Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 154 Doubt

In his previous life, Liu Yuechu admired Yuan Cuo because he had indeed accomplished what others could not.

Only now do we realize that not only did he establish the Great Qi in his previous life, but his background is also full of profound secrets. It must have been quite difficult for him to be granted the title of Duke of Baoguo.

But now she no longer wants to think about her past life, because things have changed in this life.

She was no longer the wife of the Marquis of Zhenning, and she did not marry Wei Gongming;

Yuan Cuo did not take Hou Lai away from the capital, but instead traversed thorny paths, all to find out who his birth mother was.

She didn't know if he had found the answer in his past life, but she could help him find it in this life.

She would follow him wholeheartedly if he wanted to.

"Does my wife want me to acknowledge her or not?" Yuan Cuo asked her in return.

"Me?" Liu Yuechu didn't expect him to ask her. "That's your biological father, not mine. How can I make decisions for you on your own?"

“Of course you can make the decision, you are my wife.” Yuan Cuo’s love was undisguised, and he didn’t even hide it in his heart. He was willing to express it. “If it were just me living with Hou, we would be fine with simple meals. But now that I have you, I must take on the responsibilities of a man.”

"If I can't give you money, I can help you get the title of a prince's consort."

Liu Yuechu stared blankly at him, "Do you know what you're saying?"

That's the prince's wife.

He thought it was a cabbage sold at a street stall?

“Yuwen Chan is going to marry you and make you the Queen of Meng Kingdom, so I can’t be too cowardly, right? Actually, I don’t even think I’m good enough as a prince’s consort.” Yuan Cuo was originally hesitant, but this unexpected event made him feel very threatened.

How could his wife be kidnapped by that big, dumb guy?!

Liu Yuechu couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't expect you to be so petty."

“I can give him my own father, but not my wife,” Yuan Cuo said firmly.

Liu Yuechu lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and draped one leg over him.

At this stage, it seems there is only one way forward, and the Liu family has no room for retreat.

"Let's figure out what to do with the two maids the Empress Dowager sent..." she said, her breathing slowing down, and soft snoring gradually rising as she nestled into Yuan Cuo's arms and fell asleep.

Yuan Cuo patted her gently and slowly, looking very satisfied with the smile on her face.

Seeing that Liu Yuechu was fast asleep, he put on his clothes and went to the courtyard. He had been working day and night in the palace for a long time and had not been able to calm down. He just wanted to clear his mind and look at the full moon.

But as soon as he stepped out of the inner room, Huajiao was startled awake. "Where is the young master going?"

The scars on her face hadn't completely disappeared, and her eyes held a more inquisitive look. She wasn't as relaxed and carefree as usual; she even turned over and fell asleep again.

Yuan Cuo waved his hand, "Just sit in the courtyard for a while."

Huajiao immediately got up and followed Yuan Cuo into the courtyard, making it clear that if he didn't go back to his room to sleep, she would continue to serve him.

Yuan Cuo looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Do you have something to say?"

"No, I'm just keeping the young master company. Please let me know if you need anything," Huajiao said timidly.

Yuan Cuo didn't react for a moment. "If I need anything, I can ask Hou to do it. You don't need to stay up all night with me. Getting some rest will help your wound heal."

"It's alright, I'm fine," Huajiao refused again.

Yuan Cuo sensed that something was wrong with her, but he didn't know where to begin asking.

He suddenly remembered the two maids sent by the Empress Dowager. Huajiao had been keeping an eye on him most night, probably thinking that he was going to secretly go to see those two women.

"Are those two women settled in?" he suddenly asked.

Huajiao sighed, revealing a look of "as expected." "They've already rested in the back room, but it's so late, it wouldn't be convenient for the young master to call someone to serve them, would it?" She spoke very softly, afraid of waking Liu Yuechu.

“Indeed, there’s no need to call anyone to serve you; it’s too late.” Yuan Cuo’s gaze made him lose his appetite for moon-viewing, so he could only get up and go back to his room to rest.

Huajiao breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing Yuan Cuo enter the inner room.

Is that thing really that interesting?

Aside from being a bit plump, those two maids were nowhere near as good as their master. Men are men, huh.

Huajiao muttered a few complaints to himself, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

The next day, when Liu Yuechu woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

During this period, Yuan Cuo has been out of contact with anyone in the palace, and she has not slept well for a long time.

"Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns?" She touched it, but there was no one by the bed; Yuan Cuo had already gotten up.

Huajiao rushed in, her face not looking too good. "Master is awake?"

"Is something the matter?" She knew Huajiao too well; if something was on her mind, she couldn't hide it from him.

Huajiao's fingers were almost twisted in pain. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the young master woke up early today and then invited the two young ladies bestowed by the Empress Dowager to the back garden."

"The garden? What are you doing in the garden?" Liu Yuechu sat up in bed, and Huajiao hurriedly helped her put on her shoes. "This servant doesn't know what I went to do. You haven't woken up yet, so this servant didn't dare to go and check on you."

She was worried because she didn't go.

The son-in-law got up in the middle of the night yesterday, but she insisted on going back to her room to rest. However, he sent someone directly to the back garden first thing this morning; who knows what kind of nonsense they might do?

She was grateful to her son-in-law for helping her heal the wound on her face.

However, Huajiao still felt resentful that her haste in offending her master was wrong.

Moreover, Yuan Cuo was recently ordered by the Emperor to be buried alive if he could not be cured. The Emperor not only refused the Right Chancellor's office, but also the young prince of the Mongol Kingdom.

But he's only just returned, and he's already unable to bear the thing beneath him? Although every household encounters this kind of thing, when it actually happens in front of him, Huajiao feels resentful.

Liu Yuechu stared at her for a long time. "Are you overthinking this?" Even if Yuan Cuo is lustful, he wouldn't go to the garden, would he? The Liu family has so much space, can't they accommodate three people?

Besides, his attitude towards those two was very clear; otherwise, he would have just said it last night.

Huajiao stamped her feet anxiously, "It's not that I'm overthinking it." She told him about Yuan Cuo not sleeping last night, "...I said something, and the young master just nodded and said it was right, and that it was too late."

"If you don't have that intention, why call someone over so early in the morning? Men are men. Our master once made a solemn promise to his wife that he would be devoted to her, but didn't he still have concubines to help him bear children?"

"There are maids in the mansion, but the young master has never been interested in them. However, those two are plump and alluring, and their smiles are like those of bewitching fox spirits. They are indeed quite extraordinary." She also took the opportunity to examine Liu Yuechu's figure. Compared to the two, she was indeed a bit thin.

Liu Yuechu rolled her eyes, summoned Huajiao to bring water for washing, then put on a thin gauze dress and went to the back garden.

She was also a little puzzled as to what Yuan Cuo was doing.

At this moment, Yuan Cuo leisurely sipped his tea, clearly displeased with the actions of the two maids.

"No, that's not right. They didn't even learn this in the palace?"
