Spring Drunk Chang'an

The servants who were beating him dispersed, revealing the 'center of the world' Liu Xiu who was being beaten and kicked.

He looks really miserable!

Covered in yellow dust, his clothes were torn, his chest, back, thighs and arms were all covered with footprints, his face was covered with tears and snot, and his cheeks and eyes were bruised...

He looked a little dazed!

It can be seen that he was beaten and dazed!

"Dad, Dad, how are you? Are you okay?" Liu Wenrui was shocked. He took a few steps forward and circled around Liu Xiu.

He wanted to help his father up, but he didn't know where to start. After all, Liu Xiu had too many wounds on his body, and it seemed that no matter where he was touched, he would scream in pain.

Liu Wenrui is like a dog biting a hedgehog, not knowing where to start!

In the end, Ai Ai could only bully the dog, who timidly grabbed his wrist and carefully pulled him up.

Liu Xiu was breathing heavily, and his body instinctively stood up with the help of his son, but his eyes were still a little confused.

The pupils were dilated.

His body was still shaking uncontrollably due to the residual pain.

Liu Wenrui looked at him, unable to describe the feeling in his heart, a little scared, a little relieved, and a little bit... happy!

As sons, the difference between Liu Xiu's treatment of him and Liu Wenbai was as vast as heaven and earth. Of course, for the sake of the title of Marquis, he was willing to endure it...

But in my heart, I am not without annoyance and resentment!

Now, seeing him seek medical treatment for Liu Wenbai and suffer all these hardships and get beaten, Liu Wenrui felt a little gloating in his heart.

But on the surface, of course, he didn't show any of it. Instead, he deliberately revealed his heartache and anger. His eyes swept across Song Zhilan and Liu Changan, and then he glared fiercely at the servants who beat Liu Xiu.

He looked around one by one, and then, as if angry and embarrassed, he ignored his biological mother, nor did he greet his biological sister who he had finally found. He just bent his knees slightly and saluted Xiao Chuo.

He said, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

As the son of a marquis, Liu Wenrui also holds a fifth-rank official position through donation, so he can address the prince as "your humble servant."

Xiao Chuo looked him up and down with a calm expression, "No need to be so polite!"

he whispered.

Liu Wenrui thanked him, then looked at Liu Xiu cautiously. He saw that his trembling body was gradually recovering, and his eyes had regained some spirit, as if he had regained some strength...

He immediately acted indignant and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, you are the crown prince, a person of great dignity. Logically, I should never offend you. However, as a son, I must ask you something."

"My humble father has dedicated decades of his life to the country and the people, giving his all. Even if he has no achievements, he has certainly worked hard. What heinous crime has he committed? He deserves a beating!"

He still had a little bit of filial piety in his heart. Instead of questioning Song Zhilan, Liu Wenrui directed his criticism at the prince.

Of course, it is also possible that he wanted to show Liu Xiu that he was not afraid of power and was willing to sacrifice his life for his father.

A heart of filial piety.

Xiao Chuo raised her eyebrows slightly.

Liu Xiu blinked and gasped.

Although his body was still in pain, he had indeed recovered and was mentally clear. He looked directly at Song Zhilan and Liu Changan, but did not speak.

This beating completely shattered his arrogance and his unreasonable self-confidence and arrogance towards Song Zhilan.

Liu Xiuzhen truly understood that Song Zhilan had indeed abandoned him. She no longer loved him deeply, admired him, or regarded his words as the golden rule.

She even hated him.

And his newly recognized daughter Liu Changan, unlike Liu Wenrui and Liu Qingru, did not ask anything of him. No matter how he despised, treated her with contempt, or looked down on her, she clung to him and treated him as a filial son and a good grandson!

The mother and daughter really don't take him seriously.

The prince also favors them!

Liu Xiu was filled with fear and anger, his pupils were trembling.

It had been so long since the divorce, and he had even had a confrontation with the Cheng'en Mansion in front of the emperor. He had been demoted and his title had been lowered, but this was the first time that Liu Xiu felt that Song Zhilan had truly escaped his control.

He could no longer control this woman.

However, without Song Zhilan's blind admiration and love for him, the Cheng'en Mansion will not show mercy to him, and the prince's party will not be his eternal escape route.

No one will stand there and wait for him to come back without any regrets.

He has already blocked the way to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion!

He could only follow King Yan and could not turn back whether he was alive or dead.

Liu Xiu, who always felt that his path was wide and that he had room to maneuver, now felt fear emanating from his heart.

As the saying goes: Those who cannot get what they want are in turmoil, while those who are favored are always fearless!

Ever since Song Zhilan fell in love with him, Liu Xiu has always been "favored". No matter what he does, Song Zhilan unconditionally believes in him and admires him. Because of Song Zhilan, the Cheng'en Mansion also treats him, the son-in-law, with great courtesy.

Even the crown prince, who was rumored to be moody and erratic, respected him as his uncle.

For over twenty years, Liu Xiu had been spoiled by the Cheng'en Mansion and Song Zhilan, becoming arrogant and conceited, his self-confidence soaring to the sky. That was why he fell deeply in love with Qu Qiutong, desperately trying to make up for the "disturbance" that he had never been able to obtain or give her a name for...

Even after Song Zhilan dumped him, slapped him, and divorced him, he was still full of confidence and even shamelessly asked her to understand Liu Wenbai.

This was an illusion given to him by Song Zhilan, who had been too gentle, too kind, and too considerate in the past!

But now, this beating completely woke her up from her sweet dream!

Liu Xiu was scared!

He was so scared that he didn't even dare to vent his anger on Liu Wenrui.

You know, he used to beat and scold his son at will and never took it to heart, but now, Liu Wenrui has become his only connection with the Song family.

"Liu Xiu offended me, but it was just a small lesson!"

Xiao Chuo glanced coldly at Liu Xiu, who was shivering all over for some reason, and spoke in a light tone.

He directly took the charge of assaulting the current marquis. Seeing this, Song Zhilan moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but Liu Changan shook his head at her.

Song Zhilan bit her lip and fell silent!

Over there, Liu Wenrui saw that Liu Xiu was silent, his face twisted, and his heart was moved. He even put on an indignant look on his face, "Your Highness, your humble father has always been loyal. Even if he, he, has some inappropriate things, he is still a kind father..."

"If you don't like it, just give him a few words and ask him to leave. Why humiliate him like this?"

"As a son of a man, I truly am, truly..."

He pretended to be distressed and looked like he was speaking up for his father.

Liu Xiu came to Song Zhilan to seek medical help for Liu Wenyi. Liu Wenrui was completely unaware of this, but he had a good sister who wanted to repair their relationship with him...

It’s Liu Qingru!
