“How do you feel, any dizziness?” Han Yu hadn’t even finished asking when Su Wenyue’s complexion began to redden, her gaze somewhat hazy. Han Yu thought there was no need for an answer, anyone with eyes could see that his daughter-in-law was drunk.

Su Wenyue had indeed overestimated her tolerance for alcohol. The craving had made her rather forgetful of herself. In her previous life, she had been a heavy drinker, known for her ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. But that was in her past life. The body she inhabited now had barely touched alcohol. A small cup would have been fine, but she didn’t stop after a

large cup, and she had downed it in one gulp without pausing to eat anything in between. It would have been surprising if she weren’t drunk.

“I’m not drunk, what kind of drunk would I get from such little wine? You all underestimate me too much. I, Su Wenyue, can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Come on, let’s keep drinking, I haven’t enjoyed myself like this in a long time.”

People who are drunk usually insist they’re not, and Su Wenyue was the typical example. Even though she felt a bit dizzy, she didn’t think she was drunk, convinced that she could go on and drink another three hundred cups.

Everyone looked at Su Wenyue and found her words somewhat speechless and yet amusing. Drink another three hundred cups? Just one cup had reduced her to this sorry state, she surely thought too highly of herself.

“Lady Yue, you’re drunk. Let me help you rest, okay?” Han Yu watched as Su Wenyue’s cheeks turned into red apples, afraid she might fall off her stool, and guarded her closely.

“I told you I’m not drunk. Didn’t you understand? I’m saying, Han Yu, how can your ears be so dull at such a young age? Truly pitiful. Drink, I still want to drink. Let’s drink together. The wine brewed by the Su Family is incomparable to anywhere else.” Su Wenyue attempted to get up, then staggered over to Han Yu, breathing into his ear. If Su Wenyue wasn’t drunk, she would surely have noticed his ears turned alarmingly red.

“I’ll tell you a secret; my daddy, to welcome his beloved son-in-law, brought out the fifty-year-old wine. We should drink more of it, or it would be such a waste.”

Even though it was meant to be a whisper, everyone in the room heard it. Han Yu’s face grew a bit embarrassed. Seeing Su Wenyue continuing to sway by his side, she nearly stumbled and fell to the ground. He quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms. Su Wenyue ceased her fussing and started to doze heavily in Han Yu’s embrace, her already delicate and rosy cheeks blushing even more, making her look extremely charming and irresistibly cute, making Han Yu’s throat suddenly feel dry.

“Father and Mother, Lady Yue is drunk. Please have a servant girl show the way, I’ll take her to rest first. Also, please prepare a bowl of hangover soup.”

Upon seeing this, the lady from the An Family approached and touched Su Wenyue’s feverish cheek: “Lady Yue, this little girl is really something, pretending to be able but look how she ended up drunk. We’ve just started eating. Son-in-law, you can hand Lady Yue over to me. I’ll take her to a servant girl to help her rest, and you gentlemen can continue to drink.”

Han Yu skillfully avoided the An Family lady’s intentions. He simply scooped Su Wenyue into his arms: “No need. I’ll carry her myself, lest she gets woken up and becomes troublesome again. Father-in-law and cousin, please continue to eat. I’ll come back after settling Lady Yue down.”

Han Yu still didn’t trust anyone else to handle his daughter-in-law, even if that person was her birth mother. He sighed inwardly. It hadn’t been long, yet why had he become so fussily attentive? It was all because he couldn’t let go of the person in his arm.

The lady from the An Family, seeing Han Yu’s insistence, did not press further. She calmly made arrangements with satisfaction growing inside her. Aside from his humble background, this son-in-law was not bad in other aspects, and more importantly, he cared deeply for her daughter.

Once Su Wenyue fell asleep, she was very quiet, complacently letting Han Yu take care of her. Han Yu personally fed her a bowl of hangover soup, tucked her under the blanket, instructed the servant girl to take good care of her, and then returned to the main hall.

When Su Wenyue woke up, it was already two hours later. Because she had drunk the hangover soup before sleeping, her head didn’t hurt too much. After asking the servant girl about Han Yu’s whereabouts, who apparently was in the study room, Su Wenyue got herself tidied up and headed there, bumping into Su Hengxuan along the way.

“Second Brother, where are you off to?”

Upon seeing Su Wenyue, the corners of Su Hengxuan’s mouth curled up in a meaningful smile: “Yo, little sis, you’re awake. I was planning to check on our family’s little wine immortal, the one who boasts about not getting drunk even after three hundred cups. What an impressive tolerance.”

Even though Su Wenyue couldn’t remember what she had said while drunk, Su Hengxuan’s expression clearly indicated he was teasing her. Thinking about the potential embarrassing things she might have done, she felt her face heating up.

“If you keep making fun of me! My poor drinking tolerance is because you always forbid me from drinking. Tolerance comes with practice. I have important business with Father, so I won’t fool around with you anymore. Right, Han Yu is in the study, isn’t he? Second Brother, could you make up an excuse to send him away for a bit? I need to speak with Father alone.”

“Needing to speak alone with Father, our family’s little sis is all grown up and secretive since she got married. Alright! If little sis commands, how could I not obey? The Han family’s kid is mine to deal with.” Though curious about Su

Wenyue’s reasons for seeking Mr. Su alone, Su Hengxuan didn’t press further. His face was full of inquisitiveness, not out of nosiness but simply because he cared about his sister’s affairs.

Su Wenyue chuckled at Su Hengxuan, knowing that her brother was concerned about her: “Alright, stop looking at me like that. I just don’t want Han Yu to know for the time being, I’m not planning to keep it from you. You’ll know once you ask daddy later.”

Han Yu left the study room with Su Hengxuan, and right after that, Su Wenyue arrived: “Father.”

“My good girl is here. It was you who asked Axuan to get rid of Han Yu, wasn’t it? Do you have something you wish to discuss with Daddy alone?” Mr. Su had long seen through Su Hengxuan’s little ploy and knew that aside from his good girl Su Wenyue, nobody else would direct Su Hengxuan to act that way. Mr. Su had stayed in the study room precisely to wait for his daughter.

“Father, you’re still as sagacious and insightful as ever, nothing escapes your discernment. I indeed asked Second Brother to dismiss Han Yu because there’s something important I want to talk to you about. However, it’s something significant and rather unbelievable, to the extent that even now, I’m not sure if it’s just a ridiculous dream. But the scenes in the dream are so vivid, as if I had personally experienced them. What’s crucial is, things that I saw in my dream are actually happening, so I’m wondering if it might be the ancestral spirits showing themselves, offering warnings to us descendants!”

Su Wenyue wanted to use her foreknowledge from her previous life to gain advantages and benefits for her family and herself, but some things were simply impossible to explain clearly.. Bringing them up out of the blue wouldn’t easily convince anyone, so
