Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 446 No change

Liu Yuechu was baffled. After all, Wei Tianxuan had helped the Chu Emperor sell her and Yuan Cuo out, so how could he still have the audacity to come and make a scene?

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he has neither been dismissed from office nor demoted, since his official robes have not changed.

Did Yuan Cuo dig up his family's ancestral graves?

Yuan Cuo naturally heard the sound and slowly strolled out of the house.

He was sitting in a rocking chair, swaying back and forth. When Wei Tianxuan entered the room and saw him enjoying himself, he almost cried with anger!

"You can dismiss me from my post, you can remove me from my official position, but you can't make me become a servant to women!"

"You have to give me a different job, or I'm not leaving!"

Wei Tianxuan was so angry that his voice choked, and he sat down on the ground.

The ground was slightly damp and a bit chilly in autumn, which startled Gu Yu so much that she quickly went inside, fetched a small stool, and pulled Wei Tianxuan to sit on it.

Yuan Cuo gave Gu Yu a disgraceful glare.

How can this girl have no backbone at all?!

"Don't put it so harshly. Going to the Emperor of Chu's side, what are you going to do to serve women? With your old face, you're far inferior to the strong young men around her. Don't overestimate your abilities," Yuan Cuo mocked without any restraint.

Liu Yuechu was dumbfounded, never expecting that Yuan Cuo would actually send him to follow the Chu Emperor.

"Just following the Chu Emperor, is it really that big of a deal?" She didn't understand for a moment.

"He told me to follow the Chu Emperor, not just during the few days the Chu Emperor is in Daqi, but to go to Chu." Wei Tianxuan slapped his thigh hard, making a loud cracking sound, but he didn't care about the pain. "Why should I, a perfectly healthy Daqi citizen, go to Chu? And if I go to Chu, what will happen to my wife's illness? I can't possibly take her with me; she'll die on the way!"

Wei Tianxuan complained for a while and glanced at Gu Yu. Although he suspected that Gu Yu might have played a part in Yuan Cuo's idea, he held back and didn't say anything.

After all, Gu Yu wouldn't be able to live if she broke off all pretense of civility in front of the girl.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuechu let out a hiss. Was Yuan Cuo trying to make him wish he were dead?

Gu Yu never expected that her own Duke would present Wei Tianxuan with such a difficult problem. She bit her lip, almost kneeling down to beg Yuan Cuo to let him off the hook.

But Xia Zhi was behind her, tightening the strap behind her, almost suffocating Gu Yu.

Gu Yu pleaded, but Xia Zhi resolutely refused to let go.

Going out to speak up for outsiders at this time? Wouldn't that be betraying one's own people? Besides, it's a man who doesn't want her. How can she be so spineless!

Gu Yu bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to utter a sound.

Yuan Cuo said seriously, "I've also heard that the Chu doctor believes your wife's illness will take a long time to cure, and will require several special medicines from Chu."

"Since the State of Chu is willing to help you find a good doctor to cure your wife, isn't it the perfect time for you to go to Chu?"

Wei Tianxuan sneered, "You even know about this, so you must know what conditions they offered! I admit that what happened last time was a moment of panic, and I made a small move. I feel ashamed before heaven and earth, and ashamed before you, but I, Wei Tianxuan, cannot betray the Great Qi!"

"What conditions did the State of Chu propose?" Liu Yuechu was genuinely unaware of this matter and was filled with curiosity.

Wei Tianxuan moved his lower lip slightly, "Ask him."

Yuan Cuo shrugged. "How would I know? Although I enjoy discussing doctrines and scriptures, I am not a sorcerer who can predict the future."

Wei Tianxuan: "..." You're just deliberately making fun of people. Which wizard can compare to this guy!

"Anyway, I won't agree. I just talked to my wife. If she goes, I will go with her, but we will give up the treatment in Chu." He said this with great dejection.

The most agonizing thing is the feeling of helplessness and resentment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu burst into tears.

She forced back her tears, but couldn't hold them back any longer, so she turned around, covered her face, and ran back.

When Wei Tianxuan saw this, he didn't know what to say.

Liu Yuechu dismissed the maids, leaving only the three of them to speak. "So what exactly are the conditions? There's no need to give up now."

"Send me to the State of Chu as a special envoy, but I must bring a troupe of opera performers from the Great Qi, and also courtesans skilled in poetry, literature, wine, tea, singing, and dancing." Wei Tianxuan said this through gritted teeth. This was supposed to be a special envoy, but it was clearly just a matter of becoming the head of an opera troupe.

There are indeed geisha in the palace, but the eunuchs are in charge of this matter. Doesn't this put him on par with the eunuchs?

Liu Yuechu was taken aback. "Who made these conditions?"

"Who else could it be?!" Wei Tianxuan glanced at Yuan Cuo, clearly indicating that it was the Chu Emperor who spoke.

"Actually, she was mocking me, because although I helped her, I betrayed the Duke of Baoguo."

Wei Tianxuan was very clear-headed and knew that neither side would benefit from this matter.

Liu Yuechu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. "Or, why don't you go to the State of Chu? You're just taking some singers and dancers with you, so you can help send back some messages..."

Wouldn't it make you feel much better if you nominally helped Da Qi endure humiliation and hardship?

“Madam’s idea is exactly what I was thinking. I think it’s excellent,” Yuan Cuo said with a smile.

Wei Tianxuan: "..." Birds of a feather flock together. He thought Liu Yuechu would say a few words in her defense, but it turns out she's just adding fuel to the fire?

“Actually, you don’t need to rush to refuse. You can agree first and let that Chu doctor treat the illness. After all, she won’t be able to return to Chu soon.” Yuan Cuo was silent for a long time before suddenly saying this.

This time it was Wei Tianxuan's turn to be stunned, his eyes even showing a hint of fear. "You mean..."

"It's not my idea, it's about what Chu Lan means." Yuan Cuo directly brought up the prince of Chu, "Don't you think about why she went to the west and met Qin Muyan? And why she stayed at Prince Chun's mansion, and why she brought Wei Gongming back with her?"

"I've thought about it, but I haven't figured it out." Wei Tianxuan admitted that his brain wasn't as shrewd as Yuan Cuo's.

"If you can't figure it out, go back and think about it again..." Yuan Cuo didn't want to tell him.

He stood up, stretched, and said, "For the sake of Elder Zhuang, I'm giving you a way to live, but if you don't understand and choose to seek your own death, I won't stop you."

Yuan Cuo took Liu Yuechu's hand and led her back into the house.

The man who had sold them both had said all he needed to say, showing his deepest gratitude.

Wei Tianxuan scratched his head, lacking the confidence to press Yuan Cuo for answers, "Why? What exactly does that person want?"

He left, his mind elsewhere, filled with questions.

At this very moment, the Chu Emperor had returned to the Prince Chun's residence and even made a special trip to meet with someone.

"It's been so many years, you haven't changed much at all." She looked at the person in front of her and spoke softly.
