In the floral hall, the retainers of the Wei Mansion all nodded in agreent, greatly admiring Mu Qingge’s ticulous mind.
However, the Dragon Tooth Guards who had followed Mu Qingge for a long ti, along with the two maids You He and Hua Yue, looked rather strange.
Mu Qingge touched the tip of her nose and said sheepishly, "I tricked him."
"Tricked him, ha, and then... what do you an you tricked him?!" Wei Qi reacted, so shocked that he stamred.
Mu Qingge tugged at the corner of her mouth and explained, "I’m not an Immortal, how could I foresee Li Kui encountering Li Gui? I just bluffed him, and since he had a guilty conscience, he didn’t dare to verify and just ran away."
Everyone took a breath of cold air in their hearts.
They revised their earlier admiration; this young master Mu was not only ticulous in thought but also daring beyond asure!
Wei Linlang took a deep breath, cupped his hands towards Mu Qingge, and said, "Mu virtuous brother’s courage is indeed..." After holding back for a while, Wei Linlang could only smile wryly and say, "Truly well-deserved!"
The young lord of the Mu Mansion in Qin Country, if not daring beyond asure, how could he have blood-washed the Imperial City? How could he make Tu Country tremble to their core?
Mu Qingge smiled shyly, waved her hand, and said, "However, today’s event did remind . I really should get an anti-counterfeit label for the Elixirs."
"Mu Ge, you’re really amazing!" Wei Guanguan’s eyes sparkled so brightly that it seed like little stars of excitent might pop out.
Wei Linlang gave Wei Guanguan a playful slap on the head, glaring as he warned his pair of children, "What do you an Mu Ge? Call him Uncle Mu, such impertinence!"
"..." Mu Qingge.
"..." Wei Qi.
"..." Wei Guanguan.
"..."
The retainers of the Wei Mansion.
Wei Linlang proudly tucked away the Elixir in his hand, not noticing that Mu Qingge’s face had ford an embarrassed expression because of his words.
The banquet at the Wei Mansion was not disrupted by the appearance and departure of Feng Yugui.
On the contrary, afterward, the ambiance beca even more lively.
Mu Qingge was toasted repeatedly by the Wei Mansion retainers, with a determination not to leave until thoroughly intoxicated.
It wasn’t until after midnight when the floral hall was strewn with people lying around that Mu Qingge, her eyes slightly tipsy and cheeks flushed, that Wei Linlang waved his sleeve, announcing the end of the banquet.
You He and Hua Yue each supported Mu Qingge, heading towards the small courtyard where she resided.
As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, Mu Qingge pushed away the two maids and staggered towards her room.
You He and Hua Yue hurried to catch up, the latter anxiously saying, "Young lord really, drinking with that bunch of rough n without any reservation."
"I’m not drunk, just feeling a bit dizzy," ca the slurred defense from ahead, from Mu Qingge.
You He helplessly shook her head, exchanged a glance with Hua Yue, and quickly caught up to hold Mu Qingge’s hands, preventing her from bumping into a nearby pillar.
"Young lord, when have you ever been so straightforward? You actually drank with them for real, and didn’t even take the hangover prevention pills I prepared beforehand," You He steadied Mu Qingge’s swaying form, a hint of reproach in her voice.
"Today I’m happy!" Mu Qingge raised her hand, waved it around chaotically, and said loudly.
Tonight, the straightforwardness of the Wei Mansion retainers reminded her of the days in a past life, drinking with comrades. That kind of unrestrained and exuberant feeling is sothing those who haven’t experienced it won’t understand.
It’s not that she can’t experience such feelings with the Dragon Tooth Guards.
It’s just that, to her, the Dragon Tooth Guards are a subordinate relationship, and no matter how much identities are relaxed, it’s not the sa kind of joy from drinking heartily and eating freely.
However, the retainers of the Wei Mansion, perhaps due to Wei Linlang’s influence, all have frank and straightforward personalities, without any pretense. They don’t know her true identity, only that she is the acknowledged sworn brother of their family head, making the drinking much more casual.
