Chapter 1011 -1011 Wine Doesn’t Intoxicate, People Intoxicate Themselves
As he spoke, he hastily arranged all the food he had purchased onto plates.
At that moment, Liu Sisi was very happy.
Prince Luo was clearly very satisfied with Di Xuan as well, praising him incessantly ever since he entered the door.
“Xuan’er is such an understanding child, smart and quick-witted, very much to my liking. The most important thing in the interactions between people is naturally how they get along. If they get along well, everything goes smoothly, otherwise, it’s an uphill struggle every step of the way. Come, come, come, quickly sit beside your Uncle.”
He beckoned Di Xuan to come and sit.
Di Xuan couldn’t argue with that and after thanking Prince Luo, he carefully took a seat beside him.
From beginning to end, Di Yelei had a look of profound mystery and invited everyone to try some pastry. Then, wiping his hands clean, he smiled at Prince Luo.
“Since that’s the case, about what we just agreed upon earlier… it seems just perfect.”

Prince Luo was indeed very thorough in his thinking. Over the years, Thirteen had poured all her attention onto Di Xuan, giving the Di Family clothing and little dogs, those two dogs named Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua were found with much effort, and to think she hadn’t even received a word of thanks before sending them away.
Thinking about how he had doted on Thirteen for so many years, disregarding her birth as a concubine’s daughter and going through all difficulties to forcefully secure for her the title of Prefecture Princess—a title he begged for with a thick face. Now in the blink of an eye, she turned her heart towards others, how could Prince Luo easily let go.
Fortunately, all her efforts had not been in vain, as the Di Family finally sent someone to deliver a letter.
His joy immediately blossomed!
He was tempted to make things difficult once again, worrying it might scare them away, he gritted his teeth and relented. He had originally planned to retain his dignity for a few more days, but thinking of the events of the past, he feared that delays might lead to trouble and so he hurriedly instructed his servants to carry the letter back and agreed on today’s meeting time.
Now that the exchange of keepsakes had taken place, he held a beautifully crafted hairpin in his arms, wishing he could fly back immediately to give it to his Thirteen.
Liu Sisi was all smiles at that moment! Finally, she had settled this marriage.
The next step would be to match their birthdate information and deal with the tedious matters of the marriage rites. Oh and, she also needed to return to the capital to arrange the wedding date with the Ministry of Rites…
Thinking of it all, there seemed to be so much to do, truly making her want to beat a retreat, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and bear it.
Looking up, she met Di Xuan’s gaze and nodded almost imperceptibly, then lifted her cup of tea and took a sip.
Di Xuan’s eyes immediately lit up with joy.
Though he had known the outcome from early on, thinking back on Liu Sisi’s deliberate difficulties and teasing these past few days, he had really worried that things might not progress smoothly, but thankfully it was all in the past!
After everyone had sat for a while, Di Yelei began to extend an invitation, “We’ve been talking for quite a while now, aren’t you all hungry? I have reserved a spot at the wine-house at the intersection up ahead. Let’s go there and have something to eat!”
Who knows what nonexistent person played a role?
Prince Luo of course agreed, “Let’s go! Since we are here, it’s out of the question to go out for a meal, but gathering at a wine-house for a meal is no big deal.”
Everyone then moved on to the wine-house, entering a private room and enjoying the cooked dishes.
During these days, Liu Sisi had been eating the meals prepared by her maids. Now tasting the delicious cuisines of the wine-house, she couldn’t help but repeat the word “good” several times.
Perhaps because she was in such a good mood, everything she ate seemed particularly appetizing to her.
Di Yelei and Prince Luo were drinking to each other one cup after another. By the afternoon, they were both completely intoxicated, struggling to walk without support, yet insisted on returning to Gongzhou City.
This side had also reached his limit with alcohol, but Di Yelei was still not yielding, muddled, he saw off Prince Luo and immediately collapsed onto the ground.
Everyone scrambled to help him up, hastily cramming him into the sedan chair and rushing in the direction of home.
“Princess, is there anything amiss?”
Upon receiving the news that the banquet had ended, County Magistrate Zhu had hurried over.
Liu Sisi knit her brows, “There’s nothing inappropriate about that, County Magistrate Zhu, as an official, one must perform their duties diligently. As long as you act without guilt or ill intention, that’s enough!”
“Yes, yes, thank you for your praise, Princess!”
County Magistrate Zhu repeatedly bowed in gratitude.
“I dare not accept your praise. However, I can assure you, as long as my husband and I are alive, we will strive to take the prosperity of Macheng County as our own responsibility…”
Wine does not intoxicate; people intoxicate themselves!
Liu Sisi had only sipped half a cup and was far from being drunk, but she felt overwhelmingly intoxicated.
“Mom, there’s nothing else that needs attention now, right? Should we go back home?”
Fortunately, today, Di Xuan hadn’t drunk any wine, and he quickly bade farewell to County Magistrate Zhu before carrying the drunken couple up the mountain.
With some difficulty, and County Magistrate Zhu’s escort, they eventually left Macheng, and the carriage galloped onto the official road, rushing towards home.
Liu Sisi was crying and laughing in the carriage, “Finally, there is a conclusion, Thirteen’s care for us over the years and his genuine affection for Di Xuan have not been in vain… I cannot withstand mention, it really happened as soon as it was spoken…”
Di Yelei covered his forehead, still hungover, and did not respond.
Youth is so wonderful!
–
When the carriage arrived at the Di Family home, Di Xuan called out from outside for quite a while without getting a response. Only then did he open the room door to find the couple sound asleep.
The two of them slept deeply like intertwined mandarin ducks playing in the water, their faces bearing thick smiles and a drunken satisfaction.
Our Xuan’er is finally getting married!
The two felt especially emotional, for those who had never walked this path as parents could hardly understand this mix of joy and loss.
“Xuan’er, you must treat Thirteen well… You must not bully her, understand?”
Liu Sisi was still talking drunkenly.
The child has grown up, gotten engaged, is about to get married; why does it feel so melancholy?
Although Xuan’er wasn’t her biological child, she had great expectations for him. Children making mistakes is normal, and those willing to change are good children.
But the little boy who still seemed like a child in her eyes seemed to have grown up overnight, ready to take a wife and have children. Time flies so fast…
As Di Xuan directed the maids to help, a warm current filled his heart.
“Mom, Xuan’er understands. Xuan’er will treat her well. Mom, Xuan’er promises!”
Even though he knew that Liu Sisi couldn’t hear him at the moment, Di Xuan still solemnly made his promise.
He would treat Thirteen Luo well, be good to her for a lifetime.
That was what Dad said, the most crucial first duty for a man of the Di Family.
Looking up at the sky, it seemed he hadn’t thought of his own mother in a very long time.
Now that he was engaged, he should pay his respects!
No sooner said than done, he didn’t care that it was already dark outside. Grabbing a torch and followed by several attendants, he went straight to Ms. Qiao’s grave.
“Mother, Xuan’er is getting married, the daughter-in-law is someone I’ve chosen myself, and it was Dad and mom who went to propose…”
