Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 276 Deceiving Her

"Bring Yan-ge'er? You said Yan-ge'er is in our mansion?" Liu Yuechu was startled and asked hurriedly.

The gatekeeper shook his head vigorously. "I didn't say anything. I said I didn't know any Yan-ge'er, and there's no such person in the manor. Then that lady wanted to see you, so I said I'd come in to ask if you were awake. I've been feeling very tired lately, and the young master is being restless."

"You're smart." Liu Yuechu breathed a sigh of relief.

The doorman chuckled, naturally pleased to be praised.

"What do we do now? Should we see Madam Ding?" Lin Mengyu hesitated.

Liu Yuechu made a decisive decision: "I won't see her."

"You should go home quickly too. Maybe after you leave here, they'll go to the Lu family to ask if you know where you are. Just pretend you don't know." Lin Mengyu had also been to the Huang family today and had become closer to Huang Wanwan before.

"You're right, I'll go now." Lin Mengyu didn't delay any longer and ran to the side door without saying another word.

The gatekeeper was also waiting for Liu Yuechu's reply. After thinking for a moment, Liu Yuechu instructed Xia Zhi, "Just say that I am pregnant and vomiting, and have just fallen asleep. I cannot see guests. As for Yan Ge'er, he knows nothing about him."

"Master, won't this offend the Duke of Jingguo's mansion?" Gu Yu asked worriedly from the side.

"We don't know what's going on with the Huang family yet, so naturally we can't see such troublesome people. Besides, I've already offended the Duke of Jing's mansion, so it won't make a difference if we meet again soon." Liu Yuechu sniffed.

Xia Zhi and Gu Yu arrived at the manor later, so they naturally didn't know that she had rejected the young master of the Duke of Jingguo before their marriage.

Hearing this, Xia Zhi could only follow the gatekeeper to reply. After all, she came from the Empress's palace; not only was she quick-witted, but her background could also help Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu got up and went into the inner room.

Actually, Yan Ge'er was fast asleep.

The maids in the manor took turns playing with him, and he was all smiles until he finally fell asleep from exhaustion. Sadly, the child was unaware that his mother had already passed away…

"Where's my older brother? Didn't he come back with them?" Liu Yuechu asked Liu Musheng.

“My elder brother met Young Master Pei on the way, and the two of them went to a restaurant and haven’t returned,” Liu Yuechan hurriedly said. “He really has a lot of free time to go drinking at a time like this.”

Now that they've gotten closer, Liu Yuechan even dares to complain a bit about her older brother.

Liu Yuechu was a little puzzled. What did Pei Chun want to do at this time?

Pei Chun was drinking heavily, pot after pot of wine, as if he wanted to get completely drunk.

Seeing that he was really getting worked up, Liu Musheng quickly snatched the wine jar away. "Even if I said I'd treat you, you can't keep drinking like this, can you? I'm leaving the capital tomorrow, so tell me what you need to say quickly. I need to go home and make preparations!" He was indeed absent-minded, but unfortunately, he was thinking about Huang Wanwan.

"You're leaving anyway, what's wrong with having a drink with me?" Pei Chun was very dissatisfied.

"It's not like I'm never coming back. Why make it sound like we're parting forever?" Liu Musheng was already considering whether he should go and return quickly.

It would be even better if Liu Yuechu were willing to have someone else make the trip... but he also knew in his heart that it was wishful thinking.

"Huh? You're coming back?" Pei Chun's hand froze. "Didn't you say you wanted to travel the world and make the world your home?" This was what Liu Musheng and his brothers had said when they were drinking earlier.

"You believe what he's saying when he's drunk?" Liu Musheng naturally denied it.

Pei Chun slammed the wine jar down on the table. "Liu Musheng, I'm engaged to Jiang Yunjiao, the one you didn't want."

"Huh? So fast?" Liu Musheng felt a little guilty about this.

He knew that Liu Yuechu was behind this, but it was his own brother who was being framed.

“Sometimes I really don’t understand. Is the young master of my Left Chancellor’s mansion inferior to the eldest son of your Liu family? The palace can’t stand that you married someone who can’t have children, but they don’t care that I married someone…” Pei Chun has recovered a bit in the last two days, but he still can’t understand this matter.

Liu Musheng shrugged. "Ask me? I don't even understand when I became so important." He wasn't lying.

I used to be a carefree slacker, but who knew I'd be working so hard now? It feels like a dream. Sometimes when I think back to the awful things I did in the past, I can't even apply them to myself anymore.

"It seems to have started when your cheap brother-in-law came up with the idea of ​​opening a horse farm." Pei Chun thought carefully, but that was all he could think of.

Moreover, it wasn't just Liu Musheng who reformed; the others also started doing some legitimate things.

"My brother-in-law is indeed a good man." Liu Musheng had nothing but praise for Yuan Cuo.

It's a pity he wasn't here; otherwise, the affairs of the Huang and Jiang families would have been handled more satisfactorily.

But he dared not say that; if he did, his sister would beat him to death.

But if Liu Yuechu heard this, she would wholeheartedly agree. Can a biological son and a daughter-in-law be treated the same? Yuan Cuo didn't need to stage such a dramatic scene of crying and complaining to Emperor Qi Xiao…

"So, could you take me with you this time?" Pei Chun suddenly suggested.

"Huh? No way! You're someone who's supposed to be engaged. If you run off with me, people will say you're eloping. No way, absolutely not." Liu Musheng refused completely.

Pei Chun couldn't help but punch him. "Can't you let me indulge myself a little before I jump into the fire?"

"The horse farm gave you extra money, so don't complain about getting a good deal!" Liu Musheng knew exactly what his sister's offer was.

Pei Chun sighed, "That money won't end up in my pocket anyway, so what's there to be happy about?"

"Why?"

"If the money is to be returned to the household and distributed by the household, at most it will be less difficult for me to ask the household for money in the future."

"..." It's so miserable.

Liu Musheng thought about it carefully, "How about you save some money on your own?"

"How can I hide it? From now on, I'll have to have an accountant and steward by my side. I won't be as free as before when I only took 10%." Pei Chun had been summoned by his father a few days ago to make arrangements, which was why he felt so frustrated.

"Yes, it is possible," Liu Musheng said. "Let me ask my brother-in-law; he'll definitely have a way!"

Pei Chun's eyes lit up, as if his future wasn't so bleak after all, and he happily started drinking.

At this very moment, Madam Ding searched through all the residences where Huang Wanwan had interacted, but still couldn't find out Huang Yan's whereabouts.

"...Where on earth could that brat hide Yan-ge'er? How dare she be so bold? He's her own brother!"

"It is indeed surprising, but Miss Wanwan doesn't have any other friends, does she?" Aunt Liang really couldn't recall.

After much deliberation, Ding Huangshi still thought of Liu Yuechu. "She must still be at the Liu family's house, otherwise Liu Yuechu wouldn't refuse to see me."

“...Or should this old servant go and ask again?” Aunt Liang said.

“You won’t even see me, what’s the point of you going?” Ding Huangshi thought for a moment, “Go to the Huang residence and tell them that Yan’er is with me and that I took him to the Duke’s mansion.”

"First, see what that girl says, then keep an eye on who she contacts and where she goes..."

Aunt Liang immediately accepted the order and went straight to the Huang family.
