Remarrying Chun Yuan

"If I don't sell you the horse, you threaten him so he won't pass the imperial examination? I really underestimated my uncle. Not only can he control the official roads of Liang, but he can even manipulate the rankings in the imperial examinations?!"

"I very much want to be promoted to the rank of Prince, but does my uncle need to approve it first?!"

Qin Muyan yelled until she felt a metallic taste in her throat, and then she vomited blood from anger.

Liang Ye was completely bewildered by the beating, and even more terrified by Qin Muyan's words.

"Your Highness, please calm down! I've been busy helping you with the grains lately, but I don't know if I've done anything wrong. Perhaps I was just drunk and said something offensive. Please enlighten me!" He didn't even know what had happened, so he needed a reason to take the blame!

Qin Muyan was so angry that his eyes turned green. He pointed at Liang Ye but couldn't say a word.

"Tell him! Tell him!"

Qin Yong, who was still standing nearby, immediately explained the gist of the matter: "...The Liu family refused to sell the horse farm, so you threatened that Gu Ye of the Liu family would definitely not pass the imperial examination? Although Yuan Cuo is just an ordinary scholar, he has a deep connection with Master Zhuang. You really shouldn't have said that!"

Liang Ye was stunned and speechless. How could buying a horse farm be related to the imperial examination?

He panicked and immediately knelt down before Qin Muyan. "I swear to God, I never said that! I didn't want to buy the Liu family's horse farm in the first place. If it weren't for the pressure from the Ministry of War's Golden Feather Guard and the Court of Imperial Stud, why would I waste so much money for no reason!"

“You keep saying it’s nothing, but rumors are circulating outside that are quite detailed, and even Chen Zhongyao mentioned it in court today.”

Qin Muyan was furious because of Chen Zhongyao.

Even his own father was afraid of this ancestor, how could he dare to provoke him?!

Furthermore, with the Right Chancellor and members of the Lu and Ye families involved in the horse farm, Liang Ye's ostentatious purchase of horses was clearly a slap in the face to these ancestors!

Thinking of the looks in the eyes of the Right Chancellor, Vice Minister Lu, and Vice Minister Ye of the Ministry of Justice today, Qin Muyan felt a chill run from her heels to her heart.

Just because of a few horses, he offended a whole group of people? He wanted to drag Liang Ye over and tear him apart right then and there!

"What should we do? I'm not buying it anymore. I'll go to the Liu family myself to clarify the facts!" Liang Ye thought it was just a matter of paying money to avoid trouble, but he didn't expect that paying money would cause more trouble!

"Who would believe me if I explained now? Why did you go and provoke the Liu family's horse farm? Is it because I didn't help you earn enough money, or are you afraid that I and the Imperial Concubine are living too comfortably, so you deliberately caused trouble for us?!" Qin Muyan was so angry that she coughed incessantly.

Liang Ye felt like he was covered in bedbugs, and no matter how much he washed, he couldn't get rid of them. Because no one believed him, he wanted to beat that old bastard Bai Shuncai to death!

"It was that old man who caused trouble for the Liu family, and the person he entrusted was Wei Gongming! I thought he had already told His Highness about this, so I didn't stop it after I found out..."

Liang Ye instantly found a scapegoat; at least someone would share the responsibility with him, because he absolutely didn't want to take it all on himself!

Qin Muyan hissed in shock. He felt that Wei Gongming had been unusually quiet lately.

"I don't care what's going on with you. Go and tell him that this matter must be clarified before the Empress Dowager's birthday! Otherwise, he can forget about getting married on the second day of the second month next year, which is his death anniversary!"

"And you, from now on, keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself! Don't think that just because you have the surname Liang, you can do whatever you want in the capital. All the merits I have accumulated have been ruined by your Liang family. If there is a next time, I will uphold justice and even kill my own relatives!"

……

Qin Muyan cursed until she couldn't speak anymore, and Liang Ye hurriedly left.

He didn't dare go home; instead, he went directly to deliver a message to Wei Gongming.

Wei Gongming originally planned to release the person in ten days, but he did not expect that the one thousand taels of silver would cause so much trouble and even anger the Third Prince.

"Did the people you sent really threaten the Liu family with the imperial examination?" He was skeptical.

Even if the Liang family is powerful, they know their own limitations. Why would they send such a brainless person to take over the Liu family's horse farm?

"Is there any point in asking these questions now?" Liang Ye looked down on Wei Gongming, especially since his tone was questioning!

"This matter is probably not that simple. There are members of the Liu family taking advantage of the situation, which has put us in a passive position!" Wei Gongming realized the key point.

Now that rumors are circulating that the Third Prince interfered with the imperial examinations, if Yuan Cuo fails the exams, it will be assumed that the Third Prince sabotaged them!

His future father-in-law is the examiner. Li Shu will marry him and break off her best friend relationship with Liu Yuechu. Even if Yuan Cuo makes up a story to answer the questions, he will probably still be blamed.

Liang Ye didn't care what he was thinking. "We must find out about Liu Chen's matter. If we can't find out, we must find a scapegoat! That old bastard Bai Shuncai is asking for death. If he doesn't die, I'll be so angry that I'll die. We absolutely can't let him live!" He would contact Bai Shuncai's biological son later. If he didn't kill his father, the entire Bai family would be kicked out of the capital!

Three days later, Liu Chen was not only not released, but was also falsely accused.

Wei Gongming found a jailer to be a scapegoat. It was this jailer who had taken money from the Tao family and conspired with Liu Chen to stage this scam, all to get Liu Yuechu to give up her shares in the Liu family's horse farm and trading company.

The Tao family never expected such a terrible disaster to befall them, and that the punishment would be so severe.

They were acting on Bai Shuncai's orders and had taken money. They weren't entirely innocent, and since they didn't have any powerful backers in the capital, they had no choice but to pay to save their lives...

Once the charges were handed down, Bai Shuncai was no longer a suspect.

The Bai family is willing to pay a fine of 10,000 taels of silver, only asking that Bai Shuncai not be sentenced to exile, but instead be confined to his home to reflect on his actions.

The Tao family was expelled from the capital. The eldest son was stripped of his position as registrar and his family was barred from taking the imperial examinations for three generations. Liu Chen was sentenced to exile and fined five thousand taels of silver.

When the constables went to Liu Chen's residence to collect the silver, Liu Yuechu's fourth aunt discovered that Liu Chen had already embezzled all the money, and the fact that she had been cheated out of supporting an actor was exposed...

Fourth Aunt cried and demanded a divorce, and Liu Yueliu wished she could kill her own father.

The four families are in chaos, and people are pointing fingers at them. They actually conspired with outsiders to swindle money from their own niece? It would be too lenient if they didn't chop off their heads!

Liu Muchi recounted the story to Liu Yuechu and Yuan Cuo with great relish.

He tried to suppress his laughter as he followed the rules, but he couldn't help it; he was thoroughly enjoying himself.

The Liu family has been completely exonerated, and the horse farm can now operate as usual.

To celebrate, Liu Musheng treated the three纨绔 (playboy) brothers to a big meal.

However, Yuan Cuo believed that the horse racing betting should not continue, saying, "...you have all won enough to cover the expenses for the second half of the year. Everything should be done in moderation, and we can't play anymore."

The lavish meal was held at the Liu family residence without any fanfare. Jingchunlou provided two tables, and Liu Yuechu also invited Lin Mengyu and Huang Wanwan, as the two were also eager to hear more gossip.

Pei Chun, who had recently won comfortably, was a little unhappy. "You're just a coward. If it really doesn't work out, then you two should just quit running the horse farm and hand it over to us. We'll handle any trouble that arises, and you two can just wait to split the money."

“I think so too. Running that horse farm is exhausting and tiring, and the plan is indeed ambitious, making it too difficult to achieve the goals,” Lu Bingyang echoed.

He has recently made a fortune and is finally becoming wealthy. How could he bear to let his earnings disappear like this?

“I think the horse racing track is better. Money won from gambling always makes me uneasy,” Liu Musheng rarely retorted, after all, he had never been short of money.

Moreover, the horse farm was closed during this period, and he felt very empty with nothing to do.

Even when he went to bet on horse races, he was no longer as excited as before.

Moreover, he always remembered Yuan Cuo's words and imagined the glorious moment after it was accomplished.

Huang Wanwan was surprised; she hadn't expected him to say that.
