Chapter 51 - 51: Let’s Drink First

Translator: 549690339

Old Xie Furen’s birthday banquet was held in Chun Zai Hall, and to avoid the little ladies being reserved, they were placed alone in Tingfcng Courtyard. This courtyard was not far from Spring Hall. Outside the courtyard was a bamboo forest, very quiet and elegant.

The young ladies sat on the ground, each with a table in front of them. There were more than ten plates of cold and hot dishes on it.

As most of them were friends, they specially served light fruit wine and chatted in small groups. If it was in the past, there would have been people who started drinking games and playing poetry. It was all because of Xiao Baoxin’s display of power that the awkward atmosphere had spread to this moment.

Xie Wan was the eldest daughter of the eldest branch and was tied with Xie Shan of the third branch. On the left and right were Xie Chan and Xie Juan, and behind them were the tables on both sides.

Xie Wan and Xiao Baoxin had a pleasant conversation, so she arranged for Xiao Baozhu and his sisters to sit at the head of the table.

Xiao Jing ‘ai followed Xiao Baoxin. She didn’t offend him, but she suffered along the way. Finally, she could use Xiao Baoxin to get close to Xie Wan. Xiao Jing ‘ai spared no effort to show her goodwill.

However, Xie Wan was still indifferent, making her feel as powerless as if her fist had hit a cotton flower.

“Lady Xiao, I apologize for being rude to you just now.”

Halfway through the meal, Yuan Jiuniang came over with two cups of fruit wine and handed one to Xiao Baoxin.’”‘My mother taught me a lesson. I shouldn’t have said anything without thinking. Please forgive me and accept my apology.”

The ladies looked over one after another. They did not see the conflict between the two on the spot, but they had heard about it.

Did the Xiao family’s eldest daughter beat him into submission?

There was curiosity, doubt, and schadenfreude in his eyes.

For a moment, Xiao Baoxin became the center of attention.

In fact, she had always been the center of attention. From the beginning of the banquet, people had been sizing her up openly and secretly.

Xiao Baoxin smiled faintly.” I accept your apology, but I won’t drink. I can’t handle alcohoL””He mercilessly gave Yuan Jiuniang a soft nail, without even standing up to deal with it.

Yuan Jiuniang’s expression changed, and she gritted her teeth. If she hadn’t discussed with Shi Ning to teach Xiao Baoxin a lesson, she would have lowered herself and embarrassed herself in front of these ladies.

When Xiao Baoxin made a fool of himself, he would know how powerful she was!

“Lady Xiao, you’re too rude. After all, she’ll be your aunt in the future.”Xie Chan smiled. “It’s just a cup of wine.”

“That’s right, you’re slapping me in the face.”

“Look at Jiuniang holding the wine.”

Shi Ning County Master sneered.” Xiao Baoxin, you really don’t know how to appreciate favors. The Yuan family has been in power for generations, and all of you here are noble ladies. Don’t you have the qualifications to treat you to a drink?”

“Jiuniang is your future aunt. What good will it do to others and yourself if you embarrass her like this?”

“That’s not right. My sister accepted Yuan Jiuniang’s apology without hesitation. If she can’t drink, then she won’t drink.”Xiao Miaorong was halfway through her pancake when she heard that something was wrong.

“Don’t go too far.”

She thought for a moment and added,”I can’t stop my sister from getting angry.””

In other words, don’t blame me for not stopping her when she beats you up later. It’s your own fault.

Just now, Yuan Jiuniang was thrown to the ground because she didn’t speak properly. Why didn’t she learn her lesson? Why did she have to let her drink?

Did she want to see her sister go crazy after drinking too much? When the time came, he would beat them up.

Xiao Jing ‘ai’s head was almost stuck in the plate.

By coming to the Xie Manor, he had offended all the people he could offend, wanted to offend, and did not want to offend.

After she was reborn, she did not get any opportunities at all and ended up hanging out with Xiao Baoxin everywhere.

Yuan Jiuniang clearly had the advantage in numbers, but why did she feel that they would be the ones at a disadvantage?

In the past, she thought that Xiao Baoxin had also been reborn, which was why he went against her everywhere and suppressed her in all kinds of ways. But now, she wasn’t so sure.

He didn’t know where he had eaten the gunpowder, but he had to fight back.

This was not like Xiao Baoxin’s style in his previous life.

Could it be that the core had changed inside, or…Was he possessed?

“What do you mean? Do you think that our Xie residence is easy to bully? Do you have to fight in the Xie residence for no reason?”Xie Shan frowned.” I think some people just refuse a toast only to drink the hard way. If you cause trouble again, don’t blame me for hiring the guards!”

Fan Fourth Lady sipped her wine lightly, her face slightly flushed. “Since you’re so unsociable, don’t get involved with us in the future.”

“Lady Xiao, then I’ll drink first.”Yuan Jiuniang had already reached her limit. When Xiao Baoxin was being ridiculed by everyone, how could she not be at the center of the storm, being looked down upon by others?

She picked up the wine cup in her left hand and was about to drink it in one gulp when Xiao Baoxin suddenly said,

“Wait a minute.”

Xiao Baoxin slowly stood up and walked around the table to stand in front of Yuan Jiuniang. He raised a bright smile, causing Yuan Jiuniang to almost instantly lose her mind.

Then, he saw that the wine cup in his left hand had already reached Xiao Baoxin’s hand. Xiao Baoxin revealed his long and smooth neck and raised his head to drink it in one gulp.

“It’s your turn.” she said, her red lips looking unusually demonic due to the purple color of the wine.

With the formation of these noble ladies, it seemed that if she did not drink this wine, they would collectively come up and eat her. Who would believe that there was nothing in the wine?

Yuan Jiuniang’s heart skipped a beat.” I-”

Before she could say no, Xiao Baoxin had already made a move. He snatched the wine cup from her right hand. Before she could even come back to her senses, she felt a pain in her chin. Xiao Baoxin had already pinched her chin and poured the wine into her mouth with his right hand.

” Ahhhhhh, I don’t want to poop in my clothes!’

I shouldn’t have believed Shi Ning’s words!

Xiao Baoxin sneered. He had actually put something that could cause diarrhea in the wine. How sinister.

It was also because Xiao Baoxin was merciful. Yuan Jiuniang struggled and pushed twice before she let go. Even so, more than half of the wine was poured in.

Yuan Jiuniang leaned over, her hands on her legs. At this time, she didn’t have the time to care about her appearance. She wanted to bite Xiao Baoxin to death, but she thought that she was no match for him and gave up.

He wanted to vomit, but Xiao Baoxin had poured it down so much that he only let go after hearing her gulp down two mouthfuls.

“Xiao Baoxin, you are too much!” Yuan Jiuniang ran out of the house in exasperation. She had to quickly get someone to prepare her clothes. Although she didn’t personally see them put croton, it sounded very scary, so she was afraid that they put a lot of croton.

She had already failed to steal the chicken and suffered a loss. She did not want to perform on the spot.

Xiao Baoxin:” I was the one who said that I couldn’t hold my liquor, but you all insisted that I drink it. I drank it, but you still said that I was bullying you. Who’s bullying who? You guys are talking about others, right?”

She glanced at all the ladies present from the corner of her eyes, and her gaze was filled with a domineering aura.

“Yuan Jiuniang has already drunk it. Who else wants to drink with me?”

Those who knew that it had been drugged did not dare to come forward. Those who did not know also felt that it was inappropriate to look at this situation. They all looked away and went to find their good wives to whisper. It was as if nothing had happened.

Xie Shan snorted coldly. They were all useless things. They had set a trap for others and yet they had fallen into it.

He shouldn’t have had any expectations for these people.

“Do you think you have so much face that everyone wants to drink with you?”

Xiao Baoxin laughed.” It’s fine if you don’t want to drink it. Perhaps the Ning County Head wants to?”

The guilty Shi Ning County Lord’s back stiffened, and his face stiffened even more.

“I don’t want to!”
