Chapter 215: Lies (3) (2/2)

The manservant had gone to fetch the ten year old Yudongchun wine which Marquis Weiyuan had specially brought over.

Who could have thought that the food would be completely decimated before the wine had even reached the table?

Heir Zheng looked around the group of gentlemen and said, “Just serve the wine!”

Marquis Weiyuan and Lord Ge nodded. They had already filled their bellies, so the wine wouldn’t hurt them. Since they had had such a great meal, they were starting to have the interest to drink some wine.

He Changqi nodded and ordered the manservant to call in two maidservants to clear out the empty dishes. He then had the main kitchen send out some food to have with the wine, so that they could all drink their fill.

After tasting those amazing delicacies, they didn’t have any appetite from looking at those normal dishes. They even felt a little depressed.

The men had the feeling that their days were going to be rough from now on… As the saying went, it’s easy for the frugal to become extravagant, but it’s hard to reverse the process. After having such delectable gourmet food, it was going to be hard to swallow down their usual fare.

With those thoughts in their head, all of them drank more than usual to drown out those depressing thoughts. The ten year Yudongchun was considered one of the strongest spirits in the capital and packed a punch. Furthemore, the men couldn’t bring themselves to eat the food that the main kitchen had sent over, so they ended up drinking even more.

After an hour, even He Changqi, who usually had a great tolerance for alcohol, was drunk and incoherent, let alone the rest.

When the manservant saw the state that the men were in, he could only order some servants to bring the gentlemen to rest in some rooms.

The seemingly woozy Xiao Bojian was brought to a private room by an average-looking manservant. Once they were alone, those originally misty eyes abruptly awakened. His gaze was sober and calm, completely lacking any sign of his earlier drunkenness.

The average-looking manservant, who was One in disguise, bowed to his master. “Master, you’re not drunk?”

Xiao Bojian made a vague sound in reply before rubbing his temples. “Follow me to the inner court of the Jing’an Estate. Leave Nineteen here to guard this place.”
