Remarrying Chun Yuan

"Since we're already here, we can only discuss the terms."

Liu Yuechu did not tell them that Yuwen Chan had escaped from Yuan Cuo and Hou Lai.

Unexpectedly, after escaping, he walked right into a trap.

He was destined to be inextricably linked to the Liu family for the rest of his life.

Liu Yuechu gave a few instructions to those around her on how to address the outside world.

Yuan Cuo had already gone to summon Hou Lai to bring Yuwen Chan down from the roof beam.

The yamen runners only inspect what they can see, but are unwilling to look up.

Liu Yuechu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. When it comes to scheming, Yuan Cuo was indeed a cut above the rest.

Yuwen Chan could neither move nor speak, but he could still hear.

He heard that the county government was conducting a large-scale search of the Liu family's residence, and that the yamen runners were even conducting a thorough search of the pond.

Yuan Cuo removed the needles from his neck, and he was finally able to speak. "So you two are from the same family..." He was put on the ground, and the first person he saw was Liu Yuechu.

He was deeply impressed by this woman; even in Mongolia, there were very few women who dared to negotiate with him alone.

Liu Yuechu saw that his injuries were covered in blood, and even the bandages had congealed with blood and stuck to his body. There were also wounds from falling into the water that had been torn open, and bright red blood had seeped out again.

But she had to admit that the Mongolians were physically strong.

Such an ordeal would have been unbearable for the soldiers of the Great Qi.

"You must remember, our Liu family saved you twice." Liu Yuechu naturally wouldn't say that she was the mastermind behind the whole thing.

Yuwen Chan snorted coldly, naturally understanding what she wanted. "Change the bandages on my wounds first, that's how you show your sincerity!"

"Is sincerity just healing your wounds and letting you escape?"

Liu Yuechu didn't believe it. "Our Liu family is kind, but we are not innocent victims to be slaughtered. If you are willing to cooperate, you should first show your sincerity. Otherwise, I will send you to the palace. Perhaps you can even get a reward from His Majesty, and your elder brother might agree to cooperate with me."

"Is he really not dead?" Yuwen Chan sighed at her shrewdness, but for some reason, her scheming was not disliked.

“We don’t know the specifics either. If you’re willing to cooperate, none of this will be a problem.” Yuan Cuo spoke slowly and deliberately, but there was a hint of hostility in his tone.

Even Liu Yuechu could sense this hostile aura, though she didn't understand its origin.

Yuwen Chan, however, recalled the day he pricked himself with needles and uttered those words as cold as ice.

"I need to think about this, and I also need to rest."

Yuwen Chan didn't want to give an answer now, because that would be tantamount to handing his life over to the two people in front of him, and then it would no longer belong to him.

He admitted that he preferred Liu Yuechu, not only because of her stunning beauty and unparalleled charm, but also because her courage and wisdom made him willing to be her devoted follower.

But this man was unfathomable and inexplicable to him. His seemingly polite appearance concealed a cold and ruthless nature that even he found terrifying. He genuinely did not want to get close to him.

Seeing that he was indeed not in good condition, Liu Yuechu said, "Then I'll give you one night to think about it. I'll wait for your reply tomorrow morning."

Yuwen Chan breathed a sigh of relief. Besides wanting to change his wound medicine, he also wanted to eat something.

Yuan Cuo had already examined his wound. "Yuechan has been studying medicine for some time now, but she hasn't made any house calls yet. Let her handle changing the dressing."

Liu Yuechu: "...It's not impossible."

Liu Yuechan was frightened not entirely because of Yuwen Chan, but more so because Liu Yuechu discovered her little scheme.

Upon learning that Yuan Cuo had instructed her to take charge of Yuwen Chan's injuries, she was greatly shocked. "Are you sure, are you sure it was my brother-in-law who asked me to do this?" she asked, unable to believe it.

Liu Muchi nodded, "I'm sure. My brother-in-law said that after studying medicine for so long, he should practice on him."

He didn't understand why Yuan Cuo made this decision, but since his second sister didn't object, he had no choice but to do it this way.

Liu Yuechan was both excited and afraid. She was excited because her brother-in-law had finally noticed her; she was afraid that she would do a bad job and disappoint her brother-in-law.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Liu Muchi asked with great concern. Liu Yuechan had just taken medicine to lower her fever and didn't seem to have fully recovered her energy.

Liu Yuechan nodded repeatedly, "I'm fine, I can do it!" She didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to try her hand at something.

Although Liu Muchi felt it was inappropriate, he couldn't forcefully stop her. "Cui'er is no longer able to serve you. Second Sister will have Sister Bai Shao come to keep you company. If there's anything, you can talk to her."

Liu Yuechan finished drinking all the bitter medicine she had just taken, wiped her mouth, and said, "Sister Bai Shao, please fetch some water. Let's go to the next room to change his dressing and treat his injuries."

……

The day after Liu Yuechu opened her eyes, she received a message from Yuwen Chan requesting a private conversation with her.

She was still sleepy and a little confused. "Didn't they want to take advantage of us? Why did they agree so readily?"

Huajiao glanced into the courtyard and saw Yuancuo basking in the sun, stretching his limbs.

She leaned close to Liu Yuechu's ear and whispered, "Bai Shao said that when Yuechan changed the dressing for the prince of Meng yesterday, it was a terrible sight. But the young master had given him acupuncture beforehand, so he couldn't scream in pain."

The pain was excruciating, yet she remained speechless. Just thinking about it terrified Huajiao. Fortunately, Bai Shao was there to comfort her; otherwise, she would have nightmares.

Liu Yuechu was dumbfounded. "Yuechan doesn't seem like someone who's heavy-handed. How could she have gotten herself into such a terrible state?" She was just a delicate little girl. All she did was remove the old bandages, clean the wound, and re-bandage it. How could she have scared Yuwen Chan like that?

Huajiao shrank his neck. "That old bandage has been stuck on for a long time. If you peel it off even slightly, it will tear the wound. Besides, Miss Yuechan has always been served by Xiaocui. When has she ever served anyone else?"

She got goosebumps all over when she thought of Bai Shao's words.

Liu Yuechu couldn't help but click her tongue in disbelief. She thought Yuan Cuo's idea was a win-win situation, benefiting both Liu Yuechan and Yuwen Chan. But it turned out to be a threat and intimidation.

He probably already knew that Liu Yuechan's first attack would be horrific.

"Let's eat. I'll go after we eat." She wouldn't go to see them immediately after receiving the news. The arrogance and pride of the Mongolians couldn't be worn down in such a short time. They needed to suffer a bit more.

After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, Liu Yuechu went to the west courtyard alone to see Yuwen Chan.

Yuan Cuo did not follow, but picked up a book and slowly read it.

Hou Lai was still eating breakfast in silence. Seeing him so relaxed, Hou Lai couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "Aren't you worried that Princess Yue is going to see the Mongolian prince alone? That handsome, tall, and domineering prince is very popular with women."

Men understand men very well.

Yuwen Chan's gaze towards Liu Yuechu was unusual.

Yuan Cuo turned the page without any concern. "My wife has seen good meat before, she's not that picky..." Once Yuwen Chan recovers, he will quickly send him out of the capital and back to the Mongol Kingdom.

I refuse to believe that someone so far away can still miss me!

"Eat and drink your fill and get to work. I feel uncomfortable even if that person breathes for a moment longer." He was referring to Yuwen Chen.

Hou Lai was puzzled, "Why must he take his life?" He had followed Yuan Cuo for many years and had never seen him so determined to take a life.
