Chapter 957 - Punishing oneself with three cups (2/2)

“This…I…”He scratched his head, lowering his head in bewilderment.

Over there, Feng Jiu had a disaffected smile. “I’m sorry, everyone.” She walked out from their midst and looked at Ning Lang. “Aren’t we invited for a banquet tonight?”

“That…what about taking you all to dine outside?” He suggested, intending to apologize to her once they’re leaving.

“There’s no need. Let’s just eat here! But, have the dishes served. Duan Ye yelled that he was hungry earlier. ” She smiled. Looking at Tranquil City’s ruler couple, she cupped her wrists in a salute. “City ruler, Madam.”

“Haha, Ghost Doctor, don’t be too courteous. Please, please sit down.” The city ruler asked her to come and sit.

“My name is Feng Jiu. City ruler can call me Feng Jiu.” She sat down with Duan Ye. The others also took their seats.

“Steward, tell them to serve food. Go to the wine cellar and take out my treasured jar of spirit wine” The city ruler commanded.

“Yes.” The steward turned away and left.

“Everyone, my son had done a deplorable thing. I, Ning, will punish myself with three cups and compensate each of you.”

While speaking, he first poured three cups of wine to drink, then faced Feng Jiu. “My son was a moneygrubber ever since he was young and he would not listen to me. Tonight, he offended Young Master Feng. Please don’t blame him. Don’t worry about this boy. I’ll teach him a lesson later.”
