Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 234 Target

Liu Musheng looked at Liu Yuechu, wanting to speak but not daring to.

He hesitated several times before giving up. "Forget it, you don't need to know. Anyway, I've already agreed to the marriage with the Left Chancellor's family. The imperial decree for the marriage will be issued soon, but we'll have to wait until a year after my grandmother's death."

"I don't know if I'm lucky or not. I don't know where my father is. Is he still alive? It seems like we haven't heard from him in a long time."

He muttered something about his irresponsible father, then dejectedly returned to his own courtyard, looking as if he had lost his soul.

Liu Yuechu scratched her head. "Who has he taken a fancy to?" If it were in the past, if he could have the daughter of the Left Chancellor as his wife, my brother would be jumping for joy and unable to sleep.

She was really curious, but she couldn't figure it out.

After a moment of surprise, Granny Fang looked on incredulously, "With your usually sharp mind, how could you not have noticed?"

Liu Yuechu looked bewildered: "What did I see?"

Granny Fang was both amused and exasperated. "Our young master has feelings for Miss Huang. Haven't you noticed that whenever Miss Huang comes over, no matter how late it is, he always makes sure to show his face?"

Liu Yuechu suddenly realized, then refused to believe it, "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't he hate Wanwan's fiery personality the most? Back then, he was so distraught about marrying Fang Ziqing that he even got beaten by Wanwan. How could he possibly like Wanwan!"

“It’s actually possible.” Huajiao also recovered his senses. “Every time the young master comes back, he asks if you are here and who is in the courtyard. He wasn’t this enthusiastic about the master before.”

"And lately he's been making a point of dressing up, and he always tries to show off in front of his master how capable he is, how energetic he is." Xia Zhi noticed this as well.

Granny Fang said confidently, "Do you see that? You're the only one who can't see it; everyone else can."

Liu Yuechu: "...I thought he had changed his ways and was striving for advancement, but it turns out he was plotting something?!" She really hadn't expected that. "No wonder he wouldn't say his sweetheart's name in the palace. Wanwan won't marry him. If I did, I might lose my best friend too." Liu Yuechu couldn't help but sigh.

“You’re wrong again. Miss Wanwan might also have some feelings for our young master, otherwise she wouldn’t have left first,” Granny Fang retorted.

Liu Yuechu touched her nose; she simply couldn't connect the two people.

If they really became a couple, how lively would their lives be? At the very least, chaos and turmoil would be inevitable.

"Isn't it a bit too late for us to know now?" The palace has already provided people, and it's definitely not a good time to let Huang Wanwan be used as a target.

"We still need to find out why this young lady from the Left Chancellor's family agreed to a marriage alliance with our family. Is the price she's paying a bit too high?" Liu Yuechu refocused her thoughts and began to ponder how to respond.

Granny Fang nodded. "It is indeed somewhat unexpected."

"Did Zhongyao find out?"

"I sent a message, but haven't received a response yet."

Liu Yuechu found an excuse to send Xia Zhi and Gu Yu away, and then summoned Hou Lai, saying, "I need to know every detail about this young lady."

Hou Lai, nonchalantly eating, said, "You've already told Gu Yu and Xia Zhi about this, so isn't it just waiting for the Empress to take action? Do we really need to investigate ourselves?"

Liu Yuechu sighed. He actually saw through her?

"We need to know whether the Empress will intervene or not, otherwise we won't know how to deal with it if they really help us."

It would indeed be difficult for her to deal with the daughter of the Left Chancellor as her sister-in-law. Besides, she had already gotten used to the leisurely and carefree life in the mansion. If such a sister-in-law came, it would be like a cage enveloping the Liu family. She didn't want to return to the scheming and intrigue of her previous life.

Hou disappeared in the blink of an eye, clearly off to gossip.

At this moment, Consort Yu was talking to the Third Prince in the palace with great satisfaction.

"I have already done what you wanted to do, and your father has no objection. Moreover, Liu Musheng has already agreed."

"Actually, I really can't bear to part with Jiao'er, but she just happens to be the most suitable one."

That was her own niece, her eldest brother's youngest daughter...

"I have no intention of taking advantage of her. I am doing this for her own good. No wealthy family would tolerate her illness. Besides, if she marries into the Liu family, she can become the matriarch and live a very comfortable life," Qin Muyan said directly.

Consort Yu looked around and lowered her voice, "What illness? It's just a minor problem for her. As long as she doesn't say anything, who can tell?"

"No matter how well you hide it, it's useless. If you start living together, it will be discovered sooner or later." Qin Muyan didn't want his uncle's mansion to hold him hostage, as if he had invested a huge debt.

Consort Yu wasn't very confident either. Her little niece was perfect in every way, except that she was born without an organ and couldn't have children.

Moreover, she also suffers from night blindness; at night, she is like a blind person, unable to see anything.

That is why Jiang Yunjiao rarely went out since childhood. She seemed to be proficient in all the arts, but she never left the house. In fact, her family did not want to expose her illness, so as to avoid making it difficult for her to find a husband in the future.

I thought that after seeking medical treatment everywhere over the years, I would finally find a good cure. Even if it couldn't cure my fertility problem, I would at least be able to see clearly at night.

But somehow, fate just seemed to be against us.

No matter how many rare and precious medicinal herbs were used, it was all ineffective, and anyone who couldn't cure her was killed to prevent the illness from being revealed.

The youngest daughter of the Left Chancellor should have been engaged and betrothed by the age of thirteen. The reason she was still not engaged after reaching the age of sixteen was because of this matter.

"I think Liu Musheng is a coward. Even if he finds out in the future, he won't dare to speak up. As long as I occupy the position of mistress, I can just choose two more beautiful women as concubines. If they have children, they can be registered under Jiao'er's name. It won't hurt the Liu family."

Qin Muyan had nothing to say.

Because apart from Jiang Yujiao, there were indeed no other women of marriageable age who were close to him and available to the Liu family.

"In that case, issue the decree as soon as possible to avoid any trouble from the Crown Prince's side. I will also send them an important congratulatory gift."

Consort Yu looked at Qin Muyan with affection, sighing that her perfectly good son had suddenly gone from a prince to a duke.

"Don't worry, your father was just angry for a moment. After some time has passed, your mother will definitely find an opportunity to help you regain your title of prince."

Qin Muyan merely echoed his sentiments; he was no longer concerned.

If one could truly gain a foothold in the Liu family's businesses, with no shortage of money, even a prince or duke could secure a place in the imperial court.

Moreover, the only way he could seize the position of Crown Prince was by force.

If you're going to rob someone, why would you care about titles?

"Mother, you should also appease Liu Yuechu. It would be best to have Yun Jiao try to make friendly contact with her first. She's a troublemaker, and if she's not happy with Yun Jiao's entry into the family, she'll definitely cause a huge scene."
