Chapter 591: Lantern Festival
Qin Zhenzhen enhanced the hangover soup by adding spirit water.
After serving a bowl to Su Bin, she personally escorted the old woman to Qin Sanlong’s room.
Observing her efforts, Qin Sanlong expressed concern, questioning why she had taken the trouble to come personally.
With a smile, Qin Zhenzhen replied, "I was concerned you might not drink it, so I came to supervise you."
She further explained the potential harm excessive drinking could inflict on the body, emphasizing the importance of consuming the hangover soup to avoid discomfort throughout the night. Qin Zhenzhen shared her modern understanding that drinking taxed the liver the most, requiring it to work overtime to break down alcohol. The long-term consequences could lead to liver lesions.
Aware that ancient people might lack this knowledge, viewing those who could hold their liquor well as heroes, Qin Sanlong obediently finished the wine soup. He admitted with embarrassment, "Little Sister, I won’t do it again."
Understanding his reference to persuading Su Bin to drink, Qin Zhenzhen reassured him with a smile.
"I understand what you mean. You are worried that I might face difficulties with Su Bin."
"Third Brother, there’s no need to worry. Su Bin is actually very good to me. I will take good care of myself, ensuring Father, Mother, and Brothers don’t have to worry."
