Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 64 Cooperation

Yuan Cuo nodded seriously, "Go back and tell your second sister, and make her happy."

Liu Muchi thought his brother-in-law was a refined gentleman, but he never expected that he would use any trick to please his sister.

"How can my brother-in-law be so sure that he will hold court after seeing you?" he asked, very curious.

Yuan Cuo laughed, "Because when he feels guilty, he always acts rashly."

"Feeling guilty?" Liu Muchi didn't understand.

Yuan Cuo didn't say anything definitively. He had already sent Hou Lai to inquire, and he would know the details later. "Go back and tell Yue Niang that I'll wait here."

Now that we're here, we should find a way to bring them back.

Meanwhile, Liu Yuechu was being driven crazy by the old lady's crying and nagging, who kept accusing Liu Yuechu of deliberately harming her brother and plotting to seize the family property.

"It's been four days already, and you're only now sending someone to find out what happened? Don't you even care about your brother anymore?!"

"She married a poor scholar and was so bewitched by sweet words that she lost her sense of self and even abandoned her family."

"In my opinion, you're going to ruin this family sooner or later. You're really going to drive me crazy."

……

For most of the hour, the old lady kept repeating the same few curses over and over again.

Liu Chen and Liu Shang also came. After all, Liu Musheng was the eldest son of the eldest branch of the family. They seemed to be concerned, but they were more interested in watching the show.

"Logically speaking, Mu Sheng is the eldest son of the eldest branch of the family, but not only does he not take charge of the household, his younger sister even got married before him."

"Who can argue with that? His parents have passed away, his sister is distant, he's still unmarried and even in jail. It's heartbreaking to hear about."

"I don't know when my older brother will be back. If we don't hear from him soon, my son might be bullied to death!"

"He was blind; he actually believed a little girl..."

Liu Yuechu sat beside him, calmly sipping her tea, as if a swarm of flies were buzzing in her ear.

In her past life, if she had heard these words, she would have been so angry that her heart would have trembled and her chest would have exploded. She would have blamed herself for not considering her elder brother's feelings and getting married first.

But at this moment, she was only thinking about how Yuan Cuo would handle this matter.

She only knew Yuan Cuo as a philanthropist and a scholar with a broad vision.

But after getting to know him, I discovered that he was intelligent but not pedantic, and his good deeds were not those of a fool like Mr. Dongguo.

Deep down, a rebellious streak was stirring within him, his outward refinement masking his arrogance and unruliness, even revealing a touch of childish rebellion.

For example, he would ask her every night if he needed any supplements...

啐!

What is she thinking? She should be worried about how her older brother got out of jail... Actually, getting him out would be a disaster; it would be better if he were locked up for ten or eight days.

"Master." Bai Shao came in from outside and whispered a few words in Liu Yuechu's ear.

Liu Yuechu responded lightly, dusted off her clothes, and went out to see Liu Muchi.

Seeing that she was about to leave without a word, Liu Chen instantly became furious, "Where are you going? Don't you have any respect for your elders?!"

“Just tell me where you’re going!” Liu Shang chimed in.

Liu Yuechu said bluntly, "If I didn't care about my grandmother, I wouldn't have listened to her nagging for most of the hour. As for you and my third uncle, I really despise you and have no desire to deal with you."

Liu Shang grunted, "Is that how you talk to your elders? Don't think that just because you've received shares in the Liu Family Business, you can do whatever you want. No matter what, we are still your elders, your uncles!"

"So your own nephew is in the county jail, and instead of helping him find a solution, you're just here whining and criticizing me, a woman who's only been married for four days, for not going to the brothel to pay him off?"

"I don't mind going, as long as you're not afraid of outsiders mocking the Liu family women for going to brothels, making it difficult for your cousins ​​to get married."

When Liu Yuechu said this, Liu Shang and Liu Chen were stunned.

"Yes, why don't you go?" The old lady regained her senses. "She is a woman after all, how can she get involved in such things!"

Liu Chen choked, "Well... it's not that I don't want to go."

"The county court hasn't opened yet, so there's no point in going now..." Liu Shang casually made up an excuse.

"Going now is useless, when will it be useful? Once the court hearing is truly held, there's no way to negotiate anymore. Don't you understand how you can bully an old woman like me?" The old lady picked up her cane and struck her. "What are you still sitting there for? Go now! If you can't bring Sheng-ge'er back, don't ever come back to see this old woman again. I don't need your unfilial sons!"

The old lady swept her cane across the two men, making them unable to sit still in their chairs any longer. They fled in panic, covering their heads.

Liu Yuechu had no time to wait for the old lady to finish her tirade; she had already gone to the door to meet Liu Muchi.

Liu Muchi briefly explained the situation, and Liu Yuechu breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't just leave him waiting alone at the county government office. Go and keep him company. If he gets tired, let him eat something at a nearby restaurant, or you can buy some food and bring it to him."

"My brother-in-law told me not to go yet, and to wait for Hou's news before going back," Liu Mu said.

Although Liu Yuechu didn't understand why Yuan Cuo had made this arrangement, she could only wait and see.

Another half hour passed, and Hou returned from outside.

"...It was the Third Prince who was resentful that Vice Minister Fang had married his daughter to the Crown Prince as a concubine and deliberately set up a scheme, but Young Master Mu Sheng ruined the whole thing."

"The Fang family's daughter and her cousin were childhood sweethearts and developed feelings for each other, but their families accidentally found out. Sending them to the palace was the best solution, since even their own parents would find it difficult to see them there, let alone a lover..."

Liu Yuechu gasped. She suddenly remembered that Huang Wanwan had said that Fang Yunqing did not want to enter the palace and envied her for being able to choose for herself.

It was already a disaster, but then Liu Musheng was added to the mix, making things completely chaotic!

"No, we can't let my elder brother get involved too!" Liu Yuechu thought of Wei Gongming's unscrupulous methods.

If his goal is to disrupt Fang Yunqing's path to becoming the Crown Prince's concubine, then it doesn't matter whether it's Fang's cousin or Liu Musheng, as long as they can be linked to Fang Yunqing's innocence.

Given that he had to choose between dying and dying, Wei Gongming would definitely choose Liu Musheng.

It wasn't to get revenge on her, but because he had no worries about offending Liu Musheng.

"Go to the Dali Temple Minister's residence." Liu Yuechu immediately ordered a carriage to be prepared. She was determined to make Huang Wanwan change her address and keep the events of that day at the Princess's residence a secret.

Actually, we should also visit a brothel, since everyone inside could hear those two arguing!

"Mu Chi, go to Yixiang Tower." Liu Yuechu assigned this task to him. "Have Wang Fu go with them, and also take Song Liu'er. No matter how much it costs, make sure they shut up!"

At this point, Wei Gongming opened the court to hear the case, which only fueled his anger.

After he brought the person up, Fang's cousin changed his story, saying that he was indignant that Liu Musheng had taken the courtesan's place, which was why they had argued and broken several dishes in the brothel, causing blood to be spilled. He claimed that Liu Musheng did not intentionally kill him.

Wei Gongming then looked at Liu Musheng, "Liu Musheng, as far as I know, it was you who coveted Fang Yunqing, which is why he got into a fight with you after meeting you, and then you retaliated by hitting him and even trying to kill him?" His suspicions were directly directed at Liu Musheng.
