Spring Drunk Chang'an

Chang'an was saved by Qingmei and Laishun, and he certainly could not go against their kindness in educating him.

To put it more utilitarianly, you can't do that just for the sake of reputation.

But what if Qingmei forces me to stay?

If Old Madam Song were here, she might have used the status of the Cheng'en Mansion to pressure him, or perhaps even tried to trade it off, offering to support Liu Chengjin in exchange? But Mrs. Song wasn't that kind of person. All she could think of was to beg.

How could she beg someone to give her their well-raised daughter?

"Changan, how do you think I should tell Qingmei about this?"

Song was filled with fear.

Seeing her like this, Liu Changan: ...

She was also a little panicked.

Indeed, she believed that no matter where she was brought back, she would always be the daughter of Liu Laishun and Ai Qingmei, and the sister of Cheng Jin and Sanxi in this life, and this would never change even if the world ended and the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled. But, but, she would be included in someone else's family tree!

The true feelings are still there, but the name is gone!

"Madam, my mother, she..."

Liu Changan choked, and after a while, he smiled faintly, "I'll go with you to ask!"

After she said this, Song became even more panicked.

after all……

When Chang'an called Qingmei, he always called her "mother", and she, even now, is still called "Madam". From this title, we can know the status of her and Qingmei in Chang'an's heart!

There is definitely a gap.

"Okay, okay, Chang'an, stay with me!" Song held her daughter's hand tightly.

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder to the gate of the courtyard. At that time, the four members of the Liu family were all there.

Liu Chengjin had a day off today and was chatting with his father, Liu Laishun. Liu Sanxi was sitting by the window, counting his accounts with a small abacus. Ai Qingmei was carrying a basin of dirty clothes to the yard and was about to call her husband over to help pump water from the well, but before she could open her mouth...

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door.

Ai Qingmei put down the basin and shouted, "Who is it?" as she quickly walked to the door, wiped her hands with her apron, and opened the door directly. What she saw was Song and Liu Changan supporting each other.

When the two of them came into her sight, she suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Oh my God, Madam, Chang'an? You, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?"

"What happened?"

Her expression was one of extreme surprise.

After all, Song and Liu Chang'an had been through so much recently, their emotions had fluctuated so rapidly that their spirits were inevitably affected. Even though time had passed and they had calmed down a bit, their faces were still pale. Especially Song. She had cried several times today, her eyelids were red and swollen as if she had been beaten, her eyes were full of bloodshot, and her body was even shaking...

The two of them were even more flustered in the carriage, and their hair was a little messy as they rubbed against each other.

"Did anyone rob you guys?"

Ai Qingmei blurted out.

Very loud sound.

In the room, Liu Laishun, Liu Chengjin and Liu Sanxi heard the noise and hurried out. They ran to the door and saw the two men in person.

The three of them were equally surprised and asked almost in unison.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Liu Chang'an looked at the four concerned faces, slightly opened his red lips, but didn't know what was going on!

Song's face turned even paler, tears welled up in her eyes and fell uncontrollably.

"Madam, why are you crying? What happened? Tell me!" Ai Qingmei was so anxious that sweat was pouring down her forehead, and she kept asking.

I am getting more and more confused.

Song's tears fell like little fountains, dripping and dapping.

Several people froze there.

Seeing this, Liu Sanxi couldn't help but frowned and whispered, "Mom, no matter what happened, let's not block the door. Invite the lady and the eldest sister into the house, drink some hot tea to calm their nerves, maybe it will be fine!"

"There are so many people here, don't let anyone see anything!"

There are courtyards and streets everywhere, with houses next to each other. When they shout, people can see them when they open the door.

What has it become?

"Yes, yes, ma'am, please come with me into the house. Chang'an, come here too!" Ai Qingmei suddenly realized. She held Song's arm with one hand and Liu Chang'an's wrist with the other, and pulled them directly into the house.

Neither of them resisted and followed Ai Qingmei into the house obediently.

Liu Laishun and others closed the gate and followed in.

Everyone arrived at the lobby. Liu Sanxi rolled his eyes, closed the door, and went to make some hot tea. Ai Qingmei was holding the teacup and was about to hand it to Song. Then he invited her to the seat of honor, settled her down, and asked her carefully. The result was...

Before her tea reached Song's hands, Song stared at her eyes, and suddenly her eyes dropped.

She faced Ai Qingmei, brushed her sleeves, reached out to lift her skirt, and her knees softened as she knelt straight down in front of her. Then, she kowtowed to her at a very fast speed.

"OMG!!"

Ai Qingmei was caught off guard and watched helplessly as her former master kowtowed to her. In an instant, she was so frightened that her blood ran cold. She didn't even realize that she should have helped the man up quickly, but it was completely out of instinct. Her knees were weak and she knelt down directly.

It looked like a couple bowing to each other.

On the side, Liu Laishun, Liu Chengjin and Liu Sanxi were also frightened. Even though their family had escaped slavery and become good citizens, and even Liu Chengjin had become an official in Beijing, if it were to be told to others, the Liu family would also be a family of officials. However, this could not change the fact that they were once the servants of the Cheng'en Mansion!

Their entire family, going back three generations, have been servants in the Cheng'en Mansion!

Song - before getting married, she was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, after getting married, she was the wife of the Duke. Even after getting divorced, she was still respected and valued. How could she go to his house with tears in her eyes and kneel down on the spot without saying a word?

Liu Laishun and Liu Chengjin, father and son, had the same soft temper. Without asking any questions, they knelt down at the same time as Ai Qingmei out of physical reaction.

Liu Sanxi, a young woman with a more aggressive demeanor, ran forward, squatted down, and took Song's arm. As she pulled her up, she shouted, "Madam, what are you doing? Are you feeling unwell? Is your knee hurting? Or something?"

"Sister, sister, please go and get a doctor for Madam..."

She thought that Song was not feeling well and could not stand steadily, so she knelt down.

"Uh..." Liu Changan choked. She was a little surprised that Song would kneel down to her adoptive mother, but it was not completely beyond her expectations. After all, although there was a huge gap in status between her biological mother and her adoptive mother, Song was indeed of that kind of temper. She was gentle and kind, and she didn't care too much about these things!

"Sanxi, don't be afraid, Madam is fine!"

She pursed her lips and whispered soothing words, then sighed softly, lifted her skirt slightly, and knelt down.

In the main house of the Liu family courtyard, most people were shorter than they used to be and knelt straight.

Only Liu Sanxi was squatting alone.

Liu Sanxi: ...

? ? ? ?

Uh, isn't she a bit out of place? Should she, uh, kneel down too?
