Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

"What happened?" Pei Zeyu asked, his voice as gentle as ever.

Granny Tian and Xiao Zhu pulled Liu Wenying to bow.

"Reporting to Second Master, everyone is very happy today because of the New Year. However, Nurse Liu accidentally drank some wine. She has a low alcohol tolerance and is a little drunk. We are taking her back to rest."

Pei Zeyu glanced at Liu Wenying, who was clearly quite drunk, then at the child in Xiaozhu's arms, and said in a low voice, "Afu, go and lend a hand."

"Thank you for your consideration, Second Master!" Granny Tian said gratefully.

However, before Afu could take it, another voice suddenly interrupted from the end of the corridor.

"Oh, Second Brother, what a coincidence! It's such a small matter as sending the servants home; why bother your people?"

Third Master Pei Yaojun also emerged from the family banquet, still dressed in a flamboyant crimson brocade robe, which perfectly matched the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

He drank quite a bit at the banquet, his face flushed with alcohol, but his eyes were bright.

Pei Yaojun walked over in a few steps, blocking Afu's way, and said to Pei Zeyu, "Helping people is something I can do with my men. Second brother, you're busy, please go back first."

After saying that, he gestured with his chin to his servant, indicating that he would take Liu Wenying from him.

Granny Tian and Xiao Zhu were on tenterhooks.

How did I end up running into Third Master? Considering his usual reputation, when did he become so enthusiastic?

Pei Zeyu frowned; he had always been too lazy to bother with the trivial matters of his servants.

"what ever."

Having said that, he was about to leave with his men, clearly not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

Just then, Liu Wenying, who was being supported by Granny Tian, ​​could no longer suppress the churning feeling in her stomach.

She suddenly broke free from Granny Tian's hand, bent over, and vomited.

As luck would have it, Pei Yaojun, in an attempt to show his enthusiasm, stood not far from her.

The pool of filth, a mixture of alcohol and food scraps, sprayed precisely onto his brand-new deerskin boots.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and everyone was stunned.

Granny Tian and Xiao Zhu were dumbfounded, terrified out of their wits!

Pei Zeyu paused, turned around and glanced back, his handsome brows furrowed tightly.

He was extremely fastidious about cleanliness; even glancing at something made his eyes dirty, so he quickly hurried away.

And the victim, Pei Yaojun...

He looked down at the foul-smelling stain on his boot, his expression shifting unpredictably in the lantern light.

Shock, disbelief.

Finally, it turned into an uncontrollable rage, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

After vomiting, Liu Wenying seemed to feel a little better. She groggily looked up and caught a glimpse of that aloof and otherworldly figure in front of her.

She mumbled indistinctly, "Second...Second Master...Greetings to Second Master."

Why do I always have bad luck whenever I run into Pei Zeyu?

Pei Yaojun's face darkened further upon hearing this. She was so drunk that she recognized her second brother, but she didn't recognize him, the one who had been vomited on in her boot?!

"Good...very good!" Pei Yaojun squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

He ignored Granny Tian and Xiao Zhu, and said sternly, "You two take the child away and get out of here!"

"Third Master..." Granny Tian still wanted to plead for him.

"If you want her to be punished lightly, then get out of here."

Seeing the Third Master's murderous look, Granny Tian knew that pleading further would be useless and might only provoke him.

She gritted her teeth and gave Xiaozhu a wink.

Xiao Zhu understood, picked up Luo Luo, and the two left, looking back every few steps.

The most urgent task is to settle the child in first, and then seek rescue.

The two took Luo Luo back to her room. Xiao Zhu was filled with worry. "Granny Tian, ​​what should we do?"

"Wenying has always been highly regarded by the First Madam. I'll try to ask her for help."

"Then I'll go with you!"

"No, you watch the child, I'll go by myself."

Granny Tian made up her mind that if anyone had to be punished, she would be the only one punished, and Xiao Zhu would not be involved.

When Granny Tian arrived at Tinglan Courtyard, she was told that the master and mistress had drunk quite a bit at the family banquet and had already retired, and they wouldn't let her in no matter what.

Granny Tian was extremely anxious outside the courtyard, but there was nothing she could do.

Meanwhile, Pei Yaojun took the completely drunk Liu Wenying back to his residence, Zhaolin Courtyard.

When the maids and servants on duty in the courtyard saw the Third Master return with a livid face and disheveled appearance, dragging a clearly drunk woman back, they all lowered their heads and remained silent, as if trembling with fear.

"Prepare hot water! Call two quick-witted old women over!"

Pei Yaojun threw Liu Wenying onto the floor covered with a thick carpet, and then irritably took off his boots, which were covered in filth, and told his servants to burn them.

Soon, two rough-looking old women, following Pei Yaojun's orders, helped the dazed Liu Wenying to a side room to tidy up.

Pei Yaojun also went to the bathhouse to bathe and change clothes, washing away the smell of alcohol and the nauseating filth.

He changed into a crimson casual home dress, the belt around his waist loose, his chest half-open, and his hair, casually draped over his shoulders, was still damp.

Entering the main house, feeling refreshed and moist, Pei Yaojun glanced around casually before his gaze settled on the daybed.

Liu Wenying has been settled there by the old women.

She curled up on her side on the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

Only two dim yellow gauze lamps were lit in the room, the light so soft and hazy that it made her skin appear even whiter.

Her slightly damp black hair curled and clung to her cheeks; the effects of the alcohol hadn't worn off, and her cheeks were flushed a rosy pink.

Her curled-up posture was completely unguarded, like a cat that had put away all its claws and was sleeping soundly.

The vivid and sensual scene silently extinguished most of the anger in Pei Yaojun's chest.

Instead, a surge of uncontrollable excitement and a dry mouth followed.

He had to admit that this woman... was indeed quite attractive.

Especially now, having shed her usual respectfulness and guardedness, revealing a pure, innocent, and vulnerable demeanor, she is even more captivating.

But the feeling of being moved is only fleeting.

He hadn't forgotten that just now, she recognized her second brother but not him.

Besides, a few days ago at the temple, he asked her to come to the meditation room at night, and she dared not to come.

With new and old grievances intertwined, let's settle them properly tonight.

He moved closer to the daybed, reached out and pinched Liu Wenying's chin, forcing her to tilt her head back.

She was still asleep, her breathing was light and even, her red lips were slightly parted, and her breath carried a hint of sweet wine.

"Sleeping so soundly?"

Pei Yaojun increased the force of his blows.

Liu Wenying frowned uncomfortably in her sleep and hummed indistinctly.

Her completely oblivious appearance fueled Pei Yaojun's rage.

"It seems I've been too lenient with you. I must punish you properly tonight so you'll learn your lesson."

Pei Yaojun made a harsh statement, not caring whether the other party understood it or not. He had finally vented his anger and felt much better. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would have gotten sick from anger.

In reality, Pei Yaojun's hand holding her chin and his breath so close to her ear were twisted by Liu Wenying's drunken senses into restless writhing and whimpering.

"Luo Luo, be good, stop crying, Mommy's here..."

She instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around the "source of the trouble" that was right in front of her, then pulled it tightly into her embrace.
