Remarrying Chun Yuan

Besides these two, Li Chengyue and Lin Mengjun were also on the list, but unfortunately neither of them showed up.

"...Even if my mother didn't fake illness, my eldest brother wouldn't dare to come. He's afraid his heart will shatter into eight hundred pieces, and he'd be heartbroken and faint if he saw you marry someone else."

Lin Mengyu smiled, showing no sympathy for Lin Mengjun, and even gloating, "Besides, you look so adorable and ready to be married today, I want to snatch you up and take you home. If he saw you, he'd be kicking himself!"

Liu Yuechu wore a light blue cotton dress with an otter fur cloak over it, and a long, icy red agate pendant accentuated her fair skin with a rosy glow. She wore a white jade bracelet on her wrist and a piece of mutton-fat gold inlaid with jade on her forehead. Her face did not have an arrogant air, but rather resembled a serene white lotus, making those who saw her only dare to look up at her.

This makeup was done by the maids around Princess Chen early this morning; how could it not be wonderful?

Liu Yuechu had no time to think about her outfit; her eyes were scanning the crowd. "Hurry up and find out where he is! My eyes are about to go blurry!" She was looking for Yuan Cuo.

Three days ago, she considered meeting Yuan Cuo, but he seemed to have vanished into thin air, and she couldn't find him anywhere in the capital.

Liu Yuechu suddenly felt panicked, wondering what had happened to him and whether he would even show up today.

From the rooftop of Jingchun Tower, one can have a panoramic view of all twelve alleys in front of her. She has been staring at them ever since she arrived, and now her eyes are sore from staring.

"Please me! If you beg me, I'll find it for you right away!" Lin Mengyu was witty and mischievous, deliberately playing hard to get at this moment. It was the first time she had seen Liu Yuechu so nervous, and it was all for a man. She felt a little jealous.

"Stop messing around, I'm serious."

Liu Yuechu didn't want to cause any more trouble. If the kite was taken away by an outsider, she would try to avoid getting married again.

"Master, do you see that person over there?" Bai Shao had sharp eyes and spotted a person in the southwest alley, holding something in his hand and standing at a certain position.

Liu Yuechu followed her hand and looked up, just as the person looked up at her.

He was still wearing that same greyish-white robe, tall and thin. Although they were too far apart to see each other's features clearly, Liu Yuechu managed to catch a glimpse of his expression...

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both happy and relieved. "Fly the kite, fly it." She didn't want to delay and cause any unforeseen complications.

Bai Shao immediately untied the ribbon bird hanging to the side and handed it to Liu Yuechu. Liu Yuechu examined it closely, then waved it in the air and cut the ribbon with scissors.

The kite swayed gently, like a bird in the sky, circling a few times in the azure hue before flying towards the spot where the person was standing.

"It's been launched! The kite has been launched!" The onlookers' eyes followed the kite.

Pei Chun was also sitting with his legs crossed in the teahouse next door, holding a slingshot that was fully drawn. He really wanted to throw a stone to shoot the kite down.

But Pei Chun only thought about it, then put the slingshot down after a couple of attempts, not daring to cause any trouble.

"I'd like to see who you marry!"

Pei Chun was indignant.

He had tried to threaten Liu Yuechu, but Liu Yuechu turned the tables on him. After he returned, he immediately sent people to investigate. Unexpectedly, the young lady of his father's disciple was indeed pregnant with his child!

The Right Chancellor's office cannot tolerate this scandal and needs to handle it discreetly. Moreover, the Crown Princess specifically sent someone to convey a message to him yesterday, saying that the Liu family's recruitment of a son-in-law is the best choice, and that he must not interfere. This is also His Highness the Crown Prince's intention.

Pei Chun had no choice but to obey, and even felt a mixture of love and hate for Liu Yuechu.

He hated her for losing face, but he also loved her for saying that one extra thing. If that young woman really came to the Right Chancellor's residence with the child, he would probably lose his life.

"Master, do you see someone on that roof?" Liu Kai was also staring into the distance, and he had rolled up a paper tube so he could see further.

"On the roof? Who's that?"

"Wei Gongming!"

"Damn, this kid still won't give up?"

Pei Chun happily joined the crowd to watch the spectacle. "It really is him! Liu Yuechu, you're doomed! Don't blame me for messing things up for you this time; Wei Gongming is going to steal your kite again!"

……

"Master, it's the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning! He actually climbed onto the roof to steal kites! Isn't that going too far? He's deliberately causing trouble for you!" Huajiao also saw Wei Gongming at this moment, looking flustered!

She couldn't understand why he was still so insistent on marrying someone from a noble or high-ranking family, even though his master had already said he wouldn't marry into such a family.

Liu Yuechu saw it too, and her good mood instantly vanished.

She had sent people to keep an eye on him these past few days, but Wei Gongming went to the county government office to take up his post as usual without making any extra moves, so she thought he had given up.

Moreover, she had specifically inquired about it today and learned that Wei Gongming was going to take over the case in place of the county magistrate for the entire day, leaving him no free time at all.

So now he understands that a marquisate and official position are not as important as money? Liu Yuechu scoffed. In her past life, she went to the marquis's mansion with a grand wedding procession, and he spent a lot of her money on socializing, yet he still complained that the Liu family reeked of money.

In this life, without the lust of money, he was like a battered and bruised dog in the water. He didn't give up on choosing a wife, nor did he regret the mistakes he made in his previous life. It was just that his luck was too bad, and he only saw her as a rotten piece of wood to save his life.

"Mu Chi, take your servants and go check it out, and act accordingly!" Yesterday, fearing that someone might deliberately cause trouble, she specifically asked Liu Mu Chi to gather about ten strong servants to be mobilized at any time.

Liu Muchi immediately led his men to the scene, fearing that they might be too slow.

At this point, everyone noticed Wei Gongming, but most people were just making a fuss.

They cheered him on for his perseverance and unwavering faith. Some even moved a young woman to tears by Wei Gongming's deep affection, believing that he was only dragged down by the scandals of the Marquis's mansion and was actually a trustworthy confidant.

At this time, rumors also circulated that Liu Yuechu was a snob who loved the poor and refused to marry, and even insulted her as a swindler at heart. After eating her fill for many days, she had long forgotten the good deed of helping with the snow disaster.

……

"If you had known there would be troublemakers, you might as well have called Yuan Cuo to Jingchun Tower and given him the kite directly." Lin Mengyu was extremely anxious, she was really worried that her best friend's marriage selection would cause trouble again.

How could Liu Yuechu not have thought of this? It's just that they haven't been able to find Yuan Cuo.

"It's too late to say anything now, let's just wait and see how it goes." After much deliberation, she could only stare into the distance.

At this time, Wei Gongming and Yuan Cuo were getting closer and closer. They both calculated that the wind direction today was southwest, and based on the strength of the wind, they also calculated where the kite would fly.

“Yuan Cuo, if you withdraw from the Paper Kite Marriage Selection now, I will still consider you as a brother I grew up with and will not hold it against you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite and ruthless.” Wei Gongming stood on the roof, looking down at the ground.

He was less than ten meters away from Yuancuo; they could have a fight now and wait for the kite to arrive.

Yuan Cuo remained calm and unperturbed, saying, "Have you ever treated me politely since I was a child? I don't recall ever doing so."
