Remarrying Chun Yuan

Yuan Cuo glanced at it once and then tossed it to him, saying, "What use is it to me? Find a way to give it to Yue Niang."

"What? You're not going to use it to curry favor?" Li Chengyue was stunned. Shouldn't this be the perfect time to show off her husband's goodness?

Yuan Cuo scoffed, "I've already been entrusted with an important task, why would I need to curry favor? It would be more convincing for you to use it to curry favor. After all, Yue Niang will find out sooner or later that you interfered in the horse farm affairs, and your sister is really... a complicated story."

Li Chengyue clicked his tongue twice, unable to refute, so he could only put away the dirt on him and say, "I'll think of a way."

He did this not only to vent Liu Yuechu's anger, but also to bring Li Shu to her senses.

Especially after hearing what she said last night, she seemed possessed. If one didn't know that she and Liu Yuechu were close friends for many years, one would think that the two were enemies from past lives.

After hesitating for a while, Li Chengyue couldn't help but speak up, "You actually didn't pursue Wei Gongming's matter, and you're still thinking about your childhood friendship?"

The whole thing started because Wei Gongming's pregnant cousin was known to Yuan Cuo.

"Him? Not worth mentioning." Yuan Cuo never considered Wei Gongming as an opponent, not from beginning to end.

Moreover, he had already said that Wei Gongming's retribution was self-inflicted.

It's only been a month, and my pregnant cousin has already popped out.

Li Chengyue thought about it for a moment, "You're right."

He had originally hated Wei Gongming to the core, wishing he could grind him to dust. But his time working with Boss Zhu on foreign trade had broadened his horizons. Now, looking back at Wei Gongming's usurped position as county magistrate, he felt like an unaware bird in a cage, and Li Chengyue was even more grateful that he had escaped beforehand.

The two said no more, leaving Yuan Cuo to drink tea alone, while Li Chengyue went straight to the Liu residence to see Liu Yuechu.

Yuan Cuo rubbed his forehead and returned to the Liu family business to ponder the "Southwest Frontier Map". He considered himself not stupid and had some cleverness, but he still couldn't figure out why Liu Yuechu wanted him to travel all over the Great Qi.

Could it be that he already knew he had this plan? That shouldn't be the case, or did he talk in his sleep on his wedding night? Hmm... I barely slept that night.

He didn't know the answer, but he still put the matter on the agenda...

As evening fell, Yuan Cuo finished his chores and returned to the Liu family home.

Liu Yuechu was staring at the paper Li Chengyue had brought, trying to decipher the handwriting. "This is written so sloppily!"

She not only looked at it herself, but also brought over the literate Granny Fang and Huajiao.

Even Granny Fang couldn't understand his cursive script, which only allowed three characters to be written in one stroke. "My eyes are about to go blurry. If I had known it would be so messy, I wouldn't have let him go."

Li Chengyue left behind the stack of papers, apologized repeatedly, inquired about Liu Yuechu's injuries, and said that Li Shu's mind was not suitable for marrying into the palace before quickly leaving.

Liu Yuechu had met Li Chengyue before; he must have had other matters to discuss, but he simply hadn't mentioned them.

Originally, I thought it would take some time before I would receive the news that Fang Suozi had inquired about, but unexpectedly, Li Chengyue delivered it that very day.

I was initially very excited, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to read the handwriting.

Sichuan peppercorns only have a superficial understanding of characters, let alone cursive script.

"Please spare me, my handwriting looks like embroidery."

Liu Yuechu looked distressed. "We can't possibly bring him back in the middle of the night, can we?" Besides, she didn't know where to look for him, as Li Chengyue had already moved out of the Li family home and was no longer living there.

"It's all my fault for being illiterate and unable to help my master," Bai Shao said, feeling very guilty. She was simply willing but unable to do anything about it.

When Yuan Cuo entered, he saw a group of women with worried faces.

"What's wrong? I'm late. Are you hungry, my wife?" He took off his cloak, washed his hands, and sat directly on Liu Yuechu's bed to check if the swelling in her ankle had subsided.

Liu Yuechu rambled on, recounting how Li Chengyue had given the Wang family damaging information, "...I don't understand it at all, I can't even guess what it is, Brother Chengyue is just giving me a difficult problem!"

Yuan Cuo glanced at her and reapplied the medicine and bandaged her.

Granny Fang asked from the side, "Perhaps the young master can understand some of it?"

Liu Yuechu was taken aback. "Yuan Lang..." she drawled out, her coquettish tone already carrying a pleading tone.

Yuan Cuo didn't take the paper; he glanced at it and said, "Song Yao, a woman from the fourth branch of the Wang family, filed a lawsuit with the county government in April of the year before last, accusing her husband of poisoning her parents-in-law and plotting to seize the family property..."

Liu Yuechu was immediately shocked, not expecting him to be able to understand it?

"And this page?" She handed it directly to Yuan Cuo.

"The head of the Wang family favored his concubine over his wife, and was accused of incest by his daughter-in-law. The county government fined him three thousand taels of silver and closed the case."

Liu Yuechu took out another page.

"...The son of the head of the sixth branch is not his biological son, but his biological father's son."

"The Wang family bought furs from hunters at high prices, killed them to cover their tracks, and set fire to the mountains."

Liu Yuechu took out one bill after another, and Yuan Cuo could explain each one clearly.

Granny Fang, along with Huajiao and Baishao, seemed to be listening to a story. Comparing the words on the page, they couldn't make out what the young master meant.

"Did the son-in-law guess?" Granny Fang couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Cuo went to the table, picked up a brush, moistened it with ink, and wrote the outline of regular script on the paper, following the flowing ink characters.

"That's roughly it. There are a few disjointed sentences, perhaps because Brother Li used only one or two words to express it."

Granny Fang was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected that her son-in-law would understand it so easily after just a few strokes.

Liu Yuechu looked at him with admiration, "If it weren't for Brother Chengyue sending it, I would have thought it was my husband's doing."

Yuan Cuo sniffed. "Would you like noodles for dinner? I'll cook." He seemed rather guilty.

Liu Yuechu, however, was reluctant, and said, "Let Bai Shao do it."

She pulled Yuan Cuo along to briefly trace the handwriting on the other pages. Li Chengyue had only given her a single sentence, not details. She wanted to take these things to Fang Suozi for careful examination, and then fabricate a fantastic story about them.

Yuan Cuo naturally obeyed his wife's orders and did the job for her...

The written document was taken away by Granny Fang and would be given to Fang Suozi the next day to investigate based on these clues.

Liu Yuechu rested for one night, and got up as soon as it was light the next day, as she was going to attend a palace banquet.

Yuan Cuo bandaged Liu Yuechu's swollen little feet. "It's a pity I can't accompany you to the palace. I'll have to trouble Granny Fang to take better care of you." Even if he went to the palace, he would have to sit separately from Liu Yuechu, and he wouldn't be able to stay with her.

Liu Yuechu tapped the ground a few times with her foot, feeling a slight tingling sensation, not as painful as the day before. "Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine."

You should enter the palace as soon as possible.

Liu Yuechu washed up, dressed, and put on her hair.

Today, her attire, from head to toe, had to conform to the rules of etiquette, and Granny Fang checked it several times before she was at ease.

Yuan Cuo instructed his servants to bring a sedan chair, and only when they reached the door did he carry Liu Yuechu onto the carriage.

"If you feel unwell, come back early. There are many people in the palace today, and they won't notice you."

Liu Yuechu obediently replied, "Don't worry, my husband."

She had waited two days without a reply from the palace, so how could she not demand an explanation today?

She seems carefree, but she actually holds grudges.

In her past life, she kept her sorrows bottled up inside, which led to her untimely death. In this life, she wants to live to be a hundred and cannot tolerate the slightest grievance.
