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

Because of this sentence, Xue Hefeng immediately shut his mouth.

Liu Yunxiang saw the little girl sitting shivering on the front steps, as if she was stupid, her expression was dull and motionless. She took a deep breath, walked around Xue Hefeng and walked in.

Walking up to the little girl, she bent down and asked gently: "What's your name?"

Seeing that her clothes were intact, Liu Yunxiang felt relieved, but the child was indeed still young, thin and frail, and her clothes were patched. Looking at the house, although it was shabby, it was very clean.

This is a good, diligent boy who works hard to support himself and his father, a gambler.

Perhaps Liu Yunxiang's voice was warm. The little girl looked like an ice sculpture being melted. She slowly raised her head, but her eyes were still dull, "Xiao, Xiaolan."

Liu Yunxiang reached out and patted Xiaolan on the shoulder, "You need help now, sister can help you."

Xiaolan glanced at the door and when she saw Xue Hefeng, she couldn't help but shiver, and then she sobbed and cried, "I'm afraid, I'm so afraid..."

Liu Yunxiang hugged Xiaolan and said, "Tell sister, what just happened?"

"I can not……"

"Don't worry, sister can help you."

Xiaolan cried and hesitated for a while, then pointed at Xue Hefeng and said: "He...he wants to humiliate me..."

As soon as the little girl said this, Xue Changfeng slapped her in the face, "Cousin, you are so fucking inhumane. How old is this little girl that you can do anything to her? Also, it is obvious that she was forced. As a person, Young Master of aristocratic family, official of the imperial court, do you know that if this matter spreads, not only will the Yangguo Duke's palace be damaged, but your reputation will also be ruined, and you will not be able to keep your black hat."

Xue Hefeng shook his head hastily, "No, no, that's not the case. I didn't rape her. I..."

"Then report it to the officials and let them investigate!" Yan Mu shouted.

Xue Hefeng looked at Yan Mu again, and it was clearly the two of them who had beaten him just now, which meant that they had been ambushing here for a long time and knew the whole thing. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, then sighed.

"Your Highness and cousin, you two are also men. You should know about men's things. This is not a big deal, so please don't embarrass me."

"It's not a big deal?" Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth, "You almost ruined a good girl, but you still have the nerve to say it's not a big deal!"

Xue Hefeng pursed his lips and said, "What my cousin said is that I have remembered my lesson and will never do such a thing again in the future. Please show me your kindness."

Xue Changfeng snorted, "I apologize to that girl first."

Xue Hefeng took a deep breath, looked back at the little girl, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Xue Changfeng chuckled, "There is no sincerity at all. It seems that you are not sincerely repentant."

Xue Hefeng was silent for a moment, then struggled to get up, and said sorry to the little girl again.

"I'm sorry, just three words, but I was almost insulted by you!" Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth.

"What does my cousin want from me?"

"Kneel down and apologize!"

"I am the third young master of Duke Yang's mansion. If you want me to kneel down, you..."

"You still have the nerve to mention Duke Yang's Mansion!"

Seeing Xue Changfeng's reluctance, Xue Hefeng gritted his teeth secretly and could only kneel down, turned around and said sorry to the little girl again.

Obviously, saying sorry cannot eliminate the harm to the little girl, but at least it lets her know that if she is wrong, she is wrong, and there is always justice in this world.

Liu Yunxiang patted the little girl's shoulder, then stood up and walked towards Xue Hefeng.

"Mr. Xue, you know my niece Xie Wenqing, right?"

Xue Hefeng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something, and his face darkened again, "I know, we are about to get married."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes, "Why did you marry her?"

"If you like her, marry her."

"You, what did you do to her?"

Xue Hefeng raised his head, "She went up the mountain to collect herbs and sprained her foot. I happened to pass by and rescued her. When I was taking care of her, the two of us fell in love and had a heart-to-heart relationship with each other. She also gave her body to me. Naturally, I have to bear the responsibility. I am responsible, so I proposed marriage to Marquis Jing'an soon after I came down from the mountain. Don't worry, Princess, I will take good care of the fifth girl."

Liu Yunxiang frowned. What he said matched what Xiao Wu told her.

But she still doubted it, but it could only be doubtful.

"You are not a good match for her."

"What do you mean, princess?"

Liu Yunxiang tilted his head and said coldly: "I want you to cancel the engagement."

Xue Hefeng snorted, "Are you kidding me?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "The injury on your body hurts, right?"

Xue Hefeng's expression was tense. She said this with a smile, but it was clearly a threat, and he didn't even dare to say a retort. Hitting the snake seven inches, he was finally caught by them.

Xue Hefeng forced a smile and said, "I still have to give you the princess's face."

"Is it possible to cancel the engagement tomorrow?"

Xue Hefeng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Liu Yunxiang straightened up and nodded with satisfaction.

When leaving, Liu Yunxiang was afraid that Xue Hefeng would come back to retaliate against the little girl, and that her father would harm her again, so he took her away and asked Zijin to make arrangements.

Some of the shops below were also short of manpower, so she was just helping out.

The next day, Jin Yan came back from asking outside and said that Xue Hefeng had gone to Jingan Marquis Mansion to cancel the engagement, and everyone knew about it.

After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang felt relieved.

"Go and prepare some snacks and have them delivered to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion for the fifth girl, and ask her to return to the medicine hall as soon as possible."

"The slave will do it now."

Seeing the snacks she sent, Xiao Wu knew that she had used means to force Xue Hefeng to break off the engagement. She might be angry with her now, but one day, she would know her good intentions.

As soon as Xiao Wu's matter was settled, Butler Xu from the Vice Minister's Mansion came to visit him again.

"Girl, Madam has been sleepless day and night recently. She is really worried about the young master's marriage. Do you think you can do me a favor and go to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to make peace?"

After sending Butler Xu away, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to find Zhang Qi. After a while, Zijin came back with a few unpaid bills.

"Well, Han Wei did owe a lot of debts for eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Brother Qi redeemed these bills with money."

Liu Yunxiang calculated carefully and found that there were 3 taels.

She clicked her tongue and shook her head, "This Han Wei recently got a casual job, with an annual salary of only 500 taels. It will take 30 years without food or water to pay off the debts. He is so brave!"

"The people who are owed debts are all frightened by the power of Dingyuan Houfu, which is why Han Wei owes these debts. Brother Qi also said that this is only a small part of them."

"These aristocratic families are worse than the previous generation. They have begun to be damaged from the inside and will fall sooner or later."

Liu Yunxiang stood up and picked up the bills, "Let's go to Dingyuan Hou Mansion."

With these bills, she wanted to see what Mrs. Dingyuan Hou had to say.
