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

The next day, Liu Yunxiang heard the noise and opened his eyes and saw Yan Mu getting dressed.

"Why don't you get more sleep?"

She worked hard until dawn last night. When she returned to the house, she told him about the pregnancy. He was so excited that he didn't sleep for a long time. When he got up now, he probably didn't even sleep.

Yan Mu fastened his belt, walked to the bed, covered her with a quilt, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"You can sleep a little longer while Hongxuan and the others go to Qixian County."

"Qixian?"

"I heard that this ancient county magistrate has a close relationship with Yang He. Maybe he can get some unexpected gains there."

Deep friendship?

Liu Yunxiang yawned, "Mrs. Gu loved Yang He, but Yang He didn't love her, and even acted as a matchmaker to betroth her to Magistrate Gu. This kind of friendship is indeed quite deep."

Yan Mu was speechless for a while, "Is this Yang He really a good person?"

"That's what everyone else says anyway."

After Yan Mu left, Liu Yunxiang fell asleep again. She didn't know how long she slept. When she was in a daze, Zijin came over and called her.

Liu Yunxiang opened his eyes and asked Zijin what was going on.

"Girl, Qu Xing passed away."

Liu Yunxiang was startled for a moment, then let out a long sigh, "Take Feng Zheng over first. He is familiar with Yanzhou. Let him help with the funeral arrangements."

With that said, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to help her stand up, "I'll be there soon after I've freshened up."

"Yes."

Zijin went first, and Liu Yunxiang changed into plain clothes, washed briefly, and then went out with two guards. When she arrived at Qu Xing's house, a white silk ribbon was hung at the door. When she walked into the courtyard and saw Li Zhu, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He was hanging Bai Ling when Qu Moran came out and helped him hold the stool.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and walked in. Seeing her coming, Li Zhu was obviously a little uncomfortable.

Liu Yunxiang only glanced at him, then ignored him and looked at Qu Moran, "Sister Qu."

She stepped forward and held Qu Moran's hand, "You took him home and let him return to his roots without any regrets, so don't be sad for him."

Qu Moran's eyes were still red, "Master is gone, my uncles and aunts are all gone, and only Qu Xing is left to keep me company. After so many years of ups and downs, now he is gone too."

"As you get older, you have to leave."

"He got tired of following me."

"He treats you as a family member. He doesn't feel burdened, but is very happy."

Qu Moran sighed and nodded, "Yes, I also treat him as a relative."

The main room was decorated as a mourning hall. Feng Zheng asked the coffin shop's clerk to put the coffin in the room, and asked them to help put Qu Xing's shroud on and then put it in the coffin.

Therefore, summer was approaching and the body could not be kept for too long. In addition, Qu Xing had no relatives in Yanzhou and no one came to express condolences, so he decided to bury it that afternoon.

Qu Yi cried the most, and Li Zhu knelt with him in front of the soul, wiping his head from time to time. The child gradually accepted it and stopped crying.

Feng Zheng was busy, and after taking care of things at home, he invited people to visit the grave. Because the boundaries of the cemetery next to him were not clear, there was a dispute. After some hard talk, both parties gave in, and the grave was dug up.

Without Feng Zheng, Qu Moran and the others would really be in a hurry.

When he was buried in the afternoon, even though the neighbors didn't know him, they still went out to see him off, so as not to leave Qu Xing in a deserted state.

After Quxing was buried, everyone walked back from the cemetery.

Liu Yunxiang saw that Li Zhu was at the back, so he deliberately slowed down and waited for him to come to him.

"You were the man in black who tried to kill me in the alley last night, right?"

Not asking him, but telling him that she already knew it was him.

Li Zhu didn't expect Liu Yunxiang to say it bluntly. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "That night outside the city, I heard a noise and chased him out. I didn't want to get lost in the mountains. I walked around for several days before I came out. What did the princess say? ,I do not understand."

"So that night outside the city, the man in black was also you."

"Princess is joking."

"Also in Shengjing, you also dressed up as a man in black and tried to kill me, but unfortunately you failed."

Li Zhu said calmly: "I am just an ordinary guy who cannot be more ordinary. The princess thinks too much."

"Do you know why I didn't tell Sister Qu?"

"..."

"Because I believe you won't hurt her." Liu Yunxiang looked at Li Zhu, "right?"

Li Zhu was silent for a moment and said: "I don't understand what the princess means, but I will definitely not hurt my master. It is not a pity for anyone in this world to die. I only care about my master."

"Li Zhu, I didn't want to hurt Sister Qu, so I didn't expose you or let anyone catch you. And I gave you one last chance. I hope you can pull back from the cliff."

"It doesn't matter who is standing on the edge of the cliff."

Liu Yunxiang pointed at Qu Moran with his chin, "What I'm talking about is between you and Qu Moran. She has been deceived and hurt. If she learns that you also deceived her and used her, she will never forgive you."

After speaking, Liu Yunxiang walked forward quickly.

Qu Moran comforted Qu Yi and turned back to look for them. When he saw Liu Yunxiang coming, he asked worriedly: "You and Li Zhu have been talking for so long, but what happened?"

"No, I just told him to take good care of you and Yi'er."

"He was good to us, really good."

Liu Yunxiang held Qu Moran's hand. She relied on Li Zhu. Because of this, she couldn't say it. Once she said it, it would hurt Qu Moran too much.

"By the way, when will you set off back to Shengjing?"

"In three days, we will burn the paper for Qu Xing and then set off back to Shengjing. The eldest princess is alone in the house, and I really don't worry."

"Alright."

"What about you?"

"Yan Mu is also in Yanzhou, so you don't have to worry about me."

After sending Qu Moran and the others home, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and Feng Zheng back to Wanchun Garden. When passing by Luoxia Silk and Satin Village, Liu Yunxiang stopped in front of the door.

The boss of Luoxia Silk and Satin Shop seemed to be having difficulty making an appointment, and Gao Yuanwai still didn't write to her.

"Feng Zheng, do you know the owner of Luoxia Silk and Satin Shop?"

Feng Zheng snorted, "There is no one in Yanzhou that I don't know."

"Then can you introduce this boss to me?"

"No."

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Feng Zheng. His refusal was too straightforward.

Feng Zheng shrugged and said: "Luoxia Silk Shop is a female boss. I know her, but I only spoke a few words through a door."

"So mysterious?"

"It's not a mystery, but..." Feng Zheng paused, and then sighed, "There was a fire at Luoxia Silk Village ten years ago. She and her husband had just gotten married at that time, and both of them were trapped in the fire. inside. When the fire was put out, her husband had been burned to death, and she was burned all over her body, especially her face. It took three months to save her. After that, she put on a hood, and no one saw her true face again. She also She doesn’t like to talk to others, and it is said that she lives alone, and even the maids and servants who serve her are not allowed to go near her courtyard.”

It turns out that it was like this. No wonder Gao Yuanwai was a little embarrassed when she asked him to do so.

Liu Yunxiang raised his head to look at Luoxia Silk and Satin Shop, and happened to see Mrs. Li coming out with two maids. Each of the two maids was holding a piece of cloth.

Someone chased him out, like the steward of the silk shop.

"Oh, madam, you must not do it. These two pieces of Yanjin are said to cost a hundred taels, and you just took them away like this. There is no way to record this account, and I can't explain it to our shopkeeper!"

"You are blind. This is the newly appointed wife of Li Futai. She has taken a liking to your family's cloth, which is your family's blessing. She actually dares to ask for money!" A maid said arrogantly.

"This doesn't make sense!"

"Humph, I have offended Mr. Futai, so you don't want to do this silk shop anymore!"
