Remarrying Chun Yuan

Hou Lai's questions came one after another, and Yuan Cuo said awkwardly, "If we weren't married, I could just leave. But now that I'm leaving without saying a word, won't Yue Niang be pointed at and gossiped about behind her back?"

"As for that person's opinion, we don't need to pay attention to it. He doesn't acknowledge me, so what right does he have to influence my thoughts?" Yuan Cuo's attitude was very firm.

Hou Lai curled his lip, "Beauty is a curse, it leads to trouble."

Yuan Cuo casually left with the words, "Then you'll follow this troublemaker from now on and protect her safety."

Hou Lai: "..." Can he take back what he just said?

"The Wei family is indeed a bit troublesome. Should we take action?" He really wanted to find a reason to vent his anger.

Yuan Cuo shook his head. "There's no need to pay attention to such a petty person. His own actions are his greatest torment." He knew all too well where Wei Gongming's weakness lay.

……

After being scolded by the Third Prince, Wei Gongming returned to the Zhenning Marquis's residence and went to see Tian Yage without saying a word.

Tian Ya Yun was leisurely sipping her chicken soup when he suddenly grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up!

"Cousin, please put me down, child..."

Wei Gongming looked ferocious, his eyes wide with hatred as if he wanted to devour her. "Have you ever told anyone outsiders that the child you're carrying is mine? Tell the truth!"

Although he guessed that Liu Yuechu was also a reincarnated person, he wanted to confirm it again. He knew Guan Shi and Tian Yayun's personalities too well; maybe it was they who spread the rumor everywhere.

Guan was so frightened her heart almost jumped out of her chest. "Put her down quickly! She can't stretch her stomach... You haven't even given her a proper status, how could she possibly go around telling everyone! This is utterly ridiculous!"

Tian Ya Yun's face was flushed red from being squeezed by his collar. She used all her strength to pry his fingers off, "My child, my child, let go!"

Wei Gongming loosened his grip, and she fell directly to the ground.

"You'd better not tell anyone, or I'll beat you to death without mercy!" he said coldly before turning and leaving.

Tian Ya Yun collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. She was so frightened that she felt pain in every bone of her body.

"If it weren't for my cousin's sweet words, I would never have followed him like this. Now he's starting to look down on me. What sins did I commit in my past life?!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. It's your own choice!"

Madam Guan had the maids and servants help her up and personally brushed the dust off her clothes. "You really need to keep your mouth shut and not let those gossipy people spread rumors everywhere. Now that Ming-ge'er is the Third Prince's man, the Third Prince has promised to help him find a good marriage so he can settle down and start a family. If a noble lady becomes the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, she certainly won't let you down, and she certainly won't let the child in your belly down either."

"Why can't my cousin marry me..." Tian Ya Yun cried, her eyes turning red like peaches. "My background isn't bad either, and I'm pregnant. Why do I have to wait to be a concubine?" She couldn't swallow this grievance. She longed to be the heir's wife!

Guan asked the servants to fetch another bowl of soup to calm Tian Ya Yun's nerves. "You know our family's situation. The original debts were only settled after Ming Ge'er became the county magistrate. Only then did the creditors voluntarily tear up the IOUs, so I had the money to feed you chicken, duck, fish and meat every day. Otherwise, how could you eat whatever you want? No other family could satisfy your desires like that."

"Besides, the capital isn't like your small town, where people value marriage. Although the Zhenning Marquis's mansion has declined somewhat, it's still a marquis's mansion. If you have to blame someone, blame your father for being so useless. Even if he had become a prefect, I could have persuaded Ming-ge to marry you, albeit with some hardship..."

Guan's incessant brainwashing made Tian Yayun cry with a feeling of being deeply wronged and aggrieved.

"Liu Yuechu is a merchant's daughter, and my cousin was happy to marry her, so why do I have to worry about social status?" she retorted.

"The Liu family is rich, are you?" Guan asked, getting straight to the point.

Tian Ya Yun naturally didn't, and could only cry even harder. When she was tired of crying, she drank some chicken soup and went to rest in the house.

Guan was also alarmed by this incident. She asked the servant and learned that Wei Gongming was still in the study, so she took the initiative to go and bring him food.

"What happened? You really scared me to death!"

Wei Gongming glanced at Guan Shi and was very impatient. He no longer had any good feelings towards this mother.

"The Third Prince originally helped me arrange a marriage with the Liu family, but today he was furious when he learned that Tian Yage was pregnant. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a spouse for me in the future."

Mrs. Guan was shocked. "How could he possibly know?"

"That's what Yue Niang said." Wei Gongming didn't want to change how he addressed Liu Yuechu, so his tone softened considerably when he mentioned those two words.

Guan frowned in displeasure. She had never understood why her son was so obsessed with Liu Yuechu.

"That woman is truly wicked. She's already married, why does she still have to ruin your marriage? Merchants' daughters are heartless and ruthless, only thinking about those few coins. It's true what they say, no merchant is without guile!"

Wei Gongming moved his lower lip, unsure of what to say. In his previous life, he had also made the same assessment of Liu Yuechu and the Liu family. Now, hearing these words from his mother's mouth, he felt particularly uneasy.

“Starting today, Tian Ya-yun is not allowed to leave her courtyard. We’ll talk about it after she gives birth. Also, if you see Yue-niang, don’t speak coldly to her. If you really can’t stand her, just pretend you’re a stranger.”

Guan's eyes widened. "You expect me to be polite to a mere merchant?!"

"Otherwise what? Every time I make a scene, I'll be ridiculed. How long do you want me to carry this stigma? Do you want me to find a good in-law relationship?" Wei Gongming suddenly turned cold, so cold that Guan Shi's heart skipped a beat, and her momentum immediately diminished.

“…Ming-ge’er, now that you’ve followed the Third Prince and have absolute authority in the county government, can you please release your younger brother?” She was still concerned about her youngest son.

The Marquis's mansion is thriving now, and that case happened so long ago...

"The current situation isn't convenient. Let me think about it before I say anything." Wei Gongming wouldn't bail out his brother. What use is a good-for-nothing? Does he expect Wei Gongming to support him?

Guan felt embarrassed and wanted to say something more, but Wei Gongming used the excuse of being busy with official business to send her back to sleep.

At this moment, in Tian Ya Yun's courtyard, one of Wei Gong Ming's attendants quietly entered the room, approached her bedside, and whispered a few words to her.

"The reason the young master hit you was actually because of that Liu Yuechu..."

Tian Yage's chest heaved with anger, her voice trembling with rage. "That Liu Yuechu is nothing but a saleswoman, what's so great about her!"

"Who says otherwise? How can you compare to Yunniang... Besides, the young master said that Yunniang will never be allowed to leave the courtyard again until she gives birth to the child, and then he will decide how to deal with you." As the servant spoke, his hands and feet began to wander inside.

Tian Ya Yun pressed his hand down and stared intently at him.

A chill ran down her spine; even though she didn't want to admit it, she sensed the word "danger."

"Why can't I be the Crown Prince's wife? I must be!"
