Seeing this, Xiao Yan pounded the floor, feeling that he was more wronged than Dou E.
Looking at Gu Linchao, who had finished instructing Si Yi and was now engrossed in handling state affairs behind his desk, he opened his mouth and said with a pained expression, "Gu Hengzhi, don't go too far. What did what happened last time have to do with me? Did I get your wife drunk or something? She was just being greedy and stole the wine pot when I wasn't looking. You can't pin the whole thing on me for her getting drunk..."
Gu Linchao didn't even raise his head, and said coldly, "That Hundred Flowers Wine, did you bring it to Chenxiang Courtyard?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, "Yes..."
Did you tell her about the properties of the alcohol beforehand?
Xiao Yan felt guilty. "I didn't have time to say it, but I only poured her a little bit to taste."
That girl drank his entire pot of wine, a pot that cost him a thousand taels of silver! She just drank it all down like that, and did he say anything? On the contrary, because she got drunk, he was so scared that he ran away and didn't dare to go home for several days. Did he have it easy?
Not only did he end up in a mess, but now he's also getting lectured by his nephew. He's really having a tough time.
Most importantly, his nephew was too ruthless; he actually let Si Yi steal his purse to buy Baihua Qingniang (a type of Chinese liquor)...
His money...
Thinking about it, he felt utterly hopeless and lay back on the ground, sprawling out in a starfish shape.
"Then it's your fault. You knew the nature of that wine, but you didn't explain it beforehand, causing her to drink so much without understanding why she slept for three days and three nights before waking up," Gu Linchao said angrily.
Xiao Yan rolled her eyes. "So what if she slept for three days and three nights? What happened? Did she lose a piece of flesh or a piece of skin?"
Gu Linchao sneered, "So what if you slept for three days and three nights?"
Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the laughter.
His nephew usually doesn't smile, but if he does, it means someone is about to suffer bad luck.
Clearly, he was the one who was about to suffer misfortune.
Sure enough, Si Yi returned shortly afterward with the Hundred Flowers Brew.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly. "How did you manage to buy it?"
Qingfeng Pavilion's Hundred Flowers Brew is so rare that it cannot be bought simply by having money.
So he wasn't actually worried, as he was certain that Si Yi might not be able to buy it.
To his surprise, Si Yi returned with the wine so quickly.
"I gave the shopkeeper a thousand taels of silver, and said it was for my master. The shopkeeper even gave me an extra pot as a gift," Si Yi said coldly.
When Xiao Yan saw that he was indeed holding another flask of wine in his other hand, he immediately felt a little embarrassed.
He forgot that his nephew had become famous at a young age, made countless contributions to the cause, and was the guardian of the cause. The people respected him, supported him, and regarded him as a god.
When the owner of Qingfeng Pavilion saw that it was the wine he wanted, he naturally didn't dare to make things difficult and was too busy giving it to him.
"Since they've already given you wine, what about my money? Give it back!" He stretched out his hand towards Si Yi.
"The master said that we cannot take even a penny from the people. The Duke of Jingguo's money will naturally be used to pay the bill." Si Yi's tone was very calm, but his words almost made Xiao Yan vomit blood.
"You brat, just like your master..." The words "inhuman" were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
"Do you want to drink it yourself, or do you want Si Yi to feed you?" Gu Linchao asked with a cold expression.
