Spring Drunk Chang'an

Aunt Lai couldn't stand Liu Qingru's coquettishness and trickery, so she took the risk to find the second master Liu Ye, urging him to do things quickly and let Liu Changan "disappear" in the Ningguo Mansion with a legitimate reason.

Liu Ye agreed repeatedly, turned around and called Xia Mu over, and told him to marry Liu Changan as soon as possible.

Xia Mu groaned in his heart but didn't dare to say anything. After returning home, he discussed with his parents how to complete the master's order.

Mother Xia was filled with reluctance. "Ai Qingmei is so ungrateful. Last time, she brought Liu Laishun to our house and scolded me and your father. Why should we marry into the family of such an unreasonable family?"

"You are valued by the Second Master, and you will surely be able to escape slavery soon and become an official in the future. How can Liu Changan, a maidservant, be worthy of you?

Xia Mu had a gloomy face and a furrowed brow.

Although he was also a servant of the Ningguo Mansion, he was completely different from the guards and maids.

After a guard has made merit and is released from military service, if his master is willing to recommend him, he can enter the military camp and serve as a sergeant or inspector. Even if he is not a high-ranking official, he is still a military officer.

Unless a maid becomes a concubine, she will be a slave for her entire life.

Sister Chang'an is not worthy of him.

but……

"Mu'er, what did you say to the Second Master? Why did he insist on you welcoming Liu Chang'an into the house? No, no, we have to find a way to refuse. She's hindering your future!"

"After you renounced your citizenship and joined the military, you could have married the daughter of a minor official. Why did you have to settle for Liu Chang'an?"

Mother Xia slapped her thighs, extremely anxious.

Xia Mu's brows knitted even tighter. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly said, "Mom, don't say that. Although Chang'an can't help me, she and I grew up together, and our two families have a tacit understanding since childhood. How can I go back on my word so easily?"

"Besides, I also like Chang'an sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mother Xia flew into a rage, "What do you mean by 'like'? Liu Changan is indeed a vixen. She's hooking up with men before getting married. She's not a good person at all, let alone a man!"

"Alright!" Father Xia suddenly stood up and shouted at Mother Xia, "You're just a woman, what do you know? The Second Master has spoken, and you say you don't want to marry, so you don't want to marry?"

"Mu'er's future depends on the Second Master. We must go and ask for the Liu family's help. Only after we have rescued the Second Master from his predicament will he be willing to help Mu'er!"

As he said this, his expression was extremely ugly.

Father Xia guessed that the reason why the second master insisted on letting Mu'er marry Liu Chang'an... was probably because he was attracted by her beauty, but because she was his sister-in-law's maid, it was difficult for him to make a move. So he simply let his confidant marry her into the room so that he could take her as he pleased, which was both convenient and would not damage his reputation.

By accepting this tough job, Mu'er would inevitably become a living cuckold, but if he could become the confidant of the second master and get an official position, it would be worth it.

At worst, I can just give Mu'er a few beautiful concubines in the future.

"Mu'er, find an opportunity to meet Chang'an and tell her about the marriage proposal. Once she agrees, your mother and I will find a matchmaker." Father Xia advised.

"I understand, Dad!" Xia Mu rubbed his hands.

Thinking that the beautiful Chang'an sister was going to be his wife, he felt a little happy in his heart, but at the same time, her cold and rebellious look that day appeared in front of his eyes again.

When a girl is young, she is always a little spoiled, but it is different when she becomes a wife. It is not okay for her to be scornful to her husband.

It seems that after Chang'an gets married, she will need his mother's help to calm her down.

main courtyard.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Chuo, Liu Chang'an returned to the main courtyard holding the jewelry given by Queen Song. At that time, Song had just finished dinner and was sitting on the bed to rest.

"How is Madam? Are you feeling better?" Liu Changan asked with concern.

Song smiled gently, "I've been taking medicine for a day and I feel much better."

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

She concealed her discomfort, and seeing that Liu Chang'an was still worried, she considerately changed the subject, "By the way, is there something important that the prince wants to talk to me about?"

"No, the Queen Mother knew that your birthday was coming soon, so she asked the Crown Prince to send you a set of jewelry." Liu Changan hurriedly brought the wooden box forward.

When Song opened it, she saw a set of red gold filigree inlaid red agate headpieces inside.

There are 29 items in total, including top hairpins, side hairpins, long hairpins, heart-picking hairpins, side-picking hairpins, side-covering hairpins, earrings, bracelets, rings, flower ornaments, small hairpins and pecking needles, etc.

Luxurious and gorgeous.

Valuable.

"I'm already this old, with both a son and a daughter, and I still make my sister worry!" Song touched her head and sighed silently.

Liu Changan was sitting beside the bed, and was about to persuade her when suddenly, a notification came from outside that Duke Liu had returned. She quickly stood up, retreated to the side of the bed, stood with her hands clasped, and peered out with her dark almond-shaped eyes.

Duke Liu strode in.

Song struggled to get up, "The master is back, I haven't greeted him yet..."

Seeing this, Duke Liu quickly stepped forward to support her, complaining, "Your body is in such a state, why are you struggling? Lie down quickly."

"Am I an outsider? Why do you have to be so polite?"

The tone was kind and considerate, which was what the Song family liked most.

But now...

Think about how he treated others as his wife, think about that concubine, and then think about Qu Qiutong's life experience!

Song felt creepy and uncomfortable. She said, "In a family like ours, there are always some rules that cannot be violated."

Duke Liu was startled, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Well, Lan Niang, Wenbo's temper is indeed a bit arrogant, but children of his age are most concerned about their reputation. You scolded him to his face, and he was confused for a moment and contradicted you."

"Don't be angry with him."

Song frowned slightly and bit her lip as she said, "Master, Wenbo is my son. As a mother, how could I bother with him? However, his temperament and behavior are indeed biased. It's time to find some way to discipline him."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle it after the order is placed..."

"What's wrong with Wenbo? I think he's fine!" Duke Liu said, his eyes flashing with displeasure. "You, don't make a big deal out of it."

"Men and women are different. There's nothing wrong with Wenbo taking a concubine. So what's wrong with the one given by my second brother? They're not real concubines."

"You are so rigid in your actions."

His face was full of disapproval, and he unconsciously looked down on the Song family.

It's really a woman's point of view, extremely useless. It's sad and ridiculous to stick to those red tapes and moral rules. As long as you hold power, you can have all the beauties in the world in your arms.

What does it matter if Wenbo wants his second brother to be his concubine?

He is the heir to the Ningguo Mansion, and all the beauties in the mansion belong to him. He can have whoever he wants. But the Song family is pedantic and the prince is also nosy. Poor Wenbo, he has suffered so much injustice.

Song looked at his unhappy expression, her eyes filled with pain. "Master, do you really think there's nothing wrong with Wenbo's character? He's stubborn and self-righteous, taking his anger out on innocent people..."

"And Wenrui and Qingru, they also~~"
