Remarrying Chun Yuan

Yuan Cuo asked calmly, "What is it that's puzzling you, my lady?"

Liu Yuechu looked at him and said, "The fur coats that the Mongolians lost have been found. They were stolen by the Wang family, but why are the horses missing? Could it be that they stole the fur coats and the horses separately?" She was very serious.

Yuan Cuo touched his nose. "I'm too stupid to understand this theft. Let's wait and see what the county government says in its announcement." Of course, it was Li Chengyue who stole the Mongol's horse and packed the missing furs into the Wang family's cargo box, secretly transporting them to the capital.

As for how he managed to defeat the city's defenders?

Because the city garrison regularly took silver from the Wang family, they would let it pass without even checking the Wang family's nameplate.

Liu Yuechu couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Brother Chengyue is no longer in the capital, otherwise I would be happy too."

"Hmm?" Yuan Cuo felt guilty. "Why?" Why did she suddenly bring up Li Chengyue?

“Since the Wang family has fallen, Li Shu can no longer marry the Seventh Prince. Isn’t that exactly what he wanted?” Liu Yuechu looked at him with a smile.

Yuan Cuo chuckled, "Yes, it really is..." He thought she had seen through his trick.

Liu Yuechu wouldn't press the matter; she was certain it was related to Yuan Cuo.

But she didn't want to ask how close the connection was.

Since we've already gotten the result we wanted, why bother digging deeper and investigating further?

At this moment, Boss Zhu, who had traveled with Li Chengyue, felt his scalp tingle. "You two have really screwed me over! If I manage to come back with my head, I'm definitely going to file a complaint!"

Li Chengyue looked at the Mongol horse beneath him and laughed heartily. Indeed, a good horse is comfortable to ride. If the entire Qi cavalry were equipped with this, would they still have to worry about not being able to defeat those Mongol barbarians?

"Fortune favors the bold, and none of the methods we've discussed are as good as Brother Yuan's suggestion. Just use the horses from the Mongol people to mate with the horses from the Chu people, and we'll bring back the foals!"

"Stop talking, please stop talking..." Boss Zhu was so scared that his soul almost flew away. He finally understood why Yuan Cuo said that if he could successfully return this time, Cheng Hai would kowtow to him!

He admitted that if this matter succeeded, he would definitely rise to prominence.

The premise is that he can come back...

Li Chengyue was full of confidence: "I really admire Brother Yuan. I can't think of his ideas, and I don't have his courage. Even if he is just a scholar, I, Li Chengyue, am willing to follow him. This is the way to live!"

He squeezed his legs together, uttered a "Giddy up!" and sped away into the distance.

Boss Zhu was on the verge of tears, clearly stuck on a sinking ship with no way out. "Yuan Cuo, you just wait, I'll definitely come back and complain!"

……

Yuan Cuo had just finished a drink with Liu Yuechu and had returned home.

Drunk and infatuated, the two returned home and sent the maids away, brazenly entwining themselves together, becoming one.

When Liu Yuechu woke up in the morning, she felt exhausted all over.

She wanted to scold Yuan Cuo for being too fierce last night, but when she turned her head, she saw that his neck was covered with the little cherries she had planted.

"Huajiao, bring out that high-necked brocade robe for the young master to wear today," she called out.

She didn't want him to go out with his collar and sleeves wide open, letting people see those embarrassing little spots, and who knew how they would laugh at her behind her back.

Yuan Cuo put his large hand on her waist. "You're still drunk, so please allow your father to stay home with you for a day, okay?" He didn't want to go out either.

Liu Yuechu nestled in his arms, indeed exhausted. "We're not going out, not at all today." But she would later instruct Liu Muchi that if the group that had kicked her when she was down came looking for her again, he was not to pay any attention to them.

The two chatted sweetly and then took a short nap.

Liu Yuechu finally got up with great difficulty when she was starving and could no longer bear it.

She took a bath and changed her clothes, imagining herself enjoying delicious food and basking in the sun in the courtyard, the couple spending the whole day together like that.

But plans can't keep up with changes, and someone will always shatter this beautiful dream.

"...Miss Lin and Miss Huang have arrived. Knowing that the young master is still in the courtyard, they asked me to inquire if it would be convenient for them to come in," Bai Shao said.

Yuan Cuo gave an awkward laugh, "You guys chat, I'll go see my brother." He wasn't asking if it was convenient for him; it was clearly a way of telling him to leave.

Besides, he didn't want to chatter along with the women.

Aside from Liu Yuechu, he had no patience for any other woman.

Liu Yuechu instructed him to change into a high-necked brocade robe before going out, and then had Bai Shao bring the two people in.

"Oh dear, our Lady Liu, who rose to fame in one battle, is actually slacking off today? The sun's already high in the sky before she gets out of bed!"

Seeing her radiant and delicate face, how could Lin Mengyu not know what had happened?

But she was still a young woman and was too embarrassed to make fun of him.

Huang Wanwan is very straightforward. Even when she saw the mark on Liu Yuechu's cheek, she thought it was a mosquito bite.

"Don't you even think about how tired I was yesterday? Can't I even take a break? Besides, I'm not slacking off, I'm just taking a break." Liu Yuechu wasn't just being perfunctory.

With the Wang family's property confiscated and the Liu family released, anyone would surely plot another scheme, weaving it into intriguing anecdotes to circulate.

Lin Mengyu only heard about Liu Yuechu's matter last night; it was her father who told her about it when he returned home.

Thinking of how her mother and elder brother's faces changed unpredictably from red to green when they heard about Liu Yuechu's fearless and decisive sweep of the merchants, she felt incredibly embarrassed.

But thinking of the embarrassment her mother and elder brother would feel, Lin Mengyu felt a sense of satisfaction.

They looked down on the Liu family back then and tried every means to stop the marriage, thinking that the Liu family was marrying above their station. But look at them now! Liu Yuechu married Yuan Cuo, an ordinary scholar, and her life is getting happier and happier. It's much more comfortable than being a caged bird in a wealthy family!

"It's a pity I found out too late, otherwise I would definitely have gone to watch how you dominated the scene and intimidated everyone." Lin Mengyu was truly regretful.

Liu Yuechu was both amused and a little scared. "I don't know where I got the confidence from. I just believed that the palace wouldn't make an example of me... After everything was over, I drank three big cups of wine for the first time. I'm still dizzy this morning." As she spoke, the image of Yuan Cuo's drunken recklessness flashed through her mind.

That was perhaps when he was truly himself.

Domineering and unrestrained, with a captivating and wicked charm.

Especially those captivating eyes; Liu Yuechu admitted she couldn't get enough of them.

But once he puts on his brocade robe in the morning, he transforms back into a dashing young gentleman. He truly is a vixen, and vixens don't discriminate between male and female...

Huang Wanwan was also quite saddened. She had met Lin Mengyu at the Liu family's door early in the morning. "I didn't expect the thieves to be the Wang family. They are indeed too bold. I also heard that the reason why their family was removed from the official merchant quota was because the fur materials they sent were getting worse and worse. It has nothing to do with your family."

Her father was assigned to preside over the trial of the Wang family head yesterday. He originally only wanted to investigate the theft of Mongolian furs, but unexpectedly, he was given orders from above to conduct a thorough investigation.

So Lord Huang didn't hold back and interrogated the case for a whole day and night. But to his surprise, the more he interrogated, the more cases there were, and when he returned home in the morning, he felt as if he had shed a layer of skin.

"Serves them right! Those who try to harm others will inevitably be harmed themselves. Their family brought this on themselves!" Lin Mengyu's mouth was sharp, especially since she had bullied Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu pondered for a moment and then asked Huajiao to fetch the few sheets of paper that Li Chengyue had given her. “This is a private note that someone sent me. I can’t tell you who it is, but it lists the major and minor events that have happened in the Wang family in recent years. Take it back to Lord Huang for reference.”
