Spring Drunk Chang'an

Aunt Lai is wishful thinking.

Liu Chang'an frowned and thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't guess what she was planning.

Nothing should have happened recently?

His Highness and his wife have always protected her, and no one in the mansion bothered her. Even someone as willful as Liu Qingru would only glance at her coldly and make a few sarcastic remarks when she saw her.

Won't take direct action.

Could it be that Aunt Lai discovered something, a mistake that she hadn't noticed?

Liu Changan became alert.

Beside him, Mrs. Song didn't notice at all, she was laughing happily, "Come on, Chang'an, tell me about Wang'er and make the old lady happy!"

"Everyone should share in your joy~~"

"Uh..." Liu Chang'an looked back with a complicated expression.

Madam, you've learned bad things, madam! Liu Wenbai, the crown prince, suffered from diarrhea and missed work, while Wang'er, a slave from the imperial court, passed the imperial examination. Are you sure this is a happy event for the Duke's Mansion?

Will the old lady be happy?

She'll be mad...

Hmm~~

It's not bad to be angry to death, madam, that's what you think~

Liu Changan's red lips curled slightly. Amidst the looks of Old Madam Lai, Aunt Lai, and Liu Qingru, who were either impatient or secretly delighted, she took a deep breath. She lifted her skirt slightly, bent her knees, and deliberately put on a beaming expression, saying joyfully, "This servant has good news for the old lady..."

"My elder brother, Liu Chengjin, has passed the imperial examination this year and has been registered with the government!"

"I came specially to give the old lady a gift. It was because of her kindness and generosity that she released Cheng Jin from the imperial court. That's why he has achieved what he has today and can become an official..."

"Liu Chengmian?" Old Mrs. Lai's eyes widened, and her wrinkled face stretched out in surprise. She suddenly straightened up, "Then, who is that?"

Who is Liu Changan's brother? Of course she knows, but she really doesn't want to admit it!!!

When did you change your name!!!

"It's Wang'er, the boy with a long face, thin eyebrows and eyes who used to serve the second young master!" Liu Chang'an looked at her incredulous face, smiled and gave her the answer she absolutely didn't want to hear.

"The name Wang'er was bestowed upon me by the Second Young Master, so it's a blessing. Unfortunately, his teacher said it wasn't elegant enough, so he decided to use it as a nickname and gave me a formal name."

"Call it Chengjin!"

"It means that Wang'er wants to 'learn to become a brilliant talent'..."

"Hahaha, you really flatter him!"

Liu Changan said with a bright smile.

Between his eyebrows, there was only joy for his brother and...

proud.

At least, from the perspective of Old Lady Lai, Aunt Lai and Liu Qingru, she was really very proud.

"That damn slave... Liu, Liu Wang'er passed the exam? How is that possible?" Liu Qingru's voice trembled, and her eyes instantly turned red with jealousy.

Although she is willful and arrogant, she is not the kind of daughter who knows nothing. Her family is not a royal family, but a powerful family. It is not the kind of family that is good at fighting. If she wants to have a long-term inheritance and always hold her fists, she must study and take the imperial examinations before she can be among the court officials.

That's why she was so flattering to the older brother who had academic talent, but...

Big brother didn't take the exam, so how could a mere servant succeed?

Liu Changan!

Liu Changan!!!

How come she is so lucky?

Liu Qingru clenched her fists so tightly that her palms were almost broken.

Aunt Lai also opened her eyes wide, and was momentarily stunned. Her whole body was stiff and she couldn't move at all.

After a long, long time, she let out a long breath, and her eyes became moist.

The blow was so strong that she couldn't feel any hatred or jealousy at that moment. She didn't even have the mind to feel disappointed that her 'incestuous' guess was wrong...

She just felt her eye sockets red and her nose sore.

Liu Changan opened his eyes wide and saw Aunt Lai crying.

Oh~~

Was Wang'er's success in the imperial examination such a big blow to them?

She felt that it was not good, but...she really felt happy about the misfortune. Looking at the three pairs of six astonished eyes, she smiled at Liu Qingru and said softly, "Miss, nothing is impossible!"

"Wang'er, that kid, wasn't meant to be a servant. Fortunately, he had some talent for studying and luckily passed the exam, but he was the last one. My parents were too embarrassed to tell my wife and the old lady..."

"I feel that Wang'er has the opportunity to study, all thanks to the old lady's grace. No matter what, I have to tell you!"

"Old lady, you are so kind!"

"In a few days, when Wang'er passes the palace selection, I will definitely have him come and kowtow to you!!"

"No, that's not necessary!" Old Mrs. Lai finally came to her senses at this moment. Her expression was so complicated and her old eyes were extremely fierce. She looked like she was about to curse at anyone at any time.

She gripped her cane tightly and looked at Song with a fierce look in her eyes, "Daughter-in-law, is what this little girl said true?"

"Did her brother really win?"

Do not! !

Do not! !

"It's true, mother-in-law!" Song smiled.

It was a fatal blow.

The three of them rolled their eyes at the same time and fell silent.

Aunt Lai lowered her head deeply, her tears soaking her robe.

Liu Qingru's lips were trembling, her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to suffocate.

Old Lady Lai was trembling all over, staring blankly at the smiling Liu Changan...

Then look at Song who looks relieved.

The two of them, shouldn't they be deliberately mocking her or making fun of Wen Bo?

Definitely not!

Song is Wenbo's biological mother, and Liu Changan is just a servant. They wouldn't, and wouldn't dare, do that! So, they just came to announce the good news!

It's so choking!

but! !

Liu Wang'er was released from the palace after all. If he becomes an official in the future, he will also be a helper to Wen Bo.

Old Mrs. Lai gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "Okay, okay, Wang'er is indeed promising! His success in the exam is not only due to me, but also due to your parents' good teaching!"

"Come here, take a look~"

She waved.

On the side, the housekeeper took a peek at the old lady's face and hesitantly took out a sachet of medium-sized reward money.

Old Lady Lai glared, “Look at the reward!”

"This is the first contribution from our mansion, and there will be a huge reward!"

"Yes!"

The housekeeper quickly withdrew her hand, turned back and went into the inner room. After a moment, she handed a delicately crafted sachet embroidered with five-colored mandarin ducks playing in the water to Liu Chang'an.

"Thank you for the old lady's reward!"

Liu Changan took it and squeezed it!

Oh~~

A thin layer.

This is a silver note!

"On behalf of my parents and Wang'er, I thank the old lady~~"

The minimum amount of silver note is ten taels, so it is worth bowing your head for it.

Liu Changan knelt down with a smile on her face, "In the future, I will definitely bring Wang'er here to thank you..."

"No need, he's a stranger, it's not convenient!" Old Mrs. Lai squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

Her face turned pale.

Song:......

I don't know if she noticed it or not, but she had a 'gratified' smile on her face from beginning to end, and she kept complimenting Old Lady Lai. Seeing this, Liu Changan followed suit.

Both of them held it.

Old Lady Lai made them carry it up high, it was so uncomfortable!!

I really want to die.
