Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 216 Vacation

The incense was delivered to the Imperial Household Department by Liu Yuechu, and then distributed to the ladies by Eunuch Hua.

The items used by Consort Tong were gifts from Consort Yu.

But since she made a mistake, she couldn't blame it on Consort Yu, so she could only shift the responsibility to Liu Yuechu.

With her causing such a commotion, the ladies of the harem naturally dared not use items from the Yan Kingdom so easily anymore.

Princess Luoyue further urged Consort Tong to have the imperial physician check if it was poisoned, "...I didn't mean for Liu Yuechu to poison you intentionally, I was just afraid that the Yan people had tampered with it."

"They always deal in all sorts of strange and exotic treasures, so be careful they don't get you into trouble again!"

Consort Tong was unbearably itchy, her body covered in red spots. She immediately summoned the Golden Feather Guards, demanding punishment, "Seal off all of the Liu family's businesses and investigate thoroughly! They're sending all sorts of items into the palace; she's deliberately trying to frame me! Your Majesty, you must avenge me!"

She wept bitterly, her face streaked with tears.

There was some redness on her neck, and when she gently scratched it, a patch of red bumps appeared.

Consort Tong was terrified and immediately summoned the imperial physician. The physician prescribed medicine, and after taking it and resting, the itching subsided. Unfortunately, the red bumps on her body wouldn't go away and were even spreading more and more…

When Liu Yuechu heard that the trading company had been sealed off by the Golden Feather Guards, she cursed a thousand times in her heart.

Although she knew that Eunuch Hua and Consort Tong would seek revenge, she never expected that they would use items from the Yan Kingdom to make a raft.

Song Liu'er jumped up and down anxiously, "There are still many shops waiting for our supply of goods. Now the shops are closed, and we can't take out the goods. Moreover, the news of Consort Tong's allergy has spread far and wide. Many shops outside have taken Yan Kingdom incense and want to return it!"

“The incense from Yan is three times more expensive than ours. If we really lose everything, we’ll have to cut off a huge chunk of our profits,” Yao Wei said.

“It’s just an allergic reaction. It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something wrong with the incense. It’s more likely that Consort Tong has a health problem. We can’t blame it all on us!” Wang Fu protested from the side.

"You make it sound so easy. When has the palace ever followed any rules? They just decide if you're guilty and you're guilty. Right now, they've only sealed off the shop. We should be grateful they haven't arrested the master and brought him to the palace for questioning!" Song Liu'er said, her hands clasped behind her back, her face full of resentment.

"Master, what should we do now?" Yao Wei was still very worried. "The trading company is closed, and many things can't progress. We can't just wait for news from the palace. Why don't we go and ask them?"

Wang Fu also had the same thought, but he dared not say it, and could only watch quietly from the sidelines. The current Liu Yuechu was not someone he could speak of...

Liu Yuechu did not answer them immediately. She then summoned Liu Yuechan and asked, "Can you test what ingredients are in this incense?"

She did indeed have a fragrance recipe sent by the Yan Kingdom, and according to the recipe, it was compatible with the constitutions of the ladies in the palace.

Before giving her gifts, she specifically inquired with Physician Sun about the ladies' preferences...

Now that a problem has arisen, it's either that the incense is faulty and doesn't match the recipe, or that Consort Tong is deliberately making things difficult. She needs to find out the truth.

Liu Yuechan shook her head cautiously, "Second sister, I don't have that ability yet, and neither does Master. I'm afraid only brother-in-law can do it."

Liu Yuechu: "..."

So the entire Imperial Medical Academy is inferior to Yuan Cuo?

“Then let’s wait for him to come back.” Liu Yuechu looked at the managers who were standing there dumbfounded, waiting for her instructions. “Anyway, the shop is sealed off. You’ve been working hard day and night, so just consider it a few days off… Your monthly allowance will still be paid as usual. Those who want to go out can go out and have some fun. Since the seal is on, it’s not going to be removed in a short time.”

"..."

The group exchanged glances, unable to say anything, after all, their master was not short of money.

Liu Yuechu leisurely returned to "Yuanchu Pavilion". She took a rare day off and invited Liu Yuechan to bask in the sun in the courtyard and have afternoon tea together.

Liu Yuechan's hands didn't stop either; she took the medicinal ingredients to make plasters.

This plaster was prepared specifically for Yuwen Chan. He had hurriedly fled from the Liu family before writing a letter to the Liu family, specifically requesting that Liu Yuechan make this small plaster by hand.

The courtyard was filled with the aroma of tea and a dazzling array of fruits.

Liu Yuechu listened to her younger sister's rhythmic tapping of the small pestle and fell asleep in the courtyard.

Fortunately, it was already early summer, and the weather was just right.

When Yuan Cuo returned, the sun was just beginning to set. Seeing Liu Yuechu sleeping so soundly, he deliberately made his footsteps softer.

Liu Yuechan gave Liu Yuechu a cloak to cover herself, and then quietly told him about Liu Yuechu's plan to analyze the incense.

Yuan Cuo nodded slightly and busied himself with Liu Yuechan on the side.

When Liu Yuechu woke up, the sun had already set in the west, and the moon hung in the misty sky.

"came back?"

"Did you wake up hungry?" Yuan Cuo got up and approached.

He sat in the rocking chair and held her in his arms. Liu Yuechu was somewhat greedy for the warmth of his embrace. Although she nodded to admit that she was hungry, she did not want to move at all.

"The incense from Yan Kingdom is exactly the same as the recipe." He slowly stroked her long hair, his large hand gently.

Liu Yuechu wasn't surprised. "As expected, they were deliberately picking a fight."

"So what do you plan to do?" Yuan Cuo wasn't worried at all. In his eyes, there seemed to be nothing Liu Yuechu couldn't do. He wondered how her brain worked, always coming up with all sorts of strange ideas.

Liu Yuechu was exhausted. "I'll rest for a bit and then we'll talk. I keep dreaming about my father lately, and I don't know why."

She had dreamt about it the night before last, and just now, after taking a short nap, she dreamt again that her father had returned.

She had never believed in dreams, but the dream she had was indeed quite bizarre.

Yuan Cuo also agreed to let her rest, "It's just closing down the trading company, it won't delay your elder brother's horse farm. The furs from Mongolia have already been sent to the palace in the spring, and the summer ones can be sent or not... Quitting is also a very good tactic."

Liu Yuechu raised an eyebrow. "Is this telling me to give up and do whatever I want?"

"He pampers his woman, and I will pamper mine. How about I stand up for you this time?" Yuan Cuo rarely made such a request.

Liu Yuechu was somewhat surprised, "Why are you suddenly going to stand up for me? When did you become so confident?"

Yuan Cuo hesitated for a moment, then said, "You'll find out sooner or later, no rush."

Liu Yuechu snorted coldly, losing all interest in clinging to her. She was so hungry that she got up from her embrace and ordered Huajiao to set out the meal.

For three consecutive days, the Liu family remained calm and undisturbed.

While they could feel at ease, Eunuch Hua and Consort Tong could not.

"The Liu family's shops were shut down, and they didn't even come to talk to you about it?" Consort Tong thought that Liu Yuechu would immediately go to the palace to cry to Eunuch Hua, or come to her palace to beg for forgiveness.

Unexpectedly, the young woman remained silent, as if nothing had happened.

Eunuch Hua shook his head. "They didn't come looking for us, and the head stewards of the Liu family have all gone on a trip out of the capital with their families. They didn't take it seriously at all!"

Consort Tong gritted her teeth; this silent resistance was the greatest contempt!

"This Liu Yuechu is deliberately going against me. I'm about to see His Majesty, so I must teach her a lesson!"
