Spring Drunk Chang'an

The Liu family members took action quickly.

Liu Ai and Liu Laishun, along with Liu Wang'er, prepared gifts and planned to go to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion to thank the prince first, and then go to Zhang Changqing.

Liu Changan naturally returned to the Ningguo Mansion.

Liu Sanxi went to inform the four leaders and eight miles, as well as friends who had a good relationship with the Liu family.

The family members smiled happily, left the house hand in hand, and went their separate ways.

They acted very low-key, neither shouting nor laughing wildly. However, the gongs, drums and firecrackers from the government office had already "woken up" the entire lane of Ju Ning. From the beginning to the end of the street, those who had good relations came out to ask questions directly, while those who had bad relations peeked through the cracks in the doors.

Everyone knows that Liu Wangcheng passed the exam.

"Did he really pass the exam?"

"We all come from slave families, but he, he's actually going to be an official?"

"Liu Laishun, a man who can't even do anything with a beating, how could he give birth to such a good son?"

"Qingmei is good, she has finally made it."

"I think Chang'an was born with good fortune. Qingmei and Laishun were married for three years without having children. After picking her up, she brought Wang'er and Sanxi here. It's also her credit that Wang'er was able to escape from being a member of the official family and go to school. This child is really a blessing for the family. It's a pity that I don't have a son. Otherwise, marrying her into the family might even help improve our status."

"Haha, sister-in-law, please stop saying that. I'm afraid that family must be regretting it now."

Someone pursed his lips meaningfully.

The people who listened to her looked at the Xia family in tacit understanding, and covered their mouths and laughed.

The sound was undisguised and quite loud.

Inside the tightly closed gate of the Xia family's courtyard, Xia Mu suddenly raised his fist and hit the courtyard wall hard, his teeth almost bleeding.

His eyes bulged bloodshot as he muttered like a demon, "I can't wait any longer!! I can't!! I'm the best, I'm the one who's going to be an official. Liu Wang'er, he's a piece of crap!"

"He's not even worthy enough to compete with me!!"

"How could he pass the imperial examination? The Liu family!! Liu Changan, a lowly family, also wants to rise to the top!"

"dream!!"

“It’s all a dream!!”

"I won't allow it!"

-

Liu Wang'er and his group arrived at Duke Cheng'en's Mansion first. When Song Chengji found out, he was surprised and relieved for now. However, the Duke Ningguo's Mansion was in an uproar.

When Liu Changan came to announce the good news, his first stop was naturally the main courtyard.

"Oh my God? Really? This is really great! Wang'er has really made it big. Qingmei won't know how happy she will be."

When Song heard this, her cheeks turned red with joy, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy. She held Liu Chang'an's hand and gave him sincere blessings excitedly.

Liu Changan couldn't stop smiling.

Until now, she still felt a bit dreamy, as if she was walking on clouds, light and airy.

Her son Wang'er is so promising!

He is a genius at reading.

Those princes and sons of noble families were no match for him. He was too ambitious, which made it seem even more regrettable that he had ended up like that in his previous life, and how despicable the Liu family was.

Especially Liu Wenrui.

He destroyed Wang'er because of his talent.

Liu Changan felt resentful in his heart, but when he thought about the Crown Prince's decisiveness, he felt that it was nothing.

This life is different from the previous one. Liu Wenrui will be hunted down by Liu Wenbai, while her younger brother Wang'er has become "Chengjin" and is waiting to become an official.

"...Chang'an, it was thanks to the old lady that Wang'er was able to escape from his official duties. Come with me to Rongxiyuan and kowtow to the old lady."

Song said suddenly.

It's not that I really think Old Lady Lai is indebted to Liu Wang'er, but...

Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and human feelings are learned.

If Liu Wang'er wants to enter the court, he must learn how to deal with human relationships.

Being grateful to his old master did not harm his reputation. In fact, if Song had not been prepared to turn against the Ningguo Mansion at any time, she would have introduced Liu Wang'er to Liu Xiu.

For a minor official who has just entered the court, making friends with the nobles is like leaning against a big tree.

"...Ah, thanks to Madam's reminder, it's time for the old lady to kowtow!" Liu Chang'an instantly understood what Song meant and quickly responded. Her almond-shaped eyes turned slightly as she said, "I'll go and announce the good news first. When Wang'er comes back, I'll let him into the mansion to kowtow."

"Ok!"

Song nodded with a smile and replied, "I'll go with you."

The two walked out of the room one after the other, crossed the garden, and soon arrived at Rongxiyuan.

At that time, Aunt Lai and Liu Qingru were chatting and laughing with Old Lady Lai, flattering her...

Old Lady Lai had a distant cousin who was an old concubine in the palace. She was good friends with the Empress Dowager, and the old concubine also took care of Emperor Yingwu when he was young.

Later, the Empress Dowager passed away, and Emperor Yingwu transferred his affections to her and became very filial to her.

Aunt Lai and Liu Qingru hope that during next year's selection, Old Lady Lai can ask the old concubine to take care of her, and she has been particularly attentive recently!

When Liu Qingru acted like a spoiled brat, acted cute and funny, and made the old lady laugh so hard that she couldn't stop laughing, the atmosphere was so good...

Song and Liu Changan are here.

Old Lady Lai's smile faded slightly, and she asked gently, "What happened that you came at this hour?"

"Grandma, Chang'an is here to tell you the good news!" Song smiled happily.

Old Lady Lai, "Happiness, where does happiness come from?"

Or was it a maid who reported it?

She is very confused.

Aunt Lai and Liu Qingru also looked at each other in surprise.

Liu Qingru's expression showed some resentment and jealousy.

She hadn't been having a good time recently, being scolded by her father, having to please others, and learning the rules. She was so exhausted that her complexion had turned pale, unlike Liu Changan who was radiant and rosy!

This is truly outrageous!!

A maidservant, yet she looks more respectable than her master! !

Song Shi didn't notice her daughter's strange behavior. She smiled and pushed Liu Chang'an out. "Old lady, let Chang'an tell you..."

"Ah?" Old Mrs. Lai was even more confused.

He looked Liu Chang'an up and down, thinking to himself: Could it be that his daughter-in-law secretly gave this girl to Wen Bo or Wen Rui? She is pregnant now, and he is going to have a great-grandson, so he came to announce the good news?

It shouldn't be.

Wenbo and Wenrui are both good kids, so he would not hide the fact that he was taking in a concubine from them. Besides, how could he allow a concubine to have a child when the wife was not yet married?

Is the Song family confused?

Or, she gave Liu Changan to Xiu'er, oh, that's normal!

It's also good to have a illegitimate grandson.

Old Mrs. Lai smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Aunt Lai also thought of that. Her charming eyes widened instantly, revealing a look of panic, and her breathing almost stopped.

Report, good news?

She looked at Liu Changan's belly as if he were a fairy, and was panicked for two seconds. Then, joy appeared in her eyes again.

Very good!

The incestuous relationship between father and daughter will result in the birth of a monster. Then, she can frame Liu Changan as a monster, saying that the monster he gave birth to will bring misfortune to the Duke's Mansion, and let the Duke execute her.

Even the Song family couldn't stop it.

Her troubles will be gone forever.

Aunt Lai bit her lip, her expression revealing anticipation.

Liu Changan looked up and saw her appearance. He couldn't help but frown and became alert.
