Remarrying Chun Yuan

Yuan Cuo smiled faintly and cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you for your kindness, elder brother."

"It's alright, it's alright. As long as you two are doing well, I'm truly doing well. I'm very happy." Liu Musheng's blessing seemed genuine, without any pretense.

The third and fourth wives were speechless. They were the ones who asked Liu Musheng to make a statement, but they didn't expect to slap themselves in the face. Besides, his brother had already agreed, so what was the use of their nonsense?

Princess Chen's maid came down from upstairs and said that the princess was still waiting upstairs, and asked Liu Yuechu and Yuan Cuo to go and see her.

Without saying much, the two turned around and went upstairs. Liu Musheng originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by his two uncles!

They wanted to dig his brain open to see if he'd been fed dog shit, how could he agree to let Liu Yuechu marry a gigolo!

Liu Yuechu climbed half a step, glancing at the group of people still chattering below. She couldn't help but ask Yuan Cuo, "Did you bribe my older brother beforehand?" This wasn't Liu Musheng's usual behavior, and he and Yuan Cuo didn't know each other before, yet he acted very familiarly just now.

Yuan Cuo didn't hide anything, "You're not allowed to get angry when I tell you?"

Liu Yuechu paused for a moment, then nodded.

Yuan Cuo coughed twice. "I promised to help my brother-in-law win back the red jade and gold-inlaid jade waist pendant he gave away."

"!!!"

Liu Yuechu is about to explode!

That was a gift from her father to her and her older brother, which they had been wearing since birth. How could he have given it away? And she didn't even know it!

"Who did he lose the waist token to? Was it that bastard from the Pei family who set it up? Only Pei Chun would do something so despicable, yes, it must be him!" Besides Pei Chun, Liu Yuechu couldn't think of anyone else who would be so wicked!

Yuan Cuo let out a hiss, "Well, actually, the winner is me... I was just afraid that if I had caught the kite, the situation would have happened again, so I got to know my brother-in-law beforehand and made some preparations."

"?!!!"

Liu Yuechu was stunned and speechless for a long time. Then she remembered what he had said on the way, "You said that the few days you disappeared were for preparation. Is this what you were preparing for?"

She couldn't associate Yuan Cuo with the words "scheming" or "cunning," but there seemed to be no elegant words to describe his actions.

“I didn’t mean to hide it. If you regret it, you can still refuse now.” Yuan Cuo stopped and looked at her seriously. He saw the shock and unfamiliarity in her eyes, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Liu Yuechu pursed her lips, stretched out two fingers to tug at his collar, and continued upstairs. "What's there to regret..." She actually felt that Yuan Cuo was more real and more delightful. At least he wasn't a pedantic person, and it would be easier to negotiate with him. "What else did you do? Tell me everything."

"How about we meet Princess Chen first?" It wouldn't be good to keep the elders waiting, and there are indeed quite a few things to do.

Liu Yuechu responded softly, then turned back to look at him with delight. Why did she suddenly find him a little mischievous, yet endearingly so? She quickly composed herself, as the maids were getting impatient and were urging them to go upstairs.

Princess Chen presented gifts to the two men and inquired about Yuan Cuo's birth date and time.

"I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to carefully select a wedding date for you, and all the proper gifts must be given."

"Saying that I'm marrying you as my son-in-law is just talk. I can't possibly have Yuechu dressed up as a groom to welcome you into the house; that would be a laughing stock. On the wedding day, we'll have a banquet at the Liu family's house, and then you'll go to the Princess's mansion to fetch her."

This was something Princess Chen had planned for Liu Yuechu long ago, so Yuan Cuo was naturally very happy and knelt down to express his gratitude and kowtow.

He then made some more words of loyalty, but was quickly dismissed by Princess Chen.

The farce had been going on all day, and everyone was exhausted.

Liu Yuechu escorted Princess Chen back to her residence and arranged to meet Yuan Cuo the next day.

Yuan Cuo also went to the casino to collect his three thousand taels of gambling money. He also needed to buy the necessary items and complete the necessary rituals, so he was sure to be very busy.

Jia Shun also went to the marriage selection site today. Seeing how easily Yuan Cuo became a winner in life, he hesitated to accept the three thousand taels in his hand.

"I really don't see what's so good about you, how could you possibly win Lady Liu's favor?"

He looked in the mirror for a long time and didn't think he was any worse than Yuan Cuo; in fact, he felt that Yuan Cuo was better than him in every way.

Yuan Cuo slapped his hand away and neatly put the three thousand silver notes into his pocket. "If it were you, would you bet your entire fortune on a woman's favor?"

"No, I'm not stupid."

"So, the only winner can be me. You're all too cowardly." Yuan Cuo laughed, patted the thick stack of silver, and turned to leave.

"What a disgrace!" Jia Shun was extremely displeased, but he couldn't refute it.

At this moment, there was another person in a bad mood, and that was Wei Gongming, who had already woken up.

When Wei Gongming woke up, his whole body ached and his face felt swollen.

He could no longer see Yuan Cuo and shouted angrily, "Where is Yuan Cuo? He knocked me unconscious and stole the kite! That kite is mine!" He wanted to get up, but Li Chengyue pressed him down and he couldn't move. "Get out of my way! I am the county magistrate of Jing County and the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning. How dare you insult me ​​like this!"

"If you want to leave, then crawl out. I sat on the bench and didn't touch you." Li Chengyue's words were not only sarcastic but also hateful, and his face was full of mockery.

Upon hearing the sound, Wei Gongming felt a chill run down his spine. He felt a bench leg pressing against his armpits, preventing him from moving forward. He could only crawl forward, but the creature crawling on the ground was a tortoise—how could he endure such humiliation!

"Li Chengyue, don't think I don't know it's you. Get out of my way, or I won't be polite!"

"How can you be any more impolite? Are you going to force me to beat you up again and then lock me up in the county jail? Wei Gongming, what else can you do besides play these dirty tricks?"

"Get out of my way! I'm the one who should marry Liu Yuechu!"

Stop daydreaming!

Li Chengyue bent down and stepped on Wei Gongming's face. The hard pebble hurt Wei Gongming's cheek, as if it had been pierced!

"Yuan Cuo has already arranged a marriage with Liu Yuechu. Princess Chen personally consulted the Imperial Observatory, and the wedding will be held on the third day of the third lunar month, which is next month. As for you, Wei Gongming, I will keep a close eye on you. You'd better not make any mistakes in your life, or I can bite you to death!"

Li Chengyue snorted and got up, strode away, humming a Beijing tune, looking incredibly happy.

Wei Gongming was so angry that his eyes were seeing stars. He shoved aside the stool he was holding and immediately got up from the ground.

He was kicked countless times; his ankle was swollen like a purple radish, and he was in excruciating pain when he landed. He hopped a few times on one leg before falling to the ground again!

"Li Chengyue, Yuan Cuo, I won't let you get away with this!" He cursed viciously, when out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught sight of a figure in the corner.

"Who is it? Come out here!" He was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it.
