Li Shiyan insisted on getting up, but he was stopped by the servant boy.
No matter what, he couldn't let him do anything stupid while he was drunk.
In the end, knowing that it was useless, Li Shiyan could only lie on the bed and leave. With his back facing the crowd, he waved his hand. "All of you, leave."
"Let me stay and take care of you. You're so drunk right now, what if …"
Before he could finish, Li Shiyan angrily shouted, "Shut up! All of you, get out! I just want to sleep!"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay and had no choice but to leave.
Li Shiyan covered himself with the quilt and wriggled a few times …
On the other side, the banquet was still going on.
Wen Che inquired about his uncle's whereabouts from the servant boy. The servant boy replied, "After Lord Wen celebrated Lord Li's birthday in advance, he went to accompany Manor Lord in seclusion."
Did he hear wrong?
Why would his uncle, the Old Urchin, go into seclusion?
How could he do such a tranquil thing?
Wen Che was puzzled. "Did Uncle say anything before he went into seclusion?"
"He didn't say anything. He just reminded me that if General Wen needs me, don't wait."
The meaning behind his words was that he didn't want to help!
Wen Che specially brought Ji Yunshu to the villa to seek Uncle's help. Now that Uncle was in seclusion, it was obvious that this trip was in vain. Wen Yu waved his hand to dismiss the servant boy. "Brother, you know Uncle's temperament. How could he have the mood to go into seclusion? At most, he will come out in one or two days. Moreover, tomorrow is Lord Li's sixtieth birthday. Uncle has always liked to join in on the festivities, so he will definitely come out tomorrow.
When the time comes, I will order people to keep an eye on him. As soon as he comes out, I will capture him and make him treat Miss Ji. "
"You really know Uncle."
"He is our uncle. I might not know him, but you should know him better. Don't worry, he will definitely come out tomorrow. "Wen Yu seemed to have already predicted tomorrow's events and drank his wine in relief.
Wen Che didn't say anything else.
Because of the rule that women were not allowed to attend the banquet, the servants of the villa sent the dishes to each courtyard.
Ji Yunshu received the dishes and thanked them. She had just sat down when Zhu Yao and Cai arrived at the door.
"Miss Ji." Zhu Yao's voice was very pleasant.
Ji Yunshu raised her head and saw Ji Yunshu standing in the doorway with Cai 'er holding a tray of food.
"Miss Zhu, what are you doing?"
"I felt bored eating in the house, so I came over to eat with you."
"Then come in."
Zhu Yao came in with a smile and asked Cai 'er to put down the dishes. She looked at the vegetable dishes on the table and frowned, "Why are you only eating these? So bland? How can those servants do things like this? "
Because of this, he felt indignant.
Ji Yunshu explained, "You misunderstood. The symptoms on my face haven't healed yet, so I can only eat these."
Zhu Yao looked at the veil covering her face and suddenly realized, "I was careless, I almost forgot."
"I'm fine."
"I brought some medicine for rashes. I'll have Cai 'er give it to you later."
"Many thanks." Ji Yunshu nodded lightly.
Zhu Yao looked at the dishes on the table. "Then let's hurry up and eat."
Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, a high-pitched voice suddenly came in from outside the door. "I'm eating!"
Hearing the voice, they saw the empress's younger sister, Qiu Shu, standing at the doorway with a group of girls. Each of them had an arrogant attitude, which made people feel like they were thorns. In the end, Zhu Yao was still a bit timid. When she saw them, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously shrank to the side. Her face was filled with visible shock, and her hands, which were placed on her knees, instinctively clenched together. Cai 'er, who was at her side, subconsciously looked at them.
Cai 'er, who was beside her, subconsciously stood in front of her to protect her mistress.
On the other hand, Ji Yunshu boldly met Qiu Shu's arrogant gaze and asked, "Do you need something?"
Qiu Shu tilted her body, the corners of her mouth hooked into a sinister and charming smile. She said, "Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?"
"Of course you can."
"So your relationship is so good that you're squeezing together to eat? Why didn't you call us? "
Ji Yunshu coldly replied, "I'm afraid that the place is too narrow to accommodate all of you."
A girl dressed in pink said, "This room is indeed small, and … there's a stench." As she spoke, the girl covered her nose with a handkerchief, revealing a disgusted expression.
Qiu Shu immediately pretended to reprimand her, "Ah Man, you can't be so rude. How can you say that a girl's room stinks?"
"Aiya, I said the wrong thing." The girl called Ah Man frowned and looked at Zhu Yao and Ji Yunshu. "I believe you two won't blame me for talking too much just now, right?"
Zhu Yao's eyes drooped. "No."
"Miss Zhu's bearing is still better."
Qiu Shu stared at the dishes on the table, the corner of her mouth hooked up. She said, "Since we're eating dinner together, why don't we all eat together? Li 'er, bring everyone's dishes here. We'll talk while we eat."
"Yes!"
Li 'er obeyed and went to bring everyone's dishes over.
One by one, they sat around the table.
Zhu Yao was obviously very scared. Her eyes kept looking at Ji Yunshu, wanting to ask her if she had any ideas.
But Ji Yunshu was calm and collected, as if she didn't care about what was happening in front of her.
Qiu Shu looked at Zhu Yao strangely. Then, she picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in Zhu Yao's bowl. However, her hand deliberately shook, and the greasy piece of meat fell on Zhu Yao's body.
"Ah!"
"Aiyo, I'm really sorry. Just now … my hand shook."
Zhu Yao's clean clothes were stained with grease, and it was very eye-catching.
The other girls all covered their mouths and laughed. Some of them immediately followed suit, picking up meat and putting it in Zhu Yao's bowl. Their hands also shook.
Piece after piece of meat fell on Zhu Yao's body!
So much so that … someone deliberately knocked over the teacup in front of her with their chopsticks, causing the tea to spill.
Zhu Yao was on the verge of collapse.
She directly stood up and lowered her head to look at her clothes, which were stained with grease and tea. She cut a sorry figure.
Many girls roared with laughter.
Ji Yunshu, who had been sitting calmly, got up and went to the inner room for a while. Then, she took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Zhu Yao's hand. She whispered in her ear, "Sit down."
Ah?
She was bullied to this extent, yet she still wanted her to sit down?
Should she continue to be humiliated?
However, she didn't know why, but from the first time she saw Ji Yunshu, she had an indescribable trust in her. Therefore, she endured the tears in her eyes and continued to sit down.
Qiu Shu said, "Zhu Yao, we just wanted to put food in your bowl. It wasn't intentional."
She bit her lip and said, "It's fine."
"It's best if you don't suggest it." Qiu Shu covered her mouth and laughed.
