Spring Drunk Chang'an

Aunt Lai was a very meticulous person. Unlike Liu Qingru who had to hide the fact from the people in Cheng'en Mansion and meet her secretly, when she went to see Liu Qingru, she naturally informed Old Lady Lai early on and only acted after getting her order.

Liu Qingru is the granddaughter of old lady Lai, and has been raised by her since childhood.

especially……

She didn't need any care, and all the daily hard work was done by Aunt Lai. She just needed to enjoy the child's innocence and lovability.

We have been together day and night for more than ten years.

How could Mrs. Lai not love Liu Qingru?

As soon as the Song family came to power, they took her away directly, which was just like digging out the heart of old lady Lai. She must have thought of this. Aunt Lai took this opportunity to report to the old lady and got the job.

She went to see Liu Qingru openly.

Once the job is done, you can naturally give your reward in a fair and honest manner.

"Oh, in that case, you should stand up and answer." Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu's expression relaxed slightly and he raised his hand to support himself.

Aunt Lai took advantage of the situation and rose to power.

"Ruchu, move a stool for her." Qu Qiutong, seeing this, also gave an order.

Ruchu slumped his shoulders, and he shrank down as he moved a stool in and squatted down, saying weakly, "Auntie, please sit down."

"Thank you, Miss Ruchu!" Aunt Lai smiled at her.

Over there, Liu Xiu asked again, "How is Qingru? Is she staying well in the Cheng'en Mansion? And Wenrui, he..."

In Liu Xiu's half-life, he only had three sons: Liu Wenbai, Liu Wenrui, and Liu Yu.

Compared to Liu Wenbai, the darling and the apple of his eye, the other two are naturally not as valuable as even if they were tied together. But that doesn't mean they have no weight at all.

After all, they are my own flesh and blood.

In the past, he didn't pay much attention to them, but every day... when he returned to Xinghuapo, he would always see his two sons at the Ningguo Mansion every morning and evening. But now, once their names were removed from the ancestral hall, the two sons and one daughter were all gone.

Liu Yu was fine, he was abandoned because he could not see the light of day, but Liu Wenrui was the person he had chosen to help him pass on his bloodline.

What’s more, there is Liu Qingru?

He has only one daughter, and he had originally planned to hold a draft next year to find a good marriage partner to help Wen Bo rise to prominence.

All gone in one day!

How can I remain indifferent?

Liu Xiu sighed deeply, "Qingru and Wenrui, are they okay? Do they really not blame me, their father, for being so ruthless?"

"Of course not!" Aunt Lai heard this and quickly defended Liu Qingru. "The eldest lady is so filial to you, how could she blame you? It's all helpless, it's just God's fault."

Yes, if Song hadn't happened to pass by and found out that Wenbo and Yu'er had been swapped, there wouldn't be so many waves now!

"It's all destiny!"

"God won't let me live in peace!" Liu Xiu sighed.

Seeing this, Qu Qiutong hurried forward and gently patted his chest to calm him down. She comforted him, "Xiulang, don't be sad. No matter what, our family of three is finally reunited. It's a blessing in disguise!"

"You and I have been together for half our lives, and now we can spend every day together, facing each other day and night. This is a gift from God. How can I not cherish it?"

"Stop sighing! You're making me feel bad!"

She said coquettishly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu grabbed her hand and repeatedly comforted her, "My dear Qiutong, blame me, it's all my fault. I didn't know how to enjoy my good days. I'm not grateful for bringing up those trivial things. Please don't feel bad."

"For me, you and Wenbo are enough!"

"Tsk, you have no shame." Qu Qiutong seemed to be coaxed into happiness, her face flushed, and she scolded softly.

Liu Xiu smiled shyly.

Off to the side, Aunt Lai quietly took two steps back and stood against the wall with Ruchu, cursing inwardly: Qu Qiutong, what a shameless old whore! At such an old age, she knows how to control a man, tricking the Duke into calling her daughter "nonsense"!

A lowly woman who appeared out of nowhere is praised so highly?

Be careful not to fall and die.

She wanted to leave, not wanting to see the bitch so proud, but then she changed her mind and felt that it would be useful to listen to what they said more, so she lowered her head and stood like a statue, motionless.

Standing in the corner.

Sure enough, the lovers got so attached to each other that they forgot about her and went to the corner, talking sweet nothings to each other.

Liu Xiu coaxed Qu Qiutong for a long time, and finally made her smile. The two sat there, cuddling for a few days, and Liu Xiu said, "This time, our Wenbo is unlucky and sick. He won't have another chance for three years. He has already passed the imperial examination this year, and since he can't take the exam, we might as well just start a family."

"In three years, his wife will take care of him and give us a grandson..."

Without Liu Wenrui, who could carry on the family line, Liu Xiu felt threatened.

There are too few children.

He is already old, and Qiu Tong is not young either. Having another child is not good for his health. He is afraid of something bad happening, so naturally he wants his son to take many wives and concubines to continue his offspring.

"Xiu Lang, do you have an idea?" Qu Qiutong naturally had no reason to refuse, so she asked with a smile, "Which noble lady have you set your eyes on?"

Lady!

Yes, Qu Qiutong never thought that her son was a traitor or had a questionable identity. In her opinion, her son had a father who was a Duke of the State, a cousin who was the Prince of Yan, a grandmother who was Qu Gui, and an uncle who was the Emperor. That was really...

If it weren't for the generation difference, the princess would be worthy of him.

As a noble lady, you should naturally choose the best.

"The girl I originally chose for Wenbo was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi. She was of noble status but a weak character, and she lost her mother at a young age... What I meant was that if Wenbo married her, and something happened to his status in the future, she wouldn't dare to say anything without having a backer. The Duke of Qi's family is of sufficient status and can support Wenbo more and help..."

Your Majesty!

Liu Xiu paused, his words unfinished.

Qu Qiutong already understood what he meant and nodded silently.

Liu Xiu sighed and continued, "It's a pity that the Duke of Qi's Mansion rejected the marriage, so there's nothing we can do about it. Now, I've set my sights on a few more families."

"Who is it?" Qu Qiutong asked repeatedly.

Liu Xiu counted on his fingers, "First, I have my eyes on the daughter of Prince Rong, Princess Wanqiong. This little princess is innocent and naive, and she is also the youngest daughter of the legitimate wife, so she is very much favored by Prince Rong."

"Prince Rong is the emperor's cousin. He controls the Five Cities Military Department and is a beloved minister in the eyes of the emperor. If Wen Bo can marry his daughter, his future will be bright."

"There are only two unfortunate things. First, Prince Rong controls the military, not the elite. After Wen Bo won the top spot in the imperial examination, he entered the Hanlin Academy. I'm afraid he won't be able to help much. Second, the young princess is of noble status, and she has long said, 'I'd rather have a loyal partner than leave him.' Anyone who marries her won't take concubines or maids, so she'll be the only one he can be with..."
