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

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth secretly, then raised his eyes to look at Xie Zian, watching him kneeling on the ground in a panic being escorted by two men, watching his long green cloth coat have long lost the elegant demeanor of the handsome young man in the past, and looking at his expression There is a sense of pride in returning home in triumph.

This man is so hypocritical.

"Who are you?" Liu Yunxiang asked with raised eyebrows.

Xie Zian was shocked, "You don't know me?"

"Oh, do I need to know a thief?"

Xie Zian shook his head, "No, there's no way you don't know me!"

Liniang said anxiously: "He is Xie Zian, your husband!"

Liu Yunxiang seemed to have heard a huge joke, "My husband has died a long time ago, and no one in the entire Shengjing City knows about it. If you say he is my husband, could it be that he came out of the underworld?"

"I'm not dead!" Xie Zian gritted his teeth.

"Although you look similar to my husband, you are definitely not him. My husband is a responsible man. If he had not sacrificed, he would have rushed home. He knew that his father and brother had died, and he knew that a group of women and children in the family needed to be taken care of. I If my husband had not sacrificed his life, he would have stood up and told the whole story when the court was investigating the Northwest case, so as to preserve the honorary reputation of those thousands of soldiers who had sacrificed their lives. If my husband had not sacrificed his life, he would not have hidden himself. Even marrying a wife and having children, completely forgetting the responsibilities of family and country, and the responsibilities of a man, a son, and a husband. So, don't insult my husband!"

Liu Yunxiang wept every word, facing Xie Zian directly, every sentence was a torture.

"I was injured at the time, and I couldn't help myself with many things." Xie Zian said, losing his previous momentum. After all, he still had a little shame, but not much.

"Madam, he is really grateful to Zian. The dignified Third Master of the Hou Mansion of Jing'an, please get that guy back as soon as possible. Don't make the matter a big deal. If anything happens, let's go back to the Hou Mansion and tell him. My husband has also suffered a lot. Liniang said with tears in her eyes.

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "You said he is my husband Xie Zian, then who are you?"

"I……"

"Didn't you keep calling him husband?"

Liniang blushed with embarrassment and could not say a word.

Liu Yunxiang turned around in disgust and said to the female boss: "Leave the rest to the female boss."

The female boss nodded, "Okay, this is Madam's jewelry."

Jinyan stepped forward to catch it, and then went to pay.

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was leaving, Xie Zian became anxious, "Xiangxiang, I'm really Xie Zian, I'm back!"

Liu Yunxiang flicked his sleeves and said, "Shameless maniac!"

After saying that, she took Jinyan and strode out of the jewelry store.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. People were rushing on the street, and Liu Yunxiang and Jin Yan were also walking home in a hurry. When passing a grain store, two people came out shaking their heads.

"Rice and noodles have been in short supply these past two days. If they arrive a little late, they will be gone."

"I heard that the official road to the capital was washed away by flash floods, and even rice and grain could not be transported in. But don't worry too much. We in Shengjing guard the largest granary in the entire Rong Dynasty, so we will never go hungry."

"Hey, come over early tomorrow."

"No, I don't have much rice and noodles left at home."

Liu Yunxiang passed by the two men and sighed slightly when he heard this. It seemed that famine was coming. There is a limit to what she can do, but she is doing her best.

At this time, he heard the hurried sound of horse hooves in the distance. Liu Yunxiang raised his umbrella and looked into the distance through the rain and fog. But I saw a group of Dongchang soldiers wearing Jin Yiwei Feiyu uniforms galloping towards them, and the leader was dressed in black clothes and a cloak, with a solemn expression but a beautiful appearance.

It was Yan Mu.

He sped past, only glancing at her briefly.

Back at the Hou Mansion, during dinner, Jinyan went to the kitchen, but what he got was still clear soup and little water.

"Madam, we can't always bear it, can we?"

Liu Yunxiang asked: "What do other hospitals eat?"

"In the old lady's courtyard, there is ginseng chicken soup and braised pork ribs. The eldest lady is vegetarian, but there is bird's nest soup. There are some meat and some vegetarian dishes in the second room, which is also very rich." Jin Yan became more and more angry as he talked, and couldn't help but said: "Old man She told the kitchen that if she wanted to add more food, all parties would have to pay for it out of their own pockets. She clearly knows that you have used all your dowry to supplement the public use, so there is no money left, so she is clearly targeting you."

"How many days have we had this kind of meal?"

"It's been more than ten days, but we can't go on like this. Your body won't be able to bear it."

"Has the government paid you monthly payments?"

Jinyan shook his head, "It's already June, and the May ones haven't been issued yet."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes darkened, "There is no money in the account, so naturally I can't pay it out."

After dinner, a message came from the east courtyard asking Liu Yunxiang to come over.

When she passed by, the old lady, the eldest lady and the second lady were all there. As soon as she sat down, the second lady threw the account book in front of her.

"There is a deficit in this account. You must have pocketed it."
