Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 390 Not Allowed

Li Shilang launched into a tirade against Madam Li, but Li Shu threatened to hang herself, forcing her parents to temporarily put aside their grievances and stop arguing.

In a fit of anger, Madam Li fainted.

Vice Minister Li hurriedly invited Physician Sun, and they worked all night until dawn before finally stopping.

Exhausted, Physician Sun didn't go straight home after finishing his business with the Li family. Instead, he went to see Liu Yuechu.

Today was the day he was to examine Xiao Tuanzi and Xiao Baozi. After all, they were premature babies. Even though they were now chubby and well-fed, Emperor Qi Xiao still required Physician Sun to visit them every other day.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Liu family's residence weren't too far apart, and he happened to be going that way.

Liu Yuechu and Yuan Cuo had just gotten up and were still a little tired, but when they saw that Doctor Sun had dark circles under his eyes and a sallow complexion, they asked Huajiao to tell the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.

Dr. Sun was doing his routine work and first examined the two little children.

Once he was sure the two were alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ate a bowl of fish soup wontons. He then asked for another bowl, feeling a bit hungry.

“I was called to work all night yesterday and didn’t even have a sip of water. I was feeling stuffy in my chest, but the breakfast at your residence made me feel much better. I’d like another serving.”

"Eat whatever you want, and if you run out, just have the kitchen make more. Why are you saying it with such flowery language? Does the Imperial Hospital also require everyone to be a top scholar?" Liu Yuechu couldn't help but laugh.

Sichuan peppercorns went to get the food with a smile.

Summer Solstice and Grain Rain bring other foods.

Sun Yizheng was Liu Yuechan's master and not an outsider. He then mentioned that the Li family had been making a fuss all night. "This matter is also related to Madam Liu. I heard that this young lady of the Li family wanted to see you, which caused the Li Minister and his wife to have a big argument, so Madam Li fainted from anger."

Liu Yuechu: "???"

"Why do you insist on seeing me?" She really didn't understand what Li Shu wanted to do. "I'm not a matchmaker, I can't tie the red thread between two people that's about to break."

"I don't know about that, after all, I'm an outsider, and Minister Li won't say too much." Physician Sun made a few remarks and then stopped.

When Huajiao brought over three more bowls of chicken soup with wontons, he ate and drank them heartily.

After finishing his meal and wiping his mouth, he went straight to the Imperial Hospital to take up his post.

Yuan Cuo wasn't in a hurry to go today. "If you're curious, I'll go with you to take a look?"

He didn't care about Li Shu; he was only doing it to satisfy Liu Yuechu's curiosity.

Liu Yuechu shook her head again, "There's no need." Ever since giving birth to her son and daughter, she has not wanted to get involved in anything that doesn't concern her.

Whether it's Li Shu or Wei Gongming, they are people she wants to erase from her memory; she has absolutely no curiosity about them.

Yuan Cuo nodded. "Then I'll go to the palace to check on the situation. You stay home and take good care of yourself." As he left, he specifically called Hou Lai and the secret guards.

“Since Madam doesn’t like it, then don’t let the Li family get near the mansion. Make their carriages turn away when they are two streets away.”

Hou Lai: "..."

This is still Liu Yuechu, and he's already so domineering and reckless. If the two little ones grow up, wouldn't he, their biological father, be so arrogant and domineering?

But he only dared to grumble in his heart, not to say it aloud.

After receiving the order, he gave instructions to the people in the shadows.

Liu Tao also heard the news and notified all the beggars in the capital that Li Shu and Wei Gongming were not allowed to approach the Liu family.

Since he was given the surname Liu, the beggars in the capital city automatically took him as their leader and obeyed his orders.

After all, Yuan Cuo's illustrious achievements made him a hero praised by the people. In secret, Yuan Cuo's words were like imperial edicts.

Liu Yuechu was unaware of Yuan Cuo's secret arrangements and continued to happily stay at home with her two little ones, quietly recuperating.

After Mrs. Li woke up, she no longer felt the chest tightness she had the night before.

Li Shu remained absent-minded, sitting in one spot for hours on end.

Li Shilang has already left. Only Li Shu and Madam Li remain at the Zhenning Marquis's residence. Wei Gongming has not returned to his residence to recuperate, but has instead gone to one of the Third Prince's outer residences.

He will not return to the mansion until the divorce is finalized.

Li Shu looked around anxiously, but no one came.

"Go pack your things, I'll go with you to the Liu family." Madam Li didn't want her daughter to continue like this, so she had no choice but to compromise. "But you have to promise me that when you see Liu Yuechu, you won't get emotional. After you've said what you want to say, we'll come back and settle the divorce properly, and release your older brother, okay?"

She pleaded humbly, hoping that Li Shu would wake up soon and recognize reality.

Upon hearing this, Li Shu stared blankly for a long time.

"Is Mother really willing to come with me?" she asked again.

Madam Li was extremely reluctant, but she still nodded. "As long as you agree to what I just said, I will risk my reputation and make sure that Liu Yuechu can meet with you."

Li Shu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll do anything as long as Mother lets me see her!"

She left those words behind and immediately rushed back into the house to tidy up.

She washed her face and put on makeup.

She then chose her most beautiful spring dress and jacket, and also brought along a set of gilded red jeweled hairpins with colorful lotus-shaped carvings.

After getting ready, Li Shu asked her maid to leave first.

She fiddled around in the room for a while before hurriedly leaving and following Madam Li into the carriage.

Madam Li kept looking at her daughter from the carriage, but Li Shu didn't see her at all.

"Why aren't they here yet?" Li Shu asked anxiously.

The coachman drove back and forth, turning this way and that, but he couldn't get to the street where the Liu family mansion was located.

"I don't know what happened, the road is blocked. I'll go down and ask." The coachman stopped the carriage by the roadside and could only get out to find out the situation before making any further decisions.

Li Shu lifted the carriage curtain and watched the driver talking to the beggar on the street.

The coachman's face grew increasingly grim. After understanding the situation, he returned to report to them.

"When the Duke of Baoguo left home, he gave the order that we and the Crown Prince of Wei were not allowed to approach the streets in front of the Liu family's house..."

"This, how could this be..." Madam Li had not expected Yuan Cuo to be so resolute in his actions.

"We're now separated by two streets, stopped by beggars. Once we enter the inner street, there are not only beggars, but also guards from the Duke of Baoguo's mansion." The coachman had just given the little beggar some money before the beggars were willing to say a few more words.

Madam Li felt a burning embarrassment on her face, but after thinking it over carefully, she realized there was nothing she could do about Yuan Cuo.

After all, this man is a hero of the Great Qi and the Duke of Baoguo, and even Emperor Qi Xiao gives him some leeway.

Li Shu was furious and rushed forward to kick the horse's rump. "I must see her! I refuse to believe anyone can stop me from seeing her!"

Madam Li was startled and quickly tried to stop him.

With this tearing and pulling, a dagger and many thin, long, sharp needles fell out of Li Shu's body!
