Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 257 Bastard

Liu Yuechu started chattering away as soon as her lips touched the screen.

Pei Chun was so shocked that his heart skipped a beat. How did this little girl know everything?!

"Keep your voice down, what are you yelling about!"

He didn't tell anyone about this, except for Ye Zinan. Even Lu Bingyang didn't know; she only knew he had a woman, but didn't know he had already given birth!

"I'm speaking to you calmly and patiently. Even the peppercorns stayed far away. I didn't mean to threaten you. I'm genuinely thinking of you," Liu Yuechu said earnestly.

Hearing these cloying words, Pei Chun felt a pang of bitterness. "Ye Zinan isn't married either, why don't you choose him?!"

“First, I’m not familiar with him; second, he’s not as much of a jerk as you.” Liu Yuechu’s reasoning was simple.

Pei Chun: "..." Is this a compliment?

"Are you sure Jiang Yunjiao really has a health problem?" He needed more certain information.

Liu Yuechu took out the dregs of the medicine, "...You can also have the imperial physicians take another look and bear witness."

Pei Chun collected the dregs of the medicine and then stared intently at her.

"Why are you looking at me?" Liu Yuechu breathed a sigh of relief. His willingness to take this item meant that Pei Chun was willing to give it a try.

"I'm thinking, you're such a terrible woman. How could I have been so blind and heartless to fall for you?" he muttered, then got up and left.

He turned back at the courtyard gate, "Don't forget those 20% shares, I can't sell myself for nothing!"

Liu Yuechu nodded in agreement, and he hurriedly left.

Granny Fang and Huajiao came over. "Good heavens! We were so afraid that Young Master Pei might hurt you in his haste. Luckily, he still has some principles and bottom line." Huajiao's hands were trembling with fear.

“He wouldn’t dare,” Liu Yuechu said.

"Why wouldn't he dare?" Huajiao asked, puzzled.

“He knows that Xia Zhi and Gu Yu are the Empress’s people. What if this gets back to them…” Liu Yuechu said quietly.

"So Young Master Pei was just putting on an act? He just wanted to get more benefits on purpose?" Huajiao was extremely shocked.

She really felt that being a maid was just right for her. How come all the people in these official residences, even the most dissolute playboys, were so shrewd and clever?

Granny Fang had already figured it out. "So, you're representing the son-in-law and coming here?" Granny Fang didn't mention "the East Palace."

"It's entirely for self-preservation. The Liu family will always belong to His Majesty, and no one should try to touch them easily." Liu Yuechu naturally wouldn't mention that Yuan Cuo was also His Majesty's son.

Three more days passed.

Liu Yuechu invited Jiang Yunjiao to the Liu residence as a guest, but she was intercepted by Pei Chun on the way.

Pei Chun simply threw the packet of medicine residue into Jiang Yunjiao's carriage, and Jiang Yunjiao obediently followed him to the teahouse.

The two closed the door and argued for a long time.

Jiang Yunjiao was so angry that she fainted.

Pei Chun carried her away from the teahouse without hesitation, all the way to the Imperial Hospital in full view of everyone.

He requested that Physician Sun personally make a house call, and even went so far as to threaten to smash up the Imperial Hospital if he couldn't save him.

As a result, all the imperial physicians gathered.

Jiang Yunjiao's night blindness and her infertility due to her cold constitution finally became known to everyone.

When the news reached the palace, Consort Yu was so angry that she jumped up and down, cursing, "Why would she go to the teahouse with Pei Chun for no reason? Has she gone mad?!"

"I have already arranged a marriage for her. She only needs to wait in the mansion to marry, but she had to cause trouble before the wedding. All my plans are ruined, ruined!"

Consort Yu was furious and summoned the Left Chancellor to the palace for a tirade.

At this time, the Empress naturally learned of Jiang Yunjiao's health condition and personally went to the Imperial Study. "...The Liu family are meritorious officials of the Great Qi, and Liu Zhong is His Majesty's favorite painter. A marriage decree is a joyous occasion, but it cannot be bestowed upon someone who cannot have children. Besides, Liu Zhong only has this one legitimate son."

Emperor Qi Xiao's lips twitched. How could he not know that this was Liu Yuechu's doing?

Previously, Liu Yuechu asked Hou Lai to investigate Jiang Yunjiao. Hou Lai reported to Cheng Hai, who in turn reported to him.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble Liu Yuechu would cause, whether she would come to the palace crying and begging him again.

He even considered how to make Liu Yuechu suffer this humiliation, teach this little girl a lesson, and then grant her a second wife to Liu Musheng so that they could both marry into the Liu family.

But unexpectedly, she managed to persuade Pei Chun, leaving Jiang Yunjiao with nowhere to escape!

"What does the Empress mean? How does she think this matter should be handled properly?" He didn't want to be the villain, and besides, he didn't believe that the Empress wasn't behind this.

"My original intention was to ask Your Majesty to bestow another concubine upon Liu Musheng, so that the Liu family would not suffer any loss, and it would also be a testament to Your Majesty's boundless grace." The Empress accurately grasped Emperor Qi Xiao's thoughts.

Emperor Qi Xiao was satisfied; indeed, the Empress was of one mind with him.

But the Empress changed the subject and brought up Pei Chun again, "But in front of everyone, he carried Jiang Yunjiao into the palace, which shows he was indeed very anxious. He shouldn't be blamed too harshly."

"And he knelt at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital the whole time, promising to take responsibility..."

Needless to say, the next step was to hope that Emperor Qi Xiao would cancel the marriage bestowed upon Consort Yu and instead marry Jiang Yunjiao to Pei Chun.

The daughter of the Left Chancellor marrying the eldest son of the Right Chancellor is a match made in heaven, a perfect union.

"Does the Empress think this marriage is suitable?" Emperor Qi Xiao wanted to summon Liu Yuechu to the palace immediately to see what was going on in her head.

She actually wanted to arrange a marriage between these two sworn enemies! Wouldn't Jiang Jiuwei and Pei Shaowu fight her to the death?!

"This matter requires careful consideration. Neither of them are my children, and I cannot force a decision on them. Wouldn't that cause resentment between the two families? Your Majesty, allow me to think about it. There's no need to rush."

Emperor Qi Xiao wanted to delay.

"The Crown Princess has already conveyed the Pei family's intentions to me. They have accepted it and are willing to marry the daughter of the Left Chancellor. They will not allow such a charming woman to cause trouble." The Empress stated her position, giving the Left Chancellor's family a way out. After saying this, she took her leave.

As soon as the Empress left, Emperor Qi Xiao couldn't help but pound his chest. He roared at Cheng Hai to go and bring Liu Yuechu back!

"If this little girl isn't disciplined soon, what will she do to my grandson and the child in her womb? It's going too far!" He had never been so angry before!

A mere merchant woman managed to outmaneuver both the Left and Right Chancellors?! Will she one day even outsmart the Emperor?!

Cheng Hai didn't dare to delay and rushed to the Liu family to personally escort Liu Yuechu into the palace.

"Have you thought about how you're going to cry? Do you want to prepare yourself first?" Cheng Hai saw that she looked very complicated and really didn't know how her little brain was structured.

Liu Yuechu asked seriously, "Why should I cry?"

"If His Majesty doesn't shed a couple of tears, he probably won't let Lady Liu off easily. If I may be so bold, you've gone too far astray in this matter!" Cheng Hai was speechless.

Liu Yuechu shrugged. "Being pregnant, I can't cry easily. It will hurt my eyes and the baby's eyes too."

Still so stubborn? Cheng Hai couldn't help but admire her; he'd just have to see how she dealt with Emperor Qi Xiao.

Upon arriving at the palace, Liu Yuechu was secretly led into the Imperial Study.

Before Emperor Qi Xiao could slam his fist on the table in anger, Liu Yuechu directly presented a letter, stating, "It's not that I'm targeting the Jiang family, but rather that I have no choice but to."

"If the Liu family is truly under their control, Your Majesty... you shall see for yourself."
