Spring Drunk Chang'an

Liu Caodeng tiptoed, sometimes excited, sometimes timid and nervous, and hesitantly walked towards Jishan Hall. At this time, Liu Changan had already returned before her.

I walked in quietly and saw that the Liu and Xu families were already arguing in the living room of Jishan Hall.

Unlike when she just left, which could barely be considered a "discussion", now the two families are on the verge of fighting.

The Duke of Zhenguo grabbed Liu Xiu by the collar, his eyes wide open as he shouted, "You want my daughter to be a widow? Who do you think you are? Is your son a celestial being?"

On the other side, Liu Ye, Liu Wenrui, and Old Lady Lai had also returned. They were sweating profusely as they tried to stop the Xu family. They probably knew they were not in the right, so they let the Xu family members curse at them but just didn't move away.

"You, are you being reasonable?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was so anxious when she was stopped that she raised her hand and pushed Old Lady Lai hard.

"Ouch!"

Old Mrs. Lai staggered and almost fell after being pushed, but she didn't dare to move away.

Her poor grandson was already disabled. If, as the imperial physician had said, he could never stand up again, then he would no longer be worthy of a noble lady. Even if the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo was captured, she would still be the best and most prestigious woman her grandson could have.

Must hold on tightly.

We must not let his family cancel the engagement!

Old Lady Lai remained steadfast, smiling humbly, "My dear in-laws, please don't worry. It's impossible to cancel the engagement. The two children have already been worshipped by heaven and earth. There's no point in taking them back. The marriage certificate has been recorded by the government, so we are now husband and wife."

"Let's find the child first, and then, then, Wenbo's illness can be cured!"

"What's the cure? Zhao Yuanzheng said there's no cure. Your family should stop wasting time on having a child. What Minglu couple? They didn't even have their wedding night, but my Ruyi is still virgin!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo screamed in anger, and her men pushed even harder.

Old Mrs. Lai was old and had been stimulated. She was not able to defend herself and was pushed to the ground.

"Oh, Grandma!" Liu Qingru had been holding her up and was almost dragged down. She was furious, but also felt this was a rare opportunity to curry favor with her grandmother. She suddenly pinched her waist, glared at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and shouted, "My grandmother is so old, she could be your mother, and you actually pushed her!"

"Do you understand etiquette and respect?!"

"Also, your daughter disappeared on her wedding night. Who knows which wild man abducted her? She's been through so many hands now. How can she be still intact?"

"She is deflowered!"

"My eldest brother is still willing to have her, which is already a blessing from your family. You are not grateful, but instead you are yelling at him. It is really against the will of heaven. Since ancient times, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Xu Ruyi is a daughter-in-law of the Liu family after she enters the Liu family. My eldest brother drowned her in the pond. It is my family's business. Why should you go back?"

"My eldest brother has already married her and has prayed to the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors. How many men do you want to marry to your daughter?"

"Is this the tradition of your Zhenguogong Mansion?"

Liu Qingru is a mean person. When she is angry, her words are incredibly vicious.

In the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, everyone, including the servants, turned green in the face, and the guests also frowned as they listened.

Now that the room was in such a mess, none of them could get a word in or try to persuade anyone.

They all started fighting.

Liu Wenbai was carried by the servants and lay on the couch. His eyes lit up when he listened. It was rare for him to like his half-sister so much.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo turned pale, barely able to breathe. Tears of embarrassment streamed from her eyes, and she pointed at Liu Qingru with trembling hands, "You, you shrew, how dare you? How dare you say that about my daughter? My family has five generations of dukes, founding ministers, and you, you slandered my family's reputation. I, I..."

"My daughter disappeared from your house! It's because of your family's lax management that my daughter got into trouble. Why are you blaming us?"

She roared loudly.

Upon hearing this, the guests nodded silently in agreement.

Indeed, the Liu family was in the wrong in this matter. They looked at Liu Xiu with disapproval and sighed, "Duke Liu, please take good care of your daughter and don't let her talk too much..."

Liu Xiu frowned fiercely and shouted at Song, "That's you..."

He wanted to say: That is the daughter of the Song family. She has nothing to do with the Liu family. Her name is not even in the family tree. The Song family should naturally be in charge of Liu Qingru's upbringing and etiquette. She offended the Xu family, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion should also find the Song family to argue. However, before he could finish his words, a sharp female voice suddenly came from outside.

"Xu Ruyi's disappearance cannot be blamed on the Duke's Mansion at all. It was her. She eloped with her own brother, and it was she who injured our young master. You, you are the thief crying thief and turning the tables."

With a mournful cry, Liu Caodeng rushed in, wrapped in a fragrant breeze. She passed the crowd, her eyes misty with tears, and ran to Liu Wenbai with incredible precision. With a thud, she knelt down at the foot of the couch, wailing bitterly, "Oh my God, my prince, my prince, you are so wronged, so wronged!"

"Xu Ruyi, she, she, that bitch, that whore, she committed incest and eloped with her own brother, putting the blame on you. It's simply a heinous crime, and yet her parents even came to our house to beat us up!"

"Where's the shame?"

"Is there any justice?"

Her voice shocked everyone in the room! !

elopement?

incest?

Brother?

"You, what did you say?" Liu Xiu shouted.

Old Mrs. Lai was also confused. "You, who are you?"

"Old Madam, Lord Duke, I am the servant of the Crown Prince. My name is Liu Caodeng. Today is the Crown Prince's wedding. I have gone to the back room to pray to the gods and Buddha, asking the Crown Prince and his wife to live happily together until old age. Who would have thought, who would have thought..." Liu Caodeng knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

She gritted her teeth, her mind spinning rapidly as she pieced together the gossip she had heard. She said sadly, "I saw the Crown Prince's Consort, dressed in coarse cloth, running hand in hand with a man near the back room. Wow, they were so intimate, they stopped to kiss and hug each other!"

"I felt something was amiss, so I hid and watched. Then, I heard the Crown Prince's wife calling that man 'Second Brother'. They were calling each other brother and sister, and they said, 'We've been in love for a long time, but no one in the world would allow us to, so we agreed to elope and spend our lives together.'"

"They also said that if the prince discovered them, they would just go all out and beat him up."

"Duke, old lady, it's the Xu family's daughter's fault. Our family has never wronged them. His family raised an incestuous daughter and, knowing full well, married that bitch to the Crown Prince!"

"They, they are such bullies!"

"At that time, I wanted to rush out and die with them, but I couldn't beat the adulterer, so I could only hide. I saw them climb over the wall and escape, and then I hid for a while before I dared to come out..."
