After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

"How could there be such a vicious father in the world?" Lian Jin exclaimed angrily.

"Yes!" Ye Yaoyao nodded vigorously.

Qin Jingyu fed her a cup of tea.

"You came alone?"

"Um, no, there's...who was it again? Oh! Uncle Ji," Ye Yaoyao answered groggily.

"I can't drink anymore. If a stranger asks me anything, I'll tell them everything."

Qin Jingyu sighed. Sure enough, he spoke the truth after drinking.

Lian Jin nodded. This silly girl really answers whatever people ask.

"No, you're different. This place feels weird."

Ye Yaoyao covered her chest with one hand. Although she was drunk, she subconsciously believed him.

Qin Jingyu's eyes flashed; he actually had the same feeling.

"This feels familiar. Let me have some water."

Ye Yaoyao felt thirsty, so Qin Jingyu fed her two more glasses of water.

"Handsome man, what are you doing here?"

"about the same as you."

"Oh, do you know who's behind this?" Ye Yaoyao tilted her head and asked him expectantly.

"We're still investigating."

As soon as the system came online, it found the host sitting with that handsome man and quickly went to check the stored replay.

Fortunately, when the system was developed, the issue of discontinuation was taken into account, so this playback function was included.

[Host, wake up, wake up, you're drunk.]

The system anxiously shouted repeatedly in Ye Yaoyao's mind.

Ye Yaoyao covered her head, and Qin Jingyu raised an eyebrow.

[Host, I was only offline for a short while, why are you telling me everything? Wake up!]

"Don't make any noise."

[Wake up, it's time to go back. Your mother will find out you snuck out soon.] The system continued to urge.

"It's so noisy." Ye Yaoyao shook her head, her brows furrowed.

If you can't drink, don't drink. Look at you now, you're completely drunk, I can't wake you up.

"You're the drunkard," Ye Yaoyao retorted loudly.

Lian Jin glanced at Ye Yaoyao. Was she about to go on a drunken rampage? And why did his master have such a smiling face?

"Well, you'd better not regret it tomorrow. Hurry home."

"Yeah, let's go home!" Ye Yaoyao mumbled sleepily.

[You still know how to go home? Do you recognize the way now? Ask someone nearby to take you home.]

"Go home," Ye Yaoyao muttered.

Uncle Ji is about to go back next door. Hurry back and ask him to take you home, you drunkard.

Qin Jingyu picked her up, took her out the door, and delivered her to the next room. The three women next door were already tired from playing and had fallen asleep on the side.

After putting the person down, he returned to the next room. Not long after, Ji Xiao came out of another room and saw Ye Yaoyao drunk and asleep.

"He even drank alcohol." Ji Xiao sighed helplessly, picked him up, and left.

"Master, let's go too!" The two only appeared after seeing Ye Yaoyao being taken away.

"Keep tonight's events a secret."

"Yes, master."

"I'll definitely forget it when I wake up tomorrow," the man sighed.

The next day, Ye Yaoyao woke up with a headache.

"My head hurts."

A pair of hands gently massaged her temples.

"Ok!"

Ye Yaoyao hummed comfortably, subconsciously enjoying the gentle massage, a look of contentment on her face.

Suddenly she opened her eyes. Ah! She had been drinking last night. And then?

"Awake?" Liu Yunshu's gentle voice came.

"Mother." Oh no, we've been found out.

Ye Yaoyao swallowed hard when she met Liu Yunshu's beautiful eyes, feeling a little guilty and not daring to look her mother in the eye.

System, system.

"How did I get back yesterday?" Ye Yaoyao called out to the system anxiously.

Uncle Ji carried you back.

Did my mother find out I went to the Peony Pavilion?

What do you think?

What happened next door after I got drunk last night?

Ye Yaoyao was a little nervous; she had forgotten what had happened after she drank the alcohol.

Nothing happened; the neighbors left long ago.

With Liu Yunshu here, the system dares not tell the truth, otherwise the host will be in big trouble if her mother hears it.

Thank goodness, the people next door are gone.

Ye Yaoyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Why would you drink if you can't even drink?

[Nonsense, I can still hold my liquor, who knew the drinks there would be so strong.]

Ye Yaoyao retorted, unconvinced.

[Of course, the liquor for men is strong, host. You'd better not drink anymore!] To avoid your secret being discovered.

"Yes, yes, I won't drink it anymore." Ye Yaoyao nodded vigorously.

Although Liu Yunshu couldn't hear what the system was saying, she roughly understood that nothing had happened to her daughter, and she was relieved to hear that her daughter would stop drinking.

Did my mother find out I went to a brothel last night?

Yes, your mother came to see you last night. Fuling was so nervous that she was discovered and is still kneeling outside.

Ye Yaoyao had learned enough about the system, looked at Liu Yunshu, sat up, hugged her, and acted coquettishly.

"Mom, I was wrong. I'll never drink again." Ye Yaoyao's voice was soft and sweet, like a kitten begging for forgiveness.

"Anything else?" Liu Yunshu remained unmoved, her expression still serious.

"I won't go to brothels anymore." Ye Yaoyao shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Is there anything else?" Liu Yunshu continued to ask.

"Ah!" Ye Yaoyao was stunned. What else was there?

Liu Yunshu glared at her and tapped her forehead with one hand.

"From now on, you must tell your mother before you go out. You can't let the maid impersonate you and deceive your mother."

"well."

Ye Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Mother, my head still hurts."

Ye Yaoyao looked at Liu Yunshu pitifully.

"I'm not going to rub it for you anymore. Learn your lesson and get up to drink some hangover soup." Liu Yunshu pretended to be stern.

Ye Yaoyao stood up, and Fu Ling was called to her feet.

"Miss, you were drunk last night. Ji Xiao carried you back, it scared me to death." Fu Ling looked like she was still shaken.

"I'm sorry, I made you kneel as punishment." Ye Yaoyao looked at her apologetically.

"It's good that Miss is alright." Fu Ling quickly waved her hand.

The triplets were worried about Ye Yaoyao and waited for her to get up so they could have breakfast together.

"Little sister, does your head still hurt?" Ye Li'an asked with concern.

"much better."

"Little sister, why didn't you invite me when you went to the Peony Pavilion? Next time you go, you must invite your second brother."

"Ye Jingyang." Liu Yunshu glared at him.

"Mom, it was a slip of the tongue. There won't be a next time."

Ye Jingyang flashed a fawning smile, quickly admitted his mistake, and then looked at Ye Yaoyao with a serious and earnest expression.

"Little sister, girls shouldn't go to places like that. You shouldn't go there in the future."

"understood."

After the meal, the servants were dismissed, and Ji Xiao was summoned. Ye Jingyang asked anxiously:

"Little sister, what did you find out last night?"

"It's nothing, Uncle Ji might have some news." Ye Yaoyao looked at Ji Xiao.

"We found a piece of burnt fragment."

Ji Xiao showed it to them; it only had two words on it: January.

"Nothing else was found. I'm going to have a drink now."

After saying that, Ji Xiao staggered away.
