Remarrying Chun Yuan

"Young Master Wei, I'm so sorry..."

After a long rustling in the corner, half a face was finally revealed. Li Shu's eyes were filled with tears. She had come to see Liu Yuechu's marriage selection today, but she hadn't gone to Jingchun Tower.

She saw Wei Gongming and Yuan Cuo fighting over a kite, and when she rushed over to see him, she also saw her elder brother Li Chengyue.

She felt sorry for Wei Gongming being beaten, but she never dared to show herself.

Wei Gongming was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile bitterly and mock himself, "Seeing me in such a sorry state, shouldn't you be happy and relieved? Why put on this pitiful look?"

"No, I'm not happy!"

Li Shu rushed out anxiously, clutching a handkerchief in her hand, wanting to hand it to Wei Gongming to wipe his face. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect my brother to be so relentless. He lost his official position because of the misunderstanding last time, and he's really having a hard time..." Moreover, his position was taken by Wei Gongming, which only made things worse.

"You all have it tough, but only my life is easy?" Wei Gongming disdainfully ignored the handkerchief she offered.

“I know it’s hard for you too, but Liu Yuechu has already chosen someone else. Why are you so persistent?” He would rather jump onto the roof to snatch that ribbon bird kite. Li Shu’s heart ached at the thought. In fact, her dowry was not small, and she was a good match for the heir of the Marquis of Zhenning.

"What do you mean she's already chosen? Is she destined to marry Yuan Cuo?" Wei Gongming caught this sentence, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Li Shu pursed her lips, knowing she shouldn't have said this. "She wants to find a husband to marry into the Liu family, otherwise she'll have to hand over the Liu family's assets and have nothing left. So there's no way she could marry into the Zhenning Marquis's mansion."

"Why not? Why is she impossible?! She can abandon the Liu family business for me, and I will help her manage it, even manage it better and more outstandingly, making the Liu family flourish!" Wei Gongming suddenly roared madly. He had already tried it in his previous life. After the Liu family's business fell into his hands, it was booming, even surpassing the major imperial merchants!

It was Liu Yuechu's narrow-mindedness that bothered him because he had a concubine, and that the concubine had borne him children. But she lived a life of luxury, with food and clothing provided for her, and he would grant her any wish. What more could she ask for?!

Li Shu was also startled. The Wei Gongming she remembered was polite, considerate and caring, as if he were not the same person as the Wei Gongming in front of her!

The maids quickly pulled her back a bit. "Madam, let's go back, this...this is too dangerous." The person in front of them had gone mad.

Li Shu nodded, also very frightened. She tried to leave by holding the hands of her maids, but Wei Gongming suddenly rushed over to grab her.

But his feet were swollen and his body was crippled, so he grabbed at nothing, which still frightened Li Shu and the maids into screaming!

"Young Master Wei, please have some self-respect!"

"Don't leave yet! Explain yourself! Did Liu Yuechu already choose Yuan Cuo, so her kite-themed marriage proposal was a lie?"

"What does it matter if it's true or false? She doesn't want to marry you at all. Even if you manage to snatch the kite, can you give up the position of Marquis's heir? You should just give up on that idea!" Fear gripped Li Shu, and she was filled with resentment. She didn't understand what she lacked compared to Liu Yuechu. Why couldn't Wei Gongming see her?

“I can give up my title in the Marquis’s mansion, as long as she is willing to marry me…” Wei Gongming was exhausted, all his energy and spirit had been drained.

Li Shu was stunned and speechless with shock.

Although she had heard that Wei Gongming had declared his willingness to give up his title, she still couldn't accept hearing him utter those words with her own ears.

"You, I, you are..." she stammered, her words incoherent. When the maids saw the yamen runners approaching from afar, they immediately grabbed Li Shu and ran away quickly.

Their mistress had already become the laughing stock of the capital last time. If they were to be seen with Wei Gongming again, wouldn't the master and mistress be tempted to hang themselves?!

Li Shu was also dispirited and was stuffed into the carriage in a daze.

By the time she came to her senses, Wei Gongming had already been carried away by the yamen runners using bamboo poles...

"Liu Yuechu, does she even know how horrible her evil deeds are?" she muttered, then began to sob.

Liu Yuechu was smiling at this moment, because Yuan Cuo had just sent her a large red envelope with three thousand taels of silver inside.

Although three thousand taels was not much to her, it represented his entire betting capital for this gamble, or rather, his entire fortune.

A man who dares to give away all his family wealth is showing the utmost sincerity.

"He gave me all the money, what am I going to use for the betrothal?" Liu Yuechu thought of the wedding ceremony list that Princess Chen had drawn up, which was three whole pages long. Even if the items listed on it weren't extremely valuable, they were still quite expensive.

"I asked him too, and Young Master Yuan said not to worry, he has his own way," Bai Shao said with a smile.

Liu Yuechu was puzzled. "What can he do? Those items need to be bought with silver."

"You think he's still the street doctor offering free medical consultations? He's already your fiancé." Huajiao teased with a smile, talking about how the people treated Yuan Cuo differently in the past. "They respected him in the past, but it wasn't flattery. Now that he's about to marry you, that empty little courtyard has been filled with gifts. It's said that the pawnshop even sent back the deed to Young Master Yuan's house."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Liu Yuechu was genuinely surprised.

"Of course, the original owner of the bookstore also sent gifts. I heard that Yang Xuezheng's mother was also delighted. Your reputation is good, and Young Master Yuan is no less so. The items may not be that valuable, but they are plentiful."

“Yang Xuezheng…” Liu Yuechu thought of Yang Zhanchun. Such an upright and incorruptible person, how could he have such a close relationship with Yuan Cuo? Although she knew that Yuan Cuo was the future hero of the Great Qi, upon careful consideration, she really didn’t know much about him except for his achievements.

"Have Steward Yao go there. Even if someone is willing to add to the celebration, Princess Chen must be present. He should decide what's missing and make up for it. I want to have a grand and glorious wedding." She wants to wear the most magnificent phoenix coronet and wedding gown, even more beautiful than in her previous life.

Bai Shao received the news and went to announce it, but returned at the door, saying, "Aunt Liang is here..."

Liang's mother was an old woman who lived next to my grandmother. Her sudden visit clearly indicated that she didn't come without a reason.

Liu Yuechu frowned and then relaxed, got up and went to the door.

"The old lady wants to see Yue Niang, but I don't know if it's convenient?" The politeness at this moment is clearly related to money.

Knowing that she would have to go through this sooner or later, Liu Yuechu simply nodded in agreement and followed Liang's mother to Fuyuan, where the old lady lived.

At this time, the old lady was not alone in Fuyuan; Liu Musheng and Liu Chen were also there.

Liu Musheng was nonchalant, while Liu Chen had a gloomy expression, clearly indicating that they hadn't reached an agreement. The old lady called Liu Yuechu, hoping she would back down.

"Grandmother, Fourth Uncle." Liu Yuechu greeted them simply as she entered and found a seat.

The old lady glanced at her, clearly displeased. "You just picked someone to marry so carelessly? If your father knew, wouldn't he be so angry that he'd never come back? It's shameful."
