Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 392 Marriage

Li Shu received the kite and wept bitterly.

She chased everyone out and locked herself in her room alone.

Madam Li and her maids listened silently outside for the entire night.

Cries, smashing, and cursing rose and fell, but thankfully the noise never stopped, proving that she hadn't lost her temper and tried to kill herself.

The sky gradually brightened from darkness.

Orange sunlight rose from the horizon, illuminating the entire earth.

Li Shu finally emerged from the house, completely exhausted.

She threw herself into Madam Li's arms, murmuring only one word, "Home, Mother, I want to go home..."

Madam Li nodded repeatedly, sobbing uncontrollably.

She hurriedly summoned the maids and servants to help Li Shu up. As she left, she caught a glimpse of the room and saw that the kite had been torn to shreds, the pieces of paper barely bigger than grains of rice.

Madam Li felt a pang of sadness; after all, this was a kite that Liu Zhong had made for Liu Yuechu himself.

Liu Zhong's works are all priceless treasures, beyond measure in monetary terms. The debt of gratitude owed to Liu Yuechu is far too great; his family has no idea how they can ever repay it.

……

Li Shu returned home and pressed her fingerprint on the divorce papers.

After receiving the document, Wei Gongming, leaning on his crutches, went to petition His Majesty to pardon Li Chengyue, and everything fell into place naturally.

Li Chengyue did not go home immediately after leaving the palace; instead, he went straight to the Liu residence.

“I know how important that kite is to the two of you. I will remember this favor. For the rest of my life, this life belongs to your Liu family.”

He heard it from Eunuch Cheng, who told him how complicated the process was to get the divorce papers signed.

Li Chengyue had long given up hope that his mentally challenged younger sister would come to her senses. When he learned that she blamed everything on Liu Yuechu's marriage selection and even took back the kite from back then, he felt that she was doomed for life.

But while blaming his sister was one thing, it was also necessary to be grateful for the kindness of the Liu family.

Yuan Cuo touched his nose. "There's no need to be so polite."

“No, I, Li Chengyue, always keep my word, and I don’t want to owe you such a big favor.” Li Chengyue was already determined.

Liu Yuechu couldn't help but giggle, "You should tell Brother Li the truth, otherwise he'll be carrying such a heavy burden, and we won't be able to face him in the future."

Li Chengyue: "??? What do you mean? What truth?"

Yuan Cuo looked up at the sky. "There's a gentle breeze today; it's perfect for flying kites."

Li Chengyue: "..." He was getting so serious about business, and Yuan Cuo suddenly brought up flying kites?!

Hou Lai, grinning from side to side, immediately ran into the house and retrieved the kite.

Li Chengyue was bored and somewhat resentful, but when he saw the kite that was taken out, he was dumbfounded, "This, this..."

"Go ahead and fly them. We have a lot of kites at home, and they were all painted by my father-in-law." Yuan Cuo smiled, picked one up, and waved it in front of the two little ones, teasing them.

Li Chengyue was utterly speechless.

Why do I always feel like a complete idiot in front of these two people?

But after thinking about it for a while, he laughed and said, "Great, really great!"

Li Shu's foolishness is truly unworthy of being cured with a real kite. Liu Yuechu and Yuan Cuo are also sincere people; they didn't use this incident to manipulate him, making him risk his life to become a tool for life.

"Speaking of which, after their divorce, Wei Gongming left the capital overnight, fearing that I would come after him again once I was released today."

Speaking of this person, Li Chengyue was full of disdain, "With such audacity, he still wants to stand out from the crowd? He can forget about getting the title of Marquis of Zhenning in his lifetime; he can only wear the title of heir for the rest of his life."

Yuan Cuo thought for a moment, "We can still refute it, it just depends on which path he chooses."

Li Chengyue was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Yuan Cuo.

The moment their eyes met, they both thought of the same thing.

But that matter is rather sensitive, and I don't know if I should bring it up now.

Li Chengyue was an impatient man and still wanted to talk to Yuan Cuo alone in the study. But before he could speak, Liu Musheng rushed over.

He was panting heavily, as if he were fleeing for his life, his voice so hoarse that he couldn't utter a single word.

"Did you see a ghost? Why are you so scared? It's broad daylight, why are you so frightened?" Liu Yuechu immediately told the nanny to take the little dumpling and the little bun back into the house, afraid that they would be frightened again if they saw Liu Musheng fleeing in such a sorry state.

Liu Musheng waved his hands repeatedly, "You're the one who saw a ghost! That...that's much scarier than a ghost!"

"Tell me slowly what's going on." Li Chengyue rarely saw him so surprised, after all, Liu Musheng was no ordinary person at this time, and now the breeding of horses in Daqi depended entirely on him.

"Wanwan's father is back, Huang Fan is back!" Liu Musheng calmed himself down before saying this. "Can I talk about marriage now? What should I do? Who should I go to now? Please give me some advice."

Liu Yuechu was surprised; she hadn't expected Huang Fan to come back.

She looked at Yuan Cuo, who was unaware of this beforehand. "Perhaps he returned because of your marriage to Miss Wanwan? The palace did not summon him back to the capital to report on his duties."

“So this matter must be handled immediately!” Liu Musheng looked at Liu Yuechu. “You will accompany me to the Princess’s residence. We must ask the Princess to help with the marriage proposal. What other rules are there? Tell me.”

Liu Yuechu scratched her head. "Then I'll go change my clothes. This is a big deal, after all. And should we talk to Wanwan first and see what her father thinks before deciding?"

"Alright, alright, then quickly send someone to inquire," Liu Musheng urged immediately.

Liu Yuechu pondered whether or not to seek out Granny Fang.

Yuan Cuo coughed twice. "Have you two forgotten something?"

"Hmm?" Liu Musheng looked at him.

Liu Yuechu blinked and suddenly came to her senses. "Yes, we shouldn't ask Princess Chen about this. After all, Father is back, and it's only reasonable for him to decide your marriage."

Liu Musheng: "..." He really forgot about his own father.

"Then, then we'll have to go to the palace to talk to her." His high spirits immediately weakened. In his heart, he hoped that Princess Chen would intervene.

After all, this biological father wasn't respectable enough, and after returning, he did so many foolish things, so she genuinely disliked him.

“Then let’s go to the palace and talk to them. We can also ask Princess Chen to help us out. I’m sure Huang Fan won’t treat us badly.” Liu Yuechu was very confident. “After all, he’s not a very reliable father in Wanwan’s heart. If she’s pushed too far, she might not even recognize her own father.”

She suddenly understood why she had such a good relationship with Huang Wanwan.

It turns out they share the same fate; neither of their biological fathers is very reliable, so they can empathize with each other.
