Spring Drunk Chang'an

There are different levels of severity in beating with a stick. If you hit the buttocks, it will only cause minor injuries and will heal after some rest.

But now the servants were beating Liu Wang'er, hitting him hard on the waist, breaking the bones there, which would mean paralysis for life.

So cruel!

Liu Wenrui was so cruel that he wanted to kill Wang'er just because of a few words.

This is her own brother from the same mother, yet he is so vicious and disgusting.

Liu Changan gritted his teeth, hiding the contempt in his eyes, "Second Young Master, the law says that noble officials are not allowed to set up courts privately or impose punishments on prisoners privately. Even if my brother has committed a grave crime, he must be brought to justice."

"How can you just hit me when you say so?"

The founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty was born in the lower class. He was well aware of the sufferings of the people and issued a decree that all criminals, regardless of their wealth, should be brought to court, and royal relatives, nobles and officials were not allowed to interrogate or beat them privately.

Those who violate this rule shall be punished the same as the common people.

The burly servants hesitated, holding the boards.

The pleasure of controlling human life was interrupted. The tyranny in Liu Wenrui's heart surfaced, and his anger rose. He shouted sharply: "The king's law?"

"You're just a cheap slave who can be bought for ten taels of silver, and you dare to bring the law to me, the young master?"

He hurried forward, grabbed Liu Changan's collar and threw him out with force.

Liu Changan retreated in embarrassment and struggled to stand.

Liu Wang'er, who was stopped by her, showed his body. He was still lying on the bench, his pretty face showing a mixture of timidity, fear, confusion and...

A little bit of trust.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Wenrui was still full of trust.

"Little thing, I originally wanted to raise you as a pedophile, but who made you end up with this cunning slave sister?" Liu Wenrui shouted angrily. He kicked Liu Wenrui off the stool and said with a sly grin, "Today, this young master will let you know!"

"What is the king's law?"

"This young master is the law."

His own brother was always called a "slut" and a "naughty slave". Even though Liu Changan had never expected his affection, he felt chilled in his heart.

Bitch! Bitch! In her previous life, she had heard these two words countless times from the Liu family.

A lowly thing that has served the singing girl and poured the night incense.

It was like a mark engraved on her body that could not be erased even by digging out bones or cutting flesh.

Liu Changan's face turned pale, and her stomach churned so hard that she wanted to vomit. She bit her lip to suppress it, "Second Young Master, let's not talk about the law. Today is also the eldest lady's birthday."

"If blood is seen, it would be unlucky."

"Please think carefully, Second Young Master."

Her tone softened.

In order to save her brother, she was not afraid to bow her head.

"It's nothing. The naughty slave broke my birthday present. Second brother punished him to vent my anger. I don't mind." A coquettish voice sounded.

Liu Qingru, dressed in magenta clothes, came with her attendants, swaggering towards them from afar, casting malicious eyes at them.

She smiled curiously and said, "Go ahead and hit me. I just want to see what it's like to be hit with a stick."

"I haven't seen it yet."

"Pull this bitch away and let me beat her!" Liu Wenrui fanned her fiercely.

The sturdy servants slowly pulled Liu Chang'an.

Liu Changan's eyes suddenly became sharp. She retreated cautiously, pulled her brother to his feet, and while thinking in her mind, she rushed out of the second door and ran to the front yard.

On Liu Qingru's birthday, Duke Liu invited his colleagues to a banquet, which caused a big stir and became known to everyone. Duke Liu would naturally stop it, lest the censors report him for "lax family management and privately setting up prisons."

"Second Young Master, please don't let this servant be destroyed!"

"Net? Haha, Master, I am the sky. I am the sky that covers you and keeps you from getting up forever!"

Liu Wenrui said coldly.

Suddenly...

"Heaven? The young master of a duke's mansion is the heaven of Daxia?"

A cold voice was heard, and in an instant, there was silence at the second door.

At the end of the bluestone road, Xiao Chuo's figure appeared, and her narrow, ash-colored eyes swept over lightly.

Seemingly angry and laughing.

He looked at Liu Changan calmly, like a young tiger cornered, waving his thin claws in a vain attempt to scare the jackal. The bluffing made him feel...

interesting.

The corners of his lips curved slightly.

When Liu Chang'an saw him coming, his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed. He lowered his eyes, pulled Liu Wang'er, and walked quickly behind him.

"Prince!"

"Hide well and watch!"

Xiao Chuo smiled faintly, then swept her smoky eyes across with a cold and arrogant look.

"Liu Wenrui, are you the law?"

"I, I..." Liu Wenrui was stunned, his mind went blank, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he fell to his knees in fear. "Crown Prince, I, I was talking nonsense. Please, please don't take it to heart!"

A playboy who is uneducated and always bullies the weak and fears the strong, how can he have any integrity?

He would beat Liu Changan and Liu Wanger whenever he wanted, and scold them whenever he wanted. Facing the Crown Prince...

Xiao Chuo raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, "Even though I'm the crown prince, I can't represent the law. You're quite courageous."

"Prince!" Liu Wenrui knelt prostrate, his legs trembling, and he could hardly speak. "Cousin, I didn't mean it. Really, I was just saying it casually. For my mother's sake, please just ignore me."

He crawled over and wanted to hug Xiao Chuo's legs.

Xiao Chuo's brows turned cold, "Get out!"

"I'm going to get out of here!"

Liu Wenrui was so relieved that he turned around and ran away in a panic, not even caring about his sister.

Liu Qingru was stunned, "Second brother..."

Xiao Chuo's eyes turned, "You get out too!"

"Cousin!" Liu Qingru trembled, not daring to say a word, and ran away in shame.

-

Liu Changan brought his younger brother and the prince back to Chunliyuan.

The brother and sister were settled in a small room in the back room by Madam Liu. Liu Wang'er was kicked in the heart and his chest was stuffy. Madam Liu specially called the court doctor to take his pulse and prepare medicine for him.

"Wang'er, the medicine will be ready in a moment, and you'll be fine after drinking it!"

Liu Changan held his brother's hand and comforted him softly.

Liu Wang'er leaned against the head of the bed, her expression dazed, tears silently dripping down her cheeks.

"Wang'er? Does it hurt?" Liu Chang'an asked him.

Liu Wang'er buried her face in the quilt and asked sullenly, "Sister, does the Second Young Master really want to beat me to death?"

"Because I dropped my birthday present, but someone really tripped me."

He entered the mansion at the age of six to serve as Liu Wenrui's servant, and spent more time with him than with any other family member.

He wholeheartedly revered Liu Wenrui as his master and relied on him as his brother, but in the end...

"Wang'er, I offended Liu Wenrui. He took his anger out on you and harmed you to avenge me. He was the one who tripped you. I also found the bracelet!"

Liu Changan took out the bracelet and handed it to his brother. "Look at the broken end. It was broken a long time ago. You didn't drop it at all."

"Then why didn't you say it just now?" Liu Wang'er suddenly looked up, his eyes red.

Liu Changan smiled bitterly, "He just wants to harm you. What's the point of me saying it? Who would listen?"

Liu Wang'er lowered his head and said nothing.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, covered his head and cried out, "Sister, I don't believe the Second Young Master would hurt me. He is not that kind of person. Is there something wrong?"

"Liu Wenrui has really fooled you, Wang'er, my silly brother..."

Liu Changan's eyes suddenly became wet, and he wanted to persuade her distressedly, but the door suddenly opened, and Nanny Liu said in a loud voice: "Liu Changan, the prince summons you."

"come quickly."
