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

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou snorted coldly, obviously she thought so.

Liu Yunxiang stamped his feet, "It's unfair. I have no grudge against Madam Hou. Why would I spread such dirty words? Besides, Madam, you said it was me who spread the word. Do you have any evidence?"

"My daughter-in-law never left the house at Zhuangzi, and I only saw you during this period. You even took the doctor to see my daughter-in-law. When you came out, you two secretly said that my daughter-in-law was pregnant. Little did you know that she was being tricked by my husband. People heard it. Tell me, if you didn’t spread this curse word to who?” the old lady pointed at Liu Yunxiang’s nose and asked.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "That day I went to visit Mrs. Hou and saw that she was very ill. Because I knew a doctor with excellent medical skills, I was kind-hearted and took her to see Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou didn't let her see her at all. As for the pregnancy, your servants must have heard it wrong. Anyway, I didn’t spread it to the outside world. As for why there are such rumors, the old lady might as well ask the servants at Zhuangzi."

"Stop pushing away, it's clearly you!"

"The old lady thinks it's me, so it's useless what I say."

"Ms. Liu, it's not unreasonable for the old lady to doubt you." The eldest princess looked at Liu Yunxiang with cold eyes, "The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has been a tassel for many generations. The late marquis dedicated himself to great honor. The old lady is young and widowed, and has high moral and prestige. The Marquis sacrificed his life for the country, leaving the old and the young behind. The Emperor is considerate of the Marquis's family and often asks me to take care of them. As a princess, what you have done is really too much."

Liu Yunxiang was helpless, "I can only cry out that I was wronged."

"I know what your character is, and this injustice is really not worth it."

"No one needs to know what my character is, but they assume it's me without evidence. How is this different from the person who poured dirty water on Mrs. Hou?"

The eldest princess frowned, "Then you can prove your innocence?"

"I need to prove my innocence. I should let Mrs. Hou prove her innocence."

"You still said it wasn't you..."

"Don't be anxious, you two. What I mean is that the rumor has been spread. It is useless to find out who spread it now. Why not, in the name of treating Mrs. Hou, invite a few more doctors from the city to treat her. In this way , the rumors collapsed on their own.”

Madam Mo, this is indeed a good idea.

"This matter is easy to handle, but if you insult my daughter-in-law, it is equivalent to insulting my Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. How to settle the score?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I can't explain it clearly. Just do whatever the old lady says."

"Okay, I want you to slap your mouth under the chastity arch given by the emperor outside my palace."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the aggressive look on the woman's face, obviously trying to embarrass her through this matter. She, a princess, slapped herself in the face in front of a large public, under the chastity memorial arch. This would be as unpleasant as it sounds.

I think many people would dig up her past affairs and call her a slut, scolding her for being with Yan Mu. This was retribution, so they slapped themselves under the chastity arch.

"Old madam, what good will it do to you if I lose my dignity?" she asked funnyly.

The old lady of Dingyuan Hou snorted, "I don't want any benefits, I just want the women of my Da Rong to be ashamed of you!"

Liu Yunxiang's face darkened. To be honest, Mrs. Dingyuanhou had repeatedly targeted her, but she had no grudge against her. But now that she is bullying her so much, don't blame her for being rude.

"What if the rumors are true?" Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes.

"impossible!"

"If it's true, then the old lady is not strict in running the family, how should she punish herself?"

The eldest princess frowned, "Ms. Liu, don't go too far!"

"She came to my door and forced me like this. Why, I can only be beaten and can't fight back?"

"Mrs. Hou is gentle and courteous, and everyone admires her virtues. The rumors cannot be true at all."

"Then Princess and Old Madam, what are you afraid of?"

Madam Dingyuan Hou turned blue with anger, "If the rumors are true, I can slap myself just like you, right under the chastity arch. Is that okay?"

Liu Yunxiang shrugged, "Okay, this is fair."

The eldest princess glared at Liu Yunxiang, "You will lose the royal family's face. Before that, I will go into the palace and ask the emperor to issue an order for the seventh child to divorce you!"

"It would be embarrassing for the eldest princess. You should wait until the doctor shows Madam Hou before you enter the palace."

The eldest princess snorted coldly, "Okay, I'll make you convinced."

After the eldest princess finished speaking, she stood up and walked out with Mrs. Dingyuan Hou.

"Old madam, I actually thought you came to the house today because of the disappearance of the sixth girl. After all, compared to these rumors, your daughter's life is the most important, right?" Liu Yunxiang said.

The old lady looked solemn and said: "My daughter's life is important, but the reputation of my Marquis Mansion is even more important."

"Then what if you have to choose between the reputation of your palace and the life of your daughter?"

The old lady frowned, "What do you mean?"

"If it were me, my reputation wouldn't be as good as my daughter's."

"That's because you are a shameless person, and you let me choose. My Elector's Office has a century-old reputation. People live for face, not for a breath!" The old lady said loudly.

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "I really feel sad for Miss Six."

"That's not necessary, my daughter can understand my painstaking efforts!"

After the two left, Liu Yunxiang asked Jin Yan to follow him and take a look. After a while, Jin Yan came back and said that the eldest princess and the old lady had brought several doctors out of the city to see Mrs. Hou.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the rain outside and sighed, "The rain hasn't stopped, maybe it's leaking."

Here, regardless of the heavy rain, the eldest princess and the old lady led several doctors and several carriages in front and back, heading towards Zhuangzi.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou felt sorry for her daughter-in-law. Instead of letting her servants call her, she took the eldest princess and the doctors directly to her courtyard. When they reached the door of the main room, the grandmother next to the eldest lady stopped her.

"Ouch, old lady, why are you here?"

"Aunt An, how is Wenlan's health lately?" the old lady asked.

"It's not good, so I haven't returned home to pay you a greeting these days. Madam is also asleep now. Madam, do you think you should come back another day or wait until Madam is better to see you?" Grandma An said in a panic.

"Hey, since Lord Marquis went there, Wenlan cried all day and all night, her body was broken from crying. I felt really sorry for her, so I let her live in Zhuangzi, so as not to see things and miss people. No matter what, she still can't get over this hurdle. Son." The old lady's eyes turned red as she spoke, "It was also difficult for me when I was young, and we both had the same fate."

The eldest princess was advising the old lady, "Mrs. Hou is too sad. She is afraid that her illness will become worse and worse. It is better to nurse her back to health as soon as possible."

"Yes, she still has two sons, and there is still hope for her life." The old lady wiped away her tears and said to Aunt An: "We just happened to bring some doctors here and let them check on Wenlan. .”

Upon hearing this, Grandma An looked at the doctors behind her, her face turned pale, "Absolutely not, madam... madam needs to rest... no... you can't see the doctor!"

The old lady frowned and said, "What do you mean? Let the doctor take a look and prescribe the right medicine so that your body can recover. If you delay like this, the disease will only get worse."

The old lady walked in as she spoke, and the doctors followed her.

Nanny An was so frightened that she hurried to stop her, "Old madam, madam is still asleep..."

"After the doctor has finished looking at her, it will be the same if she sleeps again."

"Old lady!"

"Okay, you old guy is so confused, why do you keep dragging me with you!"

Aunt Liu who was beside the old lady saw that Nanny An was still trying to stop her, so she stepped forward to block her, "Nanny An, the old lady also has other purposes for this trip, so don't make trouble."

"no no……"

Grandma An couldn't stop her and could only watch the old lady and her party enter the house.
