Remarrying Chun Yuan

Liu Yuechu remained calm and unsurprised. "Put yourself in their shoes. If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you grit your teeth and lose money? Besides, if we really get through this, we'll earn an extra twelve thousand taels."

"Are you sure this money will just stay in our pockets?" Song Liu'er asked, her voice trembling with fear.

The warehouse was sealed off, and the Golden Feather Guards also placed the people under house arrest.

No other family has received this "treatment" so far. Clearly, the higher-ups are targeting the Liu family, falsely accusing them of stealing furs from the Mongolians.

There are only two outcomes to stealing: losing money or losing your life.

Song Liu'er was startled, not knowing which direction Liu Zhong was in. She bowed four times and said, "Master, if you don't come back soon, you'll probably find the Liu family's ancestral graves overflowing with graves." Song Liu'er's voice choked with emotion.

Liu Yuechu glared at him, "You're so dejected, don't talk nonsense!"

Song Liu'er had just shut up, wondering what to do with the people inside. It was already evening, and they had been starving all day!

"They're coming! The Golden Feather Guards are here!" A cry of alarm rang out from afar, followed by the growing sound of approaching hooves.

The onlookers automatically stepped aside, fearing they might be injured by knives or guns.

Liu Yuechu mustered her courage, got up and went to greet them. She looked up and saw Zhang Xinyan, who was leading people, dismount.

“Commander Zhang.” Liu Yuechu stood with her hands clasped, as if awaiting judgment.

Zhang Xinyan glanced at her, then waved to the guard beside him, "Go."

The guards immediately obeyed and stepped forward. The Liu family members screamed in terror. Were they about to die? Were they going to be captured like this?!

"We're innocent! Our Liu family is innocent!" Song Liu'er couldn't help but cry out in alarm, bursting into tears. "We absolutely did not touch the furs of the Mongolians! Our Liu family is innocent!"

Liu Muchi also mustered his courage, "The Golden Feather Guards need evidence to investigate cases, right? They can't just falsely accuse people. In public, there has to be an explanation!"

"Yes, where's the evidence? Our Liu family is absolutely innocent!" The person locked in the warehouse stuck his head out of the high window and shouted.

A cacophony of voices cried out their grievances, so loudly that even the birds perched on the branches of the trees in the neighboring yard flew away. They had no choice but to shout, for if they didn't speak up now, they feared they would never have another chance to seek justice.

"okay!"

"Shut up!"

"Three numbers, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"three!"

Before Zhang Xinyan could even call out "one," the commotion at the Liu family's house had already fallen silent.

"It's just asking them to tear off the seal..." Zhang Xinyan was speechless. He hadn't said a word, so how did it become that they were going to arrest people!

Everyone froze. So they weren't here to capture someone after all?

Song Liu'er quickly moved the tables and chairs to the side, and Liu Muchi also pulled Liu Yuechu away.

The guards stepped forward and removed the seals; the heavy iron chains were also removed with a "click."

Yao Wei, Wang Fu, and the others who were locked inside rushed out as if their lives depended on it, and embraced Song Liu'er, weeping bitterly. They truly believed that their lives were over...

Bai Shao cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, "I was so scared!" She tried to keep a straight face, but whenever she felt scared, she would pinch herself hard.

Huajiao also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling utterly weak. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid, but seeing Liu Yuechu's fearless attitude, she could only try to reassure herself that they would eventually escape danger.

Zhang Xinyan was about to leave after removing the seal, but Liu Yuechu stopped him, saying, "You've been sealed off for so long, Commander Zhang, and you want to leave without giving a reason?"

Her attitude was firm; clearly, she wouldn't accept a lack of explanation.

There are still many onlookers watching, and whether the Liu family is innocent or not can only be determined by the officials themselves!

Zhang Xinyan was initially impatient, but remembering Cheng Hai's instructions, he knew this young lady was difficult to deal with.

"The Golden Feather Guard has caught the thief who stole the furs from the Mongolians, and it can be confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with the Liu family."

The onlookers gasped in surprise, and the merchants who had just parted ways with Liu Yuechu almost popped their eyes out!

"If it has nothing to do with the Liu family, then why seal off the Liu family's warehouse? Isn't this just deliberately evading the issue and playing games with people?!"

"Then our payment for the goods was lost for nothing?"

"We've also broken off our partnership with the Liu family..."

Many people regret it, after all, they have suffered greatly because of it!

A murmur arose, as if thousands of bees were buzzing in one's ear.

Zhang Xinyan was already in a bad mood, and the noise only made him more annoyed!

"What's all the noise about? The Golden Feather Guards sealing off the Liu family's warehouse is not a punishment, but a protection measure to prevent anyone from maliciously framing them and taking the opportunity to secretly put stolen goods into the Liu family's warehouse! The Golden Feather Guards will not slander anyone arbitrarily. It's you who think the Liu family is doomed and have all come to break up the alliance and demand money."

"You can only blame yourselves for kicking someone when they're down; you've gotten your just desserts. If anyone still has objections, come with me to the Golden Feather Guard prison for a chat!"

He looked fierce and menacing, and even the whiskers on his chin seemed to gleam with a sharp light.

Instantly, no one dared to speak.

Liu Yuechu stepped forward and quietly asked, "Could Commander Zhang tell us who stole the furs from the Mongolians?"

Zhang Xinyan didn't want to say any more. "You'll find out soon enough!"

Without further ado, he led the Golden Feather Guards away swiftly. Taking over the Wang family's forces wasn't enough; they needed to coordinate with the county government...

With the Golden Feather Guards retreating, Liu Yuechu's tense nerves relaxed a bit, and only then did she feel tired.

She looked at the manager and waiter beside her who were still wiping away tears, "Jingchunlou is opening for a banquet, the whole place is booked, let's have a delicious meal to calm our nerves!"

Wang Fu clapped his hands repeatedly, "Good, good, good, my old back..." He had been peeking through the warehouse window all day, and his legs were almost not his own anymore.

The managers also applauded, and were amazed by Liu Yuechu's rare composure.

When these old folks found out about this, they were terrified and at a loss. She was just a twenty-year-old young woman, yet she was able to handle such a huge situation, remain calm in the face of danger, and even make such a large sum of money.

Those who were originally dissatisfied with Liu Yuechu now worshipped and submitted to her.

That kind of courage and boldness is something most men wouldn't do.

Everyone was overjoyed, but the group of merchants who hadn't left yet were already kicking themselves.

Who would have thought that the Liu family was perfectly fine, yet they suddenly lost a huge sum of money and had nowhere to turn to complain!

So some people tried to step forward and, before the witness left, return the silver and destroy the contract. But Liu Muchi was quick-witted and had already invited the witness into a carriage and taken him directly to a private room in Jingchun Tower.

Liu Yuechu was just about to instruct the shop assistant to return to the Liu family and inform Yuan Cuo.

She turned her head and saw Yuan Cuo holding a food box, looking at her from a corner outside the crowd.

She walked over. "How long have you been here?"

"Just arrived." Yuan Cuo lifted the food box. "It seems my wife doesn't need the soup I've prepared."

Liu Yuechu took his hand and said sweetly, "If they need to go to Jingchunlou, I'll drink the soup my husband makes."

The Liu family held a banquet at Jingchun Tower to celebrate, while over a thousand members of the Wang family were imprisoned.

While there were indeed some wronged individuals involved in the "five clans implicated" system, most were not entirely innocent.

Emperor Qi Xiao ordered the executions to be carried out as soon as possible. Thus, the eldest branch of the family was handed over to the Dali Temple for investigation, while the rest were all handled by the county government. Wei Gongming had no time to marvel at how Liu Yuechu had gotten away with nothing; he was already overwhelmed with work.

Because the Third Prince learned that the affairs of the Mongol people were related to the Wang family, he was so angry that he demanded that he be dealt with to death!

Liu Yuechu also learned at this time that the Wang family had been completely taken down.

“My lord, something is puzzling me.” She looked at Yuan Cuo again.
