Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 195 Wolf Heart

Princess Fuyao didn't understand what he meant. She only remembered that he said it required her father's permission.

"Back to the palace! Back to the palace! This princess must return to the palace immediately!"

"Your Highness, the Dali Temple conducted an autopsy in front of the Liu family's gate. They have cleared the Liu family's name, and your plan has failed." Wei Gongming rushed over and reported the matter truthfully.

"Idiot, fool, you can't even do this simple thing." Princess Fuyao didn't care whose idea it was, since the matter hadn't been accomplished anyway.

Wei Gongming was furious, but dared not speak. "What should we do next? Please advise, Your Highness." He didn't want to be the first to speak, lest he become the scapegoat.

Princess Fuyao had no intention of talking to him anymore. "You don't need to do anything. I'll go to my father. He's already said that he'll marry her as long as my father agrees. He just wants a legitimate reason to marry her, and I'll grant his wish."

Princess Fuyao was overjoyed.

If I had known he meant this, why bother making such a fuss? He really does like me; he's not as heartless as I thought.

But it's good that his father arranged the marriage; otherwise, he would have to bear the stigma of abandoning his original wife.

Wei Gongming frowned. Was this what Yuan Cuo said?

"Is Your Highness sure that's what he meant?"

"Otherwise what? What else could he mean?"

Princess Fuyao found him too long-winded and didn't bother to appease him. He hurriedly boarded the carriage, took his entourage back to the palace, and went directly to see Emperor Qi Xiao.

Wei Gongming still felt something was missing because it didn't fit the character of Yuan Cuo that he had described.

He inquired around to find out what had happened. But what everyone said was almost identical to what Princess Fuyao had told him.

"He is indeed a greedy man. Seeing that he could become the princess's husband, he had ulterior motives."

"Liu Yuechu, Liu Yuechu, you won't marry me? But you chose a heartless person instead."

In any case, he didn't abandon Liu Yuechu and marry someone else in his previous life.

"Spread this word, the more people who know, the better."

If His Majesty agrees to bestow a marriage upon Yuan Cuo and Princess Fuyao, allowing Yuan Cuo to marry another woman, then his reputation as a scumbag will be impossible to erase, his public image will be damaged, and Liu Yuechu will surely be heartbroken and part ways with him.

If His Majesty does not agree, he will have gained nothing in the end. Not only will Liu Yuechu fall out with him, but it may also affect his official position.

Who would pay attention to someone who is only focused on climbing the social ladder? He only needs to wait until Liu Yuechu is heartbroken before he steps in.

He would then directly reveal that he was also a reborn person and have a heart-to-heart talk with her, and she would definitely change her mind.

After giving his instructions, Wei Gongming pondered for a moment before heading to the Third Prince's residence. Now that the task was complete, he needed to claim credit.

The news spread quickly and soon filled the streets and alleys.

The Liu family naturally heard the news as well, and it was Huang Wanwan who personally delivered it.

"We were thinking of avoiding suspicion and coming back tomorrow, but we couldn't sit still after hearing this news."

"What's wrong with Yuan Cuo? He's always been so attentive and caring towards you, why is he pulling this stunt at this crucial moment!" Huang Wanwan was angry and rushed over without heeding her father's instructions.

This is her rare best friend; how could she let her be bullied like this?

Liu Yuechu hadn't expected that Yuan Cuo would outwit that person, and Emperor Qi Xiao couldn't possibly bestow a marriage upon his own son and daughter.

But things seem to have gone astray; perhaps someone did it on purpose...

"I don't know the specifics yet. I'll ask him when he gets back." Liu Yuechu quickly offered Huang Wanwan some treats to shut her up.

"What else is there to ask? He's heartless and ungrateful! I was originally thinking of doing what you did and finding a son-in-law who would live with me. But now it seems even that's unreliable!" Huang Wanwan said angrily.

Liu Yuechu was stunned. "You, are you crazy?" Why would someone who is a good person imitate her? There are other reasons why she has come to this point.

Huang Wanwan retorted, "You're crazy, so why can't I be crazy? But now it seems I should wait and see. Men are all unreliable. At worst, I'll just not get married and go to a nunnery to become a nun."

"Come on, you eat just as much meat as you want. With that mouth of yours, how can you be a nun?" Liu Yuechu couldn't help but expose her shortcomings.

Huang Wanwan was so angry that she was both crying and laughing. "Is this about you? How did it get dragged into me again? Let me warn you, don't easily confide in him. Once a person has ulterior motives, he will become more and more greedy, and there will be no way to stop him!"

"Okay, okay, I understand." Liu Yuechu was both amused and exasperated.

But before she could ask Huang Wanwan to leave, Lin Mengyu also rushed over.

“I heard about this. He came here before he even finished his chores at home. Yuan Cuo probably guessed that His Majesty would definitely disagree, so he said that. He doesn’t necessarily have any ulterior motives. Please don’t overthink it.” Lin Mengyu was more puzzled than anything else.

“What’s impossible? Isn’t this right in front of us?” Huang Wanwan retorted.

“Princess Shang might not necessarily get promoted. There are many things that will restrict her. Besides, although Princess Fuyao is not ugly, she is not as pretty as Yue Niang. And who can tolerate that sharp-tongued personality? Yuan Cuo must have taken the wrong medicine to marry her!” Lin Mengyu analyzed in more detail because everything seemed very unreasonable.

Liu Yuechu blinked. "You suddenly came all this way. Is your mother-in-law alright?" After all, she wasn't the little girl she used to be; she was married now.

“My mother-in-law sent me here. Now my daughter and I are doing so well, even better than Lu Bingyang.” This was something Lin Mengyu hadn’t expected before she got married.

My mother-in-law comes from a family of military generals, so naturally she doesn't have as many complicated rules as the Lin family.

Therefore, as long as Lin Mengyu didn't go too far, she just let things slide and ended up feeling more comfortable than when she was at her parents' home.

Huang Wanwan is still burdened by the shadow of her family background. "That's because you just got married. Let's see what happens when you can't have a son in two years."

Lin Mengyu naturally understood this principle as well. "That's all for later. Anyway, I'll enjoy myself one day at a time and not think about it too much."

“So when is Yuan Cuo coming back? We need to get an answer from him, otherwise I won’t feel comfortable going back!” Huang Wanwan said.

Liu Yuechu was genuinely afraid that if he came back, he would be torn to pieces by several women.

"Wait a minute, don't rush, things will be resolved if we wait..."

The two women stayed at the Liu family's house until dark, but Yuan Cuo didn't return. Only after they were certain that Liu Yuechu wouldn't do anything rash did they awkwardly leave.

Liu Yuechu sighed, this matter seems to be really difficult to handle!

How will Emperor Qi Xiao treat his own son? Will he really let him bear a lifetime of infamy?

At this moment, Emperor Qi Xiao had just finished his affairs of state and had time to meet Princess Fuyao.

Princess Fuyao poured out her heart, "...I have never been so devoted to a man before, Yuan Cuo is the only one. He also said that as long as Father Emperor agrees, he will marry me!"

"Your daughter begs Your Majesty to grant her wish; she truly desires to marry him!"
