The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi saw this and quickly turned to explain to Furong: "Yuhua and Cangman have always disliked each other. Today, Yuhua might have been drunk and said some unpleasant words. You must not take it to heart."

Furong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle yet slightly bitter smile, and slowly said: "Yuhua is kind-hearted and always thinks of me. When I was in South City, I was alone with my child. Although I had no shortage of money, life was hard. If it weren't for Yuhua taking care of me, I don't know if I could have survived until today. So, I listen to every word Yuhua says."

At this point, Furong sighed slightly, and continued with a somewhat dim look: "Cangman and I are always apart more than we are together. The days we can spend together can be counted on fingers. Because of this, it is really difficult for me to know what he has done outside. But even so, as long as he still remembers this home and is willing to come back, I will be satisfied."

You know, Furong is a person of strong character, but the words coming out of her mouth at this moment seem so humble. Shang Xi, who was standing aside and listening quietly, couldn't help but sigh, and his thoughts surged like a tide. After all, in this era of male superiority and female inferiority, the head of a family is usually a man, so in those wealthy families, this system of clear distinction between superiors and inferiors is even more vivid. Even a woman like Furong, who has outstanding appearance, rich wealth and profound knowledge, can only endure Cangman's willful behavior silently and has nowhere to complain.

The women sitting in the outer room all looked solemn and worried, while the men sitting in the inner room were toasting and chatting happily.

These women sat there quietly, and from time to time they could hear bursts of laughter from the inner room. The sounds were one after another, so cheerful! The liveliness of the place was self-evident.

If we were to ask who had the loudest voice in the room, it would undoubtedly be Cangman. This was because among the people at the table, Cangman and Wan Baiqian were the two who drank the most. Especially Cangman, who was fearless and showed an attitude of not giving in to anyone at the table. He was full of heroic spirit and kept raising his glass.

In contrast, Cheng Feng, who is Wan Baiqian's brother, has the same blood as Wan Baiqian and is also a big drinker. Ever since he was drunk by his uncle several times, he has completely lost interest in alcohol. He would not drink if he can avoid it and is currently sitting there watching the fun with a grin on his face!

At this time, Boss Qian saw that Cangman was only concerned with drinking with Wan Baiqian, so he quickly tried to dissuade him, "Cangman, don't always compete with your sister in drinking! There are so many guests today, you have to entertain them first!"

After hearing this, Cang Man chuckled and said disapprovingly, "Although there are many guests, which one of them can match me and my sister? Look at Shi Hong and Mr. Mo over there, they are already a little drunk. If they drink any more, they will have to lie on the table."

Boss Qian pointed at Suiying and said, "There are some who are not drunk, right? Look at Suiying, he can drink a lot, but he is not drunk at all."

Suiying smiled and waved his hand, saying politely, "Many years ago, the emperor set a rule for us that we are not allowed to drink when we are out. Over the years, no matter where I go or in a foreign country, I always keep this rule in mind and dare not violate or offend it in the slightest."

After hearing what Suiying said, Boss Qian immediately showed a serious and respectful look. He nodded hurriedly and said, "So this is a rule set by the emperor himself. You really can't disobey it! Suiying, in this case, please enjoy the fragrant tea and dishes on the table."

At this moment, Sui Dan, who had been silent all this time and had never spoken, suddenly spoke. He was chewing crabs, and the scars on his face were particularly eye-catching. While chewing crab meat, he mumbled incoherently: "When did the emperor say such a thing? I have no recollection of it at all!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Suiying. However, Suiying did not feel embarrassed at all. He just glanced at Suidan and responded calmly: "Just because you don't remember doesn't mean the emperor didn't say that. Suidan, you should just focus on eating your crabs."

Normally, without Wan Lianxing, Suiying would not be here at all. However, he was sent by Wan Lianxing to protect Cheng Feng in the past two years. It was because of Suiying's protection that Cheng Feng was safe all the way. So Cheng Feng can sit here safely at this time, Suiying has made an indispensable contribution. In order to express their gratitude to Suiying, Wan Baiqian and Boss Qian specially sent someone to send an invitation to Suiying. Faced with such a generous invitation, Suiying really couldn't refuse, and finally came as invited. Otherwise, at this moment, he must have rushed to the road to Chaizhou without stopping to report to Wan Lianxing.

At this moment, Sui Dan, who was standing beside Sui Ying, shook his head and said, "You must be lying. I drink wherever I go, and the emperor never said anything to me!"

Hearing this, Suiying glared at Suidan and scolded him, "You've been idle all day, doing nothing, so the emperor naturally doesn't bother to care about you."

At this time, Cangman also spoke up and agreed: "Speaking of Suiying, this person is very cunning and never honest when drinking. We have known each other for nearly a year, and I have never seen you drunk."

Suiying explained: "I am out this time on the orders of the Emperor to protect Cheng Feng, how dare I drink so recklessly."

Cangman insisted, "We've already returned home, but you're still pretending not to drink! You even brought up the emperor. When the emperor returns triumphantly, I'll have to ask him in person to see if this is true! Humph, I seriously suspect you're lying now."

Sui Ying explained helplessly: "You really must not drink too much today. I have important things to do after dinner. I plan to leave for Chaizhou immediately." He was going to report to Wan Lianxing.

Sui Dan interrupted and said, "The emperor said that you have done a great job in protecting Cheng Feng, so you deserve a reward. He ordered you to rest at home for a few days. Besides, drinking won't delay your journey. If you leave soon, I will follow you to Chaizhou. You can't fall off the horse."

At this time, Cangman looked at Suiying with disdain and said, "Look, Suiying never tells the truth, but Suidan is a very honest person. Suidan, if he doesn't want to drink with everyone, let's drink together."
