Chapter 15 (Consort Overturning the World)

When she was done singing, Yanxuan stooped to bow. However, she never heard any applause, so she clapped for herself.

Eh, why did the Yang festival this time have so little audience?

'I heard that the Yan family's daughter had a nickname, 'Three cup drunkard'...the first cup, she would start to babble nonsense. The second cup, she would lose control of herself and involuntarily fall into a stupor... The third cup, she would be thoroughly drunk and collapse...'

Li You thought to himself, grabbing her hand which was about to down the third cup. "Let me drink this cup."

If she downed her third cup, wouldn't he lose his source of entertainment?

"Hey...snatching my wine, you bad person."

"Give me wine to drink, I'll call you a good guy." Yanxuan said.

"If I give wine to you, sell me your body." Li You patiently said.

Yanxuan looked at him, her eyes filled with vigilance. "...Don't you dare trick me, I'm very sober...do you know how to make delicious snacks?"

"..." Li You could not help laughing, and nodded his head. "I do."

"Oh...then I'll follow you." Yanxuan released the empty bottle of wine she was clutching, laughing proudly of herself. "My old man says that I eat till I make others bankrupt, are you still up for it?"

"You look like you were well brought up." Li You looked at her entire body once more, before dropping that comment.

Simple and plain clothes, her long hair held up with two simple sticks. Compared to those gorgeously dressed women, this girl really was brought up well.

Hey, taking her as a playtoy wasn't a bad idea...it would be interesting.

Yanxuan wasn't aware of what was going on in his mind, still immersed in her drunken fantasy.

When she went home, she definitely had to boast to her old man, that someone was willing to go bankrupt to have her...

After looking at her 'performance' for a while, seeing her get tired, Li You, in a rare show of benevolence, let her drink a third cup of wine.

Yanxuan lived up to expectations, lying down on the table...

Li You gently caught her arm, resting it beneath her head, letting her sleep slightly more comfortably.

-

Yanxuan only woke up on the noon of the second day. Butler Tang opened the door, walking into her room. Seeing her awake, his handsome appearance had a trace of gloom.

"Butler Tang?" Yanxuan cautiously looked at his unusual expression.

"Young lady, you are getting more and more bolder." He coldly humphed, handing her a fruit, "Daring to drink till as drunk as mud, your courage really isn't small."

Thank goodness nothing happened, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Hehe." Yanxuan looked at her untouched clothes in relieve , knowing that she didn't judge him wrongly. "The person drinking with me was a good person."

"Of course..." If that wasn't the case, how could the young miss still have untouched clothes?

"Right, who was the one that sent me back home? Was it Li You? How could he be that nice?"

"En, I was initially about to go and look for you, but suddenly felt like my back was hit by something, then I saw a pebble which was tied to a slip of paper..."

"En, carry on." Yanxuan calmly drank a mouthful of tea from a cup which was set on the table.

"On the slip of paper, said that I should go to the doorstep of our house and take a look...when I arrived, I then saw young miss lying on the doorstep, sleeping soundly...while hugging a small dog, even kissing it. Furthermore, there were many people standing in a circle and watching you."

Yanxuan spat the mouthful of tea out.

She didn't even need to think, it was definitely Li You! Butler Tang continued on indifferently, like he wasn't afraid of death. "Young miss didn't see at that time, the place was still desolate. But the dog barked and struggled like it was..." Like it was being raped. The last words were stuck in Butler Tang's throat, and he shut his mouth firmly, watching Yanxuan's face darken.

That day, dark clouds shrouded the earth, bringing with them a chilling sensation...

It looks like the incident of her going out to drink even before the sun set had spread everywhere...

The neighbour beside the Yan family, an auntie, said that Yanxuan had been influenced badly. It reached her father's ears, and she was severely scolded.

Yanxuan raised her head to the sky and sighed, her obedient, good reputation had been tarnished and obliterated completely by Li You, this wretch.

However, the matchmakers that frequently dropped by their house had lessened a lot. Yanxuan was ecstatic, her old man wouldn't need to get her to choose from 3rd class, deformed portraits, at least there was a profit from the disaster.

Although it was slightly exaggerated, compared to dealing with Li You and Butler Tang sort of people, it was much better.

She suddenly thought of that wretch Li You, the way he looked like when he was contemplating something, the enchanting smile on his face when he drunk wine, the way his ruby eyes shone with both mischief yet wiseness whenever he teased her, the way his constantly lethargic and lazy character only seemed to add to his charm...

Damn! Think of him for what? Yanxuan hit herself. Thinking of anyone was fine, but she actually thought of that wretch, was she possessed?

["Aya!" “Ayaa!” It was truly unlucky if someone got water stuck in between their teeth while drinking. Someone bumped into her, and she took two steps back, feeling incredibly pained. Yan Xuan couldn’t help but look up, “don’t irritate me” written all over her face.]* *Translated by Killmeplz
