Chapter 1549: Chapter 1371: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

After soaking for a while, she got out of the tub and got dressed again.

However, just as she was about to lie back in bed for a bit, her vision suddenly blurred, and with a "thud," she fell to the floor, before losing consciousness.

Yun Xiao, who had been guarding outside, heard the noise and immediately rushed in.

He had thought that another assassin had broken through the window, but to his surprise, he saw Xia Dabao lying on the ground, motionless, her face pale as death.

He hurried over and picked her up.

Looking at the still figure in his arms, he frowned and cursed internally, "I told you that you would regret it sooner or later, now do you realize it’s serious? Why is your whole family so naive?"

He carried her to the bed and laid her down. Only then did she show some response, turning over and muttering, "Xiao’ai, what... what did you write in your letter?"

A letter? What letter?

Yun Xiao watched Xia Dabao, but she just turned over and then passed out again.

He checked her eyelids, took her pulse for a while, and then pressed a few acupoints on her body, channeling his energy into her. He watched as her complexion slowly returned to a healthy flush, then turned around and left.

As he closed the door, he wondered, who is Xiao’ai?

The young master from Dragon Tooth Gang?

Hmm, he was about her age and handsome too, they would indeed make a good match.

Kids, all of them!

...

When Xia Dabao woke up, it was already the next morning.

She felt that her head wasn’t as dizzy, and her breath had stabilized a lot.

Seeing her awake, Peony hurriedly brought over water for Xia Dabao to wash her face. Peony also said that Axian had woken up briefly in the early hours and even went to the toilet on his own, but he was very quiet and did not wake Xia Dabao.

Xia Dabao looked at Axian next to her and kissed his forehead, then felt her stomach rumble with hunger.

She wondered if a big meal might help her feel better.

"What’s there to eat today?" Xia Dabao asked Peony.

Peony replied, "There’s definitely pork liver and lean meat congee, but besides that, what else would Lady Dabao like to eat?"

The mention of pork liver made Xia Dabao feel nauseous, so she propped her chin in her hands and thought a moment, "Do you have any geese here? I want to eat goose meat."

"Goose? We should have some. I’ll have someone catch one right now, but..." Peony said tentatively, "you should eat the pork liver congee first."

"Alright, alright, and after the goose arrives, separate out the blood for me to nourish my body. Oh, and bring a bottle of rice wine!"

Xia Dabao thought of another way to torment Yun Xiao.

...

There are many ways to eat goose, one of which is drunken goose.

Take the cooked goose meat, pour in the sauce and rice wine, cover the pot, add more wine, then cover and simmer for a while. Then use a fire stick to light it; the alcohol inside will ignite, creating a fierce flame on the surface of the goose until the alcohol burns off.

During this process, the scent of the alcohol would drift everywhere, filling the courtyard with the aroma of wine, surely unbearable for Yun Xiao.

Peony and Camellia naturally wouldn’t know how to prepare this dish, so this time it was Xia Dabao who took charge of the cooking.

When she carried a pot of goose meat, fragrant with the rich smell of wine, to the stone table on the terrace, Yun Xiao’s bewitching face nearly turned green.

Xia Dabao didn’t call for Yun Xiao; she simply picked up the chopsticks and started eating on her own, blowing on it and saying, "Mmm, delicious, delicious. I can’t finish such a big goose by myself. If anyone wants to eat, come on over; one goose is enough for four or five people!"
