Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1955

Someone half-opened the window on the pleasure boat, and the biting cold wind, carrying the moisture from the river, poured into the cabin, waking Shi Chengxuan suddenly from his drunkenness.

He stood up suddenly, spilling the remaining wine on the table. "What? Missing? Impossible!" His voice was still drunk. "I saw her yesterday."

Drinking Buddy A put down his chopsticks with a click and widened his eyes. "Really?"

Shi Chengxuan slapped the rosewood table, causing the cups and plates to jingle. "It's absolutely true! It's truer than real gold!"

The corners of his eyes were flushed from drinking, but he couldn't hide his smugness.

Drinking buddy B twirled his beard, half believing and half doubting, "That's the future Empress Dowager, how can you still meet her now?"

"Why not?" Shi Chengxuan straightened his back, the cloud pattern on his brocade robe glowing under the candlelight, "No matter what her future status is, she will always be the mother of my children."

These words were powerful and showed a rare sincerity.

Drinking buddy C came closer, smiled maliciously, and asked in a low voice, "So when you meet, do you still... um?"

He winked and made eyes, and the unfinished words became more unbearable in the ambiguous silence.

If it were usual, Shi Chengxuan would definitely follow up the topic and brag about how the woman could not forget him and was deeply in love with him.

But at this moment, Xiao Yunde's pair of icy eyes seemed to be right in front of him, sending chills down his spine. His daughter's usual "teachings" were still ringing in his ears, his son's threats were engraved in his bones, and Mrs. Gu's earnest advice and nagging were like a tight ring around his head.

Not to mention Tang Chujun, he had mixed feelings in his heart, a mixture of love and hate, but he didn't dare to show any disrespect.

"Be careful with your words!" Shi Chengxuan frowned, his face gloomy as iron, and he tapped the table heavily with his fingers, knocking away the remaining wine. Then he slapped it hard, wiping all the wine stains on the robe of his drinking buddy C.

Drinking Buddy C: “…”

Hearing Shi Chengxuan's warning in an unprecedented serious tone, "Since the divorce, she and I have been clean and innocent, and we always go our separate ways when we meet. If you think your head is too safe, just talk nonsense. When the time comes, you will be thrown into prison--" He sneered, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, and don't come to blame me."

All the drinking buddies were shocked. The alcohol in their heads was completely dissipated in the cold wind, and everyone's face changed and their mouths shut.

Chang Wu was so anxious when he saw his master talking about the former mistress that he wanted to cover his mouth. But his master was able to stop himself after relying on his eight-life experience. He felt like crying for joy.

Who understands? That feeling is exactly the same as when an old mother sighs, “My son has grown up and become sensible.”

However, in the middle of the night, the Western Shadow Guards still came to secretly arrest people.

Shi Chengxuan and his drinking buddies were all thrown into the cell without exception.

When Shi Yunqi learned the news, it was already mid-afternoon of the next day.

Long Jiang came to explain to him personally, "Your father said that he met Madam Tang the day before yesterday, and a drinking buddy testified, so we brought him in for trial."

Shi Yunqi raised his hand and rubbed his swollen temples, not holding on to any hope, "Thank you for your hard work. His mouth..."

I would rather believe snow falling in summer and sunrise in the west than believe his father’s irresponsible words!

He also specifically instructed, "Keep him for a few more days, so I don't have to worry about him."

Long Jiang: “…”

He had originally planned to release him that night. After all, after the interrogation he knew that Shi Chengxuan was just talking nonsense and there was no clue at all.

But since his own son has spoken, what can he do? He can just provide food and accommodation.

Long Jiang nodded and agreed casually, "Then I will keep him in prison for another three days."

"Lock her up for half a month." Shi Yunqi's voice was full of fatigue. He couldn't sleep all night because his mother was missing.
