Spring Drunk Chang'an

"Why are you flying? My young master, you've fallen!" Nanny Ji said with a sad face, feeling both fearful and helpless. "Please stop trying. What are you talking about? Bamboo wings covered with cloth can fly with the wind."

"Where did it fly? It just flapped its wings twice and then fell down, straight and straight, without even a bend!"

"Young Master, please calm down and stop causing trouble. The nurse is old and has done this five or six times this year. She really can't take it anymore!"

Nanny Ji burst into tears.

Liu Yu fell silent, his handsome face returning to numbness.

His hands tightly grasped the cloth-covered wings, squeezing so hard that veins were visible.

Liu Changan looked at him silently for a while, then asked tentatively, "Master Yu, why do you keep committing suicide? If you have any difficulties, why not tell us so that we can help you come up with some ideas?"

Liu Yu raised his eyes and looked at her quietly.

No reply.

Nanny Ji hurriedly said, "Young Master, this girl is the one who saved you. Last time, you committed suicide in the Jingxi River near the house, and it was she who saved you!"

Last time?

Not last time?

In just a few dozen days, he committed suicide again?

Liu Changan frowned slightly and began to worry. Would Liu Yu succeed in committing suicide before the truth was revealed?

This, this might be her biological brother!

"...Master Yu, your life is your own. No matter what, if you can live, don't die. Even if it's not for yourself, think of your wet nurse!"

Nanny Ji looked like she was in her fifties or sixties. She had met him twice, kneeling down and busying herself. When she ran down the cliff path, the dust was billowing and she was stumbling, almost falling down.

"I'm a cripple!" Liu Yu said woodenly.

Liu Changan was startled, "Huh?"

Cripple? She knew that last time.

Why are you saying this?

"My legs are lame, there's no point in living." Liu Yu said dejectedly, stretched out his hand to touch the 'big cloth wings', and his gray eyes seemed to flash.

If he could fly, he wouldn't be a complete waste as his mother said, and would only bring trouble to her and his father.

Unfortunately, it failed.

It’s better to die.

The light in his eyes seemed to dim, leaving only a speck of ashes.

"Mr. Yu, why do you think that? It's useless? No, to those who care about you, your being alive is your greatest use."

Liu Changan's face flushed slightly and he was a little excited.

In her previous life, even if Wang'er was completely paralyzed, let alone lame, she would still want him to be alive.

"Yes, Master, Miss Liu is right. My greatest wish in this life is for you to live well!" Nanny Ji sobbed, tears streaming down her face. "Also, how can you say that? You are useless!"

"You are so amazing! The chair you made can go up the mountain and climb the slope. The wooden figurine you made can move its arms and legs. The waterwheel and hoe you made are used by everyone in our village."

"The tenants all praise you as Master Lu Ban incarnate!"

"Brother Yu, don't listen to the master and the mistress. You are the most useful."

Nanny Ji's voice was low and hoarse. Her hands, covered with calluses and scars, gently stroked Liu Yu's hair, her eyes full of sadness and love.

Her heart felt like it was on fire.

She is 61 years old this year, and her Yu Ge'er is only 18 years old. What will happen to her Yu Ge'er when she dies of old?

He always threatened to commit suicide, and without a wet nurse, no one would save him.

Don't listen to the master and the mistress? So it was Duke Liu and Qu Qiutong who said Liu Yu was useless?

Liu Changan sensitively caught what Nanny Ji had let slip.

She felt both excited and upset.

Liu Yu… If he was really her biological brother, what kind of environment did he grow up in? Perhaps even worse than hers. Although she was a slave, she had the love of her adoptive parents and the respect of her brothers and sisters, and she had lived a good life for sixteen years.

And he only has Nanny Ji.

"Didn't you find someone to treat Young Master Yu's leg?" she couldn't help but ask.

"We've tried treatment. We've consulted all the famous doctors nearby, but they said it's useless." Nanny Hua sighed.

Liu Changan, "Have you seen the four famous doctors in the capital?"

Nanny Hua choked and looked evasive, "Well, our master doesn't want the young master to go into the city too often, for fear of being disturbed."

"Isn't there a wheelchair that can go up the mountain and climb slopes?" Liu Changan frowned.

Nanny Hua's expression became even more difficult. After a long while, she sighed deeply, "Our master doesn't want to."

"He said the young master can't enter the city."

As for why?

Nanny Hua asked, but was whipped ten times and almost kicked out of the house.

"This……"

Liu Changan lowered his eyes.

As she expected, Liu Yu had never entered the city. It was Duke Liu who did it on purpose.

He's probably afraid that someone will notice that he doesn't look right!

"There are bad guys in the city who want to catch me. If I go there secretly, my father will be angry and will be hurt..." A trace of pain flashed across Liu Yu's numb face.

His hand subconsciously pressed down on his leg.

"I only make my father angry. I am a waste."

"It's so uncomfortable, I want to die!"

Liu Yu seems to rarely communicate with others, and his spirit and language are a little strange.

For a moment, Liu Changan didn't know how to comfort her.

Shi Xiaoyue, who was watching quietly at the side, touched his cheek and suddenly said, "Master Yu, don't think like that. It's better to live a miserable life than to die."

"My father doesn't like me either. He thinks I'm unlucky for my mother and I have a birthmark on my face. The noble ladies in the capital all call me the ugly daughter of the Shi family."

"My sisters all think I'm bringing shame to their reputations, cursing me openly and secretly, but I'm still living a good life, aren't I?"

The crisp sound caught Liu Yu's attention. He turned his head and met the birthmark on Shi Xiaoyue's cheek with a dazed look.

The bright red color occupied the fair face.

Abrupt and ugly.

It was obvious that Shi Xiaoyue rarely had her face looked directly at by anyone. Her eyes were slightly red, and she felt shy and embarrassed, but her desire to persuade others to live still prevailed. She said softly, "Master Yu, we didn't harm anyone, nor did we hinder anyone. We did nothing wrong."

"Those who scold us and blame us have bad hearts!"

"Why should we listen to them and die? We don't want to. We want to live well, live freely and happily, and piss them off to death."

She clenched her fists and her face turned red.

Liu Yu looked at her quietly, and after a while he said, "You've got the sunset on your face."

Shi Xiaoyue burst into tears all of a sudden.

Afterwards, the atmosphere among them was very good. Xiong Zhen hunted a rabbit, skinned it and grilled it, Liu Changan picked some vegetables, and Liu Yu...

Quiet as a fairy waiting to eat.

During the meal, Liu Changan asked some tentative questions and told him and Nanny Ji his identity, but the two did not respond at all.

It seems that they are completely unaware of the Ningguo Mansion.

It was already late after dinner. After saying goodbye to Liu Yu and Nanny Ji, Liu Changan and the other two prepared to return to the city. When passing by Yuantan Temple, she did not give up and went into the temple again to find Nanny Hua.

Still no results.

"It seems there is no hope today!" She sighed and returned to the carriage.

Xiong Zhen whipped the horse-drawn carriage and it quickly arrived at the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Liu Chang'an was about to say goodbye, but Shi Xiaoyue insisted that Xiong Zhen send her off. Liu Chang'an couldn't refuse, so he took the carriage back to Juning Alley.

After getting out of the car and thanking Xiong Zhen, Liu Changan watched him leave. He turned around and was about to knock on the door when a cold voice came over, "You seem to be a very busy man. You let me wait for you."
