Spring Drunk Chang'an

Liu Wenrui felt that he could not wait any longer.

"If we wait any longer, that scoundrel Liu Wenbai will be entering the examination room!"

Counting on my fingers, there are only 18 days left until the Jinshi exam. "There's no time left, it's almost time!"

"I, I have to take action. I can't hesitate any longer."

In the study of Changyin Pavilion, Liu Wenrui's face turned ashen, and his expression was sometimes ferocious and sometimes fearful.

He muttered to himself and looked up at the sky.

Liu Wenbai is now the "Phoenix Egg" of the Ningguo Mansion. Liu Xiu wishes to use the strength of the entire mansion to support him. There are more than 20 servants serving him in his courtyard alone, and he even has guards around him.

Those were sent by Liu Xiu to protect him, fearing that he might encounter an accident.

Liu Wenrui, a disrespected dandy 'second son', wanted to murder Liu Wenbai without leaving any trace. Honestly...

It's hard.

"Liu Wenbai has a high opinion of himself and is petty. He, he's also..." He doesn't completely trust me. "He comes from a humble background, but he's trying to take the throne, so he's wary of me, the legitimate son!"

"me……"

It’s not easy to start.

Liu Wenrui gritted his teeth.

Liu Wenbai knows his own business. He goes to see Qu Qiutong every three days and attacks the Song family openly and secretly. How could he not be wary of Liu Wenrui?

Even though Liu Wenrui was abandoned by Liu Xiuyang and became a playboy, Liu Wenbai still maintained the deepest wariness towards this "brother".

He never drank tea in Liu Wenrui's courtyard, nor would he use anything he gave him...

"What should I do?"

How to start?

Liu Wenrui spun his beads around. "Reveal his identity? But if I do, I'm afraid Dad will hate me, and I can't use Mom or Grandmother..."

"She's an old fool and always listens to her father!"

"Dad was able to replace his son personally back then because he was bewitched by that vixen outside. No, I have to make another plan to expose him. I have to get myself out of this at least. Maybe I can use my second uncle to do that?"

"But it's too late now. Liu Wenbai will never pass the imperial examination. If he's useless, my chances will be greater. This, this..." He pondered, but before he could come up with any plan, he was in distress when suddenly, the servant outside whispered, "Second Young Master, Lianxin from the eldest lady's room is here."

"Qingru?" Liu Wenrui was startled. "What is her maid doing here?"

"I don't know." The servant whispered.

Liu Wenrui frowned and said, "Let her in."

"Yes!"

After a reply, the servant walked into the room with the maid Lianxin.

The two of them greeted Liu Wenrui in unison, "Your servants greet the Second Young Master."

"Get up." Liu Wenrui waved his hand, frowned and asked Lianxin, "What did Qingru ask you to do?"

Lian Xin stood up, her face lowered, "In reply to the Second Young Master, the eldest lady is feeling a little unwell today and has missed you very much, so she asked this servant to come over and ask the Second Young Master to go to Rongxiyuan to keep her company..."

She spoke very respectfully.

Liu Wenrui's face twisted uncontrollably for a moment.

Anger flashed in his peach blossom eyes, and his tone was somewhat sarcastic, "Haha, Qingru asked me to go over and accompany her..."

"I'm not feeling well... hehe!!"

What discomfort? What was she missing? To put it bluntly, Liu Qingru was bored and didn't want to move around, so she sent a maid to call her brother over to entertain her.

This is inappropriate.

With contempt.

"Qingru, my dear sister, haha, you really know how to judge people by their appearance."

The corners of Liu Wenrui's mouth twitched, half with coldness and half with self-mockery.

His status in the Ningguo Mansion was really low. Even his sister looked down on him. Qingru... Hehe, why didn't she dare to "summon" Liu Wenbai? It was nothing more than looking at him, him, him...

Qingru?

Liu Wenrui's face froze, his eyes narrowed. He looked at the slightly trembling Lian Xin and suddenly smiled, "Okay, I understand. Tell Qingru, I'll pack up and come over."

"Yes!" Lianxin responded and breathed a sigh of relief.

She left.

Liu Wenrui narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, driving the servant out of the house. He sat in the house for a while, then strode to the bookcase and took out a box from the bottom corner.

He opened the box, poured out some white powder from it, mixed it into the tea leaves, and then brought the tea leaves to Rong Xiju.

At that time, Old Mrs. Lai was taking a nap. Liu Wenrui did not disturb her and went directly to the side yard where Liu Qingru lived.

"Second brother, why did you come here just now?"

After entering the door, before Liu Wenrui could say anything, Liu Qingru ran over with a pouty look on her face, and said angrily: "You haven't come to see me recently, and you still want me to invite you?"

"That's too much! That's too much!"

"Second brother has something important to do!" Liu Wenrui touched his nose.

There was a strange light in his eyes.

"Serious business? Hahaha, second brother, stop teasing me. What serious business can you have? It's not like your eldest brother is going to take the imperial examination!" Liu Qingru tilted his head and laughed.

As if playing.

Liu Wenrui's mouth twitched, and his grip on the tea bag tightened. He acted calm and composed, "Qingru, this is wrong. How could you expose me?"

"If I don't take the imperial examination, does that mean I have nothing to do?"

"Daddy won't let you leave the house, what are you going to do?" Liu Qingru wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly, "Don't think I don't know. Just because you wanted to go out to play, Daddy called you over and scolded you for a long time!"

"My aunt told me everything."

"Don't try to trick me!"

"Ugh!" Liu Wenrui's eyes grew colder, and he said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Okay, okay, I can't lie to you. I was wrong, okay?"

"Of course you're wrong. You knew perfectly well that my eldest brother was taking the imperial examination, and Daddy didn't allow us to go out and play. I was so bored, and you didn't even come to accompany me!"

"You're wrong!" Liu Qingru snorted.

Seeing this, Liu Wenrui clasped his hands and begged for mercy, "It's my fault, Qingru. I apologize to you..."

"How do you apologize?" Liu Qingru opened her eyes wide and acted coquettishly.

"I have half a pound of Qingmei Haojian tea here. It's the first branch of pure tea from the old tea trees on Qingmei Mountain before the rain. It's better than tribute. A friend of mine got it and sent it to me specially!"

Liu Wenrui pulled out a teapot from his sleeve and handed it to him. "Big brother loves to drink Qingmeihaojian tea the most. This tea has the effect of clearing the eyes and brightening the mind. He is about to take the imperial examination. I was planning to give it to him as a gift, but..."

"Who made our Qingru unhappy? I'll give this tea to you."

"You're old enough now, it's time to try some good tea instead of drinking those flower-infused ones all day long."

“Not elegant enough.”

"Is this the tea that big brother likes?" Liu Qingru's eyes lit up, a little skeptical. "I remember that big brother likes to drink Lu'an Guapian?"

"He drinks Lu'an Guapian because he couldn't get Qingmeihaojian!" Liu Wenrui put his hands behind his back and smiled complacently.

The production of fine, clear, and sharp Dingqian tea is only two kilograms a year, and even the emperor can't drink it...
