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

Liniang went up to hug Xie Zian and saw blood seeping out of his buttocks. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she cried even harder.

It took Xie Zian a while to recover, and half of his life was gone.

When he saw Liu Yunxiang coming over, he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Is this how you begged Yan Mu to let him beat me with twenty military sticks?"

Liu Yunxiang was speechless. He actually had the nerve to say that. He was exempted from the death penalty and only received [-] military sticks. That was not enough for him!

"Don't be dissatisfied!"

"He went too far. He stole my wife, insulted my reputation, and even wanted to kill me!"

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly, "If he bullies you like this, you should fight him tooth and nail!"

"You dare to ridicule me?"

"You know how incompetent you are, right?"

Xie Zian was full of anger, hurt and aggrieved. Liu Yunxiang's words poked his heart again and asked Liniang to help him up. As soon as he stood up, he pushed Liu Yunxiang.

"Bitch!"

Liu Yunxiang was unprepared and her body was already weak. She leaned back after being pushed by him. At this time, Yan Mu stepped forward and hugged her.

She grabbed his arm to steady herself, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Mu's face turned pale, and he went up and grabbed Xie Zian's neck.

Xie Zian's eyes were full of panic, "You...ahem...what are you going to do...so many people are watching...ahem..."

"So you think I don't dare to kill you?"

"No, no...don't kill me...ahem...I shouldn't have pushed her...I won't dare to do it again..."

"late!"

Yan Mu exerted force on his hands. Xie Zian's eyes widened and he began to have trouble breathing.

Liniang was beside her, frightened and trembling.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed Yan Mu's arm, "Don't kill him!"

"Are you still protecting him?"

"I just want to protect him!"

Yan Mu glared at Liu Yunxiang hatefully, then shook off Xie Zian, turned around, mounted his horse and left.

Liu Yunxiang saw Xie Zian softening to the ground. She didn't know whether it was because of the twenty army sticks, but she was still frightened. She asked Jin Yan to help Liniang get the person into the carriage.

Jin Yan came over and whispered: "I think Master Yan did the right thing this time."

"What's wrong?"

"He is so greedy for life and afraid of death, and he also beats women. Even my little maid looks down on him."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "It is indeed looked down upon."

But he still needs to be saved, there is still use in keeping him.

The official road to Beijing was finally cleared, and food from various states was gradually shipped in. The famine in Shengjing was quickly alleviated.

These days, Liu Yunxiang has been raising her body in the west courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, she is already four months old. As the months went by, and the white wood poison depleted her body and her blood replenished, her face always looked pale and haggard, and she became thinner and weaker.

Seeing Liu Yunxiang like this, Jin Yan felt worried every day.

"Girl, please take a few more sips."

Jinyan looked at the half bowl of chicken soup left in the bowl and persuaded her earnestly.

Liu Yunxiang laughed, "This is the third bowl."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang burping and looking like he would vomit after another sip, Jin Yan could only catch the bowl helplessly.

"But after eating so much, I can't see any growth. By the way, there is still bird's nest porridge stewed in the kitchen..."

"Good girl, let my mouth rest for a while."

Jin Yan felt so sorry for Liu Yunxiang, "Then I will help you get up and walk around."

Liu Yunxiang nodded. Recently, his waist began to ache, and sometimes he couldn't get up alone. Sitting up first, Jinyan rubbed her waist, and then helped her stand up.

My head was dizzy, my legs were weak, and my whole body felt light and airy.

When she was alone at night, she always thought, if she could really survive for another three or four months and give birth to this child, why did she feel like one foot had already entered the gate of hell?

Every time at this time, she felt very scared and could not sleep all night.

Autumn is coming soon, but the heat is still there.

Jinyan helped Liu Yunxiang walk under the corridor. After walking for a while, her body moved freely, and she no longer wanted to be supported by Jinyan.

"Doctor Qu has been studying medical books all day long for you, and he just changed his prescription."

"It definitely feels better."

"She also wrote a letter to her master, asking the old man to help her think of a solution."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "She has done her best for my affairs."

But she knew it, and Qu Moran also knew that it was a miracle to save the child, and it was an impossible miracle to save her.

"Is there anything new happening these days?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"The second master has been clamoring to become a monk these days, and the second wife has been crying and making a fuss."

"Oh, the Second Master's temper is something that Buddha would not dare to accept."

"The third young master hasn't married yet, the fourth girl hasn't said goodbye yet, and no matchmaker has come to the house. The second master's troubles will undoubtedly make the marriage of his children worse."

"After this famine, coupled with the prince's involvement in the case, I heard that the court is half empty, so I will add Enke this year. This is a good thing for the second prince. I am preparing now." Jinyan said.

"Is the eldest lady's illness more than half better?"

"Yes, I have been working around the second young master all day."

Liu Yunxiang sneered, everyone in the Hou family was a good actor.

"The third master received twenty military sticks and has been kept in a side yard these days. Only Liu Yilai came to ask for monthly payment and I scolded him away." Jinyan said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, tired from walking, and sat down on the porch.

"What's going on outside?"

Jin Yan was depressed for a moment and then said: "It's just a matter, it's not a big deal."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Jin Yan, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Jinyan sat down next to Liu Yunxiang and said flatly: "Wenchang Bo's house has been rehabilitated."

Liu Yunxiang was startled, then nodded again, this happened in his previous life as well.

Wenchangbo's Mansion is also Yuan Qingyue's family. The house was ransacked because of his involvement with the deposed prince. Wenchangbo and his wife were killed. The rest of the family members and slaves were either exiled to Shannian camp or sold into the black market, and Yuan Qingyue followed. Yan Mu didn't suffer much.

She remembered that several aristocratic families had written to Yan Mu and listed eighteen crimes, each of which was a capital offense. Yan Mu was scolded in court, stripped of his rank as minister of Dali Temple, and fined three years' salary. However, he commanded the camp in the suburbs of Beijing and became the commander of Feilong.

His rank did not drop, but rose two levels.

Wenchangbo's house was rehabilitated and his title was restored, but Yuan Qingyue was still a noble daughter of the aristocratic family, but she had already followed Yan Mu. Although her reputation was ruined, she had to give an explanation to Wenchangbo and his wife who died in vain.

The queen decided on this matter and betrothed her to Yan Mu as a concubine.

"The queen has given that man a marriage to Yuan Qingyue, and the wedding date will be the day after tomorrow." Jin Yan said angrily.
