Spring Drunk Chang'an

However, although Brother Yu has good brains and skills, he knows nothing about getting along with others or the clichés of writing. He can only be protected by others and focus on studying Mo Ke.

Besides, he could not handle the verbal battles and the changing situation in the court.

And his legitimate brother-in-law, the young master of Cheng'en Mansion, is only nine years old this year. If he wants to go to the court, he has to wait.

The only one left is Liu Chengjin.

Although he was shy, seemed a bit weak, and not good at speaking, he was surprisingly good at being an official. He was very good at managing his superiors, making friends with his colleagues, and caring for his subordinates...

He had laid out the complex web of interests very clearly. His only flaw was that he was too young, a bit naive, and too trusting. But that wasn't a flaw...

After all, he had the crown prince, the future emperor, as his brother-in-law.

Who dares to deceive the emperor's brother-in-law!

Xiao Chuo was very confident in Liu Chengjin and felt that he would become the backbone of the little girl's "Queen's Party", so she was very kind to him and pulled Liu Chengjin aside to chat with him for a long time.

He also personally delivered the prepared gift to the bride and talked to her for a few words.

Li Shuang'er was excited, shocked, ecstatic, scared, flattered, and all kinds of emotions overlapped, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She wanted to pass out.

But he controlled himself, his cheeks flushed as if he was drunk.

Liu Sanxi covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Ai Qingmei glared at her daughter and hit her twice with her arms.

Liu Sanxi grinned, showing a painful expression, then stepped forward to grab his future brother-in-law, rolling around to ask for a gift, and rescued his sister-in-law.

The lively atmosphere at the Liu family lasted until the moon reached its zenith. Seeing that it could not be delayed any longer, Xiao Chuo reluctantly took Liu Changan's hand and stood up to say goodbye.

Ai Qingmei looked at his face, sighed, and said, "Chang'an, go see His Highness off."

Xiao Chuo's eyes lit up, and her affection for her mother-in-law grew deeper and deeper.

Liu Laishun curled his lips, not very willing.

Liu Changan smiled and responded crisply, "I understand, mother."

After they met, the next time they wanted to see each other would be on the wedding day, and she was reluctant to leave Xiao Chuo.

The two walked out of the yard shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand.

Liu Chang'an sent Xiao Chuo to the entrance of the alley, and then said goodbye to her reluctantly.

Xiao Chuo watched her back as she returned to the yard, then turned and left.

After Liu Changan returned home, he was teased by his mother and sister for a while before he lay down to rest.

-

The day after the wedding, tea is served to the parents, and the bride returns to her parents' home on the third day...

Liu Chang'an stayed at home for five days before returning to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion.

At that time, Xiao Chuo had already discussed it with Song Bin and Old Lady Song.

Regarding the matter of Concubine Qu, they were planning to wipe out the Song family as well, so of course Xiao Chuo had to tell them and make preparations in advance.

Queen Song also knew about it.

Moreover, they, especially Queen Song, felt a little sorry for Liu Changan. On such a grand wedding day, when a woman was reborn for the second time, things turned out like this.

So, Queen Song summoned Liu Chang'an, comforted him with soft words, and gave him many rewards.

Liu Changan: ...

In fact, she had already agreed not to give anything.

He gladly accepted it and said many righteous words, which moved Queen Song deeply.

The matter was finalized, and everyone was busy waiting for the wedding day to arrive.

-

Time passed slowly, and the day of the prince's wedding was getting closer and closer. During this period, many things happened in the capital.

First of all, Xu Ruyi and Xu Yuan were arrested.

The two were "lovers" who committed incest, murdered their husband on their wedding night, and eloped. They were caught by the Jinyiwei in Tongzhou and escorted back to Beijing.

At that time, Emperor Yingwu sentenced the two of them to death, but now, because of Liu Qingru, Emperor Yingwu and Concubine Qu, especially Concubine Qu, took their anger out on the Liu family.

She went in front of Emperor Yingwu and said that the Xu brothers and sisters should be treated leniently. Instead of releasing them directly, she could sentence them to death first and then slowly turn around.

Concubine Qu just wanted to spare these two lives so that they could go to disgust Liu Xiu in the future...

After all, if he hadn't raised a daughter like Liu Qingru, how could her son be abandoned? How could their twenty years of planning, mother and son, have come to nothing?

Now, she has to think of a dangerous way to die together.

Yes, even now, Concubine Qu is unwilling to admit that Xiao Chuo is capable. No matter whether Xiao Xun is good or bad, her family has never regarded him as an opponent.

His only goal is the throne.

Concubine Qu didn't want to accept this, so she took out all her resentment and anger on the Liu family.

Fortunately, Emperor Yingwu still had some sense and knew that the matter of the Xu brothers and sisters was not only related to Liu Wenbai, but also to the victim Sun Xiao, as well as public order and morality...

Brother and sister commit incest, murder their husband, steal and elope. The impact of this matter is simply too bad, and not dealing with it will not be enough to appease the public anger.

So, the Xu brothers and sisters failed to escape after all. The next day after they were escorted to Beijing, they were pushed to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

Yes, the original plan of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts was finally changed to beheading thanks to Concubine Qu's efforts.

It also saved the Xu brothers and sisters from suffering.

But the Liu family felt uncomfortable.

That day, Liu Xiu, who had become a commoner and lived on his few savings, pushed the paralyzed Liu Wenbai, with Qu Qiutong, who looked much older, by his side.

A family of three came to watch the practice.

They stood below and watched the officials announce the crimes of the Xu siblings and throw down their sticks.

The executioner raised his sword high and with two swipes, Xu Ruyi and Xu Yuan were beheaded cleanly and neatly.

The former Duke Zhenguo and his wife, now the old couple of the Xu family, who were also common people, came forward crying to collect the bodies.

The Sun family accompanied Sun Xiao to watch their enemy die, and then left freely.

Only the three members of the Liu family were staring at the bloodstains on the ground, their heads shaking, feeling confused and at a loss.

Is this the end of everything?

They should be happy that Wen Bo's revenge was achieved, but the child is still paralyzed and has not improved at all. Their family has fallen on hard times and they can't afford servants to take good care of him.

Wen Bo was a grown man, tall and strong, very heavy. Liu Xiu and Qu Qiutong were both unable to move him. Unfortunately, the Second House had implicated them because of their deep hatred for Liu Qingru...

Liu Ye left with his wife and children one early morning.

At the same time, they also took away the few money that the Liu family had. Now, the only ones left in the Liu family are Liu Xiu, Liu Wenbai, Qu Qiutong, and an old lady named Lai who needs care.

As for Liu Wenrui, although he still lived with them, he only came back to sleep at night and did not come back during the day. No one knew where he went...
