Spring Drunk Chang'an

What exactly did Old Lady Song, Song Chengji and the Song family discuss, and what method did they plan to use to divorce?

People don't want to say it clearly.

Liu Changan was too embarrassed to ask for fear of arousing suspicion.

but……

She couldn't ask the Song family, but she had other channels.

"Your Highness will tell me!"

After reporting to the guards, he was brought into the study in Chunliyuan. Liu Chang'an stared at Xiao Chuo with his almond-shaped eyes and smiled in a flattering manner.

It also contains infinite sincerity.

She is so happy.

After so many years of rebirth and so much work, I finally see the light of hope. The Ningguo Mansion is about to fall into bad luck...

How could she not be happy?

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for several days.

Xiao Chuo lowered her head and looked down at the little girl with a sweet smile, her pointed fangs showing, her face red, and a smile in her smoky eyes. He deliberately said seriously, "I dare not ask my aunt. I am as well behaved as a little mute in the Cheng'en Mansion."

"How dare you come and harass me?"

The little girl was becoming less and less afraid of him.

"Your Highness is different!" Liu Chang'an tilted his head and blurted out instinctively, "I believe Your Highness will not be angry with me for asking around."

“Other people are different!”

The Cheng'en Mansion belongs to someone else.

Her master, Song, is also someone else.

Only he is different!!

Xiao Chuo couldn't help but slightly raise his head, and a warm look appeared in his smoky eyes. He raised his chin slightly, coughed lightly, and said as calmly as possible: "You are good at sweet talk and making people happy."

"What do you want to ask? Tell me."

"How can I be kidding? My words are from the bottom of my heart!" Liu Changan pouted.

The previous life had proven how powerful the prince was. He was deposed and reinstated twice and succeeded in the rebellion. This was definitely different from the Cheng'en Mansion, where Liu Xiu had his property confiscated after a slight frame-up.

What's more, since her rebirth, she has been around the prince and working so hard!

Get results.

She will definitely ask the prince! !

She is not familiar with Old Madam Song!!

"Um, what did Old Madam Song, Prince Song, and his wife discuss? What do they want to do?"

"Your Highness, please tell me!"

Liu Changan smiled ingratiatingly.

Xiao Chuo, with her hands behind her back and in a good mood, didn't tease her and said directly, "...I want to make something of Liu Wenbai. I want to expose his identity as a concubine's son and deny that he is a criminal. Then I can let Qu Qiutong go. That should bring Qingru back."

The Ningguo Mansion won’t care about her being a girl.

I will promise to give it to my aunt.

"Can't we just expose everything and have Liu Xiu demoted and his property confiscated?" Liu Changan was quite unwilling.

Xiao Chuo's eyebrows knitted slightly. "The child swap will have an impact, but it's not serious. There's no evidence to prove that Liu Xiu did it himself. He can push the blame onto Qu Qiutong or any of his servants."

"Concubine Qu and Prince Yan will protect him."

"Even if they report it, the only charge they will receive is a charge of lax household management, a three-rank demotion, and a few years' fine. Even if they reveal that Qu Qiutong is the daughter of a traitor, the crime will be aggravated by three levels, and my aunt and Liu Wenrui will not be able to escape."

"Why not take this opportunity to negotiate a condition?"

There is no need to perish together.

Liu Changan didn't understand, but he was unhappy. However, he had no choice but to mutter, "Letting Qu Qiutong go is a condition. What are you going to do in exchange for Liu Qingru?"

That's Aunt Lai's child!

It’s a pity that the Song family didn’t know.

I don't know... Did Old Lady Song and the others become suspicious? During the few days she stayed at Duke Cheng'en's mansion, Song Zhinian had been testing her!

"Qingru is a girl, and it doesn't matter if she divorces her mother and goes home. But Wenrui is a legitimate male son. A mere Qu Qiutong can't exchange him for her!"

Xiao Chuo said in a deep voice.

Even if Liu Xiu loves Qu Qiutong as much as his life, the Liu clan will not compromise easily.

Liu Changan frowned, "What should we do then?"

Don’t you want Liu Wenrui anymore?

It's good for her, but the Song family may not be able to bear it.

"As long as Liu Wenrui has no value as a male heir." Xiao Chuo said calmly.

Liu Changan's round almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened even wider, and he cried out in surprise, "Worthless? Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are you, are you going to..."

Cut it off!!

It’s not worth having a male child!!

Her cheeks flushed in disbelief.

Xiao Chuo gave her a strange look. "Now that Liu Wenbai's identity as a concubine and adulterer has been made public, he's half ruined."

The laws of Daxia were based on the system of primogeniture. If there was no legitimate or illegitimate heir, the title would be demoted three ranks, and if the son was a concubine's son, the title would be demoted three ranks again.

Ningguo Mansion is a 'Duke', and the third rank is 'Viscount', and the third rank is...

Then there is none.

If Liu Wenbai wants to make a name for himself, he must work hard to pass the imperial examination and become an official. Therefore, the Liu family will not give up Liu Wenrui, the "legitimate son", but...

"What if Liu Wenrui becomes disabled!"

"Daxia has a law that those with physical disabilities or facial defects are not allowed to serve as officials or inherit titles."

Like Liu Yu, Liu Xiu broke his legs, which also meant to cut off his way back to inherit the title.

"Disabled? How, how disabled? Disabled, disabled..."

Eunuch?

Liu Changan asked with difficulty.

Xiao Chuo said calmly, "The old lady meant to cut off one of his fingers!"

Liu Changan gasped and opened his mouth in surprise.

My grandmother? Is that so cruel?

As expected, she is Madam Song!

"But my aunt couldn't bear it. She was afraid Liu Wenrui couldn't bear it. In the end, they decided to temporarily break his legs and bribe the imperial physician, saying that he couldn't stand!"

"He can't inherit the title, nor can he serve as an official, and fight for the interests of the Ningguo Mansion. When the time comes, I and the Cheng'en Mansion will put pressure on the Liu family, and they will naturally give up on him."

Xiao Chuo said lightly.

Liu Changan was speechless and stunned for a long time. "Um, um, who, who will break his leg? Can they control it to the point of breaking it and then healing it?"

Wouldn't he really be beaten to death with one blow?

Well, that seems pretty good too.

"I will send a skilled person to do it myself." Xiao Chuo pursed her lips, disapproving.

He knew very well what kind of person Liu Wenrui was. He was a bully who relied on the power of others to bully the weak and fear the strong. To him, the Cheng'en Mansion was of no use at all. It was just that his aunt was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to let him go, and the Cheng'en Mansion also valued blood ties and made plans for him.

If he were to be crippled, it would actually be a better thing.

To prevent him from being greedy and causing trouble.

"Oh, then, Your Highness, I, I discussed cooperation with Liu Wenrui. He, he knew about the replacement of Liu Wenbai and Liu Yu, and I even promised to help him become the crown prince..."

Liu Changan bit his lip and spoke in a low voice.

Somewhat guilty.

“Will there be any impact?”

"When you did it, you were full of courage, but now you are afraid?" Xiao Chuo said solemnly, pointing at her, "If I say there is, what will you do?"

"I, I..." Liu Changan bit his lip and said hurriedly, "I'm going to talk to Liu Wenrui!"

But what to talk about?

she does not know.

That man is not easy to control. If you are not careful, he will suffer the consequences.

"To engage a tiger in conflict with it is not a good thing. You must remember this lesson!" Xiao Chuo looked at her guilty expression and softened her tone, "You are a girl. No matter what worries you or how urgent your situation is, you should always put yourself first!"

"You shouldn't take risks."

"You, and I am alone!"
