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

Liu Yunxiang and the other three came out of the Imperial College with their children. None of the six of them were in a good mood. It's okay to just drop out of the Imperial College, but children can't stop learning.

Together, the three of them decided to go to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to go to school. There were teachers in the mansion, and Yan Mu would go over and teach them martial arts skills, horseback riding and archery when he was free.

Just as the three of them had finished their calculations, Mrs. Yunhou and Mrs. Xue Er came out.

Mrs. Yunhou is no longer as polite as she pretended to be before. Her face has been dark this morning, especially when she saw Liu Yunxiang, her eyes were filled with anger.

Mrs. Xue Er didn't look good at first, but now she was just proud.

"Some people should better discipline their children. They dare to harm people at a young age. However, if the beam is not straight and the beam is crooked, some of them are broken from the root, and they cannot be taught well."

Mrs. Xiao snorted, "No, your father-in-law's family has already lost its roots!"

"You, how dare you say that again?" Mrs. Xue Er's eyes widened and she was furious, as if Mrs. Xiao dared to say one more thing and she would rush up and tear her face off.

Mrs. Xiao snorted, "There are so many things going on in your house, do you want me to tell you one by one?"

"You, tell me!"

"Oh, aren't you afraid of embarrassment?" Mrs. Xiao nodded. She really wasn't afraid of trouble. She immediately said, "It shouldn't be a secret that your father-in-law cheated on his younger brother and stole his title, right?"

"you you……"

"Also, your second master lost all your dowry by eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling. You failed to commit suicide by hanging yourself. Who knows about the news in the streets?"

Mrs. Xue Er's face turned pale, "Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I...I will cut out your tongue!"

"Ha, you think I'm afraid?" Mrs. Xiao curled her lips, "I haven't said the most exciting thing yet. Your third uncle insulted your niece..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Xue Er yelled.

Mrs. Yun Hou frowned and said, "You have done something wrong, you don't know how to reflect, and you are still bullying people here. It is really too much."

Mrs. Xiao shrugged, "Mrs. Hou, what you said is wrong, she obviously asked me to say it."

"You shrew!"

"What's wrong with me, a shrew? I'm better than some people who like to pretend and act, and think they are actors!"

Mrs. Yunhou's face turned even darker with anger. She flicked her sleeves and walked down angrily. But when she passed Liu Yunxiang, she still couldn't bear it.

"My Marquis came to your house last night, originally to calm down the matter. After all, it was just a quarrel between children, and there was no need to make it too ugly. But we came to your house with a tolerant heart, but you... you used to take down the bad things. The trick has harmed the Marquis and made him lose face. We will not give up on this matter easily, so you'd better go back and persuade His Highness Seventh to come and apologize!"

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "But it was an unintentional mistake on our part."

"You think we're stupid?"

"If this is the case, we might as well open it up and let everyone comment. If it is our fault, we will admit it. At the worst, we will pay you a few more pairs of pants."

"You!" Mrs. Yunhou was so angry that her whole body was shaking, "You wait!"

After saying that, she left with a dark face.

Mrs. Xue Er did not dare to offend Mrs. Xiao again. This woman was not afraid of embarrassment at all, but she couldn't afford it, and the Duke's mansion couldn't even afford it.

After the two men left angrily, Su Rumeng held it in for a long time and finally managed to laugh out loud.

"You two are so good with your mouths, and you work so well together."

Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows at Liu Yunxiang, "Did Marquis Yun and Xue Er come to your door yesterday?"

Liu Yunxiang also raised his eyebrows at Madam Xiao, "What's going on with Xue Hefeng and the Second Madam's niece?"

After first putting the three children in the school and handing them over to the teacher, Liu Yunxiang and the three of them sat in the garden drinking tea and gossiping.

"The second wife's natal family is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. A concubine from the house often comes to my shop to buy fragrant powder. One time when we were chatting, she accidentally let it slip. This Xue Hefeng is a beast and likes fresh little girls. , the niece of the second wife went to visit her aunt and stayed in the house for a while, not wanting to be targeted by this beast. One night, he harmed the girl, and then the girl hanged herself. The minister went to the house to ask for an explanation, then Xue Hefeng instead slandered the girl for crawling into his bed while he was drunk. She was really shameless. The Duke of Yang's mansion also defended this beast. The second lady also begged her mother-in-law to stop making trouble, saying that she would be in the mansion from now on. There’s no way to survive.”

Su Rumeng frowned, "Is this going to end like this?"

Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath, "That's not true. Isn't Xue Hefeng the Minister of Civil Affairs? He appointed an official to the second wife's natal nephew, thus silencing these people."

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "If the Duke of Yang indulges Xue Hefeng in this way, isn't he afraid that the Duke's palace will be implicated by him?"

"Although Xue Hefeng is the third master of the family, he is the only one born to the Duke of Guo and his true legitimate son. Duke Yang values ​​this son, and the title of the Duke of Guo will be passed on to him in the future."

"So that's the case."

"So the eldest and second masters of the house and the female relatives in the family do not dare to offend him too much, so the second lady can only suffer this loss."

"But Xue Hefeng is the legitimate son, so isn't Xue Kong the legitimate grandson? How could he be kicked out of the Duke's mansion? Is it just because the third lady is a criminal? And seeing how the second lady and her son look like, I don't think they are in the mansion on weekdays. Stop bullying this child." Su Rumeng said in confusion.

Mrs. Xiao shook her head, "I don't know about that."

The three children of their family dropped out of school. Whether this is a big deal or not, people in this circle will definitely know it, and they will all agree that the three children of their family have done something wrong, but they refuse to admit it. As parents, not only do they not correct it, but they also Protect the child.

"If nothing else, we have to help the three children get justice." Mrs. Xiao said.

Su Rumeng nodded, "Although the three children didn't say anything, they actually felt very aggrieved."

Liu Yunxiang breathed out, "We still have to let Xue Kong tell the truth, but he is like a little rabbit, trembling when he sees people, and he can't ask anything at all."

At the moment, they could only wait. When Xue Kong was no longer so afraid, maybe he would be willing to tell the truth.

During dinner, Yan Mu had not come back yet, so Liu Yunxiang asked the housekeeper to send someone to the Yamen to take a look.

After waiting for a while, before Yan Mu arrived, Zijin came back. She goes out early and comes back late these days, and Liu Yunxiang hasn't seen her for several days.

"Didn't the girl ask me to keep an eye on that boy? I've been following him lately."

"Follow him?"

"Yes, if I follow him, he won't be able to throw dirt on our door."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Does he know?"

"know."

"I'm very curious about this young man. How old is he? What is his relationship with Yang Xun? Where does he live now? What does he do all day long?"

Zi Jin thought for a while and said, "He is a clerk from Jiang Ji's study. He is about seventeen or eighteen years old. I don't know about the other slaves."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and was about to tell Zijin to stop following him, when the sky in the distance turned red, as if there was a fire somewhere in the east city. It turned out that she didn't care, but Zijin was curious and went out to take a look. He came back not long after and said seriously: "Miss, this is Jiang Ji's study."
