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

Yan Mu was stunned again. Liu Yunxiang actually said he didn't care about the people in Jing'an Hou Mansion?

He still remembered how she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, but she still committed herself to him for the sake of the lives of the Marquis of Jing'an.

"Master Yan, you are cruel and cold-blooded, but I hope this child will not be like you in the future."

Yan Mu suddenly laughed, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

"If he dares to bend, I will beat him."

At this time, the maid came over and said that Miss Yuan did not hang herself, but fainted from crying.

Yan Mu clicked his tongue: "It turns out Zhenlie was just faking it."

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "You lost."

Yan Mu said indifferently: "Go to Ruichang Bank to pick it up tomorrow."

Liu Yunxiang tilted his head, "How about we do a business deal?"

"what business?"

"You give me 10 taels, and one month later, I will return you 11 taels."

Soon there will be a famine in Shengjing. She wanted to save more food before then, which would be of great use then.

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "Are you short of money?"

"Yes."

"A personal relationship or a business deal?"

"Master Yan is serious, we have no personal relationship."

"What about adultery?"

Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mufeng's eyes raised and a smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely rude and glared at him angrily.

"The 1 taels of silver I won earlier was my sincerity."

"Oh? Didn't you come prepared?"

"Master Yan can earn 2 taels a month. Good business like this doesn't happen often."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's serious look, Yan Mu waved his hand and said, "If you want money, just go and get it. I will give it to the manager."

"Now that the business is settled, I won't disturb Mr. Yan." Liu Yunxiang stood up to leave.

Yan Mu held her back and said, "Just give me a small price and then leave?"

"Master Yan, please be careful with your words. From now on, I am no longer your woman, but your business partner."

"It's very cold outside, I'll warm your bed."

"Need not."

Liu Yunxiang slapped Yan Mu's hand away and strode downstairs.

After getting down from the attic and walking on the verandah, Liu Yunxiang suddenly smelled a good smell. The taste is fragrant but not greasy, and very appetizing.

At this time, several maids came around the corner with food boxes in their hands.

As the maids passed by one by one, Liu Yunxiang suddenly stopped one of them, smelled it carefully, and asked, "What's in this?"

The maid was stunned for a moment and said: "Glutinous Rice Chicken."

"Open it and let me take a look."

The maid knew her identity. Although she felt strange, she still opened the lid.

The aroma hit his face, causing Liu Yunxiang's stomach to start drumming. She hadn't eaten properly for several days. Everything she smelled made her nauseous and she vomited everything she ate. It was rare to see something edible and she wanted to pick it up and eat it right away.

"This is... prepared for Miss Yuan." The maid paused and said.

Liu Yunxiang reluctantly swallowed his saliva and said solemnly, "This smells really bad."

After speaking, she strode forward.

After walking for a while, she turned back to Jinyan and said, "When you return home, ask the kitchen to make me a sticky rice chicken dish."

"Ah?" Jin Yan was stunned.

"I'm almost fainting from hunger."

Back at home, Jinyan called the cook up and gave her a piece of silver before she was willing to get up in the middle of the night to make glutinous rice chicken.

By the time the chicken was ready, it was already late at night.

Jinyan brought in a plate of glutinous rice chicken, "Madam, please eat some quickly."

When Liu Yunxiang smelled something wrong, he reluctantly took a bite, and then vomited several mouthfuls of yellow bile.

This time, Jin Yan was very worried.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang first went to Dechang Bank to get a banknote, and then went to the house where Zhang Qi bought it. The house is quite large and the houses are in good condition. I bought it for 1000 taels of silver.

"The remaining 2000 taels were used to buy rice as my wife ordered. However, the price of food in Shengjing has risen sharply recently. It used to be five hundred yuan per stone, but now it costs six hundred yuan." Zhang Qi said.

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Six hundred yuan per stone was indeed too expensive. In this case, she wouldn't make much money at all.

"There are granaries built in various places in our empire, and the price of food in each place is also different according to the local conditions. Last year, there was a bumper harvest, and the price of food in other places except Shengjing has dropped. For example, in Anzhou, it is only [-] yuan per stone. The situation in Shengjing is special, and the price is set by the Ministry of Household Affairs, so the price generally does not fluctuate too much," Zhang Qi said.

"We can transport food from Anzhou." Liu Yunxiang said.

Zhang Qi shook his head, "The rainy season is coming soon. If you buy too much food, it will become damp and moldy."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Don't worry about this, we won't keep it for long."

With that said, she took out a 10 tael silver check and gave it to Zhang Qi.

"This...all the food is purchased?"

"Correct."

Zhang Qi was stunned, "Madam, I must remind you again that this is too risky."

"Don't worry, I have an idea."

Zhang Qi pondered for a moment and then said: "Nowadays, both the waterway and the land route are not very peaceful. We need escort manpower."

Liu Yunxiang had thought of this problem before he approached Zhang Qi.

"Don't you have any colleagues who know kung fu?"

There was an old man in the village where Zhang Qi lived. When he was young, he traveled abroad and learned Kung Fu. However, the world was not good and he became a bandit. He drank and ate meat and lived happily for several years. Later, he was suppressed by the army and imprisoned. It's been 30 years since I entered, and when I came out, my hair was all white, and I had nowhere to go but to go back to my hometown.

Because he knew kung fu, he taught a group of boys of similar age in the village to learn kung fu in exchange for food. The boys became good brothers.

In her last life, after she expanded her business, Zhang Qi called his brothers from the countryside, who were said to be her old friends all their lives.

Zhang Qi said hurriedly: "It really does."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Don't make too much noise about transporting food. Just do it secretly. You all should be honest."

Otherwise, just before the famine, she stored a large amount of food. If someone found out, she would not be able to explain.

"Little understands."

Zhang Qi's eyes couldn't help but heat up as he looked at the banknote in his hand, not only because it was 10 taels, but also because of the third lady's trust in him.
