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

That night, Xie Zian was sent back by Dongchang.

The old lady fainted when she saw her youngest son lying on the wooden board, unconscious, with injuries all over his body, and some parts of his body were bloody and bloody.

The west courtyard was in chaos, and Liu Yunxiang could hear the noise even in this courtyard.

It got cold early this year. The cold started just after the beginning of winter. Zhang Qi's charcoal shop was already open, but as expected, business was bleak, and the guys he sent to the north also came back, and truckloads of leather goods entered the city. Within two days, the leather goods shop also opened. stand up.

Liu Yunxiang didn't have the energy to do anything, so he just went over and took a look, leaving all the big and small matters to Zhang Qi.

There was frost last night. Jin Yan knew that Liu Yunxiang could not bear the cold, so he lit a charcoal fire. It was freezing outside, but it was warm inside, and Liu Yunxiang slept peacefully.

Early in the morning, Liu Yunxiang was awakened by the sound of crying. He thought something had happened and hurriedly called Jin Yan to come in, only to find out that it was Liniang who was crying outside.

"What happened to her?" Liu Yunxiang asked, patting his chest.

As soon as she finished asking, Liniang ran in with Kang Geer in her arms, and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Madam, I know you are kind-hearted, please save our mother and son." Liniang cried and begged.

Liu Yunxiang let Jin Yan help him up and leaned on the quilt behind him. He saw that one side of Liniang's face was blue, as if she had been hit by a fist. Kang Geer, who was in her arms, had a big swelling on his forehead, and the child was crying silently.

"Jinyan, take Brother Kang and go outside to eat something."

"Yes."

Jin Yan took Brother Kang from Liniang's arms and went out while coaxing him.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Liniang and took a deep breath, "Did he hit you?"

Liniang covered her face and started crying. She stopped after a while, "A few days ago, I said that I wanted to look back at Shicun and it would be great if I could buy that land back. I did have this intention, but I didn't expect it. He went gambling because of this, lost so much money, and was arrested in Dongchang. Now he blames me, saying that if I hadn't been too greedy, these things wouldn't have happened. I refuted him, and he beat me. I was holding the child in my arms at the time, and I was unprepared for the moment, and the child fell from his hands and fell to the ground. He thought our mother and I were annoying, and said he would beat us to death if we cried again."

On the outside, he is soft and weak, but at home, he is very rough.

Liu Yunxiang had already seen through Xie Zian, but he was still shocked by his shamelessness. He opened and shut his mouth to love Liniang, who was cute but could beat her without mercy. This kind of love was too terrible.

At this time Liu Yi came and shouted outside, saying that the third master asked Aunt Li to return to the side courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Liniang was so frightened that she trembled all over.

"No, no, he will kill us, mother and son!"

Liu Yunxiang couldn't bear to see Liniang like this, so he asked Liu Yi to go back and tell Xie Zian that she would leave Liniang to talk in this courtyard and go back later.

After Liu Yi left, Liniang couldn't hold back and started crying again.

"My husband is not like this. He treats me extremely well." Liniang said while wiping her tears. "After the house was taken away, we should not have come back. As soon as we returned to the Hou Mansion, he changed."

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly, "If you don't come back, you'll have to keep me a widow for the rest of my life, right?"

Liniang knew she had made a mistake and quickly shook her head, "No, I definitely have no intention of harming Madam."

"You wasted my life, why don't you harm me?"

"I didn't think that much..."

No, she had always known about her existence and that she was a widow in the Hou Mansion for decades in her previous life. How could she not have thought of her situation. Not only did she think of it, she was also very proud of it.

"That's all, go have breakfast outside."

Later, Xie Zian came over to coax Liniang and said many nice words. Liniang relented and hugged Brother Kang and followed him back to the side courtyard.

But since then, there have always been quarrels and cries from the West Branch Courtyard, each time becoming more intense.

On this day, Yulian came over and invited Liu Yunxiang to the east courtyard.

The old lady has been sick since that day when Xie Zian was sent back in a bloody state and fainted. This time she was not pretending. When Liu Yunxiang passed by, he saw the old lady looking sick. Within a few days, she had lost weight.

"These days, too many things have happened in the Hou Mansion. The second room is making trouble, the third room is crying, and there is no peace every day. I originally wanted to go to Hui'an Temple to worship Buddha and pray for a safe home, but my health is getting worse and I cannot make the trip. You The eldest sister-in-law is not in good health, and the second sister-in-law is crazy. You are the only one left in the family, so you can go."

"It's not convenient for me." Liu Yunxiang said.

"As an elder, I'm begging you."

It was rare to see the old lady put down her posture like this, so Liu Yunxiang did not refuse. She originally did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but after she was reborn, she also wanted to pay homage to the Buddha and ask him to bless her and give birth to her child safely.

The next day was fine, so Liu Yunxiang took Jinyan and Zijin out early.

As she passed the city gate, her carriage was stopped for inspection.

Jinyan and Zijin got out of the car, and Yan Mu got in after a while.

"Where are you going?" he asked in a bad tone.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Did you also check the female relatives of other families in this way?"

"I don't care about other people, I only care about you."

Liu Yunxiang didn't want to get entangled with him, so he said, "I'll go to Hui'an Temple to ask for a peace charm."

"Can you stop running around?"

"Can you leave me alone?"

Yan Mu's eyes darkened, he went up and hugged Liu Yunxiang into his arms, and kissed her hard despite her struggle.

"As long as I live, I will take care of you."

Liu Yunxiang angrily raised her hand and slapped him, and he kissed her again. She hit him again and he kissed her back, but she was weak and couldn't break free anyway.

"I...I just went to ask for a peace charm to protect me and my child from surviving. Why can't it work?" She was so angry that she couldn't do anything.

Yan Mu snorted, "Then come back early."

Liu Yunxiang didn't want to agree, but Yan Mu wouldn't let her go, "I understand."

"That's good."

After watching Liu Yunxiang's carriage leave, Yan Mu still went back to take a nap under the big locust tree.

At this time, the beggar came over and said, "Just when you fell asleep, a carriage passed by. It seemed to be coming from the palace."

Yan Mu opened his eyes, "In the palace?"

"I followed him out to take a look, and we were walking in the direction of Hui'an Temple."

Yan Mu pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up, "She is in danger!"
