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

Mrs. Cheng led the way, and even passed by the courtyard where Liu Yunxiang lived before leaving the palace.

Jinyan didn't understand what she just said, thinking that the girl was staying in her own yard when she returned home, so he was about to go in with Xinruan on his back, but was stopped by Mrs. Cheng.

"This is the courtyard where we live."

Jin Yan was stunned for a moment, "But this is our girl..."

"My aunt has let us live here for more than two years. We can't make room for her just because my aunt comes back to stay for a few days."

"you……"

"I also specifically asked my aunt, and she said that the west wing is still vacant, so I can just let my aunt live there."

Jinyan was blocked by Cheng twice in a row, and looking at her proud look, he knew she did it on purpose.

"Girl, why don't we ask the madam? As long as you ask, the madam will definitely ask them to make room for you." When Jin Yan said this, her voice was not loud. It was obvious that she was not sure about this.

Liu Yunxiang didn't pay much attention, "That's it, it saves you the trouble."

When we came to the west courtyard, the courtyard was close to the west courtyard wall. The wall was very high and the courtyard was wide, so it looked dark and cramped. After Mrs. Cheng brought them over, she found an excuse to escape quickly, fearing that Liu Yunxiang would not want to live here or would pick up things.

This yard has not been inhabited for a long time. It is said that it has been cleaned, but except for weeding, everything is dirty and messy. Qi Qi entered the house, which was also dark, with no light coming in, and two pieces of furniture.

It was obviously summer, but the room was gloomy and cold.

"Girl, let's go find Madam and ask them to free up your yard!" Jin Yan said.

Liu Yunxiang's thoughts were not on food and accommodation, and she had no hope for Mrs. Liu, so she was not angry or aggrieved.

"Just stay here."

"But the Cheng family is clearly bullying you!"

"I have no time to argue with her, I have more important things to do."

Liu Yunxiang wrote a letter and asked Zijin to give it to Su Rumeng.

Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang put on a veil, took Zijin and came out of the west courtyard. There is also an advantage to living here, that is, it is close to the back door. Go forward from here and pass through a corridor to the back door.

She just walked to the back door and spoke to the boy guarding the door. Before she could open the door, someone knocked on the door first.

The boy went to open the door, and in came Mr. Liu, wearing a green robe, smelling of alcohol, and walked in crookedly. The left side of his face was red and swollen, as if he had been punched.

"You bitch slave, I'm lame. It took me so long to open the door and made your second master wait for so long." Liu Yong cursed inarticulately.

The boy had to apologize and explain: "How dare you? As soon as I heard the knock on the door, I hurriedly opened the door."

"Why don't you hurry up and help your second master?"

"Yes."

Liu Er and other boys came over and kicked him first, and then let him support him. After taking two steps forward like this, he realized that there was still someone there. He must have looked at Liu Yunxiang for a long time and exclaimed, "This girl is indeed back."

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "I heard that my second uncle hasn't been at home these days. How did he know that I was coming back?"

Qin Feishi and Shangguan Xu were still chasing her, so naturally she didn't want the news of her return to the Vice Minister's Mansion to be leaked.

Liu Er burped, "When I see your second uncle, why don't you say hello quickly?"

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, bent down and bowed, "Second uncle, Yunxiang wishes you well."

Liu Er nodded with satisfaction, "Where are you going?"

"Go out to do errands."

"What to do?"

"Second uncle should go back to what needs to be done, and stop asking around."

After saying that, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and walked out.

"This girl has not been polite since she was a child. She always looks lukewarm when she sees me. It doesn't matter that my eldest brother is the minister of etiquette. My daughter can't teach her well."

Liu Er's words came out, and Liu Yunxiang was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The back door was an alley. Liu Yunxiang did not go to the street. Instead, he walked through the alley and tried to find a place with as few people as possible.

Zi Jin followed behind, glanced sideways, and whispered: "Girl, that Liu Er is following behind secretly."

Liu Yunxiang also heard footsteps behind him. They were staggering and the sound was not quiet. It was just far away and sometimes close. He was obviously following them secretly.

I just didn’t expect it to be Liu Er.

"We just get rid of him."

"Yes."

When they passed a pile of straw, Zijin pushed it down behind them, so when they turned the corner, Liu Er couldn't catch up.

After wandering around, Zijin was surprised to find that they had arrived at the back door of Lingyun Grain Shop. Zhang Qi had already prepared the carriage and was waiting for them at the back door.

Seeing them coming, Zhang Qi stepped forward with a smile and saluted Liu Yunxiang.

"Master, we haven't seen each other for three or four years."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "Yes, I rely on Manager Zhang to open Lingyun's shops all over the world and keep them in order without letting me get distracted."

She and Zhang Qi have already been in a cooperative relationship, not a boss and a clerk. She shares the profits of these shops with Zhang Qi and the stewards and clerks below in proportion.

Everyone makes money, so everyone is united.

"My boss can't say that. We can cooperate with Mr. Pei Xiaohou of Beijin to do business in Xiyue. This is a big business. Just one trip last month was worth half of our entire store's annual profit." Zhang Qi felt like this. exaggerate.

The jade produced in the jade mines in Xiyue is of good quality and is particularly popular. However, because jade mines in Xiyue are rarely mined, things are rare and expensive. Jade in Xiyue is extremely expensive, and they only need to exchange it for Yun brocade. In addition, they have Weaving workshop, this is more profitable.

Of course, not everyone can do this business. First, the checkpoints in the northwest must be cleared. And the northwest is now under the jurisdiction of Suping Prince's Palace. The court can't talk much, but it has opened a trade route for Lingyun alone.

This is Liu Yunxiang's ability, and others really don't have it.

"We passed the Northwest Pass and took care of a lot with Prince Suping's Mansion. Don't worry, my boss."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "By the way, how is the situation in the northwest?"

"In the past, there was civil strife in the northwest. After Prince Lu took control, he regained the scattered forces bit by bit. Now the situation has become much more stable."

"He has the ability."

Liu Yunxiang and Zhang Qi talked for a while, and because they still had important things to do, they got on the carriage and left.

Outside the Third Prince's Mansion, after Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage, Su Rumeng's maid was waiting at the door, leading her into the manor and away.

Arriving at the main courtyard, Su Rumeng was not in the hall but waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and saluted Su Rumeng first, "Third Imperial Concubine, Yunxiang would like to thank you in advance."

Su Rumeng hurriedly helped Liu Yunxiang up, "We don't have to be like this between us."

Liu Yunxiang held Su Rumeng's hand and said, "Yunxiang will bear in mind the kindness of offering help in times of need and will not dare to forget it."

"Okay, come in quickly, the queen is waiting inside."

Liu Yunxiang nodded. Now she had to deal with Shangguan Xu, and there was no one at hand, but the enemy's enemy could cooperate, so she thought of the queen.

The third prince was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, but he has not yet returned to the capital. The fourth prince was designed to be imprisoned in the Shan Nian Camp. The emperor only had the ninth prince under his nose.

The Queen is eager to break this situation, and this is an opportunity for her and the Queen to cooperate.
