"Dad, dad said... he said, if you don't drink, you're disrespecting him. My dad can be quite stubborn, so I hope you'll forgive his bull-headedness. Down this glass."
Even someone as experienced as Lie Fengzi became so shy that he stammered. However, seeing him like this only strengthened her resolve.
Ji Lingkong knew very well that in his foster father's camp, this duke was a very important figure. Even his father gave him some respect, so naturally, he had to do the same.
He took the glass, drank it in one go, and downed three glasses in a row.
"Duchess, please leave!" He forced himself to stay upright, closed his eyes, and said indifferently.
After those three glasses, a strong wave of alcohol surged up, gradually shattering his hardened will. His body felt light and unstable, and his head started to spin.
He did not like this feeling of losing control.
