Chapter 342 Go and persuade Xie Qi
"That's enough, Lu Yuan, that's enough!" Jiang Zhi's alcohol tolerance was already low, and Lu Yuan had fed her strong liquor.
She still needs to go back to her residence; what would happen if she got drunk here?
She placed her hands on his chest, her lips pressed tightly together.
The clear wine dripped down his lips, bathed in the cold light of the moon, and slid down his neck into his clothes before being swept up and swallowed by Lu Yuan.
Noticing Jiang Zhi's panting and flushed face, Lu Yuan stopped what he was doing and stared at her intently. "How are you feeling?"
"No matter what, you just promised me you wouldn't drink anymore!" Jiang Zhi needed to take deep breaths to calm the burning sensation surging in her chest.
Lu Yuan's eyes, however, were unusually bright and dark. "Yes, I didn't drink it. I fed it all to you just now."
"..." Jiang Zhi ignored him and struggled to get up to leave. "I have to go back."
However, before Lu Yuan could stop her, her legs went weak and she slumped back into his arms.
Lu Yuan grabbed her waist, his muffled laughter trembling slightly against her body, "You threw yourself into my arms."
Jiang Zhi's head was starting to spin. She stared at Lu Yuan, shook her head vigorously, and suddenly asked, "Lu Yuan, how come you... have two heads?"
"Hmm?" Lu Yuan was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Jiang Zhi held his face with both hands, frowning, "Don't shake him around."
"Okay, I won't move." Lu Yuan said and really let go of her hand.
Jiang Zhi glared at him with her wet eyes, "I told you not to move, why didn't you listen?"
She tried to straighten Lu Yuan's head from side to side, but it was still wobbling, so she gave up, let go, and got up to leave.
"Fine, I don't care about you anymore, I'm going home."
She stumbled and almost fell, so Lu Yuan quickly got up and helped her sit back on the soft stool.
But he found that Jiang Zhi was staring at him without blinking.
Lu Yuan felt a little uneasy under her gaze. "What's wrong?"
“You are not my husband, who are you?” she asked.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he hated this heartless person so much that his teeth itched. He squeezed out the words from between his teeth, "I am your husband."
"Husband?" Jiang Zhi tilted her head.
"Yes, you and I have been husband and wife for a long time. You are my wife. Be good, call me husband."
"Really?" Jiang Zhi blinked her misty eyes, her long, curled eyelashes resembling butterfly wings wet with dew.
Just as Lu Yuan thought Jiang Zhi was about to ask something else, he heard her open her lips, her voice muffled like softened honey, "Husband."
They actually called out obediently.
Lu Yuan's breathing became disordered for a moment, and a tingling, itchy sensation shot from his tailbone to the top of his head, causing his pupils to suddenly become deep and dark.
She got drunk on the boat that took us south to Sizhou before.
She was so obedient and docile, a stark contrast to her usual self. It was as if she would obediently agree to whatever he said.
This idea made Lu Yuan eager to try it.
"It's getting late, shouldn't we rest now?" He picked her up and sat her on the edge of the bed.
He bent down and took off her shoes, socks, and outer garment.
Although Jiang Zhi vaguely felt that something was wrong, her mind, clouded by alcohol, couldn't grasp the key points, while the other person's voice and scent inexplicably made her feel at ease.
So he nodded and said "okay," and obediently let him do as he pleased.
Lu Yuan looked up and saw her looking down at him. She was supporting herself on both sides of the bed, tilting her head to look at him, her little legs swinging back and forth, making his heart flutter.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and could only hear the sound of his own heart pounding violently.
Although it seemed despicable to do such a thing while she was drunk, he was by no means a gentleman.
Moreover, Jiang Zhi is too easy to bully right now. Her tendency to get angry more easily than when she usually rejects him makes him want to rub her hard.
Even if she slaps me a few times after she sobers up, it's worth it.
"Open your mouth and eat it."
Lu Yuan took a snack from the table and put it in her mouth.
He didn't want her to complain of being hungry again halfway through, like last time.
Jiang Zhi complained that the pastries were too big and shook her head, refusing to swallow them.
Lu Yuan patiently coaxed her, "Be good, eat slowly, you can do it. Ouch—don't bite my hand."
Tears welled up in Jiang Zhi's eyes as she looked at him pitifully.
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine from looking at her like that.
But the opportunity was rare, and he was not one to easily soften his heart.
Jiang Zhi's cheeks ached from being stuffed with snacks, and she frowned, wanting to spit them out.
Lu Yuan only managed to let out a muffled groan.
Jiang Zhi frowned deeply. "What? I don't like the taste of this dessert. I want something sweet."
“…I’m sorry,” Lu Yuan wiped the residue from the corner of her lips, “I’ll buy it for you tomorrow.”
Jiang Zhi hummed and drank a few sips of the tea he fed her, then asked him, "Can I go to sleep now?"
Lu Yuan chuckled, "Alright, my wife, go to sleep first."
Jiang Zhi was already quite drunk, so upon hearing this, she pulled the mattress up and lay down with her back to him.
Soon, long, drawn-out breathing sounds began.
Lu Yuan pulled her into his arms, letting her wrap her arms and legs around him. The two were intimately close, and only then did he rest peacefully in her arms, completely satisfied.
...
When Jiang Zhi regained consciousness, it was already daylight outside.
She stared in disbelief at Lu Yuan's face, whose nose was almost touching hers, and pushed him away. "How did I get here?"
Lu Yuan had already woken up, and upon hearing this, he merely raised an eyebrow, "You were drunk last night, and you insisted on holding me before you would fall asleep."
Jiang Zhi was skeptical. "Really?"
Lu Yuan nodded, "No matter how I push you, I can't get away."
...
"I have to go back." Although Jiang Zhi didn't quite believe it, she didn't have the mind to care about it right now. She hurriedly put on her clothes and got off the bed.
Lu Yuan stopped her, "Have breakfast before you leave. I've already sent someone to the Shen residence to inquire. Lord Shen is just as well as he was yesterday, so you don't need to worry."
Jiang Zhi paused for a moment.
Although he didn't say anything, he wasn't as anxious as before.
But soon Jiang Zhi asked him, puzzled, "What did you do last night? Why does my mouth feel so sore and painful?"
Lu Yuan shook his head seriously, "I forgot, I was drunk last night too."
Jiang Zhi remembered that last night she went to Lu Yuan's house and found him drinking a lot of alcohol, so she tried to persuade him to stop. Instead, she was half-coaxed and half-tricked into drinking several mouthfuls of alcohol, and then she had no recollection of it.
She tapped her head and found she had no memory of it at all.
We have no choice but to give up.
"Don't make me drink again next time," Jiang Zhi complained.
＊
It was nearly noon when they returned to the Shen residence.
Fortunately, she secretly left the mansion in the middle of the night last night and instructed Qingxing to leave a side gate for her, as she usually gets up late.
Therefore, when she returned, no one else in the manor noticed that she had spent the night with Lu Yuan.
But Jiang Zhi still felt uneasy.
This feeling persisted until the gatekeeper reported that the Lady of Wuyi had personally come to visit Lord Shen.
Jiang Zhi had no time to think about it and went out with her servants to personally greet him.
After inquiring about Shen Ci'an's situation, Lady Wuyi sighed and had something brought up.
"This thousand-year-old ginseng was obtained from the northern border by the young master Xiaoxin. I have never been able to use it. If it can help Lord Shen today, it will be a blessing for this ginseng."
Jiang Zhi repeatedly declined, saying, "I am already extremely grateful that Madam has come to visit us. This ginseng is too precious, and it is also a token of the young master's filial piety. How can we possibly accept it?"
Lady Wuyi dismissed the crowd, saying, "Please accept this, Madam Shen. Actually, I came here today because I have something I'd like to ask Madam Shen for help with."
"Please speak freely, Lady Wuyi. I will not refuse to help you as long as it is of assistance."
Lady Wu Yi sighed, "I beg Lady Shen to help me persuade my unfilial son. His father is about to break his legs."
"What?" Jiang Zhi exclaimed in surprise.
