Spring Drunk Chang'an

"I have never complained about anything in front of Brother Xiong. Even when that nanny hinted that I wanted money, I didn't say anything. And, and, if he was angry about this, he should be angry with my father, Princess Nan Weng, and the Shouning Earl's family. Why is he ignoring me?" Shi Xiaoyue frowned and sighed.

"So, it shouldn't be about this!" Liu Yu hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Maybe there's something else. He encountered some difficulties and didn't want to talk to you, so he was alone in the dilemma and couldn't think of a solution, so he ignored you."

“That’s also possible!”

He guessed so.

Shi Xiaoyue blinked, her brows knitted instinctively, and she looked confused, "Will it?"

She asked this, her expression...

It’s an indescribable feeling!

Seeing this, Liu Changan sighed softly, is that true?

Could it be that Xiong Zhen was troubled and confused because he encountered difficulties and ignored Shi Xiaoyue?

It won't be okay at all?

He and Shi Xiaoyue had truly grown up together. In Yuantan Temple, one was in the inner courtyard, the other in the outer courtyard. They saw each other and accompanied each other every day. Apart from each other, there was no one else between them. When Shi Xiaoyue returned to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, he at least had contact with his biological father, stepmother, half-siblings, clan members and servants!

And what about Xiong Zhen?

According to Shi Xiaoyue, he lived alone in a small courtyard in an alley behind the streets of Duke Qi. He ate three meals a day at home, had no contact with the neighbors, and didn't even have a dog in the yard!

His life, twelve hours a day, revolves around Shi Xiaoyue.

He even has a hard time dealing with himself, let alone things!!

Xiong Zhen was unhappy and avoided Shi Xiaoyue... According to Liu Changan's thinking, firstly, he must be angry that Shi Lin and the Shouning Marquis' Mansion were disrespectful to Shi Xiaoyue. They hadn't even properly arranged a marriage yet casually read her horoscope and weren't even willing to wait until the end of the talent show to give her a proper respect. It was obvious that they didn't take her seriously!

Secondly, he, he must be feeling sad because he sees that Shi Xiaoyue’s marriage is really imminent!

He admired Shi Xiaoyue in his heart, but he knew that he was not worthy of her in any way because of his status, so he thought about keeping his feelings to herself, protecting and taking care of her for the rest of his life, and he would be satisfied. Unexpectedly, she was going to get married!

The target is the son of the Bo family, also a wealthy family. In the future, she will be the head of the family, taking care of the husband and children, and managing the household chores. She will definitely not be able to play and go out every day like she did when she was a girl. And he, as a personal bodyguard, will also have to follow the gender difference and can no longer see her easily.

Having been with her day and night, Xiong Zhen has to let go of his responsibilities of protection!

In the future, the only time they could see each other would probably be when Shi Xiaoyue occasionally left the house, and he would serve as her coachman.

He even lost the extravagant hope of silently guarding and watching her back~~

Liu Changan's thoughts were scattered, and she tortured herself badly. She couldn't help but squint her eyes, put her hands to cover her chest, and looked at Shi Xiaoyue who was confused and seemed to have realized something but didn't dare to think too much. She sighed deeply.

"Xiaoyue, regarding the matter between you and Guard Xiong, you guys..."

She wanted to say, "You two should have a good talk face to face," but she stopped herself halfway through.

Given their situations and identities, even if they really explained it clearly and were in love with each other, they definitely couldn't stay together through formal means.

If one thing goes wrong, one will have to elope!

The result of elopement, see Xu Ruyi and Xu Yuan~

It definitely won't get better.

Life is not about being content with love. Even though Liu Changan did not want his best sister to marry a rich man from a wealthy family, he felt that the man was not worthy of her and she should find someone better instead of waking her up from her ignorance and putting her in a dilemma of either suffering or eloping!

"Xiaoyue, Guard Xiong is a grown man. He's experienced a lot and seen a lot. He'll definitely be able to handle any difficulties on his own. You can't help him. Besides, he must have his reasons for not telling you. Why bother to force him to answer?"

"Why not wait until he's resolved it himself and has sorted out his emotions? He'll naturally come to you~"

"You two have been friends for so many years, like brother and sister. Are you afraid he'll abandon you?!"

"That's definitely not the case. He promised my mother that he would stay with me forever. Big Brother Xiong also swore to me that he would never leave me no matter what. I'm not worried about that at all. It's just..." Shi Xiaoyue patted his chest and said confidently, then sighed, "I'm just a little worried about him!"

"It must be something serious that has made him so estranged from me. I want to help him, but he refuses to tell me directly... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about him anymore and talk about something else!"

"Sister Chang'an, you are now included in the family tree of the Cheng'en Mansion. You should also participate in this selection!"

"Have you reported your name?" Shi Xiaoyue changed the subject and asked curiously.

Liu Changan looked at her and noticed that the corners of her mouth were slightly pale, so he picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea. Then he pushed it in front of her. When he saw her pick it up and drink it, he slowly said, "Xiaoyue, have you forgotten? My brother Chengjin has become an official. Even if he is not included in the genealogy of the Cheng'en Mansion, I will still run for the position!"

"This selection is a general election. All officials of the sixth rank in Beijing and the fourth rank and above in local government, and their wives and children of the corresponding age, must participate~~"

"My younger brother Cheng Jin, I am now a sixth-rank official~~"

She smiled with her eyes curved.

Now, she has returned to the Song family name. Although she has not changed her surname, the household registration has changed and she is no longer the daughter of Liu Laishun and Ai Qingmei. Although she has identified herself with her adoptive parents in this life and will never change, for the old couple, their son's success is their support and hope in their old age.

Liu Laishun and Ai Qingmei both told Liu Chengjin, "You must be a good official and support your sister and brother..."

Honestly, if the world didn't allow it, Liu Changan would rather not use the reputation of the Cheng'en Mansion. She would rather run for election as Liu Chengjin's sister. In that case...

"Sister Chang'an, can the legitimate daughter of Duke Cheng'en be the same as the sister of a sixth-rank official? If the latter participated in the talent show, she would probably be a jerk and be eliminated in the first or second round, or even..."

Because Sister Chang'an was outstanding in appearance and gentle in character, she was randomly assigned to be a concubine in any prince or royal family...

The sister of a sixth-rank official is not qualified to be the main wife, let alone a concubine?

Shi Xiaoyue paused, pursed her lips, swallowed her words, and continued: "But the Duke's daughter is different. You will definitely make it to the final round and stay in the palace for two months~~"

"Perhaps, it is not impossible to go further!"

Shi Xiaoyue still remembers that Sister Chang'an and the Crown Prince had a very good relationship~

"Have you ever thought about being selected?"
