Spring Drunk Chang'an

No one knew the hatred in Liu Wenrui's heart. He was kicked all over the ground by Liu Xiu, bumping and bruising himself. His whole body was covered in blood, and his face was covered in blood. His facial features were red and swollen, his eyes were blue and purple, and his outline could not be seen. Who would care to observe whether he was hateful or angry?

"Wenrui, Wenrui, how are you?"

Old Lady Lai was terrified and could only watch her son leave before she dared to rush to her grandson and cried bitterly, ordering the servant, "Hurry, hurry, carry the second young master to my yard and call a doctor..."

"Old lady, it's dark in the middle of the night, there's curfew outside, and we can't leave the house. Where can we find a doctor?"

On the side, the manager reported with a bitter face.

Old Lady Lai was startled and quickly said, "Then, go find the court doctor and ask him to come over!"

"Uh, old lady, the court doctors were all dismissed by the Marquis at the wedding because they couldn't cure the prince. Have you forgotten?"

"We don't have a doctor in our house right now!"

The manager's expression was even more bitter.

Old Lady Lai was completely stunned. After a long pause, she said, "Then, call the man who is good at treating injuries. Then, quickly carry the Second Young Master to my yard. Send someone to open my inner storehouse and take out all the good medicinal herbs inside~"

"Pick the good ones!"

She gave orders hurriedly.

"Yes, didn't you hear what the old lady said? Hurry up and find a stretcher!" The manager responded and turned around to shout.

The servants naturally obeyed the order, hurriedly found a stretcher, carefully lifted Liu Wenrui's arms and legs and put him on it, and flew all the way to the yard.

Old Lady Lai ordered that Liu Wenrui be placed on her couch.

The servants did as they were told quietly.

Liu Wenrui finally lay down peacefully on the bed. The maids brought hot water and a post to carefully wipe the bloodstains on his face and body. The inner treasury was also opened, and the manager brought the ointment for treating external injuries. Old Mrs. Lai personally applied the ointment to her grandson.

While cursing, "Your cruel father, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He was really bewitched by the demon surnamed Qu. How could he do such a cruel thing? My Wenrui, my poor grandson..."

In the courtyard, Liu Qingru, who heard the noise, also rushed over. After asking about the situation, she sat down beside the bed and cried with her grandmother, saying that she felt sorry for her "second brother". In her words, she did not mention Liu Xiu, Liu Wenbai and Qu Qiutong at all.

She didn't even agree with what Old Lady Lai called "Qu Yaojing"~

But the courtyard was so messy that no one paid any attention to her. The steward had found the servant that Old Lady Lai wanted, a man who was good at treating injuries. He was a servant who used to serve the palace doctor. He had carefully learned a few tricks and was considered a half-medicine apprentice. He could treat Liu Wenrui's scrapes and scrapes, and he was able to do it, but...

He was really helpless in doing anything about being kicked and vomiting blood.

As the old saying goes: If a young man vomits blood, he will not be able to survive for many years. Even if he lives a long life, he will still be a useless person!

Who knew whether Liu Wenrui vomited blood because he was simply kicked or because he was injured in a vital part of his body? The servant had learned this skill secretly, so he had no idea.

Old Mrs. Lai had no choice but to instruct the steward to arrange servants to guard the door of the house early, and as soon as the curfew was over, go out of the house to call a doctor!

The steward responded.

As for Liu Wenrui, after being beaten, he applied medicine and the pain on his body was not so severe, but his chest felt stuffy again, so he fell into a deep sleep.

Upon seeing this, Old Lady Lai quickly ordered the servants to leave and not disturb the Second Young Master's rest. She herself slept on the chaise longue in front of the window. Liu Qingru held her hand and advised with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, you are so old, how can you sleep on a soft couch? Don't hurt yourself. Second Brother is fine now, the servants will take care of him. You can come to my room to rest!"

Old Mrs. Lai insisted on not agreeing and insisted on staying with her grandson.

Liu Qingru looked at her in a thousand embarrassments, feeling extremely distressed, but she never mentioned a word about wanting to take care of her second brother for her grandmother. Instead, she was persuaded by Old Lady Lai, "Go back, Qingru. Grandma knows your difficulties. Alas, my wonderful granddaughter, whom I raised with great effort, has become a concubine's child!"

"Your aunt, she, ah... although she was confused, I also understand her. She only gave birth to one child in her life, and she thought about you wholeheartedly. This world is always harsh on women. She wanted you to have a legitimate status, a family outside the mansion, and have the Empress as a backer. In the end, ah, who would have thought that your father would be bewitched by a demon and forced you away!"

"He really hurt Zhilan's heart. Otherwise, even if such a gentle and kind daughter-in-law knew that your aunt had swapped children, she would probably keep the matter secret for the sake of our family's reputation."

"It's clearly stated that you and that, that Liu Changan, are twins. She had a bad fate and became a nun since she was young to avoid disaster. Now that there's nothing wrong, you can just bring her back. Why did you have to make such a fuss!"

Old Mrs. Lai sighed, thinking about the influence Qu Qiutong had on Liu Xiu - she had made a good and filial son like him forget his mother. She was really afraid of, disgusted with, and hated him to the core. Therefore, Song Zhilan, who stood on the opposite side of Qu Qiutong, naturally became the perfect daughter-in-law in her eyes.

Old Mrs. Lai had completely forgotten all her past dissatisfaction with Song Zhilan - cowardice, incompetence, inability to control her husband, inability to look after her children, etc.

She even chose to forget about the divorce, which was something Song Zhilan had forcefully proposed because the Song family had leverage over Liu Xiu!

but……

She forgot that Liu Qingru didn't have it. Now that the truth was revealed, she didn't have to recognize Song Zhilan as her mother, so she didn't want to listen to Mrs. Lai's flattery of that woman.

"Grandmother, the Song family divorced because Daddy traded my eldest brother for Madam Song's eldest son. My brother on that side is called Liu Yudi. He was naughty when he was young. When Daddy was disciplining him, he accidentally injured his leg. He was also naughty and refused to take care of the injury. He insisted on playing around, and ended up breaking his bones and being unable to stand up. Madam Song is petty and stubborn. She took her anger out on Daddy and refused to forgive him. Daddy was unwilling to give up Brother Wenbo, so the quarrel between the two generals got to a point where it couldn't be resolved!"

"At that time, Madam Song couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Now, with the incident with my concubine, I'm afraid she will be even less tolerant. Moreover, our family has suffered a disaster and has been demoted. Dad has also been demoted. We are on the verge of defeat. Over at the Cheng'en Mansion, there are the Empress, the Crown Prince, the old Duke, and the old lady..."

"Grandmother, when Madam Song divorced, she took me to her home. I stayed there for a while, observing with a cold eye, and I could sense the temperament of her family. It was truly snobbish, and extremely snobbish. At that time, the matter of the concubine exchanging children had not been ruined. The eldest daughter of the mansion, Song Zhinian, was aloof and arrogant. She never paid any attention to me. I think she thought that I, the daughter of a divorced woman, had no future and was not worthy of her friendship."

"Haha, it's pitiful that when my parents were harmonious, every time I went to Duke Cheng'en's mansion, Miss Song would always call me 'sister' affectionately. Who would have thought that her attitude would change so quickly in the blink of an eye!"
