This incident did not bother Xie Wanyu for a long time, because after Xiao Zhi recovered from his illness, Chu Shen never came again.
If she were like her previous life, this kind of thing would definitely scare her to death.
But she had been wandering around as a ghost for so many years and had never seen anything, so she knew very well that Chu Shen definitely had a conspiracy, but she couldn't guess it because she didn't have a deep friendship with Chu Shen.
In a few days, it will be New Year’s Eve.
Xie Wanyu led a group of people to make dumplings in her room.
"Madam, I washed some coins and put them into the dumplings. Let's see who can eat them. They will have good luck in the coming year." Nanny He said with a smile.
"This is good, it's a good sign." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Compared with the fun and harmony in other courtyards, the Hou Mansion is a different scene.
Tai'an Hall.
Mrs. Xiao was sitting at the front of the table. There were some melon seeds, candies and other things on the table, but she was old and not interested in these things.
Sitting on both sides of her were Xiao Jing and Xue Xuening.
"Thanks to the war in the northwest, you can spend the New Year at home." Mrs. Xiao said happily.
"It's just two months late to go to Northern Xinjiang." Xiao Jing said nonchalantly, "Grandma, your grandson can't live happily with you, so you have to take good care of yourself."
Mrs. Xiao nodded, "You are the one who makes me worry-free the most, but you married a wife who doesn't worry about you."
"To say that these siblings are really ignorant, forget about your usual temper. It's the Chinese New Year, and I don't know if I will come back. My grandmother is so old, can I still invite her?" Xue Xuening said.
Madam Xiao immediately lost her temper and said, "No matter how bad our Marquis Mansion is, I can't do without such an ignorant woman."
Xue Xuening snickered secretly, but her expression remained as usual, "Grandma, don't be too angry. At least the Marquis is still here, and Min'er is also under Cheng Huan's knees."
"That's true." Mrs. Xiao's expression softened a little, "In the evening, let the children come to my room to watch the New Year's Eve, and we can all have fun together."
In previous years, Xie Wanyu prepared it, but this year due to money shortages, Xue Xuening was not fully prepared. A few people sat there alone, without any New Year atmosphere at all.
Xue Xuening doesn't know how to run a business, so naturally she's not as handy as Xie Wanyu.
"Grandma, my eldest sister-in-law has specially hired a juggling troupe to come here this year to entertain us during the dinner." Xiao Jing said in a flattering manner, "My eldest sister-in-law is very thoughtful."
"Yes." Mrs. Xiao responded.
Although she despises Xue Xuening, she is quite satisfied with Xue Xuening now compared with the naive Xie Wanyu.
"Xue Ning has worked hard this year." Mrs. Xiao said reluctantly.
Xue Xuening glanced at Xiao Jing, and the two looked at each other and smiled. It was really difficult to make Mrs. Xiao praise her.
After that, the three people stopped talking, and the whole room was lifeless.
A separate courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
Xie Wanyu asked Pei'er and Zhufang to cook dumplings, while she distributed wine and meat to the other servants in the yard. As long as there were two night watchmen, not even bandits would come down the mountain to rob them on New Year's Eve. .
After serving the food and wine, Xie Wanyu took Xiao Zhi to build a snowman.
She is really a very competent mother. Xiao Zhi became a lot more cheerful under her leadership, and her whole little face was filled with happiness.
After building the snowman, the two of them started setting off firecrackers again.
They didn't go back to the house until Zhufang said the dumplings were ready.
Seeing that Zhu Fang and Pei'er were still waiting, Xie Wanyu said, "You go and have a drink with the ladies and maids in the courtyard. You are not needed here."
"Thank you, Madam." Zhufang and Pei'er smiled and thanked them, then walked out.
Only Xie Wanyu and Xiao Zhi were left in the room.
"Eat more dumplings." Xie Wanyu said.
She herself poured wine to drink, and while she was drinking, she saw Xiao Zhi eating the coins, and she suddenly felt as happy as anything.
Xie Wanyu directly rewarded him with a one hundred tael silver note, "Take it, this is a reward from mother to you."
"Mother, this is too much, and my son has no place to spend money." Xiao Zhi refused to accept it.
"Just take it and hold it. In the future, you will need money to have drinks with your classmates or buy things for the girl you like." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Xiao Zhi's face turned red, "I don't give flowers to others. I will use them to honor my mother in the future."
The two of them became more and more happy as they talked. Xie Wanyu accidentally drank a few more drinks, so that Xiao Zhi didn't even know when she returned to the room.
She blurted her eyes, "Add it, admire it?"
"He went back to his room to dream about Duke Zhou." A voice rang in her ears. Xie Wanyu could only vaguely see a figure, "Who are you? Why do you look so familiar?"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand and pinched the man's face.
Suddenly, the man froze, "Xie Wanyu, did you drink fake wine?"
Xie Wanyu smiled stupidly, "I bought the strongest wine, so it can't be fake." She explained with a loud tongue, regardless of whether the person opposite could understand.
After a while, she felt nauseous and vomited it out.
The person sitting across from her was not immune at all.
The man's face was as frosty as he looked at her fiercely, "Xie Wanyu!"
"Yes, I'm sorry." After Xie Wanyu said that, she lay on the ground and fell asleep directly.
Originally, Xie Wanyu didn't want to drink much, but for some reason, the more she drank, the better she felt. She suddenly lost control and drank a little too much.
She didn't know how long it took before she faintly woke up.
It was still dark outside, and occasionally I could hear the sound of the maid and the servants making drinks.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It shouldn't be late yet.
"I thought you would sleep until dawn!"
Xie Wanyu opened the curtain and saw Tai Shuqi sitting at the table with a cold face, and he was only wearing a white undershirt.
At that time, Xie Wanyu looked at her clothes and found that she was only wearing underwear, "Tai Shuqi, what did you do to me!"
Tai Shuyi looked at her with a helpless expression, "What did you say I did to you?"
"I, I, I'm a married woman!" Xie Wanyu's heart sank, but then she thought about it, Tai Shuzhen wouldn't be so wretched and take advantage of others' danger.
"Think carefully about what you did to me." Tai Shuqi raised his eyebrows and said.
Xie Wanyu only remembered that she drank a lot of wine, and vaguely remembered that she pinched someone's face, but it was really difficult for her brain to remember something after being numbed by alcohol.
Could it be that she did something outrageous?
Thinking about it carefully, it's possible that she was originally very coveted for Tai Shuqi's appearance. If she didn't deliberately control it when she was drunk, she might actually do something bold.
Xie Wanyu covered her shoulders. Did she really do something else?
After hesitating for a long time, she said with a grimace, "Your Majesty, I will not be responsible for you. After all, I am a married woman. However, I can give you money as compensation. You set a price."
After saying that, she covered her face. She had never dared to think about such an outrageous thing in her two lifetimes.
