Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass-Chapter 537 - Drunken Truths 3

This little maid just sat next to the State Preceptor so casually!! On top of that, the State Preceptor made no comment.

Could it be that the sun had risen from the west today?

Or was it…his hallucination?

The shopkeeper could not help pinching his own thigh painfully until it went numb. Only then was he sure of the reality before his eyes.

After the shop servant brought the sliced beef and wine over, the shopkeeper personally took the wine to the table. He stammered, “Y-Your Excellency, the wine you asked for is here.”

Just the act of putting the wine down was enough to make the shopkeeper break into a cold sweat.

After all, the man with an eye patch was the current State Preceptor.

The State Preceptor looked gentle and mild, but was actually a man who killed people without blinking an eye and behaved extremely ruthlessly!

Seeing the wine placed down, Qi Qingyao got up and clamored, “Your Excellency, let me pour the wine for you!”

With that, she went ahead and poured a cup for herself, then filled the cup for Li Ruoxuan.

When the shopkeeper exited the room, he happened to witness this scene and was stunned again.

Zhu Shen and another guard stood by the door. They closed the door calmly, blocking the view from prying eyes.

The shopkeeper was left with a headful of questions as he slowly went down the stairs.

The shopkeeper’s mind was full of bewilderment. That little maid did not care about the State Preceptor and poured wine for herself first?

The same thing happened before that. She sat down without invitation, even taking a seat next to the State Preceptor, slouching with a hand on her chin… All in all, she looked very ill-mannered, but why did the State Preceptor not seem to mind?

Eh?

Could the little maid be the State Preceptor’s concubine?

The shopkeeper suddenly felt ashamed of his own imagination.

Because it did not take a genius to know that the State Preceptor would never fall for an ordinary little maid!

——

Li Ruoxuan curled his lips when he saw how eager she was to pour the wine. “Didn’t you say you came to eat? Why did you start drinking by yourself?”

“...”

Qi Qingyao lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, silently picking up the wine cup and pouring the contents into her mouth.

Li Ruoxuan looked at the wine in the cup and said nothing for a while. Seeing that she had already begun to pour a second cup, he spoke again, “No one has ever dared to call me out and do nothing but silently make me their drinking companion.”

Qi Qingyao made a silencing gesture. “Let’s take it as me begging you to quietly accompany me for a few drinks.”

Li Ruoxuan asked noncommittally, “Do you want to play the finger-guessing game?”

Qi Qingyao did not reply. She picked up the wine cup, stood up, and walked to the side of the room. Then she opened the window and looked at the bustling outdoors, the lively streets of the Capital City. She leaned against the window and brought the wine cup to her lips boredly, her gaze slightly hollow.

She looked serene.

She said with a hint of stubbornness, “I don’t like to lose!”

Li Ruoxuan, “?”

Qi Qingyao drained the cup in one go. Her throat and stomach were suddenly set on fire

However, she did not seem to feel anything.

Facing the breeze, she said with half-squinted eyes,

“Right now, let’s just say that I’ve lost, so I’ll drink all the wine.”

Li Ruoxuan did not make a sound. He just sat there and looked at the “little maid” leaning by the window sill.

Since the kitchen prioritized the dishes ordered by the State Preceptor, the food was served very quickly in this private room.

Zhu Shen opened the door. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

A few servants came in with the dishes and served them quickly. No one dared to look around. Each of them was restrained to their own duties and quickly left the private room after serving the dishes.

Zhu Shen closed the door again.

Once more, the room was left with two of them

Seeing that the pot of wine had been finished, Li Ruoxuan walked to the door and cast a look at Zhu Shen.

Zhu Shen promptly ordered another five pots of Bodhi Crisp to be served.
