le, didn’t you pass out from drinking too much?”

Zheng Dan blushed.
She thought to herself, Thank goodness we stopped quickly! Otherwise, her father-in-law would see the two of them together.
She’d die from embarrassment then.

Sang Hong waved his hand and said, “I’m not drunk, so let’s keep drinking.”

Zu An looked around and asked, “Huh? Where is little sister Qien?”

“She doesn’t want to drink with us crude men, so she’s already returned to her room,” Sang Hong said in an unconcerned way.
He filled Zu An’s cup all the way again.

Zu An quickly said, “I really can’t drink anymore, or else I won’t even be able to walk anymore later.”

With his cultivation, he could quickly get rid of his intoxication by using ki.
He wouldn’t get drunk at all.
But what meaning would there be left in drinking if he did that? That was why most cultivators wouldn’t do such a thing while drinking, and would instead let the alcohol stimulate them to give them that nice, tipsy feeling.

Sang Hong laughed and said, “It’s already late, and it’s not too appropriate for you to return.
Why don’t you just stay the night in the manor, as long as you don’t find the place too shabby?”

Zu An though to himself, That’s exactly what I had in mind too. “Then I’ll gladly accept.” He glanced over at Zheng Dan from time to time while talking.

Zheng Dan knew what he was implying.
Her cheeks immediately flushed red.
Sang Qien wasn’t present anymore, so it was a bit awkward for her to remain present.
As such, she took the chance to leave.

Zu An didn’t really mind either, and told her to wait for him through ki.

Zheng Dan’s departing figure staggered.
Then, her pace became faster and faster.
When she returned to the courtyard, she could only think about Zu An’s provocative expression. That dummy is getting braver and braver! He actually said that in front of my father-in-law…

Hm? Why are there no servants in the courtyard? She was about to push open the door when the center of her back suddenly went numb.
Then, she fainted.

Auntie Mu caught her.
She sighed and carried Zheng Dan to Sang Qien’s room, placing her on the bed and covering her up.

…

Meanwhile, Sang Hong continued to pressure Zu An to drink.
They talked about everything from the layout of the court to the families of many different officials.

These were all things one wouldn’t hear outside, as they’d easily offend people, and even the emperor himself might be unhappy.
Judging from the sincerity in the other party’s voice, Zu An knew that Sang Hong was really treating him as one of his own, so he drank even more cheerfully.

After they drank for a long time, Sang Hong completely collapsed.
Zu An’s eyes were growing blurry too.
He thought to himself, This old fella really can drink; he actually drank me to this state!

A middle-aged woman slowly walked forward then.
When she saw Sang Hong’s condition, she said to Zu An, “Young master Zu, I’ll bring you to your place of rest.”

“I don’t dare to trouble the madam.” Zu An had already been to the Sang clan several times, so he naturally recognized this Auntie Mu, who was practically the second master of the clan.

“The young master is too polite.
This is something I should do.” A hint of happiness appeared between Auntie Mu’s brows when she heard the word ‘madam’.
She thought to herself, This young man is handsome, and he knows how to speak well too. She immediately developed a good impression of him.
She personally led him to a side room after saying, “Young master, please rest well.
I won’t disturb you anymore.” Afterward, she left.

Zu An was confused. Couldn't a random maid take care of all of this? Why did she need to personally see me here? But the effects of alcohol were starting to overpower him.
He didn’t think too much about it and just treated it as extra consideration.
He decided to just enter the room so Auntie Mu would think he had gone in for the night.
After she left, he left through a window and snuck over to Zheng Dan’s room.

His head was throbbing a bit along the way, and the roads in front of him even seemed to have multiplied.
He smacked his own head a few times. Why is the Sang clan’s alcohol so strong? But all of his blood was rushing downward at the moment, so he didn’t have the time to think about such minor abnormalities.

He swiftly arrived at Zheng Dan’s room and gently pressed against the window.
Sure enough, it wasn’t completely shut.
He was extremely happy to see that Dandan had left an entrance open for him after all.

He quietly went inside.
There were no lights inside the room, and he saw that Zheng Dan was sleeping in bed.
Her figure looked even more graceful and gentle through the curtains.

Zu An didn’t know whether it was because of the feeling of alcohol or something else, but his body felt as if it were burning up.
How could he still control himself? He quickly stripped down and made his way into the covers.
“Dandan, you must’ve been waiting for a long time already…”
