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

The mother-in-law's eyes widened and she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Yunxiang knew that he had guessed correctly. The queen told her that when she sent the maid next to her to burn incense for the Queen Mother at Ziyun Temple, she found a 100-tael silver note under Chen Xuan's pillow.

After Chen Xuan died, Yan Mu sent someone to search the house, but no banknote was found, so she guessed she gave it to the woman.

"You didn't ask where the 100 taels came from, but you knew that the source must be illegal. You were afraid that the government would recover the money, so you refused to go to the government to identify the body and sign it. In order to keep the 100 taels you got, you even You don't even want your daughter's body, are you still worthy of being a mother?" Liu Yunxiang shouted in a low voice.

"She stole things from the palace and pawned them off. That's because she was stupid. It's none of my business. You can't even take that money back. It's my daughter's filial piety. No one can take it away." Mrs. Chen said with a livid face.

"It's up to you!"

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes, then howled, "Oh God... They are trying to force me to death... I won't live anymore..."

With that said, Mrs. Chen stood up and was about to hit the wall.

Liu Yunxiang shouted to the official over there: "Don't block her, let her hit her. As long as she doesn't die, she will be taken back to the government for interrogation."

"I don't want to live anymore..." Mrs. Chen howled again unwillingly when she saw that there was no official official to stop her.

"There's no doctor in the cell. You'd better hit him to death, otherwise you'll be put in the cell and have to wait until the blood dries up before you die."

After hearing this, the woman's legs became weak and she fell back to the ground.

She really wasn't afraid of those official duties, but she was really afraid of this princess.

Liu Yunxiang stood up and looked at the woman condescendingly, "One more question, how much does your jar of wine cost?"

"ten……"

"Think carefully before answering. Blackmailing someone will result in an additional penalty!"

The mother-in-law made a sad face and said, "One tael of silver."

Liu Yunxiang took out a tael of silver from his wallet and threw it to the woman, then turned back to Yan Mu and said, "She is involved in Chen Xuan's suicide case. Let's take her to the Criminal Department for interrogation first."

Yan Mu nodded and asked the official to take it back.

At this time, a tall and thin man wearing a coarse cloth squeezed in at the door, "Hey, why are you blocking the door of my house? You are all idle, are you looking at my newly built house with greed?"

"Hey, something big happened to your family. Where have you been?" A neighbor's wife yelled at him.

"You control where I go!"

"He must have gone to the gambling house again!"

"Worry about your son who only sells sesame oil!"

The neighbors pointed at the man and scolded him for his failure.

The man squeezed in and saw his mother being escorted by officers. He was stunned and said, "What, what's going on?"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "It's none of your business, don't ask random questions. You should prepare for the marriage at home first. Then you must not be embarrassed. Mom will be back in a few days."

The man glanced around and asked Dahei, who was nearest him, "What about my sister?"

Dahei nodded, "Yes."

"If you want me to die, just die. Just bury it anywhere. As for you guys coming here one after another. Just let my mother go. I'll go get her body. I won't bother you."

"Not now."

"Do you have to take my mother away?"

"We're going to interrogate him."

The man nodded, then looked at Mrs. Chen, "Mom, just go with them, but give me 20 taels of silver first."

Mrs. Chen's eyes widened, "What do you want the money for?"

The man scratched his head and said, "I owe the gambling house 20 taels."

"Didn't you promise your mother not to gamble?"

"Oops, last time."

"You..." The mother-in-law was so angry that she was shaking all over, "I have already paid you 100 taels before, but the family really has no money. We haven't even got the money for your wedding yet!"

"Didn't you go up the mountain to ask for money from your sister? Didn't you come back?"

"She said she had no money. I asked her to find a way to raise it, but when I went to find her again, she hanged herself. This woman is really useless!"

"Then she dies completely. What will happen to the gambling debt I owe? They say they will chop off my hands if I don't pay back the money!"

"There's nothing I can do!"

When Dahei heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Then let me chop off your hands so that you don't have to gamble anymore."

"Hey, how did you talk?"

"That is, my son still wants to marry a wife and continue the family lineage of our Chen family!"

Dahei waved his hand at the official next to him, "Get it away quickly, it will make you angry!"

No longer caring about the man, the officers took Mrs. Chen away.

Liu Yunxiang followed Yan Mu out of Chen's courtyard and saw him calling Dahei to a stop.

"Brothers, you have worked hard today. In the evening, you take them to a wine shop to drink and settle the accounts with me."

Dahei was a little embarrassed, "Why don't we just forget it?"

"what happened?"

"No one wants to give us credit anymore."

Yan Mu's face turned red, "When the salary is paid, I will return it to the store."

"People don't believe that the dignified Zhenbei King... still has to pay the bills." Dahei said and stuck out his tongue.

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he stepped forward while holding back his laughter and gave a piece of silver to Dahei. "Hang up His Highness' account at the back and ask the shopkeeper to go to the palace to get the silver."

Dahei was now happy, "Okay, let's listen to the princess!"

Dahei led other officials back to the palace first, with Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu walking behind. Seeing him frowning and feeling a little sad, he changed his mind and said, "You don't want to spend my money?"

"It's a man who doesn't even want to."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "When I opened Lingyun Grain Shop, you gave me 10 taels and agreed to work together, so you are actually Lingyun's owner."

"I don't know what he did, but now I don't want to take advantage of you."

Liu Yunxiang took Yan Mu's hand and said, "But we don't distinguish each other."

"I haven't recovered my memory yet."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes, so what he meant was that he was not who he was before. He was forcibly dividing himself into two people, the front and the back. When she heard this, she was unhappy.

"But you are you, and in my heart you are the same."

"We still need to figure it out first."

"Do you really want to settle with me?"

"Ah."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Then we have a lot of debt. Not to mention other things, you owed me a lot when we were in Beijin alone."

Liu Yunxiang really listed them out one by one. At the moment, he was struggling with how many taels of silver there were, but every account she read was no less than 1 taels. When she read it to the end, she saw Yan Mu's face turned blue.

"Do you accept these accounts?"

Yan Mu pursed his lips and nodded seriously as if he was going to die righteously, "Acknowledge."

"Then pay it back."

"When I get my salary..."

"Your salary will never be repaid in your lifetime."

"..."

Liu Yunxiang laughed, turned around and hugged Yan Mu, "But I want you to pay it back, right away, so you have only one way."

"what?"

"Pay off the debt with your body."
