Wanjin Lady

Chapter 302 Drunk
When everyone heard this, they all waved their hands and said, "Oh, this is simple... and doesn't require much brainpower..."

"Miss Wen finally rescued me from the Feihua Order. Normally, I have to listen to my husband reciting poems at home, but I didn't expect to have to recite poems at a sisters' gathering! This is great, it depends on luck! Whoever can't grab it will have to drink a penalty!"

The atmosphere in the water pavilion suddenly became lively.

But Wen Wan, the host, had bad luck. She always ended up last or frequently got the same number as others. Under a round of good-natured encouragement, Wen Wan could only drink glass after glass of wine.

During the banquet, Wen Wan drank so much that her cheeks turned red, and it seemed as if her eyes were also stained red.

Sun Lanzhi was worried about her and stopped everyone from forcing her to drink. "Sisters, please spare Sister Wen! Look at her face, it's as red as a monkey's butt! I'm afraid she can't handle the alcohol. If she drinks any more, she'll crawl under the table..."

Miss Luo refused to accept this. "She proposed this game herself. Why would she give up halfway through? Didn't she say she wanted to eat and drink well and have a great time?"

Wen Wan's body was swaying. She slammed the table and almost fell forward. Fortunately, Hongmei supported her in time.

Wen Wan, however, pushed Hongmei away and burped as she spoke, clearly unconscious. "Who said I want to give up? Come again!"

Hongmei held onto Wen Wan tightly and could only beg for mercy. "My ladies, my daughter just gave birth three months ago, and the doctor told her not to drink! Besides, she can't handle alcohol normally. If she gets drunk... I'm sure I'll be scolded when I get home!"

"Ouch!" Someone slapped his head. "I was so drunk that I forgot that Miss Wen just gave birth! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Quick! Help your mistress to lie down in the private room in the back."

Everyone hurriedly helped Wen Wan walk to the backyard, but Wen Wan refused to give in and grabbed the corner of Miss Luo's clothes, "Don't leave! Don't leave if you can! Let's drink tonight! Let me rest for a while!"

She pointed at everyone again and mumbled, "No one is allowed to leave! I've ordered a mutton hotpot tonight... tonight... and also invited the old couple who perform shadow puppetry! For those who didn't see 'The Legend of Jiaojiao' at the Lantern Festival that day, I'll make it up to you today!"

"Miss Sun, you must keep an eye on them... No one is allowed to step out of the Moon-Raising Pavilion today! Wait for me to recuperate for a while before we fight again!"

Sun Lanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sister Wen, you are drunk! I will help you go back to your room to rest!"

"I'm not drunk! I run a winery! How could I be drunk?"

"Don't leave!"

"Hongmei, hurry up, go get the shopkeeper to close the front and back doors of Lanyue Pavilion... None of the young ladies who came here today... are allowed to leave!"

The young ladies in the pavilion couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard Wen Wan's boastful words. "This Miss Wen... just now she said she couldn't hold her liquor, and now she's saying she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk! It shows she's really drunk!"

"Humph, who made her act so arrogant at the banquet just now, saying that women from Bozhou are all paper tigers, but their true colors are revealed at the table! Now you know how powerful we paper tigers are, right?!"

"Oh, don't tell me, I also think this Ruiguo syrup is delicious, but it has a very strong aftertaste. I'm also weak in the hands and feet now..."

"Didn't Miss Wen say that she had prepared rooms for everyone? Sister Zheng, you should go lie down too. We still have to watch a play and eat mutton hotpot tonight!"

Someone said with a smile: "You can't leave. Miss Wen will be angry if you leave!"

"She's so drunk, I'm afraid she won't wake up until night!"

Hongmei and Sun Lanzhi escorted Wen Wan to a private room in the back. Sun Lanzhi wanted to stay and take care of Hongmei, but unfortunately, she was really drunk. Hongmei told Sun Lanzhi, "Sister, please help your daughter go to the next room to rest for a while. I'll take care of her here. Oh, and we can ask the shopkeeper to make some hangover soup later. Although the Ruiguo syrup tastes mellow and sweet, it has a strong aftertaste. I'm afraid you'll have a headache when you wake up."

As they were talking, Sun Lanzhi was also helped down by the maid.

The room suddenly became quiet and refreshing.

Hongmei helped Wenwan to the bedside and considerately closed the door. Turning around, she saw that Wenwan, who had been lying unconscious on the bed, was now sitting up. Seeing that Wenwan was fully conscious, Hongmei's eyelids twitched. "Miss—"

Wen Wan had already taken off her outer shirt, revealing the narrow tights underneath. Her cheeks were flushed suspiciously, but she deftly pulled all her long hair up high with her hands and feet.

"I'm going out for a bit and will be back in about an hour and a half. In the meantime, I need you to block this door for me. Even if the house is on fire, no one will be allowed to enter. Can you do that?"

Seeing Wen Wan's solemn expression, Hongmei's throat tensed up. She nodded blankly and repeated, "No one can open the door. No one can discover the girl's whereabouts."

Wen Wan tied up her hair, folded the cotton wool in an orderly manner, and covered it with the quilt. At first glance, it looked like Wen Wan was still lying on the bed.

Wen Wan patted the cotton wool while slowly instructing, "I'll be back soon. When you hear any noise, use the rope to pull me out of the water. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

I don’t understand!

So scary!

Hongmei's heart was beating fast. She wanted to ask her daughter what she was doing, but she was afraid of the answer, so she didn't dare to ask. She just stared at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan smiled faintly and patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid."

The young lady's pupils are dim.

Hongmei was so nervous that her hands and feet were shaking, but Wenwan had a nonchalant smile on her face.

"The girls of our Wen family...are not afraid of trouble!"

Hongmei's eyes instantly became resolute, "Don't worry, young lady. I will protect you today!"

But Hongmei never expected that Wen Wan did not leave through the back door, but pushed open the window of the private room facing the lake, jumped into the water, as light and graceful as a fish into the water, and disappeared in a moment.

Hongmei covered her mouth nervously, not daring to make a sound.

Although I vaguely sensed that the girl was going to make a big move today, but...how could she be so careless about herself!

She had just given birth and was not even out of the confinement period yet, yet she went straight into the water like that. She really didn't take care of herself!

and also.

The lake looks like a stagnant body of water, with buildings all around it. How could the girl disappear so suddenly?

Half an hour later, Wen Wan emerged from the pond in the backyard of Tianxian Building somewhere in the city.

Thanks to Wei Zheng's city defense map, she had waded through this waterway once yesterday. The underground rivers of the entire city of Bozhou are like the branches of a big tree. Although hidden underground and unable to see the sun, the water system is interconnected.

It takes at least an hour to get from Lanyue Pavilion to Tianxian Tower by land.

But if you take the underground waterway, pass through several culverts that are above the waist, and go through the winding underground river, you can arrive in half an hour at most.

Wen Wan climbed out of the waterside pavilion of Tianxian Tower. It was afternoon, there were few customers in the store, and the backyard was even less guarded.
