Spring Drunk Chang'an

Liu Qingru wasn't exactly bright, but with Aunt Lai's help and persuasion, and after breaking down Liu Wenrui's explanations, she could understand Liu Wenrui's thoughts. If her own brother, who came from the same mother, could inherit the title of Duke of Ning, he would naturally be better off than Liu Wenbai, who came from a different mother. However...

She and Liu Wenrui grew up together, and she knew only too well what kind of playboy her second brother was! He was lustful, selfish, and ultimately useless. When their mother wanted to take them away, Ran clearly didn't want to, but as a man, he didn't dare say a word. Later, she discussed with her how to go back, but after so long, he still had no idea!

Not as good as her at all.

What kind of help can such a brother bring to her?

None of them are Liu Wenbai's half-sister. At least, he has a father who favors him, and he is talented himself. He will inherit the title in the future and can be her backer.

Liu Qingru thought so, with a hint of contempt between her eyebrows.

Liu Wenrui saw it all clearly and couldn't help but feel furious. He thought to himself: "You little bastard, are you still thinking like you were back home? Your mother doted on you, the old lady protected you, and you indulged your willful ways, treating your own brother like nothing? Now, you're just the daughter of a divorced woman!"

He was a man, and his reputation, good or bad, had little impact on him. He could enter the officialdom and gain a high position. As long as he stood high enough, who would dare to say anything about his background? But Liu Qingru was different. She was a woman, and her reputation was greater than heaven. The title of "daughter of a divorced woman" had already cut off her path to climbing into a high-ranking family.

Her grandparents were also very cold to her!!

Liu Qingru, why do you despise him?

Liu Wenrui gritted his teeth and wanted to slap her twice. However, thinking about the love her grandmother had shown her, or the fact that she could help a little in returning to the clan, she forced herself to suppress the rage in her heart.

only……

The brotherly and sisterly love of the past has almost disappeared.

He looked at Liu Qingru coldly, and seeing her eyes full of pride and ecstasy, his heart suddenly moved, "Qingru, have you thought of any solution? Can we go home?"

Otherwise, why would she go to see the girl from the Xu family?

Was it her grandmother or Mrs. Lai who gave her the idea?

"Uh!" Liu Qingru was stunned by the sudden question and did not deny it.

Liu Wenrui was instantly excited and kept asking, "Do you really have an idea? What is it? Tell me quickly!"

"I, I..." Liu Qingru choked, her eyes rolling around.

But I couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Liu Wenrui's joy faded, and doubts arose. He grabbed his sister's arm and said sternly, "Qingru, why are you hesitating? Are you going to abandon me and go back alone?"

Liu Qingru's face paled instantly after the outburst, her eyes filled with guilt. It was so obvious, how could Liu Wenrui not understand? Filled with hatred, he raised his hand, wanting to slap Liu Qingru, but even with his hand raised, he was still hesitant, and for a long moment, he couldn't strike again!

In the end, he just pushed her hard.

"Ouch!"

Liu Qingru staggered and nearly fell after being pushed. Furious, she turned around and wanted to fight back, but she remembered what her aunt had said...

In any case, Liu Wenbai is no longer her biological brother. If she wants to go back to the Liu family, she will inevitably hurt her grandparents' feelings, and the Song family is not her support.

She has always looked down on the Song family. So, her brother Liu Wenrui, even if he is a playboy, is more or less a helper. It is not good to really push him away!

Liu Qingru clenched her fists, forced herself to smile, and whispered, "Second brother, you, what are you doing? I didn't say I was going to abandon you, it's just that the idea I came up with can't be used by you!"

That was the most suitable reason that Aunt Lai came up with for her to persuade her father!

But it's also suitable for her use alone.

"What idea? You can use it but I can't?" Liu Wenrui frowned in disbelief.

Liu Qingru said, "That's right. There will be a talent show next year, and Daddy doesn't have any other daughters, so he definitely needs me. As long as I can convince Mother to let me go, he will definitely accept it!"

But doing so would deeply hurt my mother and my grandparents.

She didn't care whether Song was sad or not, but she was reluctant to offend her maternal family. It was not because of family affection, but because she participated in the selection to marry her cousin who was the prince. Therefore, offending her grandparents was a very unwise choice, so she was hesitant.

However, now that Liu Wenbai and Miss Xu are about to get married, the Ningguo Mansion has gained another helper.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is no less powerful than the Duke Cheng'en's Mansion.

Liu Qingru was afraid. Her father already had a proud daughter-in-law, and he didn't want to compete for support in the harem. Finally, she made up her mind and prepared to go back.

As for offending her maternal grandparents? Humph, no matter how strong her grandparents were, the Song family was weak and would never let her go. As long as she was willing to be submissive and speak more pitifully, the Song family would always forgive her.

Liu Qingru was very conceited. She dressed up today and prepared to go home to see her father. As for what she said to Liu Wenrui about the "Plum Blossom Banquet" and meeting my sister-in-law, it was naturally a perfunctory lie to him.

After all, before the matter was accomplished, she listened to Aunt Lai and had no intention of telling him. Who knew that he would see through the flaw and test her out.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you've heard this method, and you absolutely can't use it!"

"Besides, aren't you unwilling to break off relations with your maternal grandparents and want to have the best of both worlds? I, I don't think as much as you do, and I really miss Daddy and Grandma so much that I'd rather upset Mother than go back!"

She pursed her lips and said.

Liu Wenrui's face turned blue and red. Liu Qingru's words were like tearing off his face. He wanted to have both virtues, that is, to be the prince of Ningguo Duke and the grandson of Cheng'en Duke. He wanted both families to assist him, so he was hesitant and trapped in the Song family.

"me……"

He hesitated, wanting to say that he would go back to the Ningguo Mansion with Liu Qingru regardless of the consequences. But as the words were on his lips, the magnificent Cheng'en Mansion flashed before his eyes. He thought of the Empress and the Crown Prince!

Liu Wenrui stopped talking.

Seeing this, Liu Qingru understood everything and simply said, "Second brother, I'm running out of time. I have to leave quickly. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Liu Wenrui silently looked at her back and wanted to speak to stop her, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally said nothing.

He stood blankly in the room for a long, long time. Then he stamped his feet hard, left in a trance, and came to the garden. Looking at the snow-covered sky and the beautiful scenery that looked like a glass sculpture, his eyes became more greedy and he was reluctant to leave the luxury and wealth in the garden.

The Song family were heroes who had helped Emperor Taizu of Xia establish the country. They had spent generations defending the borders for the country, and their wealth was so deep that they could be called "rich enough to rival a nation." However, Liu Xiu's family had only been around for two generations, and they couldn't even begin to compare to the Song family's wealth!
