Remarrying Chun Yuan

"I don't know," Liu Yuechu simply replied with three words.

Lin Mengyu was dumbfounded. "Didn't you ask?" This is the most important thing when it comes to the betrothal!

"What's the point of asking? Does that mean I'll back out of the marriage just because the man doesn't have someone to officiate at the wedding?" She had already thought it through.

Lin Mengyu couldn't accept it, "But..."

"Nothing but."

"Master, something happened!"

A servant rushed over and said, "Young Master Pei from the Right Chancellor's residence has brought people to our mansion to attend your betrothal ceremony with Young Master Yuan."

"??? What does my marriage do with him?!" Liu Yuechu's hair stood on end!

Pei Chun's reasoning was quite sound: "We are all Liu Musheng's good brothers, and his sister is like my sister. How can we not come to support her on her wedding day?"

That's perfectly reasonable and there's nothing wrong with it.

But who doesn't know that Pei Chun once wanted to marry Liu Yuechu, and that Liu Yuechu even smashed his carriage with a whip? And now he's trying to build a relationship with her again?

Liu Muchi, who was greeting guests at the door, was in a very difficult position. "Gentlemen, please wait a moment. Allow me to inform my elder brother..."

"What do you mean, 'report'? With my relationship with Sheng-ge'er, what can he do to stop us from coming in?!" Pei Chun pushed Liu Mu-chi aside and strode into the room.

Liu Muchi chased after him for a couple of steps but couldn't stop him, so he could only send someone to the study to tell Liu Musheng, and also send someone to deliver a message to Liu Yuechu.

When Pei Chun and the others entered the courtyard and saw Princess Chen, they obediently stepped forward to bow and pay their respects. "I am here to support my sister Yuechu. I will definitely not cause any trouble or chaos. Princess Chen can rest assured."

"Since it's a genuine wish for good fortune, I believe it. But no one is allowed to cause trouble, or I'll turn my back on them." On this joyous day, Princess Chen couldn't very well kick people out, so she gave them a threat.

Unfortunately, they were all thick-skinned, spoiled brats who didn't care about such things.

"Princess, rest assured, are we ignorant people? Our sister is getting married, how could we, as her brothers, not support her? Just wait and see!"

Pei Chun sat down with a grin and drank his tea, glancing around. He was curious to see how beautiful Liu Yuechu looked. Would she be scared and cry when she found out he was coming today? With her charming and alluring appearance, she would surely look pitiful with tears streaming down her face.

He didn't like Liu Yuechu at first, only that she was very pretty. But this little girl was so arrogant and domineering. Not only did she smash his carriage, but she also turned around and bit him, leaving him helpless.

Pei Chun had seen feisty women before, but he had never seen one so dashing and independent. He suddenly realized that he had really fallen for Liu Yuechu, and he even cursed himself for being so shameless!

It's a pity that this beautiful peony, which adds to the beauty of the nation, is about to be claimed by a poor scholar!

What's so good about that poor scholar? Is it just because he's willing to marry into the family? He can't accept that Liu Yuechu would rather choose a poor scholar than marry him!

So, taking advantage of today's betrothal ceremony, he really wanted to see just how bold Yuan Cuo was. If he couldn't scare Liu Yuechu, he certainly couldn't scare a poor scholar.

Ideally, he'd be so scared he wouldn't dare marry her, and Liu Yuechu's engagement would fall through...

Before Pei Chun could settle his thoughts, another announcement came from outside the door: "Wei Gongming, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Zhenning, has come to see you."

The mere mention of the name "Wei Gongming" caused everyone to freeze. Had this man gone mad? Why was he still so relentless at this point?

“What the hell is he doing here? The Liu family has nothing to do with him!” Pei Chun was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

Although he couldn't marry Liu Yuechu, he refused to associate himself with Wei Gongming.

Liu Yuechu didn't marry him because the Right Chancellor's family had too high a threshold, but she didn't marry Wei Gongming because the Zhenning Marquis's family was too inferior!

At this moment, Liu Yuechu heard this sentence in the hall, and she clearly felt that Li Shu's expression changed.

"The heir of the Marquis of Zhenning said that he and Young Master Yuan grew up together and are close friends, so he came to offer his congratulations." Liu Muchi replied verbally, while cursing inwardly: What kind of close friends are you? I didn't see you going easy on him when we were fighting over the kite!

Everyone looked at Princess Chen, who also looked helpless.

Today was just the betrothal ceremony, why are these people making such a fuss?

"Should we ask Yue Niang?" She had just had this thought.

"Let him in!"

A stern, old-fashioned shout startled the birds on the branches, and everyone looked over to see Chen Zhongyao arriving with Liu Musheng.

Pei Chun straightened his back instinctively.

Afraid he might have mistaken someone for someone else, he stole a glance in that direction, confirming it was Chen Zhongyao. His mind raced: This girl is amazing! She actually managed to get Chen Zhongyao to come?!

The other spoiled brats were even more terrified; this was the very god they were all afraid of, even their own fathers...

"Brother Chen!" Pei Chun and the others stood up, bowed, and greeted him.

Chen Zhongyao responded softly, pulled up his robe, and sat down next to Princess Chen. The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed; the previously cheerful people stopped talking loudly, and the servants' playful faces also became quiet.

Liu Musheng was listless, only giving a perfunctory nod to the group of spoiled brats. He had been scolded into a dead dog and didn't even have the mind to think about whether Pei Chun should come or whether Wei Gongming should show up...

Lin Mengyu clenched his fists in anger, cursing Wei Gongming, "How can someone in this world be so tactless as to come knocking on our door so abruptly!"

“Actually, he seriously proposed to Yue Niang, and I really don’t understand why Yue Niang is so disgusted with marrying him,” Li Shu blurted out.

If she were Liu Yuechu, she would be overjoyed to marry Wei Gongming.

Liu Yuechu was not surprised. If she hadn't tried it in her previous life and been badly injured, she would definitely have been as stubborn as Li Shu.

"No matter how good the marriage is, it can't make me give up the Lin family's wealth. After all, money is reliable, but men are not," Liu Yuechu said softly.

"Are you so sure that Yuan Cuo is more reliable than him?" Li Shu pressed.

“Yes, I’m convinced he’s no good. I even think that a playboy like Pei Chun is more reliable than him.” Liu Yuechu’s tone was very firm.

Li Shu's eyes reddened with anger, but she didn't even understand what she was angry about.

Liu Yuechu remained calm and composed; the worst-case scenario had already occurred, and there was no point in worrying anymore.

At this moment, Wei Gongming came in from outside to pay his respects to Princess Chen and the old lady, as well as to Chen Zhongyao.

He also brought a gift, which was Wufangzhai pastries, the old lady's favorite food in her previous life. "...The pastries from this store are not too sweet, and they are made with good ingredients, which are more suitable for the tastes of the elderly."

The old lady glanced at it, without even a perfunctory smile, "It's too much trouble for Young Master Wei, but I'm too old and just crave something sweet." She had her maid take it and set it aside.

Wei Gongming clenched his fist. His status in this life and the next was different, and even the pastries had been downgraded according to his status? This old lady was too snobbish!

Perhaps in his past life he wouldn't have bought the old lady pastries, but she would have eaten a bowl of dog poop with relish...

"I've never heard that you and Yuan Cuo are childhood friends? If you are childhood friends, why didn't you follow the man's group and instead went to the Liu residence?" Chen Zhongyao's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at him.

During this period, he not only heard the court officials scolding the Zhenning Marquis's mansion, but Princess Chen also scolded him almost every day for harassing Liu Yuechu.

Wei Gongming was also surprised by Chen Zhongyao's appearance and was particularly cautious. "Our mothers were like best friends, but his mother passed away early. Since then, he has been idle all day long and has no proper livelihood, so we have had less contact."

“But his parents have passed away, and he has no one to help him except for a page. As his childhood friend, I should come and support him so that we don’t look down on each other because of the difference in status between us.”

"But I'm afraid he won't be able to invite a person of high status to officiate the wedding. Please forgive me, Princess Chen."
