In the main hall of the Taifu Mansion, screams and wails were heard continuously.
Thick blood dyed the carpet on the ground red. After seeing her daughter banging her head against the pillar and seeking death, Mrs. Liu let out a sharp scream from her throat, and finally her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.
Seeing this, Master Liu did not show any mercy.
He squatted down in front of his daughter and checked her breathing before turning around to look at the housekeeper who was waiting beside him, shaking like a sieve.
"Call the imperial physician and find another nurse to examine the body... well, I'll go find one myself."
There was no one in the entire Taifu Mansion who was worthy of his trust, not even the old butler who had been loyal to him.
When the butler heard this, his knees went weak and he fell to his knees on the spot. The sound of him banging his head on the ground and kowtowing struck people's hearts.
He lowered his eyes to look at the housekeeper kneeling in front of him. He had devoted himself to assisting the prince in the palace over the years, but ended up making such a big mistake that even the housekeeper in the mansion had become distracted.
There was a calm expression on his face. Master Liu did not let him stand up, but walked around him and headed out of the main hall.
It happened that at this time Liu Jing wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the main hall.
Master Liu caught a glimpse of his back out of the corner of his eye and called out his name.
His body suddenly became stiff, and Liu Jing turned around with his head lowered. Facing his stern father, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
As Tutor Liu looked at his son who didn't even dare to raise his head, he felt more and more desolate.
His throat rolled over, and he heard a hoarse voice say, "Have you made up your mind? Are you going to marry the second young lady of the scholar's mansion?"
Yun Rusi is the second daughter of a cabinet minister, but she has a spoiled temper. Even he has heard of the heroic deeds of this second daughter.
Liu Jing is not good at talking with his father and is most afraid of his father checking his homework.
Hearing that his father was asking about his marriage, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in response, "Father, I want to marry the Second Miss Yun."
Even though he knew that his son was a hopeless person, he still listened to him nodding firmly and speaking in a positive tone.
Master Liu still felt a black screen before his eyes.
He clenched his hands into fists hidden under his wide sleeves and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, if that's the case, I, as your father, won't stop you."
"I, Liu Bowen, have assisted two generations of monarchs in my life, but I can't even raise two children. How ridiculous, how ridiculous, hahahaha..."
The sad laughter gradually faded away until it could no longer be heard. Liu Jing then tentatively raised his head. Seeing that his father was nowhere to be seen, he immediately walked quickly towards his own courtyard.
He completely ignored his mother who fainted from fright behind him, and his sister whose life or death was unknown after hitting the pillar.
-
When the news that the prince's ex-fiancée, Liu Hanyan, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, was no longer a virgin spread throughout the capital, Li Shengyi was still playing with birds in his study.
The parrot was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It has all white feathers and should be a fledgling that has not yet grown to full size.
Holding a pine nut in his hand and handing it to the parrot's mouth, Li Shengyi heard Qingfeng's voice coming from his ears.
"...It's all confirmed. It was the Grand Tutor who personally found the nanny. What happened this morning has spread all over the capital."
"I heard that after Miss Liu woke up and learned about this, she wanted to commit suicide, and Madam Liu also wanted to die."
The master and servant were whispering to each other, and at first Li Shengyi didn't hear what Qing Qingfeng said.
Only when she stretched her neck and listened carefully did she hear the rest of the words.
Qin Songmo raised his hand and moved his fingers. Qingfeng immediately shut his mouth and waited behind the armchair.
"Shengyi, would you like to sit in Daddy's arms?"
Li Shengyi was about to speak when he felt a sudden pain in his finger. Turning around, he saw that the parrot had taken his finger and held it in its mouth as if it were a pine nut.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and before she could pull her fingers back, a dark shadow appeared in front of her.
The cool fingers that had only warmed up in the study grasped her wrist and pulled her fingers out of the parrot's mouth.
"Why are you so careless? You beast have no eyes. What if I hurt you?"
A familiar low voice sounded above his head. Li Shengyi looked at his unbroken fingers, raised his head and met the eyes of the person in front of him.
"No, Tangyuan is very good and won't peck me."
"But Daddy, why did you suddenly want to hug me?"
[Although I like my dad's face very much, it's not appropriate for men and women to be intimate with each other! ]
Qin Songmo stood in front of the soft couch, lowering his eyes to look at his little daughter who was being raised very well by him.
After a long while, he opened his lips and said, "I think Shengyi really wants to hear what Qingfeng said, but I'm afraid you can't hear clearly."
"Why not come into my arms and hear clearly."
Li Shengyi looked embarrassed when he was caught eavesdropping.
She laughed it off, not feeling shy. She grabbed the hem of the man's clothes and asked him, "What happened? Sister Liu wanted to commit suicide? How could this happen?"
Qin Songmo curled the corners of his lips when he heard that, raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek, "You little rascal, how could you not know?"
Li Shengyi's cheek was pinched, and the corner of his mouth turned down. "You were whispering to Qingfeng, but even if I stretched my neck, I couldn't hear what Qingfeng said."
"Why would Sister Liu commit suicide just because the Crown Prince broke off the engagement?"
While Li Shengyi was speaking, his eyes would occasionally fall on the parrot, as would his fingers. He didn't remember the pain of being bitten, and gently stroked the parrot's soft feathers with his fingers.
Ever since the prince sent someone to deliver the parrot to the prime minister's residence in the morning, Li Shengyi has been playing with the parrot for a long time.
Even lunch was eaten in a hurry, and my favorite afternoon nap was moved to tomorrow.
Qin Songmo learned about this after returning home at noon, and finally understood why his little daughter would always run up to greet him whenever he returned home, hug his arm and say to him, "Daddy, you have worked hard."
But it disappeared today.
At this moment, he was talking to Qingfeng about the private matters that interested her most, and she did not put down the parrot in her hand.
A gloomy look flashed between his eyebrows. Qin Songmo grabbed her hand that was touching the parrot, then held her in one hand and sat down at the desk.
"Liu Hanyan is trying to commit suicide because the imperial decree to cancel the engagement was passed to the Grand Tutor's residence this morning. Liu Hanyan hit her head against a pillar and tried to commit suicide. Grand Tutor Liu still asked a medical examiner to examine her."
"Look, the results from the physical examination nanny were not what Liu Hanyan wanted, so she cried and raged, and she and Madam Liu wanted to commit suicide."
Li Shengyi uttered an "Ah," his features wrinkled. "That's it? Are you going to commit suicide?"
If this happened in modern times, wouldn't she have died unjustly? You can't verify whether a woman is actually that way just by looking at that little thing.
[However, based on Liu Hanyan's temperament, she might have already gotten involved with the Second Prince...]
If this marriage were to go through, wouldn't the Second Prince be constantly mocking the Crown Prince in the palace for being cuckolded?
[After all, Liu Hanyan is not a good person. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the people, and it is best for him to be without this troublesome person.]
