However, Ouyang Wu also had some questions about why Ouyang Xiu fell. Was it really an accident?
Ouyang Wu didn't want to get involved with them anymore. She was thinking about leaving, but was stopped by Sun Yaoyang.
"Fifth cousin, what? You want to leave now? No, accompany my cousin and brother for a drink. Come on, let's go." As he said that, Sun Yaoyang's hand went over without hesitation.
This ancient time was not the modern time when Ouyang Wu lived. In that era, it was normal for male and female friends to hug each other, but in this ancient time, what did this become? What kind of person did Sun Yaoyang think of her, Ouyang Wu?
Ouyang Wu was unhappy, and she instinctively wanted to remove Sun Yaoyang's claw! But reason told her that the tree that stands out in the forest must be beaten by the wind, and sometimes it is the kingly way to preserve strength and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger. So, Ouyang Wu's right hand moved slightly and put it down again.
For such a person, it is enough to outwit him, why do we need to fight him with force?
"Men and women should not touch each other, I hope you respect yourself, cousin." Ouyang Wu had a faint sarcasm on her lips, leaving Sun Yaoyang behind and went ahead. How could she not understand Sun Yaoyang's thoughts? He was standing up for Ouyang Ying and the others, and he wanted to suppress her to get back his face. If she backed down this time, she might make trouble next time, so it would be better to block it openly now.
Who else is she, Ouyang Wu, afraid of?
"Fifth sister is so brave and courageous, I admire you so much." Sun Yaoyang squinted his peach blossom eyes and approached Ouyang Wu.
"I just don't know what advice you have, cousin?" Ouyang Wu remained calm and raised her eyebrows slightly. Neither taking the initiative nor backing down, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and self-assured. This demeanor alone is not something that ordinary people can have.
King Huai'an looked at Ouyang Wu, who seemed to have been reborn, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Wasn't Ouyang Wu a love-crazy fool, uneducated, and shameless? How could he never know that the woman who used to cling to him like an idiot could easily resolve Ouyang Ying's false accusations, implicate Ouyang Xiu, and even make the two sisters turn against each other?
King Huai'an was in doubt, and his deep eyes stared at Ouyang Wu without blinking, as if he wanted to see something on her face.
However, Ouyang Wu, who had been clinging to him, now disdained him, didn't even glance at him, and ignored him like air. This treatment made King Huai'an angry and a different emotion grew, but he didn't know it yet.
Sun Yaoyang was originally a playboy in the city of Sijiu, doing all kinds of evil and doing everything. Now he was determined to get back the two sisters, so how could he care about his face? He smiled sinisterly, with one foot on the round stool, looking down at Ouyang Wu, his eyes flashing with temptation: "I haven't seen you for many days. I saw my fifth sister today. Why do I feel that my fifth sister is getting more beautiful? Since the King of Huai'an doesn't want you, how about you follow me, your brother?"
Sure enough, he is a spoiled dandy, and frivolous words are as easy as eating and drinking.
Seeing his sister being teased by her cousin, shouldn't the brother jump out to protect her? Ouyang Wu glanced at Ouyang Xuan, but only saw him telling Ouyang Ying something, and the latter nodded repeatedly. The two talked excitedly, and seemed to know nothing about the situation here.
Ouyang Wu had never counted on that brother. She smiled coldly, "Sun Yaoyang, what do you want to do? Why don't you draw a line and take advantage of me verbally? Is that interesting?" "Frank!" Sun Yaoyang clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother, I like straightforward, strong and spicy!" "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" Ouyang Wu was afraid that if she sat down any longer, she would not be able to help but break all the bones in his body, so for the safety of Sun Yaoyang's life, she said goodbye and left as the best way. However, how could Sun Yaoyang let her leave so easily? "Don't worry, fifth sister, you are just leaving like this? How embarrassing for me, your brother?" Sun Yaoyang clapped his hands, and four graceful maids came up immediately. Each of them held a red lacquer tray in their hands, and two large bowls were placed steadily on the tray. The water in the large bowls was shimmering, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the air. A row of eight large bowls were placed on the table, and the four maids left one after another.
Eight large bowls were filled with Shaodaozi, and the pungent smell could be smelled from a long distance, and the smell was so strong that it almost made people faint. Ouyang Wu secretly complained that she had originally planned to do a liquor business, but now it seemed that it would not work.
Before Ouyang Wu finished complaining, she saw Sun Yaoyang on the opposite side smiling sinisterly and strangely, "Fifth sister, how is this wine? Don't underestimate this wine. This is a secret recipe that my father found in Mobei. Others want to taste it but have no chance."
Ouyang Wu glanced at him calmly.
Sun Yaoyang smiled maliciously, "Fifth sister, this wine today is a gift from your brother. It's not too much to ask, right?"
Eight large bowls, a full eight pounds of liquor, asking her to drink it all in one breath, this is not too much to ask, then what is too much to ask? Ouyang Wu glanced around with a half-smile. Ouyang Xuan avoided her sight. Ouyang Ying smiled with gloating. Ouyang Xiu showed reluctance but his eyes were full of ridicule. As for the King of Huai'an... this man who had personally pushed Ouyang Wu into hell, Ouyang Wu understood what indifference meant.
"Why?" Ouyang Wu smiled lightly and looked at Sun Yaoyang without making a fuss or getting angry. Why should she drink if he asked her to?
"Fifth sister, do you believe it or not, if you don't drink this wine, tomorrow there will be a sedan chair to bring you to the Sun Mansion from the side door?" Sun Yaoyang's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, his face was fierce and vicious, he was not joking, his eyes were particularly serious.
Is this a threat? Ouyang Wu fully believed the consequences if Sun Yaoyang made this request.
Carrying a sedan chair into the side door is just for a concubine instead of a wife. Sun Shi is eager to do so, how can she stop it?
With Ouyang Wu's reputation, if someone took her to be a concubine, her father, whom she had not yet met, would be happy to get rid of her burden, right?
Ouyang Wu narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, so fast that no one could see it. Now there are only two options before her.
One is to leave with a wave of her sleeves, then she must be prepared to leave Ouyang Mansion and escape marriage. The other is to drink these eight bowls of strong liquor, either die of alcohol poisoning, or be bullied and humiliated after being drunk.
At present, it seems that there are only these two options, and almost everyone thinks so.
However, Ouyang Wu still has a calm and composed smile on her face, and her eyes are calm, as if this desperate situation is extremely simple for her. She slowly stood up, her thin body was as straight as a pine tree, her eyes were clear, she stared at Sun Yaoyang without blinking, her voice was steady and steady: "Mr. Sun, do you have the guts to bet with me?"
"Oh? What's the bet?" Sun Yaoyang was playful and liked to gamble, his eyes lit up instantly when he heard it.
"Let's bet on these eight bowls of liquor!" Ouyang Wu pointed to the table with great pride, "Let's bet that I can drink all the contents of these eight bowls in one breath, if I lose, you can do whatever you want, but if I win——"
"If you win, what do you want?"
"If I win, from now on, you must stay three feet away from me!" Ouyang Wu raised her chin, and every word was sonorous and powerful, full of momentum.
