Remarrying Chun Yuan

Liu Yuechu: "...But your eldest brother is a good person who dares not disobey the family precepts." She liked Yuan Cuo's goodness, but it wasn't the same as Lin Mengjun's goodness.

Lin Mengyu shrugged helplessly. Her dream of her best friend becoming her sister-in-law was probably impossible to realize in this lifetime. "My older brother has been completely turned stupid by his teachings. Anyway, I will never repeat the same mistake in my life."

Liu Yuechu pondered for a moment, then instructed Huajiao to go and check on him, "Tell Young Master Yuan to be careful, and also bring him plenty of food." There were still seven days left; all his money was tied up in gambling. What would he eat? What would he drink? Wouldn't he ruin his health? If he ruined his health, how would he leave the capital in a few years? How would he accomplish the great cause of the Great Qi?

Moreover, his name will definitely be targeted if it appears. The well-mannered family of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion won't do anything, but a spoiled brat like Pei Chun will probably not let it go.

Hua Jiao immediately agreed, but Lin Mengyu stopped him, saying, "If you send him food, aren't you just telling others that he's the winner? He was just stopping me!"

Liu Yuechu was taken aback; she hadn't really thought of that. "Why don't you go and take a look when you return to the manor?"

Lin Mengyu refused decisively, “Why should I go? Give him seven days to test him. If he can’t even handle this, he’s not fit to be a live-in son-in-law.”

"Intentionally to avenge your brother?"

"I'm doing it for your own good."

Lin Mengyu pressed Liu Yuechu to talk about Yuancuo, forcing him to tell the truth about how the two met and how he chose him.

Liu Yuechu was so pestered by her that she couldn't very well say that she knew about his future in her past life. So she could only make up a story and tell it to Lin Mengyu.

But she was still worried about Yuan Cuo, so she found an opportunity to instruct Liu Muchi to keep an eye on him, "...Don't take action unless it's a matter of life and death." Yuan Cuo was not only the husband she had chosen, but also the future of the Great Qi.

After Liu Muchi agreed, he went to make the arrangements.

At this time, someone did approach Yuan Cuo, but it wasn't Pei Chun, but Wei Gongming.

Wei Gongming also knew that the casino had opened betting for Liu Yuechu's marriage selection on the second day of the second lunar month. Although he did not have the support of the Third Prince, he did not give up on snatching the kite.

He even had his servants keep track of how many people in the casino supported him, so he could decide whether to place a bet himself.

But he never expected that the name Yuan Cuo would appear on the trading platform!

Yuancuo!

How could this person, who had clearly disappeared from his sight for a long time, reappear at this moment?!

In his past life, he was jealous of Yuan Cuo. From childhood to adulthood, although his mother and his mother were best friends and he even married into the Marquis's family, he could never surpass Yuan Cuo in anything he learned. Every time they met, Yuan Cuo would always be the one to dominate him, which made him furious.

Fortunately, Yuan Cuo's parents died early, and he could only live a muddled life. But Wei Gongming never expected that Yuan Cuo would eventually become the Duke of Baoguo, a title he had always dreamed of, by drawing a map of the territory!

How many things did he do for the Great Qi in his past life? Countless, yet none of them can compare to a single broken painting he created.

Moreover, how could Yuan Cuo and Liu Yuechu possibly have any connection? In his previous life, he met Yuan Cuo by chance, and that's how Liu Yuechu got to know Yuan Cuo. In this life, too many things don't follow the plot of his previous life, especially this one, which is really too unexpected.

The more Wei Gongming thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. "Go and find out how he and Yue Niang met. I need to know every detail!"

……

The servants of the Marquis of Zhenning's residence didn't bother to inquire too much before telling Wei Gongming about the matter.

Ever since Yuan Cuo's name appeared on the gambling den's betting list, his background, education, his close friends, the aunts, uncles and aunts he interacted with every day, and even his daily habits of eating, drinking, living and traveling have all been dug up!

Therefore, the servants of the Wei family knew that Yuan Cuo had gone to the Liu family's trading company to request a map of the frontier, and also knew that his medicinal ingredient had saved Madam Lin's life, so they became very close to Lin Mengjun. Furthermore, he took over Liu Yuechu's bookstore, helping her organize and categorize books and compile catalogs, thus the two had even more interactions…

When Wei Gongming heard his servants' incessant chatter, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

A thought popped into his mind: Did Yuan Cuo also have memories of her past life? Otherwise, why would she take the initiative to get to know Liu Yuechu?

Although Yuan Cuo was a hero of the Great Qi in his previous life, he died far from home at a young age. So in this life, he wants to marry Liu Yuechu, get enough money, and then travel all over the world to draw up the map of the Great Qi, hoping to achieve fame and success?

Correct!

That must be it!

He was wrong before.

The person who possesses memories of their past life is not Liu Yuechu, but Yuan Cuo!

Yuan Cuo didn't want to take the risks of his previous life again, so he seduced Liu Yuechu early on and may have even spoken ill of him behind his back!

Otherwise, how could Liu Yuechu have ignored him and even thrown him into the county jail the time he snatched the kite?!

With a loud crash, Wei Gongming smashed the four-cornered chair to pieces with his fist!

"I considered you my childhood friend, yet you stabbed me in the back? You knew perfectly well that Liu Yuechu was my woman, yet you still tried to steal her away!"

He asked the servant where Yuan Cuo lived, and then prepared to head to the south of the city.

The butler found his words baffling. "He's just a petty person. Even if his name is on the betting odds, it doesn't mean he'll definitely win."

Wei Gongming paused, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

He shouldn't have gone to Yuan Cuo; he should have gone to Liu Yuechu. He wanted her to know that Yuan Cuo was the one who interfered, that he and she were husband and wife in their past lives, a match made in heaven…

Wei Gongming immediately changed direction and headed towards the Liu family.

But when he asked to see Liu Yuechu, the gatekeeper refused him without even announcing his arrival.

"The marriage selection is just a few days away on the second day of the second lunar month. What is the meaning of you coming to see our master at this time? Our master is not in the manor, and even if he were, he would not see you."

Wei Gongming was immediately enraged!

"Do you know who you're talking to? I am the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning's mansion, the future man of your master. You'd better be polite to me!"

The gatekeeper flung Wei Gongming's hand away, causing him to stumble a couple of steps.

Shaking off the wrinkles in his clothes, the gatekeeper looked disgusted. "You'd better explain yourself. What do you mean, 'the master's future man'? You don't meet any of the conditions our master set. Besides, what's wrong with being the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning? You should clean up your family's mess before you go out. You're making the air at the gate stink!"

The doorman snorted and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Wei Gongming was so angry that he felt dizzy and disoriented. He never expected that a mere gatekeeper would dare to give him such a hard time. It was simply outrageous!

But when he chased after them and knocked on the door, the doorman refused to open it.

Wei Gongming beat his chest in frustration, regretting that he hadn't seen through Yuan Cuo's methods sooner!

As he was still debating whether to leave or not, another carriage approached from afar. As the carriage drew nearer, he recognized it as belonging to the Duke of Jingguo's residence. After the carriage stopped, a nanny stepped forward and handed over a visiting card; it turned out to be Xiao Zhenniang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

The gatekeeper was very polite, but he didn't allow Xiao Zhenniang to enter, saying that Liu Yuechu wasn't at the mansion and he didn't know where she had gone.

Xiao Zhenniang had no choice but to order the carriage to return.

Wei Gongming felt slightly better. It seemed that it wasn't that Liu Yuechu refused to see him, but that she really wasn't home.

But where could she go at this critical juncture?

Wei Gongming carefully recalled the places Liu Yuechu frequented in his past life, but his mind went completely blank; he had no idea...
