Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 247 Children

No matter how sarcastic Liu Yuechu was, the Left Chancellor's Mansion could only swallow their anger at this moment, after all, Qin Muyan was present.

Even the old lady sitting in a high position couldn't afford to offend this grandson, since the entire Jiang family was a pawn tied to Consort Yu and her son; their fates were intertwined.

Moreover, the benefits that this mother and daughter bring to the Jiang family are far greater than what Jiang Yujiao could ever achieve.

Qin Muyan also intended to let the matter drop, even though Liu Musheng's attitude was bad and he mentioned "separating the family," she just wanted to put the matter aside for now and discuss it later.

Besides, if Jiang Yujiao really marries into the Liu family, what use would it be for Liu Musheng to separate from the family?

A momentary dispute over loyalty is something only a fool would care about.

"The misunderstanding has been cleared up today, and Grandmother's birthday banquet will continue." Qin Muyan looked at Chen Zhongyao, "Lord Huang is also here. How about staying and having a couple of drinks with me?"

He also wanted to get closer to Huang Fan, who had always been a neutral party, neither close to the Crown Prince nor to him.

Huang Fan waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no, I have to go back to the Dali Temple to handle some affairs. I only took a break to come and see you. There are still things waiting for me to deal with back there."

"It's the old lady's birthday, Lord Huang won't be in a hurry." Qin Muyan made it clear that she didn't want him to leave.

Jiang Jiuwei also extended a warm invitation, saying, "That's right. I invited you before, but you were tied up with official business. Didn't you come to my residence for official business as well? In the end, you just have to come."

Huang Fan couldn't refuse any longer, so he looked at Chen Zhongyao beside him and asked, "Then let's listen to Imperial Censor Chen?"

Chen Zhongyao nodded, "I'd be honored to accept your offer." He looked at Liu Yuechu beside him, "If you're tired, you can go back and rest first." Since they had already broken off all pretense of civility, there was no need to give this old hag any face.

Liu Yuechu also wanted to leave, and Chen Zhongyao was clearly trying to get rid of her first.

"I'll escort Yue Niang to the door." Liu Musheng had something he wanted to discuss with Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu nodded in agreement and instructed the servants to prepare the carriage at the gate.

Qin Muyan looked embarrassed, but she did not stop Liu Yuechu. Today's matter seemed to have been downplayed, but in fact, she had already secretly left a hook in her heart.

Since Chen Zhongyao is willing to stay, there's no need to worry about Liu Musheng daring to disobey the imperial decree and refuse to marry Jiang Yunjiao...

While Liu Yuechu was waiting, she was spotted by someone in the shadows.

Li Shu.

Wei Gongming is now a trusted advisor of the Third Prince, so the Guan family will naturally try to curry favor with the Left Chancellor's office.

Today is the old lady's birthday, and they came to celebrate after receiving an invitation.

But when she saw Liu Yuechu dare to stand up to the old lady, and when she saw Liu Musheng dare to look down on Jiang Yunjiao, she felt that the Liu family in front of her was not the Liu family she knew.

After the recent incident involving the poisonous scorpions, Madam Guan had already fled to other courtyards to hide, fearing that some poisonous creature might emerge and sting her.

Li Shu didn't want to leave; she wanted to see how Liu Yuechu would resolve this situation.

She couldn't understand where Liu Yuechu got the audacity to act so recklessly in the Left Chancellor's residence. She even showed no fear in front of the Third Prince…

What is it about Liu Yuechu that makes her deserving of so much care and attention? Just looking at the loving gaze Chen Zhongyao gives her, Li Shu's bones turned white...

"Isn't the commotion over there over yet? I'm still waiting to take the baby to see the old lady and kowtow to her for her birthday!" Tian Ya Yun said as she came out carrying the baby.

Logically speaking, Tian Yage shouldn't have been allowed to show her face today. When Madam Guan wanted to bring her along, Li Shu forcefully refused.

But last time, because Li Shu sent the wrong message, Qin Muyan was rejected as a prince, and Wei Gongming was also beaten... Now her status in the Zhenning Marquis's mansion is not even as good as an old maid, and anyone dares to give her a dirty look.

Therefore, Li Shu's protests were ineffective, and she could only allow Guan to bring Tian Ya Yun, a concubine, and her eldest son to the Left Chancellor's residence.

"The young master hasn't even had a chance to come forward yet, what are you doing running around here?!" Li Shu scolded in a low voice, finding the child even more displeasing.

"The young master is here? Where is he?" Tian Yage immediately stood on tiptoe and looked around. She hadn't seen Wei Gongming for a long time.

"Stop fooling around, this is the Left Chancellor's residence!" Li Shu suddenly had an idea and tried to take the child away.

Tian Ya-yun immediately shrank back into her arms, "What do you want to do?"

"Do you think the old lady of the Left Chancellor's mansion would kick the young master out if she knew he brought a concubine and a son from a concubine to celebrate his birthday?" Li Shu forcefully snatched the child into her arms. "Only if I, the young master's wife, take him there will the old lady have a chance to see him. Besides, he is already registered under my name. Once he can speak, he will call me 'mother'."

“If you don’t understand the rules of the mansions in the capital, go back and ask Madam Hou. If she agrees to let you go to wish the old lady a happy birthday alone, I won’t stop you.”

Tian Yayun was dubious.

Having lived in the capital for a while, she realized that the rules here were paramount, even more so than life itself.

"Go ahead and ask, I'm not going to listen to you anyway."

She turned and ran to find Madam Guan, hoping she would arrive soon. Since the Zhenning Marquis's household was celebrating the birthday together, Madam Guan naturally wouldn't leave her out…

Looking at the sleeping child in her arms, Li Shu suddenly smiled lovingly, "I'll take you to meet your mother's best confidante."

The child was uncomfortable being held and kicked his legs a few times.

But Li Shu carried him straight towards Liu Yuechu's direction, already having a better plan in mind!

Liu Yuechu was waiting for the carriage at this moment.

They arrived through the side gate, but they couldn't leave in such a sorry state, so they had to let the carriage move to the main entrance. The area in front of the gate was bustling with traffic, making it difficult to walk, and naturally, the wait was longer.

"Master, the carriage is ready, and the sedan chair is also prepared." A servant came, bringing with him a small sedan chair that had been prepared.

They had already had a falling out with the Jiang family, so naturally they dared not ride in the Jiang family's sedan chair when they left, for fear that the Jiang family would try to trick them.

Liu Yuechu nodded, preparing to summon Liu Musheng.

But as soon as she turned her head, she saw Li Shu. And seeing that Li Shu was holding a child in her arms, she guessed it was the one Tian Ya Yun had given birth to.

She couldn't help but think of her past life, how this child grew up to be a combination of all the flaws of Wei Gongming and Tian Yage.

He was mediocre, greedy, calculating, ugly, and extremely unfilial.

But this was Wei Gongming's eldest son, whom he boasted about and loved to show off wherever he went.

If Wei Gongming in this life is also a reincarnated person, what will happen when he grows up?

Should we change our educational approach? Or should we ignore it?

After all, he's his own flesh and blood, so he should still cherish and spoil him, right?

Before the thought could even settle in her mind, Li Shu had already walked over with the child.

"You haven't met my son yet, have you? I've been wanting to bring him to see you, and it just so happens that today is the perfect opportunity."

Li Shu's tone was very calm, as if she had never had any conflict with Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu had no interest in the child and felt that Li Shu had become harsh even though she hadn't been married for very long.

"Since you didn't give birth to her, I don't need to look at her, right?" Liu Yuechu suddenly blurted out.
