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

Life in the Hou Mansion was tight, and it had been a long time since there had been such a big meal.

Liu Yunxiang sat there without moving anything.

Xie's family didn't care about her and just ate by themselves.

Everyone went back to rest somewhere that night, and Liu Yunxiang got up a little late the next day. After she got up, she came to the open room and saw Zijin eating steamed buns.

"Girl, you must be hungry."

After Liu Yunxiang washed up, he sat across from Zijin. He was really hungry and ate two meat buns at once.

"What's going on outside?"

Zijin chuckled and said, "The disease is really serious. All of them were infected in just one night, and they were all burned up. The servants walked around in a circle and then locked the door of the house."

As soon as Zijin finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open.

"lady……"

"Third Aunt..."

"Yunxiang..."

Liu Yunxiang put the last bite of the bun into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it slowly, then washed his hands, put on his veil, and then went out. Pushing open the door, I saw several people lying in the yard.

There are two big bedrooms, three second bedrooms, one third bedroom, and an old woman.

Seven people were writhing and crawling toward her door like maggots.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xie Zian, who was crawling at the front, raised his head with difficulty. Seeing it was Liu Yunxiang, he hurriedly said: "Madam... I'm sick... help me... call the doctor..."

When Xie Zian looked up, he could see the large red rash on his face, which was like a red flower blooming like a cloud.

Hence the name ‘Red Brocade’.

The others looked up, their symptoms were the same as Xie Zian's, but the old lady and the eldest lady were obviously more serious. After all, one was old and the other was physically weak.

"Aunt... I feel so uncomfortable..." Xie Wenqing, the fourth girl, felt so uncomfortable that her eyes filled with tears.

"Get us a doctor quickly... What are you still waiting for?" The old lady got angry.

"Aunt... hurry up..." Xie Lincheng and Xie Lin Yu urged.

Liu Yunxiang just watched, feeling very good.

Seeing Liu Yunxiang like this, the eldest lady thought about it carefully and said, "Why... you are not sick?"

As soon as she said this, everyone slowly widened their eyes.

Liu Yunxiang tilted his head and smiled, "Why don't you guess why I'm so good?"

"You..." Xie Zian had obviously guessed it, and his face turned green, "How dare you harm us...I...I can't spare you..."

He struggled to step forward to reach Liu Yunxiang, but he couldn't even touch the hem of her skirt.

"Bitch...I'm going to kill you..."

The old lady pointed at Liu Yunxiang, "You...you really have no good intentions...I should have guessed it a long time ago..."

"But you are greedy!" Liu Yunxiang looked at the people crawling all over the floor, "You became greedy when you learned that Lingyun's boss was me. If not, you would not have ended up like this!"

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's stern expression, Xie Wenqing became frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Auntie... I didn't want to harm you..."

"You, when the old Marquis died and the Emperor held the Marquis accountable, you fell ill from fear and had a high fever. If I hadn't used your dowry to provide you with medical treatment, you would have died a long time ago. But you didn't show any kindness to me. Instead, you lied to me. I don’t hate you, but I don’t have the bodhisattva heart to save you, so you should pay me back for the life you owe me!"

"No...Auntie, save me..." Xie Wenqing shouted in horror.

Others were also frightened. They saw that Liu Yunxiang was so cruel that he really wanted to kill all of them.

"I am the dignified Marquis of Jingan... How dare you..." Xie Zian roared with all his strength.

Liu Yunxiang sneered: "Don't you know that the epidemic broke out in Shannian camp, and many people ran out and brought the disease with them. The emperor has been infected. Isn't it strange that your prince's residence is infected with the disease? No If we receive additional treatment, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive tonight."

"You are so cruel!" Xie Zian gritted his teeth.

"Cruel?" Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Yes, I should be so cruel, so that I wouldn't die of frustration in my last life."

As Liu Yunxiang spoke, he stepped on Xie Zian's back and pressed hard, squeezing him until he couldn't breathe.

"I'm very curious. Liniang clearly stabbed you back then, and everyone in the house thought you were dead, but someone took you away from the coffin and revived you. Who is this person?"

"Don't even think about...knowing..."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes, then stretched out his hand to Zijin, "Bring the dagger on your waist."

Zi Jin took it out and took it back when he sent it out. "Girl, I'm here to avoid dirtying your hands."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "If I want to avenge myself, of course I have to do it myself."

Zi Jin didn't understand, but he sent it up anyway.

Liu Yunxiang pulled out the dagger and waved it in front of Xie Zian's eyes.

"You do...ah..."

Before he could finish his words, the dagger penetrated directly into his palm.

"Say?" Liu Yunxiang's voice was still soft.

"I don't... ah..."

The dagger began to rotate, grazing the bones and severing the tendons. The pain made Xie Zian wince.

"Jin...little golden concubine..."

Liu Yunxiang suddenly pulled out the dagger, his eyes darkened, it was indeed her!

"So Yan'er is my son's business, and she told you about it?"

"Yes……"

"Even after I returned to Beijing, was she the one who asked you to pester me?"

"Yes……"

Liu Yunxiang snorted, which made sense. After she returned to Beijing, Xie Zian wanted to take revenge and vent his anger, but he was timid and fearful. He probably wouldn't risk his life to offend Yan Mu, but he still held on to her, which didn't make sense.

It turns out that Jin You is his backer!

"Zijin, go to his study and search it to see if you can find any letters between him and Jin You."

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang moved a chair and sat down on the steps. The epidemic was indeed coming fiercely. These people had been burned to the point of losing all strength and were just barely gasping for air.

She just watched them quietly, many scenes from the past replaying in her mind.

She had spent 40 years raising the Hou Mansion, but now she was going to completely destroy it.

At this time there was a knock on the door!

Liu Yunxiang was startled for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly. After all, the backyard was quite far away from the gate of the house, so it was impossible to hear it. But there was another series of knocks on the door.

Liu Yunxiang got up following the sound, walked out of the yard first, and walked westward when he found a small door opened in the west back wall. This door is opened in the west courtyard. It is really unreasonable to make it convenient for people to walk.

She walked over and saw someone standing outside through the crack in the door.

Jinyou!

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes. She was the owner of Lingyun Grain Shop. In addition to the clerks in her shop and the people around her, Yan Mu and the beggar also knew about it. Jin Youxu learned about this from the two of them, and then told Xie Zian that when she came this time, she should come and divide her shops with Xie Zian.

After all, it is a considerable fortune, and Jin You is also envious of it.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, then opened the door, pulled Jin You in who was standing outside, and locked the door.

Jin You hurriedly stood still, turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang, and was startled.

"you!"

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth, "Are you here to see Xie Zian?"

"I'm not……"

"Come here!"

Liu Yunxiang said as she walked towards her courtyard. After entering the courtyard gate, she still sat back on her chair.

When Jin You walked in, he was shocked when he saw the people lying in various directions. When he saw the red rash on their faces, he quickly covered his lips and nose with his hands.

"This...what's the matter?"

Xie Zian heard the sound, looked up in confusion, saw Jin You, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask for help: "Little Concubine Jin... help... save me..."

Seeing this, Jin You realized something was wrong and ran out quickly. But Zijin came at this time and blocked the door.

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth, "Since you bumped into me today, let's save your life by the way."
