After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang woke up a little late. He was dazed for a while before he woke up, but his eyelids still felt heavy.

My spirit is getting worse and worse every day, and I can't stand up anymore.

After calling Jin Yan, it was Xiao Wu who came.

"Sanniang, you're awake." The little girl ran forward and looked at her worriedly, "Sanniang, you look so bad, are you sick?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Help me up."

Xiaowu climbed onto the bed and helped Liu Yunxiang up with difficulty.

"Sanniang, I feel that your body is so stiff."

"Well, indeed, it will be fine if we move around later."

After Xiao Wu helped her up, she ran outside to bring her a basin and toiletries.

"Where's Jinyan?"

"Jinyan said he should go to the east courtyard and have a look."

Liu Yunxiang nodded and let the little girl serve him. After washing up, Jinyan came back.

"The fifth girl is so awesome, she can take care of others." Jinyan praised.

Xiao Wu looked proud, "I know a lot!"

"For example?" Liu Yunxiang asked while letting Jin Yan change her clothes.

"I can embroider, write, play chess, and draw." Xiao Wu said with his fingers.

"So which one do you like best?"

Xiao Wu pouted, "I don't even like it."

"Oh?"

Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Liu Yunxiang and whispered: "Sanniang, can I study medicine?"

Liu Yunxiang was slightly startled, "Are you studying medicine?"

There are very few women studying medicine, especially girls from official families. After all, they are only a few who have such an unexpected encounter as Qu Moran.

But compared to those in poetry and books, they are indeed more practical. With a skill, you can support yourself in the future.

"Do you really want to learn?"

Xiao Wu nodded quickly, but then shook his head, "Grandma and mother will definitely not agree."

"What do you want them to agree to do when you are by my side."

"But I don't want Sanniang to be scolded by them."

Liu Yunxiang rubbed Xiao Wu's head and said, "Sanniang is not afraid of them. Let's do this. I will take you to meet someone in two days to see if she is willing to accept you as her disciple."

Entrusting Xiao Wu to Qu Moran, she can feel at ease.

While serving Liu Yunxiang's meal, Jin Yan couldn't help it.

"Girl, don't you ask me what I learned when I went to the east courtyard?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "You can say whatever you want."

Jin Yan pouted, but still said: "This family was very frightened. They were all in the east courtyard last night. It is said that the old lady couldn't bear it and fainted. I only found out the news in the morning, saying that the man had not yet He lost his breath and was seriously injured. It’s hard to say whether he will survive.”

Having said this, Jin Yan glanced at Liu Yunxiang and said, "I still thought that if he died, you would be clean."

Liu Yunxiang glared at Jin Yan, "What does it have to do with me."

Jinyan stuck out his tongue and said: "The whole capital knows about the second master's assassination of Yan Mu. People are talking about it in the streets and alleys. Although they don't know the conflict between the two, they all say that he deserves it."

"How come everyone in the streets knows what happened late last night?"

"I don't know, but he is getting married tomorrow and he is still unconscious. I'm afraid..."

The entire Hou family was in trepidation for a whole day, but they did not wait for the emperor to hold him accountable or the government to arrest him. Gradually, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think the emperor asked someone to investigate the reason and find out why the second son killed Yan Mu. No man can bear such shame and humiliation. Maybe he also thought that Yan Mu deserved to die and deliberately ignored the matter." The old lady said to everyone in relief.

But after she said this, Xie Zian's face turned a little ugly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "No man can bear it, and neither can I, so I'll divorce Liu Yunxiang."

The old lady snorted coldly, "When the big traitor dies and she has no one to rely on, I'll give it up, but she'll have to suffer enough."

Xie Zian pursed his lips, "Then just listen to mother."

As soon as the mother and son finished speaking, an eunuch came from Dongchang, greeted him with a smile, and then said: "We have many sons, but the one who loves me the most is Master Qi."

As soon as these words came out, mother and son trembled non-stop.

The eunuch still smiled and continued: "Have the white flags been prepared in the house?"

The old lady wiped her sweat and said, "This..."

"When Yan's house hangs it up, your house will hang it up too, but you need to be more prepared. After all, your house has a lot of people."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady collapsed on the ground in fear.

"For now, why not burn more incense and ask Buddha to bless our seventh master to be okay." The eunuch said with a smile and looked around again: "By the way, where is the third lady in the house?"

Xie Zian swallowed a sip of saliva and said to the boy next to him: "Quick, go find the third lady."

"No need, I just want to say hello to the third lady on behalf of our governor, please convey it to the third master."

After the eunuch left, Xie Zian wiped his cold sweat and turned back to look at the old lady: "Liu Yunxiang can't let go, she is our family's life-saving talisman."

The old lady's face turned pale and her mouth trembled slightly, "Yes, I can't give up. I didn't expect Shangguan Xu to support her."

When she saw the second lady, Mrs. Xue, sitting aside blankly, as if it had nothing to do with her, she was so angry that she hit her with a cane, "You are a loser, it's all your fault!"

The second lady suddenly smiled, looked up and asked the old lady, "Now that the whole capital knows that I have been to Orchid Garden, and my natal family, Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, will also know, how will I behave in the future?"

"You should have hanged yourself when you came back from Orchid Garden, so as to protect your reputation and that of the Marquis Mansion!"

"Haha, I want me to die!" Ms. Xue laughed even louder. She pointed at the old lady and Xie Zixuan who was sulking behind, "You want me to die!"

"Okay, don't go crazy. Don't you like to burn incense and worship Buddha? Now go to the small Buddhist hall to pray for Yan Mu and ask Buddha to protect him from death."

Ms. Xue walked around the hall with a smile and saw clearly the faces of the people in the Hou Mansion. Then she stopped in the middle and shouted: "You are all wrong, Yan Mu has never touched me at all!"

Xie Zixuan frowned, "If he never touched you, why didn't you defend yourself?"

Ms. Xue tilted her head, with a hint of madness in her expression. She looked at Xie Zixuan steadily and said, "I would rather it be him!"

"What do you mean?"

"That night, there was a beggar with a face full of pustules. He was so disgusting, so dirty, and so smelly. He touched me!" Xue laughed.
