Remarrying Chun Yuan

"I am not from a noble family or a third-rank official's residence. I passed the imperial examination at the county level and can also paint. My household is very simple, with only a master and a servant. My medical skills are not comparable to those of the Imperial Medical Academy, but I can still diagnose and prescribe medicine. I can cook some food, and the taste is acceptable. I would not dare to say that I am well-read, but I know about the customs and anecdotes of various places..."

Yuan Cuo stood calmly in place, just as she had when she first met him.

"Weren't you leaving?" Liu Yuechu murmured. She had given up on him, but he came to her door first.

Yuan Cuo smiled and said, "It's just packing my bags. I can move anytime."

"move place?"

"Aren't you going to marry me?"

His eyes were like the moon, calm yet dazzling, and his gaze was very serious; he was definitely not joking.

Liu Yuechu's heart was pounding. "Why...why should I marry you?" How could he say "marry me" so calmly? Doesn't he feel ashamed of marrying into the family?

Yuan Cuo paused for a moment, then clicked his tongue. "I have met Lady Liu four times in total, and you have given me tonics to help me recover on three of those occasions. If this isn't your intention to marry me, then what is it for?"

"!!!"

Even though Liu Yuechu had lived two lives, she couldn't help but bury her head in embarrassment.

How could such a proper person speak so shamelessly! She gave him tonics because the person who sent back the map of the Great Qi territory in her past life said he had always been in poor health…

“Yuan Cuo, this is no joke. No matter how realistic your kite is, it’s still fake.” She admitted she was tempted, but she couldn’t agree so easily.

She knew better than anyone how much the Third Prince hated evil. Yuan Cuo was related to the future of Daqi. If she was implicated, delayed, or harmed because of her marriage, wouldn't she become a sinner of Daqi?

She tenderly stroked the ribbon bird kite, then suddenly tore it up!

"master!"

"Please don't..."

The two maids were initially quite excited, but they never expected their master to be so ruthless!

Yuan Cuo wasn't surprised at all, as if he knew she would do this.

He took out another gift box, opened it directly, and inside were still kites, exactly the same as the one she had torn.

Liu Yuechu's hand froze, and she looked at him in disbelief. Those four strokes of ink, each with its own color, required countless attempts to achieve, yet he had made more than one?

She looked at Hou Lai, who was holding several boxes in his arms.

Yuan Cuo did not step forward again. "I have already expressed my feelings to my wife. I will go back and wait for news. I hope that the real kite will fall into my hands."

He left with Hou Lai.

Liu Yuechu watched his figure disappear from sight, pondered quietly for a while, and then gave the order to set off home.

Liu Yuechu did not speak a word the entire way.

When she got home, she took out her father's kite and compared it with his; they were exactly the same.

"Why is the Third Prince helping Wei Gongming?" She had to find out.

Only by eliminating the danger could she feel at ease marrying him.

He summoned Liu Muchi to inquire about what had happened at the Third Prince's residence. "...There's no need to rush this matter, and don't let it be discovered. You can go with your elder brother and hang out with his cronies while they're drunk, and you'll find out what's going on."

Judging from the Third Prince's temperament, Wei Gongming must have done something very important, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Liu Muchi said directly, "Today I was waiting for my second sister at the entrance of the Duke's mansion. I chatted with the coachmen for a bit, and they mentioned that a eunuch who served the Third Prince had died, apparently from a heart ailment."

"The Third Prince was furious and even killed the doctor who was treating his attendants..."

Liu Yuechu was startled and stared blankly at Liu Muchi.

Liu Muchi felt uneasy under the gaze. "Did I... talk too much?" he asked anxiously.

"No, you talked very well! Really very well!" She realized that Liu Muchi seemed harmless, but he was meticulous in his work and probably a ruthless person.

Moreover, she also remembered who that little eunuch really was. Wei Gongming was indeed a reborn person; he remembered the court's movements more clearly than she did, and that's when she started to take advantage of him.

"Do me another favor." Liu Yuechu had decided who would be the best person to target.

She couldn't afford to offend the Third Prince, so she might as well bring up old grievances.

A single move can affect the whole situation. She pulled Liu Muchi aside to discuss it for a while. Liu Muchi nodded repeatedly, understood what should be done, and immediately left to do it.

Guan experienced both joy and sorrow during this period.

Fortunately, Wei Gongming obtained a position of real power and became the county magistrate of the Jing County government. People kept sending gifts to her residence, and her life was completely transformed.

Tragically, Wei Gongming forbade her to manage the household and instead made her prepare to marry Liu Yuechu.

How could a merchant's daughter compare to the daughter of a vice minister of the Ministry of Rites? She would rather her son marry Li Shu than Liu Yuechu.

But she had no choice. Her husband had passed away, and her youngest son was still in prison. The only person she could rely on was Wei Gongming.

But she didn't want to back down like that. Once her son married that woman, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted? She was a dignified Lady of a Marquis, how could she be suppressed by a merchant's daughter?

"Aunt, we've bought quite a lot of things. Why don't we go back?" Tian Ya Yun was taken out shopping by Guan Shi today, and Guan Shi bought her a lot of things. She felt uneasy.

The Guan family has never been so generous before; something is definitely amiss.

Madam Guan was unwilling to be generous, but her son insisted on driving Tian Yage away. She had no choice but to be generous to shut up her relatives, otherwise, how could a young girl who had lived in the Marquis's mansion for so long be sent back? Tian Yage would probably have a hard time getting married again, and her relatives would criticize her.

"Buying more is fine. It's getting warmer, and it'll be more appropriate to dress lightly." Guan then selected the fabric and gave her the measurements.

Although Tian Ya-yun was worried, she was naturally happy to see the new item, and accepted it after thanking the seller.

As the two stepped out of the embroidery shop's main gate, a basin of red was suddenly splashed in their face.

I took a closer sniff of the fishy, ​​foul smell—it was dog blood.

The two women kept vomiting, and Guan Shi kept calling her the Lady of Zhenning Marquis. She told the onlookers to quickly arrest her!

The person who splashed the dog's blood had long since disappeared without a trace. When the onlookers heard that it was the Zhenning Marquis's residence, they pretended not to know which way the people ran.

What deep-seated hatred must someone have to risk their life to splash dog blood on the Marquis's wife? So people started talking about how the Marquis of Zhenning's mansion was selling grain at exorbitant prices and even selling a ten-year-old girl with a death contract to brothels... In the end, they were a bunch of scoundrels, and they deserved to be splashed with dog blood!

Thus, old news from three years ago was dredged up again, including the Third Prince. Who told him to recently help Wei Gongming by summoning private soldiers to help steal the kites?

The 29th day of the first lunar month.

The third prince was summoned to the palace and given a severe dressing-down.

He had just killed the spy who had infiltrated the Crown Prince's inner circle, so naturally the Crown Prince wanted to retaliate.

"Even if Third Brother wants to promote a newcomer, he should promote a good one. How can he be so indiscriminate?" The Crown Prince said sarcastically, quite pleased with himself.

The Third Prince gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, slunk away, and then pointed at Wei Gongming's nose, telling him to get as far away as possible and never see him again.

Wei Gongming looked completely bewildered.

How could he not remember selling slaves to brothels?

Upon returning home, Wei Gongming immediately inquired about Guan's situation.

Guan said casually, with a hint of complaint, "They're just a few maids, you can sell them anywhere! And now that you have money, all you think about is finding a job, don't forget about your brother who's still in jail!"

"He was so thin in prison that he was just skin and bones; his life was truly miserable..."
