My face flushed, and I felt a little overwhelmed by his appearance, so I wanted to get him to sleep early. So I blushed and said, "Okay, okay, we've washed and wiped, it's time to go to bed."

He was stunned for a moment, then said, "I haven't rinsed my mouth yet."

I replied, "Yes, yes, yes! My little ancestor, my eldest master, you annoying little devil, you have to sit still so I can get you some water."

After hearing this, he finally left and sat down properly.

I poured him a cup of warm water and handed it to him to rinse his mouth. After he rinsed his mouth, he suddenly said, "The young master ignored me."

I was pouring mouthwash into the foot basin when I heard him say, "Whose family is the eldest young master from?"

"Big brother."

I paused holding the cup, then gently put the cup back on the table. He was usually calm and proper, but now he was drunk and spoke the truth. He still cared about Tushan Hou.

"If the young master ignores you, you ignore him too! Let's just play with the people who pay attention to us, okay?"

I wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with concern, and he reached out and grabbed my hand.

"But he's my eldest brother. I don't understand. Now that our mother is gone, shouldn't we brothers depend on each other? Why did he change his temper so drastically and dislike me anyway?"

I sighed, thinking that Madam Tushan only told Tushan Hou that he was not the son of Tushan Jing, but did not tell Tushan Jing. I wanted to tell him, but I was afraid that he would be hurt, so I decided to find an opportunity to slowly infiltrate him in the future.

"Because... because he is bad! So we should stay away from bad guys and stop playing with him!" I gritted my teeth and stripped off his outer robe under his sable cloak, leaving him only with his inner clothes.

"Brother is bad." He murmured again and again.

"Yes! Remember, stay away from him in the future. Out of sight, out of mind. Then you won't get hurt." I led him to the bed and spread out the quilt for him.

He nodded, as if he was very tired, and I helped him lie down.

I covered him with a blanket and saw that he closed his eyes obediently. I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he would not make a big fuss. Apart from being a little talkative and clingy, his drinking behavior was okay.

I walked to my crib next to me and applied some medicine to my lower back. Sure enough, the pain was gone. As soon as I made the bed, I heard him call out softly, "Mom."

I was worried, so I went back to see him. I saw that he had his eyes closed tightly, a crystal tear fell from the corner of his eye, and his hand outside moved.

I took his hand and wanted to put it back under the quilt, but he held it tightly and said, "Mom, I miss you too..."

I struggled but couldn't get free, so he said again: "Don't go, don't..."

I felt a little soft-hearted, so I sighed, sat down beside his bed, and saw that his frown had relaxed.

I blew out the red candle on the small table beside the bed, shed a few tears, and silently accompanied him in the darkness.

I don't know when I fell asleep and I dreamed all night, but I can't remember what I dreamed about. Sometimes I felt like I was burning on fire, and sometimes I felt like I was being roasted by the sun. In short, it was hot.

"...Wake up! Wake up quickly!" I vaguely heard someone talking, and it seemed like someone was pushing me again. I opened my eyes and saw Jingye's small face enlarged in front of me.

"Oh, finally one of them wakes up! Today is New Year's Eve and the young master has been busy all day. Please help me wake him up." She said anxiously.

I still felt hot on my back, so I turned around and saw Tu Shanjing pouting slightly, leaning against me, breathing deeply, and still sleeping soundly.

I pulled his hands away from my waist, sat up and pushed him. He turned over, curled up like a shrimp, and continued to sleep with his arms around the quilt.

I had no choice but to use my trump card. I reached out my hand and scratched his neck gently. He sat up with his hands covering his neck, his face turned red, and finally he opened his eyes.

"Young Master, you are finally awake! Come and wash up! Today is New Year's Eve, and it seems that it is too late to offer sacrifices to the ancestors!" Ruiyang, who had been hiding behind Jingye, came forward with a copper basin. Behind him, Chengman was holding a mouthwash cup, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Tu Shanjing was unexpectedly surrounded by so many people. He was still a little confused. He rubbed his temples and finally seemed to wake up a little. He asked, "How long will it take?"

Ruiyang wiped his face quickly while answering, "In less than two incense sticks of time, the carriage will arrive at the front gate of the mansion. Chengman and I waited outside for a while, until it was too late, and then we went to find Miss Jingye to open the door. Please don't blame me for disturbing your sweet dream."

Tu Shanjing stretched out his feet to put on his shoes and said "it's okay". Seeing that Jingye and I had taken off the red crabapple-colored, gold-branched, narrow-sleeved cloud satin robe he was going to wear today, he took the cup handed to him by Chengman, rinsed his mouth simply, and came over to put on his clothes.

In a matter of seconds, Jingye dressed him up and made him look like a wealthy and noble young man. He then had time to say to me, "I will comb the young master's hair, and you go get his boots and sword. The belt should be the one with brocade flowers and rubies."

I agreed and went to look for it hurriedly. I found the boots, but was just wondering where to find the sword and belt. When I turned around, I saw them on the suitcase. I guess Jingye had prepared them yesterday. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to take them.

Jingye had already combed Tu Shanjing's hair and was putting a gold crown inlaid with South pearls and eight treasures on his head. After putting it on, she took the boots and squatted down to put them on him. After Tu Shanjing put them on, he took the sword from my hand and wrapped it around his waist.

Ruiyang took a piece of tea cake and fed it to Tu Shanjing: "Young Master, it's too late to have breakfast. Eat a little to fill your stomach. It will take a while to worship the ancestors!"

Tu Shanjing opened his mouth to eat, and didn't have time to speak. I turned around and picked up the snow-white mink coat hanging on the hanger, and asked Jingye: "Sister, are you wearing this outside today?"

Jingye was bending over to help Tu Shanjing tie his belt. Hearing this, he looked up and replied, "Yes, take it here."

I walked over holding the mink coat and saw Jingye had finally tied a knot tightly, and Tu Shanjing's full armor was finished.

Tu Shanjing lowered his body slightly and asked me to put the mink coat on him. Then he stretched out his hands, which were as white as the mink coat, to tie the belt. He lowered his head and glanced at Ruiyang, then said, "Okay, shall we go?"

Ruiyang was still wearing his outer robe. He was sweating on his forehead and was wiping it with a towel. Hearing this, he put the towel on Chengman's wrist, who was holding the basin, and replied, "Yes!"

Tu Shanjing turned around, looked at me, and said, "I'll be back after the New Year's Eve." Then he was surrounded by Ruiyang and Chengman and floated away like a gust of wind.

I was also a little hot from being busy, so I took out a towel and wiped the sweat off my forehead, then turned around and looked into Jingye's eyes.

Jingye stared at me and asked seriously, "What happened last night?"

I replied, "The young master was drunk and confused. I had to coax him and finally got him to rest."

"You can coax her, but why did you coax her into the same bed?"
