Remarrying Chun Yuan

After finishing his sentence, Yuan Cuo leisurely walked away with his hands behind his back. He still had to go to the front street to buy Liu Yuechu her favorite braised pork ribs.

Feng Ling was surprised that Yuan Cuo would kick him out so easily.

His fists clenched tightly, feeling a deep sense of shame.

"If a superior is so cowardly, greedy, or even blind to talent, it's better not to follow such a person."

He spoke with a hint of defiance, and his colleagues stepped forward to advise him, "What the sir said is not wrong. Gao Hechuan really went mad in this matter. Even if you resent Lady Liu, think about it carefully, this matter really has nothing to do with Lady Liu. It was Gao Hechuan who brought it upon himself."

Feng Ling retorted indignantly, "We both come from humble backgrounds. Don't we feel resentful being bossed around by a woman?"

"So what if I feel sorry for you? I shouldn't have interfered in your family affairs in the first place. Otherwise, Madam Liu wouldn't have driven us all away."

"We should learn from Gao Hechuan's story. He's already passed away, so don't think about it too much."

……

Everyone had just heard Yuan Cuo's words. This was the first time the adults had had such a sharp conversation with them.

"Alright, alright, let's all disperse!"

As soon as one person spoke, the others immediately left to go back to their work.

Feng Ling still felt sorry for Gao Hechuan. That night, he drank in a small tavern and couldn't help but make a lot of noise, cursing Liu Yuechu for being vicious and Yuan Cuo for being afraid of his wife. He also lacked the firmness of a scholar's integrity.

There are plenty of busybodies out there, so we immediately invited him for a drink and asked him to say a few more words.

Feng Ling was already completely drunk and had no memory of what was happening. After being provoked like this, he cursed even more fiercely!

in the corner.

A man listened intently as Feng Ling angrily berated Liu Yuechu. He approached her, probed for a while, and then led Feng Ling to the county government office.

“Bringing something like this to the county magistrate, are you too idle?” Wei Gongming was very dissatisfied.

Wang Quan'an said with a grin, "Hasn't my lord always wanted to find someone to be close to Yuan Cuo? I think he's perfect."

Wang Quan'an recounted to Wei Gongming in detail the things he had said to Liu Yuechu and Yuan Cuo in the tavern, saying, "He is a good helper."

Wei Gongming looked at Feng Ling, particularly disliking the smell of alcohol on him. "Take him to wash up first. This county hates dirty people the most."

Wang Quan'an immediately found two constables to help him sober up.

Just then, Li Shu came in from outside; she had come specifically to bring Wei Gongming food.

Because of the Empress Dowager's passing, her marriage to Wei Gongming was hastily arranged.

Moreover, she was genuinely unhappy after getting married because Tian Yage constantly boasted in front of her that she had given birth to Wei Gongming's eldest son by a concubine.

Whenever she wanted to scold Tian Yayun, Guan would step in and reprimand her, telling her to be more magnanimous and not to be jealous of a concubine.

Li Shu was extremely angry, as if there were two toads crawling on her feet, making her feel disgusted and unable to endure it for even a moment longer.

But she didn't want people to laugh at her, so she always told others that she was doing very well.

She would visit Wei Gongming at the county government office every few days, offering him food and care.

Wei Gongming was extremely annoyed, but thinking of Vice Minister Li, he could only endure it.

"Who was that just now?" Li Shu heard her muttering and cursing, calling her a "bitch," and the words were unclear, sounding like they came from the Liu family.

Wei Gongming didn't reply. "Not busy again today?"

“No matter how busy you are, you must put your husband’s affairs first… You haven’t been home for many days, and Mother has been nagging you every day.” Li Shu, unlike her usual harsh manner in the manor, spoke gently to Wei Gongming.

Wei Gongming looked at her, but still didn't like her because she was too plain-looking.

But since they were already husband and wife, he still had to maintain a certain level of decorum in front of outsiders. "The county government has been too busy lately, and I really haven't had time to go back. You can explain to your mother."

“I know my husband is busy, but I could move to the county government office to keep him company and take care of him.” Li Shu had always had this plan.

She really didn't want to see Guan Shi's sour face at the Zhenning Marquis's residence, and she didn't know how much longer she could endure it. She came here specifically to bring up this matter with Wei Gongming.

Wei Gongming immediately refused, "No need. The reason I'm not going home is because I'm busy with official business, and I don't need you to take care of me."

This is his private space, which he will not allow anyone to encroach upon.

Li Shu still refused to give up, saying, "I won't bother my husband, really."

"The soup is good today, thank you for your hard work, my wife." Wei Gongming changed the subject and stopped talking about it with her.

After taking a couple of sips of soup, Wei Gongming used official business as an excuse to tell Li Shu to go back first.

Li Shu had no choice but to leave. "I'll wait for my husband to come home tonight," she said countless times, but Wei Gongming seemed not to hear her.

Li Shu walked to the door, just as Wang Quan'an brought in Feng Ling, who had sobered up.

Feng Ling already knew where he was and who he had been brought to see.

"Didn't you just call Liu Yuechu a slut? Why don't you repeat that in front of the adults?" Wang Quan'an said gloatingly.

But Li Shu, who was standing at the door, overheard his words.

She went back to the doorway and listened to Wei Gongming ask Feng Ling his question.

She was furious, her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white. Even at this point, how could he still have Liu Yuechu in his heart? What did she, his legal wife, mean to him?!

Not wanting to keep eavesdropping, she went to wait at the door.

Li Shu only appeared when Wang Quan'an left with Feng Ling. "I also have something to ask you. Manager Wang, please take him to Jingchun Tower first. I'll be there shortly."

Li Shu was deliberately avoiding Liu Yuechu, but even hearing that name still evoked her dislike. She was eager to know what Wei Gongming had asked and how he had answered.

Wang Quan'an didn't expect Li Shu to interfere.

“Madam, this person is someone I invited to speak with my master about something; there is no romantic connection between us.” He understood, of course, why Li Shu had stopped the man.

"Can't I even listen if I want to?" Li Shu didn't give Wang Quan'an a friendly look.

Although Wang Quan'an was a scholar, Li Shu felt that he was not respectable enough and had a lewd look in his eyes. He looked at everything improperly, which was a disgrace to the culture.

Moreover, this person was in cahoots with Tian Yage. Although Li Shu hadn't caught him red-handed, she understood the situation perfectly well.

Wang Quan'an nodded with a forced smile, "This man isn't one of the lord's men either, he's one of Yuan Cuo's subordinates... Besides, the lord has other plans for him, so Madam shouldn't cause trouble at this time." Wang Quan'an deliberately stepped forward and whispered.

Li Shu was naturally dissatisfied. "I don't care what he does, why did he scold Liu Yuechu?" She looked directly at Feng Ling. "If you have any grievances, you might as well tell me. If I can help, I am happy to help others."

Feng Ling stood there dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that he had only taken two sips of wine.

How could it have caused so much trouble?
