Spring Drunk Chang'an

In his previous life, when the Song family took him back into the mansion and "rectified the chaos", Liu Changan endured the treatment he endured - despised by thousands of people, cursed by thousands of people. No matter whether they were masters or servants, or even the lowest cleaning woman, they would sneer at him and say a few words, "lowly and lowly", "unworthy of your noble position"...

Even the dogs on the roadside would bark at her and glare at her. She was truly the target of public criticism. Except for the seriously ill Song, no one looked up to her, not to mention the current situation where everyone praised her and felt sorry for her!

Liu Changan was a little uncomfortable, but she was actually happy. After all, who wants to be scolded when they can be praised? As for those who looked down on her behind her back and gossiped about her in private...

She doesn't care.

Who doesn't have people talking behind their backs? Who doesn't talk behind others' backs? As long as the dance doesn't hit her face, she can pretend it doesn't exist!

Anyway, there was the unlucky person who was danced in the face and scolded to the face - that is Liu Qingru, the other protagonist of "Setting Right the Chaos". This girl who was changed from a legitimate daughter to a concubine, from a "truly noble lady" with a prominent maternal family, an aunt of the Empress, and a cousin of the Crown Prince, became a woman whose birth mother was a criminal, a concubine herself, no brothers, and even carried the original sin of pretending to be a legitimate daughter...

Tasteless!

Yes, it was useless. Before Liu Qingru was "rectified," she had a bad reputation among the noble ladies of the capital. After all, she had a bad temper, an arrogant personality, and average character. She had no talent or knowledge. Apart from her good looks, she had nothing to show for it.

But at that time, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Duke and the nephew of the Queen, and her status was "noble". Everyone was willing to flatter her and coax her to the sky. But now, she has fallen into the mud and has not made any good connections in her daily life. Wouldn't she be laughed at?

When Shi Xiaoyue came to play at Duke Cheng'en's mansion, she told Liu Chang'an that she had witnessed with her own eyes the noblewoman from the Marquis of Qi's mansion, who had been Liu Qingru's best friend, slap her in the face and call her a "slut"...

When Liu Changan accompanied his aunt to a banquet, he also happened to see a few little girls from unknown families gathered together, sneering and playfully gossiping about Liu Qingru.

At that time, Liu Qingru was near those girls. Liu Changan saw it clearly. She was so angry that her hair stood on end and her teeth were about to break. But she didn't dare to refute or show her face.

That situation!

She is much better than in her previous life.

Liu Changan would not deny that she was gloating and felt very happy. She wished that Liu Qingru's life would be better, that her life would be more difficult, that she would be unable to live in such pain and misery...

well! !

It seemed she had indeed not inherited her biological mother, the Song family's good qualities, and was unable to 'repay evil with kindness'. She wished Liu Qingru would be ten thousand times more miserable than she had been in her previous life!

But she had never mentioned these words to anyone before. Having just returned home, she still wanted to maintain a good image in front of her grandfather and mother!

"Okay, Xiaoyue, it's all in the past. I've already recognized him, so why bring it up again? It won't spoil your mood~" Retracting his wandering thoughts, Liu Changan whispered softly, gently patting his friend's hand, "Let's not talk about them anymore!"

"Let's talk about you!"

"Me? What can I say?" Shi Xiaoyue was stunned and tilted his head.

Liu Changan laughed, "No? Really? I don't think so."

"Where's Guard Xiong? Why didn't he come with you today to protect you? You were always inseparable, so why didn't you bring him along the two times you came to see me?"

"What's wrong with you? Did you have any conflict?"

Guard Xiong - Xiong Zhen, was the 'protector' left to Shi Xiaoyue by her biological mother. In the past, when she was forced to 'cultivate and recuperate' outside the mansion, she and Xiong Zhen depended on each other for survival. That was a friendship that lasted for more than ten years.

It cannot be defined by just the two words "master and servant".

Shi Xiaoyue said in person that she considered Xiong Zhen as her brother, but Xiong Zhen...

Liu Changan savored it carefully and secretly felt that Xiong Zhen's feelings were probably not that simple. His emotions were probably entangled with Shi Xiaoyue. However, due to his status, he never dared to express them, and kept all his feelings in his heart, only revealing a little bit in their daily interactions.

Specifically, he is inseparable from Shi Xiaoyue. Whenever she goes out, there will always be a Xiong Zhen following her, sticking to her like a ghost!

What's going on? I haven't seen you for several times.

This is not normal!

Liu Changan was very curious and a little worried.

"You mean Big Brother Xiong? He, he..." Shi Xiaoyue was startled by the question. A look of confusion or discomfort appeared on her face. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Sister Chang'an, I don't know what's wrong with him. Anyway, Big Brother Xiong has been unhappy lately. Every time I go to see him, he has a sullen face and ignores me!"

"I questioned him a thousand times, but he wouldn't answer. He was like a gourd without a mouth. I couldn't even hit him with a stick and nothing came out. It was really infuriating!"

"I don't know what big thing it is? How dare you hide it from me like this!"

Shi Xiaoyue was angry, and it was obvious that she was very irritated.

They all cursed.

"I can't ask?" Liu Chang'an covered his mouth, in disbelief. "No way, Xiaoyue, there must be a secret in this world that can be hidden from you?"

What a gossipy and curious person he is. Xiaoyue can even find out many secrets in the inner court of the imperial palace. How can he be compared to a mere Xiong Zhen?

She can't handle it?

"Don't you have any clues at all? Didn't anything happen to you before Guard Bear's mood changed? Think about it carefully."

Liu Changan always felt that Xiong Zhen’s temper, personality, and sudden change in behavior must be related to Xiaoyue!

"What happened around me?" Shi Xiaoyue blinked, as if she remembered something. Suddenly, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. Then, as if she was reluctant, she hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "If you say there is something, Sister Chang'an, something did happen in my house, and it is indeed about me!"

"Do you still remember the eleventh young master of the Shouning Marquis's Mansion?"

"Eleventh Young Master?" Liu Chang'an instinctively frowned. "I remember that was the marriage your parents arranged for you!"

Shi Xiaoyue had flaws in her appearance, and there was a tacit understanding between her and the royal family. The selection was just a formality, and Emperor Yingwu was trying to save face for the Shi family. She would definitely not be chosen, but unfortunately, she had a noble status and was the eldest daughter of a legitimate wife.

It also serves the purpose of marriage.

The eleventh son of the Shouning Marquis's family is the maternal grandfather of her stepmother, Princess Nanweng. It is a declining marquisate. The eleventh son is plain-looking, has no talent, and is lustful. His significance to the Shoushou Marquis is just a marriage alliance, so he was pushed by his family to marry Shi Xiaoyue, the "rich but ugly girl"!
