Chapter 1184: Drinking Daughter's Red Wine, Fairy Jinghuan Appears
There are five sisters named Xing Zhong, and Xing Zhong is the oldest.

Xing Zhong's mother died shortly after giving birth to Xing Zhong.

Later, Xing Zhong's father remarried and married Lady Xing's mother, who gave birth to Lady Xing's four siblings.

As the eldest sister, Mrs. Xing took care of the household chores after her parents died. More than ten years ago, she married Jia She, who had just lost his wife.

The youngest one, Xing Dequan, was a spendthrift even worse than Xing Zhong. He squandered the family fortune early on and had to bring his entire family to Beijing to seek refuge with his eldest sister.

Under the arrangement of Madam Xing, Xing's second sister married a poor man. She lived a very tight life and needed help from Madam Xing to survive.

Sister Xing San is not bad looking, just like Xing Yuyan, both are beautiful.

Unfortunately, Third Sister Xing has been in poor health since childhood and is always sickly. She is almost thirty years old and still hasn't gotten married.

Whenever there was something lively in Rongguo Mansion on weekdays, Mrs. Xing would call her third sister Xing Sanjie to the mansion to play with her.

During the day, Su Mingzhe met Xing Yanyan. She looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. This was because he had seen Xing Third Sister in Rongguo Mansion, but they were not familiar with each other.

The misunderstanding was resolved.

Xing Zhong once again ordered his wife to prepare some wine and food to entertain the guests.

This time, Xing Zhong's wife and Xing Yuyan quickly killed fish and chickens and prepared a few hot dishes.

It was just that Xing Zhong was a heavy drinker and drank all the wine in the house. It was already late at night and the market had been closed for a long time, so there was no place to buy anything.

With no other options, Xing Zhong’s wife called her husband out and told him about her difficulties.

When Xing Zhong heard that there was no wine at home, he felt embarrassed and turned around several times. Suddenly he thought of something and said to his wife:

"There are still two jars of wine in the cellar. Let's take them out for emergency use."

When Xing's wife heard that the man was going to touch the wine in the cellar, she immediately lost her voice and said anxiously:

"Shopkeeper, that's the daughter's red wine that will be used when Yu Yan gets married. What do you mean by using it to entertain Master Bao? Do you want your daughter to be Master Bao's mistress?"

Xing Yuyan, who was lighting the stove nearby, heard her parents' conversation and looked at her father in panic.

Although Su Mingzhe is handsome and powerful, and is the top scorer in the imperial examination, Xing Yuyan does not want to be someone's mistress.

Xing Zhong explained helplessly:
"Isn't there any wine at home to entertain the guests? Let's use this wine as a last resort. Tomorrow I'll go to the city and buy two more jars. No one else will know about this!"

When Xing's wife heard that her husband said it was a temporary solution and the matter was indeed urgent, she thought for a moment and could only nod in agreement reluctantly.

After all, for the Xing family, Su Mingzhe's status is too noble, and it would be very rude to have food but no wine.

After Xing Zhong and his wife had discussed the matter, they went down to the cellar to get their own daughter's red wine.

Neither of them noticed that Xing Yuyan, who was lighting a fire, suddenly became resentful and shy. In the end, she could only throw all her emotions into the fire along with a handful of firewood!
Not long after.

Xing Zhong brought out two jars of girl's red wine and poured them for Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe didn't ask that many questions.

After eating and drinking, it was already the hour of Hai.

However, today is May 15th, the night of the full moon.

Su Mingzhe and Xing Zhong's family of three said goodbye and returned to the sailboat to rest under the moonlight.

On the second day.

After the ritual was completed, Aunt Liu took the depressed Lin Daiyu back to the boat to rest for a night.

Another day passed.

The sailboat then set sail and returned to Yangzhou.

Mid June.

Lin Ruhai's transfer order finally came down, confirming that he was promoted to the post of Hubei Grain Commissioner.

Su Mingzhe brought Lin Daiyu back to the capital from Yangzhou.

Before leaving, Aunt Liu loaded all the dowry that Jia Min left for her daughter onto the boat.

In addition, Aunt Liu also arranged more than 30 maids and servants to serve as Lin Daiyu's companions.

At night.

Su Mingzhe returned to the main cabin of the sailboat to rest. Before he took off his shoes and went to bed, Xiren and several maids said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Second Master! Congratulations, Second Master! You have won the imperial examinations for a big success and a small success!"

"Just say this in front of me, don't say it outside!"

Su Mingzhe knew that Lin Daiyu was sentimental and was feeling sad about the separation. If she heard these teasings, she would definitely not be able to bear it and would probably be upset with him for a few days. "We know!"

Qianxue suddenly spoke:
"Second Master, when the servants of the Lin Mansion delivered Miss Lin's dowry onto the ship today, I counted it and it was a full 120 boxes!"

Qi Xian was a bit sentimental and sighed:

"This is what we call a thousand acres of fertile land and ten miles of red makeup! We maids don't know how much merit we need to accumulate to have such a beautiful life in the next life!"

Seeing the different expressions on the faces of the girls, Su Mingzhe immediately said teasingly:

"You don't have this opportunity, but you can work hard with me to make your daughter have such a glorious life!"

The women understood what the man meant and immediately looked at him with seductive eyes, crowding towards him.

Another sleepless night.

End of June.

Everyone returned to Chang'an City.

Before they reached Rongning Street, Qingwen, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly changed her expression and sent a message to Su Mingzhe in a panic:

"Second Master, Grandma Rong is gone!"

"Who's gone?"

Su Mingzhe reacted, somewhat puzzled, and quickly asked through voice transmission:

"Qin Keqing has always been in good health, and with your feathered robe protecting her, it is impossible for her to lose her virginity. How could she be gone?"

"I don't know the specific reason."

Qingwen said with a bitter face:

"Anyway, Yu Yi just sent a message saying that Qin Keqing died three days ago. Now Yu Yi can only protect her body from decaying!"

"Then go and see what's going on!"

Although Su Mingzhe could not touch Qin Keqing because of her identity, he was unwilling to see the most beautiful woman in the Red Mansion die.

Qingwen did not dare to delay and summoned a clone to sit in the carriage in her place. She herself became invisible and rushed towards the location where her feather robe came from.

An hour later.

Qingwen came back in a daze, and when she saw Su Mingzhe, she said dejectedly:

"My dear Master Bao, our identities have been exposed!"

"Exposed?"

Su Mingzhe's face changed:
"Did it be Fairy Jinghuan who knew, or Fairy Keqing who knew?"

"Did they know that we are time travelers, or did they know our identities?"

"I know everything!"

Qingwen sighed and recounted what had happened when she went to look for Yuyi just now.

Based on her connection with Yuyi, she came all the way to Qin's Mansion and saw Qin Keqing's body lying in the coffin.

After asking the people in the Qin residence, I learned that because Qin Keqing had been unable to consummate her marriage with her husband, they had been childless for two years after their marriage.

In May, Jia Rong could not bear the pressure anymore, and Jia Zhen had lost interest in Qin Keqing, so he wrote a letter of divorce and sent Qin Keqing home.

Qin Keqing was divorced and sent home. Not long after that, she developed hysteria and became confused.

A month later, she passed away.

After Qingwen learned the news, she had just put away her feathered robe when she was caught by the waiting Fairy Jinghuan and taken directly to the Land of Illusion for questioning.

The Fairy Jinghuan is in charge of the Grand Illusionary Realm, and her cultivation has reached the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Faced with the huge gap in power, Qingwen couldn't even tell a lie.

When she learned that she was actually a character derived from a novel, Fairy Jinghuan was silent for a moment and didn't say much. She just asked Qingwen and Su Mingzhe to go and talk to her after they finished the game of mortal world.

"In that case, let's wait until this life is over before we talk about it!"

When Su Mingzhe heard that there was no need to respond immediately, he immediately became heartless and told Qingwen not to think about it anymore.

As the saying goes, drink today and worry about tomorrow when it comes.

Qingwen was not a fool. Seeing that Su Mingzhe was just a Golden Immortal and didn't care about a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, she looked dazed for a while and then lowered her head as if thinking about something.
