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

Liu Yunxiang was in a daze after hearing this.

The fifth girl, Xie Wenxiang, was born as a concubine to the second wife. She was just eight years old this year. Her aunt fell ill and died shortly after she was born. She was only five years old when something happened in the Hou Mansion. The second lady left her alone and the old lady couldn't take care of her, so Liu Yunxiang took the youngest fifth girl to her hospital to take care of her.

Xiao Wu lived with her for more than a year. The old lady was afraid that she would favor Xiao Wu and ignore the other children, so she let Xiao Wu live in the second room.

Because of this affection, Xiao Wu has always been close to her.

In the last life, Xiaowu accidentally fell into the river and drowned before getting married.

Thinking of Xiao Wu's death, Liu Yunxiang's heart ached.

The fact that Xie Zian was still alive in her last life was first hidden from her by Mrs. Two to 40 taels.

At that time, she no longer cared about the family, and handed over the power of middle-income family to her second daughter-in-law. She noticed that this matter was a bit strange, so she called someone over and made some insinuations. The second daughter-in-law couldn't hold it back, and finally the clues came out.

Later, the third child said that Xiao Wu did not accidentally fall into the water, but the old lady had someone push her down and watched her drown alive.

It turns out that Xiaowu accidentally learned that the third master was still alive and wanted to tell her about it. The old lady refused to let her tell her and she refused to listen, so the old lady took cruel measures.

Therefore, everyone in the Xie family could not forgive her, but Xiaowu was the only one whose heart was towards her.

A few days ago, she was so confused that she didn't know how to face the Xie family.

The child came to greet her several times, but she never saw her.

After washing up, Liu Yunxiang asked Jinyan to call the fifth girl in.

The curtain opened, and a little girl wearing a peach-colored spring shirt and two buns ran in and ran up to her.

"Sanniang."

Other children call her Third Aunt, but this child always likes to call her Sanniang.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the little girl's round face and watery eyes, and she looked so well-behaved and cute. It makes me even more heartbroken when I think about how she died at a young age in her last life.

"Sanniang, Jinyan said you were sick, are you feeling better now?"

Liu Yunxiang rubbed Xiao Wu's face and said gently: "Much better."

"But I think you seem to have lost a lot of weight." Xiao Wu tilted his head and said.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "I really haven't had much appetite in the past two days."

Xiaowu thought of something, asked Liu Yunxiang to wait, and then ran out. After waiting for a while, the child came back, sweating.

Liu Yunxiang asked Jin Yan to wet the handkerchief, and she pulled Xiao Wu to her and wiped her sweat.

"Why are you running?"

Xiao Wu handed a purse to Liu Yunxiang, "I embroidered this purse, and it contains sour plums. Sanniang will eat one when she has no appetite."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the purse, which was embroidered with cloud patterns. Xiao Wu gave it to her in her previous life, and she treasured it all her life.

She really wanted to eat something sour, so she opened her purse, pinched one from inside, stuffed one into Xiao Wu's mouth, and then ate another one herself.

Xiaowu winked sourly, so cute.

Because of the sour plums, Liu Yunxiang ate half a bowl of white porridge.

At this time, Jinyan came over and said that the second lady was here.

Liu Yunxiang could naturally guess what happened.

Letting Xiao Wu go back first, Liu Yunxiang invited the second lady into the west room.

After the incident at the Hou Mansion, the second lady went to the nunnery. She did not return to her home until the incident had passed. But he didn't care about the big or small things in the house and stayed in the small Buddhist hall all day long.

Xie Zian is an old man, and the second master is more than ten years older than him, so the second wife is also much older than her. She was wearing a plain green spring shirt, without any jewelry, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and her face was gentle and calm.

It is true that she devoted herself to worshiping Buddha and did not want to get involved in worldly affairs, but leaving her husband and children behind was probably an escape.

"The old lady sent someone to call me over early in the morning and told me about your second brother." The second lady got straight to the point.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and did not answer.

The second lady sighed, "We all know that the third brother and sister have paid a lot for the Hou Mansion, and we are very grateful to you in our hearts. If there is no other way, we can't take this step. Third brother and sister, you will leave things behind before you finish it halfway. Logically speaking, your second brother’s life is in your hands.”

"What does second sister-in-law want me to do?"

"You understand in your heart."

"I don't understand."

The second lady frowned. In the past, Liu Yunxiang respected her and would not be so messy.

She paused and said: "Then Yan Mu is greedy for your beauty. As long as you continue to serve him, make him happy, and completely resolve the northwest case, your second brother will be released from prison."

Liu Yunxiang took a sip of tea and said, "He likes anything beautiful. I feel that I am not as beautiful as my second sister-in-law."

The second lady's face sank, "What do you mean?"

"Second sister-in-law wants to save your husband, so you should sacrifice yourself and climb into Yan Mu's bed. He should like you very much."

"You!!! How arrogant! You actually let me do such a dirty deed!"

"You think it's dirty, but I don't?" Liu Yunxiang sneered: "Besides, I'm just the second brother's younger brother and sister, and you are his wife!"

"You, you..." The second lady was choked and couldn't say anything, because she had no sense in this matter.

"Second sister-in-law knows the general situation and is sensible. You speak, and I listen carefully."

The second lady was ashamed and annoyed. She stood up and left angrily.

When the second lady walked away, Jinyan clapped her hands.

"It's so refreshing! Madam, you have to be tougher when dealing with such a shameless person."

Liu Yunxiang really felt relieved. She had lived a suffocating life in her previous life, but in this life she was in an uproar.

After a few days of this, someone from Dali Temple suddenly came, saying that they wanted to search for evidence of the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the deposed prince.

The dignified prince's mansion and Dali Temple were searched at will, and no one dared to stop them.

After the people from Dali Temple left, the four children in the second room of the main house all knelt in front of her Yilanxuan.
