CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: HE LOOKS DOWN ON MY FAMILY SO MUCH

The gatekeeper saw that Fu Shinian was actually being carried back by Xiao Chengyu, and was startled, bewilderedly asking Chunmian, "Miss Chunmian, this..."

"You quickly report to the master and madam." urged Chunmian.

The gatekeeper moved faster than her.

"Yes, yes." The gatekeeper hurriedly ran towards the rear courtyard.

Chunmian could only lead Xiao Chengyu to Fu Shinian’s courtyard.

Halfway there, they saw Mr. Fu, Madam Fu, Fu Changqin, Fu Mingzhu, and Aunt Cheng hurrying toward them.

They heard that Fu Shinian was being carried back by Xiao Chengyu and were startled.

When they asked the gatekeeper, he couldn’t explain.

Whether Fu Shinian was injured was also unknown.

"Marquis!" Mr. Fu called anxiously.

Xiao Chengyu stopped and said, "It’s the marquis’ residence’s negligence that made the second young lady drink a couple of extra glasses, and now the second young lady is asleep and cannot be awakened."

Mr. Fu felt numb all over, "It’s really improper of my daughter to have the marquis carry her back."

Fu Changqin hurried forward, "Marquis, please let me take Shinian."

Fu Shinian wasn’t afraid of pressing down on Marquis Changping.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengyu couldn’t refuse, but he still reminded, "Be careful."

Fu Changqin thought this was his own sister, how could he not be careful?

Fu Changqin took Fu Shinian over, and Mr. Fu and Madam Fu both breathed a sigh of relief.

"No one saw." Xiao Chengyu explained.

Only then did Mr. Fu slightly relax, "It’s really troubling the marquis."

"Tomorrow I will take Shinian to apologize." Madam Fu said, "How can she be so impolite at the marquis’ residence."

"Actually, the second young lady didn’t drink much, only three glasses of jujube wine." Xiao Chengyu explained, "The second young lady was not impolite. It was our fault for not knowing the second young lady’s tolerance and not hosting her well."

"In that case, I will take my leave first." Xiao Chengyu glanced at Fu Shinian before turning to leave.

Mr. Fu hurriedly instructed the steward to see him out.

Madam Fu looked at Fu Shinian, who was fast asleep in Fu Changqin’s arms, both angry and helpless, and pinched her nose, "Still sleeping!"

Who knew, Fu Shinian opened her mouth to breathe, but still didn’t wake up.

"Truly... how could she get this drunk." Madam Fu followed Fu Changqin to carry Fu Shinian back to her room.

Madam Fu then asked Chunmian about the details.

Thinking to herself, it really wasn’t the marquis’ residence’s fault, who would have thought Fu Shinian’s alcohol tolerance was this poor.

"Watch the young lady in the future, no matter how sweet the wine, don’t let her drink too much." Madam Fu said.

"Yes."

The next day, Fu Shinian woke up, groggily sat up.

Chunmian saw her and quickly asked, "Young lady, do you feel any discomfort? Does your head hurt? Are you thirsty?"

Fu Shinian shook her head, still a bit dazed, "My head doesn’t hurt, give me some tea, I am really very thirsty."

Chunmian poured tea for Fu Shinian and said, "The kitchen cooked some hangover soup, it’s been kept warm on the stove just waiting for you to wake up. I’ll go bring it for you."

Chunmian left, and Fu Shinian thought for a long time but couldn’t remember how she came back the previous night.

The last memory she had was of playing with the shadows on the ground at the marquis’ residence.

Chunmian brought back the hangover soup, "Young lady, drink it while it’s hot, it will make you feel better."

Fu Shinian wasn’t feeling unwell, but still drank a few sips and said, "Chunmian, how did I get back last night?"

Chunmian showed an indescribable expression, which made Fu Shinian nervous, "What? Did I embarrass myself last night?"

"Well...I suppose it wasn’t really embarrassing..." right?

The young lady didn’t make a fuss, she just walked a bit unsteadily.

"What’s going on exactly, tell me quickly." Fu Shinian urged anxiously.

"Last night, the marquis carried you onto the carriage." Chunmian said, "You slept soundly in the carriage, and when it stopped in front of the mansion, you were so deeply asleep that I couldn’t wake you. So, the marquis carried you into the mansion again."

Seeing Fu Shinian’s face turn red and then red again, burying her face into her knees in embarrassment, Chunmian hurriedly explained, "But halfway in the mansion, the master and madam came, and finally, it was the young master who carried you back."

"Oh dear..." Fu Shinian was full of regret, it was so embarrassing.

"How... how could I let the marquis carry and hold me?" Fu Shinian finally raised her face from her knees and asked Chunmian, "I hope I didn’t crush the marquis."

Chunmian: "... Young lady, the marquis is quite strong, after carrying you he wasn’t red-faced or breathless. But, young lady, that’s not the point, the point is that the marquis is an outsider man who carried you."

Fu Shinian: "..."

"It was just an expedient measure, after all, you can’t carry me." Fu Shinian turned out not to be concerned about this, "The marquis is upright and has treated me like a junior."

"Is that so?" Chunmian muttered.

Forget it, if the young lady says it is, then it is.

Seeing Fu Shinian holding her head in embarrassment, pulling her hair, Chunmian comforted, "Young lady, if you’re just worried about troubling the marquis for carrying you, you really don’t need to be concerned."

Seeing Fu Shinian stop her actions, Chunmian said, "After all, it wasn’t the first time the marquis carried you."

"What?" Fu Shinian looked up in shock, "When else?"

"The day before yesterday, when you climbed the mountain to get a talisman for the marquis, you fainted from exhaustion as you left the hall. It was the marquis who carried you onto the carriage." Chunmian said.

Fu Shinian really hadn’t paid attention to this matter.

When she woke up in Xiao Chengyu’s carriage, she was too tired and surprised to think about how she got onto Xiao Chengyu’s carriage.

"Sigh, no matter what, this time was embarrassing." Fu Shinian said dejectedly, "Being carried while drunk is not the same as being carried because of fainting from exhaustion."

In the future, she must not drink so much again, no matter how tasty, just a taste will suffice.

After Fu Shinian got up and washed, she inevitably got scolded by Madam Fu again.

As she was being scolded, Nanny Yu came in, cautiously glanced at Fu Shinian, displaying an expression of wanting to speak privately with Madam Fu.

"Alright, you go rest." Madam Fu said to Fu Shinian, "It’s a bit much to make a special trip to the marquis’ residence to apologize for this, but next time you meet the marquis, you must remember to thank him."

"Yes." Fu Shinian left with her head down, feeling dispirited.

Only then did Nanny Yu say, "Madam, there’s news from Cheng Da’s side."

Madam Fu instantly became serious, asking in a deep voice, "Have you found out who it was?"

"It’s Lin Siye’s daughter, Lin Qingqing." Nanny Yu said in a low voice.

"Good, very good!" Madam Fu was very angry, her hand gripping the pear wood chair armrest tightly, her well-trimmed nails showing the whiteness of the fingertips underneath, "If he looked down upon my family, why did he propose in the first place?"

"He looks down on Mingzhu from my family, yet fancies the pretentious and affected daughter of a minor sixth-rank official." Madam Fu said angrily, "He truly thinks the Fu family is at his disposal for selection and bullying?"
