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

Yang He couldn't delay the case, so Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang went to Luoxia Silk and Satin Manor that day.

The steward led them to the main room in the backyard, asked them to wait, and then sent a servant to bring refreshments.

It was still light outside at this time, but it was dark inside. It turned out that there was a tall locust tree planted in the courtyard, which blocked some of the light, and the villagers on both sides of the main room had used several layers of paper to block out any light, especially Behind the screen on the west side, it was too dark to see anything clearly.

Yan Mu's mouth twitched, "Why do I feel like we've entered a haunted house?"

Liu Yunxiang hissed at him, "Don't talk nonsense."

Yan Mu also shivered, "It's so cold, this room won't..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow appeared behind the screen, soundlessly, as if it was floating over. Yan Mu subconsciously pulled Liu Yunxiang to his side. Looking at the black figure again, she was still standing behind the screen, motionless.

Yan Mu looked down at Liu Yunxiang, who also looked puzzled.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Liu Yunxiang tried to ask: "But Mrs. Li?"

The man who was married to the girl outside the Gao Yuanxiang's family was named Li. Liu Yunxiang thought it was more appropriate to call her that way, but unexpectedly, a voice came from inside, "Li Jing is dead, and Mrs. Li is also dead."

The voice was hoarse, as if his throat was being strangled, and he could only use his breath. Her voice was too soft, so she shouted with all her strength until her voice broke.

Liu Yunxiang guessed that her throat was damaged during the fire, "Then what should I call you?"

"Just call me Boss Gao."

Liu Yunxiang paused and said, "Boss Gao, the Seventh Prince and I are here. As for the reason, I wonder if Gao Yuanwai can tell you clearly?"

After all, she was making false accounts and trying to deceive the court. This was a big deal, so she told Gao Yuanwai that if his sister didn't want to, there was no need to force her.

"Yang He is a good official, it's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that he is in the Da Rong court."

Liu Yunxiangmo said, Yang He is a good official, but Da Rong's court is not a good court.

"We asked Boss Gao for help because we wanted to save Mr. Yang. He was a good official and he should not have died unjustly."

After saying this, it became quiet inside again, and the black shadow stopped there, still motionless. Yan Mu became impatient and wanted to urge her, but Liu Yunxiang held her back.

"Give her a little more time."

Yan Mu's mind changed and he understood the meaning of Liu Yunxiang's words.

After waiting for a while, the black shadow slowly moved, moved to the screen opening, paused for a moment, and then stepped out.

Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu looked over, not expecting to see a face with burned features and a horrifyingly distorted face, especially since the room was very dark and she was looming under the black mist.

Liu Yunxiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat and endured not making a sound. Yan Mu was afraid of scaring her, so he stretched out his long sleeve to block her. Liu Yunxiang quickly pulled it down, took a deep breath, and faced the woman directly.

"Boss Gao... let's sit down and talk."

The woman looked at them deeply and then walked towards the yard. The yard was much brighter, and her face could be seen more clearly. Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath before going out.

"Boss Gao..."

"Do you see clearly?" Gao Ying interrupted Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang forced a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"This face." Gao Ying tilted her head and smiled, but the smile was even weirder.

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips and said, "You can see it very clearly."

"It's ugly, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Are you afraid of it?"

"Not really."

"You pity me?"

"really."

Gao Ying laughed out loud, but there was only a breathy sound. She looked at Yan Mu again and asked with a smile: "Are you His Highness the Seventh Prince?"

Yan Mu frowned, "Yes, why are you so crazy? You scared my wife, I can't spare you!"

Unexpectedly, Yan Mu spoke so bluntly and hurtfully. Gao Ying was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You are the ones begging me, you better not come!"

"If we had known he was a lunatic, we wouldn't have come."

"Who are you calling crazy?"

"you!"

"Me?" Gao Ying was so angry that her breathing quickened and she glared at Yan Mu fiercely, "It's all because of you that I'm like this. Your court is just a bunch of ruffians!"

"We are not from the same group as Li Huai."

"But what's the difference between you?"

"It's different everywhere."

At this point, the words were a bit confusing.

Liu Yunxiang coughed dryly and said, "Boss Gao invited us over, and he is still willing to help us, right?"

Gao Ying was very angry at Yan Mu, so she didn't have a good temper towards Liu Yunxiang. "I thought I could help you, but judging from His Majesty's tone, it seems that I don't need my help."

"He just protects me, don't be angry." Liu Yunxiang said with a compensating smile.

"Protect you closely?" Gao Ying was lost in thought as she muttered these words. There was no hint of joy, anger, sorrow or joy in her face, but Liu Yunxiang just felt that she was a little sad, "Since I married my husband, he loves me so much." Me, I swore to protect me for the rest of my life. The fire suddenly broke out. He was outside, but knowing that I was trapped, he rushed in regardless of the fire wave. When he saw that I was trapped by the falling beams, he fought with all his strength. He tried his best to rescue me. I was unconscious at that time, and I only knew that it was my husband who carried me out. When I woke up again, I could not see my husband. I was anxious to find him, but my brother lied to me and said that he was fine and was now cleaning up the silk shop. They were in such a mess that they had no time to take care of me. In fact, I had a premonition at that time, but I didn’t dare to think about it. It wasn’t until half a month later, when my brother couldn’t hide it anymore, that he told me that my husband had already rescued me. The fever was so bad that he died before making it through the night."

After saying that, Gao Ying stretched out her hand and wiped away some tears.

"I know how painful the burn is. He probably died of pain alive."

Liu Yunxiang gave Gao Ying a handkerchief, "Boss Gao must be living a miserable life. If it weren't for your husband, you wouldn't be able to survive now."

Gao Ying looked at Liu Yunxiang, as if she was the only one who understood her after such a long time, "Yes, every day is torture for me, but I can't kill myself, he will hate me."

"Boss Li probably wants you to be happy more than to live."

"Is there anything else worth being happy about in my life?"

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the days pass slowly, and the years are quiet, so you should be happy about it."

Gao Ying lowered her head and smiled, "You, you say that just because your life is full of hope. That's all, let my brother bring the account books, and I will re-do the accounts for you."

Liu Yunxiang's face was filled with joy, "Thank you, Boss Gao."

"I shocked you." Gao Ying said slightly apologetically.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Actually, I don't understand something."

"You said."

"Boss Gao had decided to help us before we came. Of course I know it was for Mr. Yang Heyang, so why do you still want to see us?"

You don't just want to scare them, right?

Gao Ying then turned to look at Yan Mu, and then pointed at her face, "I want His Highness Seventh Prince to see my face clearly. If one day you ascend the throne and become emperor, please be a wise king and discipline your ministers well." , don’t let the second me appear again.”

Liu Yunxiang was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that Gao Ying wanted Yan Mu to remember this face and engraved it in his mind to always remind him to be a wise monarch.

Yan Mu snorted, "What kind of woman have I never seen before? You don't impress me that much."

"Hey, it seems that there are many women around King Zhenbei."

"Bah, don't talk nonsense. What I mean is that you are not scary, that's all." After saying that, Yan Mu smiled flatteringly at Liu Yunxiang.
