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

Liu Yunxiang waited in the private room on the second floor of Huashang Pavilion for a long time before An Hong came slowly, looking impatient.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that you want to report me? Oh, what are you reporting me for? You can prove that I ordered you to release that Manxiang to Nanhonglou. But if I say a word, the people in the government will still pretend to be deaf and dumb. You have What method?"

Anhong said as he sat down and drank a large cup of tea, looking a little impatient.

"I don't have time to fight with you. If you are wise, get out of here!"

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, Jinshan was on fire. Although he was hiding behind his back, he was afraid of being dug out. At this moment, he was hurriedly cleaning up the mess.

"Since Boss An is so unreasonable." Liu Yunxiang raised his eyes to look at An Hong and snorted, "We can only honestly explain to the government that we are indeed secretly selling manxiang."

When An Hong heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Liu Yunxiang.

"What trick are you trying to play?"

"Our manxiang is obtained from your boss An."

An Nong narrowed his eyes, and then sneered: "Believe it or not, even if you say this, the Jingzhao Mansion would not dare to come and check me."

"Jinshan is on fire, and a nobleman in the palace has died. The imperial court will definitely order a strict investigation into privately growing vines, making vines, and selling vines. Even if Jingzhao Mansion is afraid of you, Anguo Mansion, it will have to leave. Just a formality. Boss An, at this time, you probably don’t want to get into trouble like this." Liu Yunxiang said calmly.

An Hong laughed loudly, "You threaten me, haha, how dare you, a pariah, threaten me?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at An Hong's smile and watched quietly. When he had laughed enough, she softly said four words: "Penglai Winery."

The smile on Anhong's face froze, and in time turned into astonishment.

"you……"

"Boss An, don't ask me how I know, I have my own means." She interrupted An Hong, then smiled, "I said we got the goods from Penglai Winery, and Jingzhao Mansion must go there to check. If they accidentally discover some shocking case, no matter how afraid they are of Duke An Guo's government, they won't dare to conceal it, especially if Concubine Xiao is the one who died. I think General Wuwei's government is also keeping an eye on this matter."

Concubine Xiao was the sister of General Wuwei. She died tragically in Jinshan, and she died while using forbidden incense. Her reputation was ruined. If they knew that the boss behind Zhuangzi was An Hong, then Duke An Guo's Mansion would completely offend General Wuwei's Mansion.

An Hong clenched his fists and smiled gloomily, "Aren't you afraid of death if you offend me?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled faintly: "I'm afraid, but you, An Hong, can't cover the sky with just one hand."

Coming out of Huashang Pavilion, Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath.

Jinshan was burned, this matter was too big, and Anhong really didn't want to cause trouble at this time, so he compromised.

But at the same time, she was like a needle stuck in An Hong's eyes. From now on, he would stare at her and deal with her at all costs. Thinking of An Hong smiling sinisterly at her when she left, she felt a chill running down her spine.

Later, Liu Yunxiang brought Zijin and Nan Honglou to the outside of Jingzhao Mansion Prison. After waiting for a short time, Shopkeeper Hu was released.

After all, I am getting older. I can't eat or sleep well in prison. I have lost a lot of weight and my legs are weak when I walk now.

The two guys rushed forward to support him, and Liu Yunxiang also came over.

"Shopkeeper Hu, you have suffered."

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head, "I thought I couldn't get out, and I was afraid I would die in prison. So I thought about asking my employer to collect my body, burn it into a handful of ashes, and send it back to Da Rong. I was afraid that if I stayed here, I would die. A lonely ghost."

"Don't say these unlucky things. Go back and have a good rest. We at Nanhong Mansion still need you, Shopkeeper Hu." Liu Yunxiang said with relief.

"Thank you, boss."

Liu Yunxiang asked two waiters to send shopkeeper Hu back to rest, while she took Zijin to Jingchuan Garden.

Just as he turned into an alley, Zijin tugged at the corner of Liu Yunxiang's clothes and said, "Girl, someone is following us."

Liu Yunxiang's heart tightened, "Let's leave quickly!"

"late."

As soon as Zijin finished speaking, a man in black suddenly appeared, and at the same time he raised his sword and killed him.

Liu Yunxiang only saw a flash of cold light. The next moment, Zi Jin was pushed away and took several steps back. When she stabilized her position, she saw that Zi Jin and the man in black were already fighting together.

The man in black had extremely high kung fu, and his moves were very fierce. Zi Jin received dozens of moves, but was too weak to do so, so he could only dodge them one after another.

The man in black forced Zijin to be unable to fight back, then kicked her away, then quickly turned around and stabbed Liu Yunxiang with his sword. Liu Yunxiang hurriedly retreated, but the man in black was extremely fast.

Seeing that the tip of the knife was getting closer and closer, another man in ragged clothes but with a mask appeared. He opened the sword of the man in black and forced him back several steps.

The man in black attacked fiercely, but he was quick to attack and had a flexible body, so he quickly gained the upper hand.

Zi Jin came around and stood in front of Liu Yunxiang.

"Girl, this man in black is the one who put the mouse in our Nanhonglou warehouse and stabbed me."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "People from An Hong."

"But this man dressed like a beggar, is he an enemy or a friend?"

"I don't know."

The man in black was obviously no match for the one in rags. After taking a few steps back, he took the opportunity to escape. The man put the sword back into its sheath, looked back at Liu Yunxiang, and walked out of the alley.

At this glance, Liu Yunxiang saw his eyes through the moonlight, and couldn't help but feel a thud in her heart.

"Excuse me, why did you save me? Do we know each other?" Liu Yunxiang caught up a few steps.

The man didn't stop and said in a hoarse voice: "I came here after Ruan Lingyu, not specifically to save you."

"Ruan Lingyu?"

"That man in black just now."

"But you also saved me. Can you please leave your name so that I can repay you in the future?"

"No need."

As he spoke, the man strode into a run and quickly disappeared into the night.

Zijin caught up and said, "Girl, do you know this person?"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "I didn't see those eyes very clearly, but they felt a bit familiar."

"It's okay, we will meet again."

"Well, I hope."

Coming out of the alley, Jiang Yuan was waiting there.

"Madam, this subordinate didn't show up when he saw someone coming out to save you."

Liu Yunxiang nodded. She expected that An Hong might kill her, so she arranged for Jiang Yuan to protect her in the dark. Even if the man didn't show up, she would not be in danger.

After entering Jingchuan Garden through the back door, Liu Yunxiang came to the backyard.

The beggar was sitting on the steps, holding his bowl and sighing.

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I didn't expect that a day would come when a beggar like me would be inferior to others."

Liu Yunxiang was amused, "Is there any backlash in the begging industry?"

"No, I met a young beggar in the past two days, with a lame leg and a broken arm. When he talked about his life experience, it was so miserable that I shed tears, let alone those little wives and old ladies. They all went home to get him food. Finally, someone saw that my bowl was empty and gave me a steamed bun."

"Do you know the biggest insult to a beggar is to be pitied by another beggar!"

Liu Yunxiang patted the beggar on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be insulted."

"It must be that I have been living too comfortably recently. I no longer have the sense of hunger and urgency. From tomorrow on, I will definitely not eat at home."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and shook his head, walked into the back room, and saw Yan Mu sitting on the bedside, holding a knife in his hand, pointing it directly at his chest, about to stab it in.

"Yan Mu!"
