Spring Drunk Chang'an

"Your illegitimate daughter died suddenly for no apparent reason, yet you didn't even investigate and allowed the concubine to 'bury her.' Your legitimate wife hemorrhaged during childbirth, and the delivery room was a mess, enough to convince someone to swap the child..."

"A fire broke out in the servants' quarters at home for no apparent reason, and more than a dozen people were burned in a row."

"You don't know any of this!"

"Liu Xiu, my daughter didn't realize it because she had postpartum problems and was bedridden for seven or eight years, nearly dying!"

"You didn't notice?"

"Are you also suffering from postpartum illness?"

"Or are you addicted to 'changing' children? Are you happy to raise a concubine's child as if it were his own?"

Song Bin sneered, his tone extremely harsh.

Liu Xiu trembled his lips and his eyes were blank.

I didn't react for a moment.

Song was unusually sharp. Her face was pale, she was breathing heavily, and she stared at Liu Qingru and Aunt Lai for a moment...

The two people, holding hands, shoulders touching, have already snuggled together!

How come she hadn't noticed before? Qingru's eyebrows really did resemble Aunt Lai's?

Did she ignore it?

Uh, no, no, Qingru's appearance is 30% similar to Liu Xiu. The faint resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes to Aunt Lai was mistaken by her as Old Madam Lai...

Aunt Lai is Old Lady Lai's distant niece, and they look somewhat alike.

She, she never doubted it!

She always felt that Qingru took after her grandmother!

Song opened her eyes in confusion for a long while, and then, as if her eyes were about to break, she suddenly turned around and stared at Old Madam Song in a daze, "Mother, Qingru is not my child?"

"She, she was also replaced?"

"Yes!" Old Mrs. Song sighed, with a look of 'disappointment'.

Song hesitated, "Really?"

"How could your mother and I lie to you about something like this?" Song Bin shook his head, feeling both pity and helplessness. He said, "You, Zhilan, you foolish child! Your parents have really taught you a fool!"

"You..."

He sighed deeply.

Song was stunned, her lips trembling as she looked around blankly, as if asking, or as if muttering to herself, "Then, what about my child?"

"Qingru is Aunt Lai's daughter, so where is the child I gave birth to? Where did she go?"

"She, she was thrown away?"

Her confused mind recalled what her parents said.

Feast, feast by the river?

"Who is that child? Zhilan, don't you have any idea in your mind?" Old Mrs. Song sighed and turned her eyes away.

She looked at Liu Changan.

Seeing this, Song naturally looked over.

Her eyes met Liu Changan.

The two looked at each other.

Liu Changan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Excited? Thrilled? Terrified? Satisfied? Happy to have things righted and the truth revealed?

It seems to be both, and it also seems to be neither.

This is the second time!

In her previous life, she had also experienced the scene of being recognized by so-called "relatives." However, at that time, she lived in a shabby servant's room. While toiling day after day, someone suddenly broke in, grabbed her without a word, and scrubbed her like an animal. Then, Song hugged her with tears in her eyes and cried bitterly...

Only the Song family.

As for the rest, her 'fathers and brothers' did not show up, it was not like they were there in the public eye!

Ever since the day she was reborn, Liu Changan has been looking forward to the day when things would be right and she would be recognized. Now that her life has finally come true, she doesn't seem that happy.

What's there to be happy about if you have a scumbag dad?

but……

In addition to her 'father', she now has a biological mother and brother, which is a good thing.

What's more, in her two lives, it was her grandparents who found her, and they didn't despise her because she was born a slave, which was good enough.

Liu Changan pursed his lips, turned his head weakly, and smiled at Song Bin and Old Lady Song.

Laughing...

It's a bit ugly.

Like crying.

At that moment, Song's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. She gasped, her eyes red, "Dad, Mom, my daughter is Chang'an, right?"

"Chang'an is, she is my child?"

Her voice broke.

Old Mrs. Song said nothing and nodded silently.

Song Bin lowered his eyes, his expression filled with guilt and heartache, "Zhilan, our family is so grateful to Chang'an, but we are so sorry for her."

Without Chang'an, they probably still don't know Liu Xiu's true identity, nor can they find Yu Ge'er. In fact, he was even plotted against by Prince Yan during the border war. The Cheng'en Mansion no longer exists, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be affected!

The Song family received great favors from Chang'an.

Yet, he owes her the most.

They were Chang'an's elders, her mother, uncle, grandfather, and grandmother who should have protected her. They were supposed to be her strongest support, her foundation, her backers, but...

The thing is, the child grew up on his own from a thorny perspective.

Although she had family affection and had adoptive parents who treated her very well, they were slaves after all. They had a hard time protecting themselves, so how could they provide good conditions for their children?

Not to mention material things, even safety is difficult to guarantee!

Whenever Song Bin thought of the suffering Chang'an had endured in the Ningguo Mansion, where he was targeted, plotted against, bullied, ridiculed, and despised, and even nearly killed, he would feel a deep sense of guilt.

In comparison, Liu Qingru, a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, with fine clothes and delicious food, a group of servants, and enjoying the benefits of being a legitimate daughter, is extremely unfilial and has harmed Chang'an...

Even though she tried to persuade herself in her heart that she was not aware of Lai's daughter-changing affair, she was still a baby at that time!

Song Bin couldn't help but want to vent his anger!

This is also the reason why he opposed what his wife said - to expose it in a low-key manner!

When recognizing Yu Ge's childhood, the two governments acted privately. That was to ensure a smooth divorce for their daughter. Taking the child away was a helpless move. There was no other way. But the situation in Chang'an was very different.

What did the child do wrong? Why was he secretly recognized?

She is the legitimate daughter of Duke Ningguo and the apple of the Duke Chengen's eye. She should take back her identity with confidence!

They disdain Liu Xiu, their biological father, and don't want him. That's their business, but Chang'an's identity cannot be hidden!

I don’t want it, I don’t want it!

If you don’t give it, it won’t work!

As for hiding it from Zhilan, it was also his idea. His confused and docile daughter needed some stimulation. Otherwise, Song Bin was really afraid that after putting things right, Zhilan would not be able to make up her mind and would still have that "sticky" mother-daughter relationship with Liu Qingru!

Qingru was different from Liu Wenbai. When she was replaced, she knew nothing. He and his wife had not found any evidence that she knew the "truth".

Song Bin was afraid that his daughter would be soft-hearted.

So he thought, why not recognize her in public today, cut off her escape route, and...

There are also unexpected gains.

Liu Qingru relied on the unbreakable blood relationship between mother and daughter and recklessly approached the Ningguo Mansion, which completely hurt her daughter's heart!
