Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 193 Suicide

The sun shines brightly under a clear blue sky.

It was supposed to be a fine day, but alas, someone was weeping at the door.

The gatekeeper tried to chase the man away after hearing this, but Gao Hechuan held a knife to his neck, threatening to kill anyone from the Liu family who came near.

The gatekeeper was also frightened, not knowing what was going on. He hurriedly went into the mansion to find Uncle Chun. Uncle Chun sensed that things were probably not simple, so he went directly to find Granny Fang.

Granny Fang told Liu Yuechu, "This matter is probably not that simple. It may be something that was caused by that person in the palace."

Liu Yuechu had been waiting since leaving the palace on the second day of the second lunar month, but she never expected that Princess Fuyao would actually make a move against Yuan Cuo's government office.

"Ignore it, let him keep making a scene." Liu Yuechu said calmly.

Granny Fang was surprised. "What time is it? You still don't take it seriously?"

“What could I say if I went? Just listen to him curse me? Since I know it’s a trap, why should I jump in?” Liu Yuechu also knew that this was impossible, so she had no worries. “These kinds of things should be handled by men. There’s no need for women to hysterically fight over them.”

Although Granny Fang knew that Liu Yuechu acted without restraint because she was rich, money was nothing in the face of power.

This is, after all, the land of the Great Qi, and the one who snatched the woman was the daughter of the Great Qi emperor.

"I'm just worried that they're not just after you, Yue Niang, but that they want to kill you too," said Granny Fang, expressing her concerns.

This is not because she is overly worried or exaggerating.

Liu Yuechu thought it over carefully, "Since it's an adventure anyway, why not make a big fuss?"

"Making a scene?" Granny Fang was confused.

"Even beggars complain about the food being spoiled. Shouldn't we punish them? Otherwise, if we send one away today, another one will come tomorrow. Our Liu family is kind, but we are not fat meat to be chewed up." Liu Yuechu was kidnapped and suffered terribly in her previous life, so she gets angry whenever she hears similar accusations in this life.

Granny Fang also thought it over carefully, "Since Yue Niang isn't afraid, then let her make a scene to the death. But you might suffer some injustice, after all, we don't know what other tricks the person behind the scenes has up their sleeve."

"Then let them use it all, and I'll gamble my future too." Liu Yuechu said she was gambling, but she already knew she was going to win.

Granny Fang received the news and went out to meet Gao Hechuan.

Upon hearing that the Liu family was shirking their responsibilities, Gao Hechuan was immediately enraged.

“If she hadn’t kicked my mother and me out, how could my mother have frozen to death? She knew our salaries weren’t enough to cover the rent, yet she still charged such a high price.”

“It’s one thing for other families to live off their houses, but does the Liu family really lack that little bit of money?! This woman is a hypocritical and wicked woman, forcing Lord Yuan to abandon his important duties in court and go out to play with her!”

Gao Hechuan knelt before his mother's coffin, refusing to leave, sobbing bitterly, "My poor mother, she was supposed to come to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury with me. But I never expected her to die such a tragic death! It's all because her son is unfilial, how can her son have the face to attend your funeral..."

He cried and sobbed, insisting that Liu Yuechu was the murderer. "I, Gao Hechuan, am the 112th in this year's autumn imperial examination. I am not an ordinary, hardworking commoner. I want to accuse this woman of murdering my own mother. The county government must take this case, or I will take it to the palace!"

Gao Hechuan had a lot of words he could say, but he couldn't use them at all.

Because those were used when confronting Liu Yuechu.

But Liu Yuechu didn't show her face at all, only sending a nanny. He didn't expect the Liu family to be so indifferent, which was really intriguing!

"If you want to go to the yamen to file a complaint, the Liu family is ready to accompany you at any time. I also hope you understand that the Liu family's act of magnanimity in providing you with food and drink before was not something we should do."

"If your salary is too low to support your mother, you should think that you are not capable enough to earn more money, and you can't blame your master."

"Even a stray dog, after eating a steamed bun, will wag its tail twice instead of biting the person who brought it food." Granny Fang's words were sharp.

Since she was already ready to tear off all pretense and disregard all decorum, she had nothing left to hide.

Gao Hechuan, his face flushed red from being insulted, cried out, "What did you say? Say it again! You old lackey, how dare you call a court official a dog?!"

"Calling you a dog is too kind of you; you're worse than a pig or a dog. If you have the guts, go to the county government and sue me. I'm not afraid to take you to court and have a proper discussion!" Granny Fang directly intervened, deliberately shifting the blame.

Gao Hechuan looked at the pointing fingers and whispers around him, never expecting this to happen. How could he possibly compete with a palace maid in an argument? And the situation was getting increasingly out of control.

"I'm not talking to you. Tell Liu Yuechu to come out!"

"You are not worthy of our master's presence!"

"I really feel sorry for Lord Yuan!" Gao Hechuan, not wanting to be led astray any longer, could only suddenly utter this cry.

He knew things had reached a point where they couldn't be resolved, so he had no choice but to resort to his last trump card.

"I've lived an upright life and worked diligently. All I want is for her to kowtow to my mother and say sorry!" Gao Hechuan sobbed uncontrollably, brandishing the knife in his hand. "Can't even this one request be granted?!"

“Our master is not wrong, you should leave quickly.” Granny Fang could also see that Gao Hechuan was a coward, but who could be ordering such a person?

Before Granny Fang could even finish her thought, Gao Hechuan suddenly raised his knife and slit his own throat!

The splattering of blood was so glaring that it terrified the onlookers, who screamed in horror!

Nobody expected him to actually commit suicide just to see Liu Yuechu! Has he gone mad?!

Granny Fang was also startled, and she quickly sent someone to fetch a doctor!

Gao Hechuan looked at that face in the crowd on the street and waved his hand repeatedly.

The man told him that someone would come to his rescue immediately after he used the knife, to ensure his life would not be in danger!

Moreover, that person promised to bring him under the Third Prince's command and help him rise through the ranks. They even showed him five hundred taels of silver after the deed was done, all he had to do was stage a scene at the Liu family's gate!

Actually, his mother didn't freeze to death; she fell to her death.

He was literally thrown to his death by the person in front of him, who then threatened him that if he didn't agree, he would be next to die.

So Gao and Chuan were scared.

With the promise of a bright future, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and pledge his loyalty.

He knew that this action would be unfair to his mother and to Lord Yuan for his cultivation, so he could only vent all his resentment on Liu Yuechu!

If this woman hadn't suddenly kicked him out of the house and stopped providing him with food and lodging, he wouldn't be in this situation. The one who started it all was Liu Yuechu!

But even after he stretched out his hand for a long time, that person didn't send anyone to help.

Gao Hechuan was shocked; he felt he had been deceived!

But it was too late for him to remember this. He collapsed to the ground with a thud and couldn't move at all.

The bustling noise and screams rose and fell.

The constables also timed their appearance precisely.

"Madam Liu, you absolutely must come with us. This Lord Gao is a man of high rank and cannot be dealt with casually. We are in a difficult position!"
