Remarrying Chun Yuan

Wei Gongming only knew that Liu Yuechu would have a small gathering with her best friend on the second day of the lunar month, but stopped after she got married; moreover, in her previous life, after she got married, Princess Chen also left the capital, and she hardly went anywhere.

He wanted to ask someone, but didn't know who to ask.

Wei Gongming was unwilling but powerless to do anything about it.

At this moment, there was still one person who was unwilling to give up—Pei Chun.

He never expected that an inconspicuous man named Yuan Cuo would be on par with him, listed together on the casino's betting odds.

He is the son of the Right Chancellor, and what is Yuan Cuo anyway?

"Give me two hundred taels of silver. I must be number one!"

"My goodness, please calm down! Putting aside the fact that she doesn't want to marry you at all, she's still someone His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a liking to. If you continue to entangle yourself with Lady Liu, aren't you just causing trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince? If the Crown Princess finds out, she might even slap you!" The attendant poured cold water on Pei Chun's increasingly unruly behavior.

Pei Chun scoffed, "I didn't run that gambling den, so how can you blame me for causing trouble? Besides, what's wrong with me bringing this woman back? She's so good at making money. If she can help me manage the household, I won't have to live a life of frugality with just a few cents of monthly allowance!"

Although I have a lot of money every month, I never feel comfortable spending it!

"You married her just for money?"

"Otherwise what? She may be pretty, but I've seen plenty of women! Besides, what will people think of me if I'm standing next to a poor, pedantic scholar?!"

"If it's just about money, that's another story. Why don't you find a way to control her?"

Pei Chun looked at his servant Liu Kai with extreme impatience, "If you have a bad idea, just say it directly, don't keep me in suspense!"

Liu Kaizei's eyes darted around. "This servant didn't mean any bad idea, but I just suddenly remembered something. Do you remember Young Master Zhong from the Taichang Temple? He's Lady Liu's cousin... I once heard him complain that Lady Liu asked him about the Suzhou paintings by the Sage of Painting. He thought Lady Liu was investigating fake paintings, so he mentioned Yuan Cuo and said that Yuan Cuo's skills were very strong."

"Although I don't know if she and Yuan Cuo have met, a few days later, someone took a fake kite to disrupt the Zhenning Marquis's kite-fighting wedding, and Wei Gongming was even thrown into prison."

"Although I have no evidence, I have a feeling that something is amiss..."

"You're talking nonsense without any evidence!" Pei Chun hates nagging the most.

Liu Kai hurriedly said, "If you don't have any evidence, you can try to trick Lady Liu. If you manage to get some information out of her, then she'll be completely under your control. Maybe you won't need to get married and can even keep her as a mistress." Can't this old man use his brain? Why does he have to be so explicit?

Pei Chun stared at him for a long time, and Liu Kai felt uneasy. "If you... if you think this idea won't work, this servant will think about it again..."

"That's a good idea, but you're a fucking bastard!" Not only bastard, but rotten to the core.

Liu Kai breathed a sigh of relief. Wasn't it all because of you? Moreover, the old lady ordered him to stop the young master from marrying Liu Yuechu. Otherwise, why would he have gone around inquiring about it?

"Go and call Zhong Ziqi over. I need to ask him some questions!" Pei Chun didn't believe Liu Kai's relayed message; he had to find out for himself.

Liu Kai immediately ran off.

At this moment, Liu Yuechu was having tea with Princess Chen at her residence.

Ever since she learned that the casino had opened, she brought peppercorns and white peony to stay at Princess Chen's residence.

Anyway, with Song Liu'er and Yao Wei, the two head managers, overseeing all the shops, and Liu Muchi providing assistance, the other managers weren't novices either, so she didn't really need to worry about them. Besides, it would be too impolite of her to stay home and not meet with someone who had come to her.

Princess Chen was naturally happy to have Liu Yuechu accompany her, and the two of them enjoyed themselves for several days. The nannies also helped teach them a lot about things after the marriage selection.

At this moment, a servant mentioned that Wei Gongming had approached the Liu family again, which shattered Princess Chen's good mood. "What's going on with this Wei Gongming? He's become such a persistent pest. Are you sure you want to choose that Yuan Cuo? Aren't you going to reconsider?"

When Liu Yuechu asked Princess Chen to help list a bunch of selection criteria, Princess Chen already knew about Yuan Cuo.

But she remained unmoved and observed indifferently.

They had been wondering if Liu Yuechu might change her mind, but to their surprise, her resolve only grew stronger.

Liu Yuechu nodded. "Once we choose him on the second day of the second lunar month, we will set a date for the wedding as soon as possible. I dare not delay you any longer, otherwise the Governor-General will come back to the capital and scold me!"

"He dares."

Princess Chen stroked Liu Yuechu's head affectionately, "It's just a pity for you, little girl, that you had no choice but to marry such a man. But you can rest assured, even after I'm gone, I will tell Zhongyao to take care of you." Chen Zhongyao was her only son.

"I won't bother my brother unless it's urgent." Otherwise, she would rather rack her brains to find a solution herself than have to listen to Chen Zhongyao's long lectures every time.

Princess Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Your stubborn brother can always find fault with everyone, but he seems to approve of this Yuan Cuo. After the selection on the second day of the second lunar month, bring him here so I can meet him." Princess Chen had inquired about Yuan Cuo beforehand, otherwise she wouldn't have let Liu Yuechu act so willfully.

Liu Yuechu readily agreed.

Before the mother and daughter could say anything more, the nanny suddenly came to deliver a message: Liu Muchi had arrived.

Since Liu Yuechu moved into the Princess's residence, Liu Muchi has come every day to report on household affairs.

But today he was in a hurry. After being summoned to the main hall, he hurriedly bowed to Princess Chen and then whispered in Liu Yuechu's ear, "Young Master Pei, for some reason, led people to Young Master Yuan's house and ransacked it, leaving it in a mess. I don't know what he was looking for."

"Going through his things? And even stormed into his house? Has Pei Chun gone mad?!" Liu Yuechu tensed up instantly.

"Before he went there, he met our eldest cousin, Zhong Ziqi."

"?!!!"

Liu Yuechu immediately thought of the fake kite incident.

"Did Uncle Chun send you to find me?"

Pei Chun nodded immediately, and Uncle Chun specifically reminded him to tell Liu Yuechu the last sentence.

Liu Yuechu frowned, looking puzzled. Logically, so much time had passed, and she should have already sent the three people Wei Gongming had beaten out of the capital.

Why did this surface at this time? Because Zhong Ziqi blurted it out?

Before she could come up with a solution, someone from the Princess's residence came to deliver a message: "Young Master Pei from the Right Chancellor's residence has come to pay his respects to the Princess and is waiting outside."

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the siblings, Princess Chen knew perfectly well that something had happened. Pei Chun had probably come to see Liu Yuechu, and paying his respects was just an excuse.

"You go and deal with him. I'm tired. If he keeps pestering me, call your brother Zhongyao back." The Censor-in-Chief was no pushover, especially Chen Zhongyao. With just a few words, he could give the emperor a headache.

After seeing Princess Chen off, Liu Yuechu took Liu Muchi to the front courtyard to meet people.

But she stopped halfway there. "Why should he get to see me whenever he wants?"
