Spring Drunk Chang'an

Song's pale face was stained with a strange blush. Her eyes widened as she stared at Xiao Chuo and Liu Changan, "What, what's going on?"

"You tell it." Xiao Chuo tilted her head and ordered.

Liu Changan bit his lip. "Madam, this was an accident. A few months ago, when I accompanied you and the old lady to the farm in the suburbs to pick some fresh vegetables, I ran into some trouble. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed by and saved me. He and I..."

She spoke softly and selectively, telling Song Shi almost everything about the investigation process, except Liu Caodeng.

"I found Old Man Hu, who was guarding the back door, and asked him the truth about what he said. I also found out the truth about Young Master Liu's disability. Also, the Young Master... well, the Young Master sent people to kill me. It was Wang Jin and those bandits who were in collusion with each other and they wanted to kill me."

"If he's not guilty, why would he want to kill someone to silence them? I think it's 80% certain, so I reported it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Facing Song's pale face and red eyes, Liu Chang'an lowered his eyes, unable to bear to look.

She couldn't fully understand how her biological mother felt now. She thought it must be the same as when she lost her adoptive parents in her previous life.

It was so painful that my flesh and liver were torn out.

"...Chang'an told me, and I sent my trusted aides to investigate. They found the midwife who delivered Qu Qiutong." Xiao Chuo continued, her brows fixed. "She said that Liu Wenbai was induced to give birth in September. He wasn't premature, but he was still quite small. He only weighed 5.2 jin (16.3 kg) and was very thin. On the inside of his right upper arm, he had a mole the size of a peanut, shaped like an egg!"

"I've investigated, and he does have it."

"On the contrary, it's Liu Yu, who is all white."

After Xiao Chuo finished speaking, she lowered her eyes quietly and said nothing more.

He gave Song some time to calm down.

Liu Changan pinched his sleeves with both hands, looking nervous and worried.

Song stared at the two of them blankly, feeling empty inside. Her mind kept recalling Liu Wenbai's appearance and how he looked when he was young.

She had no experience in giving birth for the first time and became exhausted after giving birth. The child was taken away by the Duke to be taken to the old lady and was returned to her a day later.

She had looked a little thin at the time, and she had even worried about why the child looked so small, fearing she wouldn't be able to raise him, but, but...

On the day of delivery, I vaguely remember that when the midwife delivered the baby, she shouted, "A big fat boy was born, probably weighing more than seven pounds!"

Any moles?

Does Wenbo have any moles on his body?

Does she, does the child she gave birth to have a mole?

After giving birth, she struggled to look twice, as if, as if she didn't see any mole?

Song thought she had forgotten the scene of childbirth nineteen years ago, but when she recalled it now, it was as clear as yesterday.

In the room filled with the smell of blood, I was exhausted. The midwife cut the umbilical cord, carefully held the baby she had just given birth to, wiped it with hot water, and then showed it to me.

He was a chubby, fair-skinned boy with a clean skin.

There is no mole at all!

"Ahhh!!!" The only remaining extravagant hope was dispelled by the memories, and Song screamed in despair, "Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you are so cruel, you are so cruel!!"

He had been deceiving her since they got married. He had a mistress and treated the daughter of a traitor as his wife. He, he swapped her child!

He asked her to raise his son for his concubine.

He broke her first born's leg!!

"How could you? How could you? That's your child too!!" Song's heart was broken, and her mouth tasted salty and fishy. She thought she still had a little bit of 'affection' and that she was just a philandering thought with the extravagant Liu Xiu.

Collapse suddenly.

Her tears fell like beads on a string, and she murmured helplessly, "My child, my child, he, his name is Liu Yu, right? I want to go find him, take me to find him!"

"Achuo, Chang'an, where is he? Where is that child? My child, my son."

“I haven’t even taken a few glances!”

Song struggled, almost emotionally breaking down as she pulled at the two men, her body going limp.

Liu Changan's tears couldn't stop falling, and he didn't know what to say to comfort her.

Song family...

Not only was the eldest son replaced, but the youngest daughter was also replaced. She raised children for her two rivals.

Qu Qiudan outside the mansion.

Aunt Lai in the mansion.

Ningguo Duke Liu Xiu.

These three people have caused great harm to Song, Liu Yu and her.

"Wuwuwu!" The more Liu Changan thought about it, the more pitiful he felt for himself and his daughter, and he couldn't help crying softly.

Crystal clear tears dripped down her cheeks as she supported Song.

Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Xiao Chuo lowered her eyes and looked at the two women who were hanging on her arms, one on her left hand and one on her right hand, crying uncontrollably.

He frowned and let it go for a moment, then realized their voices were getting louder and louder. He couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Alright, stop crying."

"Are you afraid that others won't hear you?"

"Aunt, don't forget, Liu Yu is still in the hands of Liu Xiu and Qu Qiutong!"

"Ah?" Song was startled, then reacted immediately. Wiping away tears with weak hands and feet, she hurriedly said, "Child, that Yu, Yu'er, let's go get him, bring him back!"

"How should I respond? Should I break off relations with Liu Xiu? I'll report him, accusing him of swapping noble bloodlines and plotting against my uncle. Then, the Duke of Ningguo's mansion will be demoted and his property confiscated. Liu Yu will then take you, Wenrui, and Qingru and exile them five hundred miles away."

Xiao Chuo said coldly.

Song was stunned.

"Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and do nothing, right?" Liu Changan asked.

Xiao Chuo lowered her eyes, "Auntie will go and apologize to Old Madam Lai. I will go back to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion and discuss with my uncle to see if there is any way to allow you and Liu Xiu to divorce and take Wenrui and Qingru with you."

Divorce is easy.

Liu Xiu dared to swap his eldest son with his illegitimate child and use this matter as a threat. If he divorced one of them, he would definitely get the child. He could also talk about taking Qingru away, after all, she was a girl.

But Liu Wenrui!

Men.

Moreover, if the transfer were to be exposed, Liu Wenrui would be the only legitimate son of the Ningguo Mansion, and the Liu family would never let him go.

He is indispensable even in exile.

Taking Song and her children into consideration, and the fact that the Ningguo Mansion has been run for generations, has many relatives, and has the support of Prince Yan and Concubine Qu, if they are not killed in one blow, both the owner and the family will be destroyed.

Song's eyes were wide open as she stood there blankly, her gaze dazed.

"Madam, you, you don't want to divorce?" Liu Changan asked anxiously.

A divorced woman has a bad reputation and her life is not easy.

Song turned to look at her, and after a long pause, she suddenly gave a wry smile, "Chang'an, since I married into the Ningguo Mansion and became the mistress, I have never wronged anyone in the Liu family. I have been filial to my parents-in-law, assisted my husband, raised our son, and managed the household affairs. I have done everything."

"Everyone in the capital knows that I am considered a virtuous woman, but, but..."

Any functions?

When did Liu Xiu ever appreciate it?

"He is so ruthless, what can I miss!!!"
