Remarrying Chun Yuan

He ran into Liu Yuechu at the door of Yuancuo's house that day. When he got home, he mentioned the incident, and Lin Mengyu told his brother about Liu Yuechu's evaluation.

Lin Mengjun was so disturbed by that high praise that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

He had known Liu Yuechu for a long time, but she had never praised him like this before...

Liu Yuechu never expected that after not seeing him for so many days, he would ask about this matter.

Is this matter that important?

Lin Mengjun nodded with great certainty.

This is not only about how much information he "stole" from the library for Yuan Cuo with his eyes, but also about how much weight Yuan Cuo holds in Liu Yuechu's heart.

"I dreamt that he had a bright future, so I'm willing to lend him a hand." She couldn't very well say that Yuan Cuo was a hero of the Great Qi in her past life, could she? Otherwise, she'd be mistaken for a monster and captured.

Lin Mengjun could easily tell it was a perfunctory response; he thought, "Nonsense."

“I also dreamed that Brother Lin would have a happy marriage and a harmonious life, and that he would have three nephews, all of whom would be successful.” Liu Yuechu was not joking.

In his previous life, Lin Mengjun married the eldest daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief's family and did not take any concubines. His wife gave birth to three sons, all of whom were very outstanding. However, he longed for a daughter and was never able to have one.

Lin Mengjun was so embarrassed that his ears turned red. He took it as Liu Yuechu's subtle rejection.

"Any thing else?"

The maids and servants who had seen the guests off were still waiting. Madam Lin had never wanted the two to have much contact, and Liu Yuechu had already sensed that the eyes around her were not looking at her properly.

Lin Mengjun pursed his lips and could only see Liu Yuechu off.

After the old women saw the guests off, they reported back to Madam Lin, who sighed helplessly, "As long as she doesn't seduce Jun-ge'er, I can still treat her well."

"What if the young master on the second day of the second month also tries to steal that kite?" the old woman asked worriedly.

Mrs. Lin sighed, "Then let's find him something to do. At worst, I'll just pretend to be sick again."

……

Liu Yuechu had no time to worry about these things; when she returned home, Wei Gongming had already left.

Wei Gongming was furious when he left. He had already humbled himself to see her. Even if she harbored resentment towards his past life, she should have stopped now.

During the evening gathering, he drank a few extra cups of wine. After exchanging toasts, Qin Yongshang asked him if he should settle down and start a family, saying that as long as he was willing to work for the Third Prince, it would be easy to find him a daughter from a prominent family for a marriage alliance.

Wei Gongming immediately perked up, "I don't want the daughter of a high-ranking family, I only want the one from the Liu family."

"Liu family?"

"Liu Yuechu".

Qin Yong was puzzled. "She's just a merchant's daughter. Even if she has a lot of money, her status isn't high. It's better to arrange a marriage."

“No, I only want her.” Wei Gongming said firmly, “As long as Your Highness helps me marry this woman, I am willing to serve Your Highness like a dog.”

He held many cards in his hand; for example, he knew that His Majesty hoped to resolve the empty treasury, and he also knew which prince's actions had offended His Majesty.

He knew exactly how the Third Prince should win over the support of several important officials in the court and how much he should give up.

But there must be a transaction involved in doing business.

If the Third Prince doesn't offer him any real benefits, he won't make any moves.

Qin Yongshang laughed, "I heard you were tricked by that woman once, so you're still angry? The young master of the Jingguo Duke's mansion has also taken a fancy to her..." If you want the Third Prince to help you, you must give something first.

Wei Gongming pondered for a moment, "The county government in the capital is in charge of all the trivial matters in the capital. Whatever information Your Highness needs, I can provide it immediately."

“Even when you’re not here, the Third Prince will still be able to find out what he wants to know.”

“I also know one more thing. Although there is no evidence, I can save my life…” Wei Gongming had already recalled in his mind what would happen to the Third Prince.

Qin Yongshang raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

Wei Gongming whispered a few words in his ear, "Whether the matter is true or false, let the Third Prince investigate. But I can guarantee that it is true at this moment. If it is false, you can have His Highness kill me."

Qin Yong stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then hurriedly left.

The next day, the young eunuch who served the Third Prince suddenly died.

The cause of death was overwork and sudden heart disease.

In fact, he was beaten to death by the Third Prince because he had been by the Prince's side for eight years and was actually the Crown Prince's man.

After dealing with this man, the Third Prince personally met with Wei Gongming.

"The woman you desire, I can help you obtain, but you must tell me how you discovered that beast was problematic?" He hadn't even realized that his personal bodyguard was "Eyes," yet Wei Gongming knew?!

Wei Gongming pondered for a moment, "It was an accident..." He made up a reason, saying that he happened to run into the eunuch who had met the Crown Princess's father.

"If it's just acquaintances meeting, there's no need to be secretive or have people guarding the restaurant from top to bottom."

In his previous life, this little eunuch was only discovered ten years later, and the Third Prince paid a heavy price for it. In this life, he just died a little earlier.

The Third Prince was so angry he laughed, "You really have a heart."

“Even the most ambitious wild horse needs a discerning eye to recognize its potential. I am willing to serve Your Highness and be at your beck and call.” Wei Gongming kowtowed.

This was his master from his previous life, so he knelt without any pressure. Besides, if he didn't bow his head now, he would really have no future.

The Third Prince was also puzzled, "Why do you insist on supporting me?" He had sent people to inquire about Wei Gongming carefully.

Even during the recent snow disaster, Wei Gongming only sent rice and other supplies to him and the two vice ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, ignoring the other princes.

Wei Gongming launched into another round of flattery, "Because the Third Prince once spoke up for my father..." Back then, the old Marquis pleaded with His Majesty in court to spare his youngest son's life. The Third Prince also mentioned the Zhenning Marquis's family's numerous military achievements and begged His Majesty not to be so ruthless.

At that time, the Third Prince was vying for power with the Crown Prince, and it had nothing to do with the Zhenning Marquis's mansion.

"You know how to repay kindness, that's kind of you, and I can't let you down. Go back and wait patiently, on the second day of the second month, your wish will be granted." The Third Prince didn't say anything more and just sent him away.

Wei Gongming was in a great mood when he returned home.

Guan asked him curiously what the happy event was, and Wei Gongming said that he was going to get married. "...You must not mistreat this woman, and after she enters the household, you should send Tian Yayun away as soon as possible, so that she will not be an eyesore in the Marquis's mansion."

In his past life, Liu Yuechu had a big fight with Tian Yage and stopped sharing a room with her. Besides, Tian Yage was indeed useless; none of the three children she gave birth to met his expectations, so why should he keep her around to cause him trouble?

Madam Guan was shocked. "Why are you so concerned about a merchant's daughter? And no matter who you marry, you shouldn't have driven your cousin away. The two of you have already... and you've even been betrothed since childhood."

"Even if there were a written agreement for an arranged marriage, I would tear it up."

When Wei Gongming was reborn and woke up, he was in Tian Yayun's bed. He jumped out of bed, dressed, and left as if Tian Yayun were a plague.

Since then, he has never touched Tian Ya Yun again, but what was bound to happen had already happened, and Guan Shi had already regarded her as a member of the Marquis's mansion.

Knowing his mother's thoughts, Wei Gongming warned, "You must keep a low profile these days and not cause any trouble. If you interfere with my affairs, don't blame me for turning against you without hesitation."

Guan was struck dumb, as if by lightning. "I am your mother, your own mother, how dare you speak to me like this?"

When Wei Gongming recalled the latter half of his previous life, it was as if a heavy hammer had struck his heart. "For the sake of a scoundrel, you sent my brother to prison and caused my father's tragic death. Do you still dare to dream of being in charge?"

Having witnessed the rise and fall of the Marquis's mansion in his previous life, Wei Gongming will not repeat the same mistakes in this life.

He was so drunk that he turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

Guan sat there blankly for a long time, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted...
