Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 210 Being a concubine

When Liu Yuechu mentioned "cousin's debt," which was gambling debt, Tong Jia'er's face instantly turned even more unpleasant than a pig's liver!

The colors shifted constantly, from green to red to purple, and she was even more shocked—how did Liu Yuechu know all this?!

Liu Musheng seemed to have caught something. "What's going on? What gambling debt? You actually introduced me to a family with debts?!" He was already dissatisfied with the matter, but now he realized it was a trap.

For the first time, Liu Musheng glared fiercely at his third uncle, "Uncle, you must explain this matter clearly, or don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Liu Shang was also shocked. "No, how could such a thing happen? I was just trying to help you with your marriage. You are my own nephew, how could I possibly harm you!"

"Moon Lady, even if you don't like Miss Tong, you can't just spout nonsense!" He immediately rebuked Liu Yuechu. If he didn't make things clear, he was afraid he would lose the favor of Liu Musheng, the wealthy man!

Liu Yuechu said quietly, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, Uncle, don't you know what Miss Tong is like? Fourth Uncle mentioned this marriage before, and I was the one who stopped it. But my obstruction wasn't due to emotions; I had someone investigate."

"At that time, I thought it would be fine if the marriage didn't go through, but it would be too embarrassing to expose the scandals of an outsider's family."

"I didn't expect my third uncle to mention Miss Tong again, so please forgive my rudeness."

Liu Yuechu didn't need to investigate, since Tong Jia'er had been her sister-in-law in her previous life, so she knew all of Tong Jia'er's scandals and ulterior motives.

Tong Jia'er has gone mad too.

She kept her affair with her cousin so well hidden that even the people in the Tong family didn't know. How did Liu Yuechu find out?

Judging from her confident tone, it seemed that she did indeed know something, and it wasn't just hearsay.

“I am just a young lady from a humble family, and I have no idea why Madam Liu would slander me out of thin air. If the Liu family is unwilling, I will not force myself to follow them, but it is unacceptable to use my innocence to spread rumors. This intention is truly malicious!”

What if she doesn't acknowledge it? He even wondered if he could cause a scene at the Liu family's house and end up bumping into the old lady's bedside.

Even if she doesn't marry Liu Musheng, she'll still get some compensation money; she'll never go back empty-handed!

"Are you sure you want me to produce evidence? By then, it's probably not just the Liu family who won't want this marriage, but other families won't be happy either." Liu Yuechu had also calculated that she wouldn't admit it, and she even gave a look, signaling the wives in the family to come and keep an eye on her.

Tong Jia'er blushed deeply, never expecting to encounter such a thing.

"I was brought to the Liu family to arrange a marriage without really understanding what was going on, and then suddenly I was accused of having an improper relationship with my cousin. What did I do wrong that I have to be bullied by your family?!"

She glanced around, only thinking about where she was going to crash into, but she was stopped by Liu Fujia as soon as she took a step. She struggled for a couple of times but couldn't move at all!

She had no other choice but to pretend to faint and lie down on the ground.

Liu Yuechan reacted quickly, rushing over from the old lady's bedside and piercing the eyebrow with a palm-sized needle!

Tong Jia'er cried out in pain, unable to hide her fainting!

She could only squat on the ground, sobbing softly, "Your family must give me an explanation, otherwise... otherwise my father will not let this go!"

Her wailing and crying caused one of the third wife's family members to suffer a heart attack.

Liu Yuechu didn't bother with her at all, and went straight to the old lady's bedside, instructing Liang Mama to help her put on her final clothes.

Mother Liang could also see that the old lady was really not doing well... Otherwise, it would be strange if the old lady didn't scold Tong Jia'er for having a private affair with her cousin, no matter who she wanted to scold.

With the situation at his residence dire, Liu Musheng had no interest in thinking about marriage.

The maids and servants immediately changed the white mourning clothes in the mansion, took off the red silk and green satin, removed all the lanterns that the old lady liked the most, and even covered the swallows' nests under the eaves with a layer of white cloth.

Liu Shang and his son dared not argue any further and immediately joined in the fuss. They continued this until nightfall, when the old lady finally breathed her last.

"Uncle Chun will help out and take care of things. I'll go deal with that young lady from the Tong family first." Liu Yuechu knew that her third aunt couldn't control that young lady, so she had to take matters into her own hands.

Just now, her third aunt wanted to send her back to the Tong family, but Tong Jia'er refused no matter what she said, and kept threatening to kill herself.

“I’ve already spent the night at the Liu family’s house, and I can explain myself properly once I leave. Your Liu family must take responsibility for me. You can’t just drag out a cousin to smear my reputation; it won’t work. I have absolutely no connection with him!”

When Tong Jia'er saw Liu Yuechu, she immediately made her attitude clear. She knew this woman was not easy to deal with, but she hadn't expected her to be this troublesome.

The key point is that Liu Musheng has no feelings for her, which is something Tong Jia'er really didn't expect.

She had just thought it over carefully, and marrying Liu Mufang wasn't a bad idea... As long as she didn't continue living in that cannibalistic Tong family mansion, she could endure some hardship.

While she thought this way, she had to be firm in her words. As long as the Liu family felt guilty and ashamed, her chances of success would be high.

Liu Yuechu wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she sat down to the side, wearing the white mourning clothes that Huajiao had sent.

She slowly and deliberately put on her mourning cap, completely ignoring what Tong Jia'er was saying. "...I've already sent someone to the Tong family to fetch you. You'll be back in a little while."

"Didn't you hear what I said? Your Liu family has to take responsibility for me!" Tong Jia'er panicked completely. She hadn't expected Liu Yuechu to act so unpredictably.

She came out with the third master of the Liu family today under the pretext that she was invited by the Liu family as a guest. She wasn't exactly lying, but she didn't mention the marriage proposal to the Liu family.

She only thought that once the deal was settled, she could use the Liu family as leverage to discuss the dowry with the Prefect's wife. But Liu Yuechu directly sent someone to the Prefect's residence; wouldn't she be hated to death by the Prefect's wife?!

Whether the Liu family is responsible for you depends on the magistrate's wife's opinion. Does she expect you to decide your own marriage? That would be too undignified for the magistrate.

Liu Yuechu glanced at her stomach. "Actually, if you leave now, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, if Madam Tong comes with people and finds out something, it won't matter if you try to kill yourself."

She remembered that Tong Jia'er was pregnant when she married her older brother.

On their wedding night, their mother tricked them with pigeon blood, and their older brother got them drunk.

If this life is the same as the previous one, then Tong Jia'er's eagerness to get married is because she wants to find someone to take over her life.

The look in Tong Jia'er's eyes made her instantly clutch her lower abdomen, her face turning ashen, completely devoid of the demeanor of a young lady from a noble family!

"You have a dirty mind, how can you think of me like that!"

Liu Yuechu sneered, "How do I see you?"

"You..." Tong Jia'er was too ashamed to speak, and could only burst into tears of anger. She was truly terrified!

She realized that Liu Yuechu wasn't deliberately bluffing her, and her earlier bravado vanished.

Tong Jia'er suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Liu Yuechu with a thud. "I can't let them take me back like this. I'll die a horrible death! They're going to send me to the old eunuch as a concubine. If I'm really sent there, my life is over!"
