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

From the time she was poisoned, Liu Yunxiang knew that someone wanted to kill her, but such a big battle still surprised her.

"For...why kill me?"

Yan Mu glanced at Liu Yunxiang's belly, "Because of this child."

"child?"

"You endured all the hardships, sacrificed your life, and gave birth to the child, but what can you do? If the person wants him dead, he will definitely do his best to kill him."

"Who is that person?"

Yan Mu leaned back on the Arhat's bed and sneered: "So you'd better give up on this child and still save your own life."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Absolutely impossible."

"So you're stupid."

Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth angrily and wanted to slap Yan Mu hard. Since he said this, he obviously found out who wanted to kill the child and knew the person's purpose, but he seemed to be an outsider and was completely indifferent.

"Then if you are willing to protect us two, can that person still hurt us?"

Yan Mu sneered, "Why should I protect you?"

"You!" Liu Yunxiang clenched his fists, but seeing Yan Mu acting like it had nothing to do with him, he could only suppress his anger, pretend to be weak and lean into Yan Mu's arms, then took his hand and put it on his belly "But besides you, who else will protect us?"

"Humph."

Liu Yunxiang buried himself in Yan Mu's arms and began to cry softly. He also punched Yan Mu's chest while crying.

"The reason why I desperately want to give birth to this child is not because he is your and my child."

"It's not like you don't know my feelings."

"I shouldn't have fallen in love with you. You were right. I was too stupid."

Yan Mu saw that his newly bandaged wound was bleeding from Liu Yunxiang's hammer, so he had no choice but to grab her hand and pull her up. I thought she was pretending, but I saw that her face was full of tears, and she looked at him pitifully and weakly.

"You say you love me?"

Liu Yunxiang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Yan Mu pulled her over, raised her chin with his hand, and narrowed his eyes, "Why don't I believe it?"

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, then grabbed Yan Mu's shoulders and carried him up.

After lingering for a long time, Yan Mu held Liu Yunxiang's face, his eyes full of love and pity.

“You know when you’re most like her?”

Liu Yunxiang's heart suddenly froze. Even though he was an excellent actor, he didn't know whether to express sadness or shame at this moment.

Yan Mu wiped the tears from the corners of Liu Yunxiang's eyes with his thumb, and smiled evilly: "When I cry."

"I can cry to you often in the future," she said.

"So nice?"

"I want to live with my children."

Yan Mu thought for a moment, "Then remember, you are mine."

"..."

"No?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Then Master Yan, please protect me. If I die, I will only be your ghost."

That night, Liu Yunxiang followed Yan Mu back to Orchid Garden.

After returning, she fell asleep not long after, and Yan Mu went out again with injuries.

Liu Yunxiang woke up in the morning and saw Jin Yan standing guard next to him.

"Madam, you are awake, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Why are you here?"

"My slave guessed that you would be brought here, so I kept waiting at the door. When Master Yan went out, he saw your slave and asked your slave to come in and serve you."

Liu Yunxiang sat up and saw Mu Jin coming in. Then he remembered that this was Mo Yuxuan, the courtyard where Yan Mu lived.

"Madam, the master asked you to stay in Orchid Garden today and wait for his return."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Is something wrong?"

Hibiscus shook her head, "Master didn't explain."

She was frightened last night and didn't sleep well. Liu Yunxiang wanted to go back to sleep, but Mu Jin asked the kitchen to make bird's nest porridge and let her use some first before resting.

Liu Yunxiang was really hungry, so she asked Jinyan to help her wash up.

In the past few days, it was rare to have a hearty meal in the Hou Mansion. Liu Yunxiang had a big appetite and ate two bowls in a row and a plate of shrimp dumplings. I was about to go for a walk in the yard to eat when I heard movement at the door.

Liu Yunxiang looked out through the window and saw Yuan Qingyue standing outside, tilting her head and looking this way. Mu Jin didn't know what she said, but Yuan Qingyue left in tears.

Jin Yan came back from outside and whispered to Liu Yunxiang: "I don't know where I came from. Master Yan hid a woman in the main courtyard, that is, you. Why don't you come to find out the truth? Mu Jin said that Master Yan is not here, so she will Sent away."

Liu Yunxiang was speechless, "She is jealous of me when she is arguing with me. Has she forgotten that she is just Yan Mu's pet? Of course, so am I. There is no need to compete for favor between two pets, right?"

"Madam, why do you say that about yourself?" Jin Yan didn't like hearing this.

"I am self-aware."

Seeing Yuan Qing leaving, Liu Yunxiang came to the courtyard for a walk.

After the symptoms of nausea and vomiting subsided, she suddenly had a huge appetite. She was always hungry, wanted to eat even after she was full, and would hold her mouth open if she couldn't control it for a little bit.

So every time she finished her meal, she had to take a walk to eat.

"Madam, please ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of hawthorn soup."

When Mu Jin said this, Liu Yunxiang really wanted to eat something sour.

"it is good."

Seeing that Mu Jin was about to leave, Liu Yunxiang called her and asked, "What did you say that made Miss Yuan cry after hearing it?"

Hibiscus bowed her waist slightly and said respectfully: "This slave is just conveying the master's words. No one else is allowed to enter the main courtyard."

Liu Yunxiang snorted, wondering what Yuan Qingyue would think. Naturally, he thought that Yan Mu had let other women live in the house, and she was just an idler, so he cried in anger.

After being active in the yard for a while, Liu Yunxiang was about to go back to the house. When he heard the mess outside, he asked Jin Yan to go see what was going on.

Soon Jinyan came back and replied with a sullen expression: "That Miss Yuan hit the wall."
