Spring Drunk Chang'an

Compared to the last time they met, Liu Yu was thinner and paler.

Although they were both nineteen-year-old young men, Liu Wenbai was seven feet tall, with a well-proportioned figure, while Liu Yu was as thin as a bag of bones and looked even smaller than Shi Xiaoyue.

Thinking about this person, there is a 90% chance that he is my biological brother.

Liu Changan felt a little distressed.

In past and present lives, the Liu family treated her coldly, and how could they treat Liu Yu any better?

"I have some fruit here, would you like some?"

Roubai's hands, which were covered with some calluses, handed over the red fruit, which was dripping with stream water. It was red and crisp, and looked sour, sweet and delicious.

Liu Yu took it silently, wiped it with his hand, hesitated for two moments, and took a small bite.

He... is a useless person.

The housekeeper who served him personally often said behind his back that he was a freeloader and a burden to others. He was about to reach adulthood, but instead of winning an imperial decree and fame for his mother, he was becoming a burden to her.

When his mother occasionally came back to see him, she would sigh and lament, and the contempt and disgust in her eyes made him wish he had never been born.

As for my father, my father...

Liu Yu looked dazed, the light in his eyes disappeared, as if he had suddenly lost all hope.

Nanny Ji looked at this and her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "Oh no!" Every time the young master showed this expression, it meant he wanted to commit suicide again.

"Master, when you were at home, didn't you always talk about Miss Liu and Miss Shi? Now that you've met them, you should get close to them."

It would be better to take her home and get married, so that she won’t always think about committing suicide.

"Yes, since you have come out to play with us, you should talk. What's the point of always being like a mute person?" Shi Xiaoyue said sweetly.

Liu Yu is just like her, with a broken leg and an ugly face. So no one would look down on anyone else, right?

Shi Xiaoyue was very relaxed in front of him.

"I..." Liu Yu was depressed and was about to say "I want to die", but when he looked up, he saw Liu Chang'an's concerned and warm expression.

Suddenly, his eyes felt hot.

The last time they met, he heard the two girls talking to their wet nurse about their past. It was obvious that he and Shi Xiaoyue were the same kind of people, like rats in the gutter, rejected, hated, and looked down upon by their relatives.

If you put yourself in his shoes, he is the same as Shi Xiaoyue.

But for some reason, he felt that Liu Changan was closer to him, as if, as if, there was something strange about her that attracted him and made him unable to help but get closer.

Perhaps, this is the power of blood.

Liu Changan's eyes softened as he looked at him. "Mr. Liu, aren't you tired of sitting like this? Why don't you get down and sit on the oilcloth? There's a cotton pad here, so it's softer."

Liu Yu tilted his head and his eyes darkened.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Ji quickly said, "No, no, Miss Liu. Our young master made a wheelchair made of fine wood and filled with goose feathers. It's very soft and doesn't hurt your waist. It's also easy to get on and off. Besides stairs, it can even be used on sandy and gravel roads."

"Oh, so impressive! I remember Master Liu made this wheelchair himself. He's quite skilled indeed!" Liu Chang'an exclaimed, then smiled and said, "Compared to Lu Ban in the world, he's not much worse!"

Nanny Ji loved to hear people praising Liu Yu. She kept refusing by saying "I dare not compare, I dare not compare", with a smile on her face.

Wrinkles appeared.

"Why wouldn't I dare to compete? I heard from my Big Bear that when Liujiazhuang was sowing seeds a few days ago, Young Master Liu improved the new seeding wheel, and the sowing speed of several nearby villages has doubled!"

"If it is promoted, it will be a great merit!" Shi Xiaoyue said.

Nanny Ji smiled even more happily, no longer being so polite. She said, "Miss Liu, Shi Xiaoyue, my young master's abilities... other old ladies wouldn't dare to say anything about them, but he's extremely skilled at making these little machines and gadgets. The land under our master's name even produces more grain than anywhere else!"

"The tenants are doing well, saving energy and saving food. I heard that every household has a longevity tablet dedicated to my young master!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaoyue and Liu Changan praised him repeatedly.

"Such a great skill will bring honor to the family!"

The atmosphere was suddenly very lively.

Liu Yu watched quietly. They were praising him. He should be happy, but he always felt as if there was a veil between them. It was unreal and at the same time, his heart ached like needles.

Outsiders can applaud his achievements, why can't his father and mother ever see it?

He increased the yield of his family's fertile land by 50%, and he still eats for free?

Because he is a cripple?

But he was lame, obviously because, because...

"My parents wouldn't feel proud of it. They hate me and haven't liked me since I was born. My legs were broken by my father!"

The laughter and joy in the valley suddenly stopped.

Shi Xiaoyue's eyes widened in disbelief.

Liu Changan's heart trembled, "W-what?"

Duke Liu personally broke Liu Xiu's leg?

"No, no, girls, don't misunderstand. It's true. When the young master was a child, he was naughty and wanted to run into the city to play by himself. The master found out and was afraid that something might happen to him, so he hit him a little harder. Who would have thought? Who would have thought, just, wuwuwu, wuwu, just..." Nanny Ji said, tears falling from her eyes.

That mismatch makes my heart ache just thinking about it!

"I'm not naughty. My father and mother went to the city to see the lanterns, and I followed them. There was a servant with me~" Liu Yu whispered.

Pain appeared on his thin face.

Liu Changan's head was buzzing, and he had only one thought in his mind.

Duke Liu was afraid that Liu Yu would enter the city and be discovered? So, he broke his legs?

Song's biological son, her brother, was taken away from his biological mother, lived a life of imprisonment, grew up in contempt and insults, and even had his legs broken by his own father?

"What, when did it happen?"

She asked in a trembling voice, her eye sockets red.

"The young master was only four years old at that time, and the master was too harsh." Nanny Ji choked.

Liu Changan couldn't help it, and hugged Liu Xiu tightly, his eyelashes trembling, and tears flowed down.

Her brother, her biological brother, had suffered so much in a place unknown to her and the Song family! !

Liu Xiu!!

Liu Xiu!!!

You have such a cruel heart!

-

Liu Changan hugged Liu Yu and cried.

In Lingxiang Valley, behind a tree so large that it took three people to hug it, Xia Mu was furious, his eyes bloodshot as he cursed, "Bitch, Liu Chang'an, you bitch, I was even speaking for you in front of my parents, you, you really have climbed up the ladder!!"

"That damn cripple, isn't he just a few bucks? He, he, he's no match for me!!"

Thinking back to the Liu Family Manor I saw when I was following Xiong Zhen, the grand gate and courtyard, the three-story mansion, it was definitely a world apart from the Duke's Mansion. However, for Liu Changan, a slave girl, to marry into such a family and become the young mistress, even if she married a cripple, she would still be lavishly clothed in gold and silver in the future. It was much better than marrying him!

"Asshole, bitch, fickle!!!"

Being unable to compare with others, Xia Mu couldn't help getting angrier and angrier. He didn't want to watch anymore and turned away angrily.
