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

The old lady had just woken up from her nap, and was supported by Yu Lian to sit on the Grand Master's chair. She raised her eyelids and glanced at Liu Yunxiang, her face darkened.

"After all, she comes from a small family and has been married into a marquis for many years, but there are still no rules."

Liu Yunxiang was not in the mood to talk nonsense with her and asked directly: "Mother sold the silk and satin shop, Yanzhi Zhai and a hundred acres of farmland on the outskirts of the city?"

The old lady picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "That's what happened."

"Those are my dowry. I took them out to support the Marquis's house, but you didn't even tell me that you wanted to sell them!"

"Your dowry was brought into the Hou's Mansion. Once it was entered into the public account, it naturally belongs to the Hou's Mansion. As the head of the family, why should I tell you about selling this thing? You are making such a fuss and accusing my mother-in-law. Mother, are you educated?"

"I'm not well-educated, but I have a face!"

"presumptuous!"

"Whoever is so shameless will embezzle his daughter-in-law's dowry, let's go out and talk about it and see where the Marquis's face goes!"

"you dare!"

Liu Yunxiang stood up and said, "My husband is dead and I no longer have this support in my hand. What can I not dare to do!"

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "The purpose of selling these shops is to raise money to establish connections so that your second brother can go home as soon as possible."

"This case is almost over, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Then Yan Mu likes the new and hates the old. How could he dislike your second sister-in-law? Your second brother is still in prison. How can he lose his wife and lose his troops?"

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly. After all, it was for his own son.

"When your second brother comes back to revive the family business, I will subsidize you then."

Liu Yunxiang's thoughts changed and he said: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. I don't have much ability anymore, so I will hand over the stewardship, and my mother will ask someone else to help me!"

As she spoke, she put a bunch of waist cards on the table.

The old lady waved her hand irritably, "I made you the head of the house to give you face. Since you don't know what's good and what's good, just give it back."

Taking it out from the east courtyard, Jinyan sighed repeatedly.

"Madam, let's just forget it?"

"Otherwise, what if she eats it and spits it out?"

"My slave, I feel sorry for you."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes darkened, "Then let's go get it back?"

"Can I get it back?"

"Some extraordinary measures are needed."

At night, Liu Yunxiang took Jin Yan out of the back door.

On a spring night, the long street is very lively, with bright lights as far as the eye can see.

Liu Yunxiang has not visited the night market for a long time. His father is the Minister of Rites, and he abides by etiquette and strict discipline on his children.

She remembered that she secretly took her brother out for a stroll when she was 14 years old. She went crazy that time and when she returned home, it was already very late and she was caught by her father.

So she was grounded for three months, and her brother got a good beating. It was only after my mother cried and begged all night that she was forgiven.

Now that I think about it, it was a long time ago.

Liu Yunxiang looked at jewelry and gadgets for a while, and quickly bought a lot. Seeing that she was rarely happy, Jinyan didn't stop her and just paid for the things.

At this time, two women were walking around and talking.

"Tomorrow the government will open a granary to sell grain. The market price is [-] yuan per stone, but the granary only sells for [-] yuan. It's a lot cheaper!"

"The heavy rain flooded the granary the year before last. I don't know if the grain inside was moldy."

"No, although it is cheap, if you buy a moldy one, you will only suffer a loss."

"Anyway, my family told me not to buy it."

After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly. It seemed that ordinary people were not keen on buying grain from the granary.

Every year, the Ministry of Household Affairs sells the grain stored in the granary for four or five years to make room for the new grain of the year. However, not many people buy grain every year, and they dispose of the grain they cannot get rid of.

This random handling is actually a big flaw.

Since the prince took charge of the household department, the granaries in Shengjing have been slowly emptied. He used food to collude with Beijin in order to rebel. Although he has been deposed, his remnants are still functioning.

In the last life, Beijin attacked Zhenbeiguan and when preparing grain, he found that Shengjing's granary was empty.

Then came the famine. At that time, not to mention the moldy food, the bark of the trees was stripped off.

Liu Yunxiang saw the fried sesame candies, which smelled particularly fragrant, so he asked the stall owner to weigh a few pieces.

Jinyan followed to pay, and when he turned around, he saw Zijinchu arriving in front of him.

"Where did you come from?"

The little girl was tall and thin. She didn't say anything and only gave Liu Yunxiang a small porcelain vase.

Liu Yunxiang took it, carefully put it into his sleeve pocket, and then gave the little girl a piece of sesame candy to eat.

The little girl took a bite and probably thought it was delicious, so she reached out for more.

Liu Yunxiang took out a piece and ate it himself, and gave the rest to her.

Jin Yan made another mistake, and Zi Jin disappeared. He couldn't help but wiped his hands with cold sweat, "Madam, does she know any magic?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "This is called a master."

Someone was fighting on the other side of Baiyu Bridge, and the people scattered.

Jin Yan hurriedly tried to pull Liu Yunxiang back, but she went forward against the crowd.

"Ma'am, it's dangerous!"

Liu Yunxiang patted her hand and said, "You go home first, I'll go back later."

After saying that, she started to jog.

Not far away, she saw Yan Mu standing at the bridge with a sullen face, his arm injured and his sleeves dyed red.

She pursed her lips, took out the small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured the snake venom into the handkerchief, and ran towards Yan Mu.
