Spring Drunk Chang'an

There was crying in Rongxiyuan.

Liu Wenbai felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and the dripping blood reminded him of the humiliation he had just suffered. However, this was not the end.

He saw with his own eyes his grandmother, Old Lady Lai, in tears, leading his sisters and brothers to pay their respects to Xiao Chuo.

The sound of kowtows continued.

Liu Wenbai's eyes were blood red, and he felt hatred and fear.

Xiao Chuo stood with her hands behind her back.

He stood beside Liu Changan and Song, and when the Liu family members kowtowed, they were also facing the two of them.

Liu Chang'an gently pulled Xiao Chuo's sleeve. Xiao Chuo turned around and saw that the little girl's eyes were red and her face was full of gratitude.

With tears in her eyes, she silently opened her lips and murmured, "Thank you, thank you~"

The prince was venting his anger for her.

For the first time in her two lives, when she was bullied, beaten and scolded, someone did not comfort her, cry with her, or feel sorry for her, but instead, he directly vented her anger.

It turns out that it feels so good not to have to compromise.

Liu Changan's tears fell like beads.

Xiao Chuo's eyes lingered on her falling tears, and her eyes turned cold. "Liu Wenbai, you are unfilial and disrespectful. Considering that this is your first offense, the death penalty can be spared, but the living punishment cannot be forgiven."

"Go to the ancestral temple every day and kneel down and recite the Book of Filial Piety for an hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Liu family members suddenly became panicked. They had never expected that the prince would beat them and punish them, but he still refused to let them go.

Kneeling for an hour a day is not a lot, but when will it end?

Song was also panicking and wanted to plead for mercy, "Prince..."

No matter how sad Liu Wenbai made her, he was still her biological son after all. How could she not feel distressed when he was beaten and scolded?

Liu Wenbai didn't appreciate it. He stood up, pushed Song away fiercely, and turned around to glare at her.

Seeing that he dared to refute, Xiao Chuo's handsome face suddenly became gloomy. Before she could finish the words, "Catch him", Duke Liu rushed in from outside.

He seemed to have known the situation in the room for a long time. After entering, he knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed loudly to Xiao Chuo, saying, "Your humble servant greets the Crown Prince. May your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

He immediately stood up, grabbed Liu Wenbai with an angry face, and slapped him twice.

'Snapped'.

'Snapped'.

The sound was so loud that Liu Qingru trembled.

"You disobedient and unfilial thing, how dare you talk back to your mother? Where's your filial piety? That's what I taught you? Filial piety is the most important of all virtues, and you don't even understand this?"

"Do you still want to take the imperial examination and become an official?"

"You made a mistake, and after receiving a few lectures, you took your anger out on me, a servant. Isn't that beneath your dignity?"

Duke Liu cursed loudly and slapped Liu Wenbai twice very hard without showing any mercy. Liu Wenbai saw stars in front of his eyes and staggered back.

He forgot all the words he had just said to disobey the Song family.

"My Lord, this is all my fault. I have spoiled this rebellious son. You taught him with such kindness, but he actually didn't appreciate it. He is so ignorant and deserves to die."

"However, he is still young and a child. I beg Your Highness to spare him for the sake of me and my wife."

"Don't bother with him."

After Duke Liu finished speaking, he pushed Liu Wenbai to the ground and shouted, "You evil creature, why don't you apologize quickly?"

Liu Wenbai was pushed to the ground, and the appearance of his father and two slaps in the face made him suddenly wake up.

The person in front of him is the prince.

He was the crown prince who killed people without restraint and was moody. He looked down on everything and was self-centered. His grandfather and father were terrified and cautious when they saw him.

How could he rely on his kinship to become angry and express resentment?

"My lord, I have been disrespectful. I beg your forgiveness even if I die."

"Prince Liu was full of resentment, but he knelt down quickly. He can't be considered as being ignorant of the current situation." Xiao Chuo looked down at him with contempt.

Liu Wenbai was ridiculed and was extremely angry.

Duke Liu's face was not looking good either. He didn't expect that even after he came out to smooth things over, the prince didn't give him any face at all. No wonder the court officials said that he was stubborn, cruel and brutal, and not as respectful to the wise and humble as Prince Yan.

Just wait and see. Once they have made proper plans, they will be able to pull the prince out of the East Palace. Then, let’s see how arrogant he will be.

Annoyance flashed across Duke Liu's eyes, but he quickly put on a smile and said, "Your Highness, I still don't understand something about the flood in Yizhou. I'd like to ask Your Highness for advice..."

He wanted to take the prince away.

Xiao Chuo glanced at him indifferently and ignored him. Instead, she turned her head to look at Song Shi. "I came here today because my mother asked me to pass on a message to my aunt. But now, I'm afraid my aunt is not in the mood to listen."

"It's not a big deal. I'll wait for my aunt at Chunliyuan tomorrow."

After that, he turned around and left.

Before leaving, his gaze stayed on Liu Changan's face for two seconds, and then he strode away.

Seeing this, Duke Liu's face flashed with annoyance, and he immediately shouted, "Your Highness, please wait for me. I do have something to report."

He shouted and chased after the prince.

Inside the room, the Liu family members and servants kneeling on the floor looked at each other.

Song and Liu Chang'an supported each other and stood up.

After a long while, Old Mrs. Lai sobbed and tried to get up tremblingly. Seeing this, Aunt Lai hurried to help her.

The old lady was drenched in sweat and almost fainted.

"Grandma, wuwuwuwu, please wake up, don't scare me!" Liu Qingru was so scared that she cried loudly and shook her.

Liu Wenrui turned over and got up, pinching the old lady's philtrum.

Liu Wenbai covered his forehead. The humiliation he had just suffered almost crushed his pride. He struggled to get up, not even bothering to wipe the blood. He looked at Song coldly, gnashing his teeth and saying, "You have let your son lose face in front of this lowly slave. Mother, are you satisfied now?"

After saying this, he turned around and strode away without even looking at Song, whose face had suddenly turned pale, or caring about his grandmother who was still not awake.

Song staggered and fell into a chair.

Liu Changan looked at her worriedly.

At this time, Mrs. Lai finally came to her senses and sat up, holding her grandson's shoulders. She pointed at Song and cried, "Get out! Get out of here!"

"Mother, my daughter-in-law..."

"roll!"

Old Mrs. Lai roared and rolled her eyes.

"Yes!" Song stood up crying, reluctantly bowed, and walked out of Rongxiyuan in embarrassment with the support of Liu Changan.

Liu Qingru pretended not to see anything and threw herself into Aunt Lai's arms, crying coquettishly and aggrievedly.

Liu Wenrui looked at his mother hesitantly, and finally, he stayed with Old Lady Lai.

-

Liu Changan helped Song back to the main courtyard.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Song collapsed on the ground, her face turned blue, and she fainted.

Her health was not good to begin with, and the shock she received today was too great, which damaged her vitality. The maids in the main courtyard were frightened and at a loss when they saw this.

"Chang'an, Madam, what's wrong? Didn't you go to pay your respects? Why are you back like this?" Rong Cui was also anxious. She circled around Song Shi, pinched her philtrum, and called out in tears: "Madam, Madam, please wake up, I am Rong Cui."
