Chapter 582: 582: Getting Mu Jian Drunk
Everything was naturally taken care of by Jiang Ruobai.
Jiang Ning heard about it and let it be.
Before her return, Jiang Ruobai had given all his fatherly love to Jiang Yuan, so he certainly wouldn’t treat her poorly.
After the banquet, Lingzi came back with a sweaty head, leaned on Jiang Ning’s side, and her eyes were a little blurry as she said in a childish voice, “Mom, I’m sleepy.”
“Good girl, let mom hold you.” Jiang Ning hugged her onto her lap and looked for Wenzan’s figure with her eyes. She saw him sitting on a small stool, his little face tense, but also staring straight ahead.
Seeing him struggling to stay awake, Jiang Ning felt both pity and amusement. She quickly ordered Dongxie, Xiaoman, and the wet nurses to take them to the side rooms to sleep.
Lin Zizi was full of thought about her daughter and said, “Why don’t you not go back to the palace tonight and stay at home for a night?”
“Mom, I don’t want to go either. Our home is much more comfortable.” Jiang Ning smiled, “But, I have no choice. I have to go back. It took me a lot of effort to ask the Crown Prince for just one day.”
Lin Zizi displeasedly said, “What Crown Prince! Doesn’t he, as a father himself, understand the feelings of other parents missing their daughters? I’ve never liked the Crown Prince…”
She was an otherworldly person, but as soon as it involved her daughter, she immediately became no different from any ordinary woman.
“Zizi, don’t talk about the Crown Prince like that, even though he’s your son-in-law. Hurry up and shut your mouth.” Here, only Madam Ge of the Jiang Family could restrain her.
Lin Zizi’s temperament was somewhat naive and ignorant of world affairs, and she only had her husband and children in her heart. She felt sorry for her daughter, who had to live like a prisoner in the palace, and how reluctant she was to let go when she finally came back.
She simply went to the front courtyard to find Jiang Ruobai and bluntly asked him to let her daughter stay for the night. As for the problem in the palace, she asked Jiang Ruobai to solve it.
Jiang Ruobai had no choice but to comply with his beautiful wife.
He repeatedly agreed, “It’s just for one night, what’s the big deal? Just stay with your daughter at ease. For the palace, I will handle it.”
Only then did Lin Zizi return contentedly.
In the warm pavilion, under the joint efforts of Jiang Eldest Son, Jiang Third Son, Jiang Fourth Son, Jiang Eighth Son, and a group of prodigal sons, Mu Jian was finally drunk.
Jiang Fourth Son gnashed his teeth, belched, and said with a thick tongue, “This Mu Jian has such a high alcohol tolerance. After several jars, I couldn’t handle it.”
Jiang Third Son Jiang Yi’s expression was clear as he laughed, “Isn’t that obvious? Can you compare his physical strength to yours? If you were stronger than him, you would be the commander of the Right Imperial Guards, not him.”
“Pah.” Another prodigal son at the table pinched the wine jug, stood up, walked to Mu Jian who was lying drunk on the table, and kicked him, “I’ve been annoyed with this guy for a long time. What ability does he have? He comes from humble origins and just relies on his friendship with the Crown Prince since childhood to bully others. In the end, he’s still just a dog!”
The Jiang family’s young masters were all born noble and had connections with the prodigal sons of the royal and noble families in Chang’an City. Mu Jian, on the other hand, came from humble beginnings and followed the Crown Prince all day. His cold face couldn’t tolerate these prodigal sons.
They weren’t on the same path at all.
Jiang Fourth Son invited them over, saying that they wanted to prank Mu Jian by getting him drunk and making him mess up. These prodigal sons, who had long been annoyed with Mu Jian, were naturally more than happy to oblige.
Besides, eating, drinking, and having fun was what they were best at.
