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

Liu Yunxiang entered the city in the afternoon. The spring sunshine was warm. This place was different from Yangui City. It was more prosperous after all. There were many shops on both sides and pedestrians in twos and threes.

She led the horse and looked around. The fishery was developed in Yuezhou, but there were not many people growing grain. Zhang Qi saw the business opportunity and opened a grain shop here.

"Whose child is there? Why don't you see his parents?"

"Oh, this kid is so good-looking, just like the lotus boy."

"He seems to be looking for his mother."

Two aunties said as they passed by.

Liu Yunxiang followed their gazes and saw a little guy wearing a light-colored thin coat and a cashmere hat not far ahead walking this way with his short legs dangling.

The little guy is about a week old and is still not very steady when walking. He holds a candy man in his hand, licks it and looks around.

"mother!"

The little baby's voice was very tender and light. Liu Yunxiang got closer and found that the little guy was really good-looking. He had single eyelids but was very energetic. The ends of his eyes were slightly raised, his nose was pretty, his mouth was not big, and his lips were pink and tender.

She is really well-raised at home, and she is all plump, especially the fat baby on her face, which is so cute.

The little guy saw her at this moment, his eyes widened, and then he grinned and drooled.

"mother!"

He seemed to have found the right target and wanted to pounce on him, but then a man in plain clothes came out of the study next to him and picked him up.

Liu Yunxiang didn't see the man's face, only his back holding the little guy as he walked forward. He was very thin, and his robe seemed too loose.

The man kissed the little guy's face, and the little guy lay on the man's shoulder and kept laughing.

Liu Yunxiang looked away, then got on his horse, intending to ride forward for a while. When passing the father and son, I vaguely heard the man's voice.

"Confucius said: A gentleman has nine thoughts: to see clearly, to listen to be intelligent, to look warm, to look respectful, to speak loyally, to act respectfully, to think doubtful, to be angry, to think difficult, and to see what is true."

She was laughing here. The child is so young, so he must be a little too early to behave like a gentleman.

After walking for a while, he finally saw the signboard of Lingyun Grain Store. Liu Yunxiang dismounted his horse and hurried into the store.

After asking her questions, the shopkeeper took her into the backyard. Xingyi was catching ants in the yard. When he saw Liu Yunxiang, he got up and ran over.

"mother!"

Yuezhou Post House, I washed my clothes and put them up one by one. As soon as he freed his hand, he saw the little guy running over.

"Yan'er, eat."

Jin Yan stepped forward and picked up the little guy, "Brother Yan, Jin Yan won't eat, but you can't eat too much, it will damage your teeth."

The little guy quickly opened his mouth to show Jin Yan, "It's not broken."

Jin Yan burst out laughing. When he saw Lu Changan coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Sir, Mrs. He has just come here to ask you for Mr. He's body. Fortunately, you are not here. Judging from her aggressiveness, she probably wants to scratch you."

Lu Changan smiled, "I can't fight but I can hide."

"You are a gentleman and don't do anything to women."

"I'm really afraid of her."

Lu Changan rubbed his nose. The last time he went to search the He family, Mrs. He refused to let the officials touch her husband's belongings. When he went up to persuade her, she pushed her against him, which scared him so much that he almost hid in a tree.

He Ziyue of Yuezhou Prefecture was killed at home, and the court attached great importance to it. As the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, he was specially ordered to supervise the case.

But it has been five days since I came here, and I still have no clue. The day is getting warmer and warmer, and He Ziyue's body is beginning to rot. It is really time to return it to the He family.

At this time, his subordinate Chen Heng came over, and Lu Changan asked him to inform the He family that they could go to the government office to collect the body. But as soon as Chen Heng left, he felt something was wrong.

"No, I have to get the body examined before the He family does."

The more He Zi was killed with random knives, it was logical that there would be nothing good to do, but he always felt that something was not right.

Liu Yunxiang and Qu Moran met here. It turned out that Zijin was injured at that time, and Qu Moran could only take her away first. Although there were some twists and turns, fortunately everyone is fine.

Liu Yunxiang held the intention in one hand and pointed on the map with the other, "The water route is faster and safer than the land route. We will go south along the Grand Canal from Yuezhou, get off the boat in Xiangzhou, and walk a short distance to the southwest. Yaowang Valley. Pick up Jinyan and Xingzhi at Yaowang Valley and rest for a while before we decide whether to continue south or west."

Qu Moran nodded, "I'll follow you anyway. I'll go wherever you go."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "But if we leave Da Rong, we may never come back."

Qu Moran caressed his belly, "Besides Master and Old Man Qu, I don't have anything else to worry about."

Seeing his son's eagerness, Liu Yunxiang urged him to set off the next day.

The shopkeeper helped them contact the merchant ship and took them all the way to the ferry. While waiting for the merchant ship to load, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to buy some snacks on the street so that Xingyi could eat them on the way.

Although it's spring, it's warm and cold at first, and it's quite cold today.

Liu Yunxiang made a small cloak for Xingyi and wrapped it tightly around her, leaving only her small face exposed.

The little girl was curious about everything and looked around with her big eyes.

"It's a big boat, it's beautiful." The little girl pointed to a place for Liu Yunxiang to see.

Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw a painted boat, hung with red silk and lanterns. It was really beautiful. She looked away and was thinking about going over and chatting with the owner of the caravan. After all, if she wanted to ride on his ship, she had to have a good relationship.

At this time, Qu Moran next to him exclaimed: "Someone fell into the lake!"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly looked over and saw a man splashing in the water. He obviously couldn't swim. Everyone on the boat looked panicked, but no one jumped in to save him.

Maybe the caravan guys here didn't see it, maybe no one paid attention to it. In short, everyone was busy moving goods, and no one went to rescue people.

Seeing this, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly conveyed his thoughts to Qu Moran, and then hurried over.

When she ran over there, she took off her outer clothes, ran a few steps and jumped into the water. She knew how to swim, but the water was too cold. After a while, she quickly swam towards the man.

From her angle, she could only see white clothes floating on the water, with a head popping up occasionally, but it was floating and sinking, as if she had lost the strength to struggle.

When Liu Yunxiang passed by, she couldn't even see the white clothes. She could only take a deep breath and dip under the water to look for him.

Seeing that the white clothes were sinking, she swam over with all her strength, then dragged the person behind her, got out of the water first, and then swam to the shore.

Qu Moran found a bamboo pole, and when she swam closer, he grabbed it and soon reached the shore. It only took a lot of effort to drag the man up.

Liu Yunxiang didn't care to take a breath and hurriedly turned the man over. He wanted to see if he could be saved, but was surprised when he saw the man's face.

"Lu Changan!"

Qu Moran was also surprised when he saw that it was Lu Changan, but when he saw that he was motionless, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "He seems to have no breath. Could it be that..."
