Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 391 True or False

Madam Li was truly dumbfounded when she saw this scene.

Aren't all these items murder weapons? What was she planning to do with them?!

“Li Shu, you’ve been wanting to see Liu Yuechu, and it turns out that…” Madam Li thought of the most terrifying possibility, but she didn’t even dare to say it aloud.

Li Shu didn't expect the things she had hidden to fall out. She immediately squatted down to pick them up, but Madam Li pushed her away!

"What exactly do you want? Explain yourself! Li Shu, you're a human being, you're not crazy!"

"What can I do? Do you think I want to kill Liu Yuechu?" Li Shu chuckled self-deprecatingly. "You really think too highly of me. Even if I wish for her to die, to die completely, I don't have the guts to actually kill her!"

"I just want to tear up her tattered paper kite. If it weren't for her choosing a husband through a paper kite, how would I have met Wei Gongming, and how would I have become so determined to marry him!"

"I will break this curse! I must break this kite!"

"This is my nightmare. If it doesn't end, I can't sleep at night. How am I supposed to live like this?!"

Li Shu screamed hysterically for a while, then burst into tears.

Madam Li hadn't expected that she would actually try to tear that kite apart. Although the idea was somewhat ridiculous, she could understand it.

"I'll go see Yuechu, I'll buy that kite for you to cut, okay?" she sobbed.

Li Shu squatted on the ground and sobbed, "What kind of bewitching me is this? I've compromised so much, and he still despises me!"

"Mother, I've done so many wrong things, why did you save me instead of letting me die like this..."

She cried and sobbed uncontrollably, her head spun, her vision went black, and she staggered a few steps before fainting!

Madam Li quickly had her maid help Li Shu back to her room. She did not go to the Liu residence, but went directly to the Princess's residence.

Princess Chen did not expect Madam Li to come looking for her so suddenly.

Upon seeing her, Madam Li immediately knelt down on the ground with a "plop"!

"Please, Your Highness, save my daughter..."

Princess Chen was startled.

She helped Mrs. Li up and reassured her, saying gently, "Tell me everything slowly. We've been friends for many years. Don't frighten me; my heart can't take a fright!"

Madam Li stood up and told them about Li Shu's divorce.

"She's obsessed; she only wants that paper kite. It's as if only if the paper kite is torn apart can she untangle her knot in her heart..."

Princess Chen was puzzled and felt that the matter was somewhat mysterious.

However, she wasn't sure if Liu Yuechu would agree to this request. "Actually, if you talk to Yuechu, she might not simply disagree. It's just that the kite was, after all, a token of her love with Yuan Cuo..."

“It’s not that I didn’t want to go, but the Duke of Baoguo ordered that our carriages were not allowed to go to the street where the Liu family’s residence is located.” Madam Li was quite embarrassed when she talked about this. “I don’t blame the Duke of Baoguo. If it were our family, we would also prioritize the safety of the children and women and would not want to get involved in this trouble.”

"So I beg Princess Chen to help me pass on a message, even if it's just to fool her with a fake kite, I really have no other choice!"

……

Mrs. Li was rambling on and on, and somewhat obsessed.

Princess Chen had to persuade her quite a bit before she was finally sent away, and told her to return to her residence to await news.

Liu Yuechu was leisurely eating her meal at home when news spread that Princess Chen had arrived.

She was somewhat surprised, and then Princess Chen told her about Madam Li's request for kites.

"...That child is also obsessed. If all else fails, why don't you make a fake one to fool him? Now that he's come to me for help, I don't want to see Madam Li looking so exhausted."

"It was all for the children, and she really suffered."

……

Liu Yuechu was also a little confused. "Why didn't she just send someone to tell me directly, just because of the kite? Why did she insist on talking to me alone?"

"It's also because of the need to save face, that I'm embarrassed to say it, and I'm afraid of being rejected by you and losing face." Princess Chen understood all too well the boring hypocrisy in the residences of high-ranking officials.

Liu Yuechu pouted. She couldn't understand, but since Princess Chen had already spoken, she had no choice but to agree.

"Huajiao, go and take out the kites from the cabinet and choose one." She didn't want to delay and wanted to get things done as soon as possible so that Li Chengyue could be released sooner.

Hua Jiao agreed and immediately turned to get it.

Princess Chen was taken aback for a moment, "The kite used for the marriage selection wasn't the one your father drew?" It sounded like there were several of them.

Liu Yuechu stuck out her tongue but didn't offer any further explanation.

After taking out a pile of peppercorns, she picked and chose which ones to show Princess Chen. "You know my father's paintings, can you tell which one is genuine?"

Princess Chen and Liu Yuechu's mother were best friends, so she naturally knew a lot about her father's paintings.

Princess Chen felt a blur before her eyes, and wondered why so many magpies were perched on the branches.

She looked down and examined it carefully. The flying white strokes, the flowing ink, the three-colored clouds in one stroke... every one of them looked like Liu Zhong's handwriting.

"Your father didn't draw this when he was bored, did he? These are all his drawings!"

"So you can't tell either?" Liu Yuechu chuckled to herself, secretly pleased.

"You brat, hurry up and tell me, which one is real?" Princess Chen looked at them for a long time, then picked one out. "I don't know which one is real, but this one is definitely not real. Look at this painting skill, how perfunctory it is."

“The one you picked is the real one.” Liu Yuechu pointed to a red rope above. “This is my father’s original work. I tied it here on purpose, otherwise it would be confused if it fell inside.”

"This? Really?" Princess Chen was somewhat unwilling to believe it. "But the brushwork here is far inferior to the others. Surely no one can paint better than your father?"

“Yuan Cuo, of course.” Liu Yuechu said with a touch of pride and great joy, “He was the one who helped me fool Wei Gongming with a fake kite back then. If I hadn’t discovered his exceptional talent early on, I wouldn’t have married him.”

Although she had told Princess Chen that she had chosen Yuan Cuo as her son-in-law, she hadn't specified the details.

Princess Chen was dumbfounded. "I never expected this brat to have such abilities?"

“My aunt’s family even tried to force him to make Suzhou films before…” Liu Yuechu recalled the events of two or three years ago, as if a long, long time had passed.

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, she got married and became a mother.

However, she herself has crafted a very complete story for this life.

"So, just pick one at random and give it to Li Shu. Let her carve it however she likes." Liu Yuechu randomly picked one and handed it to Huajiao. "Take it to Madam Li and let them decide how to handle it."

"As for Li Shu, it's best if I don't see her."

"Actually, whether a relationship is good or bad has nothing to do with that kite."

"It all comes down to the people..."
