Spring Drunk Chang'an

Why did Wang Jin die?

This is completely different from what he expected?

"Was it sent back by the bailiffs of Jingzhao Yamen?" Liu Wenbai was confused, his expression was murderous at one moment and cautious at another.

Just as Liu Changan guessed, he was thinking too much.

He frowned, pondered for a moment, then stood up and went to the front yard himself, ready to interrogate the yamen runners and Liu Chang'an. Unexpectedly, he just arrived at the guest room in the front yard and pushed the door open.

At first glance, he saw Song.

"Mother, why are you here?" Liu Wenbai blurted out anxiously.

Song turned around, her face filled with worry and fear. "I heard something happened in Chang'an, with bandits and deaths. I was worried, so I came to check it out~"

"You heard about it too? Are you here to ask?"

"Hey, the housekeeper said that your servant named Wang was killed by bandits. How dare those bandits kill someone in broad daylight, right under the emperor's feet!"

"Uh..." Liu Wenbai looked at her frightened face, his voice choked, and his eyes moved back and forth between her and Liu Changan.

Liu Changan's eye sockets were moist, his nose was red from crying, his expression was full of fear, and there was a hint of resentment at his bad luck.

Song put her arm around her shoulders, worried and compassionate.

Didn't Liu Chang'an know Wang Jin was going to kill her? Didn't she know it was someone he sent? Was her contact with Liu Yu really just an accident?

Song was not one to put on a show. When he paid his respects today, he had been testing her and observing her for a long time. She had treated him just as she had before, and there was nothing wrong with her, so...

Liu Wenbai thought rapidly in his heart, but said a few words of consideration on the surface, "Don't be afraid, mother. A few days ago, I heard from my father that General Tang mentioned the matter of several gangs of bandits near the capital during the morning court. His Majesty has already sent the Imperial City Guards to suppress the bandits, and the situation should be quelled soon."

"Just hope that mother doesn't leave the city in the next few days."

"People have died, how dare we leave the city?" Song sighed, dejected. "I don't know what's going on lately. Nothing's going well. The Ningguo Mansion rejected the marriage proposal, and we ran into bandits in Chang'an. Your servant's life was saved, and he's gone!"

"Hey, he died while doing errands for the government. We can't just ignore him, Wenbo. Remember to tell me about your servant's family, his wife, children, parents, and so on. I'll find them some work so they can live better."

The people around Liu Wenbai were all arranged by the old Duke, and the Song family had no idea about it unless it was recorded in the inner house accounts.

"Okay!" Liu Wenbai said in a deep voice, with a look of displeasure between his brows.

Liu Changan and Wang Jin, mere maids and servants, how could they be mentioned in the same breath with his marriage?

The Song family, haha, are confused and ignorant.

He sneered and looked at Liu Chang'an again. He saw that she was holding Song's hand, silently shedding tears, and looked extremely scared. He was anxious and wanted to ask the yamen runners, so he used kind words to send Song and Liu Chang'an away.

"Mother, you two should go back first. Let me and the steward take care of these external affairs."

"Okay." Song responded and left with Liu Changan.

Before leaving, Liu Chang'an looked back and saw Liu Wenbai staring at the yamen runners with burning eyes and asking them questions.

She couldn't help but pursed her lips and sneered.

Just ask, everything the yamen runners know was made up by her to confuse people.

Liu Wenbai, even if you have extraordinary abilities, haha, let's see what you can find out during the interrogation?

-

Of course, nothing can be asked.

After the yamen runners told Liu Wenbai all the stories Liu Changan had made up, they succeeded in making him... even more confused.

"How come there are still some heroes? Where did they come from?"

In Xiushan Hall, Liu Wenbai slammed the table hard, his expression grim and his eyes unpredictable.

Two middle-aged men with ordinary looks stood respectfully.

Like Wang Jin, they were all secret men given to Liu Wenbai by the old king.

The two men looked at each other, then at their master, who had a stern expression on his face. "My Lord, that girl surnamed Liu was lucky this time and escaped death. Should we, your subordinates, find another opportunity to take action?"

They asked cautiously, but they were confused in their hearts, how could a mere maid provoke the prince to such an extent that he had to get rid of her?

But it is their duty as servants to share their master's worries.

"Just give your orders, my Lord."

Both of them said in unison.

Liu Wenbai lowered his eyes, gazing at the azure sky outside the window for a long, long time. Suddenly, he waved his hand, "Jingzhao Prefecture has been implicated, and my mother has become alert. She has detained Liu Chang'an and has not even left the house."

"Someone's been killed in the mansion. It's too conspicuous. Don't alert the enemy. For now..."

"let it go."

Anyway, if Liu Changan really found out something about Liu Yu, the moment she came back alive, no, it should be said that the moment she knew it, the Song family might have known about it.

But now, Song Shi didn't make any movement. When he paid his respects to her as usual, judging from her behavior and expression, she didn't seem to understand anything.

that……

The acquaintance between Liu Changan and Liu Yu was most likely a coincidence. Since she didn't know, or perhaps she knew but didn't dare to report it, Liu Wenbai wouldn't have to take the risk.

Kill her? It would be better to eliminate the trouble directly.

As long as Liu Yu died, there would be no evidence to prove who was real and who was fake.

"It's such a pity, Dad, he..." Liu Wenbai murmured, his expression half annoyed and half helpless.

Liu Yu is also Daddy's child. For him, Daddy has made up his mind to cripple him with his own hands, ruining his prospects and future.

Daddy won't kill Liu Yu.

Liu Wenbai knew that in his father's heart, Liu Yu's importance was far inferior to his own, but he would not risk proposing to kill his brothers, lest his father be disheartened and end up...

To leave such trouble.

"We still have to eradicate the problem completely!"

He sighed, his eyes grim as he pondered how to avoid his father from killing Liu Yu.

perhaps……

Mother can help him.

Liu Wenbai raised his brows, stood up, strode out of the yard, and hurried out of the mansion, leaving Liu Qingru, who came to look for him, empty-handed.

-

Ningguo Mansion, Changyin Pavilion.

Liu Wenrui sat on the couch, fanning himself. A delicate beauty in thin clothes leaned against his side. She pinched grapes with her nails dyed red and fed them to his mouth.

My arms are filled with the softness, warmth and fragrance of jade.

Liu Wenrui curled up lazily, pinching the beauty's face from time to time, and kissing and hugging her from time to time.

"Second Young Master, you are so bad~~" the delicate beauty said angrily.

Liu Wenrui lifted her chin with his fan, stepped forward and kissed her cheek, and said jokingly, "I remember you didn't say that in bed yesterday!"

"Back then, you still called me a 'good man'. Hurry up! What's the matter? Why did you change your tone?"

"Hey, Second Young Master, what nonsense are you talking about?"

When the matter of sex was mentioned in broad daylight, the delicate beauty's face turned red, she twisted her body unwillingly, and covered her face with shame.

"Hahaha!" Liu Wenrui laughed loudly, turned over and pressed her down, ready to indulge in lust in broad daylight. Unfortunately, just as he started, a maid outside the door announced, "Second Young Master, the eldest lady is here!"
