Remarrying Chun Yuan

When Liu Yuechu returned home, her grandmother, two uncles, and cousins ​​were all there.

They came to spend the Lunar New Year with their grandmother and also wanted to find out about the situation of the eldest son's family.

They thought they had half of the Liu family business under their control, but who could have predicted that there would be no business after the snow disaster? Meanwhile, Liu Yuechu's life is getting better and better. Not only are the rice and general stores making a fortune every day, but the other small shops he invested in are also starting to do booming business!

Liu Chen angrily berated Liu Musheng for being too stupid and Liu Yuechu for being an ingrate who was deliberately trying to make a fool of their two families. However, Liu Musheng had already complained to his grandmother about his two uncles' ruthlessness, so his grandmother just listened indifferently and didn't respond at all.

The two had stirred up trouble in vain, intending to go home once the old lady had gone to rest, but unexpectedly Liu Yuechu returned at that moment.

Seeing Liu Yuechu radiating golden light and exuding an arrogant aura, with a set of auspicious tricolor necklaces around her neck, it would be enough for her family to live on for ten years.

Liu Chen glanced at Liu Muchi and Liu Yuechan following behind her, "If you don't bring your brothers and sisters along, and instead bring two mediocre ones, outsiders will think that the Liu family has no one left."

Liu Muchi and Liu Yuechan remained silent, hiding behind Liu Yuechu. They had never been allowed to eat in the main hall before, and had come with Liu Yuechu today.

Liu Yuechu ignored them and only bowed to her grandmother. "The blizzard has stopped, and business is good at all the shops. My eldest brother is busy choosing a wife and doesn't have time, so I'm teaching them to be helpers. After all, they are my younger brother and sister, and they're much more considerate than those fickle managers."

Liu Chen's face turned awkward. "How dare you say that? Did you poach the Chen brothers? You're stealing from your own fold! You're deliberately trying to embarrass me and your third uncle!"

With those two managers gone, the other managers were also getting restless.

Liu Yuechu liked his angry outburst. "You can't blame me for this. Brother Chen Cheng said that they are both restless people and are too embarrassed to eat for free in the trading company, so they are willing to do rough work in my rice and general store."

With no business in the merchant guild, a first-class manager could only earn two taels of silver per month. Although he was a second-class manager under Liu Yuechu, he earned at least five taels of silver per month and also received generous benefits such as rice, flour, grains, and meat.

Liu Chen was furious and speechless.

Liu Shang feigned kindness and changed the subject, "I heard that Princess Chen intends to choose marriage partners for you and your brother? Is there any news about it today?"

"Marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers. Your grandmother is still sitting here, yet outsiders are deciding on your marriage. It's utterly ridiculous!"

"Your fourth uncle's words were harsh, but they made sense. Although Princess Chen has a high status, she is still an outsider. Besides, how can one not spend New Year's Eve with family and instead go to an outsider's house?"

The two continued to nitpick and find fault, but Liu Yuechu remained as still as water. In her past life, these words had made her feel ashamed and she had gradually distanced herself from Princess Chen. Listening to their endless chatter in this life, she could only wonder if the two of them were truly shameless?

The scene grew increasingly awkward, as if it weren't a celebration of the Lunar New Year but a deliberate argument. The old lady grew impatient, slamming her cane down on the ground, and the commotion gradually subsided.

"What does the princess mean? Today, your fourth uncle also proposed a marriage for your eldest brother. It's a young lady from the prefect's household, and your fourth aunt said she's quite good."

The old lady was more concerned about Liu Musheng, after all, he was the eldest grandson of the eldest branch of the family.

Liu Yuechu said casually, "Why don't you ask my brother tomorrow? He got drunk today because he was in a good mood, so I had Shuangquan take him home to rest."

She didn't get along with her grandmother because the old lady had never liked her mother or her. When her father handed the family over to her, the old lady made a huge scene, which led to her father leaving and never returning. She had only calmed down a bit in the last two years.

However, Fourth Uncle's plan to interfere in the eldest son's marriage is likely to fail. Although Eldest Brother was beaten today, he has seen the peonies at the state banquet and been pricked; how could he possibly care about the weeds at the Prefect's residence now?

Upon hearing that her beloved grandson had stopped sleeping, the old lady lost her appetite for sitting. "In that case, you should all go back first. We'll ask Sheng-ge'er what he thinks tomorrow."

“You are his grandmother, so it’s settled. Why ask him? What does a silly boy like him know?” Liu Chen said, quite displeased.

“What do you know? This is the marriage of the eldest grandson of the Liu family. We must choose carefully and discuss it thoroughly. Moreover, after they get married and start their own businesses, they will jointly take over the family business. When that time comes, they can get married without any problems…” Whenever Liu Musheng was involved, his grandmother was intolerant of any dissent. In addition, she disliked Liu Yuechu taking over the family business, and she said these words to her as well.

Liu Yuechu took the old lady's casual remark as nothing more than a casual remark and didn't take it to heart at all.

Liu Chen was furious, his head throbbing. He had lost in this life because he wasn't the first to leave his mother's womb. If he had been the eldest son of the first branch of the family, everything in the Liu family would have been his.

The old lady took a servant's hand and left the main hall, and Liu Chen also returned home with his family first.

Liu Shang didn't rush to leave, but wanted to ease the tension. "Your eldest brother's marriage is easy to arrange. After all, our Liu family has a good reputation, and there are plenty of girls who want to be the eldest grandson's wife. But what kind of girl do you want to choose? Why don't you tell me? I'll ask your third aunt to help you find one too."

"Yes, yes, your third uncle has been thinking about you and brings it up with me every now and then. In my opinion, don't choose a wealthy or high-class family; life there is too tiring. My cousin's son is actually quite good; he's a scholar, and he's twenty-two this year..."

“We know in our hearts that you used a kite to choose a husband to avoid Zhong Ziqi. Actually, if you’re willing, you can just use a kite to appease her, and your aunt won’t complain.” Third Aunt said this with a smile.

Liu Yuechu watched her quietly without saying a word, which made Third Aunt feel guilty.

Liu Shang rolled his eyes at his wife, "Your cousin's son is twenty-two and only a scholar. How can he be a match for Yuechu? He's not even as sensible as our son!"

"Speaking of your cousin, he's been making quite a name for himself lately. His poem was even read aloud by the instructor, who praised it highly. From now on, whenever you visit the Princess's residence, have him accompany you. At least he can compose a few lines of poetry; it's much more respectable than bringing along two good-for-nothings..."

Liu Yuechan secretly wiped away her tears.

Liu Muchi also lowered his head in shame. The two brothers were born out of wedlock and had a lower status in the household than the servants.

Liu Yuechu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and laughed. "Speaking of which, I do need a shrewd person by my side. Otherwise, I'd have to deal with being bullied when I go out, which would be really tough on me."

She looked at her short, chubby cousin, Liu Mufang, and said, "I've run into some trouble since I got back today. It's a bit tricky. Why don't you help me deal with it?"

"Cousin, just say the word. I know quite a few sons of officials. As long as it's not a matter within the palace, I can definitely help you solve it." Liu Mufang patted his chest and made a grand promise. He wanted to use Liu Yuechu's connection to get close to Princess Chen and have her introduce him to the Imperial Academy.

A sly glint flashed across Liu Yuechu's face. "If I smash up the carriage of the young master of the Right Chancellor's mansion, and you step in, will I not have to pay a single copper coin in compensation?"
