Spring Drunk Chang'an

Want to go back?

Of course she wanted to go back.

How could a mere cousin be as prestigious as the eldest daughter of a duke's family? Furthermore, she was not eligible to participate in next year's selection!

Then, how could she marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and become the future mother of the country!

Liu Qingru bit her lip and looked at Liu Wenrui eagerly, "Second brother, don't you want to go back?"

"Mingming, at that time I didn't think about divorcing my mother and returning home. I, I wanted to stay in the mansion. That's my home. Why would I go with a divorced woman?"

"It was Mother who threatened Father and forced him to give up on us!"

"Brother, I want to go home~~"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

She pretended to cry, completely ignoring the fact that Liu Xiu had a concubine and exchanged children, and simply blamed the Song family for being "intolerance".

Liu Wenrui looked at her, with no intention of correcting her. He clenched his fists and paced back and forth in the room...

It’s been a while!

Suddenly he sighed, revealing something, "Qingru, of course I miss Dad and Grandma too. You know, Dad raised me since I was little, and I don't like studying. I seldom interact with my grandparents. I've been with my uncle these past few days, and I just don't feel comfortable no matter how I stay with him!"

Prince Song really wants to help his nephew. He is the only healthy son his sister has, so naturally he wants him to have a bright future. Firstly, for himself, secondly for his sister, and thirdly, he also wants to make Liu Xiu angry to death!

So, he wholeheartedly wanted to teach Liu Wenrui real skills. Even if he couldn't pass the imperial examination in the future, he could still ask for his nephew to be granted a position as an official in the imperial court!

Yes……

Even though Liu Wenrui has not been close to his maternal family for so many years, Prince Song also knows about his nephew's situation.

When faced with the books of sages, I feel so stupid that I am almost speechless.

He is stupid and lazy. It is harder to let him pass the imperial examination by studying hard than to let him rebel and ascend the throne to become emperor.

The Crown Prince of Song wanted him to learn more about handling government affairs and the "hard skills" required for serving as an official in the court - how to use an abacus, manage accounts, judge cases, and learn the foreign language...

No matter who it is, if he does a good job, Prince Song will submit a memorial on his behalf.

So, these past few days, Prince Song has been trying one thing after another, teaching Liu Wenrui various instincts in turn. Logically speaking, this is a good thing, a decent and promising person. However, who is Liu Wenrui? A pure playboy who is greedy for women, lazy and greedy, and has been carefully nurtured by Liu Xiu!

I really can't bear any hardship at all.

He wants wealth, luxury and extravagance.

but!

Not working hard.

What he wanted was to reap the fruits of others' labor without any effort. He felt that Prince Song's sincerity towards him was just his uncle tormenting him, looking down on him, treating him like a piece of shit, and making him do odd jobs.

The Song family!!

Tsk tsk tsk!

If you really feel sorry for him, why don't you pave the way for him?

As the biological mother, Song should insist on not getting a divorce, kick out Liu Wenbai, the illegitimate son, and push him to become the crown prince, with his grandfather and uncle fully supporting him!

It will definitely work.

If they don't do that, it means the Song family is not sincere...

"Qingru, you and I both have miserable lives. We have parents, but we have to live under someone else's roof and be looked down upon!" Liu Wenrui sighed, looking at Liu Qingru, and said with a tone that seemed to be intentional but not intentional: "I've let it go. Anyway, I've never been taken seriously. I just feel sorry for you."

"Your grandmother loved you so much and raised you from childhood. Now, you've been taken away so suddenly. I wonder how sad she must be!"

"Hey, we're living a good life, but Mom insists on making trouble..."

He was deliberately provoking.

I just want to use Liu Qingru to explore the way.

Originally, when nothing happened, Liu Wenrui loved his sister very much, but no matter how much he loved her, it could never outweigh his own interests.

Similarly, this is also Liu Qingru's idea.

She looked at her second brother and said in a slow tone, "We've both been expelled from the ancestral hall and are no longer considered proper members of the Liu family~"

Liu Qingru was a little anxious. "So what? Even if we're removed, we're still Dad's bloodline. The elders in the clan all rely on Dad for their livelihood. If we give them some benefits, they'll naturally add us back!"

"As long as we are willing, we can go to Mother and tell her that we want to follow Father, then kneel down and beg Grandmother sincerely, and it will definitely work out!"

However, doing so would severely offend my grandfather's family and hurt the Song family's feelings.

Liu Qingru didn't want to take the lead, so she encouraged Liu Wenrui to do it. She played the role of a little girl who couldn't bear to leave her brother, father, and grandmother, and was caught in a dilemma, and finally had no choice but to go home!

Of course, when she returned home, she would also try to appease the Song family and the Song family members, and would never let them harbor any resentment towards her. After all, she was going to be the Crown Princess's woman!

We must not give the Queen a bad impression.

"Second brother, think about it carefully, I really can't bear to leave Grandma and Daddy!"

Liu Qingru acted coquettishly, holding Liu Wenrui's arm and shaking it.

Liu Wenrui's eyes flickered and he was reluctant to agree. Instead, he acted depressed and tried to prevaricate.

"I can't do it, Qingru, I really can't do it..."

Dad holds Liu Wenbai in the palm of his hand and can even tolerate that illegitimate son's attempt to kill him. If he goes back without any support, let alone snatching the position of the crown prince, he will have a hard time saving his life.

He cannot lose the support of his maternal family.

Qingru has to be the first one to stick his head out.

The two of them had their own ulterior motives and pretended to be a loving brother and sister, but in fact, they both wanted to push the other into trouble.

They were pushing each other around and testing each other...

In the end, Liu Qingru lost the game.

The draft - starts in March next year, and she doesn't have that much time to waste.

She had to go back to the Ningguo Mansion as soon as possible, so after several unsuccessful attempts to persuade Liu Wenrui, she sent a little maid to secretly deliver a message to Concubine Lai.

She wants to see her aunt.

Aunt Lai naturally wanted to see her as well, so she quickly agreed and set a time.

So, one sunny spring afternoon, Liu Qingru used the excuse of going out to relax and left the house with her personal maid. She went to the jewelry shop where she had made an appointment with Aunt Lai. Taking advantage of the shop's rule of only accepting female relatives, she left the guards and grooms assigned to her by the Ningguo Mansion outside.

She went up to the second floor of the shop alone, came to the door of the box, and pushed it open.

In the room, Aunt Lai was sitting by the window. When she saw her, she quickly stood up and strode over to Liu Qingru. She hugged her, her eyes instantly wet as she choked with sobs, "Qing, Qingru, my dear, how come I haven't seen you for a few days? You've become so thin?"

"It's really hard for you!"

Her tears flowed like beads.

Liu Qingru was hugged tightly, and warm tears dripped onto her cheeks. She was moved for a moment. She looked at Aunt Lai, feeling a little bit of longing, but also more awkwardness, worry and...

fear.

Missing you is fleeting.

Liu Qingru took a deep breath and slowly pushed Aunt Lai away.
