Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 250 Obscuring

Liu Yuechu had no answer and simply kicked him off the carriage. "Go ask Brother Zhongyao if he has any ideas. I'm at a loss!"

Liu Musheng had no choice but to let his sister go back first. "Don't abandon her. This is a big deal for our family. Tell me if you have any ideas... If all else fails, I'll just run away too!" Liu Yuechu didn't hear the last part of his sentence at all.

She had already ordered the carriage to set off, and then summoned Liu Yuechan back to her side to comfort her along the way.

She also asked Liu Yuechan carefully whether she had pushed Li Shu, and what exactly the powder was that made her so cautious!

Liu Yuechan also said she wasn't sure if she had pushed him or not, "Anyway, she did it on purpose, that woman is really wicked!"

"Then you should insist that you didn't push it, and say that no matter who comes," Liu Yuechu had to add.

Liu Yuechan nodded in agreement, but then asked, puzzled, "The heir of the Marquis of Zhenning has already said it was an accident. Could there be more trouble to come?"

"Who knows? Better safe than sorry." Liu Yuechu looked at her again, waiting for her to talk about the powder.

Liu Yuechan's face flushed instantly. "...That was medicine given to me by Sect Master Yuwen. He said it could stop the bleeding and asked me to prepare a better medicine for him based on this prescription."

Liu Yuechu was taken aback. "Who does he think he is, daring to order you around like that?!" He's really taking her for granted!

"Sister, don't be angry. I asked for it. This is a prescription from Mongolia, not ours. I've already asked Physician Sun, and he also said that this medicine is very precious and rare." Liu Yuechan was afraid that her sister would get angry again and really go to argue with Yuwen Chan.

Liu Yuechu glanced at her bright red ears, somewhat surprised.

Could it be that this young lady has stopped liking Yuan Cuo and has fallen for Yuwen Chan instead?

But she only had the thought; she didn't ask directly, since it was a sensitive topic between sisters.

They made their way home. Liu Yuechan returned to her small courtyard, while Liu Yuechu went straight to Yuanchu Pavilion.

"Hou Lai," she called softly.

Since entering the Left Chancellor's residence, Hou Lai has never appeared again. He didn't even get into the carriage midway when she left, which indeed puzzled Liu Yuechu.

Everyone looked around, knowing that Hou would appear from the trees and walls in the future.

Hou Lai slowly came out of the bathroom, holding a towel in his hand, and kept wiping his face.

The more he applied rouge, the heavier it became, and his black eyeliner smudged, turning him into a panda.

"Why can't I wipe this rubbish off?" He had been trying for a long time and was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Hahaha..." Huajiao laughed so hard he almost fell over. "You need to rub it with soap to wash it off, you idiot!"

"No wonder I couldn't wipe it off! You women are such a hassle!" He quickly took off his women's clothes as soon as he returned from the Left Chancellor's residence, never wanting to wear those things again!

Gu Yu smiled and went to fetch the soap, while Xia Zhi, ever observant, went to fetch water. After several people helped Hou Lai wash himself clean, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling completely relieved.

When Granny Fang returned, she went to the small kitchen and personally prepared food for Liu Yuechu.

When the food was served, she asked Hou Lai what he had found. "...He disappeared as soon as he went in. Two things have happened to your master. If you don't find out anything, then your trip will have been in vain!"

"How could we not have found out?" Hou Lai saw that Liu Yuechu did not hide anything from Xia Zhi and Gu Yu, and directly took out the things brought back from the Left Chancellor's residence.

"I stole these medicine dregs."

"And there was always a lamp burning in the dark corners of her house, never going out. Including the trees in the yard that didn't block the light, and the oil lamps in the cracks of the stone walls."

"I suspect this woman can't handle darkness and is afraid of the dark. As for the reason, we need to examine the dregs of the medicine to find out."

Liu Yuechu nodded and then sent someone to fetch Liu Yuechan.

Liu Yuechan was already cherishing her medicinal powder, so she was pleasantly surprised to see these dregs!

"With so many precious items, this person must be seriously ill!"

She sorted them one by one; some had been smashed into mud and were completely unrecognizable.

"Can you tell what kind of illness it treats?" Liu Yuechu asked hurriedly.

Liu Yuechan struggled a bit and even ran back to retrieve a medical book, carefully flipping through it. "A cold illness, and a very serious one at that. In addition, there is also night-shining sand and amber here, which should be a condition of pterygium."

"What kind of disease is 'pterygium'?" This was the first time Liu Yuechu had ever heard of it.

“It’s a barrier, you can’t see clearly,” Liu Yuechan said. “But this disease is very rare. I’ve only read about it in medical books, but I don’t know how to treat it.” She paused and then mentioned Yuan Cuo. “My brother-in-law mentioned it. It’s said that long needles are needed. It’s a pity that my brother-in-law isn’t here, otherwise my second sister could ask him and he would know the details.”

Liu Yuechu sighed; she hadn't received any news from Yuan Cuo yet today.

"So it's Jiang Yunjiao who's unwell, not Madam Jiang." She had already made a rough judgment. "No wonder Consort Yu would bestow such a precious niece upon my elder brother; it turns out she sent him a sickly person instead."

"Moreover, this woman is quite wicked; she even dared to release poisonous scorpions!"

Granny Fang trembled with fear at the thought. "From now on, no matter where the invitation comes from, try not to go if you can avoid it. Anything that is for your sake, Master, is something we would never do to trouble you. Even the Empress has never summoned you to the palace for a casual chat!"

She deliberately mentioned the Empress, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the expressions on Xia Zhi and Gu Yu's faces.

Liu Yuechu nodded, "They probably want to kill me outright and then take over the Liu family as the matriarch. They're really dreaming. Today, my elder brother asked me in the carriage if there was any way to avoid marrying me..."

"This was asked by the eldest young master?"

"Correct."

Liu Yuechu sighed helplessly, "But I really have no choice. After all, she is Consort Yu, and I can't disobey the imperial decree. Even if Jiang Yunjiao's condition is so serious that she can't have children for the Liu family, I still have to endure this grievance!"

Granny Fang muttered a few words about how "the young master has it tough too," and Liu Yuechu slowly began to eat her porridge.

After she finished eating, she went back to her room to rest. After a short nap, it was already dark.

"Did they go?" she asked, glancing outside.

Huajiao heard the sound and came over. "She didn't go out, but Xiazhi asked the purchasing agent to buy embroidery thread and gave him money."

Liu Yuechu didn't talk about the Left Chancellor's residence behind their backs today because she hoped they could relay the message to the palace.

She has made it very clear what kind of person Jiang Yunjiao is, and she has also expressed Liu Musheng's attitude.

The Empress and the Crown Prince wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, but she didn't want to be the target.

If you really want to win over the Liu family to the Crown Prince, then step in when the time is right...

If the Empress doesn't even care about this matter, she really needs to reconsider the future of the Liu family.
