Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 246 Few People

"!!!"

Everyone present was stunned.

No one expected Liu Musheng to say such a thing!

He has always been labeled a "good-for-nothing," considered a playboy who indulges in eating, drinking, and having fun, and who has accomplished nothing.

So when he arrived at the Jiang residence, no one paid any attention to him. Even Jiang Jiuwei only saw him because Chen Zhongyao was there.

But Liu Musheng, whom everyone despises, is the one who first sets rules for Jiang Yunjiao, and in front of so many people, he mentions that the Liu family's business belongs to Liu Yuechu.

And Qin Muyan is still here.

His words were a blatant slap in the face to the Third Prince!

The old lady trembled with rage, pointing at Liu Musheng, speechless. Jiang Yunjiao's face darkened even more; she had actually been rejected by a man she looked down upon?!

She had thought about everyone in the Liu family, but she never expected that the person who disliked her the most was Liu Musheng!

What right does he have to look down on me? He's not worthy of me at all!

Jiang Jiuwei looked at Qin Muyan, full of resentment. This was the son-in-law bestowed upon him by Consort Yu? The ancestors of the Jiang family would be furious!

Qin Muyan's face was ashen, but with Chen Zhongyao staring at her, she could only pretend to be calm and unperturbed.

Jiang Changyang had been squinting for a long time. He had always looked down on the Liu family, but he didn't expect Liu Musheng to dare to say such a thing!

Without saying a word, he went up and punched Liu Musheng. "Do you know what you're saying? With your shitty appearance, you don't deserve to marry my sister. Keep dreaming!"

Liu Musheng didn't dodge and took the punch squarely. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he just wiped it away and didn't seem to care.

Jiang Jiuwei quickly stopped his son from going any further, saying, "The elders are all here, what are you doing!" He looked at Chen Zhongyao and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Zhongyao didn't take it to heart.

If it were him, he would have loved to tear Liu Musheng to pieces.

But Liu Musheng still had no intention of changing, remaining proud and unyielding. "Of course I know what I'm talking about, and I'm also very clear that I'm a good-for-nothing, I'm not worthy of the Jiang family, but what's wrong with me just wanting to do some business to make a living? I'm content with a modest life."

Liu Musheng stood up from the ground and dusted himself off. "I'm just that kind of ungrateful person. My mother passed away when I was young, and my father wasn't home either. I didn't have much manners or upbringing. But I do know who treats me the best and who is closer to me."

"Since it's a meeting between our two families today, I'll get straight to the point. I've already drawn up a contract that I'll separate from my sister's family before marrying her, no matter who she marries. I can't take away her credit, much less let her anger get the better of me. If you want to marry me, then be prepared to live off our savings. You definitely won't starve, but don't expect me to be ambitious. I'm just a person who enjoys eating, drinking, and having fun, and I don't want to change."

Liu Musheng had been thinking about it for a long time, and today, having his pride wounded, he finally made up his mind.

Liu Yuechu was also stunned. She didn't expect her eldest brother, a playboy, to be so tough and dare to say such a thing. She secretly gave him a thumbs up and saw Liu Musheng grinning foolishly.

Liu Yuechan's eyes sparkled, and she just wanted to clap and cheer for her older brother, but she carried a small medicine bag with her and ran straight up to apply medicine to the wound on Liu Musheng's lip.

"Since that's the case, what else is there to say?" Jiang Jiuwei was caught in an awkward situation and couldn't back down.

He looked at Qin Muyan. This marriage was something he and Consort Yu had requested, but what could they do now that things had come to this?

Qin Muyan was also embarrassed and at a loss. He could only resent the old lady. The marriage had already been arranged, so why did she still put on a show of disdain for the Liu family and even said in front of everyone that Jiang Yunjiao should help the Liu family? She was really shameless to say that!

The situation was so awkward it was unbearable.

The other guests were also genuinely shocked by this gossip!

I originally thought the Liu family was trying to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Left Chancellor's family, but it turns out the Liu family didn't even look up to them? This is going to be quite a show, and it's getting even more interesting!

The old lady was trying to figure out what excuse she could come up with to leave this place quickly.

"Your Highness, Master, Imperial Censor Chen..." The person running in from outside the door muttered a string of names, "People from the Court of Judicial Review and the county government have come."

Since the person was sent by Chen Zhongyao, the Jiang family naturally dared not pursue him.

Qin Muyan looked at Chen Zhongyao, "Do you think it's still necessary to summon them?"

Chen Zhongyao said in a serious tone, "Of course, the origin of this scorpion has not yet been investigated. If someone really wants to harm Madam Jiang, I will also be a witness."

Qin Muyan: "..." He mentally cursed every single swear word he would ever say in his life!

"There is no need to trouble Imperial Censor Chen. The fault of my servants is a family matter and does not require Imperial Censor Chen's concern."

Jiang Jiuwei suppressed his rage and wanted to drive everyone away, including Chen Zhongyao, the Liu family, and the people from Dali Temple!

"I just walked in and I heard Jiang Zuo Cheng want to kick me out? That's really not friendly. How could you say that?" The person who came in was Huang Wanwan's father, Huang Fan.

He was originally going to rest at home, but Chen Zhongyao's pageboy came to his house and told him what had happened at the Left Chancellor's residence.

Normally, he could just send a junior official to inquire about this matter, but Huang Wanwan, upon hearing that it was trouble from the Liu family, forced him to come in person.

He originally avoided the Left Chancellor's invitation and made up an excuse not to come, but then he caused trouble and forced him to come.

But he had no choice but to change his clothes and go to the Left Chancellor's residence, unable to refuse his daughter's request.

Jiang Jiuwei was surprised that Huang Fan had come in person, and he could no longer say anything about asking Huang Fan to leave. "The Dali Temple is so busy, why would they make you come all the way here?"

"Of course I must come personally to handle matters concerning the Left Chancellor's residence. It even involves a poisonous scorpion. I must find the culprit so that the Left Chancellor can sleep peacefully!" Huang Fan was a smiling tiger, extremely hypocritical.

Jiang Jiuwei's mouth almost popped out of his head. "Actually, it was the servants who caused the trouble..." He could only give a simple explanation.

The matter was pushed onto the servant in charge of the kitchen, and the Jiang family naturally found a scapegoat.

Moreover, since he was a lackey, Huang Fan had no right to make a move. Wei Gongming had already arrived and ordered someone to bring over the "scapegoat."

Liu Yuechan reluctantly handed over a bag of poisonous scorpions; these were the evidence.

It's yet another fabricated story of intrigue and feuds within the mansion, which is why they used a poisonous scorpion to frame someone...

The servants wept bitterly, saying, "We never expected that Lady Liu would be resting in the tea break room of the opera house. It's all our fault; we almost caused a disaster!"

They were sworn servants of the Jiang family, with no life of their own.

Let them live, let them die.

At least if he dies, his whole family will survive, and his master will give him some money so he can eat and drink without worry.

Liu Yuechu also understood that this matter might not be traced back to Jiang Yunjiao, and it had to end there...

"So even in a strictly regulated mansion, such sordid things happen. Fortunately, the servants in our Liu family don't have such dirty hearts. Of course, there aren't many servants anyway. It's always better to live a simpler life!"
