Remarrying Chun Yuan

"Propose marriage? What does that have to do with me? It's not like I'm the one proposing marriage, so how would I know?" Liu Musheng looked completely innocent.

Liu Yuechu was quite surprised, "Is Lu Bingyang truly infatuated or has he gone mad, fixated on Yu Jie'er and refusing to let go?"

"That's right. I went to see her today and saw the Lu family going to propose marriage, carrying the betrothal gifts in one load after another. I wanted to talk to her, but the mansion was busy, and Madam Lin directly chased me away!" Huang Wanwan went straight to Guiyue Tower after leaving the Lin family.

Liu Yuechu also looked at Liu Musheng, "None of you know?"

"I don't know, I absolutely don't know. Just now, Young Master Pei was wondering why Lu Bingyang didn't come today, he didn't even say hello. Ye Zinan didn't know either." Liu Musheng shook his head like a rattle drum.

"What is he up to? This isn't a marriage proposal, it's clearly a bride-stealing attempt." Liu Yuechu thought of Lu Bingyang that day. He did have a certain amount of courage and responsibility, but only a few days had passed, and he was already coming to propose marriage. Anyone in Lin Mengyu's shoes would feel threatened.

"Granny, why don't you go and take a look?"

The Lin family is a family of civil officials, and they certainly cannot tolerate the Lu family's crudeness. If Madam Lin does not want to start a dispute, she might not be able to catch her breath and die of anger.

Granny Fang nodded, intending to take Liu Tao there.

Before they could even leave, Lin Mengjun's page rushed over and said, "Young Master said you don't need to worry. Our master has agreed to the Lu family's marriage proposal. You masters can just wait to drink the wedding wine."

Lin Mengjun knew that Huang Wanwan had been driven away, and guessed that she would definitely come to find Liu Yuechu.

He was genuinely afraid that this little tiger sister might do something earth-shattering, so he sent someone to report back as soon as he had the results.

Liu Yuechu was still skeptical. "Did Yu Jie'er agree to marry him?" What good was it if Grand Scholar Guanglin agreed? She cared more about whether her best friend agreed or not.

The page nodded quickly, "Our mistress has agreed, and said that you shouldn't worry, she will come to talk to you in a couple of days."

"Would you call this a sudden stroke of good luck?" Liu Yuechu didn't know how to comment.

After killing Zhang Zhitong that day, Liu Yuechu knew that there would definitely be entanglement between Lu Bingyang and Lin Mengyu.

But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and the Lin family agreed very quickly this time...

Huang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside Liu Musheng to pour her tea. "My throat is so dry from running around..."

Liu Musheng obediently poured the tea, not daring to resist in the slightest.

At this moment, Vice Minister Li came out of the private room, and Liu Yuechu hurriedly went to greet him.

He had already regained his usual composure, and the redness in his eyes had disappeared. "Regarding the two students, we will have them come to pay their respects later. I am just introducing them; there is no obligation for me to accept them."

"If Lord Yuan feels it is inappropriate, then send them away, but we also need the two of you to be willing to give them a chance."

"I'll head back now."

After saying this, Vice Minister Li gave a slight bow, flicked his sleeves, and left, seemingly deliberately keeping his distance from Liu Yuechu and the others.

Liu Yuechu understood that Minister Li also did not want to reveal his son's whereabouts...

After seeing off Vice Minister Li, she returned to the private room. The square box had been neatly packed away, and he hadn't taken a single letter that Li Chengyue had sent back.

At this moment, Yuan Cuo, Wei Tianxuan, and others also came out from the next room. Instead of mentioning Minister Li, the conversation shifted to the marriage between Lu Bingyang and Lin Mengyu.

……

Once October is over, the winter months bring cold winds.

Lin Mengyu arranged the marriage a hundred days later in order to bring him good luck, but Madam Lin did not live to see Lin Mengyu get married and passed away far too soon.

But this was something that had been expected. Although the Lin family was saddened, they were not devastated.

After the three-week memorial service for Madam Lin was completed, Lin Mengyu prepared to get married.

Her mother passed away, and her aunt took over the matter. However, her aunt was just an ordinary woman from a humble household and didn't know much about marriages involving officials.

Liu Yuechu and Huang Wanwan took charge, mobilizing all the nannies, mothers, and wives in the family to ensure the wedding was a grand and successful affair.

Tomorrow is the eighth day of the eleventh lunar month, the day Lin Mengyu will get married.

Liu Yuechu took a nap on the couch in her boudoir, waiting for dawn to begin her preparations.

Lin Mengyu also couldn't sleep all night.

She'd been busy and chattering away these past few days, and now that things had quieted down, she was surprised: "Am I really getting married tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, you've been asking this all day!" Liu Yuechu tilted her head and squinted, having really run out of patience to answer.

Lin Mengyu pouted, "Once I get married, you won't be able to see me so easily anymore. Why can't you spend some time with me now instead of being impatient?"

"Forget it. You can stay at home and be idle, but Lu Bingyang can't stay idle either. Now that you're finally married, he'll definitely bring you out to show off every now and then." Liu Yuechu thought of the Lu family's wife she had met; she was an easy person to get along with.

She was especially excited to learn that her son had married the legitimate daughter of a scholar's family, setting off firecrackers for three days straight. In her eyes, Lu Bingyang's bad reputation meant he'd probably be a bachelor for life...

"Do you know why my father agreed to the marriage with the Lu family so readily?" Lin Mengyu brought up this topic at this moment.

Liu Yuechu raised her almond-shaped eyes; she was indeed very curious.

But Lin Mengyu never said anything, nor did she ask, for fear of bringing up Madam Lin's past. Although she insisted that Zhang Zhitong was talking nonsense, there must have been a thorn in the hearts of the Lin family.

"Say what you want to say, I can pretend I didn't hear it."

Lin Mengyu didn't care whether she could hear him or not, and said directly, "I told my father about what I saw when I was a child, including what Zhang Zhitong said... But do you know what? My father actually knew, he actually knew."

Liu Yuechu: "???" Her drowsiness vanished instantly, not even a little bit.

"Father said that the man had proposed to Mother, but unfortunately, due to the family's misfortune, he was exiled to a remote place and could never return to the capital. It was only because of Mother's marriage to that man that Father came to propose marriage."

"And when that person returned, my mother had spoken to my father about it before she went to see him..."

"But I was too afraid to speak or ask, and I presumptuously protected my mother's reputation for her whole life, almost getting myself into trouble in the process."

After Lin Mengyu finished speaking, she looked at Liu Yuechu and asked, "Do you think I'm very stupid?"

Liu Yuechu stared straight at her, "Does she seem a little dim-witted?" Or perhaps it was just Scholar Lin leaving face for his wife, pretending to know.

Whether it's true or not, Madam Lin has passed away, and the truth is no longer so important...

Lin Mengyu chuckled and moved closer to Liu Yuechu on the couch to sleep together. "When we were little, we slept in the same bed. Before I got married, I still needed you to stay with me."

"Tell me how much silver I have in my secret stash? I'll see if I can finally hold my head high in the Lu family."

"And I don't understand what Granny said today either. You've been through this, so please explain it to me..."
