Spring Drunk Chang'an

As soon as he finished speaking, before Liu Wenrui could get up from the beauty, the curtain was lifted and Liu Qingru rushed in angrily. He saw two people lying on the couch.

"Ah! Second brother, what are you doing in broad daylight?"

She covered her face in shame and screamed loudly.

Liu Wenrui frowned in disappointment, his heart ablaze with lust. He couldn't bear to scold his sister, so he kicked the beauty in anger and cursed, "What are you standing there for? You're polluting the young lady's eyes!"

"Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The beauty's face turned pale with pain. She didn't dare to cry out in pain. She covered her ribs and left the room carefully.

Liu Wenrui pulled up his open clothes, sat up straight, and said with a flattering smile: "Okay, okay, Qingru, it's okay now. Come and sit down."

He waved to his sister.

Liu Qingru finally opened her eyes and said unhappily, "What kind of place has a dirty woman sat? I won't sit there, second brother, you're going too far. You actually, actually..."

"Humph, I'm going to tell Grandma!"

She swung her sleeves angrily, walked past Liu Wenrui's small couch, and sat directly in the main chair.

Her pink little face was puffed up and she glared at her second brother unhappily.

Annoyance flashed in Liu Wenrui's eyes for a moment, but he suppressed it helplessly. He sighed and said, "Qingru, please be reasonable. It was you who broke into my room without informing the maid."

"This is the inner chamber, how can there not be servants..."

Liu Qingru widened her eyes and glared at him with grievance.

Liu Wenrui felt guilty and waved his fan vigorously. "Forget it, forget it. Why am I telling you this? Good Qingru, dear Qingru, it's your second brother's fault. He's gone too far..."

"I apologize to you, will you forgive my second brother?"

After saying that, he stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed to Liu Qingru solemnly.

It looks similar.

Liu Qingru was amused by him and smiled brightly. The anger in her heart subsided. She waved her hand generously, "Second brother, since you apologize sincerely, then I will generously forgive you."

"Yes, yes, you are so generous and magnanimous." Liu Wenrui smiled and bowed, coaxing his sister into a good mood before sitting down and asking, "Come to think of it, how did you find the time to come to Changyin Pavilion today? Haven't you been pestering my eldest brother these past few days, hoping to ask him for something?"

"What are you pestering me about? Second brother, can you speak? It's obviously my eldest brother who is in a bad mood. I feel sorry for him, so I accompany him and make him happy." Liu Qingru pouted and shouted in dissatisfaction. Seeing her second brother's teasing eyes, she snorted, "It's just, it's just..."

"He has such a bad temper. He keeps chasing me away and ignoring me. I go looking for him, but he's not there!"

Liu Qingru fell in love for the prince for the first time and wanted to become his princess consort. She wanted to go to the palace and please Queen Song so that she could choose her as her daughter-in-law in the future selection of concubines.

Song is the younger sister of Queen Song. If she wants to enter the palace, she should go to Song to plead for mercy. However, Liu Qingru has recently had a quarrel with Song and is unwilling to give in. So she wants to ask Liu Wenbai for help and join forces with Duke Liu to suppress Song.

However, Liu Wenbai was upset about Wang Jin's affairs, so how could he have time to care about her?

"Big brother is too much!"

Liu Qingru sounded annoyed.

Seeing this, Liu Wenrui quickly surrounded her, coaxed her with nice words, and agreed to many of her conditions, which made her happy. Then he sighed and said, "I feel it too. Big Brother has been like a man of fire these past few days. He's moody and unpredictable. I don't know what's wrong with him."

"So bad temper?"

"Perhaps the Duke of Qi's Mansion rejected the marriage proposal!" Liu Qingru curled her lips and said disdainfully, "The Shi family is really ungrateful. My eldest brother is the son of a noble Duke, talented in both civil and military affairs, and has an outstanding appearance. They are willing to propose marriage to that ugly girl Shi Xiaoyue. The Shi family must have burned incense and practiced Buddhism for several lifetimes to achieve this!"

"In the end, the Shi family actually pretended to refuse. Seriously..."

"Big brother must have been humiliated by the Shi family's rejection of his marriage proposal, so he's feeling depressed."

"The Shi family!" Liu Wenrui waved his fan and lowered his head. His eyes, hidden behind his long eyelashes, seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, they were replaced by deep regret and eagerness.

The Duke of Qi's Mansion rejected their marriage proposal. Given my father's temper, he must be very angry. My eldest brother is proud and disdains to use tricks, and he will never marry a woman who has rejected him. But my grandfather and father want to win over the Shi family...

So, could he find a way to do something about it?

Shi's daughter was ugly and crude, but her dowry was generous. She was also the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi. If he could take her into his arms, with the help of the Duke of Qi's relatives, then the position of the crown prince...

cough cough.

He is also a legitimate son, no worse than his elder brother, but he was born a year later. How can the prestigious position of Duke have nothing to do with him?

Liu Wenrui was thinking about it, but Liu Qingru didn't notice the change in her second brother's expression. She was still cursing the Shi family angrily until Aunt Lai sent someone over and said she had something to talk to her about.

She reluctantly shut up and waved to Liu Wenrui casually, "Second brother, my aunt is looking for me, so I'll leave first."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you, when I came here, grandma said that she was out of osmanthus cake. Remember to buy some for her. This is a good opportunity to please grandma!"

"I haven't told my brother yet."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Wenrui to answer, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Wenrui looked at her back, the corners of his mouth drooped, and his smile faded slightly.

"Haha~" After a while, he suddenly sneered, "My eldest brother's marriage was rejected. Everyone in the mansion followed him in silence, flattering and coaxing him. Even Qingru avoided his edge, and I..."

"I'm just an errand boy who buys cakes for my grandmother!"

He murmured, a murderous look appeared between his brows, and his face became a little ferocious. After a long, long time, he took a deep breath again, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

He resumed his usual dandy and unrestrained demeanor and shouted, "Come here, send someone to the Eight Treasures Shop to buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, call Jiao Lu back, and get some more wine. This young master hasn't had enough!"

"Yes!"

Outside, the servant who heard his order responded and called the delicate beauty who had been kicked away by him, and ordered her to serve wine and flatter him.

The two of them were having a wild time.

The whole house is filled with spring.

It was not until evening that Liu Wenrui woke up from his drunken stupor. The delicate beauty helped him wash up and prepare to go to Rongxiyuan to please Old Lady Lai.

He changed his clothes, dressed up beautifully, and was about to go out with the osmanthus cake in his hand.

Suddenly, a servant came in through the curtain and reported, "Second Young Master, a second-class maid in Madam's courtyard, named Liu Chang'an, came over and said that Madam has something to tell you."

"Liu Chang'an? That servant girl, I didn't cause her any trouble, yet she actually dared to come see me?" Liu Wenrui paused, raised his brows, and sneered, "How audacious! Does she really think her mother is omnipotent and can always protect her?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's interesting, let her in."

"Yes!" The servant responded, turned and left. After a while, he returned with Liu Changan.
