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

When Yan Mu moved the red coral back, Liu Yunxiang was reading a letter from Mr. Pei Xiaohou in the room.

He said in the letter that in the coming spring, he would go through West Vietnam, across a large grassland, to countries further west. He would build a trade corridor that would connect the east and west continents.

This idea is very risky, because they know very little about those countries, and there are many rumors that the people there are uncivilized, very ferocious, and even eat human flesh.

No one crosses that grassland, as if it is the road to hell.

But Pei Rong was well-informed, and he dared to go to the west to do business. Although the risk was high, he was somewhat sure. In fact, he succeeded. He really created a trade corridor. Since then, trade from east to west, north and south has been smooth, and he also quickly accumulated wealth and became the richest man on the continent.

There is nothing wrong with following the giant.

In the letter, Pei Rong asked her for [-] pieces of silk and satin made in Jiangnan. She immediately replied and said that the two of them could do this business together. He would take risks in the front, and she would raise resources for him in the rear, so as to save him from worries.

At this time, Pei Rong was enthusiastic, but he also had concerns. With her financial and material support, he would definitely agree to share the risks.

Anyway, they have always been happy to work together.

Liu Yunxiang wrote the letter and gave it to the housekeeper, asking him to deliver it to Zhang Qi. "Winter is here. It gets cold early in Beijin. It is estimated that the road has been blocked by heavy snow. The caravan will have to wait until the next spring before heading north. Can you please Zhang Qi specially sent a person to deliver this letter to Beijin and deliver it to Mr. Pei Xiaohou."

When the housekeeper was about to leave, Liu Yunxiang called out to him again: "Ask Zhang Qi to make arrangements for a visit to the house later."

"Yes."

After doing this, Jinyan brought a cup of tea.

"Girl, His Highness is here."

Liu Yunxiang listened to the chirping of the two children outside, and Liansheng kept shouting "Daddy". It seemed that he was playing with the two children.

"His Highness also sent you a large red coral, which looks very rare." Jin Yan said with a smile.

"Red Coral?"

"It's said to be a reward from the palace."

Liu Yunxiang's mind turned around and he probably guessed why the emperor rewarded this thing. She stretched her waist, then got off the Arhat bed and walked outside the house.

The red coral was placed on the stone table in the courtyard. The two children played around the red coral, not touching it out of curiosity.

Yan Mu leaned against the crabapple tree next to him. The leaves of the crabapple turned yellow, and instead of falling off, they fell on his head and shoulders, tracing the side of his beautiful and flawless face.

It was afternoon and the sun was warm. He looked at the children with a smile in his always cold eyes, but when he glanced at her, the smile immediately stopped and he looked away with a snort.

Liu Yunxiang thought about it later, maybe she had talked about it that day, and they both had knots in their hearts and should have a good talk, but when she tried to communicate, he didn't give her a chance.

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, walked towards Yan Mu, and said with a smile: "This red coral is so beautiful."

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "Don't be so sentimental, I didn't give it to you."

"Oh?"

"It's for the two kids to play with."

Liu Yunxiang laughed, "Okay, but it's a gift from the emperor after all, so it can't be damaged..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a snap, and the sound of the two children playing suddenly stopped with this sound. Liu Yunxiang looked over quickly and saw that the red coral fell to the ground and broke into several petals.

The two children were so frightened that they rushed over and hugged each other.

"Did you get hurt?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

The two children were not hurt. They just looked at the red coral on the ground and knew they were in trouble.

"Mom, I pushed you accidentally." Xingyi was so frightened that he almost cried.

Yan'er also hurriedly told Yan Mu, "I was also careless."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Mom, I know you guys were careless. It's okay."

Yan Mu also said: "It was originally meant for you to play with. If it breaks, it will break."

The two coaxed the two children, and then asked Zijin to take them to the garden to play.

Looking at the red coral on the ground, Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue. Such a rare treasure is indeed a pity.

"Girl, this is a gift from the emperor, I'm afraid..." Jin Yan was a little worried.

"If we don't tell, no one will know. Let's put it away first."

"Then slave, try to use glue to see if it can stick well."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, it must be sticky, but the emperor has already rewarded them, so naturally they will not take it back and put it in the warehouse. After a long time, no one will mention it, so they will just dispose of it.

She thought so, but she didn't expect that in the evening, the eldest princess' mansion would send a greeting card, saying that she would bring several ladies to see the brilliance of this red coral tomorrow.

Liu Yunxiang frowned when he saw the invitation.

"Girl, I tried it this afternoon, but it couldn't stick to me at all. When they come and take a look, the secret will definitely be exposed. I heard that destroying the things given by the emperor will offend Long Yan, what should I do?"

Jinyan was so anxious that he had to make another pot of paste, and it had to be glued on no matter what.

"There's no rush." ​​Liu Yunxiang said.

"Why are you not in a hurry? They will be here tomorrow!"

"Compared with this, there is another matter that should be dealt with earlier."

Jinyan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Call the butler."

Jinyan was confused, but he still quickly called the housekeeper.

"The red coral was broken today, and tomorrow the eldest princess and the others will come to see it. This incident cannot be a coincidence. Butler, you should go and find out who leaked this matter now."

The housekeeper's face turned solemn, "What do you mean, your Majesty, someone has planted an spy in our house?"

"Ah."

The housekeeper nodded hurriedly, "We only have one afternoon to check who has been out."

After saying that, the housekeeper hurried out.

Only then did Jin Yan understand what his girl meant, "Did the eldest princess arrange this spy?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Not necessarily, but let's see who will come with us tomorrow."

The eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister, and with the power of the general, her honor will continue no matter who succeeds to the throne, so there is no need for her to target Zhenbei Palace or get on anyone's boat.

So this eyeliner was probably not arranged by her.

"Then what should we do tomorrow?"

"You ask Zijin to go to Zhang Qi and ask him to find a red coral from the jewelry store. They have never seen that red coral and they can't tell the real one from the fake one."

"we can only do this."

Fortunately, the jewelry store is very large and has all kinds of treasures. It is not difficult to find a good-quality red coral.

About an hour later, the housekeeper came back and said, "Princess, we caught the spy, a handyman from the outer courtyard."

"Who ordered him?"

"He said she was... the eldest princess."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Eldest Princess?"

"He was found by someone from the eldest princess's house and asked him to monitor every move in our house. One piece of information would be exchanged for 100 taels of silver."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, which was far beyond her expectation.

But there is really no need for the eldest princess. Does she have any deep grudge against Yan Mu?

"Girl, since the eldest princess already knows that the coral is broken, she will definitely hold on to this matter tomorrow."

It's easy for others to say that as long as the princess insists that it is true, but the eldest princess says it is false, there must be a way to prove it is false, so what will happen then.
