Remarrying Chun Yuan

Yuancuo?

Liu Yuechu then realized that she hadn't seen Yuan Cuo all day.

I thought he had gone to study instead of going to the merchant guild, but I never expected that he had been sent on a mission by the palace.

She thought of Lin Mengyu talking about Vice Minister Li presiding over the autumn examination earlier today, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Yuan Cuo was reading Boss Zhu's letter at this moment, cursing and swearing for several pages, and at the end was the news that a stronghold had been established in the State of Chu.

Li Chengyue also had Boss Zhu deliver two messages, praising the Chu Kingdom as truly wonderful, and saying that the Great Qi Kingdom was nothing compared to it.

Hou Lai also sent a message: "The ten horses that Yuwen Chan lost to you are on their way. Are you really planning to settle them at the Liu family's horse farm?"

There's nothing wrong with the Liu family's horse farm; the problem is that the palace and the army might suspect something is amiss with the Liu family.

Yuan Cuo scratched his head. "Let me think about it..." He really hadn't figured out how to handle it.

For the Empress Dowager's birthday, we can send the best horse to the palace, and that person should also send one; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for the Liu family to breed horses for the Mongol Kingdom.

Perhaps the army will also send two horses, and the Golden Feather Guard will also want... ten horses, he'll be lucky to keep one.

Otherwise, these horses could be kept as pets and raised on the estate.

He glanced outside and saw that it was already getting dark. Thinking that Liu Yuechu was still waiting at home, he thought, "If Vice Minister Li presides over the autumn examination and I still pass with top honors, wouldn't my wife have even more face?"

Hou Lai: "???"

Is becoming a top scorer like buying cabbage? Can it just happen whenever you want?

He pretended to be deaf and didn't hear it.

Yuan Cuo didn't expect him to answer. He instructed the driver to prepare the carriage, as he was going to make a detour to buy Liu Yuechu her favorite braised pork ribs before returning to the Liu family home.

Liu Yuechu has gained some weight recently, but she couldn't resist drooling when she saw braised pork ribs, so she grabbed one and started gnawing on it.

Why aren't you eating, my husband?

"By the way, what tasks have they assigned us for the Empress Dowager's birthday?" She was also wondering whether she should tell Yuan Cuo that the Li family and Wei Gongming had become engaged and that the Li family was also in charge of the autumn imperial examinations.

She was afraid that he would burn down the bookstore in a fit of anger.

After all, he studied very hard.

Yuan Cuo slowly wiped the oil off her face, saying, "Let us provide silk paper; there's a good amount."

"Silk paper? Isn't that the Bai family's work?" Liu Yuechu sensed something was wrong.

Yuan Cuo smiled and said, "The Bai family said that the paper we provided to the Mongol Kingdom last time was of very high quality, better than their silk. So they entrusted us with making the silk paper."

"It sounds like digging a pit." Liu Yuechu felt that it did, thinking of the old man from the Bai family with his triangular eyes, which looked like a greedy jackal, with no good intentions whatsoever.

She bit down hard on the bone, but in her distraction, she didn't notice and her tooth hurt.

She grimaced and rubbed her cheek, and Yuan Cuo quickly helped her rub her face, saying, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'll personally oversee the silk paper matter."

"You're going to have to work hard again, my husband. Now you have to handle all the big and small things at home. Don't you think it's too hard for you?" She rarely acted coquettishly and offered emotional support, hoping to make him feel less proud of not passing the autumn examination.

Yuan Cuo hissed as he looked at the beautiful woman in his arms.

Her skin was like creamy jade, like a peeled lychee; her eyes were as alluring as a seductive fox; and coupled with that sweet, delicate voice, what man could resist?

His large hand was already on her waist, and he whispered in her ear, "It must have been tiring, my wife, how do you plan to make it up to your husband?"

Liu Yuechu smiled slyly, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, "I also really want to serve my husband, but my period is coming up, so I can't today." If it weren't for this day, how would she dare to be so bold?

She knew all too well the ferocity of Yuan Cuo's rage; she simply couldn't handle it.

Yuan Cuo bit his lip. "My wife has really gone astray!"

Seeing her radiant smile, I was so happy I was shaking all over.

Yuan Cuo picked her up and carried her straight to the inner room. "There are other ways to reward your husband, my wife. You can learn from them!"

……

The next morning, when Liu Yuechu woke up, she felt her wrists were extremely sore, as if they were two swollen lotus root sticks.

She swore to God that she would never easily provoke trouble again, but she only wanted to do something bad, and in the end, she was the one who suffered.

Bai Shao heard a noise from inside and came in with a smile. "The young master has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Master is really asking for trouble."

She brought hot water to help Liu Yuechu apply a hot compress, and then took out the ointment that Yuan Cuo had left that morning, asking her to apply it to Liu Yuechu after she had applied the hot compress.

Huajiao couldn't help but laugh, but she felt even more sorry for Liu Yuechu. "Our son-in-law is really two-faced. He has one face in front of others, and another face when he's with his wife."

"No matter how many faces he has, as long as he's good to our master, that's all that matters."

"Anyway, the master can't trust the son-in-law too much; it's always better to keep some things to himself." Huajiao was still more cautious; she always felt that Yuan Cuo had too many secrets.

Liu Yuechu didn't blame Huajiao, because Yuancuo did indeed have many secrets.

In her past life, she only knew that Yuan Cuo was a hero of the Great Qi Dynasty, but that was just a title.

In this life, they not only had many interactions but also became husband and wife. He was a living, breathing person in her eyes. Liu Yuechu was also reflecting on herself, perhaps she shouldn't have thought things were too simple.

Although she felt that it would be a shortcut for him to directly seize the territory of the Great Qi and obtain the honor of Duke Baoguo, she and Wei Gongming had both been reborn, and their lineage had changed from that of the Great Qi in their previous lives.

For example, she contained the snow disaster, so not many people died in the Great Qi; for example, she facilitated the alliance and friendship between the Qi and Meng kingdoms, so Yuwen Chan would not be as eager to annex the Great Qi as he was in his previous life.

She knew that Yuan Cuo had become a hero of the Great Qi Dynasty based on his achievements in his previous life, and Wei Gongming naturally knew that as well.

She was actually quite puzzled as to why Wei Gongming didn't follow the path of Yuan Cuo from her previous life. What was wrong? Did he not have the travel expenses? Did he not want to endure hardship?

In his past life, he despised money so much, yet in this life, he is bound by money.

Perhaps his agreement to marry Li Shu was also because he didn't want to be tied to the Third Prince and wanted to rely on his maternal relatives for support.

But he made the right choice, because Li Shu would definitely risk everything for him.

As long as he doesn't treat Li Shu as cruelly as he did in her previous life, he still has a chance to rise to prominence.

When Wei Gongming saw the betrothal gift list delivered by the steward, he remained as cold as ice.

Even though he was engaged to Li Shu and had even chosen a wedding date, he still didn't love her at all.

But he had no choice, because Vice Minister Li came directly to him and even frankly discussed terms with him. He said that as long as he was willing to marry Li Shu and become the son-in-law of the Li family, he would personally go to the Ministry of Personnel to help him choose a position with real power, so that he would no longer have to be a slave to the Third Prince.

Moreover, with the marriage alliance with the Li family, the Third Prince will no longer underestimate the Zhenning Marquis's Mansion. In fact, by joining forces, they could even make the Crown Prince wary.

When these conditions were proposed, Wei Gongming agreed almost without hesitation.

He knew all too well how important a position of real power was, and he also knew that relying solely on his abilities, he would never become the Third Prince's confidant.

He used to look down on the Li family and only had eyes for Liu Yuechu. But now that she was Yuan Cuo's wife, it was impossible for her to marry him.

Wei Gongming admitted that he was unwilling to accept this situation before, but reality was too harsh and he had no other choice.

He told Guan about the marriage and asked her to negotiate with the Li family.

When Tian Yage learned that Wei Gongming was going to marry a legal wife, she was so shocked that she burst into tears. She was still hoping that she could give birth to a son smoothly and that Wei Gongming would give her the status of a legal wife.

So what is she now?

A nameless, unrecognizable, and despicable woman carrying a man's child?
