Spring Drunk Chang'an

In the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, Liu Qingru got the first place and grabbed Liu Xiu to complain and beg her to rescue Aunt Lai. However, Liu Xiu was now in a state of heavy pain, so how could he have the mood to care about a mere concubine?

What's more, this concubine was so bold that she replaced his legitimate daughter~~

Don't look at the fact that he exchanged his eldest son for his illegitimate son so lightly, for more than 20 years, without any hesitation. Even when he was caught, he didn't feel any remorse and didn't think he was wrong. However, when others did the same thing as him!

He will not be understanding and will only think that Lai deserves to die!

after all……

The only woman he truly loved in his life was Qiu Tong. Even his first wife, Song, could not get any emotion from him, let alone Lai?

To die is to die.

What's the deal?

"Qingru, don't..." Nonsense, get out of the way!

Liu Xiu wanted to scold him, but before he could say anything, Old Lady Lai, who was walking a little slower, glared at him and fiercely pushed Liu Qingru away. Her wrinkled face was ferocious and terrifying, and she couldn't wait to roar, "Son, Xiu'er, what's going on? What happened in front of the palace? Why? Why did the Emperor demote our family's title when Wen Bo was clearly the victim?"

"why?"

"what happened?"

Emperor Yingwu issued an imperial decree, demoting Duke Ningguo to Marquis Ningguo. This decree was issued at the same time as the Xu family's confiscation of property. The imperial eunuch personally announced the arrival of the Ningguo Marquis's residence. However, at that time, Liu Xiu was still frantically arresting people at the Xu family, so it was Old Lady Lai who led the group.

Old Mrs. Lai is almost going crazy.

Recently, her considerate daughter-in-law divorced with her grandchildren. Her eldest grandson was inexplicably found to be the child of an adulterer. A slut named Qu Yaojing, who appeared out of nowhere in the mansion, bewitched her son and made him an unfilial son. She was so old, and still had to endure the bullying of her "out-of-law daughter-in-law." Finally, her grandson got married to a powerful grandson-in-law, which seemed to have covered up the bad reputation of being the "child of an adulterer." But then, before they even had time to celebrate, her grandson was beaten to the point of being paralyzed, and her grandson-in-law eloped with her own brother!

The granddaughter who was adopted and raised since childhood became a concubine's daughter, and the only relative of the mansion's family, Lai, was sentenced to death in exchange for the child?

How could Mrs. Lai, a woman in her seventies, endure these waves of trouble? She was already struggling to hold on, and now, in the end, her title was demoted!

Ningguo Mansion, a title that was hereditary for five generations before being abolished, just, it became a marquisate inexplicably?

How could that be possible? After she dies, how would she explain this to her husband?!

"Xiu'er, what's going on? Why would His Majesty demote our family's title? This isn't right. This is truly wrong. It can't be demoted. It can't be demoted. The title is the foundation of our family and Liu Xiu's support. Go and beg His Majesty. He can punish our family with anything. No, don't demote us!"

Old Mrs. Lai cried bitterly.

Facing his biological mother, Liu Xiu was not as casual as he was with Liu Qingru. Enduring a headache, he reluctantly explained to her, "Mother, the Lai family committed a heinous crime and switched the legitimate and illegitimate children. His Majesty blamed me for not managing the household properly and wanted to demote me and fine me. However, Lord Cheng'en is also in the hall. You know, I had a grudge with the Song family because of Wen Bo's matter. She hates me deeply and used the exchange of legitimate and illegitimate children to keep harassing me. She also coerced the Crown Prince and forced His Majesty to deal with me!"

"Your Majesty had no choice but to demote me."

"Mother, this is all Lai's fault for being so bold. I am innocent too!"

Liu Xiu wiped his tears and complained endlessly.

He truly felt innocent. He had no idea that Lai had traded a concubine's daughter for a legitimate one. God had mercy on him. He was a man, and he didn't care whether his daughter was legitimate or illegitimate. She wasn't Qiu Tong's biological daughter, so what difference did it make? It was all an arranged marriage, and a dowry was all that was given away.

What does it have to do with him whether it is changed or not?

It was clearly Lai who did the evil, but Song insisted on blaming him, which shows how narrow-minded she is. And that Liu Changan, she was clearly in front of the hall, but she kept following the Song family and didn't even look at her biological father. The Song family wanted to record her in the family tree, but she never refuted it, let alone pleaded with the Emperor for herself!

As a daughter, this is extremely unfilial!

Liu Xiu was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Mrs. Lai didn't care about her son's feelings at all. "Oh, so it was Lord Cheng'en who said the bad things. Well, well, Xiu'er, go and beg him, no matter what. After all, you were once his son-in-law, and you and Zhilan had been husband and wife for twenty years. Oh, and isn't Zhilan resenting you because of Wenbo and that wild woman?"

"Now, poor Wenbo, he has become a paraplegic. He can no longer inherit the title of our mansion. So, then, Xiu'er, go and ask Zhilan to come back."

"You can ask Zhilan to bring that child, uh, yes, Yu Ge'er, right? You can ask Zhilan to bring him back and make him the prince. Or, if you think that the child has been raised outside and has not received any education and is not capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility, then you can ask Wenrui to take over. After all, he is Zhilan's child and the grandson of Lord Cheng'en. The Song family won't be picky!"

"What's more, Wenrui is such a filial and good boy. He supports our family!"

Old Lady Lai clapped her hands. Cheng Ran felt that she had come up with a brilliant idea. She looked at her son with shining eyes and said, "Xiu'er, listen to your mother. No matter what, the original couple is always the best. Beat up that mistress and sell her off. Then apologize to Zhilan. She is a soft-tempered person. She will forgive you and will also tolerate Wenbo!"

"By then, we will still be a harmonious family, and Duke Cheng'en will still be your father-in-law. He and the Crown Prince will definitely plead with His Majesty on your behalf and restore your title. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Xiu'er, Xiu'er, Wenbo is already useless, don't be confused!"

Mrs. Lai burst into tears and gave such sincere advice, as if she were a pitiful elder who was wholeheartedly concerned for her children, but...

Every word she said was about self-interest. She abandoned her disabled eldest grandson without hesitation, and never mentioned her newly adopted Liu Changan! Or maybe she didn't take her so-called legitimate granddaughter seriously at all!

"Mother, how can you say that?" Liu Xiu, though a brute, was truly sincere and devoted to the woman he loved and the eldest son he had loved for half his life. He looked at Old Lady Lai with a look of complete disbelief. He waved his hands decisively and said sternly, "Qiu Tong is the woman I love most, the only wife I have ever chosen. What concubine? What expulsion? I want to grow old with her!"

"As for Wenbo, that poor child has suffered such a great hardship and needs his family's care. How can we abandon him?"

"Mother, Wenbo was so filial to you in the past, how could you be so heartless!!"
