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

Liniang looked frightened, pulling Xie Zian's sleeves with her hands, and hid behind him. Xie Zian looked at Liniang's fragile and pitiful appearance, and immediately became manly.

"Liu Yunxiang, don't go too far..."

"Third Master!" Liu Yunxiang interrupted him and smiled lightly, "You still have the imperial edict in your hand, but you must worship it carefully."

Xie Zian looked down at the imperial edict in his hand, and immediately felt that it weighed a thousand pounds, and the back of his neck was still a little cold. His manly aura was suddenly deflated.

Liu Yunxiang had already seen through this Xie Zian. All the soldiers he led died on the way to transport food, but he was the only one who was still alive. As for how he survived, he did not dare to mention it. He came back alive but did not return home. He said he didn't care about fame and wealth and only wanted to protect Liniang for the rest of his life. He was just afraid of being investigated by the court. He pretended to be deeply affectionate but was really cowardly and afraid of death!

"The Hou Mansion is such a sect, where rules are the most important. Liu Yi is disrespectful to his master, so he should be beaten," Xie Zian said.

"Husband." Liniang hugged Xie Zian's arm, "Liu Yi is a maid of the slave family. Even if she doesn't understand the rules, she should be disciplined by the slave family."

"Ahem!" Liu Yunxiang coughed twice.

Xie Zian immediately understood what she meant, frowned and said: "Liniang, only the main wife can be called husband, you have to call me mistress from now on. And the mistress is the master of the same house, no matter the concubines or the servants in her house Everyone can be disciplined, this is the principle, you have to learn more."

Now Liniang knew that Xie Zian really had no hope, so she pursed her lips tightly and didn't dare to show her head again.

Liu Yi panicked now. When the third lady was sent to the southwest corner of the courtyard, Jin Yan came and asked her if she wanted to go there with her. At that time, she was thinking that there would be no chance of success there, so she did not follow. Later, the fourth girl came over and she fawned over the fourth girl, but she still wasn't reused. Then the third master came back and let Liniang live in the main courtyard. This status is self-evident. Liniang was eager to win people's hearts, so she was the first to show her kindness, and she became her personal maid, but she didn't expect the third lady to come back again.

A woman who is pregnant with a bastard and does not follow the rules of women should be divorced by the third master.

Why, are you a little afraid of her?

Liu Yi was puzzled, but now she was in big trouble.

"Two days ago, I met you in the medicine hall. I thought you were my girl's old slave, so I didn't watch out for you." Jinyan walked around Liu Yi with her arms akimbo, and then pointed at her nose. , "Before, you did menial work in the outer courtyard and were often bullied by the women. The third lady saw you by chance and saw how pitiful you were, so she transferred you to the west courtyard. I thought you would miss the girl's kindness to some extent, but you retorted when you didn't want to. Bite.”

Liu Yi's face turned green, knowing that the third lady wanted to settle a score with her, she quickly knelt down and pretended to be innocent.

"It is a great joy for the third lady to be pregnant..."

Jin Yan slapped him, "Is it a coincidence that you appeared in the medicine hall or did you deliberately follow me? Who did you tell this to, and why did the second lady know about it?"

Liu Yi covered her face, glanced at Liniang secretly, and then said: "I went to get some medicine for Brother Kang. I happened to meet you. I heard the doctor mentioned it and found out that my wife was pregnant. Later, when I was chatting with other maids, , I accidentally let it slip, maybe someone from the second room overheard it."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes turned cold, "Jinyan, beat me until she tells the truth!"

"Yes!"

Holding back her anger, Jin Yan went up and slapped her more than ten times in a row.

The corner of Liu Yi's mouth was bleeding, and she couldn't help shouting: "Aunt Li, save this slave!"

Liniang was afraid that Liu Yizhen would take advantage of her, so she gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Liu Yunxiang, "Madam, my family has a low status, but I still have the courage to plead with you and spare this girl Liu Yi. Slaves are also human beings, and they are also raised by their mothers and fathers. She How heartbroken it would be for my parents to know."

Liu Yunxiang scoffed coldly. This Liniang really had some scheming intentions. Because of this battle, many servants had gathered at the entrance of the courtyard. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but be moved. Seeing that Liu Yunxiang also shared some of the same hatred.

Xie Zi'an helped Liniang up distressedly and comforted her softly: "You are simple-minded, gentle and kind, and you can't bear to see this."

"Husband...Master, please save Liu Yi! She is not very old and is still a child."

Xie Zian turned to look at Liu Yunxiang, and his tone became much colder: "Ms. Liu, only servants can respect you if your mistress is generous. You are also angry, don't go too far!"

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Liniang, and then said in a deep voice: "I think that the mistress has a certain amount of rewards and punishments, so that the people below can respect her!"

"Do you really want to beat someone to death?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm beaten to death, I just blame her for her evil intentions!"

Liu Yi couldn't hold on anymore and asked Liniang for help again and again.

Liniang was a little panicked, fearing that Liu Yi would confess to her, but at this moment, a maid came over holding Brother Kang. Brother Kang was crying quietly, thinking he was hungry. Her thoughts changed and she quickly took it and hugged it herself.

When the child was in her mother's arms, she stopped crying immediately. Liniang felt cruel and pinched the child's lower back hard.

"Wow wow wow!" Kang Geer screamed and cried.

Xie Zian felt heartbroken, "What's wrong with Brother Kang?"

Liniang hugged the child, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Xie Zian, and then kowtowed to Liu Yunxiang, "Brother Kang is still young and cannot see blood. Please, Madam and Master, gather some blessings for Brother Kang."

Xie Zian saw his son crying anxiously, pointed at Liu Yunxiang and shouted: "You are so powerful, let Liu Yi go quickly!"

Liu Yunxiang looked at Liniang with an evil look in her eyes. She actually used her own child to achieve her goal.

"When Aunt Li said this, I remembered that my legitimate son has not yet been born, and Kang Ge'er is the eldest son of the concubine. This will inevitably make my concubine have thoughts that she shouldn't have. She should be brought to my hospital to raise her."

"No, no, Third Master, please say something to the slave family, she wants to steal our brother Kang!" Liniang panicked.

Just as Xie Zian was about to open his mouth, Liu Yunxiang asked him, "Third Master, do other families also follow this rule?"

Xie Zian choked and was immediately speechless.

Liu Yi was about to open her mouth to defend Liniang and take the blame on herself, but Liniang got there first.

"Madam, the slave family is confused. Liu Yi said that you have a problem, so she secretly followed the maid in your room. After that, she told the slave family about your pregnancy. The slave family... When the slave family chatted with the second lady again, she didn't reveal much about it. .”

"Is it really unintentional?" Liu Yunxiang asked with narrowed eyes.

Liniang paused and said, "The slave family did it on purpose..."
