Chapter 637, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping
After drinking a glass of fruit wine, Lin Jiu felt as if her cheeks had been roasted by fire, and they were slightly hot.
Although the fruit wine wasn't very strong, she was simply someone who couldn't hold her liquor!
In the past, when she had spiritual power, she could use it to sober up, but this world has no spiritual energy at all, and even the Heavenly Dao does not allow anything outside of this world to appear, so her space is in a completely closed state.
Moreover, if Yinzhen had been there to look after him in the past, he wouldn't have lost his composure like this.
However, since Yinzhen was not present, and with no one to supervise him, Lin Jiu couldn't help but drink a few more sips, and ended up getting a little drunk.
She supported her forehead with one hand, trying to stay awake.
A gentle breeze caressed my face, bringing a touch of coolness that gradually dissipated the heat, and my mind became clearer than before.
Just then, a maidservant came rushing toward the Eighth Princess Consort in a panic and whispered in her ear, "Princess Consort, something terrible has happened! The second young lady of the Ma'ertai family and Princess Mingyu somehow got into a fight and ended up falling into the lake together!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Luoluo Minghui's face instantly stiffened. She abruptly stood up from her seat, looked apologetically at the ladies present, and said urgently, "I am truly sorry, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law! Something has suddenly happened at my residence, and I must rush back to deal with it. Please forgive me!"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what had happened to cause even the usually proud and arrogant Guo Luoluo Minghui to change her expression.
However, despite their doubts and confusion, their irrepressible curiosity remained undiminished.
The Crown Princess broke the silence first, a gentle yet kind smile playing on her lips. She said softly, "It's alright, Eighth Sister-in-law, just go ahead and do your work. We sisters happen to have nothing to do, so it's good for us to go together. Maybe we can even do our part."
Before he finished speaking, the other wives echoed his sentiments, expressing their willingness to go along as well.
After all, sitting still in one place all the time is really boring. Now that there are such new things to do to pass the time and relieve boredom, why not?
Faced with the enthusiastic words of the wives, Guo Luoluo Minghui's smile became increasingly stiff and unnatural, as if it had been forcibly pulled up.
However, given that the other party was the Crown Princess, who held an extremely high status, he could not bring himself to contradict or disobey her. He had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and remain silent.
At the same time, what the maid had just said kept replaying in her mind—she was really worried about her younger sister Mingyu's condition!
Thinking of this, Guo Luoluo Minghui had no time to care about anything else. She hurriedly followed the maid who was leading the way and quickly left towards the door.
At this moment, Lin Jiu, who was still half-drunk and half-awake, finally came to her senses.
She composed herself, gathered her thoughts, and then followed the group, walking closely at the back of the line.
Along the way, Lin Jiu's eyes were thoughtful. She had sharp ears and naturally heard what the maid said: "The second young lady of the Ma'ertai family seems to be the female lead in the drama!"
It seems the plot has begun. Thinking of this, Lin Jiu also became interested in watching the show. The live-action version of the plot is much more interesting than what you see on the screen.
"Let her see what this female lead is like," Lin Jiu thought to herself.
