Qu Yunchu was very happy to return to his mother for the New Year reunion as he wished.

I can finally let go of my guard and release the long-suppressed melancholy.

She asked Ji Zhen and Keyan to get the good fruit wine purchased by the Lu family and prepare to get drunk with everyone.

I still remember that my mother was a very good drinker when she was young, and she was not as cautious as she is now.

After experiencing what happened to her father, her temperament has really changed a lot.

Today, I must make her happy.

After the three families gathered together for a banquet, she personally poured wine for everyone, as if she were the master of the family, and she politely ordered everyone to enjoy the food on the table.

After several rounds of changing glasses, the atmosphere in the room became completely relaxed.

"Aunt Niu has worked hard today, please eat more."

After drinking several more glasses of wine, Qu Yunchu was already a little tipsy. While picking up vegetables for Aunt Niu, he asked Wei to drink:

"Mrs. Wei has a reputation of never getting drunk after a thousand cups of wine. Don't hold yourself back today."

"Sister, how do you know my mother can drink?"

Qu A'a narrowed her big bright eyes and asked in confusion.

"Yes, how did I know?"

Qu Yunchu shook his head, his eyes blurred, and said with a smile: "That must be a guess."

"Big sister is so smart."

Qu A Xin believed it was true.

Mrs. Wei stared at the young lady of the Lu family quietly, always feeling that she had a lot of things on her mind.

Although her former family was not considered rich, she had been with her husband in Beijing for many years and had seen a lot of the world. She knew that the wife of a wealthy family was not that easy to do, and she was not as glamorous as she seemed.

The girl didn't say anything, but Mrs. Wei could tell that her life was not going well.

"Thanks to the love of the young lady, I am willing to come to a remote place like ours as a guest. Today I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, and to drink a few more drinks with the young lady."

Wei Shi rarely let go of the restraints in her heart, and raised her glass happily to signal to her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wei, for your kindness."

Qu Yunchu raised his glass in a daze. As soon as he put the glass of wine to his mouth, he felt that his hand was no longer his, and he fell down on the table.

"big sister."

Qu A'a called her several times but failed to wake her up.

"Young lady, you can't drink too much."

Uncle Qu Liu glanced at the second jar of fruit wine that had just been opened on the table, his eyes filled with disappointment.

I thought I had met a drinking partner, but as soon as I became interested, the young lady fell drunk. It was really boring.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the alcohol was getting to his head, and he couldn't resist it, so he fell down on the table in a daze.

"The stamina of this fruit wine is really too great."

"Sister Wei, let's help the young lady go to the back room to rest first."

Looking at the fallen man, Aunt Niu sighed helplessly and hurriedly got up. While instructing Erya and Qu Mian to send their father home, she and Wei helped Qu Yunchu to the inner bedroom.

Waiting to put her on the bed, Mrs. Wei had just covered her with the quilt when she heard a light call ringing in her ears:

"Mother, don't go."

"..."

Mrs. Wei and Aunt Niu looked at each other, and before they could speak, they saw the woman on the bed stretch out a slender hand and pull her clothes tightly:
"Mother, don't go."

"Young madam, I'm afraid you really drank too much."

Aunt Niu said with a grimace: "Everyone is starting to treat Sister Wei as their mother."

After thinking about it, she had no choice but to tell Mrs. Wei: "Let me and Siniang clean up the kitchen. Sister Wei takes good care of the young lady."

"Yes." Mrs. Wei responded in confusion, and had no choice but to move a stool from the coffee table, sit on the bed and quietly stare at the young lady who had already fallen asleep.

The Li Zheng family also held a banquet to entertain the Lu family, but when Yan heard at Li Zheng's house that the young lady was drunk, he hurried over.

Seeing her young lady holding on to Mrs. Wei and murmuring "Mother" like a child, she suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Mrs. Wei, my lady is not like this usually."

Ke Yan waved his hands and explained helplessly.

I have never seen the young lady so close to the old lady in the old house before, but now she is hugging a strange woman with no sense of boundaries.

She was ashamed.

"It doesn't matter."

Wei looked at the red face on the bed, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

The young lady looks very much like her poor daughter.

My daughter was sent to Xuandu Temple when she was young and rarely came home, so she was always as clingy as she is today every time we get together, not wanting to leave even when she falls asleep.

After smoothing the veil, she began to wipe the sweat from Qu Yunchu's forehead with a kind look on his face.

"There is Mrs. Lawy."

Ke Yan felt a little sorry and felt that he had caused trouble to her.

"Young Madam has been protecting us all these days, so it's only right that I take care of her."

Wei said with a smile: "Miss Yan, go out and celebrate the New Year with the villagers. I will take care of you here. You stay with the young lady all day long. I think you rarely come to a place like ours. You don't have to." Restricted.”

"Thank you, Mrs. Wei."

Keyan had already seen that the young lady liked to get close to the unknown woman in front of her. Although she was a little jealous and felt sorry for the old lady in her family, she really couldn't figure out the young lady's thoughts.

Staring at the scene in front of her, she had no choice but to respectfully pray to the Wei family and retreat silently.

Qu A'a came in from outside and was frightened by what she saw. She quickly ran to Wei and asked in confusion:
"Mom, why does eldest sister always like to cling to you? And I seemed to have heard her calling you mother just now. Doesn't eldest sister have a mother?"

"Shh."

Mrs. Wei softly hissed at Xiao Douding. In fact, she herself was confused now, so she could only excuse herself: "It must be that your eldest sister also misses her own mother."

"But isn't the eldest sister's biological mother in the Shen family? Why doesn't she go back to the Shen family and come to our house for the Chinese New Year?"

Qu A'a was still confused.

These words stopped Mr. Wei.

If it was really just to appease the villagers, it would be an extra favor for the Lu family to just send a housekeeper and servants to distribute New Year's goods, and there was no need for the young lady to come in person.

She did hear some of the young lady's family affairs from Aunt Niu, and knew that her biological mother had died long ago, and that the Shen family member was just an adoptive mother.

Thinking of this, she seemed to be able to understand this "young lady" again.

"And a poor child."

Mrs. Wei sighed sadly, and she and Xiao Douding silently watched the "young lady" on the bed, who was lost in thought, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Qu Aa first rushed out to take a look, and saw a group of people standing in a stalemate with Jizhen's servants and villagers. The tense situation suddenly filled the originally peaceful courtyard with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Master Sun, the second young lady did drink more wine and fell asleep."

Ji Zhen stopped Ji Ping, who was about to break in, and explained with a serious face.

"Are you asleep again?"

Lu Yanchao was furious: "My second aunt is really tolerant. She really considers this place her home. She can sleep peacefully wherever she goes."

I'm afraid that as long as she is given a bed in that noisy market, she will be able to sleep in total darkness.

But every time, she fell into a deep sleep at the critical moment when she was in urgent need of help.

Was it because he had a grudge against himself in his previous life or something?

He seriously suspected that this woman was deliberately going against him.
