The elderly Duchess of Anguo, upon hearing about the transfer of the marriage agreement, nearly coughed up blood.
Her vision darkened, and her mind became muddled as she trembled, commanding with a shaky finger, "Where is Qin Huan? Have him come see me!"
The butler, upon receiving the order, hurriedly went to summon Qin Huan.
Qin Huan, carried back to the Duke of Anguo's residence, stumbled over the threshold and, feeling the delayed effects of the alcohol, collapsed onto the ground and passed out.
No matter how the butler shouted, he couldn't wake him and had to carry him to see the elderly Duchess.
Seeing Qin Huan as inebriated as a pig, the Duchess trembled with fury, "Splash him awake!"
The butler whispered a reminder, "My Lady, the young master is drunk, water might not work. Only sobering soup will do."
The Duchess's heart seized, "Then hurry and bring the sobering soup!"
She needed to know what had really happened, and fast!
