abdomen and finally pulled her up.
Almost at the same time, An Qinghe also rushed over from the other side of the table.
He didn't expect that someone would get ahead of him, and he couldn't brake and collided heavily with Jianlan.
Gu Xixi fell to the ground sandwiched between the two men. The two layers of flesh cushioned her, so she didn't feel any discomfort.
He Jinglan and Mei Ying looked at this scene in surprise.
The door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and the sound of someone gasping for air was heard.
“This, this, this…what’s going on?!”
He Jinglan turned her head and looked, confusion turned into surprise, "Brother, why are you here? And..."
He Jinghui didn't dare to look back, and his face gradually turned blue.
He just wanted to see Mu Nanzhao get angry, but he didn't want anyone to die! !
Mu Nanzhao calmly pushed He Jinghui aside and walked into the private room.
What came into view was Gu Xixi lying straight on two men.
He Jinglan was horrified, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Just now, Xixi fell down, and the two of them bumped into each other while trying to save her. It really is such a coincidence!"
"Look at these two men, one is pressing the other down on the ground, there is absolutely no taboo between men and women!"
Mei Ying came to her senses first, and together with He Jinglan, she helped Gu Xixi to a chair.
An Qinghe and Jianlan then got up one after another.
Both of them were in great pain from the collision and fall.
The house was as silent as a grave.
He Jinghui quickly winked, "We don't need you for now, please leave first."
Mei Ying and the others were about to leave, but Mu Nanzhao said, "Haven't you already spent the money? Why are you leaving?"
After hearing this, of course no one dared to move.
The people in the Flower House had seen many dignitaries, and although the Regent had never been there, they could probably guess Mu Nanzhao's identity just by looking at He Jinghui's reaction.
There was no sign of anger on Mu Nanzhao's face.
He walked up to Gu Xixi and spoke as if to her alone, "How much did you drink? Don't you know your alcohol tolerance?"
He Jinglan lowered her head guiltily and hid behind He Jinghui.
Mu Nanzhao bent down and before he could touch Gu Xixi, the person he thought was in a coma opened his eyes.
When they looked into each other's eyes at close range, each of them was filled with the other's reflection.
Mu Nanzhao frowned slightly, "Awake?"
Gu Xixi stared at him with blank eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
Mu Nanzhao was also patient and just remained bent over, allowing her to watch.
Suddenly, Gu Xixi grabbed Mu Nanzhao's collar with both hands and shouted in a deafening voice:
"I can't marry you yet!!! Why don't you understand~! Huh?!!!"
Everyone was struck by lightning.
Mu Nanzhao had a dark face and carried Gu Xixi away.
An Qinghe wanted to stop him, "Where are you taking Xixi?"
He Jinghui and He Jinglan quickly grabbed him, and tried to persuade him earnestly:
"You heard such embarrassing words, it's lucky that you didn't get silenced, but you really don't want to die chasing him?"
"That's right, Brother An, don't worry. I guarantee with my life that he may not be a gentleman, but at least he is a decent man. At most, he will open a private room nearby for Miss Xixi to sleep, and he will not do anything else!"
Mu Nanzhao carried Gu Xixi sideways and walked out of the private room.
A few unlucky guys who happened to be passing by the corridor outside, those who could hide, retreated hastily, and those who didn't have time to hide could only try to bury their faces against the walls and pillars.
Try your best to prevent the Regent from recognizing them.
The smart waiter pushed open an empty private room nearby.
Mu Nanzhao strode in and kicked the door shut.
He released the fingers pressing on her mute neck, threw Gu Xixi onto the bed, and looked down at her condescendingly.
"I don't understand anything, now I can tell you."
