Spring Drunk Chang'an

Song Zhinian doesn't like Liu Qingru.

It wasn't because Liu Qingru accompanied Song back home after her divorce that her status as the only 'eldest daughter' of the Cheng'en Mansion changed, but...

From the very beginning, she and Liu Qingru didn't get along well.

Perhaps it was because of her temper, Liu Qingru looked down on Song Zhinian for being "crazy". Although she was the daughter of Fengchao and the niece of the Queen, she had no arrogance at all and chattered all day long.

Song Zhinian couldn't stand Liu Qingru's arrogance and domineering attitude. He had a high opinion of himself and thought of himself as a phoenix, while others were ants.

The first conflict between the two occurred when Liu Qingru was nine years old. She spanked a little girl who accidentally spilled hot tea and burned her wrist. She was spanked fifty times with a wooden stick, leaving her face bruised and her teeth broken.

Song Zhinian broke up with her.

A maid did something wrong and scalded her master! She deserved to be punished, but was a little bit of hot water and a little red on her wrist really worth taking her life?

The little maid was only about eight or nine years old. Liu Qingru had her face disfigured by beatings and refused to let her family take her back. It was said that half of her face was burned and she almost died!

He is so cruel.

Song Zhinian became distant from her. Before Song divorced her, he would avoid her when he took her back to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion. Even now, when the two lived in the same mansion, they tried to see each other as little as possible.

It's just a pity...

The wife of Prince Song felt sorry for Liu Qingru and always urged her daughter to treat her well!

Song Zhinian really doesn't want to do that.

then……

She looked at Liu Changan eagerly, hoping that he would refuse...

Liu Changan: ...

He looked back at Song Zhinian eagerly, and after a moment, he spread his hands and said, "Miss, why are you looking at me?"

"I, I'm just a guest at your house, uh, the daughter of the housekeeper!!"

"Madam, please accompany me. I can only obey your orders."

Liu Changan's current status in the Cheng'en Mansion was actually somewhat unclear. According to Song's idea, she wanted to ask her brother and sister-in-law to adopt Liu Changan as their adopted daughter, so that she could live in the mansion with full legal status and become a rich lady, and be betrothed to a good husband in the future. This was the only way to express her gratitude and love. However...

Song Bin and Old Mrs. Song did not agree.

The two of them were still investigating the matter of Aunt Lai's exchange. If it was true, then Liu Chang'an would be their granddaughter. Although, this child had a rough life and was very kind to them, there was nothing wrong in recognizing her as their granddaughter.

But we always have to make things clear.

Should we set things right or let things go as they are?

Only when we understand clearly can we make an explanation.

Therefore, the old couple temporarily evaded the issue. Although Song was puzzled, her parents made it clear that there were some things that needed to be investigated. Once they were cleared up, they would never treat Liu Changan unfairly!

Of course she recognized her parents, but she was confused and didn't say anything.

Therefore, although Liu Changan stayed in the Cheng'en Mansion, her identity was "Miss" - that is, Song Zhinian's companion. Of course, everyone in the Cheng'en Mansion, including the Crown Prince's wife, treated her very politely and warmly, and loudly told the servants that she was "our family's benefactor, and no one is allowed to neglect her..."

The servants treated Liu Chang'an as a proper master.

but……

In any case, how could a girl who was just a guest stop the cousins ​​from getting along with each other?

Even if Song Zhinian didn't mind, even if she had begged her with her eyes...

Liu Changan just looked up at the sky, thinking to himself: If Song Zhinian invited Liu Qingru to go together, then, then she wouldn't go?

Sorry, although she has a good relationship with Song Zhinian, and although she really wants to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and trusts him very much, she absolutely does not want to ride in the car with Liu Qingru and travel together!

Ugh, just thinking about that scene makes my hair stand on end and I feel sick!

"Oh, this, this... Okay, Beiruo, go to your cousin's courtyard and ask her if she is willing to accompany us..." Song Zhinian looked at Liu Changan pitifully for a while, then changed his mind.

She is not a fool, how could she not understand that Liu Changan is not suitable to say those words, and now he is acting like this~~

Just acting coquettishly.

She's unhappy, and she's not allowed to act coquettishly?

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Bei Ruo shook her head with amusement and turned to leave.

Liu Changan pursed her lips, not knowing how to tell Song Zhinian: She didn't want to go anymore.

To be honest?

I always feel that Miss Chinen will be very disappointed?

She frowned and prepared several times. Just when she was about to say something, a little maid who had just had her hair cut suddenly ran over, came in front of the two of them, knelt down and bowed.

Song Zhinian recognized her as the little girl who served Old Madam Song, so he asked, "Why are you running so fast?"

"Does Grandmother have any instructions?"

"Yes, Miss, Miss, the old lady asked me to invite you two to Shou'an Courtyard!" said the little maid in a crisp voice.

"Grandma?" Song Zhinian quickly stood up upon hearing that.

Liu Changan also stood up.

"What did the old lady call us for?"

The two asked as they put on their cloaks.

The little maid said, "In reply to the two ladies, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought a doctor here, saying that he wants to treat the young master's leg, but, but..."

She paused, a look of helplessness appearing on her childish face.

"But what?" Liu Chang'an frowned, and some ominous thoughts inexplicably arose in his mind.

The little maid spread her hands, her small face filled with sorrow, "My young cousin is not happy."

"Not only was he unhappy, he was also making a fuss..."

"Committed suicide again?" Liu Changan was stunned, and suddenly turned his head, his face full of surprise.

Speaking of which, Liu Yu had attempted suicide three or five times a year, but since he entered the Cheng'en Mansion and reunited with the Song family, he had never had an attack. However, every time she visited him and chatted with him, she could see that although he was happy to have recognized his identity, he still had a sense of resentment in his heart!

Liu Changan had privately analyzed the situation with Song Shi many times, and also consulted with Nanny Ji, and the conclusion he came to was...

Nothing more than two things.

For one thing, his leg was injured.

Second, he was heartbroken.

Qu Qiutong is not his biological daughter, but he has raised her for so many years, it is impossible for him to abandon her all of a sudden. As for Liu Xiu, he is indeed his biological father, but he treats him like that.

The eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, who was tortured for so many years and became a "waste" with a broken leg and a disability, that feeling...

Liu Changan understood him and felt pity for him.

After all, he had adoptive parents and brothers and sisters who loved him for two lifetimes. Therefore, even if he suffered pain, was tortured to death and was reborn, his heart was not completely filled with hatred.

She has warmth.

What does Liu Yu have?

He doesn't even have a healthy body.

He could only slowly find a way to deal with the pain in his heart, but his physical disability was curable. Since returning to the Cheng'en Mansion, Song Bin had sought help from almost every orthopedic doctor in the Imperial Hospital, but unfortunately, none of them were effective. Apart from making Liu Yu's legs less painful on cloudy and rainy days, treatments had no effect. Instead, they had "tormented" him into developing a rebellious mentality...
