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

Liu Yunxiang watched the staggering people entering the room. A gust of cold wind came in, and she shivered. Then she looked at Yan Mu. He took off his cloak and fell on the Arhat bed by the window.

He hugged his shoulders, maybe because of the cold, and was shivering. He couldn't sleep well, he tossed and turned, and then he suddenly felt sick, so he quickly got up and rushed out.

The sound of vomiting was heard, and Liu Yunxiang sighed heavily.

She stood up with difficulty, put on her cloak, poured another cup of tea, and carried it out.

The moonlight was clear and he was lying on the steps in front of the court, like a puddle of mud. Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and kicked him on the shoulder.

"No, drink some water."

He looked up at her, and the scar on the left side of his face looked particularly hideous in the dim moonlight. An ugly person will have a scar on his face, which makes him uglier. However, a person who was once stunningly beautiful will have a scar on his face, which will be shocking.

Liu Yunxiang didn't dare to look and looked away for a moment.

He looked at her steadily and saw that her hand holding the cup was trembling slightly. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, reached out to catch the cup, and put it directly into his mouth, causing it to spill all over his face.

He was confused for a moment, and then he laughed softly.

He first laughed with his head buried in his head, then looked up to the sky and laughed, then stood up and pulled out a dagger from his waist and started dancing.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, the north wind was howling, and the snow in the distance made the night seem even more chilling. He drank too much, his steps were sloppy, and his moves were really sharp, with a heavy murderous intent.

Liu Yunxiang frowned tightly as he looked at the people in the courtyard. He still remembered him drinking and laughing on the high platform in the Orchid Garden, as if everything in the world was in the palm of his hand. But at this moment, he was also laughing, but his smile was sad, and he no longer had the same spirit as before.

The scar is on the face, and the shame is etched into the soul.

Now he really looks like a madman.

His attacks became more and more ruthless, and the hatred in his heart became more and more acute, rapidly accumulating in his heart, destroying his sanity. He turned around again, pointed the tip of the knife directly at Liu Yunxiang's stomach, and then stopped suddenly.

Liu Yunxiang took two steps back in shock and looked at Yan Mu again. He was pointing the knife at her stomach with murderous intent.

She gritted her teeth angrily, walked around and slapped him.

"What are you crazy about!"

"He shouldn't have been born."

Liu Yunxiang was so angry that he slapped him again, "No father would be as cruel as you!"

"He is the cause of trouble..."

Liu Yunxiang slapped him again, "Incompetent, coward!"

There were three slaps in succession, but Liu Yunxiang still didn't lose his mind. He slapped them all on the right side of his face, avoiding the scar on the left side to prevent the wound from cracking again.

Yan Mu tasted the smell of blood and stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth. There was a lot of blood on his hand.

He swayed, looked up at Liu Yunxiang, obviously a little timid, and then walked around her into the house.

Liu Yunxiang let out a long breath and followed him into the room. He saw Yan Mu already lying on the Arhat bed, curled up and gasping in pain from time to time.

She ignored him and went back to bed.

When Liu Yunxiang woke up the next morning, she saw Yan Mu sitting in front of the dowry she usually made, looking in the mirror.

"Why haven't you gone on duty yet?"

Usually when she wakes up, he has already gone out.

Yan Mu turned around, "How can I go out like this?"

Liu Yunxiang looked up and burst out laughing. Needless to say, there was a scar on the left side of his face. She slapped her hard three times on the right side of his face. After a night, it was bruised and swollen, and it was really hard to see.

Yan Mu glared at her, angrily returned to the Arhat's bed, hugged his shoulders and ignored her.

At this time, Jin Yan came in and saw Yan Mu. She couldn't help laughing, but she quickly put it away and came to the bed to help Liu Yunxiang get up.

"Girl, it's a nice day today. It's rare that there's no wind."

Liu Yunxiang took the wet handkerchief and wiped his hands, "Then let's go for a walk on the street later."

In fact, this winter is so cold that even if there is no wind, it is still biting. It wasn't until the afternoon that it got a little warmer. Yan Mu went to the Yamen, and Liu Yunxiang let Jin Yan help him out of the alley.

Unexpectedly, the street was quite lively, and many shops were even hung with red silk.

Jinyan asked passers-by and found out that in two days it would be the Wanshou Festival, the birthday of the Queen Mother. It was a grand event in the palace, but the people just hung up red silk to add to the celebration.

When I arrived at Lingyun Grain Shop, I met Zhang Qi walking out.

"Is Prince Lu okay?" she asked.

A few days ago, she asked Zhang Qi to hide Lu Changan.

Zhang Qi scratched his head, "I just wanted to tell you that Prince Lu has left."

"leave?"

"Yes, I brought him food today. There is no one in the yard anymore. I don't know when he left."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "If he comes back again, please give me a message."

On the way home, Liu Yunxiang thought about what had happened in the past few days and always felt uneasy, as if a storm was coming. She looked up and saw a girl wearing a scarlet satin embroidered with peony flowers and a rabbit fur border on the street. Her face was full of urgency, and she was begging for passers-by.

"Auntie, my money bag has been stolen. Can you lend me some money? I will pay you back when I get home."

The lady passing by looked at the girl's expensive clothes, hesitated and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Well, I don't know how much it costs to rent a boat. Is it 1000 taels?" The girl looked at the aunt innocently and expectantly.

The aunt looked at the girl again, "Turns out she is a fool!"

The aunt didn't care about the fool, she gave her a sideways glance and left.

Jin Yan snickered and said: "How can anyone borrow money on the street and ask for 1000 taels? This girl like me has no idea how much 1000 taels is."

Ordinary people can't save so much money in a lifetime.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the girl, didn't pay much attention, turned around and walked towards the alley. But unexpectedly, the girl saw her and ran over to stop her.

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Liu Yunxiang looked at the little girl in front of him, who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, speechlessly. He was looking at her with lust. If it were a man, she would have been called a gangster.

"Thank you." Liu Yunxiang responded lightly and walked around her to leave, but was stopped by her again.

"Sister, you look so kind, you must be the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, "Do you think I have 1000 taels?"

The girl was exposed. She stuck out her tongue first, and then nodded honestly, "Sister, she looks like she's very rich."

"Then why should I lend it to you?"

"I will definitely pay you back!"

"How can I trust you?"

"..."

The girl seemed to have made up her mind. She came up to Liu Yunxiang and whispered: "Tell me the truth, sister, my family is very rich."

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment, "So?"

"So I won't lie to you. If you borrow it from me, I will return it to you tomorrow." The girl patted her chest.

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "If you lose your money bag, you can report it to the official. As for borrowing money, you can't borrow it like this, and no one will lend it to you."

"Can't you report it to the official?"

"why?"

"I will expose my whereabouts."

"..." She also felt that this girl might have a mental problem, "Then what are you borrowing money for?"

The little girl's eyes lit up, "After the fireworks are set off at Liayan Lake today, I want to book a boat to watch them. How about this? I'll ask my sister to go watch them with me, as a way of thanking you for lending me the money."

Liu Yunxiang was speechless. Did she ever say anything about lending her money?
