Remarrying Chun Yuan

"Boss Zhu facilitates the barter trade between the states of Qi and Chu, making two trips a year," the subordinate said.

Bartering? Wei Gongming was even more curious.

"Send someone to find out about this person. I need all the information. From now on, we need to keep a close eye on everyone who has any dealings with the outside world or the border."

The person Yuan Cuo was so eager to curry favor with must be extraordinary. Who knows if this person has any connection to his travels throughout the Great Qi in his previous life?

Liu Yuechu is already married, and even if Wei Gongming hopes she will remain a widow, it seems Yuan Cuo won't die anytime soon.

Since he can't die and is already living a life of luxury, perhaps he has lost the ambition he had in his previous life to map out the territory of the Great Qi.

Why doesn't he seize the credit before Yuan Cuo makes a move?

Actually, he didn't need to travel around. He just needed to find out some details, make up some stories, and draw out the map of the Great Qi from his memory.

Then he marked the mineral veins, and the title of Duke of Baoguo would be his.

Once he rises to prominence, how could Liu Yuechu not regret it? He must proceed slowly and steadily, and make sure he earns this credit, so that he can see this woman crying and begging for forgiveness!

Liu Yuechu was regretting it at this moment.

She regretted not leaving Liu Musheng at the county government office; she shouldn't have brought him back.

He returned to the Liu residence that day and fell asleep immediately, sleeping for two days and two nights without waking up. The old lady couldn't sit still in the backyard any longer, so she stayed by Liu Musheng's bedside and refused to leave.

She consulted several doctors, all of whom said it was nothing serious and she would be fine after a few days of rest.

But the old lady didn't believe it and even summoned Liu Yuechu to scold her, "...Look at the kind of person you married! He can't help your older brother at all, and he's even ruined him like this. You're a vicious woman, just like your own mother!"

"Mother, please don't be sad. Sheng-ge is fine. The doctor said he was just frightened and will be fine after a few more days of rest."

Fourth Aunt comforted the old lady from the side, but didn't forget to peek at Liu Yuechu, "Don't blame the old lady for complaining. She still feels sorry for you marrying a poor scholar who can't be helped. Putting aside others, if you had married Wei Gongming, would your brother and cousin have to suffer like this?"

"Who says otherwise? You had so many good families to choose from, but you chose the worst one. It's not that I'm criticizing you, but you're really willful. We're all family, we all share the surname Liu, yet you insist on being on the same side as someone with a different surname!"

"My cousin was also misled by that group of literati and scholars. They seemed to be there to support my brother-in-law, but when my cousin got into trouble, not a single one of them was seen. It was all a lie!" Liu Yueliu, the younger sister from the fourth branch of the family, added fuel to the fire.

"That's right, aren't there also the Vice Minister of Works and the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies? Not a single one of them is helping. I heard that your aunt is also angry, angry that you are too willful, refusing to marry into a good family, and doesn't even want to acknowledge you as her niece anymore." Fourth Aunt added fuel to the fire.

……

Everyone was talking at once, and Liu Yuechu was already fed up with it.

In her past life, her backbone was shattered by these people who used kinship against her, and in this life, she has no intention of tolerating it any longer.

"Finished? I have other things to do after that." Her expression was indifferent, neither sad nor happy.

The old lady glared at him. "You're not allowed to go anywhere! If Sheng-ge doesn't wake up, I'll accuse you of murder! And where's that penniless bastard you found? When he returns, make him kneel before Sheng-ge's bed! I'll consider sparing him when Sheng-ge wakes up!"

Liu Yuechu originally didn't want to pay attention, but the old lady actually wanted to target Yuan Cuo?

He blamed others for not being able to support him when his own grandson was disappointing.

She suddenly burst into laughter in anger, turned around, walked to Liu Musheng's bedside, grabbed his collar, and slapped him three times across the face.

Liu Musheng woke up with a start, "Don't hit me, I'll talk!" Seeing that it was Liu Yuechu in front of him, and then a group of women surrounding him, he exclaimed, "Why are you all staring at me? Am I seriously ill? Am I terminally ill? Tell me the truth!"

Liu Yuechu showed no mercy at all, "Haven't you had enough sleep in prison? If you keep acting so dazed and confused, your memorial tablet will be ready in no time. Either stand up and behave yourself, or you might as well marry this rosewood bed!"

Yuan Cuo once said that the fastest way to wake him up was to slap him, or to let him sleep for three days, which would make him feel even more refreshed.

Liu Yuechu originally wanted to let him off the hook, but the old lady wouldn't let it go.

The old lady was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "Are you crazy? How could you hit your older brother?!" She pushed Liu Yuechu away, and Liang's mother also stood in front of Liu Musheng to protect him.

"Moon Lady, what are you doing? I was just saying a few words to you, why did you hit me? We've only been married a few days, and you've already been corrupted by that Yuan Cuo guy!"

"Quickly apologize to your older brother, he won't hold it against you!" Fourth Aunt said.

"To hold a grudge? Who's holding a grudge against whom? Your son took the imperial examinations for eight years and only became a Xiucai (a lower-level scholar), yet he mocks others for their lack of education?"

Liu Yuechu put her hands on her hips and scolded them one by one, "And you, you think it's too ordinary for me to marry a scholar? Why don't you go and marry into a high-class family to climb the social ladder? Did you arrange a whole bunch of marriages, but no one wanted you?"

Liu Yueliu's face flushed red. "Cousin, how could you say that to me?!"

"Why can't I? You're plain-looking, and you can't play any of the traditional arts. Besides being sarcastic and weird, what else do you know?"

Liu Yuechu despised her cousin the most. In her previous life, her fourth uncle sold her and had Wei Gongming act as matchmaker to arrange a marriage for Liu Yuechu, so that she could become a concubine in the Duke's mansion.

Now they're mocking her for marrying badly? What a joke!

"Mother, my cousin is bullying people..." Liu Yueliu burst into tears and hid in her fourth aunt's arms, sobbing.

Fourth Aunt also felt sorry for her daughter, "How did Yue Niang become like this? You used to be so gentle and understanding, and now you've turned into a shrew!"

"Why can't I throw things? This is my home! From now on, these people are not allowed to enter the Liu family without a visiting card. If anyone lets outsiders in without permission again, don't blame me for turning my back on them and splitting the family!" Liu Yuechu instructed Granny Fang, and then turned and left.

The women were dumbfounded. They had only said a few words to her, so why were they reacting so strongly?

The old lady had no mind for outsiders; she only looked at Liu Musheng, "Are you in pain? Does it hurt? My grandson, you've suffered so much..."

"I just want to sleep, what are you guys doing?" Liu Musheng didn't know what was going on, but his face hurt from Liu Yuechu's slap!

"It's all because your sister is willful. She only cares about that poor scholar and doesn't care about us anymore!" Fourth Aunt complained directly.

"She doesn't want to talk to you, not me. So don't come here so often in the future. Didn't everyone get their share of the silver? Stop loitering around like this!" Liu Musheng was grateful to Yuan Cuo for surviving the ordeal and getting out of prison.

Although he was not lucid in the county government court, he remembered all his experiences and had not forgotten them.

The old lady was taken aback. "How could you be so confused? Why are you taking their side?!"

"I think you're the one who's confused. From now on, mind your own business and just eat and drink your fill!" Liu Musheng got out of bed and chased his aunts and cousins ​​out, and the old lady was also sent back to the courtyard.

When Yuan Cuo returned to the Liu family, Liu Musheng had already run to "Yuanchu Pavilion" to apologize to Liu Yuechu, "It was my fault, I am guilty, I really shouldn't have gone to the brothel that day..."
