Spring Drunk Chang'an

Duke Liu's smile was strange.

Song looked at this and felt very uncomfortable, not knowing what went wrong.

Moreover, the joy of her son's success gradually faded away, and she thought of Qu Qiutong, the daughter of a guilty minister.

The smile on Song's face slowly faded.

Duke Liu didn't notice, or rather, he saw it but didn't care. Instead, he said excitedly, "Mother Lan, tonight, you should prepare a small banquet. Let's all have a good time at Mother's house and celebrate for Wenbo."

"The Autumn Examination hasn't started yet. It's not a good idea to show off now, right?" Song hesitated.

Duke Liu's brows darkened. "What's wrong with that? I didn't tell anyone else about it. It was just a family get-together. What's the big deal? Lan Niang, I know Wenbo was young and hot-headed, and he accidentally contradicted you a few times, but he knows he was wrong. He gives you thanks every day and apologizes to you!"

"Don't be too harsh on the child!"

Liu Wenbai was not Song's biological son, even though she didn't know it, but Duke Liu was guilty and felt day and night that Song was not kind to her eldest son.

Children naturally want to be close to their mothers, so why would Wenbo have such a stiff relationship with Song?

Mingming, he took his child to see Qiu Tong two years ago and told him his true life story.

It turns out that the Song family is unkind!

Duke Liu became increasingly dissatisfied, but he never expected that Liu Wenbai was raised by the old duke just when he was one year old, and he would not see Song for three or five days.

Even though Song wanted to be kind, she couldn't see her children.

Where is the time to cultivate family affection?

"This..." Being accused without any reason, Song Shi felt very aggrieved, but she was gentle by nature, and even if she was disgusted, she didn't want to conflict with others. "Master, what I mean is that Wen Bo has never participated in the imperial examination. Even if Song Xuezheng said so, I don't know if he can really pass it?"

“Why put pressure on children?”

"Mother Lan, how could you curse a child?" Duke Liu waved his hand, unwilling to listen to her explanation. He simply felt that his eldest son had been wronged. "Wenbo takes after his uncle and is exceptionally talented. How could he possibly fail the exam?"

"Bah bah bah!"

"You don't want to do anything good. Hey, I know you got angry last time when Wenbo contradicted you because of the people in your second brother's room, but as a mother, how can you be so picky with your child? Really, really..."

He paused, glanced at the Song family who was unable to defend herself, stamped his feet and said, "Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to organize the banquet, let the Lai family do it."

"Just attend tonight."

After saying that, without even looking at Song's reaction, he turned around and left unhappily.

Song stared blankly at his back for a moment, then suddenly swung her sleeves in anger, "What are you talking about? I'm not unwilling at all, it's obviously you who's talking nonsense!"

"You, you, bah!"

"You are so shameless! If it weren't for our three children, I would have divorced you long ago!"

Song murmured, her face ashen.

In the inner bedroom, after listening to the emotions expressed by Liu Changan throughout the whole audience, he felt a mixture of emotions, which were very complicated.

Some happy, some angry.

happy……

My biological mother really thought about divorce.

angry……

How could Duke Liu have the nerve to let the Song family celebrate for that illegitimate child?

What do you mean by following your uncle?

Liu Changan dared to swear that the 'Uncle Wenbo' mentioned by Duke Liu was definitely not Song Chengji!

She bit her lip, walked out of the inner chamber, came to Song's side, and whispered to comfort her, "Madam, please don't be angry. Don't argue with the Duke..."

"It's not worth it."

That's not a person.

"Chang'an! I..." Song was slightly stunned. She turned back and looked at her with a wry smile. After a moment, she sighed deeply, "Alas, we have been married for twenty years after all. I will always forget his bad deeds and remember his good deeds."

The Song family was a truly tolerant person, strict with themselves and lenient with others.

In her eyes, Duke Liu's current crimes - keeping a concubine, having a child with an illegitimate child, and committing adultery with the daughter of a guilty minister - seemed to have other intentions.

Except for the last one, the rest...

Not serious.

For a dignified duke, having a concubine is no big deal. He had a child born out of wedlock, and other people also had a lot of illegitimate children. However, it was a lack of personal morality, which was not a big mistake. The concubine was the daughter of a criminal minister, which was considered a violation of the national law, but it was just a private affair...

The crime may be serious or minor.

Duke Liu had some face in front of Emperor Yingwu. Besides, Qu Qiutong was the niece of Concubine Qu in the palace, so he had to give the other party the benefit of the doubt.

The punishment will not be too severe.

There is also the matter that Duke Liu colluded with the Qu family, betrayed the Eastern Palace, and framed Duke Cheng'en's Mansion. Xiao Chuo has not responded yet, and I don't know whether it is true or not!

The Song family couldn't help but feel optimistic.

"...We've been married for twenty years. Even if he's heartless, I really don't want to turn against him~"

Liu Changan looked at her cautiously for a long moment, then choked out a sentence, "Madam, can't you forget your feelings for the Duke?"

Don't do that.

If her biological mother was someone who would do anything for love, wouldn't her efforts to be reborn be in vain?

In her previous life, when she was with her biological mother, she was clearly not a person who put love above everything else. How could this be?

Liu Changan was anxious and angry.

Song looked at her flushed face and was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "What are you thinking about, kid? Liu Xiu treated me like this, and I'm not a cheapskate, how can I not forget his feelings?"

"He and I have no feelings for each other for a long time!"

"That……"

Why can’t you let go?

Liu Changan's eyes opened wide.

She is really anxious.

"Even without love, we still have three children!" Song sighed, feeling helpless. "For Wenbo, Wenrui, and Qingru, I will not leave the Ningguo Mansion no matter what."

"It's not reasonable to take the male heir of your husband's family with you when you divorce."

"The Queen is my sister, the Crown Prince is my nephew, and the Cheng'en Mansion has been a party to the Eastern Palace since the beginning. If Liu Xiu betrays and joins the Prince of Yan, he will become an enemy of the Eastern Palace and the Song family."

"By then, Wenbo, Wenrui, and Qingru will be caught between Liu Xiu and me! Their parents are at odds with each other, and it's a matter of life and death. What will they do?"

Song's eyes flickered.

She could do without a man, but she couldn't bear to give up her child.

Therefore, she sincerely hoped that Duke Liu was just a playboy and did not have any other ideas, as long as he did not betray the East Palace, be a playboy, have a mistress, or have a child out of wedlock.

She can tolerate all this.

Let her bear the sadness and pain alone, don't bring harm to her children.

"Madam~" Liu Chang'an looked at Song's tears hidden under her eyelashes, his fingertips trembling slightly, and he was speechless.

Liu Wenbai was born out of wedlock, and Liu Qingru and she were swapped, but Liu Wenrui was the real biological son of the Song family.

Even if Liu Yu and she were willing to leave with the Song family, what about Liu Wenrui?

Even if he is willing, will the Ningguo Mansion be willing to release him?

Since the founding of Daxia, no woman has ever been able to take the men of her husband's family with her after divorce!

"Madam, I, I'll go ask the prince."

After a long silence, Liu Changan spoke in silence.

Did the Crown Prince find any evidence that Duke Liu had betrayed the Eastern Palace? She didn't know, but she couldn't let the Song family continue to hold on to hope.

The greater the hope.

The greater the disappointment.

It's time to find a way to tell her about Liu Wenbai.
