Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 146 Sick

Liu Yuechu had never been so angry before, especially not at the people around her. She had always been kind and tolerant towards those around her, and even somewhat protective of her own.

Today was an exception, and they even received a white peony root injection.

Bai Shao covered her face, staring at her in utter shock!

"I was only thinking of my master, how could you hit me?" She was filled with grievance, and tears streamed down her face.

Liu Yuechu looked at everyone who was looking at her, and it was clear that many people thought the same thing.

She sneered, her voice sharp and menacing, "For my own good? What makes you think doing this is for my own good? You know what I want, and that makes you think it's for my own good?!"

“Since we got married, you have never treated Yuan Cuo as your master. You always think he is just an ordinary scholar and not good enough for me. You make sarcastic remarks all the time, and he never gets angry. Just because he has a good temper doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want!”

"You're urging me to divorce you just because you're afraid of involving the Liu family and making your comfortable days vanish in the blink of an eye, leaving you unable to continue living together?"

"I'm making this clear today: I will never divorce my son-in-law. Even if the court punishes me, I will live and die with him. If you're afraid of being implicated, get out of the Liu family now. Let's go our separate ways. I'll return the indenture to you directly."

"But if you don't leave, then stay with me and wait to die. If I find anyone who speaks ill of me behind my back, beat them to death with sticks. I will show no mercy."

After saying this, Liu Yuechu turned and went back into the house.

The servants in the mansion immediately bit their tongues and quietly went about their tasks.

Bai Shao remained kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

She got up from the ground, wanting to rush into the house to apologize to Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu's single word "Get out!" silenced her again, and Granny Fang could only wave her hand, instructing Liu Fujia to take her away first.

Huajiao shook his head when he saw Bai Shao. Everyone could see the master's feelings for the son-in-law, so why did he have to be so confused at this moment?

She didn't dare to offer any advice, knowing that her words carried no weight, so she could only let Granny Fang go in alone.

Granny Fang went into the inner room, where Liu Yuechu was gushing tea into her mouth, but the sadness in her heart could not be dispelled even by the cold tea.

Granny Fang poured out the cold tea and replaced it with hot tea. "Don't get angry over a few words from a maid. Getting angry is bad for your health."

"I wouldn't say I'm particularly heartbroken, I just hate kicking someone when they're down. No matter how well he does or how gentle he is, the moment he gets into trouble, everyone's first instinct is to distance themselves from him and distance themselves from him, all while claiming it's for my own good?"

“If he were royalty or a high-ranking official, I don’t believe anyone would dare to say such things.”

All virtues and good character cannot compare to status and position. Liu Yuechu recalled how much she had done for the Zhenning Marquis's mansion in her previous life, yet she was still criticized for being useless and only having a little money.

Granny Fang took her little hand and patted it lightly twice. "It's good for them to have a good tantrum. Let them know what etiquette and hierarchy are. They must always have a sense of boundaries. Actually, I'll only feel at ease if you can have a good tantrum."

Before leaving, Princess Chen was worried that Liu Yuechu would be bullied.

Aside from some changes in the past six months, she has always been coerced by the Liu family into doing this and that.

Liu Yuechu nestled in Granny Fang's arms, "I don't want to think about anything right now, I just hope he'll be safe and sound."

"Didn't the eldest young master tell you to calm down and not to act rashly? I'm sure the young master will be alright." The eldest young master the nanny was referring to was Chen Zhongyao.

Liu Yuechu was very grateful to Chen Zhongyao.

If he hadn't gone to the Liu family on his first day after court, there would probably have been many other families coming to cause trouble, and she wouldn't have been able to have such a peaceful time.

In fact, when he came that day, he ate a meal and drank tea at the Liu family's house, and only talked about palace matters for a few minutes. There was no need for him to stay for two hours.

"Let's take this opportunity to clean up the people in the manor again. Anyone with selfish motives should be asked to leave. The bigger our business grows, the more eyes there will be in the manor. It's better to have fewer people than to have a mixed group."

Otherwise, there's a high probability that they would betray the Liu family for a little personal gain.

Granny Fang nodded. "What do you plan to do with Bai Shao?" She was Liu Yuechu's maid since childhood, and many people had witnessed what happened today.

Liu Yuechu said calmly, "She made a mistake once before, and you gave her a chance. She chose to stay by my side and will definitely change." Since she hasn't changed this time and doesn't treat Yuan Cuo as her master, then I can only give her another way: find someone to marry into.

Knowing what was going on, Granny Fang called Huajiao to accompany her and then went out to tidy up the mansion.

The bandages on Huajiao's face had been removed, and the wounds were healing quickly as they were able to breathe. However, her face was covered in scars, and it would take some time for them to scab over and heal. So she covered her face with a veil, which she removed once she entered the house.

The master and servant sat side by side on the bed, and Huajiao didn't mention anything about what was happening outside.

Liu Yuechu recalled the husband that Yuan Cuo had chosen for her before, "...If you think it's suitable, I'll ask Uncle Chun to come and make arrangements. You're not young anymore, and I can't keep you around all the time."

Huajiao recalled the heartache on Liu Muchi's face when he carried her that day, and paused for a moment before saying, "This servant will listen to my master. I will marry whoever you want me to marry, as long as I don't leave your side, I'll do whatever you say."

Perhaps it was just the Third Young Master's kind heart, his pity for her being a woman. Whether it was her or not, he would have done the same…

Liu Yuechu, however, did not see the fleeting sadness in Huajiao's eyes. "Even if you get married, you don't have to stay by my side to serve me. Uncle Chun's family already has quite a few small businesses. Being a boss's wife wouldn't be bad."

"Then I won't marry you. Anyway, I won't leave you." Huajiao's attitude was firm.

Liu Yuechu smiled knowingly and patted her small hand. "Actually, you also hoped that I would get a divorce to get rid of the trouble? You just didn't say it?"

Huajiao shook her head. "This servant is just a little resentful that the young master didn't explain things clearly to you, keeping everything to himself."

“We’re already husband and wife, family, what’s there to hide? This sudden outburst has scared everyone, it really shouldn’t have happened,” she said with utmost sincerity.

Liu Yuechu could understand Huajiao's resentment.

She carefully considered the story Yuan Cuo had told her, and her answer was pretty much the same.

If things are really as she guessed, it's no wonder he wouldn't explain things clearly.

That would be like a fool talking nonsense, and people would laugh at him for being crazy.

"Master, there is a letter for you." Uncle Chun quietly entered, clearly indicating that this letter was quite unusual.

Liu Yuechu jumped up with a start and hurriedly went to check.

Seeing the envelope, she was somewhat disappointed. She had thought it was a letter that Yuan Cuo had managed to send, but it turned out to be from Yuwen Chan.

She slowly opened the letter, and her eyes widened instantly.

"Is he sick? Is he insane?!"
