Remarrying Chun Yuan

At this moment, Liu Yuechu saw the chief eunuch, Hua Gonggong, smiling in the Imperial Household Department.

He had a mouthful of sesame-like teeth, and two of them were coated with silver, which sparkled when he smiled.

"For so many years, even if there are no moths or aphids that have made holes in the fur coats, they still have a very unpleasant smell! We have to take those boys to fumigate them for ten or fifteen days before we dare to send them to the Shanggong Bureau for tailoring."

"But this batch of furs you sent over, oh, the smell is neither too strong nor too weak, but rather fragrant. The reason I summoned Master Yue here is to ask what method you used. Teach the servants so that we can better safeguard the items in the storeroom."

Liu Yuechu let out a long sigh of relief, her legs went weak, and she almost sat down on the ground.

She was nervous the whole way and even twisted her ankle; now her back is so weak from all the effort.

"I don't know about this either..."

Liu Yuechu's voice sounded weak, "It was prepared by my husband. I'll go back and ask him about it. I'll tell my father-in-law when I find out the recipe."

"Alright, alright, then we'll wait for you." Grandpa Hua was beaming with joy. "This first batch of furs has been checked and there are absolutely no problems. This is the second batch order, and we need to order more items, so you'll have to hurry."

"Please don't blame me for being overly concerned. Actually, we specifically asked for less for the first batch because we were worried that you, Master Yue, wouldn't understand fur, so as to avoid any major trouble. But we didn't expect you to give us such a pleasant surprise. Indeed, handsome people do everything beautifully... So you'll have to deliver this second batch in two trips to make up for what was missing in the first batch." Eunuch Hua took out the request form and handed it over; it was as thick as a little finger.

Liu Yuechu quickly took the document and opened it to take a look. No wonder she was suddenly summoned to the palace. The first batch of fur coats would be ready in seven days, and if it was too late, it would be too late.

"Summer is just around the corner, do you really need so many fur coats?"

"Summer is for preparing for winter. This year is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the palace needs to make preparations in advance... This is an invitation to a palace banquet for the Mongolian delegation that will be arriving in a couple of days. If Your Highness has time, please come and sit down and see what those brutes are like. It would be a pleasure to watch them." Eunuch Hua handed over the invitation, the ink on it still wet.

This was clearly just written, not prepared in advance, or perhaps they hadn't even planned for her to come...

Liu Yuechu nodded repeatedly, her heart pounding with anxiety over the rumors.

Under the pretext of asking for a cup of tea, she approached Eunuch Hua and took out a handful of gold mules from her embroidered bag, stuffing them into his hand.

She just smiled at Grandpa Hua and didn't speak first.

Old Master Hua glanced sideways at the golden color, "Don't worry, given your meticulous care in preserving furs, no one can take your job away from you. Besides, those filthy words are absurd; I absolutely do not believe them..."

Liu Yuechu immediately bowed in gratitude, then turned and grabbed Huajiao's hand before leaving.

Even after living two lives, she rarely panicked like this. After carefully putting away the invitation and the order form, the two of them, master and servant, slowly went out.

"Why don't you rest here for a while?" Huajiao pointed to the long bench at the entrance of the Imperial Household Department when she saw that Liu Yuechu was a little overwhelmed.

Liu Yuechu nodded and moved over.

She twisted her ankle while running towards the palace, and it was sore and painful, with cold sweat pouring down her face. She needed to rest before moving again.

"Oh, isn't this the arrogant richest woman in the capital? With such a high-profile status, she's actually sitting at the gate of the Imperial Household Department?"

Someone saw Liu Yuechu rushing into the palace and immediately relayed the message to Consort Wan.

Consort Wan had complained about Liu Yuechu to His Majesty a few days ago.

Hearing that she had been urgently summoned by the Imperial Household Department, he assumed that His Majesty had avenged her and ordered the Imperial Household Department to teach her a lesson.

Consort Yue happened to be there as well, so the two of them came over together to watch the excitement.

Liu Yuechu never expected to see Consort Guan here. What a coincidence!

"May Lady Guan be blessed." She also stood up and bowed.

Because she sprained her ankle, Liu Yuechu staggered a couple of steps when she stood up. Huajiao helped her up, and with her messy hair falling down from running, she looked as if she had been punished by the Imperial Household Department.

"She's just a stray dog ​​that can't be kept in captivity. She doesn't even recognize all the masters in the house. She only greets Consort Wan, but doesn't know who the other masters are?" Consort Le's resentment deepened.

She and her son relied on their maternal family for food, drink, and social connections in the palace. Now that Liu Yuechu has taken over the fur business, her family has complained about her countless times.

Liu Yuechu did not recognize Consort Yue, not even in her previous life.

“This is Consort Yue,” the aunt stepped forward and said.

Liu Yuechu immediately curtsied and said, "I was momentarily negligent in not paying my respects to Consort Le upon our first meeting. I hope Your Highness will forgive me..."

"If you don't recognize your master, what are you doing in the palace? Guards, slap him!" Without saying a word, Consort Le ordered her maids to do it.

Judging from her appearance, she has been abandoned by the Imperial Household Department, and she must have the pleasure of kicking a dog when it's down.

The aunts immediately started working upon receiving the order, but Huajiao was so frightened that she immediately stood in front of Liu Yuechu, saying, "What are you doing? Our master hasn't done anything wrong."

"It's a mistake not to recognize Consort Yue's family!"

"Snapped!"

My aunts raised their hands and hit me!

Huajiao's fair cheeks were swollen with large red marks, and even bleed.

Liu Yuechu hadn't expected them to be so ruthless. They were practically beating someone to death!

"I pay my respects and offer my greetings. I have done everything in accordance with the proper etiquette. I do not understand why the two ladies treat me so harshly!"

"Do I need a reason to hit you?" Consort Le sneered. "You're just a little girl, instead of selling antiques and calligraphy properly, you're meddling in the business of officials and merchants. Do you even know what fur is?"

"Are you using the fact that you provided grain to the Ministry of Revenue during the snow disaster as leverage to blackmail me? You've made money too, so don't really think you're some kind of saint who saves people from suffering!"

"I provided the grain and fodder for the sake of the people, and I never thought that I had done anything great." Liu Yuechu was unaware of Consort Le's background, but she saw the malice in her eyes.

She didn't understand the origin of this malice, but some people's malice might be without reason, simply because of the malice in people's hearts.

Consort Le sneered, "Who are you trying to believe? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"What are you waiting for? Let's fight!"

"If this little brat isn't taught a lesson, she won't learn to behave properly. The fur coats sent to her are probably of inferior quality. How dare she try to fool the Imperial Household Department and the Empress? I'll teach her a lesson on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress!"

Consort Le found a reason, and her aunts stepped forward arrogantly.

Even though her face was swollen and burning, Huajiao shielded Liu Yuechu from the slap. But before her aunt could even raise her hand to strike, Liu Yuechu stepped forward and slapped her back!

The crisp sound startled the aunt, as well as Consort Le and Noble Lady Wan.

When do you punish someone and then get attacked in return?

"How dare you! You have no respect for the law!" Consort Le wondered where she got the courage to hit someone in the palace.

Liu Yuechu remained calm and indifferent, "I did not deceive the Imperial Household Department, nor did I deceive Her Majesty the Empress. Therefore, I do not accept the slap from Consort Le. Since I do not accept it, I shall return it. What crime have I committed?"
