Chapter 268: Going To Find Father Rong At Work
The consequence of a hangover was a lingering grogginess the next day.
Of course, what was even worse was doing something foolish while drunk and still having fragments of memory upon sobering up.
Rong Zhi prided himself on being a gentleman, so even when drunk, he wouldn’t do anything out of line.
He had never lost his memory from drinking before.
But at this moment, the man leaning on the bed, one leg bent, and forehead supported by one hand, had fragments of last night’s drunken moments flashing through his mind.
Rong Zhi: …
It must be that he woke up the wrong way.
Feeling something pressing on his belly, he lowered his gaze and saw his daughter’s feet.
Rong Zhi maintained a blank expression, pretending to have amnesia.
As long as he pretended not to remember, no one would dare mention yesterday’s events in front of him.
Drowsily, Qin Wanwan woke up.
Her eyelids hadn’t even opened yet, but her small hands were patting Rong Zhi’s arm.
She mumbled coaxingly, “Daddy, be good, don’t run away from home.”
Rong Zhi was instantly struck as if by lightning!
Rong Zhi got off the bed with a serious expression, quietly tucked in the little chubby cub’s belly, and then quickly left the room.
Once outside, he resumed his usual dignified gentlemanly demeanor.
However, today he solved breakfast early and went to the palace.
Qin Wanwan looked for her father for a while after waking up, but couldn’t find him.
“Steward Uncle, Steward Uncle, where is my Rong Daddy? He didn’t really run away from home, did he!”
The steward smiled and told her, “How could that be, Miss Wanwan? What the lord said yesterday was just a joke when he was drunk. By the way, you must never mention this matter in front of the lord from now on.”
After all, their lord still had his dignity to consider.
Qin Wanwan gave a bewildered oh, relieved that her daddy hadn’t run away from home.
As for the other daddy, he was still sleeping sprawled out.
It was the aroma of breakfast that finally woke him up.
He came out without even combing his hair, wearing loose clothing.
But how to put it, people who look good, even when sloppy, have a touch of lazy casualness, making others praise their uninhibited nature.
“Bang bang bang…”
While they were eating breakfast, the door to Rong Zhi’s home was loudly knocked upon.
The person outside was shouting like Xue Yi.
“Open the door, open the door! If you have the guts to elope with our young lady, you have the guts to open the door! Miss Wanwan is ours, the property deed is all in her name! You scoundrels only know how to use schemes and tricks to deceive children…”
Suddenly remembering that she had promised the servants next door yesterday to go back for breakfast, Qin Wanwan: …
It’s over, I’m too full.
She even let out a burp.
Steward: “Miss Wanwan, please continue eating. I’ll go deal with those blind fools outside.”
Qin Wanwan jumped off the chair and grabbed Yu Wuyou’s hand, running out.
“You don’t need to drag us next door to play.”
Yu Wuyou quickly grabbed a plate of large shrimp and took it, with a rolled pancake still stuffed in his mouth.
“Mmm mmm mmm…”
Slow down.
The door opened, and the person knocking slapped the servant who opened it on the forehead.
The female steward from next door withdrew her hand, looking at the person’s face with some regret.
Why didn’t she take the opportunity to slap him in the face.
The servant who opened the door felt wronged, who did he provoke?
“Miss Wanwan.”
Upon seeing Qin Wanwan, his previously fierce voice instantly turned as gentle as water.
Who would have thought that the person who was shouting and scolding just before was her.
“We have breakfast all prepared.”
Qin Wanwan nervously rolled her eyes, “I drank a little yesterday, I forgot.”
The female steward’s eyes widened instantly, hands on her hips, eyebrows raised, her voice rose slightly, but she still showed some restraint in front of Wanwan.
“What? You’re still so young, you’re only a four-year-old baby, how can you drink alcohol?!”
Qin Wanwan felt even more guilty, “No, it was my daddy drinking, I was drinking milk. When they got drunk, I got a little drunk too.”
Female Steward: …
She thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out what the connection was.
Qin Wanwan didn’t give her a chance to speak, and pulled her towards the next door.
“I’m not hungry yet, what delicious food did you make today? Let’s give it to everyone to eat.”
Female Steward: “Miss Wanwan, you don’t need to pity us. The patriarch has never treated us poorly. Even the sweepers in our residence have a monthly salary of five taels of silver.”
The gatekeeper at Rong Zhi’s home perked up his ears, what? Even the sweepers get five taels.
Then what are their three taels of silver a month as gatekeepers?!!
A few minutes later at the dining table…
Yu Wuyou changed battlefields and continued his fight.
Qin Wanwan felt stuffed just by looking at it.
“Miss Wanwan, aren’t you going to eat anything? This young master looks like he hasn’t had breakfast.”
Qin Wanwan let out a burp, “No, no.”
Her small appetite couldn’t compare to Daddy Yu’s.
After finishing, Yu Wuyou dropped his chopsticks and slumped comfortably in his chair.
Someone would naturally come to clear the table.
“So full.”
Qin Wanwan pulled him, “Let’s go deliver food to Daddy, and help with digestion.”
Yu Wuyou didn’t want to move, but he still got up with his daughter’s pull.
“Daddy, hurry up and get ready.”
He grunted and, under the little chubby cub’s urging, changed his clothes before following to find Rong Zhi.
Naturally, they took a carriage, driven by a servant from Rong Zhi’s home.
In reality, he only needed to point the way, and Little Red would head in the direction he pointed with its head held high.
Its cleverness and beautiful physique were something outsiders couldn’t help but covet.
Many young masters in the restaurant were discussing Little Red.
“No wonder the First Prince took a liking to it. Who wouldn’t desire such a horse?”
“What breed of horse do you think this is? I heard that since last year, many dignitaries, from imperial princes to merchants, have been inquiring about it, but they haven’t found one like it.”
“I wonder if this horse has any offspring.”
“Even if it does, it won’t be for us small fry. The noble people above are all looking for it, we dandies can only appreciate it and exclaim.”
The others: …
I hate this, can’t they even fantasize a little?
Wherever Little Red went, it was the center of attention, and it even preened, quite enjoying this kind of attention.
Before going out today, it had a good bath, its fur was brushed, and it even had a beautiful braid.
Look at its mane, shining in the sun, as smooth as silk.
Keke landed on its head and tugged its ear with his claws.
“Stop being self-indulgent, watch the road, watch the road!”
There was a child ahead.
Little Red stopped and stared at the child holding candied hawthorn.
The child’s family quickly rushed out and scooped him up.
The child turned and shouted to his mother, “Mom, Daddy said he’d buy me a horse, I want one like this!”
The child’s mother: …
You’re quite good at choosing, let’s see if your father’s whip agrees when we get back.
Little Red snorted dismissively at their conversation.
Heh… child, this fine horse is beyond your reach, currently, there’s only one like me!
