Spring Drunk Chang'an

Liu Changan was shaken. In her past and present lives, she was used to seeing Liu Wenbai, Liu Wenrui and Liu Qingru showing off their power. However, due to her status, she had to think twice before even refuting anything, let alone confronting them. She had to be cautious in her words.

They were the masters, the kind of masters who would drag her out and beat her to death even if it meant fining her three months' salary and making her kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days.

She was so tired of walking on the iron chain between the cliffs, and was in danger of falling and being smashed to pieces at any time. She suppressed her fear every day and faced the giant beast that could devour her at any time.

She was very scared.

but……

"Your Highness, after the palace ceremony, you will return to the East Palace." Liu Chang'an murmured.

Xiao Chuo nodded, "Yes, after I return to the Eastern Palace, you can live in my villa in the suburbs."

"You went there last time. It covers an area of ​​a thousand acres, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It is adjacent to Xiuchun Garden. If you go there, you can serve as the female steward of the inner court."

"I will bring your family along too."

He arranged it very well.

Liu Changan knew that as long as she agreed.

From then on, all the disputes in the Ningguo Mansion had nothing to do with her. What past life? What present life? What lonely and tragic death? None of them would appear again.

The prince will successfully rebel and ascend the throne as emperor. Under the protection of the prince, she can live leisurely with her family.

Okay?

Of course.

but……

"I can't, Your Highness. I want to stay."

Yes, she doesn't want to.

Even if she didn't think about the Song family or regaining her identity, she couldn't help but think about hatred.

She hated Duke Liu, Liu Wenbai, Liu Qingru, and Aunt Lai. She hated those people in Duke Ning's Mansion who had harmed her adoptive parents, her younger brothers and sisters, the Song family, and her.

In her previous life, she endured the pain of her family being torn apart and the pain of sleepless nights.

With her face disfigured, she worked as a night-scented concubine and an ugly woman in a singing girl's harem, enduring the days of being ridiculed and despised by others. She endured one day after another.

Thirty-eight days of life as a lady, five years of hard training.

Every day she was imprisoned in Qingyun Temple, she looked at the sky during the day and touched the floor tiles at night, feeling the delicate pain like ants gnawing at her heart.

She can't forget.

Being chased and fleeing in a panic, a steel knife slashed across his neck, watching his own blood spurt out, the torture of losing his life bit by bit.

She couldn't let it go.

It sounds wonderful to leave the past behind, follow the prince to the villa, and live a happy life with her adoptive parents, but she can't accept it.

If she accepted it, how could she be worthy of her previous life self who had suffered so much, struggled to survive, but still died tragically under the knife?

Her previous life shaped her present life, and she can't let it go, and she can't let it go.

Liu Changan's almond-shaped eyes were filled with shimmering water, and he shook his head silently.

Tears like beads fell as she moved.

Xiao Chuo's slight displeasure caused by being rejected suddenly disappeared. Looking at her slightly red nose, his indifferent face relaxed and his brows and eyes relaxed lazily.

"Well, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

"If you change your mind, come find me again."

He is very good at talking.

Liu Changan's almond-shaped eyes lit up with joy. She had thought that the Crown Prince, being of noble status, would show pity and favor to her, but being rejected by a mere maid, he would definitely be angry. She had never expected that the Crown Prince...

He is so kind.

"Your Highness, you are so generous. I don't know how to express my gratitude. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in my life."

This is the truth.

Xiao Chuo lowered her eyes and saw her almond-shaped eyes half-curved with excitement, looking around with a gleam in her eyes.

"Forget it, it's just because you're sweet-talking." Xiao Chuo waved her hand.

He thought to himself: I just said a few words and she was so moved. She is indeed a sentimental girl who is completely devoted to him.

Being both loyal and infatuated is rare.

Oh, please take better care of me in the future.

"Your Highness, don't think I'm talking nonsense. What I said is all from the heart!" Liu Chang'an pursed his lips, and the rouge mole at the corner of his lips also moved.

Her dignified and elegant temperament suddenly became charming.

Xiao Chuo's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked her to sit down.

The two began to talk. After a while, Liu Chang'an took the jewelry given by Queen Song and said goodbye and left.

-

Ningguo Mansion, Changyin Pavilion.

Liu Wenrui was waving a fan, sitting in the armchair with an irritated look on his face.

His personal servant, Yinquan, smiled and knelt humbly beside his legs to massage his feet, saying, "Second Young Master, the old lady has woken up and taken her medicine."

"Everything is fine now, what are you worried about?"

"What do you know, little slave?" Liu Wenrui raised his hand and pinched Yinquan's delicate chin, rubbing his face and said, "What bothers me, your young master, is why the Crown Prince is so angry?"

"Isn't it because the prince contradicted the lady?" Yinquan leaned softly against his legs and whispered, "The lady is the prince's aunt. Aunt, aunt, she's like a mother to the prince. She's so angry that her face has turned pale."

"The prince got angry when he saw it."

"That doesn't mean you're so angry that you won't even give me the slightest bit of face!"

In front of all the maids and servants in Rongxiyuan, an old maid pressed his head to the ground and made him kowtow three times and nine times. My brother was completely humiliated.

Liu Wenrui narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly.

Saoquan looked up at his master's thoughtful expression. He was very scared, but he didn't dare show it on his face. Instead, he smiled ingratiatingly, "Second Young Master, the Crown Prince's anger is directed at the Young Master, and it has nothing to do with you. Why are you thinking about that?"

"It has nothing to do with us!"

"You want a beating? I'm your elder brother, so why shouldn't it be my business?" Liu Wenrui waved his fan and tapped Saoquan on the head, jokingly scolding him, "You little bastard, you're alienating us brothers."

He cursed harshly, but was obviously not angry.

Saoquan was not afraid and moved closer, "Second Young Master, this servant is wholeheartedly devoted to you. I am also a legitimate son, born a year late. The huge Ningguo Mansion will be inherited by the Crown Prince."

"I am here to seek justice for you."

"The Crown Prince is dissatisfied with the Prince, so you have a chance..."

He knew what his master wanted to hear, so he took the courage to speak uninhibitedly.

really!

"You slave who's seeking death, shut up!" Liu Wenrui scolded him, but he only gave him a light kick. There was even some pleasure in his eyes, and he was daydreaming with a dazed expression.

moment!

Youyou sighed, "Big brother was raised by my grandfather himself, and he is well educated. He will take the imperial examination next year. As long as he doesn't make any earth-shattering mistakes, his position will be as stable as Mount Tai."

"Instead of dreaming about the throne of the crown prince, I'd rather think about something I can get..."

"What does the second young master want to do?" Saoquan asked with a playful smile.

Liu Wenrui smiled in a dissolute and romantic manner, showing off his superficial appearance, "Big brother has already been crowned the crown prince, so it's not too much to let me handle the marriage of the Duke of Qi's mansion."

"Second Young Master, are you talking about Miss Shi?" Saoquan was stunned and blurted out, "That ugly girl is not worthy of you."

My master is a playboy. He accepts both men and women in his room, regardless of whether they are dirty or smelly. He loves beauty and will not accept anyone who is slightly inferior.

How did you choose this ugly girl who is famous in the capital?

"She's ugly, so what? This young master wants to marry her, not because of her face, but because of her family background, her father, the Duke of the State, and her dowry..."
