Spring Drunk Chang'an

"Slave girl, slave girl will be here soon."

The Crown Prince summoned her, and Liu Changan didn't dare to neglect him. She wiped her tears and told Liu Wang'er, "Stay here and I'll talk to you when I get back."

Liu Wang'er nodded absentmindedly.

Liu Changan stood up and followed Nanny Liu to the main house, thinking as he walked.

Wang'er has been manipulated by Liu Wenrui for eight years, and his personality has been determined. If you want to win him back, you can't be impatient, you have to take it step by step. The most important thing now is that Wang'er can't serve in the mansion anymore.

Liu Wenrui is so cruel, if Wang'er goes back, he will be like a sheep walking into the mouth of a tiger.

But, but, when will Aunt Lai make a move? Will it be like in her previous life? Or will she give up...

Liu Chang'an was lost in thought as she followed Madam Liu into the main room. She raised her eyes slightly and saw Xiao Chuo standing beside her, very close to her.

"Ah!" Liu Chang'an cried out in fear, then quickly bent her knees and tried to kowtow, "Your servant greets the Crown Prince."

Xiao Chuo held her wrist with his big hand.

The bony hand clamped her, and the scorching temperature made Liu Changan panic, and she instinctively wanted to pull her hand away.

Xiao Chuo held on tighter, her eyes darkening slightly, "Why are you struggling? Are you afraid of being alone?"

"If you are afraid, why do you ask for help?"

The servants in the room all knelt down in unison.

Liu Chang'an's heart was pounding. Everyone knew that Xiao Chuo was moody and prone to changing her ways.

One moment, people were chatting and laughing, and the next moment, heads fell to the ground.

"My lord, I'm not afraid, but I don't know how to express my gratitude." Liu Chang'an held his breath and suppressed the shyness and fear in his heart.

She lowered her brows and thought: The last time she met the prince, she looked frightened and the prince was unhappy.

He, doesn't he like others to be afraid of him?

Liu Changan thought of the scene in the hot spring where she ran into him bathing, and her cheeks flushed. "The prince saved my life last time, and today, he saved my brother from the water and fire."

"My gratitude is like a candle to the bright moon, my reverence and yearning are beyond words."

She spoke softly and sincerely.

Are you overwhelmed with fear? Or are you excited by my touch?

Xiao Chuo's perfectly lined lips curved into a stunning arc. Her smoky eyes scrutinized Liu Chang'an, and his moodiness receded. "You're not stupid. You knew it was an emergency, so you sent someone to look for me."

"Get it."

Considering her infatuation and cleverness, Xiao Chuo let go of her hand and threw the jade pendant back.

"Thank you, Prince!"

Liu Changan was confused and didn't know why the prince was happy again?

Maybe he thought she was loyal, so he gave her the jade pendant and was willing to be her backer?

A look of joy flashed across the little girl's face.

"Are you so happy that I praised you?" Xiao Chuo said in a deep voice.

Is his opinion so important?

Liu Changan nodded heavily, his face flushed with excitement.

Liu Wenrui is the young master. If he insists on causing trouble for the Liu family, Liu Changan will definitely not be able to defeat him, but if he can get some help from the prince.

She is no longer afraid.

Liu Chang'an looked at the prince with bright almond-shaped eyes and full of enthusiasm.

"That's sincere." Xiao Chuo nodded modestly, then turned back to the table and sat down. She looked as if she was about to take care of some government affairs, but she said, "Don't worry about Liu Wenrui's affairs. I'll send someone to handle it myself."

"If you encounter any trouble, come and find me."

"understand?"

Liu Changan bit his lip and nodded.

Xiao Chuo didn't see it, so she frowned and called her name, "Liu Chang'an?"

"I understand, your servant."

Liu Changan was afraid that he would turn hostile again for no reason, so he quickly responded.

"Go away." Xiao Chuo waved her hand.

Liu Changan quickly bent his knees and retreated respectfully.

She returned to the back room. By then, Liu Wang'er had already taken the medicine and fallen asleep. Liu Chang'an decided to send him back to the Liu family in Juning Lane.

Chunliyuan is the prince's residence, and it is always against the rules for his younger brother to sleep here.

"How can you, a little girl, support him? I'll send someone to take him there." Nanny Liu felt sorry for her and called the servants to pick up Liu Wang'er and put her into the carriage.

"Tell Lao Ma the address, and he will send the person back safely."

"Thank you, mama."

Liu Changan hurriedly thanked him, turned around and said a few words to the coachman, then watched the carriage leave. She said goodbye and returned to Rongxiyuan to wait for Song.

Who knew that just as she stopped, she saw Concubine Lai approaching gracefully. She frowned at the sight of her and began to accuse her, "Miss Chang'an, I heard that you contradicted the eldest lady and the second young master for your brother?"

"Really, your brother is the Second Young Master's servant. He's a lowly servant. If the master wants to beat or scold him, that's all he deserves. Moreover, he's committed a serious offense, smashing the eldest lady's birthday gift. Killing him wouldn't be too much of an exaggeration. A few beatings is already a mercy from the Second Young Master. How dare you still offend him?"

"Auntie, you have such sharp eyes and ears." Liu Chang'an pursed his lips. Listening to Auntie Lai belittling Wang'er into the mud, he couldn't help but sarcastically said, "You keep saying, 'I'm a lowly slave, but...'"

"Don't forget, Auntie is only half a master."

"Mei Xiang and I are sworn brothers. We are both slaves. Who is more noble than the other?"

"You..." Aunt Lai's usually hypocritical and gentle face froze, her eyebrows raised, and she wanted to curse, but for some reason, she forced herself to hold it back.

"Miss Chang'an, you don't have to be so arrogant. Even if your ambition is as high as the sky, you are still of low status."

"Born a slave, always a slave, there is no turning back in this life."

She scoffed coldly.

Liu Changan's eyes suddenly turned red. The reason why she was born a slave was because of Lai!

It was Lai who replaced her, otherwise, she should have been the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion!

"I am also thinking about you, young lady. I am afraid that you are too proud, so I have given you advice many times. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it..." Aunt Lai sneered, feeling a little regretful.

Originally, she planned to use Liu Wenrui to beat Liu Wang'er to death or cripple him, to confuse the Liu family, and then use the witchcraft matter to plot against them, thinking that they would be too panicked and confused to defend themselves. As a result, Liu Wang'er was rescued alive, which ruined her plan.

Hey, whatever.

It is difficult to have everything perfect, so it is better to arrange it as soon as possible to avoid mistakes.

Aunt Lai snorted and turned away.

Liu Changan looked at her back coldly and waited until the end of the banquet. She helped the tired-looking Song back to the main house and went to rest.

-

The next day, Liu Chang'an took leave and returned to the Liu family in Juning Lane. He first told his brother to take good care of his injuries and gave him a good talk. Then, he subtly told Liu Laishun the news about Yuanniang, the beloved of Duke Liu in his previous life.

Let him find out as soon as possible.

Liu Wang'er was depressed and silent.

Liu Laishun responded readily and said he would check.

Liu Chang'an hurried back to the mansion. A few days passed quietly. One day, Song took her and Rong Cui to see the prince. The aunt and niece had something to say.

She and Rong Cui were arranged to have tea in the back room. Suddenly, a long-faced girl with single eyelids and wearing a green bodice walked in. "I'm Li Qing from Rong Xiyuan. Who is Liu Chang'an?"

"The old lady sent a message to you, come with me quickly."
