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

When it got dark, Mu Jin went to the door of the house to take a look, and came back to report that Mrs. Liu was still kneeling there.

"She actually forced me!" Liu Yunxiang said sadly and angrily.

"Girl, let's ignore her!" Jin Yan tried his best to hold back, but still cried, "How can there be such a mother in this world who insists on forcing her daughter to death!"

Liu Yunxiang leaned against the wooden pillar in front of the door. His heart had been hurting all day long, as if something was hitting him hard.

Mu Jin sighed, "My servant just gave Madam Liu a bowl of ginseng soup. She thanked His Highness Seventh Highness for the gift, but refused to drink it."

"Let her be hungry. The girl hasn't eaten anything all day." Jin Yan said.

Not long after, Yan Mu came back from finishing his errands. When he saw Mrs. Liu, he was surprised at first, and then stepped forward to persuade her. After all the good things he said, she only said: Please return my daughter to His Majesty the Seventh Highness.

Yan Mu could be cruel to Old Lady Xie, but he did not dare to be cruel to Mrs. Liu, who was Liu Yunxiang's biological mother after all.

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Liu Yunxiang leaning against a wooden pillar. His eyes were red and swollen. He had been crying for I don't know how long. He stepped forward to hug her, lowered his head and kissed her.

"I'll take her back to the Minister's Mansion right now."

"It's useless, she will come again."

"I knocked her unconscious."

"There's always a time to wake up."

"I……"

Liu Yunxiang leaned in Yan Mu's arms and sighed: "I haven't told you, right? It was my parents who sent me to Xie Zian that night. They knew what Xie Zian was and knew how to give me to him. It’s like sending me into a pit of fire, but for the sake of the Liu family’s face and for my father’s reinstatement, they still did it.”

Yan Mu gritted his teeth, "I will avenge you!"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed Yan Mu and said, "If the world doesn't know the truth, they will only accuse me of being unfilial."

"You care"

"I don't care." Liu Yunxiang pulled Yan Mu to sit down, "I haven't done anything wrong to them, why should I be cast aside by the world?"

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang tightly, "Then let her go. We will send her back when she faints from hunger."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, but he was helpless.

It was another whole night, and Mrs. Liu was still kneeling outside. Now she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and could only half lie on the ground. The fact that Mrs. Liu was kneeling at the door of Yan's Mansion was already known throughout the city and was being discussed in the streets and alleys.

They were all scolding Liu Yunxiang for being unfilial, and scolding Yan Mu for taking advantage of his status as the seventh prince to rob other people's daughters.

Liu Yunxiang's matter has been forced into a dead end. Unless he takes the initiative to return to the Hou Mansion, if the Hou Mansion doesn't give up and the Liu family doesn't give up, then this matter will not be resolved.

If Mrs. Liu really starved to death at the gate of Yan's Mansion, and Da Rong governed the world with filial piety, then Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu would definitely be punished by the people of the world. At that time, in order to stabilize the government and appease people's hearts, the emperor would definitely punish them severely.

I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death!

Liu Yunxiang didn't expect that one day she would be forced to do this by her biological mother, but looking at the two little guys playing around her, she couldn't bear to say those depressing words.

Yan Mu was summoned to the palace again, and he probably needed a scolding.

Jin Yan came in at this time, "Girl, Prince Lu wants to see you outside."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Let him come in."

When Lu Changan came in, Yan'er saw him and ran over shouting daddy. Lu Changan picked up Yan'er, and the father and son talked for a while before coming over.

Lu Changan bowed to Liu Yunxiang, and Liu Yunxiang returned the salute.

"I wonder if there is anything I can do to help Madam?"

Liu Yunxiang was deeply moved, but shook his head, "Yunxiang understands the prince's wishes, but the current situation will not affect the prince anymore."

"Whatever the madam said, I'm not afraid of being implicated."

Liu Yunxiang still shook his head, "My reputation is already extremely bad, and the prince is a role model for scholars in the world, so don't get involved in my muddy water."

"The world doesn't know it, but I know my wife's character. Those who scold her are not worthy at all."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I don't need the world to know what kind of person I am, but the prince knows that and the prince believes in me, I feel relieved."

The two are friends, and this is a life-long friendship.

After Lu Changan left, Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and asked Mu Jin to invite Mrs. Liu in for a chat.

Mujin went, but soon came back alone: ​​"Madam, Madam Liu said that if you want to say anything to her, just go out and say it in front of everyone."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, stood up and walked out.

"Madam!" Mu Jin hurriedly stopped Liu Yunxiang, "You are right, but in front of Madam Liu, the word filial piety is the most important. If you don't obey her, you are unfilial, so you are not honest. And as soon as you show up, it proves that you are really here. Yan Mansion, things will only get more and more out of control."

Liu Yunxiang didn't know why, but there was no other way at the moment.

At this moment, Yan Mu came back, supported by Jiang Yuan and the beggar.

"What's going on?" Liu Yunxiang hurriedly asked.

The beggar sighed: "The emperor rewarded him with thirty slabs."

Liu Yunxiang panicked and hurriedly looked behind Yan Mu. He was wearing a sky blue robe, already soaked with blood.

"Is there anything unreasonable about this!"

Liu Yunxiang was so angry that he stamped his feet, tears falling down.

Yan Mu hurriedly hugged her, "It's only thirty big boards, which is already very light. Besides, with my body, I can still be active even if I can carry a hundred big boards."

"But as long as I don't leave your place, sooner or later there will be no end."

"I imprison you here. You can leave if you want."

At this time, the boy at the door came to report that Feng Jia, the Queen Mother, was approaching the door.

Everyone was shocked at that moment, and the beggar tsked, "What kind of trouble does the Queen Mother come to cause?"

Yan Mu was silent for a moment and asked Liu Yunxiang to go back to the backyard while he went to pick him up from the front.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I'll go with you. The Queen Mother has decided to do this for this reason. It's pointless for me to hide anymore."

Yan Mu thought about it, "Then you wait in the front yard."

"it is good."

Yan Mu pushed himself out of the mansion and welcomed the Queen Mother inside.

When the Queen Mother came in, she also called Mrs. Liu.

"I invite you, can you please do it?"

Madam Liu naturally did not dare to move still, so she quickly stood up, but her legs were trembling from having knelt for a long time. The Queen Mother could see it, but no one came forward to help her.

Arriving at the front yard, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to salute.

The Queen Mother smiled: "You are indeed here with Lao Qi."

"The daughter of the people has implicated His Highness the Seventh Highness."

"He licked his face and made you suffer, so it's his fault." The Queen Mother said as she glared at Yan Mu.

Yan Mu originally pretended to be fine in front of Liu Yunxiang, but in front of the Queen Mother, he grimaced in pain and showed the Queen Mother a large wet bloodstain on his back.

The Queen Mother looked at it and was angry and distressed: "You deserve it!"

She took a deep breath and looked back at Mrs. Liu, "I don't like to interfere in other people's family affairs, but since His Highness the Seventh is involved, as his grandmother, I must give your Liu family justice."

She pointed at Liu Yunxiang, "Don't you want him to return it to your daughter? He is right here. You can take him away."

"Grandma!" Yan Mu was shocked.

The Queen Mother shouted angrily: "You can't stop my daughter!"
