Spring Drunk Chang'an

"Song is such a good daughter-in-law, without any faults, filial and virtuous, and you want to divorce her?"

"You are crazy!"

"We disagree."

The eight tribesmen spoke in unison.

"Even if you don't agree!"

"I'm the clan leader, I'm the Duke of Ningguo, and my word is final!"

"Song Zhilan is an ignorant woman. Can't I live without her?"

Liu Xiu also got angry. Moreover, he knew in his heart that he had no way out at this point.

Therefore, he took a very tough attitude and suppressed the Liu family members.

The Liu family - apart from Liu Xiu, there are no particularly outstanding children. It can be said that the entire family depends on the Ningguo Mansion for their livelihood. When Liu Xiu becomes powerful, they have no way to stop him.

"Liu Xiu, ah Liu Xiu, a wife who has shared your hardships will never be divorced. Song has been with you for twenty years, and she is virtuous and kind!"

"A good wife brings less trouble to her husband. If you don't have a good wife who can take care of the backyard for you, you will regret it in the future."

Some tribesmen sighed deeply.

After another round of fighting, it was unknown where Liu Qingru was dragged to by the Song family, and Liu Wenrui, who didn't appear here at all!

"You only have three children in total. You gave two to the Song family. What do you have left?"

A son?

Although Wenbo was the eldest son, very outstanding, and had reached adulthood, in this day and age, anything could happen. What if he died young due to a small mistake?

Didn’t the eldest son’s family have no descendants?

It wasn't like Liu Xiu didn't have concubines and maids in his mansion, but after Song gave birth to Qingru, the Ningguo Mansion hadn't heard the baby cry since then, so it was obvious that Liu Xiu was no longer able to survive...

He also can’t have another son as a backup!!

"You, you are confused!!"

The tribesmen began to accuse.

Liu Xiu didn't care and resolutely opened the ancestral hall, crossed out the names of Liu Wenrui and Liu Qingru, and went to Jingzhao Prefecture with Song to retrieve the marriage certificate of that year and eliminate the household record.

The two destroyed the marriage certificate and took away the divorce papers respectively.

Song took an extra letter from the emperor.

Since then, the two have had no relationship.

The Song family finally escaped from suffering.

The Song family took her with them, and she took her children, servants, and dowry with her...

Etc., etc.

He held his head high and left the Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as the marriage certificate between Liu Xiu and Song was burned, Xiao Chuo sent someone to order Qu Qiutong to be released. In addition, he also ordered his confidants to pick up Liu Yu and the wet nurse and send them to the Cheng'en Mansion.

Liu Wenrui was there too.

Mrs. Song couldn't wait to meet her son.

On the other side, Qu Qiutong was released. She was both afraid and expectant. She didn't even bother to go back to the Liu Mansion in Xinghuapo, but hired a carriage and went straight to the Ningguo Mansion.

On the wide road, her carriage just passed by Song's carriage.

The two people ran towards different futures.

Qu Qiutong arrived at the gate of the Ningguo Mansion and asked the coachman to go in and inform them. Liu Xiu, who had just driven away the clan leaders, heard the message and hurried to the door. He grabbed Qu Qiutong and looked at her red and swollen cheeks.

Tears of heartache flowed instantly.

"Qiutong, you have suffered a lot. Come in quickly." He quickly brought Qu Qiutong into the mansion and went directly to Rongxiyuan. He then ordered the servants to call Liu Wenbai.

The family of three finally reunited in front of Rongxiyuan.

Liu Xiu and Qu Qiutong hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Liu Wenbai stood aside awkwardly, not wanting to participate at all. All he could think about was how he would be laughed at when the news of his father and the Song family's divorce spread throughout the capital...

There is a divorced "mother", a father who insists on "abandoning" her mother, and then there is Qu Qiutong, who has a sensitive identity.

Is it true that his identity cannot be revealed?

Liu Wenbai had a terrible headache.

Qu Qiutong was already crying so hard that her eyes were wet and she was out of breath.

She panted softly.

Liu Wenbai looked at her and felt that even though this woman was his biological mother, she was almost forty years old and had a bit of a middle-aged and pretentious demeanor. However, Liu Xiu truly loved her. Seeing her frail appearance, he felt pity and distress, and quickly said, "Wenbai, help you quickly, you..."

He paused, looking around Rongxi Courtyard, curiously glancing at their servants and maids, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Help your Aunt Qu go and rest."

"Oh right, come on, clean up Qiu Shuangju, open the warehouse, and settle Miss Qu down!"

For so many years, because of the Song family, his Qiu Tong had to live a wronged life in a small village in the suburbs. Every time she went to the capital, she had to be very cautious, even though they had been in love for so many years.

Qiu Tong had never been to the Ningguo Mansion.

Now that Song is gone, he must compensate Qiu Tong well!

Liu Xiu secretly made up his mind and immediately called out to his son, "Wenbo, come, follow Daddy and accompany your Aunt Qu..."

"Dad, this isn't good. She, she, Aunt Qu's identity is..." She is the daughter of a criminal. "How can she live in the mansion?"

Liu Wenbai gritted his teeth.

Although the Song family agreed not to make a fuss about her identity and not to expose it, however, the daughter of a guilty minister came to Beijing openly and even lived in the government office.

It doesn't look right no matter how I look at it?

Many times, the Ningguo Mansion would entertain nobles of the same class, and the female members of the family would also enter the backyard. When the Qu family was raided, Qu Qiutong was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she had seen many noble ladies in the capital.

You will be recognized!!

Liu Wenbai felt bitter inside.

He started to feel regretful as soon as Song divorced and left.

There was indeed a world of difference between the Empress's sister and the daughter of a guilty minister. Even though the Ningguo Mansion had secretly defected to the Prince of Yan and was destined to be an enemy of the Crown Prince, before the Crown Prince was deposed...

Life is always hard.

"Wenbo!!" Liu Xiu felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw his son's proud look with a frown on his face. Just as he was about to scold him, the gate of Rongxiyuan suddenly opened. Lai Shi supported Old Lady Lai, and both of them looked panicked and confused with the same expression.

"Xiu'er, when you and the Song family divorced, you told me that you had your own plans and asked me not to get involved. Now that the matter has been settled, you must tell me!"

"Why on earth?"

"Why did you get divorced?"

"And why did you give Wenrui and Qingru to the Song family?"

"That's my grandson!"

Old Mrs. Lai, leaning on a crutch, walked quickly to Liu Xiu and asked with tears in her eyes.

Indeed, among her three grandsons, she values ​​and loves Wenbo the most, but Wenrui is also her beloved grandson, not to mention that Liu Qingru was raised in her courtyard.

It's like half her life.

Now he was taken away inexplicably, and his name is gone from the ancestral hall! !

If Liu Xiu had not begged her and whispered in her ear that this concerned his life and the future of everyone in the mansion, she would never have compromised and watched Song take away the dowry and children so easily!

"Tell me, explain it to me clearly!!"

"Why??"

"Why exactly?"

Old Mrs. Lai roared.

Liu Xiu clenched his fist and looked around.

"All of you get out!" Old Lady Lai shouted.

The servants nearby quickly moved away.
