Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 254 The Stupidest

The wet nurse had nothing to say.

She also understood that the young lady's life in the mansion was not easy.

Nominally, she was the youngest daughter of the Left Chancellor's family, showered with love and affection. In reality, the torment of being plagued by illness was the most unbearable. It was Jiang Yunjiao's strong and resolute nature that made her suffer; any more delicate woman would not have been able to endure it.

Therefore, she could only be a pawn in this life, a tool for the marriage alliance between Consort Yu, the Third Prince, and the Left Chancellor's family.

Unexpectedly, the marriage alliance was looked down upon by a spoiled young master of a merchant family. But Jiang Yunjiao endured it all, bowing and scraping. The wet nurse thought about it and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Oh, right, there was a funeral at the Marquis of Zhenning's residence. The child died, but Magistrate Wei didn't make a fuss about it." The wet nurse remembered this.

Jiang Yunjiao naturally thought of Li Shu, "She's the stupidest person."

She doesn't sympathize with others, nor does she like to be pitied.

After considering it carefully, she sent invitations to Liu Yuechu and Liu Musheng, requesting separate meetings.

At that moment, Liu Yuechu was reconciling accounts with Liu Musheng, Pei Chun, Lu Bingyang, Ye Zinan, and the stewards of the Liu family.

Because Liu Musheng has already drawn up a document to transfer all his property to Liu Yuechu, everyone is here today to witness the transfer and then put their fingerprints on the document for filing at the county government office.

"Are you sure you really want to do this?" Pei Chun was somewhat surprised, and felt that his actions were too absurd, especially giving all his money to his sister. Wasn't he afraid that his sister would turn her back on him and he would become a complete pauper?

“Actually, there’s no need to rush. Your marriage to the Jiang family still needs some time before we start preparing,” Lu Bingyang advised.

"It's fine to give it away, as long as you believe that Yue Niang won't abandon you and run away with the money." Ye Zinan pointed out the key point, and was even more surprised that the siblings had such a good relationship.

In their minds, they wouldn't trust anyone else with the money; only money that's in their own pocket and spent on enjoyment truly belongs to them.

Liu Yuechu sat silently to the side, asking herself honestly, she didn't want to help Liu Musheng manage these funds; she just wanted a simple life.

"If I didn't have to marry this young lady from the Jiang family, would I even have thought of this? Even if I were stupid, I could see that the Left Chancellor's family had no good intentions. They were obviously using our family as a money exchange. Just thinking about how life would be after we got married is unbearable."

Liu Musheng became increasingly frightened over the past two days, unable to sleep at night, and his eyes were as dark as a panda's. Therefore, he could only feel at ease after he had dealt with this matter as soon as possible.

"Is there really no way to ruin this marriage?" Lu Bingyang looked at everyone. "Weren't you always full of clever ideas? Why are you all silent now?"

“That’s the Left Chancellor’s residence. Who would dare to covet it?” Ye Zinan looked at Pei Chun. “Didn’t they say anything over there? Are they just waiting for the Liu family to be robbed?” He didn’t say the words “Eastern Palace”.

"He only asked what happened, and didn't say anything else." Pei Chun couldn't figure out what the Crown Prince was thinking, so even if he had a wicked idea, he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of causing more trouble.

"If even you high-ranking officials' families can't come up with a solution, what can my sister and I do? If we don't have a good idea, then this is the decision I'm making!"

Liu Musheng raised his palm and pressed it onto the cinnabar paste. Just as he was about to press it onto the document, Liu Muchi coughed lightly twice, "A fingerprint will suffice..."

Liu Musheng: "..." She really dotes on her older sister, she didn't even know to stop her?

"Alright, stop playing the victim here." Liu Yuechu tossed him a towel, telling him not to rush things. "If things haven't reached a point of no return, we can postpone it a bit longer. Yesterday, Brother Zhongyao said that the princess might return to the capital, and then someone will be there to back you up."

Liu Musheng's eyes lit up. "Really? What brings you back? Is it for my marriage?"

Liu Yuechu naturally wouldn't reveal that Governor Chen had a secret operation, so she could only let Liu Musheng take advantage of the situation. "After all, she is my godmother, and the princess is also concerned about appearances."

Liu Musheng immediately picked up the document in front of him, intending to burn it, when someone came in from outside the door, "Master, there is a letter for the two of you."

Liu Musheng paused, "For both of us? One for each of us?"

Liu Yuechu was also surprised, as very few people would send messages like this.

The two opened the letter and immediately looked at the signature: Jiang Yunjiao.

Liu Musheng: "Jiang Yunjiao wants to see me?"

Liu Yuechu: "Is Jiang Yunjiao coming to visit?"

The brother and sister spoke in unison, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Yuechu laughed, "This woman is really interesting..."

"Why would I want to see her? I don't want to see her." Liu Musheng refused decisively.

Liu Yuechu was eager to find out about her previous activities. "Has no mansion proposed marriage to the Left Chancellor's family?" She was looking at Ye Zinan.

Ye Zinan is a well-known gossip in the capital, and she loves to know all the big and small things happening in various mansions.

"How could there not be? There were plenty. Even my parents had their eyes on her, but the Left Chancellor's family politely declined. They used the excuse that their youngest daughter was too young and that the old lady wanted her to stay with them for a few more years." Ye Zinan wasn't ashamed at all.

These few纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy and powerful families) had marriage problems that were the biggest worry in their family. They wished they could propose to every single family in the capital with a daughter.

"Didn't you notice anything wrong with her health? How could the news be kept so tightly under wraps?" Liu Yuechu was very curious about this.

Having already uncovered some clues, she saw no need to hide anything and proceeded to recount all her unusual behavior.

But none of the people in front of them were curious; they simply nodded in realization.

"Did you already know? Why didn't you tell me?!" Liu Musheng was so anxious he was about to jump up and down!

"No, it's just that the young lady of the Left Chancellor's mansion is shrouded in mystery and ambiguity. I know there's definitely something wrong, but I don't know exactly what it is," Lu Bingyang immediately explained.

Liu Musheng felt a chill run down his spine after hearing his sister's story yesterday.

I already disliked Jiang Yunjiao, and now she turns out to be a patient with a cold-related illness and vision problems. If it were just a simple case of poor health, that would be one thing, but the most crucial issue is her heart.

She appears to be as beautiful as an angel, but her heart is as wicked as a demon.

That's why he was so excited and immediately wanted to transfer the money under his name to Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu roughly understood, but before she could decide whether to meet Jiang Yunjiao, a female voice came from afar.

"I heard you all arguing about that Jiang family girl as soon as I entered the courtyard. Even if she's about to get married, does that mean so many people have gathered together to gossip about her?"

The speaker was Lin Mengyu, and the person next to her was Huang Wanwan.

Huang Wanwan was tricked into meeting her aunt today and met the young master of the family that was arranging her marriage.

After she left, she immediately went to find Lin Mengyu. Lin Mengyu knew that Lu Bingyang was at the Liu family's house, so she brought her along.

When Liu Musheng saw Lin Mengyu, his face instantly turned pale and bluish. He looked like a child who had made a mistake, stammering for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Liu Yuechu hadn't seen Huang Wanwan for a while, and complained in a coquettish tone, "You heartless woman, it's been several days since you last came to my residence to ask about me?!"
