Chapitre 26: Chapter 26, Wine emboldens the cowardly heart

Dusk closed in as Ye Huang returned home. Upon entering, he was greeted by a strong scent of alcohol. Ye Huang asked, "Who's drinking?"

"It's the Young Mistress. She visited her parents' home today, and since coming back, she's been drinking on the balcony, non-stop till now," Housekeeper Qin said, gesturing towards the family bar on the terrace.

Ye Huang looked over to see Bai Xiao slumped over the bar, her face not visible, and a pair of smooth, pale long legs swinging about. There were three empty wine bottles on the table.

So this woman had actually drunk three bottles of red wine!

Ye Huang's gaze turned coldly towards Housekeeper Qin.

"Young Master Ye, the Young Mistress said she was feeling down and only drinking could help. Also, she would cry if we didn't let her drink... we had no other choice," Housekeeper Qin explained in a low voice, visibly apprehensive.

Ye Huang strode over, his entire being radiating with anger.
