Spring Drunk Chang'an

Liu Lang.

He is really her good husband.

She was loyal to her aunt and assisted His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan wholeheartedly. Even when her family was in trouble, she never broke her promise and was so good to her!

"Ruchu, I, your wife, am not a vain person. I don't covet wealth and glory, nor do I love fine clothes and delicious food!"

"It's easy to find priceless treasures, but it's hard to find a lover. As long as Liu Lang loves me, I will accept the slight grievances he suffers now!"

Qu Qiutong was mumbling, her pretty face showing a hint of sorrow.

She hid her identity, lived in seclusion in the suburbs, and became a lowly merchant woman in the eyes of the world.

She dared not return to the class to which she belonged, and all she saw were vulgar and lowly women from the market, some of whom were even made mistresses who never saw the light of day.

Qu Qiutong felt resentful, but...

Liu Lang didn't want to either. Who made Cheng Engong so nosy and insist on reporting her father?

Her father was clearly loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He only embezzled a little money during the disaster relief efforts and didn't let the victims starve to death. How could his property be confiscated and his body exiled?

Thinking of her deceased father, her mother who committed suicide, and her ruined family, Qu Qiutong's eyes moistened and anger rose in her heart, "Lord Cheng'en, the Song family..."

she shouted, standing up suddenly.

Ruchu was startled and quickly supported her, "Hey, Madam, what do you want to do? Just tell this servant!"

"I..." Qu Qiutong bit her lip.

Liu Lang promised her that he would help her take revenge, deal with the Cheng'en Mansion, overthrow the prince, and overthrow the queen. By then, without her backing, Song would also "die of illness".

Even if their Qu family can never be redressed, she will become the 'mistress' of the Ningguo Mansion.

but……

She is unwilling to do so.

The Song family ruined her family and turned her from a pampered noblewoman into a disgraceful mistress. She hated the Song family, but could do nothing about it. Fortunately...

"Liu Lang's feelings for me are real!"

Liu Lang exchanged her son, Wen Bo, for the Ningguo Mansion. Her child was born with a noble status, the position of a prince, while Song's son...

The 'extra' child.

"Come on, Ruchu, accompany me to see the young master. Find a few servants to carry the young master out of the house and let him bask in the sun."

Since the Cheng'en Mansion harmed her entire family, she naturally had to "treat" Song's son well.

Qu Qiutong lowered her eyes slightly and chuckled softly.

"Forehead……"

When the young master goes out to bask in the sun, he likes to sit in a wheelchair and doesn't like being carried around in public!

Ruchu wanted to say something, but seeing her wife's expression, she suddenly shut her mouth and said obediently, "Yes, I will go find someone right away."

She turned around respectfully and ran to find four servants. Then, Qu Qiutong brought her to Liu Yuyuan, ignoring his numb expression and the tears in the corners of Nanny Ji's eyes.

Qu Qiutong forced four servants to lift Liu Yu onto the tall sliding sedan chair.

Like a sacrifice on an altar, the servants carried the sedan chair on their shoulders and jolted out of Liujiazhuang, along the dirt road, parading all the way under the gazes and whispers of the tenants and farmers.

The servants' shoulders swayed.

The sliding sedan chair shook violently up and down.

Liu Yu's lower body was unstable, and he held the handle of the slider tightly with both arms, trying to control himself from collapsing in the chair.

but……

With little success.

The bones in his lower body were broken at the root, and he had little strength in his waist and abdomen. He could still control himself when he was moving forward in a balanced manner, but now the situation was shaking so much that he could only sway awkwardly from side to side in the sedan chair.

Like a funny tumbler.

"Haha, the young master is out playing again."

"Grandpa, look, this is so interesting..."

In my ears were the whispers of the tenants and the laughter of children.

Liu Yu closed his eyes in despair.

He wants to die!!

Let him die!!

-

The sliding sedan chair stopped and started near Liujiazhuang.

Among the tenant farmers who were watching the fun, there was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in his thirties. He was holding a notebook and sketching something with a charcoal stick.

He was the person sent by Liu Wenrui to monitor and investigate Liujiazhuang.

His name is Ma Yue.

After finishing the last stroke, he picked up the notebook. The drawing on it was of Liu Yu. "It's done, it's done. After waiting for so many days, I finally waited for this Young Master Liu to come out!"

"It's not easy."

Ma Yue sighed. Investigating the wives of the masters of Liujiazhuang was easy for him. In fact, because rats have their own ways, he already had evidence that the master of Liujiazhuang was Duke Liu. It was just a portrait of Liu Yu...

too difficult.

This old man doesn't go out for ten days or half a month.

He was squatting at the gate of Liujiazhuang, and he was almost getting lice.

"A complete success."

After finishing the last stroke, Ma Yue smiled, put the portrait in his arms, and left quietly.

as if……

No one noticed.

However, the moment he left, an inconspicuous man, who would be easily overlooked even if standing in front of others, turned out from behind a tree. He stared hesitantly in the direction where Ma Yue had left, frowning and muttering to himself, "Sure enough, Liu Wenrui's men have appeared."

"How could His Royal Highness know this?"

"Forget it, go back and report to the master."

He pursed his lips, turned around and retreated behind the tree, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As she was watching the lively villagers, she was suddenly surprised and confused. "Second Aunt, was there someone standing next to us just now?"

"People?" Second Aunt was bewildered. She turned around and looked around. "Where is the person?"

"Don't scare me in broad daylight!"

"I, I think I saw it!" The villager scratched his head.

At this moment, Ruchu poked her head out of the carriage behind the sedan chair in the distance, suddenly scattered a handful of money on the ground, and shouted, "Our wife is kind-hearted. Seeing your hard work, this is a reward for you!"

"Ouch!"

Seeing this, the tenants rushed forward, and the villagers and Second Aunt followed quickly, completely forgetting whether they saw anyone or not.

-

Duke Ning's Mansion.

Liu Changan had no idea what was happening in Liujiazhuang in the suburbs.

After deeply avenging the Song family, she wanted to find an opportunity to go to Chunliyuan to ask the prince, but today's work was unexpectedly heavy.

She followed Rong Cui and worked until dusk, when everyone in the main courtyard had gone to bed, and she finally had some time.

Look at the sky.

The moon is out.

"I probably can't knock on Chunliyuan's door, and His Highness should be asleep by now!" In the back room, Liu Chang'an sat in front of the window, looking at the moon in the sky.

She really wanted to go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But it was too late.

Feel……

It doesn't look very good.

After all, she was just a little girl, knocking on a man's door in the middle of the night, well...

"let's talk tomorrow."

Liu Changan rarely felt the shyness of a girl. She pouted her lips, turned around, washed up and went to bed.

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, just as the sun came out, while Mrs. Song was still asleep, Liu Chang'an hurried to Chunliyuan with the "bodyguard" Liu Wenrui had found for her, a taciturn, seven-foot-tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted maid named Chuntao.

After arranging Chuntao to have snacks in a small compartment, Liu Changan went to meet the prince alone.
