Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 49 Swear

Liu Yuechu slightly curled the corners of her mouth, "Are you sure you want to ask your older brother to intervene? If he agrees, you might lose all your dignity."

The stewardess was discouraged; she dared not confront him directly.

She understands the young master.

Although the young master is protective of his own, he is even more afraid of trouble. Moreover, the person handling this matter is the nanny who serves Princess Chen, so he probably wouldn't dare to utter a single word of pleading.

“But we servants have served the Liu family for so many years, we can’t just kick them out like that, can we? The Liu family is a large household, with many masters and many servants. Who among us has never made a mistake? Besides, you have to present the betrothal gifts tomorrow, and there will be many people coming and going, which also involves your reputation…”

Granny Fang gave her a cold look and snorted. If it weren't for the betrothal gifts tomorrow and the mess the Liu family was in, she wouldn't have only killed two of them.

"Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?" When it comes to matters of the household, there's no need to worry about things in a short while.

Liu Yuechu shook her head. "No delay, it's today. Even if I, Liu Yuechu, don't get married, I won't let a few old scoundrels hold me back! Those kneeling are the ones who were found to have made mistakes. Each of them will receive ten taels of silver as severance pay. Take the money and leave, and I won't pursue the past. If you disagree, then let's talk in the yamen."

She dared to cut off the two uncles of the Liu family completely, so why would she be afraid of a few wicked servants?

Having grasped her attitude, Granny Fang understood the situation. She urged Liu Yuechu to rest, saying, "I'll handle things here. You should rest first and prepare for tomorrow's events. Don't waste your energy on such dirty matters."

Liu Yuechu thanked her with a smile, left the pork knuckle, and asked Bai Shao to prepare some wine.

With Uncle Chun and Bai Shao helping her, she didn't need to worry about it much.

She took the Sichuan peppercorns back to "Yuanchu Pavilion," the name she had specially chosen for the courtyard when she decided to marry Yuan Cuo.

"Second sister."

Liu Muchi waited at the door, his face burning hot.

He had been helping out at home all day, so he naturally knew why Liu Yuechu had invited Granny Fang and why she had taken Liu Yuechan away.

He never expected that his younger sister would be interested in Young Master Yuan! That was his future brother-in-law; just thinking about it sent chills down his spine!

Liu Yuechan went over and tugged at her brother's clothes, but Liu Muchi raised his hand and shook her off.

Liu Yuechu smiled faintly as she returned to the courtyard. "Everyone's tired, let's go back and rest." She had been fed noodles by Yuan Cuo and was in a very good mood, not wanting to be bothered by anything so sordid.

Liu Muchi immediately agreed, took Liu Yuechan's hand, and walked towards the west courtyard.

"What exactly happened? Where did your second sister take you today? Who did you meet? You must tell me every single detail!" Back in the courtyard, Liu Muchi asked urgently with a stern face.

Liu Yuechan was frightened by him; she had never seen her brother treat her so fiercely before.

"Second sister didn't say anything..."

She quickly recounted her experience of trying on her wedding dress and meeting Yuan Cuo, even mentioning that Lin Mengjun would help her find a doctor. "...I understand what you mean, brother. I won't have any ulterior motives, I promise."

If we're talking about pure infatuation, that's absolutely impossible. Once a young girl starts fantasizing, her imagination runs wild, and it's impossible for her not to have feelings of romantic longing.

But when Liu Yuechan saw Yuan Cuo today, she realized that she was not worthy at all.

From the moment his second sister appeared, his eyes never left her, even though he didn't recognize her.

"Your words may fool your second sister, but they won't fool me. You'd better keep your mind pure. Your second sister took you to see Young Master Yuan and even let you hear him refuse to take you as his disciple and help you find another good teacher. She's giving you an opportunity. Don't be ungrateful and push your luck!" Liu Muchi warned sternly.

"I already said I wouldn't, why don't you believe me, brother!" Liu Yuechan said, feeling very wronged.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, I don’t even believe myself…” Liu Muchi sat on the steps, reminiscing about the past.

They used to be worse off than even the servants in the mansion, barely able to think about anything other than having enough to eat. Now, thanks to the Second Sister's support, they have the best of everything. Because of his position by the Second Sister's side, even Uncle Chun treats him differently.

Once a down-on-his-luck pheasant, he suddenly became a phoenix in a golden nest. Liu Muchi admitted that he was occasionally a little arrogant. But he understood even more that this life was hard-won, and his fate was in the hands of his second sister, Liu Yuechu.

Everything he has is given to him by this woman. He can offend anyone, but he cannot offend Liu Yuechu.

This is not charity, it is a blessing.

Those who defy kindness will always face retribution...

"Alright, alright, I know, I promise I'll stay away from my brother-in-law from now on, or I'll be struck by lightning, okay?!" Liu Yuechan raised her little hand and made her promise again and again.

Liu Muchi gave a few more instructions before rushing back to the front to help Granny Fang with her affairs.

Huajiao served Liu Yuechu as she bathed and washed. The mistress and servant whispered in bed, "You didn't ask who Young Master Yuan invited to officiate the wedding today? Are you afraid to ask?"

Liu Yuechu paused for a moment, then nodded.

Today, Yuan Cuo fed her noodles, a sweet and considerate gesture, and she didn't want to ruin the atmosphere for no reason...

"I'm not afraid of this bad reputation anymore. Besides, Granny Fang punished a large number of servants today, so I'm afraid many people will curse me tomorrow." If people curse her, they won't praise her as superior and think that Yuan Cuo's background is far inferior to hers.

"Pfft," Huajiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If Princess Chen knew what you were thinking, she would definitely poke a hole in your forehead!"

“Then she has a reason not to stand up for me, isn’t that perfect?” Liu Yuechu didn’t mind adding a stain to her reputation; her good name of donating grain and distributing porridge couldn’t be ruined in just a few words.

Huajiao massaged her legs, saying, "Your Highness is so kind-hearted, always thinking of others. I only hope that Miss Yuechan can understand your heart and not let you down."

"Mu Chi will probably be keeping an eye on her too. Let's wait and see."

Liu Yuechu thought of Yuan Cuo. He was like a cup of aged white tea, seemingly plain, yet full of charm. Especially his captivating eyes, like the morning star and the bright moon, dark and boundless, looking at her like a vine, mesmerizing her so much that her mind went blank, and she could only smile foolishly.

She fell for it in both her lifetimes, let alone a little girl like Liu Yuechan?

“He’s far more dangerous than Wei Gongming!” Liu Yuechu suddenly commented.

Huajiao was momentarily stunned, not understanding why his master suddenly said such a thing.

Liu Yuechu said this, but her heart was filled with sweetness. She wondered what other dishes he could make. After all, once they were married, he would only be able to cook soup for her alone.

……

The next day, as soon as it was light, Liu Yuechu lazily opened her eyes, wiping the drool from her mouth.

She dreamt of delicious food all night and was starving.

They called for Huajiao to come in, but it was Baishao who came.

Gone was her previous arrogance; Bai Shao became well-behaved and carefully served Liu Yuechu as she washed up.

Before taking the basin out to pour out the water, she apologized to Liu Yuechu, saying, "This servant truly knows her mistake. Please give this servant another chance, Master."

She had already been warned by Granny Fang, who even gave her a second option—to get married.

Bai Shao didn't want to get married and begged to continue serving Liu Yuechu.
