The elder Mr. Tang couldn’t drink, so he could only watch, feeling downcast, as a group of people clinked their glasses and took turns drinking.

“Fifth Master Jiang, I heard that you were a great help when Uncle Tang was in the hospital, even specially inviting experts from Beijing. I’d like to toast to you,” Shen Shuci said, holding her wine glass.

“Sorry, it’s been getting colder recently, and I’m not feeling very well. I took some medicine and should avoid alcohol,” Jiang Jinsang replied, holding a teacup, “I’ll drink tea in place of wine as my toast to you.”

Shen Shuci raised her eyebrows slightly, she knew Jiang Jinsang was deliberately keeping his distance from her, not wanting to get too close, but she wasn’t annoyed.

“I’ve heard the Forbidden City in Beijing is beautiful. I’ve never been there,” Shen Shuci kept looking for topics to discuss.

Jiang Jinsang merely responded perfunctorily, but his gaze remained fixed on Tang Wan.

Tang Wan, for some reason, had drunk quite a bit. She could handle her liquor very well, so a few drinks weren’t a problem, and everyone let her be. However, when they came to their senses, they realized she might have drunk too much.

When they were leaving and settling the bill, Tang Wan was a bit unsteady, but still had her wits about her. Shen Shuci supported her, and the two got into the same car.

…

Upon arriving at the old mansion, Tang Wan had drunk far too much, and Shen Shuci helped her back to her room to rest. Since they lived in the same courtyard, Jiang Jinsang and Jiangjiang were also present.

“Sister, are you alright?” Jiangjiang leaned over the edge of the bed and touched her face, “Your face is so hot.”

“She drank too much. That’s why children should never drink alcohol, understand?” Shen Shuci said with a laugh, pinching Jiangjiang’s little face.

After spending the day together, she found the child rather likable and clever, but she couldn’t say the same for his father’s reputation. She truly didn’t understand how such a man could have such an adorable child.

Entirely wrapped in blankets, Tang Wan had a flushed face, seemingly passed out from the alcohol.

“Let’s go outside, Fifth Master,” Shen Shuci said after making sure Tang Wan was settled, not intending to leave Jiang Jinsang behind.

“Hmm,” Jiang Jinsang nodded. Anyway, once Shen Shuci left, he could still come back.

But he didn’t expect Shen Shuci to follow up with, “I heard from Wanwan that you have done extensive research on Qing history. I’m very interested, could we talk about it?”

“It’s quite late, I’m afraid that would be inconvenient,” Jiang Jinsang flatly refused.

Shen Shuci suddenly leaned in close to him and whispered, “It seems brother-in-law is still unaware of your feelings for Wanwan…”

Jinsang clenched his teeth, “Where
