Chapter 1405: Wait Until Next Time
He Qing had expected her mother to scold her.
Instead, her mother only patted her head and sighed. She opened her mouth several times, but ultimately said nothing.
After they returned to the mountain, her mother ignored her drinking, which left He Qing somewhat at a loss.
Her mother's reaction was completely out of character.
This kept He Qing wondering for a long time. But as the years passed, the incident seemed to slowly fade. She stopped dwelling on it, even though she still had no idea why her mother had acted that way.
He Qing continued to drink, heading down the mountain to fetch wine every so often.
This continued until Huaixu of that year.
She went down the mountain to fetch wine just like always.
When she reached the entrance, she found the door of the Wine Tavern slightly ajar. Someone had opened it at some point.
