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

After the banquet ended, Liu Yunxiang and Su Rumeng left the house together.

"The third child is not here today?"

When she was in the back garden, all the male guests passed by, but she didn't seem to see the third prince Qin Sheng'an.

"He didn't come. There will be Autumn Palace this year. The Emperor asked him to take full responsibility for this matter and ensure that Autumn Palace goes smoothly." Su Rumeng said.

Every three years in autumn, intellectuals from all over the world gathered to select talents. The emperor asked Qin Sheng'an to take charge of this matter. Firstly, he valued it, and secondly, he wanted him to attract talents and lay the foundation for his future.

But Qin Sheng'an may not be able to handle this matter well. He doesn't have the ability.

"He goes out early and comes back late every day. He seems to be really attentive. I feel happy and free."

Liu Yunxiang patted Su Rumeng's hand and said, "Sister Su, I know you are suffering, but you have to endure it. You can always get through it."

Su Rumeng held Liu Yunxiang with her backhand, "For Yu'er, I can only grit my teeth and endure it, but sister, if one day I can't endure it, you have to help me take care of Yu'er."

"You have to grit your teeth, Yu'er can't live without a mother."

Su Rumeng's eyes turned red. She tilted her head and wiped it with a handkerchief. She turned around and smiled, "I can only complain to you."

"I know Sister Su's suffering."

Su Rumeng left first. Liu Yunxiang was waiting for Yan Mu at the door, but he came out after a while. Later, Xue Changfeng was entangled by the fourth prince Qin Shengrui. Qin Shengrui kept talking, and Xue Changfeng looked like he was worse off than dead.

"Your Highness, I really have something to do and I can't go play polo with you."

Qin Shengrui put his arm around Xue Changfeng's shoulders, "But we are missing you."

"Are you looking for someone else?"

"Not everyone can like us."

"I...my mother just passed away, do you think I'm in the mood?"

Qin Shengrui slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot."

Xue Changfeng rolled his eyes and said, "I wish you all a good time."

"No, I'll treat you to a drink tonight."

"My mother just passed away..."

"I'll go to your house to drink!"

At this time, Xue Changfeng couldn't refuse, but he probably really didn't want to drink alone with the fourth prince. He looked around and saw only Yan Mu.

"Your Highness Seventh, can we come together tonight?" Xue Changfeng looked at Yan Mu for help.

Yan Mu hurriedly waved his hand, "I will never dare to drink your wine again."

"Hey, you're still in high spirits, let me tell you..."

"The princess is waiting, I'll leave first!"

Xue Changfeng didn't give up and shouted after Yan Mu, but Qin Shengrui held him back.

"Not everyone is worthy of drinking with His Highness!"

"Your Majesty Seventh Prince..."

"What the hell!"

Yan Mu heard it, but ignored it. Not everyone deserved the look he gave him.

Liu Yunxiang was pulled into the carriage by Yan Mu. Through the curtain, he saw Xue Changfeng being held by Qin Shengrui's neck and being pinched away like a chicken.

"The fourth prince and Mr. Xue seem to have a very good relationship."

"Xue Changfeng just said that he and the fourth child have been reading companions since they were young."

"The fourth prince eats, drinks and has fun. It's rare that Mr. Xue has not contracted this habit."

"It can be regarded as a white lotus that emerges from the mud but remains unstained."

"what?"

"He said it himself."

Speaking of this, Yan Mu couldn't help but laugh.

In the west courtyard of Wuchang Marquis Mansion, Xue Changfeng, urged by Qin Shengrui, could only pick up the bowl of wine in front of him and drink it all in one gulp. He and Yan Mu drank the same wine a few days ago, but why did they drink it today?

"Isn't that right? Of course you have to drink from a big bowl and drink it all in one gulp. This is a real man! Where did I tell you? Oh, by the way, Lao Kang's concubine is so attractive. I I begged him, but he still refused! What kind of friendship do we have? He dared to offend me for a woman. When you see him in the future, don’t give him a good look! "

Qin Shengrui threw a peanut into his mouth as he spoke, "That little lady is so suitable to my liking. I'll get it sooner or later."

Xue Changfeng couldn't help but want to say something fair, but after thinking about it, he endured it.

Qin Shengrui is a mad dog who bites anyone he catches. Kang Zijian is not a good guy either. There is no need for him to cause trouble for him.

"Old Xue, do you think this old Kang is hateful?"

Xue Changfeng didn't want to say anything against his will, so he poured a bowl of wine for Qin Shengrui and said, "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, I propose a toast to you."

Qin Shengrui picked up the wine bowl and said, "We have decided on playing polo the day after tomorrow."

Xue Changfeng said helplessly: "Okay, it's settled."

Although Qin Shengrui called them brothers, he always liked to use his status to pressure others, so he had to agree even if he didn't agree.

The two of them drank a few bowls and became a little tipsy.

At this time Jiang Yunying came and brought him hangover soup.

"Cousin, Your Royal Highness, it's getting late. You guys can have a rest after drinking the hangover soup."

Xue Changfeng nodded, "My cousin is still virtuous. That bastard Yan Mu also said... ahem, anyway, my cousin knows how good she is."

As he spoke, he stood up and swayed.

"Cousin, you are drunk."

Xue Changfeng waved his hand, "It's not that bad yet. Cousin, you go to rest first while I go to the toilet."

Xue Changfeng was a little anxious, so he told Jiang Yunying and ran out quickly.

Jiang Yunying looked at His Royal Highness sitting on the other side. It was obvious that he was also a little drunk, with his head lowered and feeling confused.

She looked at him quietly, her eyes getting darker and darker, as she thought of something, a hint of sternness appeared in her expression.

"When is it?" Qin Shengrui asked.

Jiang Yunying quickly calmed down her expression and said softly: "It's Haishi."

"It's time to go home."

"Your Highness, please drink the hangover soup first. I made it myself."

Qin Shengrui looked up and saw Jiang Yunying, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, "Who are you?"

"Xue Changfeng is my cousin."

"Oh, it turns out you are Lao Xue's beautiful cousin. I came to the Hou Mansion several times and wanted Lao Xue to take me to meet you. He refused again and again and really didn't give me face."

Jiang Yunying curved her eyebrows and smiled, as bright as a peach blossom, "How beautiful she is, like a fairy, your highness is so complimentary."

This smile captured Qin Shengrui's soul, "Old Kang's concubine is not one-tenth as good as yours."

"Your Highness, please drink this bowl of hangover soup first to save yourself a headache later."

Jiang Yunying picked it up and wanted to give it to Qin Shengrui, but Qin Shengrui didn't take it. He stared at Jiang Yunying and said jokingly: "I drank too much and my hands are weak. Feed me."

"Your Highness, this is not good." Jiang Yun looked like he had been bullied, his eyes were filled with mist, but he looked even more charming.

Qin Shengrui couldn't help but grabbed Jiang Yunying's hand and said, "Be good, feed me."

Jiang Yunying twitched her hand but did not pull it out. She pretended to be angry and glared at Qin Ruirui, then shyly fed the soup into his mouth.

Qin Shengrui only drank half of the drink, pretended to be dizzy, and asked Jiang Yunying to send him to his room to rest.

Jiang Yunying looked at Qin Shengrui's ugly appearance with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, then helped him up and headed towards the flower hall next door.

Liu Yunxiang only found out after a few days, when everyone knew about it.

Qin Shengrui got drunk and insulted Jiang Yunying, and Xue Changfeng punched Qin Shengrui in anger. Later, the Marquis of Wuchang came forward. He went into the palace to discuss with the emperor. Taking into account the face of the Marquis of Wuchang, the emperor decreed that Jiang Yunying be given to Qin Shengrui as a concubine.

Jiang Yunying was from a low background, so she took the position of concubine only because of the Wuchang Houfu's decision.

After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang could only sigh that Jiang Yunying was confused. Although Qin Shengrui was the fourth prince, he was by no means a good man.

There was nothing going on in the yamen these days, and Yan Mu was very leisurely.

"How is the progress of the case of the maid's body dismemberment in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?"

Yan Mu shrugged, "The case has been closed."

"what?"

"I captured a bandit nearby and tortured him to confess, and he confessed."

"Is this the case closed?"

"Ah."

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Did Qin Feishi miscalculate?"

"There is one more thing."

"what?"

"The sixth girl from Dingyuan Hou Mansion is missing."
