"You don't care who I'm talking about! I'm not talking about you anyway!" Shen Yunyao leaned in Jiang Lu's arms and retorted with some displeasure.
Jiang Lu quickly apologized for her: "Miss Song, Sister Shen is drunk. Don't take anything she says to heart."
Shen Yunyao had already closed her eyes and seemed about to fall asleep. Suddenly, she was stimulated by something. She jumped up, waved her fists and shouted at Song Rongqian: "We are all legitimate daughters, why should dad always be biased?" Her! I’m just not convinced!”
Jiang Lu was afraid that Shen Yunyao would hurt Song Rongqian, so she hurriedly stepped forward to pull her back to her side. She also turned to Qian Yingxin and said: "Sister Qian, you should also coax Miss Song back quickly. Both of them drank too much." Well, if something happens to happen, how can we go out during the Flower Festival tomorrow!"
Qian Yingxin was sitting aside and watching the excitement. After hearing this, she felt that what Jiang Lu said made sense.
She didn't mind if Shen Yunyao could go to the Flower Chao Festival, but seeing how she couldn't control herself now, if she accidentally hurt Song Rongqian, she would have to carry it home without food.
Thinking of this, Qian Yingxin finally stood up and came over to hold Song Rongqian's arm, and said softly: "Sister Song, it's getting late, we should go back..."
But Song Rongqian threw Qian Yingxin away, took two steps forward, held Shen Yunyao's fist in her palms, and said in a choked voice: "Sister Shen, I can understand your feelings very well, I also have someone like this. The eldest sister, she is only three years older than me.
"I have lived in her shadow since I was a child. No matter what I do, my grandparents and father only see her!
"It seems that just because she lost her mother when she was young, everyone around her must hold her up like a treasure. Why? Why!"
"That's right, why, why!" Shen Yunyao also became excited, "Her mother was not killed by me, and her father is not her only father, he is also my father!"
"Isn't it? I like the soft smoke that the palace rewarded me so much, but my father didn't care. He just said that the eldest sister would prepare a dowry, so he sent it all to the eldest sister's room! I am only two years younger than her, don't I need it? Are you preparing a dowry?"
"My father praises her for her good calligraphy and reading and copying scriptures every day, but he disdains the purse I stayed up late to embroider. Can her handwriting be used as food? She has never even picked up a needle, and my father only knows how to do it. Indulge her!"
"The eldest sister will pretend to be pitiful in front of my father to gain sympathy. Whenever something happens, she will immediately cry for her dead mother. My father will immediately compromise on everything. It is really unlucky..."
Qian Yingxin and Jiang Lu were separated on the left and right sides. They were originally going to separate the two. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw the two people who were drinking together, who just wanted to get each other drunk. At this time, they actually got closer and closer. The closer they get, simply pull the chairs together.
The two of them were holding hands, head to head, and you and I were accusing my father of his partiality towards his eldest sister and his injustice to himself.
When it comes to the sad part, the two immediately put aside their past grudges and cried while holding each other's hands.
In the end, Song Rongqian patted her chest and vowed: "Yun, Yunyao, don't worry, Ming, Ming, as long as your eldest sister dares to go for an outing in the suburbs, I, I will definitely help you out. Evil, evil spirit..."
"Then, let's make it a deal."
After the two drunkards stumbled, they squinted their eyes, fumbled and hooked each other's little fingers, and made an agreement.
Jiang Lu said helplessly: "Sister Qian, please take Miss Song back quickly. I will take Sister Shen home."
After leaving the restaurant, Shen Yunyao was completely drunk by the still chilly early spring evening breeze, and she fell heavily on Jiang Lu and He Yu.
He Yu had not gone in to serve before, but was waiting downstairs. Now seeing Shen Yunyao so drunk, he was so scared that tears fell down his face.
"Sister Shen is just drunk. Just go back and drink some hangover soup and sleep. It'll be fine."
"But, the girl is currently being grounded at home by the master. She has already gone out secretly today, and now she is so drunk. If the master finds out, it will be the end."
"Being grounded?" This was the first time Jiang Lu heard about this.
He Yu didn't expect that he would spill the beans in his desperation, and his tears fell even more urgently.
Jiang Lu could only comfort her: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, and I won't ask Sister Shen. The top priority now is how to send Sister Shen back safely."
"Thank you, Miss Jiang, you are such a good person." He Yu tried his best to share most of Shen Yunyao's weight, so that Jiang Lu could save some energy.
"How did you get out? Will this road be feasible again if you go back?"
"It should be possible." He Yu was a little unsure, "But that door has been bribed by our girl a long time ago, so it should be possible to let us in quietly!"
"Then just go through that door!"
Jiang Lu helped He Yu get Shen Yunyao into the carriage and went all the way to the corner door of the backyard. He Yu went down and knocked on the door gently, saying a few words inside, and the door opened quickly.
The carriage entered and drove until it reached the second gate and could not go any further.
He Yu didn't want to alarm the women in the yard. Those women's mouths were looser than the waistband of cotton trousers. What they learned tonight would be known to everyone in the house without spending the night.
Jiang Lu had no choice but to follow He Yu, one on each side, and continued to hold Shen Yunyao, taking the path to avoid others, and finally arrived at the entrance of Shen Yunyao's own courtyard.
The courtyard door was open, and it was extremely quiet inside.
Jiang Lu and He Yu, who were already out of breath from exhaustion, could only hear their own heavy breathing and Shen Yunyao's drunken mumblings in their ears, and they didn't notice anything unusual inside.
The two of them carried Shen Yunyao around the screen wall and came to the courtyard. He Yu could not help but mutter: "These little hooves who have been stabbed a thousand times went off to play somewhere when the master was not at home, and no one was left behind." Are you looking after the house? You don’t even know how to light the lamp..."
Before she could finish her complaint, lights and candles suddenly lit up all around the yard.
Through the light of the lamps and candles, He Yu could see clearly that the other people in the yard did not go out to play at all, but were all kneeling aside.
Looking up again, Heyu's knees suddenly became weak and he fell to his knees.
"O-Master..."
Suddenly losing He Yu's support, Jiang Lu couldn't hold Shen Yunyao down alone and fell into a ball in embarrassment.
Shen Zhonglei has been waiting here for more than an hour. He feels that his anger has spread from the roots of his hair to the tips of his hair.
If a spark fell on his head at this time, he would definitely burn brighter than a torch.
The words of reprimand were already on her lips, but a closer look revealed that Jiang Lu really couldn't say many words in front of her subordinate's daughter.
Shen Zhonglei could only hold back his anger and said: "Thank you for sending Yunyao back. It's really late. I'll send someone to take you home so that your parents won't worry."
