After sharing a body with her husband

Upon hearing Xie Ruoqiu's oath in public, a hint of hesitation flashed across Old Madam Wei's face.

It wasn't that I truly believed her vow.

She just didn't believe Xie Ruoqiu would do something so stupid as to publicly poison Shang Lingjun under her real name, unless she didn't want to live anymore.

Old Madam Wei glanced at Shang Lingjun and saw that her face was flushed, her eyes were closed quietly, and she did not appear to be in pain.

She walked over with a puzzled look in her eyes and reached out to touch Shang Lingjun's forehead and cheeks.

Shang Lingjun's cheeks were burning hot, turning red from her face to her neck. Her cheeks were like drunken peaches, and her breathing was steady as if she were asleep.

Old Madam Wei frowned slightly. It didn't seem like poisoning, but rather...

Unsure, she picked up the pot of plum drink again, sniffed it, and, finding nothing unusual, poured it into a cup, intending to try it out.

This action startled Murong and the surrounding noblewomen.

"Mother-in-law!"

"Old Madam!"

Old Madam Wei raised her hand and took a small sip. The sweet plum drink had a hint of alcohol in it.

After verification, Old Madam Wei understood.

"Don't worry, everyone. This stuff isn't poisonous. It's just that my youngest daughter-in-law mistakenly drank plum wine instead of plum drink and fell asleep after getting drunk."

These words gave everyone a false alarm.

"That's terrifying! No wonder someone got poisoned at this perfectly normal banquet!"

"It scared us so much, thankfully it was just alcohol."

Murong asked in confusion:

"There's no wine at the women's banquet, so how can there be wine here?"

She looked in Xie Ruoqiu's direction; this wine was a gift from Xie Ruoqiu.

Xie Ruoqiu feigned annoyance and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Oh dear! What a blunder! I meant to bring a few jugs of plum drinks, but I accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle and brought plum wine instead. It just so happens to have come to you, Grandmother. My bad, my bad!"

Old Madam Wei didn't say anything. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she shook her head as if in helplessness, saying:

"Please excuse me, everyone. Ati has never drunk alcohol before. She suddenly drank a glass and her body felt unwell. She thought she had been poisoned. Please don't laugh at her when she wakes up."

The group exchanged glances and chuckled, lightening the atmosphere considerably before returning to their seats.

After the crowd dispersed, Old Madam Wei turned her gaze to Xie Ruoqiu.

"You can even grab the wrong drink. You'll have to apologize to your aunt when she wakes up."

This was done in front of outsiders, so it wasn't really blaming her, just a playful rebuke to put an end to this little incident.

"Yes, yes... Grandmother is right!"

Xie Ruoqiu was extremely embarrassed, and in her heart she had cursed Shang Lingjun's ancestors eight hundred times over!

She never imagined that Shang Lingjun would feel unwell after drinking plum wine and actually shout that she was poisoned!

Is she mentally ill?

Never drunk alcohol before?

This blunder today really embarrassed her!

At this moment, Song Yunyi arrived late, gracefully bowing.

"Yunyi greets the Old Madam and all the elders... What's going on? Wait, why is Auntie asleep?"

Her expression was rather blank.

"Sixth Miss Song is here. It's nothing, Lingjun just drank some plum wine by mistake and is feeling a little sleepy," Murong greeted her.

"Oh, this..."

Song Yunyi glanced at the teapot on the table, realizing it belonged to the Song family, then turned to Xie Ruoqiu and clicked her tongue in amazement:

"Sister-in-law, we took the wrong one!"

She looked at Old Madam Wei with remorse and quickly bowed in apology.

"Please forgive me, Madam! It was all the servants' carelessness that they mistakenly brought plum wine instead of plum drink. It's also my fault for not checking properly before coming."

Upon seeing Song Yunyi, Old Madam Wei's expression softened somewhat, and she personally helped Song Yunyi up.

"Good child, it's not your fault."

Old Madam Wei then instructed Liang Mama and the others,

"Help Ati to the back room to rest first."

After Shang Lingjun left, Song Yunyi followed Old Madam Wei's hand and sat down beside her to chat.

"Grandma, are you feeling alright?"

Song Yunyi spoke softly.

Old Madam Wei patted her hand with a smile, "She's doing well. I just found a new wife for Yan-ge'er, so I can say that I've finally put my mind at ease."

Song Yunyi's eyes flickered slightly, and she praised:

"I was so happy to see my aunt today. Congratulations to the old lady..."

Over here, Song Yunyi chatted happily with Old Madam Wei as if she were meeting an elder of her family.

Sitting in the corner, Xie Ruoqiu absentmindedly fanned herself, unable to get a word in edgewise.

It doesn't matter if she stumbles; she still has a backup plan. Could it be that she'll take advantage of this perfect opportunity—a spring banquet—to avenge her third brother and mother?

……

Over there, Shang Lingjun was fast asleep. She left behind a final sentence and gave Huo Chuan control of her body.

[Sleeping through the entire banquet is so rude, Chuan Chuan! Walk more gracefully, don't run...]

Shang Lingjun's voice grew softer and softer. The next second, Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) opened his eyes. He blinked in surprise and then sat up abruptly.

He felt a little dizzy, but this had no effect on Huo Chuan. He was not the kind of person who could get drunk by a glass of plum wine.

【okay! 】

Huo Chuan answered her in his heart, "Just you wait and see."

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. After drinking the tea, the slight dizziness and discomfort disappeared immediately, and he was back to normal.

"Is Madam awake?"

Just as Mrs. Liang was about to go find a blanket, she turned around and saw Madam standing at the table drinking tea.

"It's nothing, I don't know why I suddenly felt sleepy just now," Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) said deliberately.

Mother Liang explained:

"These were plum drinks sent by Miss Ruoqiu, but her servants accidentally took the wrong ones and gave you plum wine instead. Unfortunately, you ended up drinking them, Madam. Does Madam have a headache?"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) waved his hand.

"Let's go find my mother-in-law."

He strode out, but before he had taken two steps, he remembered Shang Lingjun's instructions and slowed his pace, walking in a "ladylike" manner.

Concerned, Liang's mother went over to support Shang Lingjun, her expression indescribably strange.

Could it be because she's drunk? Why is the lady walking so strangely?

"Madam, would you like to rest a little longer?"

"What's there to rest about? It's such a beautiful spring day, wouldn't it be a waste to stay indoors?"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) stood under the corridor, feeling a slight itch on his face from the breeze. Thinking about it, he really should thank Shang Lingjun.

If he hadn't been residing in her body, how could this lonely ghost have had the chance to feel the warm, cozy feeling of spring sunshine on his face?

The remedy of seeking good fortune was indeed effective.

"She's such a lucky charm for her husband..." he murmured with admiration.

"Um?"

Mrs. Liang didn't hear clearly, "Madam, what did you just say?"

"It's nothing."

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) strode off!
