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

As the night darkened, Liu Yunxiang buried his head in Yan Mu's arms and put his hand on his chest.

Slowly, she could no longer feel his heartbeat.

Jin Yan anxiously stood guard at the door, taking a look outside in the rain from time to time.

I waited like this until late at night, and finally there was movement outside.

In the pouring rain, several people came on horseback. The one at the front was wearing a crimson flying fish suit.

When he reached the door, Shangguan Xu flew down and strode inside.

After Shangguan Xu came in, Liu Yunxiang cheered up and slowly backed away to the door.

Yan Mu said that it cannot be controlled by anyone.

She continued to retreat, almost drowning in the heavy rain...

"He's still alive!" Shangguan Xu shouted, then stretched out his hand to the person behind him, "Hurry and get it!"

Liu Yunxiang's body went limp, but thanks to Jinyan's support, he didn't fall to the ground. She raised her eyes and looked around. The night was so dark that she couldn't see the way forward and there was no way out.

If she was the only one left, could she really make it through this dark night?

She took a deep breath and walked towards the house.

Shangguan Xu fed Yan Mu an antidote, then looked back at Liu Yunxiang, his brows furrowed a little.

"He wants to trade his life for the lives of you two."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes: "I don't know anything."

"You need to know!"

"what do you know?"

"If he dies, you two will never survive!"

After saying that, Shangguan Xu left quickly.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly came to Yan Mu and felt his pulse with his hand. Although it was weak, it was still there.

She took a breath and finally let it go.

At dawn, people from Dongchang took Yan Mu away. Liu Yunxiang and Jinyan returned home. In the next few days, she asked Zijin to inquire, but there was no news about Yan Mu.

The old lady was instructed by the queen to trick her into going to Hui'an Temple. Liu Yunxiang questioned her, but she did not deny it.

"What can I do about the Queen's secret order? Do I dare to disobey it?" The old lady was still ill and coughed from time to time while speaking. "Tell me, what on earth did you do to dare to offend this person!"

Liu Yunxiang saw that her expression was extremely bad, and she didn't need to settle accounts with her. She seemed to have a short life.

At this time, Yulian started shouting outside.

"Second Madam, the old lady is not feeling well, no one is allowed to disturb her! Oh, Second Madam, you can't go in!"

Immediately afterwards, the door curtain opened and the second lady Xue came in.

It has been frosty at night. Although it has not yet entered winter, it is cold early today. Everyone has put on thin coats, but Mr. Xue is still wearing thin clothes.

I haven't seen him for a few days. Mr. Xue has lost a lot of weight, his complexion is yellow, and his hair is messy now, as if he had been in a fight with someone.

She pointed at the old lady angrily: "You gave birth to a good son, but he got together with the rough woman in the outer courtyard!"

"Unbridled, who do you mean? Are there any rules?" the old lady shouted angrily.

"I can't even survive, so why do I need any more rules!"

"You've been going crazy all day, stop talking nonsense!"

"You don't believe it?" Mr. Xue's eyes widened, looking a little crazy, "Then you come with me and have a look. I locked them in the room and they haven't even put on their clothes yet!"

The old lady still didn't believe it, until a nun beside the second lady came after her and confirmed what the second lady said.

The old lady slapped the bed board sadly, "This bastard is going to make me mad to death!"

Liu Yunxiang was quite surprised, but it was none of her business. She quietly retreated out while the room was in chaos.

When she was leaving the hospital, she heard Mrs. Xue cry out sadly: "This is retribution!"

"Isn't this just retribution? You deserve it!" Jinyan cursed in a low voice.

Liu Yunxiang patted her hand and said, "You will reap what you sow. The good show is yet to come."

After dinner, Mrs. Xue suddenly came.

Jin Yan saw that she didn't look normal and stopped Liu Yunxiang from going out to see her.

"It's okay, I want to hear what she has to say to me."

When they came to the door, Ms. Xue was standing in the yard looking up at the night sky. Liu Yunxiang walked over and looked up. It was rare to see a bright moon today.

"Liu Yunxiang, I apologize for what I did to you. I'm sorry."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and said, "There is some damage that cannot be made up for by an apology."

"I don't ask for your forgiveness."

"I won't forgive you either."

Mr. Xue looked at the moon in silence, and after a long time asked, "Where do you think I started making mistakes?"

"You have to ask yourself."

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, probably since the time I married him."

Liu Yunxiang thought of her last life, when the second master hanged himself shortly after returning home. She vented her pain on her body, but because of too much sadness, her health gradually deteriorated and she did not live long.

At that time, until the moment she closed her eyes, she didn't feel that she was wrong.

"Actually, that beggar didn't touch you that night."

Mr. Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I have doubted it, but I always thought it was impossible."

"Go and tell the second master clearly. Can you reconcile as before?"

"I can't."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the bright moon and said after a long time: "You were wrong because you should not have wanted to harm me."

Because her retribution was given by her.
