Remarrying Chun Yuan

Yuan Cuo's eyes were slightly open, his long, black eyelashes curled up, and occasionally flashed with light. Liu Yuechu saw the flaw at a glance.

Yuan Cuo silently watched her, then moved closer to Liu Yuechu, resting his head on her lap. "You're so beautiful."

Liu Yuechu's face flushed red instantly. "...You're awake, so go wash up first?" He still smelled of alcohol, but it wasn't unpleasant.

Yuan Cuo had no choice but to get up. "Okay, I'll go now." He glanced at her sideways. Her clothes were half-covering her, and her fair skin was alluringly moist and radiant with red. "Do you want to go first?" he asked, his throat slightly dry.

"I've already washed," Liu Yuechu said in a barely audible voice, knowing full well what was to come.

Yuan Cuo nodded and fled in panic.

Granny Fang came in and helped her lay out all the necessary preparations.

Liu Yuechu's cheeks flushed as she sat on the edge of the bed waiting, her fingers constantly twirling her hair. If the hair hadn't been so strong, it would have almost broken.

"Are you sure you understand?" Granny Fang had specifically taught her last night, but Liu Yuechu was vague and absent-minded.

"I understand, I understand." Liu Yuechu quickly pushed Granny Fang out. "Whether I understand or not is not important, as long as he understands."

Granny Fang: Does the son-in-law understand? She really forgot to ask.

But it was inappropriate to ask any more questions now, so she could only leave the place to her two masters and quietly slip away.

Yuan Cuo quickly returned after washing up, his long hair still wet. Liu Yuechu took a towel and dried it for him. His hair was of excellent quality, black and thick, and the skin exposed on his chest was very fair.

“A fairy,” she suddenly blurted out.

Yuan Cuo put his large hand on her waist, held her in his arms and smelled her. After taking so many tonics, wasn't it time to change her mind?

She noticed that the large hands were like pincers, and the taut muscles in the arms were as hard as rocks.

“Yuan Cuo…” I hadn’t noticed before that he was so healthy.

"Call me husband," he said, slightly domineering.

"Husband..." She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned closer to him.

The candlelight gradually dimmed until it went out completely, but their soft whispers did not cease until the moonlight faded and the fragrance of photinia filled the air, overpowering the scent of the red candles in the room.

……

The next morning, Liu Yuechu opened her eyes and it was almost noon.

Yuan Cuo had no parents, so she didn't need to get up early to serve tea. She simply turned over and continued to lie there, not wanting to move at all.

She twisted and turned, revealing most of her body.

A pair of large hands pulled the blanket over her, and only then did she eagerly lift her eyes to look up.

He woke up at some point, and was right there by the bed, holding a list from the Liu Family Trading Company, which he was carefully checking.

Thinking of his bravery last night, Liu Yuechu couldn't help but wonder just how difficult it was to travel across the territory of the Great Qi.

Such a strong and resilient person actually fell ill and passed away in a foreign land... When he leaves the capital, I must bring him all the money and clothes for all four seasons.

It would be best to bring several more teams of escorts from the security company.

Should we start hiring some bodyguards who know martial arts?

"What are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

Liu Yuechu was lost in thought, but Yuan Cuo only noticed the blush on her cheeks.

He massaged her shoulders and neck with his large hands, and she could also see the cherry marks he had left the night before.

"Although I have no parents and do not need to serve tea, shouldn't I get up and pay my respects to the old lady?" Although the old lady claimed to be ill and did not attend the wedding yesterday, she should not be ignored.

Liu Yuechu nodded. She should go. At least she should tell the old lady that Yuan Cuo was her grandson-in-law, and she should give him a large red envelope.

Yuan Cuo got up and called the maids in to serve him.

The white peony and Sichuan pepper were already waiting outside the door for a long time.

“If you don’t get up soon, Granny Fang will get angry…” Bai Shao whispered. “The princess sent people to ask several times this morning. When they learned that you hadn’t woken up, they were worried that you might have been injured last night.”

Liu Yuechu: "??? Injured?"

She realized what Bai Shao meant when she saw her staring at her body.

"Nonsense, I'm just tired, exhausted, and want to stay in bed." She was indeed very tired last night, but he was also gentle.

Seeing that apart from a few faint red hickeys on his master's body, Huajiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She fetched water for her bath, summoned the maids to bring her food, and also sent a message to Granny Fang, telling her and the princess not to worry.

After washing up and having a meal, the two headed towards the old lady's courtyard.

The servants he met on the road all called Yuan Cuo "son-in-law". Yuan Cuo had already prepared red envelopes and gave one to everyone who bowed and paid their respects.

Seeing his generosity, Liu Yuechu laughed and said, "Didn't all three thousand taels go towards the betrothal gifts? You still have some savings of your own."

"It was given by Old Zhuang yesterday, but it wasn't recorded in the gift money ledger. He said a man must have some money he can manage on his own." Yuan Cuo grinned wickedly, directly selling out the old man.

Liu Yuechu was surprised to hear it was Old Zhuang. This old man was really interesting. "Then why didn't you save them?"

"It's just a few dozen taels of silver, and besides, there's no need for me to hide anything from you." He was very sincere.

Liu Yuechu was very happy, but she was thinking that when she met the old lady later, she should ask for a gift for him.

Although the old lady didn't like Liu Yuechu, she still gave her the proper respect by drinking the tea offered by Yuan Cuo and giving her a symbolic red envelope before trying to get rid of her.

But seeing the old lady's gloomy complexion, Yuan Cuo asked her a couple of questions about her illness and also told her about ways to recuperate.

The old lady was displeased and did not say anything.

Liang's mother, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and mocked, "The methods of rural doctors are only good for beggars. The son-in-law should study hard and take the imperial examinations, so that people won't say that he is supported by a woman."

“Mom is right.” Yuan Cuo smiled but did not speak.

Liu Yuechu rolled her eyes and went out, immediately ordering Uncle Chun, "Is Liang Mama's son working in the mansion? Throw him out of here."

“Mother Liang’s daughter-in-law has also just taken over the eldest young master’s courtyard.”

"Drive them all away, leave no one alive. If they ask why, tell them to ask Mother Liang. Also, we will stop paying Mother Liang's monthly allowance from now on; let her ask the old lady for it herself!"

"Yes."

Seeing her puffed-up face, Yuan Cuo couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't stop her.

Liu Yuechu glanced at him. "Funny?"

"I love how protective you are of your own, what am I going to do?" Yuan Cuo took her hand, without any hint of anger or inferiority.

Liu Yuechu calmed down and said to him seriously, "Actually, you don't need to care about the old lady, nor do you need to care about the rest of my family. They don't even like me, so naturally they won't like you."
