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

When I came to the front yard, I saw the door of the palace opened, and soldiers wearing black armor lined up in formation, each holding a spear in their hand, and they looked imposing.

Yan Mu was in front, wearing a black brocade robe, standing in the wind, like a pole of green bamboo, straight but a little thin.

His face was pale and his eyes were dull, as if he was trying to hold on for a breath, but instead of appearing weak, he looked sinister and ruthless.

His eyes were like cold stars, and he glanced at her lightly, then lowered his eyes to play with the imperial edict in his hand, his expression was tired and showed a sense of nonchalance.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and walked towards him step by step.

The old lady and others shrank behind her, and Xue even stumbled, causing several soldiers nearby to burst into laughter.

It's no wonder that these people were so frightened. The main reason was that none of these soldiers had a murderous intent, and there was even blood on their spears and armor.

A few steps away, Liu Yunxiang smelled the faint jasmine fragrance on Yan Mu's body again, so he felt sick and stopped immediately.

Yan Mu raised his eyes and saw the disgust in her expression.

Woman, if she hates you, she will hate you for the rest of her life. If I hate you, I'll be disgusted just by looking at you.

The key is, he doesn't even know why.

"Hey, what do you mean by this big family pushing a woman to accept the order?" He curled his lips and smiled extremely sarcastically.

These people were frightened to begin with, and when they heard this, they all murmured and were speechless as if their mouths were sewn shut.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, "My wife is the third wife of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, and I accept this decree."

Yan Mu sneered, "Woman is arrogant!"

"Master Yan, don't waste your time, it's better to announce the decree quickly."

"Oh, I wasted my time."

Liu Yunxiang lifted up the corners of her skirt and knelt down, "My wife is leading the Marquis of Jing'an to receive the order."

As Liu Yunxiang knelt down, others also knelt down.

Yan Mu snorted coldly, then opened the imperial edict and read it out.

When the announcement was over, Liu Yunxiang straightened up to receive the order.

Yan Mu did not give it to her, but gave it to Xie Zian, the man who should be the leader of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion.

"Mr. Xie, do you hear the decree clearly?" he asked kindly.

Xie Zian nodded frantically, "Listen, listen clearly."

"I have a good relationship with the Hou Mansion, so I kindly mentioned that the emperor asked the families to set up porridge shacks in the city to help the people survive the famine. Each family should do their best, but I am afraid that some people like to make small calculations. , so he said, no matter what, we have more than ten stones of food every day for porridge and steamed buns."

"More than ten stones..."

Let alone ten shi, they have to squeeze one shi of food through their teeth. Besides, who can say when the road will be built and when the food from outside will be able to come in.

"Master Yan... the granary of my Marquis Mansion was burned down by thieves. Look..."

Yan Mu patted the imperial edict in Xie Zian's hand and said, "Whoever fails to put up the porridge shed tomorrow will be disobeying the edict."

Yan Mu's strength was not strong, but Xie Zian fell to his knees on the ground.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Xie Zian. She felt ashamed of his worthless appearance and the name of the third lady.

"Mr. Xie, are you clear this time?" Yan Mu asked with his hands behind his back.

"Clear."

"Then let's be like this. I won't drink the filial tea from your Marquis Mansion anymore. I'm busy with official duties and have a bunch of heads waiting to fall!"

After saying that, he patted the dust on his sleeves, turned around and walked out.

When Yan Mu led the people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing out, everyone in the Hou Mansion collapsed on the ground.

Mrs. Xue touched her neck and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly thought: "If we can't afford the porridge shed tomorrow, then our heads..."

Gotta drop it!

Others were also panicked and helpless. How could they get so much food? It was not something anyone could do.

None of them could do anything, so they turned their attention to Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang turned to Jinyan and asked, "Has Xinruan packed up?"

Jinyan nodded, "Okay."

"Then let's move back to the west courtyard. If anyone takes my land, it's best to vacate it quickly." She left these and went to the west courtyard.

"Look how arrogant she is!" Mrs. Xue gritted her teeth angrily. Even though she said this, she quickly ordered the fourth girl to make room.

The scenery in the west courtyard is still the same, but the crabapple in front of the door is no longer an eyesore. The crown on top has been cut off, and it no longer has the aura of reaching into the sky before.

After she went to the side courtyard in the southwest corner, the fourth girl moved in. After Xie Zian took Liniang back home, the fourth girl moved to the side courtyard, and Liniang moved in.

It turned out to be the place where the mistress lived. She and her concubine lived in such a down-to-earth manner that their tails were raised.

When his tail is raised, he feels a little confused.

Jin Yan took a look at the side courtyard and came back to tell Liu Yunxiang that the four girls had moved away neatly.

But there was no movement in the main courtyard.

"Everyone inside is dead?" Jin Yan drank.

When the maid Liu Yi came out and saw Liu Yunxiang, she felt guilty and hid in the house.

"Liu Yi, are you blind? Didn't you see Madam?" Jinyan shouted.

Liu Yi was originally panicked, but when she saw Xie Zian and Liniang coming in from the courtyard door, she felt like she was leaning on her. She straightened her waist and ran down the steps, skipping Liu Yunxiang, and went straight to Xie Zian and Liniang. Salute before you.

"When did the servants of the West Courtyard become so unruly? There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority!" Liu Yunxiang looked at Liniang.

Liniang pretended to be innocent, "Madam, what do you mean, I don't understand."

At this time, Jin Yan brought a chair from the room and Liu Yunxiang sat down.

She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You don't understand, do you? Jinyan, teach them the rules."

Jin Yan rolled up his sleeves, narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and slapped Liu Yi hard.

"You rely on..."

Liu Yi was surprised and received another slap.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Jinyan asked.

Liu Yi covered her face and looked at Liniang while crying, "Madam..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped twice again.

"Who are you calling Madam? She is a concubine, is she worthy?"
