Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 302 Entering Beijing

Liu Musheng was also a little dumbfounded. He was terrified just now, but now he's been promoted?

Princess Chen was even more astonished. She knew nothing about the matter and never imagined that Liu Musheng would be promoted. Was she dreaming? She gently pinched herself, but it didn't hurt.

Chen Zhongyao and Liu Musheng didn't want to deal with Liu Musheng anymore and returned to their courtyards to rest. They had been anxious all night, never expecting him to benefit from their misfortune. Where could they reason with him now?

Liu Musheng was also a bit dumbfounded. He had only met the emperor once, and suddenly he was promoted?

He didn't sleep all night, and the next day he went to show off to Huang Wanwan.

Liu Yuechu continued to help Yuan Cuo raise funds, but this time she didn't need to do it secretly; her actions could be exaggerated a little.

Three days later, the prefect of Huaizhou was replaced, and the person who submitted the memorial was naturally Chen Zhongyao again.

Emperor Qi Xiao seized the opportunity and even sent an inspector to Huai Prefecture, actually intending to arrest the other local officials as well...

Liu Musheng spent seven days with Huang Wanwan before leading his cavalry to Huaizhou.

He had no choice but to go this time, because His Majesty had promoted him.

Liu Yuechu, along with Huang Wanwan, Lu Bingyang, and Pei Chun, saw him off at the city gate. Watching her elder brother depart, she couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that my elder brother would reform himself for you and even manage to get a fifth-rank position. I wonder if my father would be furious if he knew?"

He was a renowned painting master in the Great Qi Dynasty.

But a master painter is a master painter; no matter how much His Majesty likes him, he is still a nobody.

Huang Wanwan nudged her shyly, "Are there any outsiders here? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Liu Yuechu didn't care. Regardless of the future, she was determined to have Huang Wanwan as her sister-in-law.

Seeing no sign of Liu Musheng's group along the way, they prepared to return.

Pei Chun suddenly invited, "Why don't we sit at Guiyue Tower? It's been a long time since we last met. Now that you're living in the Princess's residence, we wouldn't dare to come over so abruptly."

"I know nothing about the horse farm. If there's anything, go ask Mu Chi. We have nothing to say." Liu Yuechu didn't want to get too close to them. Right now, she was focused on protecting her pregnancy, and besides, Emperor Qi Xiao was so sensitive that he would definitely have everyone around him watching.

"You heartless woman! I helped your brother with his marriage, otherwise how could he have won the heart of this beauty?" Pei Chun rolled his eyes to the sky.

He has indeed been busy with the marriage arrangements with the Left Chancellor's family these days. The two families have been at odds for many years, and with this marriage suddenly appearing, they are bound to cause trouble and find fault with each other; it's impossible for things to go smoothly.

Huang Wanwan couldn't help but blush; she really had to thank Pei Chun.

But Liu Yuechu wasn't afraid to use this matter to blackmail him, "As far as I know, you haven't been idle at all, you've almost made the Jiang family furious."

"This is not my fault. Jiang Yunjiao is no pushover either. If I hadn't given her a warning beforehand, I wouldn't have had a good life in the future." Pei Chun did not suffer any losses. Since he got engaged to Jiang Yunjiao, his family has indeed paid more attention to him and even sent people to his side to help manage the trivial matters of the Liu family's horse farm.

"Then you can keep busy finding fault. Our Liu family is not short of money. It's not too late to invite us to a restaurant for tea on the day of the profit distribution."

Liu Yuechu refused decisively and got into the carriage with Huang Wanwan.

She had already mobilized the funds in the horse ranch; how could she possibly be discussing matters with Pei Chun and the others at this time?

Otherwise, she would have no excuse if the topic of money came up.

Pei Chun was not saddened by the rejection, and summoned Lu Bingyang and the others to go.

Seeing Liu Yuechu's guilty look, Huang Wanwan asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"You should sort out the Huang family's affairs first, and we'll talk about this later. Don't neglect Uncle Huang either; send him a few letters now and then to check on him." Liu Yuechu was more interested in the situation in the west.

Huang Wanwan, however, was unwilling, saying, "If he wanted to write, he would have."

“You need to send one every now and then. This isn’t to comfort you, but to let the people in your household see it.” Liu Yuechu said quietly, “Don’t think that it’s over just because there are only Aunt Chun and Aunt Tao left in the household. They are invisible thorns that could pop up and stab you at any time. You need your father to keep them in check.”

“I understand you feel awkward, but doing this is good for you. You should consider it yourself.”

Huang Wanwan did drive away a group of filthy scoundrels, but those who remained in the mansion were not necessarily good people either; they were just the tallest among the short.

Some things need to be done gradually; after all, there's a year to go.

Huang Wanwan was indeed unwilling, but she kept her words in mind. "I'll think about it. Anyway, I'm not short of money now, so I don't need to worry about a few taels of silver when I do things!"

"My sister-in-law is really rich and powerful!"

"Stop it……"

The two laughed and joked, and Liu Yuechu first took her back to the Huang family.

Back at the Princess's residence, after exchanging a few words with Princess Chen, Chen Zhongyao hurriedly approached, "Gone?"

Liu Yuechu nodded. "Let's go. There are quite a few people accompanying us this time, so you don't need to worry about him, brother."

Chen Zhongyao responded lightly, clearly wanting to say something, but Princess Chen suddenly became interested and kept bringing up Liu Musheng's marriage, rambling on and on.

"...Suddenly he was chosen by the Huang family's daughter, and then suddenly he was promoted by His Majesty. Do you think it's because the Bodhisattva I prayed to for your mother at the temple recently has answered my prayers? Otherwise, how could all these good things happen to him?"

Princess Chen stared at Chen Zhongyao, her unspoken thought being, "Why is there still no news about my own son's marriage?"

Liu Yuechu pursed her lips and chuckled to herself. Chen Zhongyao pretended not to know, "It's just that the Bodhisattva has appeared. You should go and pray again another day, and pray that your father can return to the capital smoothly and not be accused of any wrongdoing."

"Pah, pah, pah! Nonsense! How can you curse your own father like that!" Princess Chen said fiercely.

"I'm not cursing, I'm expressing concern." Only Liu Yuechu could understand Chen Zhongyao's unspoken message.

“You shouldn’t say that out of concern, you have no manners!” Princess Chen scolded him for a quarter of an hour until her voice was hoarse, and then she went back to her own courtyard to rest.

Liu Yuechu happily saw the princess off.

"Now I know who my brother got his eloquence from."

Governor-General Chen was a fierce and ruthless man, serious and taciturn. Chen Zhongyao inherited the most outstanding characteristics of both him and the princess, being both ruthless and tough, making him a perfect fit as an imperial censor.

"What's so beautiful about you? Prince Chun is arriving in the capital the day after tomorrow. He sent an urgent message to His Majesty today, and the palace is making urgent arrangements to receive him!"

Liu Yuechu was surprised and stunned, "His Majesty's order hasn't been sent out for many days, how come it's about to enter the capital so soon?"

The two looked at each other for a moment and both understood each other's meaning.

"It seems he didn't wait for His Majesty's decree to reach the west before setting off..." Liu Yuechu sighed.

“They’re up to no good, so be prepared.” Chen Zhongyao was unusually serious and earnest. “In my opinion, it would be better if you went with your mother to a village or temple in the suburbs for a period of quiet meditation.”
