Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 224 Madness

Upon hearing this, Liu Musheng was so frightened that his lungs felt like they were about to explode!

He had a gut feeling that something was wrong and just wanted to run home to find Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu was nearly two months pregnant and was starting to experience nausea and vomiting. She slept fitfully, ate in a daze, and then vomited violently after eating.

"That little brat! I wanted to beat him up the moment he was born! How could he treat his own mother like this!"

She vomited, rinsed her mouth with water, and slumped onto the bed, feeling listless and weak.

Huajiao looked distressed. "Everyone says that if you're carrying a baby girl, you won't have severe morning sickness. How come it's the other way around for you?"

"Maybe we're just natural enemies!" she cursed, but her hand instinctively protected her lower abdomen.

In her past life, she had never been pregnant because Wei Gongming deliberately prevented her from getting pregnant; in this life, she fulfilled her dream from her past life and finally experienced what it's like to be a mother, but this feeling is truly bittersweet.

"vomit……"

"Quick, get me a basin!"

Huajiao helped her vomit again. Guyu came in from outside, took the clean clothes that Liu Yuechu had changed into, and sent the dirty ones out.

"Let's save it up for half a day before delivering it. I've already made eight trips this morning." Although Liu Yuechu was wary of Gu Yu and Xia Zhi, she didn't want to treat them like dogs.

Gu Yu was quick on her feet, because she found that besides running errands, there was nothing else for her to do in the courtyard. "Otherwise, I'll find a few patterns for you to choose from, and I'll start making a jacket for you right now."

"Please don't be offended, my lady. I used to work in the Shanggong Bureau. I was selected to go to Fukang Palace because of my good embroidery skills."

"Oh?" Liu Yuechu was delighted, after all, the embroidery skills of the maids in the courtyard were not very good, and even if Granny Fang wanted to teach them, she didn't know where to start.

"Later, I'll have Granny Fang bring you some patterns that we can't embroider. She'll be overjoyed if she knows you have this skill."

Gu Yu quickly agreed and then took the dirty clothes to the outer house.

Xia Zhi had gone to the purchasing department to pick up today's vegetables, but when she returned, she was in a hurry. "...This servant just saw the eldest young master. It seems that something happened to him. He originally wanted to come to our courtyard, but he only asked if the young master was there. He heard that the young master left early this morning, so he hurriedly ran away."

"Judging from his anxious appearance, it seems it's not a matter from the palace. He even specifically instructed me not to tell you." But when Xia Zhi returned, he sold him out.

Liu Yuechu was also puzzled, "Besides the trouble caused by Eunuch Chang from the Imperial Household Department, what other trouble could he have encountered?"

"How do you know it's not something that happens in the palace?" Huajiao asked, puzzled. How could he guess it just by glancing at it?

Xia Zhi shook her head and said, "This servant heard the young master mentioning the county government, but I didn't hear the specifics..."

"Go and call Uncle Chun," Liu Yuechu instructed. This year, the household would keep things from her, including Granny Fang, who deliberately avoided trouble, fearing that she would get angry and harm her pregnancy. Only Uncle Chun would tell her the truth honestly.

Summer Solstice hurriedly accepted the order and went off.

Uncle Chun did not come immediately, but came to see me an hour later.

"What happened?" Liu Yuechu realized that things might not be simple, otherwise Uncle Chun would not have hidden.

Uncle Chun sighed again and again, "It's because of Song Liu'er. Didn't he save up some money and build a small three-courtyard house before? But his wife bought several servants, one of whom was from the Yan Kingdom."

"He knew about this, and since our family's business had dealings with Yan, he kept the man there. But he didn't expect the county government to suddenly come and arrest him, saying he was a spy."

"Now, not only that Yan man, but also Song Liu'er, his wife, and his children have all been arrested and imprisoned."

"?!!!"

Liu Yuechu immediately got out of bed and hurriedly put on her shoes.

Granny Fang hurriedly came in from outside, "Master, where are you going? If someone is deliberately targeting the Liu family, there's no use in you going!"

"You don't need to worry. The young master has already gone to see the son-in-law, and the son-in-law has already gone to the county government to negotiate." Although Uncle Chun said this, he was full of worry. Everyone knew about the grudge between Wei Gongming and Yuan Cuo, and he was afraid that Wei Gongming was deliberately digging a pit for him in this matter.

Liu Yuechu felt nauseous again, and Huajiao quickly brought over a basin.

But she rubbed her temples, suppressing the turmoil in her stomach. "Is my elder brother at the county government office?"

"Yes, he and his son-in-law are both here."

"Go and call Liu Muchi here." Liu Yuechu kept reminding herself to stay calm.

Her immediate conclusion was that someone had their eye on the Liu family. And they were taking advantage of her health condition, which made it inconvenient for her to see anyone, to do their dirty work!

Uncle Chun immediately instructed Liu Tao to go find someone.

Upon hearing that her sister had learned of the matter, Liu Muchi hurriedly returned to report, "Second sister, don't worry. The county government doesn't have enough evidence, so it's not certain that they can punish Brother Song."

"What has happened recently? Tell me everything, big or small." Liu Yuechu didn't ask Song Liu'er, but only asked Liu Muchi to tell her everything.

Feeling guilty under the gaze of those eyes, Liu Muchi could only give a rough account based on his memory.

"My eldest brother wouldn't let me come to see my second sister, so he went to beg my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law was in charge of the horse farm accounts, but my eldest brother had to fight the Imperial Household Department."

"Big brother really did try his best. Even when Brother Pei offered to help, he refused sternly, saying that it was your business and that outsiders shouldn't interfere."

"So the Third Prince also set his sights on him, and sent Wei Gongming to cause trouble?" Liu Yuechu knew Wei Gongming too well; he was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a profit.

“But this was indeed Brother Song’s oversight. According to the rules, it is not permissible to keep unidentified Yan people around; it is necessary to report to the government,” Liu Muchi said.

Liu Yuechu rubbed her temples. "What is your brother-in-law planning to do?"

“He’s been at the county government office the whole time, and we don’t know what to do yet. I was afraid my second sister would worry, so I came back to tell you first.” Liu Muchi’s words were also very uncertain.

Liu Yuechu remained silent for a moment, and could only wait for Yuan Cuo to return.

But before Yuan Cuo could return, another piece of bad news arrived: "Manager Yao's carriage hit someone today, and he even beat the person up. Now the rivals have taken the matter to the county government, and he's been arrested!"

The fact that two senior stewards were arrested in succession, both cases handled by the county government, clearly indicates that it was no coincidence.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuechu became even calmer, her earlier anger and trembling completely gone. Instead, she asked Granny Fang for a cup of honey water, wanting to drink a few sips of the sweetness to calm herself down.

"Second sister, this is clearly intentional!" Liu Muchi said. "I wonder who's behind this. I'm afraid they'll keep causing trouble for us and drag my brother-in-law into it..."

Liu Yuechu was also thinking about this. There were only a few managers in total. Could Wei Gongming really arrest them all?

"He arrested Yao Wei too, so I'm not in a hurry anymore." Liu Yuechu took off her shoes and lay back down on the couch.

"Go and find your brother-in-law and older brother as well. I'll handle this myself."
