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

That night, Liu Yunxiang stayed at Qu Moran's place.

Near noon the next day, Liu Yunxiang felt better, and then he got on the carriage and returned home.

As soon as the car heard the news, Liniang helped the old lady and ran out in front of the house. One's eyes were swollen from crying, and the other was so panicked that he couldn't even hold a stick.

"Lao Sanjia, you are back!"

The old lady jumped in front of Liu Yunxiang, but Jin Yan quickly held on, otherwise she would have bumped into Liu Yunxiang. Jin Yan stopped the old lady, but did not stop Liniang. She knelt down in front of Liu Yunxiang.

"Madam, you must save the Third Master!"

Liu Yunxiang was a little confused, "Didn't he dig a road?"

"That traitor Yan Mu, he wants to kill the third child!" the old lady said anxiously.

Liu Yunxiang was even more confused, "Why is this?"

"It turns out..." The old lady opened her mouth and saw people coming and going in front of the mansion, so she hurriedly whispered: "Let's talk inside."

When they came to the front yard, Jin Yan first moved out a chair. The old lady thought it was for her, so she went over with a cane, but she saw Jin Yan helping Liu Yunxiang sit down.

She immediately darkened her face, but asked Liu Yunxiang to avoid getting angry, so she shouted at Liniang: "You don't understand any rules, why don't you go and bring a stool?"

Liniang didn't dare to say anything and quickly wiped away her tears.

The chair was moved and the old lady sat down with a sullen face.

"When something happens to your man, you are living happily outside, coming from a womanly family..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, she saw Liu Yunxiang yawning.

"Girl, it's better to go back to the house and rest first. You didn't sleep well last night." Jin Yan said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "I am indeed sleepy."

The old lady was anxious, fearing that Liu Yunxiang would really ignore it, so she hurriedly said: "Last night, a group of thieves assassinated the officials who were digging the road in the suburbs of the city. Many people died. Although the third child was not good at martial arts, he still resisted with all his strength. But after spending the night, That traitor Yan Mu tied him up, saying that he escaped from the battle and would be dealt with according to military law. The servants went back to the house to report, but you were not there, so what should I do as an old woman?"

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and ran away. With so many people watching, Yan Mu would not accuse him unjustly no matter what.

"Mother, how can I, a woman, save him?"

"What are you talking about? He is your husband. For God's sake, you should save him even if you risk your life."

"Then why don't you prepare a piece of white silk? It would be easier for me to just hang myself."

"You!" The old lady choked at Liu Yunxiang's words, and it took her a while to recover. "Whether it's arrest or release, light punishment or heavy punishment, it's just a matter of Yan Mu's words, you... go and beg him. , he will promise you."

"You will later accuse me of being shameless and seducing men?"

"That makes sense..."

"Exactly."

The old lady's face had already dropped. Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was still holding on, she turned around and winked at Liniang.

Liniang immediately knelt down in front of Liu Yunxiang, "Madam, please save the third master, I kowtow to you!"

Her forehead hit the ground, and there was an unmistakable clang, and blood soon began to pour from her forehead.

"That's all, I'll go take a look."

Arriving at the outskirts of the city, Yan Mu was leading a hundred and ten people to dig the road in full swing, and it was about to be dug through. But Xie Zian was tied to a tree trunk nearby, looking listless.

Seeing her coming, he turned away in a sullen voice.

"Husband!" Liniang ran over crying when she saw blood on Xie Zian's body, "Where is it hurt? Is it serious? Does it hurt?"

Xie Zian frowned, "Okay, why cry? Let others laugh."

"I'm not worried about you!"

"I'm not injured, the blood is someone else's."

Liu Yunxiang let Jin Yan support her and walked to Yan Mu, bent down and saluted, "Master Yan, I am here to ask you on behalf of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, what did Xie Zian do to deserve such humiliation?"

The people who dug the road were all officials from the imperial court, children from various aristocratic families, and even friends who had been friends with him. Xie Zian was tied to a tree and his face was disgraced. He had to decide how to pursue an official career, make friends, and conduct himself in the future.

This is nothing if not an insult.

Of course, Liu Yunxiang did not sympathize with Xie Zian, but just told the facts.

Yan Mu held the shovel in his hand. He must have been digging for a long time. His face was sweaty, and the sweat flowed down his cheeks to his Adam's apple. But paired with his beautiful face, it was not dirty, but like a hibiscus out of water. It was not evil but fragrant. Yiqing.

But he glanced at her sideways, his lips raised, and he was full of scorn.

"There are no other men in your family? Do you want to show off as a woman?"

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. Where did he get the evil fire? She was clearly the one who should be angry.

"Master Yan, why do you bother a woman?"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and whispered: "You didn't bleed enough, right? You still have the strength to plead for him!"

Liu Yunxiang's face showed a tired look, "I really don't have much energy."

"Stop acting in front of me."

"real."

Yan Mu took a deep breath, "Do you have to plead for him?"

"I just came to ask about the situation."

Yan Mu glanced at Xie Zian, his eyes full of contempt, "Last night, a group of Beijin Xizuo came to sneak attack. Everyone resisted with all their strength, and there were many casualties, but do you know what he did?"

"what?"

"He was hiding among the dead and pretending to be dead. The blood on his body was not his own, not the enemy's, but that of his brothers who died in the battle." Yan Mu said, wishing he could go up and beat Xie Zian, "If this were in the military camp, According to military law, he will be killed with a stick!"

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a long time and said: "But this is not a military camp after all, and he is not a military officer."

"Are you still begging for mercy for him?"

"I won't plead for him. He should be killed. I only want to say one thing. During the Northern Expedition, he was responsible for transporting grain and grass. He was ambushed by Beijin on the way and the entire army was wiped out. Where did that batch of grain and grass go? Was it burned on the spot? Transported back to Beijin. ? Or maybe he’s missing?”

Yan Mu's eyes trembled, "How did you know I was checking that batch of grain and grass?"

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, "I've been with you for so long, and I've never heard a word or two from you."

"What else do you know?"

"I don't know."

It would be unjust if he wanted to silence her. Since she was reborn, she naturally knew some things, and she really didn't just overhear them.

Yan Mu glanced deeply at Liu Yunxiang, and then said loudly: "Xie Zian is timid to the enemy, and as a warning to others, I have twenty military staffs."

Because of this sound, everyone looked towards Xie Zian.

Two soldiers stepped forward to untie him from the tree trunk, then pushed him to the ground and began to execute the military stick.

The marching method is not a family method. The military stick is thick and strong. When the stick goes down, there is a bang. Xie Zian was unprepared and screamed out in pain. But before the sound was heard, the blows were struck one after another.

"Husband!" Liniang stood aside in panic and fear. By the time she remembered to beg Liu Yunxiang, the twenty army sticks had already been beaten.

Xie Zian was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe and his whole body was twitching.
