Remarrying Chun Yuan

When Wei Gongming came to his senses, he also noticed that the gazes around him were all strange.

He coughed twice, and then, in a serious tone, began to recount the pursuit of Yuwen Chan: "...There is internal strife in the Mongol Empire. We must catch the assassin who killed the Mongol prince and give the Mongol Empire an explanation!"

"So, the eldest prince of Meng Kingdom is dead?" Liu Yuechu pressed.

Wei Gongming was slightly surprised. How could she speak of life and death so simply? In her past life, she would be saddened even when cats and dogs got sick. Yuwen Chen was a human life, yet she had become so indifferent to life and death?

"His fate is unknown, but we are already summoning imperial physicians to try to save him." That was the only answer he could give.

Liu Yuechu sighed, “As expected, evil lives on for a thousand years, and they’re still alive.” She stepped back a few paces, making way for the constables. “Then let’s investigate. But after this investigation, please leave a note from the county magistrate, stating that the Liu family has been investigated, so as to avoid any further disturbances… I’m not afraid, but there are still women in the household who cannot withstand the repeated shocks of swords and spears.”

Wei Gongming was surprised that she agreed so readily and waved to the yamen runners.

Liu Yuechu stood with her hands clasped behind her back, while Bai Shao and Hua Jiao blocked Wei Gongming's unrestrained gaze.

There had already been gossip, yet he still stared so brazenly? And this is supposed to be the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning's mansion? He has absolutely no airs of a noble young master...

Liu Yuechu remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic.

Her gaze followed only the constables who went to search for him, and she didn't even glance at Wei Gongming.

Wei Gongming stared at her for a long time, considering whether he should say a few words to her.

But what should he say? He hadn't decided.

He wondered if he could ask why she wouldn't choose him again in her second life; or if he could ask Yuan Cuo if he was a hypocrite, a sanctimonious man who wasn't a good match.

Or ask her again, why she dared to take on the responsibility of running the Liu family business independently, could he really help her...?

He had a lot to say, but didn't know how to say it. In the time it took to ponder this, the constables had already searched the area and gathered together, completely extinguishing his hopes.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, nothing was found."

"I didn't see any bloodstains, so they probably didn't run in this direction."

"Nothing at all?" Wei Gongming couldn't help but ask.

He just wanted to buy himself some more time so he could catch a few more glimpses of her stunning beauty.

"That... the son-in-law of the Liu family is inside, sweeping the yard." The head constable didn't want to say it, but Wei Gongming asked, so he couldn't lie.

Wei Gongming's face stiffened instantly; he hadn't expected Yuan Cuo to be there as well.

Could it be that she hadn't been seen all this time because she was with him...?

"What a spineless coward," he muttered angrily before leaving with his men.

Bai Shao, seeing his figure fade away, put her hands on her hips indignantly, "Who does he think he is, daring to talk about the son-in-law like that!" Although Yuan Cuo was an ordinary person, he was always kind to people and very protective of his master.

"Alright, no need for further words. Go and tell Uncle Ma to prepare the car. We'll head back later," Liu Yuechu instructed, feeling that they couldn't stay here any longer.

She rushed to see Yuan Cuo again, saying, "They probably want to rescue Yuwen Chen. They've already started arresting people on the grounds that Yuwen Chan assassinated his brother."

She asked a couple more questions, and to her surprise, Wei Gongming actually answered.

Yuan Cuo composed himself. "It seems we need to hurry and revive him..." Only one of the two princes can live. They prefer to support Yuwen Chan. If Yuwen Chen is spared, Yuan Cuo will not let him live, even if he doesn't die.

Liu Yuechu took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "My husband has worked hard. After this is done, you must reward him properly."

"How do you plan to reward your wife? Why don't you tell me first to cheer her up?" Yuan Cuo liked teasing her, which made her cheeks turn as red as peaches.

Liu Yuechu thought about it carefully, "Why don't I cook a bowl of noodles for my husband? I've never cooked for anyone else before." Even Wei Gongming in her previous life had never eaten it.

It wasn't that she was unwilling to do it, but that Wei Gongming wouldn't eat it.

Yuan Cuo nodded with great satisfaction and said, "For my wife's sake, I'll definitely wake him up tonight!"

"???" Liu Yuechu didn't expect him to act so quickly. "If I had known, I wouldn't have asked Uncle Ma to prepare the car. I should have stayed a little longer before going back."

Yuan Cuo still urged her to leave, since staying here would arouse suspicion if outsiders saw her.

After seeing Liu Yuechu off, he found several servants from the Liu family to clean the outer courtyard as a cover.

On her way home, Liu Yuechu made sure Uncle Ma drove slowly. She secretly peeked through the gap in the car curtain to see what was happening outside.

As expected, the massive search by the Golden Feather Guards and the county government caused widespread panic, and even the street vendors selling snacks became fewer. People hid in corners and whispered among themselves, but what they were saying was hard to hear.

When Liu Yuechu returned home, Liu Muchi and Liu Musheng were anxiously waiting for her.

Upon seeing Liu Yuechu return on her own, Liu Musheng immediately asked, "Where's my brother-in-law? Was he captured by the Golden Feather Guards?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? He's just taking the servants to tidy up those courtyards. Otherwise, when it gets hot, the weeds and mud in the courtyards will smell terrible if they're not cleared." Liu Yuechu glared at him. "Are you two just bored? Are you sitting at the door enjoying the cool air?" She was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Liu Musheng rambled on and on, recounting the search by the Golden Feather Guard and the county government. "Our family was also approached, but they only searched once and left without damaging anything." He was afraid of being robbed.

Seeing that her second sister showed no surprise, Liu Muchi asked, "Could it be that you've encountered this as well, second sister?"

"I checked, it's nothing, don't make a fuss." Liu Yuechu just wanted to get back to the courtyard to rest as soon as possible. She would wait for news from Yuan Cuo that night, and she might even sneak out again.

Liu Musheng continued gossiping, bringing up Pei Chun's misfortune, "...He was there the night Yingchun Tower caught fire, and he almost got implicated!"

He said he personally witnessed someone throwing excrement at Yuwen Chen.

"Although the Mongolians are all lousy and deserve it, the person who threw the excrement was really wicked. Using such a trick is just too despicable!" He was completely gloating.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Liu Yuechu's fierce expression.

"W-What's wrong?" He suddenly felt guilty and scared.

"I don't think you're any good either!"

"He went to Yingchun Pavilion, did you go there too? You're just a spoiled brat who spends your days eating, drinking, and having fun, and you still have the nerve to talk bad about others!"

"Things are chaotic outside these days, so don't go out! Stay home and learn etiquette and manners from Granny Fang, so you don't embarrass yourself by going out and not knowing anything!"

She turned on him and cursed him, then took her maids and returned to "Yuanchu Pavilion".

Liu Musheng was baffled. "Good heavens, what's wrong with him again? I'm starting to feel more and more sorry for my brother-in-law."

Liu Muchi noticed something amiss, but it wasn't convenient to tell his elder brother. "I'll go find my second sister and discuss the accounts for the past few days," he said, hurrying after her.

After thinking it over, Liu Musheng decided it would be better to go back to his own courtyard to rest. He also wondered if he should get a wife to help curb his sister's arrogance.

Unfortunately, Fang Ziqing has already entered the palace, so his chances are completely over. Which young lady is still unmarried? He really needs to think about it!
