......
The next morning, when Lady Li woke up, she found her husband missing from her side. She searched everywhere for him, but Mo Si was nowhere to be found in any of the rooms.
"Where could my husband have gone so early in the morning?" Lady Li muttered to herself.
Just at that moment, the front door was loudly kicked open, and Mo Si stumbled in, hugging a wine pot, completely drunk...
"Drink, drink, keep drinking," he slurred drunkenly.
"Oh my! You deadbeat, why did you go off to drink so early in the morning?" Lady Li hurriedly went over to support him.
Two villagers who had helped bring him back followed and said upon hearing Lady Li, "It's not just early in the morning; your husband has been drunk all night."
Lady Li laughed and said, "What nonsense are you spouting! My husband was home last night. How could he have been drinking all night? You're exaggerating way too much."
