Chapter 410 Drown One’s Sorrow in Wine (2/2)

He was such a fool! If she did not believe him, why would she make the effort to make peace? Would it not be better for her to leave them alone so that they both suffered?

Lin Mengya sighed softly to herself.

Where had that usually calm, wise and far-sighted Long Tianyu gone?

Long Tianyu stormed off in anger, descended the stairs and came to the door.

All the people who had witnessed how brutal he was when he was fighting, did not dare go near him lest the misfortune should befall them.

They were so afraid that where he looked, those people would be smiling at him, trembling.

One more step and he would have stepped out of the inn, but there was still nothing coming from upstairs.

Acting impetuously from his anger, Long Tianyu left the inn. He looked to the left, then to the right and realized that he did not know where he was headed.

He glanced at the second of the inn where Lin Mengya’s room as, but there was completely no movement. Seething, Long Tianyu sat down at the dumpling store just outside the inn.

“Dear guest, what would you like to eat?”

The owner of the store was a man over fifty years old.

Although this customer looked rather intimidating, he was after all in business so there was no reason for him to not serve Long Tianyu. He braced himself to walk up to Long Tianyu and take his order.

“Wine.”

The owner of the stall quickly went to get the wine. Although this customer looked intimidating, he definitely looked like a rich master.

He took a bottle of hot wine and laid it before his precious customer.

As the hot wine went down his throat, Long Tianyu felt a burning sensation rising from his elixir field.

Although the popular hot wine of the commoners could not be compared to vintage wines in the palace in terms of taste, its pungent taste reflected his current mood aptly.

After drinking a few cups of the wine, he was beginning to feel somewhat drunk.

Ever since he entered adulthood, he had never indulged himself in wine. Another reason was that he rarely experienced such immense fluctuation of emotions in his state of mind.

The pounding at his heart was increasingly violent.

The feeling of dissatisfaction, the feeling of being wronged and the pain of not being trusted had resulted in him having mixed emotions for the first time in his life.

Even his father, the emperor had once said that he had a heart of stone.

Why? He had never cared about losing in terms of these meaningless matters. Why did he feel such deep and intense pain when he heard Lin Mengya said that she believed Qiu Yu, instead of believing in him?

He was driven to distraction so much so that as he downed another cup of strong liquor, he did not realize that someone had sat down in front of him.

“Big Brother Yuan, are you still mad? Alas, listen, you and Brother Qiu Yu are cousins after all. There is no need to damage your relationship over some trivial matters, right?”

When Long Tianyu looked up, he saw Zhao Fei’s rough but smiley face.

That cursed imperial physician was by no means his cousin! Long Tianyu was about to refute him, but upon remembering Lin Mengya’s instruction to him, he swallowed his words.

If he had known this would happen, he would have come along with Lin Mengya in the first place.

All of this would not have happened if Qiu Yu was not around.

Apparently, Zhao Fei had misunderstood Long Tianyu. To Zhao Fei, this pair of cousins had very different characters, but among the group of men, they would both be the most outstanding youths.

However, what he found puzzling was that Yuan Lin was the youngest of the three cousins, and he was more like a child than a man.

Zhao Fei did not understand why Yuan Lin was the first to get married among the cousins.

As a man, he was no doubt envious of Yuan Lin. Not every man would have the good fortune of marrying such a beautiful and gentle wife.

Perhaps… As he glanced at Yuan Mei who was trying to drown his sorrows with wine, Zhao Fei remembered hearing Yuan Lin say that Yuan Mei used to fancy his wife.

Could it be because he was provoked when he saw his young cousin and his wife behaving intimately?

Zhao Fei took up a wine cup from the table and drank it. The burning feeling as the alcohol went down his throat made him squint.

“We are men of character. Having no wife is not a big deal, right? Big Brother Yuan, listen to me. She is already your younger brother’s wife. A man of character must learn to take things easy. If you’re still feeling upset, I’ll bring you around to have some fun. Try to put the other thoughts behind you.”

How could Zhao Fei ever understand that Long Tianyu could not tell him the truth?

In Lin Mengya’s heart, had she ever realized that she was already his wife?

There was no way Long Tianyu could reveal this to him. All he could do was drown his sorrows with wine. Soon, without realizing it, the table was filled with empty wine bottles.

“Burp… Boss, this is the money for the wine. Come, Big Brother Yuan, let’s go around seeing what’s happening in the town.”

Zhao Fei had a considerable capacity for liquor, but the wine was really quite strong.

Seeing that the sun was setting, a feeling of excitement rose in him and he pulled Long Tianyu along to see the town.

“Let’s go, go to see what is happening…”

Long Tianyu, who had never been drunk, had lost his rational mind to the alcohol. He and Zhao Fei put their arms over each other’s shoulders and headed towards the town center.

Little did the two men expect that Lin Mengya had seen all that they had done.

What had gotten into Long Tianyu that he spent the entire evening drinking with Zhao Fei?

Long Tianyu had never an alcoholic. Moreover, he had always been a man of discipline.

Whatever had gotten into him today? Not only did he get into a fight with Qiu Yu, he even drank like an alcoholic.

While she was still mad with him, Lin Mengya was still concerned if excessive alcohol would bring harm to his health.

“Master, how about you go downstairs and invite the prince up here. Even I could see that the prince was acting up out of jealousy.”

Baishao tried to comfort Lin Mengya gently while chuckling to herself.

She could clearly see that her master was concerned about the prince.
