Su Wenxiu genuinely believed so, but he could smell the wine's rich aroma from the jar his sister held even before she opened it. He felt it was more fragrant than any wine he had drunk.
Su Binglan knew her second brother was being serious. She said, "You can drink some today since we brewed this wine. I'll watch over you when you drink, but you can't see any patients until you're sober."
Since there were no doctors in the surrounding villages and Hundred Herbs Hospital was closed at night, those feeling unwell would have to visit Su Wenxiu.
That was why Su Binglan was apprehensive about letting him drink. Still, she only allowed him to drink tonight because her brothers and father would be drinking too.
