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

After Liu Yunxiang and Qu Moran left, Marquis Jing'an's face darkened, he turned around and slapped Xie Wenqing in the face. This palm was so powerful that Xie Wenqing staggered back a few steps and bumped into the corner of the table.

She covered her face in pain, and seeing the anger on Marquis Jing'an's face, she knelt down on the ground.

"Grandfather, Han threatened me. I am a concubine and have no one to rely on. I...I can't help it!" Xie Wenqing cried as she spoke, as if she had been wronged a lot.

Marquis Jing'an's eyes were as sharp as ice blades, and he kicked him again, causing Xie Wenqing to vomit a large mouthful of blood.

"My Xie family was once an aristocratic family with a strict upbringing. How could I have become a scum like you! For your own selfishness, you actually pushed your own sister into the pit of fire. Even if I kill you today, then Han Wei will not dare to say anything even if he is a guilty conscience! "

Upon hearing this, Xie Wenqing was really scared. She kowtowed several times and said, "Grandpa, please forgive me. In fact, I...actually, I wholeheartedly care for my sister. The third son of Duke Yang's house, in terms of family background and career, With his official career and appearance, he has fallen in love with Xiao Wu and asked Xiao Wu to marry him. Even if she is a concubine, it is a good marriage! "

"Then... then Duke Yang's Mansion sent me back and said that he wanted to marry Xiao Wu. You didn't say anything. You were satisfied with the marriage when you woke up..."

After Xie Wenqing finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Marquis Jing'an. She just shrank back for fear of being beaten again.

Marquis Jing'an clasped his hands behind his back and stared deeply for a long time. Then he turned to look at Xiao Wu who was lying on the bed. He sighed again and softened his attitude: "Xiao Wu, grandpa knows that you have been wronged. For the sake of the overall situation, you did not put it aside." Tell Mrs. Liu what happened to you."

Xiao Wu turned his head away, tears streaming down his side: "Grandpa, does he know what that beast did to me?"

Marquis Jing'an gritted his teeth: "If it had been in the past, when my grandfather still held military power, when he was Marquis of Jing'an, he would never have spared that beast lightly, but now... now that my grandfather's future is in his hands, he has to... not I won’t let you be wronged.”

Xiao Wu supported her arms and struggled to sit up. The collar of her jacket was slightly spread out, and a trace of blood was looming. When the master checked her leg injury just now, she could actually see the whip marks on her thighs just by rubbing it up again. hurt.

She looked at Xie Wenqing, who was kneeling below, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How can I not forgive you? Why do you want to harm me like this?"

Xie Wenqing was afraid of Marquis Jing'an, but she was really not afraid of Xie Wenxiang. She replied with contempt: "Sister, I misunderstood me. I am doing it for your own good."

"Bah! I was hurt like this by you, and you still have the nerve to say it's for my own good! If you think it's good, why don't you surrender yourself to that beast!"

"That Third Young Master is much better than Han Wei. My life is only worse than yours."

"You did that willingly, but I was deceived by you!"

Xie Wenqing raised her head, eyes full of hatred, "If I had other options, how could I volunteer to be a concubine to a man who is old enough to be a father? Every time I face him, I feel disgusted!"

Xiao Wu clenched his fists, "I, I once truly regarded you as my sister!"

Xie Wenqing sneered coldly, "Compared to Liu Yunxiang, my fourth sister is nothing in your heart."

"She is really kind to me, what about you?"

"Me, I will advise my sister to marry that third young master. The Xie family has raised you so well, so you should consider it as repaying the kindness of the Xie family."

Xiao Wu closed his eyes and looked at Marquis Jing'an again. He didn't speak, obviously he agreed with Xie Wenqing.

"Okay, I can marry, but I want my grandfather to promise me something."

Marquis Jingan took a deep breath and said, "Say."

Xiao Wu looked at Xie Wenqing, "I want you to kill her!"

When Xie Wenqing heard this, she was surprised at first, and then laughed, "Xiao Wu, why don't you understand my sister's hard work, but forget it if you don't understand, you don't think that my grandfather will really kill me, haha , I am the legitimate daughter of my second wife, what are you, you are just a despicable concubine!"

Xiao Wu didn't speak, just looked at her contemptuously.

Xie Wenqing smiled and stopped laughing, "Grandpa will not kill me, stop being so delusional!"

"Grandpa, she shouldn't be of any value to you, right?" Xiao Wu said coldly.

Xie Wenqing stopped laughing at these words. She looked at Marquis Jing'an and said, "Grandpa, listen to what Xiao Wu said. She actually wants you to kill me. I am your granddaughter!"

Marquis Jing'an narrowed his eyes, "We, the Xie family, cannot afford to keep such people in harm's way."

"grandfather!"

"But since you have married into the Marquis Dingyuan's house, I shouldn't take action."

Xie Wenqing shook her head, "Grandpa, you...what do you mean?"

"Dingyuanhou's Mansion attaches great importance to dignity. Mrs. Dingyuanhou will not keep you here even if she wants to come."

"No! Grandpa, please don't do this!"

"Someone, tie her up and I'll take her back myself!"

The next day, the news of Xie Wenqing's sudden death due to illness in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion reached Liu Yunxiang's ears, and she confirmed it three times. I met Mingming at the Jingan Marquis Mansion last night. He was obviously in good spirits and didn't look sick at all. Why did he suddenly die of illness?

Because she was a concubine, the Dingyuan Hou Mansion did not hold any big events, and the funeral was held at noon. When Liu Yunxiang got the news, the bodies were buried in the grave.

Liu Yunxiang was worried about Xiao Wu and went to visit the Marquis of Jing'an. The girl was in good spirits, but she was a little clingy and kept leaning into her arms.

"Sanniang, it would be great if I had another life. I would no longer be the girl of the Marquis of Jing'an. I would be your daughter, okay?"

Liu Yunxiang rubbed Xiaowu's head, "You won't have to wait for a while, you will be Sanniang's daughter."

Xiaowu chuckled, "But Sanniang is only a few years older than me."

Liu Yunxiang observed Xiao Wu's expression and saw that she was smiling, as if there was nothing wrong with her.

"If something really happens, you must tell Sanniang. Don't forget, Sanniang is the Princess of Zhenbei, and she will definitely be able to help you."

"I've grown up and I can handle things on my own."

"You are young.

"It's just Sanniang and Master who think I'm still young."

Liu Yunxiang was still worried, "Your master is talking about you every day, so you should go back to the medicine hall."

"In a few days, I will stay with my grandfather at home."

Seeing that Xiao Wu was so sensible and well-behaved, Liu Yunxiang said nothing, "Okay, but remember, you must tell Sanniang when something happens."

Xiao Wu smiled, "I know."

Liu Yunxiang came out of Jingan Hou Mansion and went to Lingyun Grain Store first. The autumn harvest in the north of the town has ended. Zhang Qi said that this year's harvest was good.

"You first prepare [-] shi to give to the Zhenbei Army. They have [-] troops stationed in Nanzhou. They are afraid that they will not be able to return before winter, and the court will definitely deduct their food and salary. These [-] shi should be supplemented."

Zhang Qi nodded, "I'll make arrangements right away."

"Also, I wrote to Mr. Pei Xiaohou before, asking him to help prepare [-] cotton-padded clothes. He has already prepared them. This time when delivering goods to Beijin, please arrange more manpower to bring these [-] cotton-padded clothes back and put them away. Just go to Yangui City and hand it over to General Wei."

Zhang Qi looked confused, "But General Wei said they are not short of cotton-padded clothes."

"Let him keep it, he'll need it this winter."

Zhang Qi was puzzled, but still agreed.

Coming out of Lingyun Food Store, Liu Yunxiang happened to see the third lady of the Duke Yang's Mansion, Mrs. Cheng. Her thoughts changed and she walked towards Mrs. Cheng.
