Chapter eight hundred and eighteen it's time to let go
"Yue'er, why are you a brother again?"
"Second brother, what are you talking about? Yue'er has already recorded one person's confession. Of course it's your turn to record the next person's confession.
If you leave this one to Yue'er, do you want to exhaust me to death?"
Seeing the little cutie's angry eyes, Liu Chengzhi rolled his eyes helplessly, and directly raised the stack of rice paper in his hand to the little cutie's face and waved it a few times.
"Yue'er, Brother Wei just recorded three confessions in a row. You just recorded one and now you start shouting that you are tired?"
The little cutie laughed angrily a few times, then grabbed the second brother Liu Chengzhi's wrist and shook it a few times with a smile on his face.
"Good second brother, you are Yue'er's brother, can't you just give in to Yue'er?
Don’t forget how Yue’er treated your eldest brother and you when our brothers and sisters were still young.
No matter which time Yue'er invites you to Tianxiang Tower for fun, isn't it Yue'er who helps you pay the bill in the end?
At that time, Yue'er and I took out hundreds of taels of silver. Did Yue'er say anything? Did Yue'er worry about anything for you?
Oh! Now that you have a family and a career, and you have sister-in-law Jingyao, don’t you love your sister anymore?
Is there anyone like you who is an older brother?
People say that when you marry a daughter-in-law, you forget about your mother, but it’s better for you to forget about your sister as well.”
The little cutie asked several questions in succession, leaving Liu Chengzhi speechless.
Seeing the feigned anger on the cute face, Liu Chengzhi nodded hurriedly.
Isn’t it just recording a confession? What a big deal!
Brother, I’ll record it for you, that’s fine.”
The little cutie suddenly beamed with joy, looked at her second brother, and nodded with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yue'er is really a good second brother."
Liu Chengzhi suddenly put his finger on his lips and gave the little cutie a serious look.
"Shh, it's starting again!"
The little cutie immediately put away her smile, leaned over and picked up the inkstone on the ground and handed it to her second brother Liu Chengzhi.
The oil lamp crackled, emitting a faint light in the dark.
The people in the cell were explaining the crimes they had committed.
People outside the cell were writing furiously to record everyone's words.
After a long time, the cell became completely quiet, and there was no more sound.
The little cutie stood up lightly, leaning her waist slightly, and probed to observe the situation in the cell.
"Second brother, you should have recorded everything, right?"
Liu Chengzhi was sorting out the rice paper in his hand. When he heard the little cutie's question, he smiled and nodded.
"I have recorded seven confessions here, plus the three you have recorded, for a total of ten confessions.
All alive.
We can finally have a good rest."
With the faint light, the little cutie gently shrank back.
"Now that the confession has been recorded, why hasn't Daddy sent us a code?"
Liu Chengzhi squatted on the ground, arranging the four treasures of the study at his feet with a blank expression.
"What's the rush? There's probably something else that hasn't been finalized yet!
I’ve been waiting for so long, so what’s the point of waiting a little longer.”
"Second brother, it's already late at night, Yue'er is sleepy!"
Liu Chengzhi put the rice paper recording the confession into his sleeve, and when he was about to speak, several intermittent coughs suddenly came from the cell.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Little cutie, brother and sister Liu Chengzhi looked happy and looked at each other hurriedly.
"Second brother, Daddy's secret code."
"Brother, I heard it too, so wear a cloak."
"good."
After the brother and sister stood up, they directly put the cloaks on their heads on their backs and walked towards the cell unhurriedly.
The brother and sister Liu Chengzhi stopped outside the cell door, one on the left and the other on the right, coughing lightly under their throats.
"Where are the poplar trees?"
Young Master Liu looked at the two brothers and sisters standing outside the cell, glanced at everyone in the cell calmly, stood up and walked towards the cell door.
"exist."
"Your matter has been settled. Come out with us two brothers."
"Thank you, my lords."
"You're welcome. My brothers also use money to do things."
Liu Chengzhi's voice was hoarse and he was polite, took out the key from his sleeve, and skillfully opened the cell door in front of him.
"Come out."
Liu Dashao smiled and nodded, then walked towards the outside of the cell.
Liu Chengzhi locked the cell door again, walked to Young Master Liu and nodded.
"Let's go."
Young Master Liu glanced back at the cell behind him and walked forward with high strides.
The two cute little brothers and sisters tugged on their cloaks and followed them slowly.
As soon as Mr. Liu and the other two people set out, a group of people in the cell rushed toward the cell door in a hurry.
"Master Yang, don't forget what happened next after you go out."
"Master Yang, I'm waiting for your good news."
"Master Yang, Master Yang, I would like to thank you in advance for your great kindness."
"Master Yang..."
Young Master Liu seemed not to have heard the shouts of a group of prisoners in the cell behind him, and walked out of the No. B cell area with a gloomy expression.
After walking out of Cell B, Liu Chengzhi and his sister took off their black cloaks.
"Dad, the matter should be almost settled, right?"
"Stinky daddy, Yue'er is sleepy, when can we go back to rest?"
Young Master Liu glanced sideways at the two brothers and sisters following him, but did not answer their questions.
"Your Majesty, Song Qing, is here to see you."
"Veteran Xia Gongming, please see your Majesty."
"Sisters and sisters, please see daddy."
Young Master Liu stopped and raised his hand to signal.
"Everyone is free of charge."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, daddy."
Young Master Liu picked up the herbal tea on the table, took a sip, dropped the tea cup, and walked out of Zhao Prison first.
"Let's go."
"yes."
"As commanded."
The group of people came out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Young Master Liu leaned over and took off the horse's reins from the hitching post. After standing up, he looked at Song Qing and Xia Gongming.
"Brother, sir, it's already past midnight. You should go back and rest early."
Song and Qing were stunned and looked at Young Master Liu with doubtful expressions.
"Your Majesty, is it about love?"
"Let's talk about love affairs after the court meeting the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, I understand."
"Go back and rest,"
"I'll take my leave first."
After Song and Qing disappeared on the long street, Young Master Liu turned around, glanced at the children behind him, and gently tugged on the horse's reins.
"Let's go, let's go back too."
Liu Chengzhi and his four brothers and sisters looked at each other and followed slowly, holding their mounts.
Although the city has been under curfew for a long time, the streets in the city are still brightly lit under the lights on both sides.
However, on the brightly lit streets, except for the occasional military guard patrolling the streets, no one else could be seen.
Liu Chengzhi and his four brothers and sisters would glance sideways at Young Master Liu's expression from time to time.
Seeing the gloomy expression on their father's face, the four brothers and sisters followed him silently.
At this moment, even the little cutie with a carefree personality is very well-behaved.
"Chengzhi, Yue'er."
"father?"
"Daddy?"
The little cutie who has always been a stinky daddy, when he heard Young Master Liu greeting him, he also called out daddy in a sweet voice.
"Have you two brothers and sisters recorded the confessions of those bastards?"
"Reply to Dad, my sister Hao'er and Yue'er have recorded the confessions of the prisoners in detail."
"Where's the confession?"
Liu Chengzhi put the horse rein in his third brother Liu Chengqian's hand, quickly took out the stack of rice paper from his sleeve and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"Dad, all the confessions are here."
Young Master Liu took the confession from his second son, Liu Chengzhi, and casually put it into his sleeve.
"Chengzhi, Yaoyao."
"father?"
"Daddy?"
"Chengzhi, do you still have some wine in your wine bag?"
"have."
"Let my husband drink some."
Liu Chengzhi took off the wine bag from his waist without hesitation and handed it to Young Master Liu with a respectful expression.
"Dad, drinks."
Young Master Liu uncorked the wine, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and glanced faintly at the four children following him.
"Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Yue'er, Chengqian, the four of you brothers and sisters, tell me what kind of person your father is?"
"father?"
"Daddy?"
"Don't worry about your father being angry. You can say whatever you want."
"Baby, baby..."
"Daddy."
"this!"
"Dad, are you okay? Why do you suddenly ask such a strange question?"
Young Master Liu couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart when he saw his four children hesitating to speak.
The children have grown up, and they are no longer as close as they were when they were children!
I would never doubt their filial piety towards me, Yun'er and the other sisters.
However, after seeing my children gradually growing up and having their own ideas.
In my heart, I feel somewhat uncomfortable.
old.
Really old.
Young Master Liu sighed secretly in his heart, raised his head and took a sip of wine, then hurried towards the Liu Mansion with a lonely figure.
It was at this moment that Young Master Liu suddenly understood.
My children have grown up, and I and all my ladies have grown old.
To all the children under his knees, he seemed to——
It seems that it's time to let go.
I can protect them for a while, but I can't protect them for the rest of my life.
Liu Chengzhi and his four brothers and sisters looked at the lonely figure of Young Master Liu and hurriedly chased after him.
Looking at their father's lonely and desolate back, their hearts...
I felt a little flustered for no reason.
"father."
"Daddy."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Dad, are you okay?"
"Dad, do you want to say something?"
Young Master Liu capped the wine cork in his hand and handed it directly to Er Zi.
"Bad boy, wine bag."
"Dad, it's just a wine bag. If you keep it, that's all."
Young Master Liu looked happily at the four children beside him, and gently tapped the four brothers and sisters on their foreheads one by one.
"Why, does it look like my father is in trouble?
Two stinky boys and two stinky girls. In more than an hour, it will be daybreak.
You are tired, and the Father is tired too.
I won’t say anything else, let’s go back and have a rest.”
"father."
"Daddy."
"Dad, what's going on? Go back and have a rest.
If any of you are not sleepy, just keep on enduring."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he got on his horse and gently whipped the riding crop in his hand.
"drive!"
Looking at their father's back as he rode away, the four brothers and sisters couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After the four Liu Chengzhi brothers and sisters came to their senses, they immediately got on their horses and whipped the riding whip in their hands hard.
"drive!"
Without even half a cup of tea, Young Master Liu and several of his children rushed to the gate of Liu Mansion with their horses and whips in full swing.
"Hush!"
"Hush!"
As if hearing the soft shouts of Mr. Liu and his party, the door of the mansion opened in response.
Liu Song, who had already returned from Zhao Prison, hurried out with Xiao Wu and others.
"Little Liu Song has met the young master."
"I have met two young masters and two young ladies."
Young Master Liu got off his horse and threw the reins in his hand towards Liu Song.
"No gifts."
Liu Song quickly took the riding whip and saluted cheerfully.
"Thank you, Master."
After the four Liu Chengzhi brothers and sisters got off their horses, they bowed to Liu Song with a smile.
"Uncle Song."
"Uncle Song."
"Young master, young lady, you are all back."
"Uncle Song, you've been exposed to us again, haven't you?"
"The etiquette cannot be abolished; the etiquette cannot be abolished."
After Young Master Liu walked into the door of the mansion, he stretched his arms with his arms raised high.
"Chengzhi."
"The child is here."
"You guys should go back and rest first."
The four Liu Chengzhi brothers and sisters looked at each other and bowed in unison.
"Yes, my son, please leave first."
Young Master Liu seemed to have thought of something, and raised his eyes directly towards the third son Liu Chengqian,
"Cheng Qian, please wait a moment."
Liu Chengqian paused in his steps and turned towards his father with a confused look.
"father?"
"Cheng Qian, you understand the character of a father, there are some things you can just do as you see fit.
As long as it doesn't go too far, there is no objection from the father's side."
"ah?"
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Chengqian's stunned expression, chuckled and waved his hand.
"Go back and rest."
"Hey, the kid knows."
After watching Liu Chengqian's figure disappear, Young Master Liu turned to Liu Song and hooked his fingers.
"Willow Pine."
"Master?"
"You should rush to the inner courtyard immediately and find a maid to inform you politely.
Tell her that the young master is waiting for her at Qiu Shuangting in the garden."
"Yes, little one, let's go right away."
"Okay, Master, I'm going to the garden first."
"My congratulations to the young master."
"etc."
"Master?"
"Don't forget to ask Wanyan to bring a jar of wine."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
After Young Master Liu arrived at the garden, he jumped directly, landed on the pavilion and lay down.
Putting his hands behind his head, Liu Da looked calmly at the bright moon in the sky and sighed sadly.
"You're heartless, it's already midnight, what are you doing here with me?"
Young Master Liu came back to his senses and looked towards the Queen with a smile.
"I miss you, don't I?"
The Queen gave Young Master Liu a charming look, lay down on the side with an elegant manner, and casually handed the wine jar in her hand to Young Master Liu's hand.
"De Xing, it's strange that I believe you."
Young Master Liu knocked off the sealing mud on the wine jar and took a sip of wine happily.
"To put it bluntly, what I said to my husband is all the truth."
"Screw you, tell me, what else is there to worry about that you can't figure out?"
Young Master Liu handed the wine jar to the Queen's hand, turned slightly and rested his head on the Queen's slender legs.
"Euphemism."
"Um?"
"My husband is turning 42 this year."
"so what?"
"My husband and I are both old and our children have grown up.
