Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 235 Visiting

After hearing Qin Muyan's words, Consort Yu sent someone to summon Jiang Yunjiao to the palace and gave her a few more instructions.

At this time, the Empress also sent someone to visit Liu Yuechu at the Liu residence, and Gu Yu took the opportunity to tell them about the Liu family's attitude.

The Empress was not surprised when she heard what the eunuch had told her. "Liu Yuechu is indeed a capable head of the household. She is quite clear-headed and knows that this marriage arranged by Consort Yu is not a good thing."

"What good is it if she knows? In terms of seniority, she can't make decisions for the eldest son of the Liu family, and in terms of status, she can't possibly confront Consort Yu head-on." Qin Mushuo sneered, speaking sarcastically, "Don't say that, the third brother's idea is really insidious. Wasn't Qin Yongshang beaten to death by him? I wonder who gave him this idea."

The Empress couldn't be bothered with his emotional outbursts. "It's best to mess this up."

"How can they cause trouble? Jiang Yunjiao is a perfect match for Liu Musheng no matter how you look at it. The Left Chancellor's Mansion is really going all out, releasing such a precious daughter. They're really willing to gamble on their third son." Qin Mushuo said sourly.

If it weren't for the impossibility of a marriage alliance between him and the Left Chancellor's family, he would have loved to take Jiang Yunjiao into the Crown Prince's palace.

How could the Empress not know the Crown Prince's intentions?

"Anyway, there's still some time before the anniversary of Old Madam Liu's death. Even if the imperial decree is issued, we can still make plans..."

"Let's see what the Liu family does first. Mother, don't put all your eggs in one basket with them. Apart from having some money, the Liu family is really not worthy of our trust." Qin Mushuo's eyes were full of disdain.

The Empress was speechless as she looked at her own son.

I wonder what his reaction would be if he knew that Yuan Cuo was His Majesty's illegitimate son?

If her son is no good, she can only rely on her as his mother to help him... If it really comes to a critical moment and Yuan Cuo's identity is revealed, will the third son still be willing to marry into the Liu family?

This was too risky, and the Empress only considered it briefly before putting it aside.

Two days later, Consort Yu issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage.

The whole capital knew that the daughter of the Left Chancellor was about to marry the eldest son of the Liu family.

The crowd was in an uproar, wondering what merit the Liu family had.

Upon learning of this, Pei Chun, Lu Bingyang, and the others quickly arrived at the Liu family's residence.

"Liu Musheng, are you going to join the Third Prince's forces? What are you thinking? Explain yourself!" Pei Chun was the first to object!

He is the Crown Princess's younger brother and is one of the Crown Prince's men.

If Liu Musheng marries the daughter of the Left Chancellor, wouldn't they become enemies?

Lu Bingyang reassured him, "Don't be anxious, listen to him first."

"The daughter of the Left Chancellor is a beautiful peony admired by everyone in the capital. If she really becomes the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, your Liu family's ancestral graves will be emitting auspicious smoke." Ye Zinan chuckled gloatingly.

Since the day Liu Musheng entered the palace, he has not dared to see these playboys again.

Now that he'd been chased all the way home, he was crestfallen. "You all know she's a rare gem, one in a million. How could I refuse? Am I worthy? Do I dare?"

"Then you can just say you're not worthy, list out your one, two, three, four, five shortcomings, and then Consort Yu can't force you to agree, can she?" Pei Chun didn't believe in such nonsense.

Liu Musheng spat at him, "What flaws do I have? I am the eldest son of the Liu family, the only heir. My horse farm is thriving, making a fortune every day. Apart from being a big spender, I don't gamble, whore, or cause trouble anymore. What flaws do I have?"

"My only flaw is that I wasn't born into an official family, and I'm not too bad-looking either."

He spent his days counting his virtues on his fingers, and he could recite them by heart. But this was all because he was wondering if he was good enough for Huang Wanwan; he just didn't expect the palace to bestow upon him someone even more remarkable.

Pei Chun rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "You're really quite narcissistic!"

"Actually, Brother Liu is really not bad. There are quite a few young ladies in the capital who have their eyes on him," Ye Zinan teased.

"I really have no choice. Everyone has to get married sooner or later, and I've married a woman from a powerful family." Liu Musheng was also truly helpless. "I know what you're afraid of, but I can guarantee that I won't let her interfere with the Liu family's business."

“I was afraid you wouldn’t have a choice then.” Lu Bingyang knew all too well the methods women used in wealthy families. “But I’ve never actually met this Jiang Yunjiao, and I don’t know what kind of person she is.”

Pei Chun was furious. "Why are you looking at me? I've never seen this before."

“I saw her once, but only once,” Ye Zinan recalled. “She was beautiful, truly beautiful. Sitting there, you couldn’t take your eyes off her, and when she looked at you, you couldn’t tell what she was thinking.”

three people:"……"

Ye Zinan came to his senses and said, "I didn't mean to steal my brother's woman. I wouldn't do such a beastly thing. I've been through countless flowers without getting a single petal on me."

"What about Liu Yuechu? Has she accepted this sister-in-law?" Pei Chun thought of her.

The only one who could object was Liu Yuechu, because once Jiang Yunjiao entered the family, she would definitely vie for control of the Liu family's household affairs.

Liu Musheng didn't know either. "Maybe they're still in the courtyard?" He ordered someone to inquire, as it was rare that everyone had come today.

The servant hurried off and quickly returned with a message: "That young lady from the Jiang family is having tea in Master Yue's courtyard. She just came to visit with gifts!"

Pei Chun, Lu Bingyang, and Ye Zinan were instantly shocked and all looked at Liu Musheng.

Liu Musheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his hands like a rattle-drum, "I don't know, I really don't know!"

"Let's go see what kind of powerful person has come to our door so directly?" Pei Chun just wanted to stir things up as quickly as possible.

Lu Bingyang pulled him back, saying, "Don't be silly. It's better to be calm now. Let Liu Yuechu meet her first, and then we can discuss it further."

"So we're just going to wait here?" Pei Chun was itching to know what they were going to say.

Liu Musheng nodded firmly and said, "We can only wait. I can't just go into Yue Niang's courtyard right now."

When Yuan Cuo left, he left behind many servants, and even Liu Musheng wanted to avoid them.

The group was disheartened and could only retreat to Liu Musheng's courtyard to drink tea and play chess.

At this moment, Liu Yuechu looked at Jiang Yunjiao in front of her, her heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.

With willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a delicate nose, jade lips, and skin as white as cream, her glossy black hair was as beautiful as satin. Her round face and pointed chin made her an absolute beauty. Why was she going to marry her elder brother?

Jiang Yunjiao also sized up Liu Yuechu. She smiled faintly and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "I apologize for coming to visit so abruptly, Liu Yiren. I didn't want to come, but I had no choice. The palace said that Liu Musheng's agreement to the marriage decree is useless; he still has to get past you."

"How do you feel about me after seeing me? Would you be willing to enter the Liu family and become my sister-in-law?"

She asked directly, her face radiating confidence.

She didn't believe anyone would say "no" to her, not even Liu Yuechu in front of her.

Liu Yuechu shook her head. "I have something I don't like to hear, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"
