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

In two days, it was time to go to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to enjoy the lotus flowers. It happened to be a holiday, so Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang went together.

On the carriage, Liu Yunxiang reminded himself again and again: "Let them be mean if they talk bad words. This princess is here to make good friends, not to kill people and set fires. Just bear with it and it will be over."

Yan Mu hugged his shoulders and looked at Liu Yunxiang with a smile. He didn't think Liu Yunxiang could hold it back, and there was no need to hold it back. Their bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. To put it bluntly, they are very popular, have a bad reputation, and are thick-skinned enough to not be afraid of making trouble too ugly. However, these aristocratic families value face most, and based on this alone, there is no need to tolerate it.

There were many carriages parked outside the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. When Liu Yunxiang and the others passed by, a maid and a servant came forward to lead the way.

The male guests are in the west courtyard and the female guests are in the east courtyard.

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang separated at the door, and Yan Mu whispered: "Don't hold it back, let Zijin call me if you get into trouble."

Liu Yunxiang's heart warmed, and he said coquettishly: "I'm such a good-tempered person, I can't do that."

Yan Mu chuckled, "Try not to kill people and set things on fire."

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "Don't worry!"

After they separated, Liu Yunxiang followed the maid from the Hou Mansion to the west courtyard. The Dingyuan Hou Mansion had repainted the entire house for this banquet. Many new flowers and trees were planted on both sides of the road. The scenery changed from time to time along the way.

The maids and servants who came and went were all beaming with joy.

Liu Yunxiang remembered what Yan Mu had told him before, saying that a little maidservant died in Dingyuanhou Mansion. She was tortured and died in a very tragic manner.

"Did a maid in your palace get killed?" she asked.

The maid who was leading the way shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly bent down and replied: "Yes, but she died on Zhuangzi, and the old lady didn't let us mention it. It's unlucky."

"Why is she in Zhuangzi?"

The maid paused for a moment and then said: "Madam is not feeling well. She has been living in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city for more than a year. She is Madam's maid, so she also stays with Madam in Zhuangzi."

Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask again, but the little maid hurriedly took a few steps forward, her head lowered, obviously afraid of getting into trouble by talking too much.

Seeing this, Liu Yunxiang stopped asking.

Qin Feishi asked Hongzhu to kill someone. That person must be very important. At present, it seems that it is not the little maid.

When you come to the backyard, you can see many family members of officials from aristocratic families. They all brought their married maids and wives, but she only brought one Zijin with her, which was somewhat unable to support the appearance of the Zhenbei Palace.

At this time, they were dressed up and gathered together as if they were comparing their beauty. They were chatting and laughing, wearing jewelry and jade rings, like flowers.

Liu Yunxiang's laughter became shallower as she walked by. No one looked at her, either simply looking at her, or exploring with ulterior motives, or being amazed by this beautiful beauty, or feeling jealous.

Indeed, Liu Yunxiang was dressed up carefully today, wearing the best gold-lined moon brocade and a full set of gold and jade hair and face. And she was naturally extremely beautiful, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

And with her identity here, no matter what these people were thinking, they had to salute her respectfully whenever they bumped into her.

Arriving outside the main room in the west courtyard, Liu Yunxiang listened to the excitement in the room. Liu Yunxiang asked the maid who led the way to do other things first. She took Zijin to the door and heard someone say: "Who in our Jing'an Marquis Mansion does not I sympathized with her young age and was widowed, so all the good things were sent to her house, even us, the legitimate sons and daughters, had to stay behind. Especially during the famine that year, no one was short of food. Our prince's house was also in short supply, but my grandmother Tell us, we would rather be hungry than my third aunt."

this sound...

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, it was Xie Wenqing!

The four girls in the Jingan Marquis Mansion were so scattered that no one was left in the Marquis Mansion at that time. As for Xie Wenqing, she really didn't know what happened to her later.

"It is said that the Marquis of Jing'an has nothing to do with Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu and that one were really entangled. In the end, the third master of the Hou's mansion died with hatred. Ouch, this woman is really capable, and now she has become a It’s really amazing to win Princess Zhenbei!”

"So, the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion was brought down by this woman!"

"I've seen her viciousness before. Look at my hands, they were scalded by her with boiling water!" These words came from Mrs. Dingyuan Hou. Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes and said together to a group of people in the room. She talks bad words.

"The fall of the Marquis of Jing'an began with the Western Expedition, followed by the confiscation of the house. It was very difficult for a time. I heard that it was Mrs. Liu who took out her dowry to survive. Later, she ran around to save Mr. Xie. , we have seen her go to various houses for help, so we cannot blame her as a woman for the fall of the Hou Mansion. Putting aside the other things, the Hou Mansion has closed the door. We don’t know what is going on inside, and it is hard to say anything. "

This was fair. Liu Yunxiang's heart changed, he opened the curtain and walked in.

As soon as she entered, everyone stood up one after another, even the old lady Dingyuan Hou who was sitting in the front seat had to stand up and salute respectfully.

Liu Yunxiang glanced over and first saw Xie Wenqing standing next to Mrs. Dingyuan Hou. She was already married, but her status was not high and she was dressed in ordinary clothes. She looked again and saw a lady sitting below the old lady. She was wearing a purple coat and was dressed plainly, but she was still noble.

She knew this lady, the wife of Duke Zhen Guo.

Those few fair words just now should be what she said.

"I just heard the excitement inside from afar. I don't know what to say. Let me listen." She said, waving her hands, "Madams, please take a seat. There is no need to be formal."

The old lady of Dingyuan Marquis answered: "We are just chatting. Princess, please sit here."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, walked to the seat to the left of Mrs. Dingyuanhou, and saw her sitting down before the other ladies sat down.

"I have long ears, so I actually heard someone say, 'Who is evil?'" she asked with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the ladies below inevitably looked embarrassed.

Madam Dingyuan Hou smiled quickly and said, "Princess, you heard wrong."

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"No."

"It turns out no one said this. That's right. You all have status, so you won't say bad things about others behind their backs."

Those sitting in the hall were so ashamed that they couldn't even lift their heads.

Mrs. Zhen Guo was the only one who could raise her head. She said calmly: "Princess, please drink tea first. Everyone is respecting you at that time."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, and then said: "I don't dare. After all, I am younger than you all. If I do anything wrong in the future, please ask the ladies for guidance."

"Don't dare."

"The princess is humble."

When the ladies heard what Liu Yunxiang said, their expressions relaxed a little.

Liu Yunxiang took a sip of tea, then looked at Xie Wenqing who was standing aside, and said, "Fourth girl, we haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know how to call you now?"

When Xie Wenqing heard this, her expression changed. It was Mrs. Dingyuanhou who answered for her.

"Back then, the Marquis of Jing'an was deprived of his title and even his house was confiscated. I saw that the child was pitiful, so I took him back to my house. After a year, she married my eldest son and became my concubine."

Liu Yunxiangmo said that the old Marquis of Dingyuan had two sons. The eldest son was supposed to succeed him in the title, but the eldest son failed to live up to expectations and was a playboy, so he let the younger son take the title.

Xie Wenqing became a concubine to the Duke of Dingyuan, who was the same generation as the Second Master Xie and was old enough to be her father, and he was also an old bastard.

This old lady of Dingyuanhou is clearly a waste of time.

Xie Wenqing's pupils shrank, and then she asked with a smile: "It's been a long time since we last saw each other, but we're just meeting again. I wonder whether I should call you Princess or Third Aunt?"

The identity of the third wife of the Marquis of Jing'an was not something she could get rid of just because she wanted to.
