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

During dinner in the evening, Liu Yunxiang vomited as soon as he took a bite, so he quickly asked Jin Yan to remove all the food.

"Madam, please go ask the doctor."

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, "No need."

"But you haven't eaten much in the past two days, how can this be okay?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I am pregnant."

"Ah?" Jin Yan's eyes widened, "You...your...whose child is it?"

After saying this, Jin Yan hurriedly slapped his mouth hard. Who else could it be, but the traitor and villain?

"I am the third wife of the Marquis Mansion, a widow, but I am pregnant with the child of the then Minister of Dali Temple. If I tell anyone, I will be stabbed in the spine, and even spitting stars will drown me. Especially my parents, if they find out , I’m afraid they’ll force me to hang myself.”

Liu Yunxiang said with bitterness in her heart. Her father was the minister of the Ministry of Rites and had always abided by the ethics. After the third master of the Hou family died in the battle, he told her that she would never remarry. She must remain a widow for her late husband for the rest of her life and be a chaste and martyr woman.

Her mother came from a declining family and attached great importance to her reputation. She taught her the virtues of a woman since she was a child and did not allow her to make a wrong step.

In the past, she had indeed listened to her parents' instructions. She lived in a boudoir at home, never being alone with men or even talking to them.

After marrying into the Hou family, he should be filial to his elders and care about his younger generation. Even if he remains a widow for the rest of his life, he will have no complaints.

But what happened to her in the end?

This time, she wants to change her way of life.

Jin Yan held Liu Yunxiang's hand and asked with red eyes: "Madam, what should you do?"

Liu Yunxiang sneered: "What should I do? Of course I will wait for Xie Zian to return home and be willing to be the father of the child in my belly."

That night, when Liu Yunxiang was about to go to bed, the old lady came in a hurry.

After entering the house, he asked with all his face, "Why didn't you go and serve that traitor?"

Liu Yunxiang's eyes were red, "Mother, what are you talking about, you want your daughter-in-law to serve other men?"

The old lady choked, "Then...your second brother is still in Yan Mu's hands..."

"I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Xie family, I am ashamed of the third master!" Liu Yunxiang cut off the old lady's words, holding her chest and crying bitterly.

"If Third Master has a spirit in heaven, he will definitely call me a foxy person who specializes in seducing men."

The old lady's face turned red, "You, you..."

Shouldn't you have heard what she said to her youngest son?

It's impossible. If she knew that her youngest son was still alive, she would definitely not be able to calm down.

"Jinyan, go and prepare a white silk ribbon for me. I have no shame in living." Liu Yunxiang cried.

Jin Yan stood aside, already trembling with anger. Hearing this, he was also filled with grief and stepped forward to hug Liu Yunxiang.

"Madam, you are suffering this kind of injustice for the sake of the Hou Mansion. I don't know what outsiders say, but as long as there is a person in the Hou Mansion who has a heart, she will remember you!"

"Third Master, how could you be so cruel and leave me, a newly married bride? My father is a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and my mother is a noble daughter of a noble family. If it weren't for you, how could I have come this far? You What a cruel heart, where are you, but in that underworld, I will go to you right away and ask you face to face, do you have any intentions or not?"

"How can you behave so well when you cry and make trouble? I just asked you, but you bit me and refused to let go." The old lady said with a sullen face.

"What does mother want from me?" Liu Yunxiang asked the old lady as she wiped away her tears.

"I……"

Liu Yunxiang looked at the old lady with red eyes to see if she had the nerve to say it again.

The old lady also came from a noble family, and she talked a lot about propriety, justice and integrity, but she really couldn't say it out loud at the moment.

"Okay, just pretend I haven't been here."

Liu Yunxiang didn't hesitate at all and wiped his tears: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is sending it to you."

The old lady was so choked that she said, "No, I'm not bothered enough by seeing you."

After speaking, he left angrily.

Jinyan was sent out and was still crying when he came back.

"Madam, they all say that the human heart is made of flesh. Are their hearts just stones, hard and unable to hold back the heat?"

Liu Yunxiang did not answer the question, pointed to the peach tree outside the window and said, "Let someone cut down this peach tree tomorrow."

"Why?"

"Plant a red plum. It will bloom in the cold weather. Hundreds of flowers will not dare to compete with it."

That night, Liu Yunxiang didn't sleep well. He didn't eat at night and was hungry in the middle of the night. Let Jinyan make a bowl of noodles, but as soon as he took a bite, he vomited again, vomiting out all the bile.

After struggling for most of the night, I fell asleep at dawn.

When I woke up, it was almost noon.

"Madam, Miss Wu came to greet you early in the morning. Seeing that you were still asleep, she was waiting for you in the east room while practicing calligraphy."

Jinyan helped Liu Yunxiang sit up, but hesitated to speak.

"Madam, please forgive me for being bold...Why don't you want to see the fifth girl these days?"
