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

This Xie Wenqing was spoiled by the second wife and became arrogant and unreasonable, but now that the Hou Mansion is in decline, she can no longer support her arrogance.

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang refused to give, Xie Wenqing left angrily.

In the afternoon, someone came from the old lady and asked her to go to the east courtyard.

I thought it was Xie Wenqing who had complained, and the old lady was going to scold her, but when she passed, she found that the battle was quite big, and even the eldest lady, who had been saying she was sick in the main room and could not go out, came.

She was wearing a brown spring shirt. She was not very old, but her hair was already half a century old. Her body looked very weak, her face was pale, and she looked sick at first glance.

At this time, she was sitting upright and still had the bearing of a lady in the Hou Mansion.

The old lady sat on the main seat and sighed, while the second lady covered her face and cried.

After Liu Yunxiang saluted, he sat down on the chair on the other side.

The old lady glared at her and frowned: "What did you do to make us wait for so long?"

When Yulian passed by, Liu Yunxiang was taking a nap, feeling listless for a while, and it took him a while to recover before coming over.

Liu Yunxiang yawned, "Then don't wait for me. If you have anything to do, just discuss it with the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. I have no objection."

"Who asked you to have an opinion?"

"Then what did you want me to get?"

The old lady took a deep breath and then said: "The second brother got into a fight with the son of the governor of the Ministry of War over a trivial matter, and your second brother broke his head because of his incompetence. Others reported it to the police, and the Jingzhao Mansion arrested your second brother. "

The second lady cried: "Both of us were drunk. You hit me, and I hit you. Why did you report it to the official and make the matter so big?"

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and said nothing. Since the incident was reported to the police, the governor's son must have been beaten severely.

"I asked the old lady from the Minister of War's family to make peace, but the governor didn't know what to do and wanted to go to the Holy Lord." The old lady stomped her crutch angrily, "If it had been before, he would have come to our prince's house to apologize. of."

"The second master is still in prison, so he may be feeling aggrieved." The second lady said, wiping away tears.

The old lady waved her hand, "That's all, at this juncture, we in the Hou family don't dare to show our faces in front of the Holy Lord. The governor's house wants 5000 taels of silver before we are willing to reconcile, but our house has no money in its account, so I called you here, you guys Give it a try."

After hearing this, the eldest lady coughed several times, then stood up with support on the table, looking shaky, but the woman beside her supported her.

"Mother, the doctor and I have made a new prescription, which requires two or two ginsengs a day. Yesterday, the maid reported that the house has run out of ginseng. Please ask the people below to make up for it as soon as possible."

The old lady frowned and said, "I'm talking about the second child. What did you tell me about ginseng?"

The eldest lady smiled bitterly, "Mom, I can't save my life, and I still care about whether others live or die."

After saying that, she bowed slightly and let the people around her help her away.

Although the old lady was angry, there was nothing she could do. She could only look at Liu Yunxiang.

"Xiao Si said that you took two pieces of cloth from the second room's private treasury to make new clothes for Xiao Wu?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes."

"It's enough if you have some clothes to wear, why waste so much. Bring two pieces of cloth and put them here with me, and you can take some valuables to the pawn shop and collect 5000 taels of silver to save your second brother."

The old lady said it neatly, but Liu Yunxiang wanted to laugh when she heard it.

"Mother, you can't always cheat me, can you?"

"Whatever I say here, we are all one family, no matter what is yours or mine."

"Then the second sister-in-law's private treasury cannot be opened, and yours cannot be opened, but mine must be opened. Besides, you have sold all my dowry, and there is nothing left!"

"You dare to disobey your elders, you..."

"Ouch!" Liu Yunxiang covered his head, "Why does my head hurt so much? Jin Yan, help me back quickly, my life is almost gone."

Jin Yan hurriedly helped Liu Yunxiang up, and the master and servant ran away quickly.

"Madam, I guess the old lady won't let it go." Jinyan said worriedly.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and said, "She can make her move, and I will follow."

That night, Zijin appeared in Liu Yunxiang's room and said that the housekeeper had sneaked into the second room with several people.

Liu Yunxiang stood up and stood in front of the window. He looked out through a gap and saw them prying open the iron rope of the warehouse. Not long after entering, one after another came out carrying many things.

"I'll tie them up and hang them on the tree." Zi Jin said expressionlessly.

Liu Yunxiang sneered, "Let them steal it."

Zijin widened his eyes slightly, looking puzzled.

"My dowry has been used to support my family, so how can I get anything good?"

With that said, she lay back.

"But you can't take advantage of these thieves. Just wait until daybreak and report them to the official."

"Yes."
