Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 256 Deception

The three women huddled together, whispering and discussing countermeasures. None of them hid their dark side, and they came up with all sorts of dirty tricks!

Regardless of whether the plan was actually implemented, the three of them had a good chat and released all their pent-up emotions.

The three best friends discussed things until nightfall. Lu Bingyang came to pick up Lin Mengyu and also took Huang Wanwan home.

As Liu Yuechu watched her get into the carriage, she added, "My elder brother suggested giving me all the money because he wanted to invest it all in our teahouse... He truly cares about you."

"If this matter can be handled properly, would you consider marrying him?"

Huang Wanwan didn't expect her to ask so directly, "Even if I were willing, it wouldn't be that easy."

Would her father agree?

Are Huang's other relatives happy about this?

Moreover, even if the marriage between Liu Musheng and the Left Chancellor's family falls apart and Consort Yu abolishes the bestowed marriage, her involvement is tantamount to selecting a future team for the Dali Temple Minister's family, which is not such a simple matter.

"As long as you're willing, we'll figure out the rest step by step." Liu Yuechu didn't pressure her.

Huang Wanwan blushed and climbed into the carriage.

Granny Fang was terrified as she thought about what they had discussed. "My goodness, are you sure that method will work?" She was scared just listening to them and thought the three girls had gone mad!

Unexpectedly, the two of them found Liu Yuechu's proposed method to be very ingenious.

"Fang Ziqing has already come down to ask the Liu family's attitude, how can I not take advantage of the situation and drag them down with me? Besides, if this succeeds, my elder brother will be eternally grateful to me!" Liu Yuechu was also surprised that she could be so wicked!

Granny Fang just wanted to chant "Amitabha Buddha" and hoped that Princess Chen would return soon to take charge of the situation, otherwise Liu Yuechu would make a huge mess of the capital!

The next morning, Huang Wanwan went to the palace to see Fang Ziqing.

The two of them whispered to each other all morning.

Left with no other option, Fang Ziqing went directly to see the Empress. She explained Liu Yuechu's intentions and methods.

The Empress was also surprised that Liu Yuechu would come up with such a bizarre idea. "How does her brain work?"

Fang Ziqing dared not speak, much less show any attitude. But she admired Liu Yuechu in her heart; she was bold enough to drag everyone down with her, and no one could just watch the Liu family make a fool of themselves.

The Empress did not immediately express her opinion, but deliberated for a day before summoning the Crown Princess...

Upon hearing the Empress's order, the Crown Princess immediately blushed and exclaimed, "This is utterly despicable..."

The Empress picked up her teacup and sipped it slowly. She didn't care whether the Crown Princess was happy or not. "Your younger brother has caused trouble all these years. Every time, wasn't it the Crown Prince who stepped in to help resolve it?"

"Do you think your Right Chancellor's office alone can save face?"

"If the Crown Prince supports him, he will do his best for the Crown Prince."

The Empress said these few words in a calm tone and then dismissed the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess returned to the palace and angrily smashed several things, but she still swallowed her anger and waited for the Right Chancellor to come and convey the Empress's message.

The Right Chancellor, being shrewd and calculating, was not surprised by these words. He simply inquired a couple more about his daughter's health and then told her that she no longer needed to interfere.

The Right Chancellor returned home and summoned Pei Chun alone...

The next morning, before Liu Yuechu had even woken up, she heard a noisy commotion outside the door.

"Liu Yuechu, you get out here right now! You came up with such a terrible idea, you actually told me to threaten that Jiang Yunjiao?!"

Upon hearing the Right Chancellor's words yesterday, he immediately suspected that this tactic might have originated from Liu Yuechu.

She had Pei Chun use Jiang Yunjiao's dark history to blackmail her into marrying into the Right Chancellor's household and breaking off her engagement with Liu Musheng... Only Liu Yuechu could come up with such a selfish and harmful trick!

Liu Yuechu got up wearily, but Granny Fang stopped Pei Chun, saying, "This is the master's courtyard, Young Master Pei cannot just barge in!"

"She threw me out to take the fall, so I should be prepared to get beaten up! I really underestimated her; she'd actually resort to such tactics!"

"Your Liu family is already in trouble, and you even dragged me into it!"

"You really are Liu Musheng's good sister. I'm so envious of your ancestors for eight generations!"

……

He didn't force his way into the house, for both reason and emotion; he just cursed in the yard.

Liu Yuechu rinsed her mouth and washed her face, then simply put on a wide robe and went outside. "If you agree, I'll give you an extra ten percent of the horse farm." She was decisive and gave him the money directly.

Pei Chun shouted angrily, "Do you think I'm short of money? You're insulting me!"

"Twenty percent!" Liu Yuechu held up two fingers.

"I probably won't do it either!" Pei Chun said fiercely, sitting down on a chair in the courtyard and drinking the tea in one gulp.

Liu Yuechu pouted, "Eighty percent? Jiang Yunjiao doesn't even deserve it."

Pei Chun felt a surge of anger in his chest and couldn't swallow his resentment. "You know perfectly well that I like you, yet you still arranged for me to marry such a disgusting shrew. Do you even have a heart?!"

If it's just an exchange of benefits, he doesn't mind.

What bothered him was the matter that Liu Yuechu had brought up, which chilled him to the bone.

“I’m doing this all out for you, don’t be ungrateful.” Liu Yuechu sat under the shade of a tree, speaking slowly. “Now, Lu Bingyang is able to run the horse farm, and he has also selected horse breeds for the army. He’s doing very well. Ye Zinan is partnering with him, and all the horse-loving families in the capital are contacting him. He also knows the operation routes inside and out.”

“You’re the only one who’s useful, except for taking a 10% share.” Liu Yuechu bluntly exposed his shortcomings.

Pei Chun hadn't expected her to hit him so hard. "If you want to kick me out, just say so. I don't care about that ten percent of the silver from your horse farm!"

“You may not care, but does the Right Chancellor’s Mansion not care? Does the Crown Prince not care?” When Liu Yuechu came up with this idea yesterday, she also thought about how to persuade Pei Chun to agree. “You’ve settled the matter with Jiang Yunjiao, which has helped the Crown Prince keep the Liu family’s money from going elsewhere. This is a great achievement.”

"I dare say that besides getting more money and shares from me, the Crown Prince will also give you a position. You'll be able to hold your head high in the Right Chancellor's office, instead of always being scolded by the Right Chancellor as a good-for-nothing wastrel!"

Pei Chun's mind stirred; in fact, his father had made the same promise.

"You really dare to go to such lengths for me... making me marry Jiang Yunjiao, who can't have children. How am I supposed to have children and continue the family line?" he said angrily.

"Your household isn't lacking in wives either. As far as I know, don't you already have three illegitimate sons and one illegitimate daughter?" Liu Yuechu smiled, having already investigated Pei Chun thoroughly!

"If you handle this matter well, you can also negotiate with your father to allow the three children outside to return home."

"Your bloodline, Young Master Pei, can't just wander aimlessly forever, can you? You were at least reincarnated as your offspring, and if you're not recognized, you've committed a grave sin and are utterly irresponsible as a man!"
