Chapter 1361: I Have Some Family Matters to Handle
The sky is already late, and Bai Zhi’er plans to return to the palace.
Feng Fuce was supposed to go with her, but Bai Zhi’er left him behind.
"Brother Fu Ce, they are all waiting for you to drink with them, so you don’t need to see me off."
Feng Fuce glanced back at the courtyard.
Lei Hu and the others were standing not far away waiting for him.
Today is Chu Ping’s big day, and as the Marquis with the highest rank in the Xiuluo Guard, Feng Fuce should be present to support Chu Ping and stay until the end.
"Then I’ll have Lei Hu escort you back." He still wasn’t at ease.
Bai Zhi’er giggled and waved her hand, "No need, Brother Lei Hu also has to drink."
"Besides, my carriage is just outside, and I’ve brought two guards, there won’t be any issue."
"Don’t worry, I’m heading back now." With that, she turned and said goodbye to other friends.
Watching Bai Zhi’er’s figure disappear from the door, Feng Fuce finally returned to the banquet.
Over there, Bai Zhi’er was about to get on the carriage when Jun Kuang’s voice came from behind—
"Princess."
Bai Zhi’er turned around and saw Jun Kuang approaching, lifting his robe, she smiled gently, "Brother A Kuang, why aren’t you drinking with them for a while?"
Jun Kuang said elegantly, "A few cups of celebratory wine are better than none."
"There are still important matters tomorrow, so I can’t indulge tonight, moderation is key."
Bai Zhi’er smiled, "That’s true, but I’m about to return to the palace; if you’re leaving, why not take my carriage for a ride?"
Jun Kuang did not decline, instead, he cupped his hand and said, "Thank you, Princess, I would be impolite to refuse."
The two left together in the carriage.
At this moment, behind the door of the Chu Residence, Guoguo quietly peeked out.
Watching the carriage already far away, he couldn’t help but sigh and nod.
"No wonder the Marquis is always so vigilant, turns out there are hidden butterflies around the Princess."
Suddenly!
A hand landed on his shoulder, and Chu Ping, reeking of alcohol, leaned in, "Been looking for you everywhere, and you were hiding behind the door."
"Are you trying to dodge the drinks?" He had just been chugged a whole jar, the smell of alcohol was strong as he spoke.
Chu Ping burped in Guoguo’s face.
Guoguo waved his hand in disgust, "Don’t underestimate me! I just came out of the toilet, saw the Princess and Jun Kuang leaving together, and came to see what’s up."
Chu Ping’s eyes widened, "What? The Princess was taken? This must be reported to the Marquis immediately!"
With that, he turned around and dashed off, stumbling left and right, yet not falling.
Guoguo saw this, shouted urgently.
"Chu Ping! Stop! Don’t say anything reckless to the Marquis, it’s not what you think!" He quickly chased after.
However, Guoguo ultimately couldn’t catch up to a drunken man.
When he arrived, Chu Ping was already holding Feng Fuce’s sleeve, muttering a lot.
Feng Fuce’s expression grew increasingly sinister, causing the surrounding guests to involuntarily put down their wine cups.
What’s happening?
Why does Marquis Wan look murderous?
Is the celebration at the Chu Residence changing?
Lord Chu couldn’t help but approach, "Marquis, what happened?"
Feng Fuce downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Then he placed it heavily on the table.
He said coldly, "Nothing, I have some family matters to attend to, I’ll leave first, you all continue drinking."
With that, he strode off quickly.
Guoguo felt a tingling on his scalp.
He rubbed his head, "Crap... did I cause trouble..."
Looking at the Marquis like this, it seemed like he was going to kill someone.
