Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Drunk

Bai Feichen looked at Xia Wenjin’s puffed-up face and laughed, “Xiao Jin, Uncle Bai is just worried. What if you get mischievous again and stand up Uncle Bai? I wouldn’t be able to explain it to your dad!”

Xia Wenjin rolled her eyes and said displeased, “Do I have that little credibility in front of Uncle Bai?”

Bai Feichen just smiled without responding.

This expression made Xia Wenjin want to roll her eyes even more. Do you have to be so blunt? Almost saying she had no credibility at all in front of them.

Yes, she was a little mischievous and liked to tease them a bit, but isn’t that just because kids don’t know any better?

Besides, it was all harmless little pranks that didn’t cause any real harm!

Xia Wenjin surrendered, “Alright, alright, I got it. Uncle Bai, don’t worry, if I say I won’t run, I won’t run! But you know I always enjoy a lively atmosphere. Let’s go eat.”

Only then did Bai Feichen smile and say, “Since you like a lively atmosphere, let’s have the brothers from the village join you for dinner!”

There were originally two tables in the courtyard, but Xia Wenjin’s table was brought over, making it three, filling up almost the entire courtyard.

Fortunately, it was the off-season for the inn, and there weren’t many guests. Bai Feichen directly booked all the rooms in the back courtyard, so there was no worry about disturbing other guests.

Xia Wenjin sat at the table and immediately called out, “Come, come, come, tonight we won’t go home until we’re drunk!”

Bai Feichen’s mouth twitched.

Not go home until drunk? With her drinking a small cup and them drinking large bowls of wine and eating meat in big bites, she’s talking about not going home until drunk?

As long as she’s happy!

Xia Wenjin wasn’t just talking; she really picked up a bowl of wine, lifted it with gusto, and said, “To all my uncles and brothers, I’ll drink first to show respect!”

With that, she guzzled down the bowl of wine.

Bai Feichen wanted to stop her, but it was too late. He watched helplessly as Xia Wenjin slumped over the table and fell asleep.

Ding Qi and Yuan Gang looked at each other, and Ding Qi scratched his head, “I thought the young lady’s drinking capacity had increased, with her capacity, how could she dare to challenge us to not go home until drunk?”

Yuan Gang laughed heartily, “This little girl, so determined! Remember tomorrow, don’t mention the young lady passing out drunk. Otherwise, there will be repercussions. The young lady will prank you until you cry for your fathers and mothers!”

He knows this all too well!

Bai Feichen sighed helplessly, shook his head, patted her shoulder, and guided her back to rest.

On the way, even with her eyes closed, Xia Wenjin was still mumbling in her sleep, “Come… not drunk… not… not going back…”

Bai Feichen closed the door and returned to the table. Yuan Gang said, “The young lady didn’t eat anything and passed out already; won’t she be hungry tonight?”

Ding Qi laughed, “When the young lady is drunk, she sleeps the whole night, won’t wake up.”

Nearby, Niu Gui said, “It’s good that the young lady is drunk; otherwise, who knows how she would prank us. At least tonight, we have peace of mind. We’ve never been to Wan’an County before, it’s a perfect chance to explore!”

…

For a moment, everyone was enthusiastically planning how to spend the evening.

Bai Feichen looked at the table full of dishes, shaking his head amusingly. He watched Xia Wenjin grow up, and everyone in the village knew about Xia Wenjin’s low alcohol tolerance and her love for drinking games.

The people of Haotian Village, seeing the young lady passed out, engaged in lively drinking games full of cheer, drinking to their hearts’ content. Dinner lasted for a full half-hour before everyone ate and drank to their fill and dispersed.

Yuan Gang called a waiter to clear the leftovers.

Having booked the entire backyard was convenient; once the waiter cleaned up and left, no one else would come to disturb them.

The night grew darker and quieter outside.

Xia Wenjin quickly sat up from the bed, sneaked to the window, and bent down.

She listened carefully; there was no noise outside. At this hour, those who should be sleeping went to bed, and those who wanted to play went out. She was “drunk,” so it should be the most relaxed moment.

She gently opened the window, being careful not to make any sound.

Looking at the open window, it was like seeing a happiness door wide open, with vast skies and the remote Jianghu beyond.

However, just as she put one foot on the windowsill, tried to poke her head out, and was about to jump down, her smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

Outside the window, Bai Feichen chuckled, “Xiao Jin, getting some fresh air after drinking too much?”

Xia Wenjin’s mouth twitched, and she said irritably, “I’m looking at the stars!”

“Looking at the stars is good, Uncle Bai will join you!”

“I don’t want to look anymore!” Xia Wenjin huffed sullenly and slammed the window shut.

How many times was this?

Three days ago, being blocked by Uncle Bai on the way back to Haotian Village, she was determined to escape. As long as she didn’t return to the mountain, Huangfu Yuxuan couldn’t possibly marry a hen holding a wedding.

But encountering Uncle Bai this time, all her escape plans were mercilessly thwarted.

Faced with real strength, little cleverness is just not enough.

So frustrated, so frustrated, Uncle Bai’s craftiness was too much. If she couldn’t find a chance to escape, she’d definitely be “escorted” back to Haotian Village to marry Huangfu Yuxuan.

Once forced to marry, Haotian Village would surely treat Huangfu Yuxuan as their son-in-law and provide him with business support, just like in the past life.

These past few days, through hints and probing, she found out that despicable little person knew she was unwilling, yet still stayed in the village as the son-in-law.

Does reliving a life mean walking the same old road again? What’s in her heart is not the same ending but the stars and the sea.

If she really couldn’t escape, the only choice is to strike first, and take down Huangfu Yuxuan before the wedding.

In the past life, she helped him gain the world, Haotian Village bled out for him, and nobody met a good end. Her fate was even worse, facing lethal poison and a flaming soap opera, with no remains. In this life, even if she killed him, it wouldn’t be unjust.

But this is the last resort; it can’t be done unless absolutely necessary. If she goes this path, Haotian Village would stand against the Court, and they would be under siege!

In the room, Xia Wenjin paced while recalling past life events.

After a moment, her eyes lit up.

How could she forget? Huangfu Yuxuan has a good father. Huangfu Jingchen’s resentment towards his Crown Prince father couldn’t be hidden. After all, if the Crown Prince hadn’t been so self-destructive, Huangfu Yuxuan wouldn’t have needed such efforts to climb to Dragon Court in the past life.

Based on timing, his Crown Prince father is about to give him a “surprise.”

Xia Wenjin couldn’t believe that Huangfu Yuxuan would continue living in Haotian Village.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xia Wenjin’s lips. No longer planning to escape, she went to bed, to sleep!

“Xia Wenjin, going back on your word, eating your words, do you have any shame?”

In the silent night, a furious shout broke out like thunder on flat ground, startling not only Xia Wenjin.
