That night, Xie Zian was sent back by Dongchang.

The old lady saw her youngest son lying on the wooden board, unconscious, with wounds all over his body and bloody flesh in some places, and she fainted immediately.

The west side courtyard was in chaos, and Liu Yunxiang could hear the noise even in this courtyard.

It got cold early this year. Just after the beginning of winter, the cold started to drop. Zhang Qi's charcoal shop was already open, but the business was expected to be bleak, and the guys he sent to the north also came back, and truckloads of leather goods came in.

In the city, within two days, leather goods shops also opened.

Liu Yunxiang didn't have the energy to do anything, so he just went over and took a look, leaving all the big and small matters to Zhang Qi.

There was frost last night, so Jin Yan knew that Liu Yunxiang couldn't stand the cold, so he lit a charcoal fire. It was freezing outside, but the room was warm, and Liu Yunxiang slept peacefully.

Early in the morning, Liu Yunxiang was awakened by the sound of crying. He thought something had happened and hurriedly called Jin Yan to come in, only to find out that it was Liniang who was crying outside.

"What happened to her?" Liu Yunxiang asked, patting his chest.

As soon as she finished asking, Liniang ran in with Kang Geer in her arms, and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Madam, I know you are kind-hearted, please save our mother and son." Liniang cried and begged.

Liu Yunxiang let Jin Yan help him up and leaned on the quilt behind him. Then he saw that one side of Liniang's face was blue, as if she had been hit by a fist. And Kang Geer in her arms had a big swollen forehead, and the child was crying.

There was no sound.

"Jinyan, take Brother Kang and go outside to eat something."

"yes."

Jin Yan took Brother Kang from Liniang's arms and went out while coaxing him.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Liniang and took a deep breath, "Did he hit you?"

Liniang covered her face and started crying. She stopped after a while, "A few days ago, I said that I wanted to look back at Shicun and it would be great if I could buy that piece of land back. I did have this intention, but I didn't expect it.

He went gambling because of this, lost so much money, and was arrested in Dongchang. Now he blames me, saying that if I hadn't been too greedy, these things wouldn't have happened. I refuted him, and he beat me.

I was holding the baby in my arms at the time, and I was unprepared for the moment. The baby fell out of my hands and fell to the ground. He thought we were annoying and said he would beat us to death if we cried again."

On the outside, he is soft and soft, but at home, he is very rough.

Liu Yunxiang had already seen through Xie Zian, but he was still shocked by his shamelessness. He opened and shut his mouth to love Liniang, who was cute but could beat her without mercy. This kind of love was too terrible.

At this time Liu Yi came and shouted outside, saying that the third master was asking Aunt Li to return to the side courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Liniang was so frightened that she trembled all over.

"No, no, he will kill our mother and son!"

Liu Yunxiang couldn't bear to see Liniang like this, so he asked Liu Yi to go back and tell Xie Zian that she would leave Liniang to talk in this courtyard and go back later.

After Liu Yi left, Liniang couldn't hold back and started crying again.

"My husband is not like this. He treats me extremely well." Liniang said while wiping her tears. "After the house was taken away, we should not have come back. Once we returned to the Hou Mansion, he changed."

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly, "If you don't come back, you'll have to keep me a widow for the rest of my life, right?"

Liniang knew she had made a mistake and quickly shook her head, "No, I definitely have no intention of harming Madam."

"You wasted my life, so why don't you harm me?"

"I didn't think that much..."

No, she had always known of her existence and that she was a widow in the Hou Mansion for decades in her previous life. How could she not have thought of her situation? Not only had she thought of it, but she was also very proud of it.

"That's all, you go outside and have breakfast."

Later, Xie Zian came over to coax Liniang and said many nice words. Liniang relented and hugged Brother Kang and followed him back to the side courtyard.

But since then, there have always been quarrels and cries from the West Branch Courtyard, each time becoming more intense.

On this day, Yulian came over and invited Liu Yunxiang to the east courtyard.

The old lady has been sick since that day when Xie Zian was sent back in a bloody state and fainted. This time she was not pretending. When Liu Yunxiang passed by, he saw that the old lady looked sick, but within a few days, she had lost weight.

"These days, too many things have happened in the Hou Mansion. The second room is making trouble, the third room is crying, and there is no peace every day. I originally wanted to go to Hui'an Temple to worship Buddha and pray for a safe home, but my health is getting worse and I cannot make the trip. You

The eldest sister-in-law is not in good health, and the second sister-in-law is crazy. You are the only one left in the family, so you can go."

"It's not convenient for me." Liu Yunxiang said.

"As an elder, I am begging you."

It was rare to see the old lady put down her posture like this, so Liu Yunxiang did not refuse. She originally did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but after she was reborn, she also wanted to pay homage to the Buddha and ask him to bless her and give birth to her child safely.

The next day was a nice day, so Liu Yunxiang took Jinyan and Zijin out early.

As she passed the city gate, her carriage was stopped for inspection.

Jinyan and Zijin got out of the car, and Yan Mu got in after a while.

"Where are you going?" he asked in a bad tone.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Did you check other women's families in the same way?"

"I don't care about other people, I only care about you."

Liu Yunxiang didn't want to get entangled with him, so he said, "I'll go to Hui'an Temple to ask for a peace charm."

"Can you stop running around?"

"Can you leave me alone?"

Yan Mu's eyes darkened, he went up and hugged Liu Yunxiang into his arms, and kissed her hard despite her struggle.

"As long as I live, I will take care of you."

Liu Yunxiang angrily raised her hand and slapped him, and he kissed her again. If she hit her again, he would kiss her back, but she was weak and couldn't get away anyway.

"I...I just went to ask for a peace charm to protect me and my child from surviving. Why can't it work?" She was so angry that she couldn't do anything.

Yan Mu snorted, "Then come back early."

Liu Yunxiang didn't want to agree, but Yan Mu wouldn't let her go, "I understand."

"That's good."

After watching Liu Yunxiang's carriage leave, Yan Mu went back to take a nap under the big locust tree.

At this time, the beggar came over and said, "Just when you fell asleep, there was a carriage passing by. It looked like it was coming from the palace."

Yan Mu opened his eyes, "In the palace?"

"I followed him out to take a look. He was walking in the direction of Hui'an Temple."
