The system asked me to chase his wife

Early in the morning, Xia Mang was awakened from her dream. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Qiao Yuandong standing nearby.

"Madam, why are you in my room?" Xia Mang looked at Qiao Yuandong in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Qiao Yuandong looked at her with a gloomy look in his eyes and asked, "Have you forgotten what happened yesterday?"

When Xia Mang heard her question, she tilted her head and thought about what happened last night. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be drunk, and then she had only one thought left.

The wine from the Duke’s Mansion is just great. You won’t have a hangover even if you drink too much!
Seeing her confused look, Qiao Yuandong sighed helplessly, took a bowl of medicine from the tray beside the table and handed it to her.

"Forget it, drink this. You drank too much and your stomach might be upset."

Xia Mang took the bowl faster than she thought and took a sip. It tasted sour and sweet with a hint of honey. It tasted pretty good, so she simply picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking a bowl of sweet soup, she felt that the stuffy feeling in her chest had dissipated a lot.

Qiao Yuandong reached out and took the bowl from her hand, then brought over a wet towel.

Before Xia Mang could react, Qiao Yuandong had already wiped her face with a handkerchief. The handkerchief was still warm, as if it had just been prepared.

After wiping his face, Xia Mang's confused mind became much clearer, and he belatedly realized something.

The lady seems to be serving her? !
This kind of reverse plot made Xia Mang feel a little happy. It was then that she realized that she was not in her room.

The step-out bed I was lying on looked so magnificent.

Isn't this the lady's room?
Wait, she slept with the lady?!

No, no, that's too ambiguous.

She climbed into the lady's bed?!

Doesn't seem right either.
When Xia Mang finally woke up a little, his brain froze again because of this discovery.

She looked at the clothes she was wearing calmly and found that she was only wearing a middle shirt and didn't know where her outer shirt was!
In just a short moment, countless possible scenarios played out in Xia Mang's mind, and her face turned pale and red.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" Qiao Yuandong couldn't help but speak with concern when he saw that she didn't look well.

To Xia Mang, who had just imagined the situation, these words were particularly meaningful.

Madam, what exactly are you asking about that makes you feel uncomfortable?

Xia Mang shook his head and nodded randomly. Qiao Yuandong was already dressed and ready to go out.

"Where are you going, Madam?" Xia Mang couldn't help but ask while pinching the corner of the quilt. She felt like a young wife asking where her husband was going.

Qiao Yuandong adjusted the pearls on his collar and said without turning his head, "I still have to go back to the palace. There is a family banquet in the palace today. You should have a good rest. I will let Rongzhu go with me."

"Oh, ma'am, please be careful on the road." Xia Mang said casually with concern.

Qiao Yuandong turned around, smiled at her and left.

After watching Qiao Yuandong leave, Xia Mang trembled and tapped the system: "Why am I sleeping in my wife's bed?"

Her tone was hesitant and uneasy, as if she had done something wrong.

There is no other reason, the scene in front of me really looks like someone slept with whom!

Xiang Xiukai said in a very casual tone: "You were drunk last night, and you held on to Dong Niang and refused to let go, and finally you lay down on her bed."

Xia Mang was shocked. So she was the one who took the initiative? !
She swallowed in disbelief, "So you're saying that I slept with my wife?"

"No, Dong Niang will give up the bed for you to sleep on."

"Oh." Xia Mang couldn't help but ask again: "I didn't say or do anything out of line, did I?"

Xiang Xiukai thought for a moment and said, "Does it count if you keep holding her hand and saying that you want to go back to see your mother?"

Xia Mang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Xiang Xiukai: "Oh, by the way, you asked Dong Niang in front of everyone last night if she had a lover."

Xia Mang: '???!'

Xiang Xiukai's words almost made Xia Mang's brain go blank. Could she be so brave when she was drunk?
Also, why would I ask my wife that kind of question?

After being shocked for a while, Xia Mang couldn't help but ask, "What did the lady say?"

Xiang Xiukai: 'She said yes.'

'Then what? '

'Then you all dispersed, and Dong Niang brought you back directly.'

The mystery was solved. Last night, I was drunk and took over my wife's bed. I drove her to sleep on the couch for the whole night.

As for the scenes that Xia Mang imagined in his mind, they actually did not happen at all.

She shook her head, thinking that she was frightened by Xiang Xiukai's words recently, which caused her to be under too much psychological pressure. She always felt that her boss wanted to get rid of her.

If Qiao Yuandong really had that idea, she would have succeeded last night.

Oh, Xia Mang, you are so vulgar. Your Madam is such a bright and beautiful person, but you think of her in such a dirty way!
After calming down, Xia Mang quickly got dressed and got out of bed. Looking at the messy bed she had made, she changed the sheets and quilt covers with a guilty conscience.

He Lan and He Huan finished their vacation and came back at noon. Seeing Xia Mang waiting in the house, they asked her how she had fun last night.

Xia Mang was drunk last night and had no memory of what happened, but according to the information provided by Xiang Xiukai, he was pretty excited last night.

When it was time for lunch, the lady sent a message asking Xia Mang to come over.

Xia Mang went to the main courtyard without knowing what was going on. When she entered the courtyard, she ran into an acquaintance. She greeted them as usual, but everyone who saw her looked as if they were about to smile, which made her confused.

When he met the old lady, the old lady was preparing to eat. Xia Mang saw two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table and couldn't help asking, "Is the prince coming over for lunch today?"

Unexpectedly, the lady said, "Ang'er is eating in his room. This is prepared for you. Let's sit down and have a meal together, grandparents and grandchildren."

"Ah, but." Xia Mang looked at the lady hesitantly.

How would I explain this if Ji Tong and the others saw it?

The lady waved her hand at her and said, "Don't worry, I told them that I want you to serve me dinner."

Xia Mang knew that the lady only thought she was Xiang Xiukai, so she wanted to keep her for dinner. It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, and she also felt that it was impolite to ask the lady to invite her again and again, so she sat down calmly and had a meal.

When the lady saw Xia Mang sitting down, she smiled lovingly and said, "Try this soup. I specially asked the kitchen to stew it. You used to love it the most."

The old lady was about to serve Xia Mang a bowl of soup, but Xia Mang was so scared that she immediately stood up and grabbed the bowl: "Grandma, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

Xia Mang quickly served himself a bowl of soup and prepared to serve a bowl for the lady as well.

Xiang Xiukai suddenly said: "Grandma doesn't want to drink that, you can serve her the black chicken soup with dried bamboo shoots."

Xia Mang readily turned the spoon in another direction, scooped some soup and handed it to the lady: "Grandma, drink this."

The lady smiled with relief: "It's amazing that you still remember my taste."

"You are my grandmother!" Xia Mang smiled, but she was sweating for herself in her heart.

Fortunately, Xiang Xiukai reminded him, otherwise the lady would have become suspicious.

The grandparents and grandchildren sat in the room and had a meal together affectionately. After the meal, the lady wanted to pull Xia Mang aside to talk.

Xia Mang could only stay and accompany the old man obediently. The lady leaned on the couch and watched Xia Mang massaging her legs, smiling kindly and gently.

She sighed, "In the past, you were so busy that you were away from home all day, and I rarely saw you. I never thought that you would become like this now, and I can enjoy your happiness."

Xia Mang said nothing, but just grinned foolishly. Xiang Xiukai didn't give her any hints, so she was afraid of being exposed and naturally didn't dare to say anything.

The lady didn't care whether Xia Mang replied or not, she just said to herself: "You and Dong Niang seem to be getting along better and better now, and I feel relieved."

Xia Mang: “!!!”

Madam, please explain clearly, what do you mean by getting better and better? !
Xia Mang opened and closed her mouth for a long time before she regained her voice: "Grandma, how did you know that?"

The lady laughed at her and said, "Silly child, who couldn't see that you two were in love last night?"

Xia Mang's face flushed all of a sudden: "Grandma, I, I don't have that tool, you used the wrong word."

The lady was stunned for a moment before she realized what Xia Mang meant and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It was only after seeing her smile that Xia Mang realized that his focus had gone awry.

Looking at the lady who was laughing so hard, Xia Mang felt like her face was burning, so she made up an excuse and fled from the lady's yard.

Xia Mang ran back in one breath, and was so tired that she was leaning against the wall to catch her breath, when Xiang Xiukai's teasing voice rang out: "You look particularly embarrassed when you ran away in a hurry."

Xia Mang: ".Go away, you still have the time to make sarcastic remarks here, aren't you afraid that I will really abduct your wife?"

"I've already said that I've let it go. As long as Dong Niang is willing, I have no objection."

Xia Mang couldn't hold it in any longer: "Why don't you ask me if I'm willing?"

Xiang Xiukai said meaningfully: "I think you might be willing."

"I'm talking nonsense!" Xia Mang's cheeks, which had finally cooled down, started to burn again. She put her hands on her waist and spoke righteously.

As a result, Xia Mang was ready to refute Xiang Xiukai's point of view, but this guy just smiled indifferently: "Whatever you say."

This sentence made Xia Mang feel like she was hitting cotton. Then she felt that if she kept arguing with Xiang Xiukai about this issue, it would make her look even more obvious, so she gave up the idea of ​​arguing with him.

There was a clan banquet in the palace today, and Qiao Yuandong didn't come back until 11:00 p.m., by which time Xia Mang had already gone to bed.

Early in the morning on the second day of the New Year, Qiao Yuandong packed up and went back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. He Lan and He Huan went with her.

Without having to serve a boss, Xia Mang lives a very comfortable life.

During the New Year's Day, there were delicious meals in the kitchen every day, and even the servants' meals were of a higher quality.

Xia Mang ate well and slept well for several days. After being nourished, his originally skinny body became round and plump. After the new year, he even grew taller.

The previous clothes were a bit tight, so Xia Mang took a bunch of clothes and went to find Rong Zhu. He Lan was not there, so she could only ask Rong Zhu to help her alter them.

"You are the only one among our maids who can't do needlework. Don't tell her you know me when you go out next time." Rongzhu teased her with a smile while measuring her.

"Huh? You've grown so much taller!"

Rongzhu was quite surprised when she stood next to Xia Mang and compared their heights. She found that the little girl who was only as tall as her ears before was almost as tall as her without her noticing.

Xia Mang said cheerfully, "It has to grow taller. You're already seventeen. If you don't grow taller, you won't be able to grow taller."

Rongzhu said while measuring, "The sleeves need to be altered, and the skirt needs to be loosened up a bit. Oh! There needs to be some loosening here too."

Seeing Rongzhu pointing at her chest, Xia Mang couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Really? Has he grown up?"

Rongzhu blushed and said to her, "You have no shame."

After she finished speaking, she saw Xia Mang grinning and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

"You are such a child, you have no rules. Yesterday you even dared to sleep in Madam's bed. It's because Madam dotes on you. If you were in someone else's house, you would have been beaten."

After Rongzhu finished speaking, Xia Mang, who had been smiling heartlessly before, suddenly blushed.

Looking at Xia Mang's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but reflect on whether she had said something that she shouldn't have said, and why she had embarrassed the child.

Xia Mang buried her head for a long time and said, "Good sister, don't tell anyone about this."

Rongzhu rubbed her head with amusement: "Don't worry, Madam told me not to tell anyone."

"Husband, did the madam tell you?" Xia Mang asked again like a tape recorder, in return Rong Zhu rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you deaf?"

Xia Mang was in a trance, and a vague idea came to her mind.

Qiao Yuandong asked Rongzhu to keep this a secret, wasn't it just to save Xia Mang's face?
A maid got drunk and slept in the mistress' bed. If this happened in other wealthy families, she would be beaten to death on the spot!

That is to say, Xiang Xiukai died early, otherwise she would not be able to explain it.

No! It was all because Xiang Xiukai died early that she had to sleep in Qiao Yuandong's bed for no apparent reason. Now Qiao Yuandong's reaction was like this again, and there was no way to explain it!
