Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 285 Coincidence

Since Princess Chen had spoken, Liu Yuechu immediately expressed her gratitude and sent someone to deliver an invitation to Huang Wanwan.

Seeing that it was a letter from the Princess's residence, the Huang family, no matter how dissatisfied they were with Huang Wanwan, had no choice but to let her go out to the Princess's residence to be a guest.

Huang Wanwan got the consent and stopped worrying about the rules.

She hurriedly left the Huang family and went straight to the Princess's residence.

When he saw Liu Yuechu, he smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

She was so immersed in grief over her mother's death and her father's indifference that she didn't shed a single tear.

But the moment she saw Liu Yuechu, tears welled up in her eyes like a raging sea, and she couldn't stop them. She threw herself into Liu Yuechu's arms and cried hysterically, her tears just wouldn't stop.

Granny Fang was a little worried, but she couldn't stop them.

Liu Yuechu held her tightly in his arms.

No one understood this feeling of despair mixed with a glimmer of hope better than her. She knew that the greatest sorrow never sheds tears. Only then did Huang Wanwan dare to let down her guard and truly become the real Huang Wanwan again.

……

After letting Huang Wanwan cry until her tears dried, Liu Yuechu instructed the maids to fetch water, "Wash your face, your makeup is all ruined from crying. You still have to kowtow to the princess later."

Huang Wanwan quickly wiped away her tears, "I'm so sorry, how could I cry in your arms? My little nephew will laugh at me to death when he comes out!"

"Then give her more money to shut her up. If that doesn't work, give her even more." Liu Yuechu looked at her long, thin face; she had really lost a lot of weight.

Huang Wanwan pursed her lips and after a long while said, "Thank you."

Liu Yuechu reassured her, "Don't worry, even if no one at home supports you, the Princess's Mansion will. I've already spoken to the Princess, and my brother wants to marry you." Liu Yuechu chuckled.

Huang Wanwan's face paled in surprise, turning as red as a ripe cherry. "Why did you tell the princess about this..."

"If you don't speak up, why should the princess support you? She is my and my elder brother's godmother. You'll be calling her 'mother-in-law' in the future," Liu Yuechu said, feigning domineeringness.

Huang Wanwan's face was burning hot. She had thought that the kowtow Liu Yuechu mentioned was just a greeting, but with this other matter added, it was more than just a simple kowtow!

"But I didn't dress up much today..." She looked at her plain clothes.

Her mother had passed away less than 100 days ago, and she was still wearing mourning clothes.

"Don't worry, the princess said that there aren't many rules in the household. We won't bring up marriage right now. The priority is to take care of things in your household first." Liu Yuechu didn't want to pressure her. At least she should live comfortably first before considering marriage.

Huang Wanwan understood her feelings, and her gratitude was evident in her eyes.

Huajiao and Xiazhi had already brought water for washing up and makeup items, so Huang Wanwan didn't delay any longer and quickly washed up and dressed up again, even retying her hair.

While she was busy, Liu Yuechu also mentioned that Huang Yan was having a lot of fun.

“Your elder brother has been assigned to manage horses in the army, and he will be by Yuan Cuo’s side, so you can rest assured.”

Huang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, her biggest worry finally put to rest. "It's not that I don't trust your brother, but Yuan Cuo is definitely more reliable."

“I wouldn’t mind if you said he was unreliable.”

Liu Yuechu picked up the fruit and fed it to her. "The reason why the princess agreed so readily is because my elder brother is so unreliable. If such an unreliable person can marry you, it is truly a blessing from heaven."

"Actually, he doesn't look that great, but he's not bad either." Huang Wanwan hadn't thought much of Liu Musheng before, but now that she had to compare him to someone else, she realized he wasn't so bad.

Whether compared to his own family or to that Lü Shan, Liu Musheng, though a gossip, could at least handle things.

Liu Yuechu smiled. It seemed that these two might actually make it work?

She simply applied a little powder to her face to avoid looking sallow and unsightly, and then took Huang Wanwan to see Princess Chen.

Princess Chen was currently pondering the incense that Liu Yuechu had just sent.

"Come here, come here, let me take a good look at you." Princess Chen smiled and waved when she saw Huang Wanwan.

She had seen the girl before, but she didn't treat her as her adopted son's wife. If her own son couldn't get married, having a godson would be a good alternative.

Huang Wanwan blushed, moved closer, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Princess Chen, "...Thank you for helping Wanwan, Princess. I will never forget this kindness."

Her broken engagement has caused a huge uproar, and she has fallen out with her father, aunt, concubines, brothers and sisters in the household. Anyone else would definitely stay away from her.

Princess Chen let her kowtow, then had the maids help her up and sit down beside her. "I am not in a position to interfere in the affairs of the Huang family's inner quarters, even as a princess. But if you suffer any grievances, you can use the Princess's residence to get support. If you really can't take it anymore, send someone to deliver an invitation to come and rest here for a couple of days."

"Anyway, you'll be staying at the Princess's residence at the beginning of the month, so the two of you will have company."

"My household has many favors to repay, so if you want to show your face, then do so; if not, then hide with her. No one will blame you."

“Mu Sheng was indeed unreliable before, and even I didn’t want to talk to him. But I’m at ease knowing that you can tame him. If I can help him marry you, I’ll be laughing in my sleep. I’ll also be worthy of their mother’s and my good sister’s request.”

……

Princess Chen spoke frankly and clearly stated her purpose.

This also serves as a message to Huang Wanwan: there are consequences for the Princess's Mansion's intervention.

Huang Wanwan understood that Liu Yuechu had already laid the groundwork, saying, "I also like him and will help him out."

“There’s no need to be too polite to him. I really can’t stand how comfortable he is.” Princess Chen smiled happily. “Quickly bring some fruit for Wanwan to try. These were brought back from the Southwest. You can’t buy them in the capital.”

"This incense smells really good. Was it made by the craftsmen in your shop?" Princess Chen looked at Liu Yuechu again.

Liu Yuechu also smelled it. "It was given to me by a doctor from a pharmacy. My little one in my belly doesn't like it, so I can only give it to you as a token of my respect."

“It’s very calming, and the smell makes me want to sleep.” Princess Chen leaned back on the couch, half asleep. “But I haven’t had a moment’s rest since I returned to the capital, so I’m probably just too tired.”

Huang Wanwan also smelled the fragrance. Why does it smell so familiar?

She leaned closer to smell it, and it smelled exactly the same as the incense in her mother's room!

That incense was a gift from my aunt to my mother. Could it be that my aunt also obtained it from that doctor?

“You like it too? If you do, I’ll send someone to ask him for some more another day,” Liu Yuechu said with a smile.

Huang Wanwan's expression was serious. "My mother used this incense before; it was a gift from my aunt."

Liu Yuechu suddenly realized, "It seems his skills are quite good? Even someone as picky as your aunt can use his cooking."

She had met Ding Huangshi before and knew her temperament. Huang Wanwan's mind was a bit confused; she felt it was all too coincidental.

"What was the name of the person who gave you the incense?"
