Spring Drunk Chang'an

Qu Qiutong wanted to stay in Jishan Hall to accompany her son.

Logically speaking...

A grown-up son avoids his mother. Liu Wenbai is a grown man who can get married and has a concubine. Qu Qiutong wants to stay in his courtyard and spend the night with him. This is a very unethical decision. However, look at the facts~~

My eldest son is paralyzed below the scalp. Not to mention keeping him in the hospital and spending the night with him, even lying on his bed and hugging him to coax him to sleep, nothing will happen!

Liu Xiu certainly believed his wife and children. "Okay, you try to persuade Wen Bo, and I'll definitely find him a good doctor!"

He spoke softly, then lowered his head and whispered goodbye to Liu Wenbai, and even kissed Qu Qiutong on the cheek. Then, he reluctantly left Jishan Hall and walked towards the study in the front yard.

Two personal servants carried a lantern that could make him angry to death and led the way for him.

Liu Xiu hugged his waist and followed with a decadent posture.

He lowered his head, his brows and eyes were listless, and he looked unlucky.

The group walked more than a hundred steps and had just stepped out of the Jishan Hall and had not yet reached the garden when suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the side at the foot of the wall, took a few steps, and rushed to Liu Xiu in a daze.

"Oh my God, who is it?"

"How dare you challenge the Marquis!!"

The two lantern boys were startled and jumped to protect Liu Xiu, shouting in shock.

They lifted up the angry lantern high.

The candlelight shone on the dark shadow's face, revealing a handsome and elegant face with sinister eyes.

It was Liu Wenrui. He frowned and glared, "You little bastards, are you blind? You can't recognize who this young master is? How dare you curse me?"

"So it's Second Master? Yes, it was us servants who offended you. Please forgive me, Second Master."

Seeing this, the two lantern boys quickly bowed and begged for mercy.

Liu Wenrui curled his lips and glanced at Liu Xiu's expression, but he didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he walked up to his father with a playful smile, clasped his fists and bowed, "Son greets father!"

"You must be tired after a busy day. It's time to go back to the hospital to rest. Let your son take you there~"

"No need!" Liu Xiu raised his hand and touched his heart, which had just been frightened and beating wildly. His face was very ugly, with a hint of lividity and fear. He said: "A lot of things happened today. Let's not talk about your eldest brother for now. I have been suspended from my post, and our family's title has been demoted. I have to discuss with the Qingke how to win back the emperor's favor in the future~"

"Our family has been dukes for generations. If it ends in my generation, how will I explain this to my ancestors?"

"How can I sleep?"

"You go back, I'm going to the study!"

He waved his hand and sent the person away with a hint of impatience.

However, Liu Wenrui had waited for him for half the night, and he had a lot to say. After finally meeting him, how could he be willing to leave? Hearing Liu Xiu say this, he quickly said, "Dad, I am also a member of the family. It is my responsibility to contribute to the family's future. You are so old, and I feel sorry for you and want to share your worries."

"What's more, my eldest brother is in such a situation right now... well, it's my responsibility as a son to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family and be filial to you on my behalf~"

Liu Wenrui was sincere and tried his best to express his loyalty and filial piety.

However, Liu Xiu's brows furrowed more and more as he spoke, especially when he heard the words "shoulder the heavy responsibility for big brother", the vigilance and hatred in his eyes almost showed.

Liu Wenrui, the son of the Song family, what did he want to do? Wenbo had just been in trouble, and he couldn't help but show up and try to take his brother's place?

And share his worries?

hehe! !

Liu Xiu sneered twice, his eyes becoming even colder. He said sternly, "Wenrui, you've been naughty since childhood. Even in your twenties, you're still unskilled in both literature and martial arts. You're a typical playboy who's never taken care of business in or outside the mansion. Apart from spending money on women, you can do nothing else!"

"How can you help your father?"

"Not even close to your brother!"

What Liu Xiu said was really cruel and showed no mercy at all.

It was completely a scolding to his face.

Liu Wenrui's face changed drastically. He had never had a good temper. He was violent and wanton. He would hit or scold the maids and servants who had served him for many years if they said something wrong unintentionally. Liu Xiu humiliated him in public like this. Liu Wenrui was so angry that his heart suddenly rose and his eyes turned red.

If someone else said this to him, even if it was his uncle or his mother, he would yell and walk away in anger, but...

He has abandoned his mother and chosen his father.

My eldest brother is paralyzed and can no longer stand up. The title in the mansion, the title~~

Liu Wenrui gritted his teeth, suppressing the anger in his heart. He forced a smile and said, "Dad, I used to be so disappointing, no wonder you couldn't stand it. But back then, my eldest brother was so capable and promising. As a younger brother, I could naturally live a carefree and comfortable life under his wings. But now..."

"Ugh!"

He sighed in a mock manner and said deliberately, "Brother has suffered a great disaster and is on the verge of death. I am our only healthy son. Must I step forward and help him?"

"Otherwise, apart from you, there is no decent man in our house to take over the family, what should we do?"

Liu Wenrui said softly.

Every word was a reminder to Liu Xiu that his most beloved eldest son was already disabled. No matter how heartbroken or reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do. He could not save him. The only one he could train and rely on was his second son!

If we don’t choose him, can we choose the lame man in Duke Cheng’en’s mansion?

Liu Xiu thought that even his own mother wouldn't give it to him!!

Liu Wenrui was very confident. He knew his father had no other choice but to take care of him. So, he ignored his increasingly ugly face and said boldly, "Dad, I know I wasn't very good before, but I will change. Teach me carefully, just like you taught my elder brother. I'm your son too, so I'm not stupid. I can definitely learn!"

"Besides, I haven't been staying in Duke Cheng'en's mansion for nothing these past few months. I've learned a lot about the ups and downs of life and economics from my uncle, and now that I'm back, I can put it all to use!"

He wanted to express that he had learned a lot of skills in the Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, but was willing to bring them back to the Marquis' Mansion to use them. That was his filial piety to his father and his loyalty to the mansion.

However, in Liu Xiu's opinion~~

What does Liu Wenrui, the son of the Song family, mean?

Was he using the Cheng'en Mansion to pressure him? Did he learn some skills from his uncle so he could take the position of his beloved, pitiful, helpless Wen Bo?

Wenbo can definitely be cured, so why is it that nothing happened?

With him in the mansion, there was no shortage of men to support the family. He could easily hold on for twenty or thirty years until Wenbo was cured. Even if God was jealous of his talent and Wenbo couldn't be cured, he could find a wife for Wenbo and raise grandchildren in the future. How could it be Liu Wenrui's turn?
