Chapter 329 Dugu Moyan educates Li Chu
Li Chu knew very well that Dugu Moyan had just been adopted, but according to Dugu Jingyao, this man had always treated his two sisters very well, just like their biological brothers.
Today, Dugu Moyan has truly become their biological elder brother, and this family relationship has become even deeper. Naturally, his love and care for his two younger sisters has only increased. He simply treats them like treasures and loves them dearly.
During the meal, Dugu Moyan kept asking Li Chu all kinds of questions. His words were sharp and to the point, which made Li Chu, who was usually calm and composed, a little overwhelmed.
Despite this, Li Chu still tried to maintain a calm and composed appearance, secretly praying that this "interrogation" would end as soon as possible. However, the fine beads of sweat that quietly seeped out of his forehead still betrayed his inner nervousness.
Dugu Xin, on the other hand, was delighted to see Dugu Moyan's performance. He couldn't help but think to himself: His decision to adopt Dugu Moyan into the Yunnan Palace had been a wise one! At least for now, Dugu Moyan was truly dedicated to protecting Yao'er and Yue'er. Even if he passed away, Yao'er and Yue'er wouldn't be left alone and helpless.
As for Liu Jingyue, she silently observed all this from the sidelines. On the one hand, she felt deep sympathy for Li Chu, thinking that even such a tall and strong man could be slightly embarrassed by Dugu Moyan's constant questioning. On the other hand, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration at Dugu Moyan's formidable "combat prowess"—not only was his martial arts prowess superb, but his verbal skills were also top-notch, truly admirable. So, in her heart, Liu Jingyue silently gave Dugu Moyan a thumbs-up.
Dugu Jingyao looked at Dugu Moyan, who was scolding Li Chu with a serious face, and couldn't help feeling a surge of pity in her heart.
However, she knew that if she rashly tried to dissuade her brother now, it would likely be counterproductive and not just futile. After all, with such a powerful and protective brother as her backer, surely Li Chu would be somewhat wary of her in the future? Furthermore, if she persisted in interfering, it might only provoke even greater anger in her brother, making the situation even more difficult to handle. It would be better to let her brother vent his anger first. Once he cooled down, perhaps their relationship would improve.
On the other side, Dugu Moyan saw that Li Chu always listened to his lectures with a respectful attitude and was quite satisfied with his performance.
However, he secretly wondered, was Li Chu truly repentant, or was he just going through the motions? After all, Jingyao would be left alone in Chang'an City from now on, and he had to teach this Prince Guangping a lesson today, so that he would clearly understand that Jingyao was not a woman to be bullied. She had the solid support of her entire family behind her!
When Dugu Moyan felt that he had said everything he needed to say and had calmed down a little, he suddenly changed the subject and stared at Li Chu and asked, "Your Highness Prince Guangping, do you have any free time this afternoon?"
Li Chu was somewhat bewildered by this sudden question. Although he had no idea what Dugu Moyan meant by asking this question, a strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart. He had originally planned to lie and say that he had a lot of government affairs to deal with in the afternoon, using this as an excuse to avoid what might happen next.
But for some reason, his mouth was faster than his brain, and he said directly: "Brother Dugu, I'm fine."
Dugu Moyan smiled upon hearing this, and then ordered: "Since His Highness is fine, then Shadow, go get some good wine, and His Highness and I will have a drink together."
Li Chu secretly complained in his heart: "Oh, how could this happen? What I feared really happened! Thinking back to the amazing drinking capacity of my future father-in-law and future brother-in-law, even though my drinking capacity has improved compared to before, compared to them, it is nothing!"
However, the words were already out, and like spilled water, they were hard to take back. He knew that if he regretted it now, the little bit of goodwill he had painstakingly cultivated in the other person's mind would be completely destroyed. Such a loss-making move was truly unwise...
Thinking of this, Li Chu gritted his teeth and decided to go ahead and drink with Dugu Moyan.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Xin was naturally excited and wanted to taste the fine wine. So, the three of them placed a full pot of fragrant wine in front of them, ready to feast on it and get drunk.
Dugu Jingyao was able to keep them company for a bit, but because she was in front of her family, she didn't dare drink as recklessly as she usually did. After all, as a woman, she had to maintain a certain degree of reserve and dignity.
As for Liu Jingyue, she was even more helpless. Due to the limitations of her small body, she could only taste it lightly and sip a small cup to satisfy her craving.
Therefore, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue could only pray silently and devoutly for Li Chu in their hearts, hoping that he could face the challenge of this drinking game safely.
It turned out that Dugu Moyan wanted to drink and chat with Li Chu on purpose. When he was sober, he could still respond cautiously. But if he was drunk, wouldn't he tell the truth after drinking like last time?
Several people were chatting and drinking at the same time, but Dugu Moyan had not seen Li Chu for a long time, so he underestimated his alcohol tolerance.
After two or three pots of wine, Li Chu still didn't seem drunk at all. Dugu Jingyao said, "That's quite a lot of wine. It's broad daylight now, isn't it?"
However, Dugu Moyan just didn't believe in evil, so he ignored Dugu Jingyao's dissuasion and teased, "Jingyao, you haven't even married yet, and you're already protecting her. This won't do! Besides, His Highness and I haven't had enough fun yet."
Seeing that her persuasion was fruitless, Dugu Jingyao simply stopped trying. At worst, she could just sleep in the mansion and take care of these people herself...
Li Chu also gave Dugu Jingyao a look of "reassurance", and this scene happened to be seen by Dugu Moyan. Dugu Moyan thought: They are flirting with each other in front of me, as if I don't exist?
So Dugu Moyan ordered someone to get some more wine without hesitation. This time, after everyone finished drinking, even Dugu Moyan was a little tipsy. Li Chu was undoubtedly drunk as well. Although he didn't almost go under the table to rescue people like before, he could only barely hold up his head and chat with Dugu Moyan and Dugu Xin.
In the end, Dugu Moyan made three rules with Li Chu and even signed the agreement with Li Chu... Li Chu did as he was told, and Dugu Moyan began to treat Li Chu as his brother.
This scene made everyone around him laugh and cry. Dugu Jingyao just felt that if Li Chu woke up, he would never dare to come to the Yunnan Palace again...
