Remarrying Chun Yuan

Liu Yuechu considered it for a moment, then shook her head. "Perhaps His Majesty is dissatisfied with the strong support from the Imperial Academy and Elder Zhuang, which is why he has given us some difficult questions?" This matter should be kept secret, otherwise it would not be a good thing for Chen Zhongyao.

“I’m referring to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager’s excessive attention to him. No one has ever made His Majesty break two precedents in a row,” Chen Zhongyao reiterated in greater detail.

Liu Yuechu continued to deny it, "I don't think he's been given any special consideration. His father was also a director in the Ministry of Works ten years ago. After his accidental death, the government hasn't found anything out, and it's just been left unresolved. Anyone with a conscience should have given him a more important position." Liu Yuechu didn't understand the rules of the court, but in her opinion, was this what they called being given special consideration?

He's clearly his own son, but he's been away from home for over twenty years. Now that he wants him back, he even wants to find him a different wife. He's extremely possessive.

Chen Zhongyao didn't press further, but he still felt there were some things he didn't understand. "My intuition is always very accurate. There must be a reason for this. Pay close attention and don't think of yourself as a fool."

Liu Yuechu could only nod in agreement. She still felt guilty for deceiving Chen Zhongyao. "Don't worry, I will definitely be careful. Thank you so much for standing up for me today, brother..."

As the two were talking, a small, thin figure ran up to Granny Fang and whispered a few words in her ear.

Granny Fang's expression changed drastically, and she immediately went to Liu Yuechu's side. "Miss Lin was blocked on her way home from Guiyue Tower by that beast from the Zhang family. Tao Ge'er's friends saw it and immediately came to deliver the message. They're still blocking her in the alley."

Liu Yuechu was instantly shocked, "Has Zhang Zhitong gone mad? He actually stopped us on the street?!"

"He has nothing left now, so he doesn't know anything about dignity anymore. He's trying to force Miss Lin to marry him!" Granny Fang was furious.

"Let's go, we have to go right now!" Liu Yuechu didn't have time to talk to Chen Zhongyao anymore.

Chen Zhongyao was also very worried. "Should we inform Grand Secretary Lin? Or should I go and check on him first?"

"No, absolutely not, and you can't go with me either. If Grand Scholar Lin finds out, he'll definitely make sure his daughter marries Zhang Zhitong. And Zhang Zhitong has become a mad dog; if you go, you'll definitely get bitten too. I'll go instead!"

Liu Yuechu didn't want to involve Chen Zhongyao, so she didn't care about anything else and ran straight to the carriage, saying as she walked, "Don't worry, I'll have Suozi come and help. Everything will be fine. Once it's all taken care of, I'll have Liu Tao come and let you know!"

She jumped into the carriage and had Liu Tao lead the way, not wanting to waste a single minute.

Chen Zhongyao was still worried and ordered his attendant to go and check on him.

Liu Yuechu rushed all the way to Huainan Lane, where Zhang Zhitong and his men had already cornered Lin Mengyu in the middle of the lane and were gradually closing in. Lin Mengyu was only protected by Chun Ya, the coachman, and a few beggar children.

Zhang Zhitong had clearly lost patience. His period of despondency had made him fully understand what it meant to be forgotten once someone leaves.

His former drinking buddies sneered at him, treating him like a beggar on the street, and even the girls who used to surround him gradually drifted away.

Even Zhang's relatives treated him like a useless tool and threw him aside, even refusing to let him participate in several family meetings.

It was as if he had suddenly fallen from the highest clouds into the abyss. Looking in the mirror, he realized that he was nothing more than a pawn of the family, not the immortal being in the eyes of outsiders.

Zhang Zhitong drowned his sorrows in alcohol, getting drunk every day. But now even the tavern won't let him keep track of his expenses, and he's completely gone mad!

He had to regain his dignity and couldn't let himself be defeated. The only way was to marry Lin Mengyu and become the son-in-law of the Lin family. He didn't believe that his father-in-law, the Grand Secretary, would abandon him!

However, he mentioned to his parents that he had been rejected because the Lin family had already sent a letter announcing the annulment of the engagement.

Zhang Zhitong was indignant and prepared to force himself on her.

If Lin Mengyu dares to disagree, he will expose Madam Lin's shameful past!

Lin Mengyu was trembling all over; she never expected to meet Zhang Zhitong.

Zhang Zhitong originally intended to send people to abduct her, but Liu Tao suddenly appeared and brought several beggars to surround and protect her.

Although they were all children, they were armed with sticks and knives. These wild kids would fight tooth and nail over a steamed bun. If they really got serious, Zhang Zhitong's entourage might not be able to beat them.

Besides, they didn't really want to fight; they just came to make up the numbers because they couldn't shake off their master's coercion.

Zhang Zhitong also realized that those lackeys were useless, so he could only threaten Lin Mengyu to agree as soon as possible, "...I've given you enough time, don't you understand yet? If what happened back then gets out, not only will your mother's reputation be ruined, but I'm afraid no one will dare to marry you again!"

Chun Ya was already trembling with fear. She now understood why Lin Mengyu had been compromising with Zhang Zhitong all along. "You're talking nonsense. Our girl will never marry you. If you don't leave now, the officials will arrive later and you will all be arrested!"

"Officials? Ha, you ask her if she dares to report to the authorities? If she dares to report to the authorities, I dare to tell the whole town about Madam Lin's shameful deeds from back then!"

"That's your own aunt!"

"My own mother is useless. I'm about to get married and have children. I want her to kneel down and beg me!"

Zhang Zhitong looked at Lin Mengyu and said, "I'll count to three now. If you don't agree to come with me immediately, I'll tell you what happened to your mother back then!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Even if you told me, I wouldn't agree, and I don't believe it at all. Don't try to fool me; it's all made up!" Lin Mengyu completely broke down. She only hated herself for not being capable enough; otherwise, she really wanted to rush up and kill Zhang Zhitong!

Zhang Zhitong pressed her further, saying, "Just tell me, are you going to marry me or not!"

"No!" Lin Mengyu roared.

"Then I'll have to say it!"

"you shut up!"

"Madam Lin keeps talking about propriety and etiquette, but she's been secretly meeting with her childhood sweetheart behind your father's back. And twice she used going to the temple to burn incense as an excuse, right under your nose!"

"How can such a morally deficient woman be worthy of being the wife of a Grand Secretary?!"

"And the daughter she raised must not be any better!"

……

Zhang Zhitong screamed, and his voice eventually exploded!

Lin Mengyu rolled her eyes, stared blankly for a few seconds, and then collapsed and fainted!

"Go! Take her away!" Seeing that Chun Ya and the others were somewhat flustered, Zhang Zhitong wanted to press his advantage!

Just as the Zhang family servants were about to make their move, Liu Yuechu arrived!

She heard Zhang Zhitong's shouts as soon as she got off the carriage, and she also clearly heard Madam Lin's scandalous affair!
