Spring Drunk Chang'an

The guests had taken their leave for the third time.

Apparently...

fail.

Liu Qingru poked her head out from Aunt Lai's arms, her pretty face full of determination. She shook her head fiercely at Song who had called her, "I won't leave. Mother, father, and elder brother need me the most right now..."

"When something happens at home, as their daughter and sister, it's natural for me to accompany them through this difficult time."

"Mother, you left to find peace and quiet, but I feel sorry for Daddy and Big Brother. Besides, there's no female host in the house except Grandmother. If I leave with you, will Daddy have to take care of Big Brother? Women are more attentive. I must stay!"

She clenched her fists and strode towards Liu Xiu and Liu Wenbai, her eyes full of reluctance.

Song was stunned, her face blank.

Deep in the pupils, there was pain.

Outsiders didn't know the situation of the Liu family and thought that Liu Qingru staying to take care of her father and brother was a filial act, although it seemed that she was not very close to her biological mother - after all, she called Song "mother" and Liu Xiu "father", and the closeness of the relationship could be heard at once - which was a bit strange.

The daughter was raised in seclusion and was used to being close to her mother. Liu Qingru was removed from the family tree and divorced and returned to the Song family.

However, it is natural for father and daughter to have a good relationship, and outsiders can't say anything.

but……

There is nothing wrong with outsiders thinking this way, but Liu Qingru knows everything. Liu Wenbai is Qu Qiutong's son. That "family of three" caused the separation of Song mother and son and caused Liu Yu to suffer!

She knows it all.

However, faced with such a critical moment, she still chose the Liu family.

Even though Song was mentally prepared, she knew clearly that her daughter was closer to the Liu family, "..."

"Qingru, you, you really want to stay in the Ningguo Mansion?"

Song's voice trembled and her face turned pale.

My fingertips are shaking.

"That's right, mother, you don't have to force me. I must go back with you, but I won't. My surname is Liu, and I want to stay at home!" Liu Qingru held her head high with a firm look in her eyes.

She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to her father and brother.

Although the eldest brother was paralyzed, he was still young. Liu Qingru felt that those quack doctors who claimed that he could not be cured were shirking their responsibilities. No one would be paralyzed and unable to move just by slightly bumping his head.

If you take good care of it, I'm sure you can recover.

Moreover, even if he cannot be cured, there is still the second brother. Since the eldest brother is disabled, Dad will naturally try his best to bring the second brother back.

It's a pity that the second brother is not as knowledgeable as the eldest brother, but it doesn't matter. The purpose of her returning home is to participate in the selection and become the Crown Princess. It doesn't matter if her brother is not promising, as long as her father is willing to favor her and work hard for her.

Right now, Daddy and Big Brother are feeling sad and angry, so it's a perfect opportunity for her to express her true feelings.

Such an opportunity is truly rare.

She didn't care about her mother-in-law's feelings or Song's discomfort. Anyway, her mother was a very "mean" person, weak and incompetent. No matter how she treated her, she could always coax her back by acting coquettishly and apologizing in the future.

Liu Qingru didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Aunt Lai frowned slightly and shook her head at her.

Of course, this wasn't opposition, but rather a desire to get her to soften her words. Now, with so many people watching, she couldn't afford to be branded as 'disrespectful to her biological mother'.

Liu Qingru secretly curled her lips and stopped saying hurtful words. She just took a few steps closer to Liu Xiu.

At the same time, the look in her eyes when she looked at Liu Wenbai was even more distressed and sad.

That look, that expression, truly was like that of a sensible sister who was worried about her injured brother having no one to take care of him, afraid that he would suffer...

"My dear brother, you have such a pity that you had to suffer such a great misfortune on your wedding day. Our Ningguo Mansion has suffered such a disaster for no reason. I feel sad just thinking about it!"

Liu Qingru wept softly.

Seeing this, the guests couldn't help but sigh deeply. They also felt that the Ningguo Mansion had indeed suffered an unexpected disaster, and she put aside her slightly rude attitude towards the Song family.

After all, the girl is young, and she might be too anxious, so her words are impulsive.

We can't be too harsh on a little girl who has suffered such a great shock.

Among the guests, there was a gentlewoman who had some contact with Song and Liu Qingru in the past. She whispered, "Zhilan, it's rare for a child to be so filial. Let her stay."

"Even though you and Duke Liu, uh, you split up, Qingru is always his daughter and Wenbo's sister!"

"The child also feels sorry for her brother~"

Who is her brother?

Song's face was pale. She bit her lips hard, suppressing the words that were about to burst out of her throat. Her heart was boiling with emotions. In her mind, she could not help but recall the scenes of Liu Qingru and Yu Ge'er getting along...

rare!!

It has been so long since she returned home, but it seemed as if she had only seen Yu Ge'er a few times. She had never cared about Yu Ge'er, never said a few words to him, and even when Yu Ge'er was in so much pain while receiving treatment for his crippled leg, the whole family was with him.

Only Qingru never appeared from beginning to end.

Even Wenrui would come to see 'Big Brother' occasionally, but Qingru, she, she never called Yu Ge'er 'Brother'...

Yu Ge'er wanted to be close to his sister, so he took the initiative to chat with Qingru. Even though he didn't like going out, he asked Ji Nanny to push his wheelchair to meet her in Qingru's yard and give his sister the gift his parents gave him.

But Qingru's attitude towards him could almost be described as "contemptuous".

The relationship between Yu Ge'er and his sister is far from close. It is more than ten or a hundred times worse than that between him and Chang'an.

Originally, Song Shi didn't want to admit this fact, but now, seeing her own daughter, feeling extremely distressed about Liu Wenbo, her expression of genuine concern...

Liu Wenbai, a child born out of wedlock, she is obsessed with him and keeps talking about "family love and care"!

Yes!

Yes!!

Liu Wenbai had no blood relationship with her or the Song family. He was their family's enemy, but to Qingru, he was her half-brother. They were relatives, and she, their mother...

fail! !

What a failure!!

Qingru has never been close to her.

Just like, just like...

Song smiled bitterly and admitted this in great pain.

She looked at Liu Qingru deeply, as if she wanted to carve her face into her mind. After a long, long time, her voice was flat, and she seemed disappointed. She said, "Okay, if you want to stay, then stay. I'll send someone to bring your things back!"

"Qingru, you, you must take good care of your father and 'brother', mother..."

"Mother doesn't need you to worry anymore!"

"I, I will take care of the people I should take care of..."

Song murmured, as if she had made a decision.

Liu Qingru was delighted with her compromise and didn't even pay attention. Instead, she thought, "Song is indeed a weak person. She didn't even get angry when she humiliated her like this!"
