Sure enough, just a few days after he was proud, Xie Zian fell into despair again. He went around borrowing money from people, including the old lady, Liu Yunxiang, the second bedroom in the big house, and even the juniors below.

The Hou Mansion had not realized what was going on, and Xie Zian did not dare to confess, until three days later, the gambling house came to the door with Xie Zian in custody.

Only after asking this question did he find out that in just a few days, Xie Zian had lost ten thousand taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels, the dignified prince's mansion really can't afford it.

The old lady originally wanted to use the remaining power of the Hou Mansion to scare the people in the gambling house. After all, the people do not fight with the officials, so maybe they don't have to pay back the money.

Maybe if you open a gambling house in Shengjing, you have a backer, so you won't do this at all. If you don't get the money, you will directly file a lawsuit with the government.

This time, the Hou Mansion was in great disgrace.

Seeing that her son's future was being affected, the eldest lady hurriedly collected five thousand taels. The old lady pawned several coffins to collect three thousand taels. The remaining two thousand taels were really hard to come by, so she turned her attention to Liu Yunxiang.

.

"You can search as long as it's valuable, and I won't stop you." Liu Yunxiang said while coughing.

The old lady took a look at Liu Yunxiang's house. Everywhere was very pure, and there was no trace of jewelry.

It must have been really shaved off.

"How about you go back to your parents' house to get together?"

Liu Yunxiang sneered, "You asked Mrs. Anyang to say those things in front of my mother. My mother has severed ties with me. How can I borrow money?"

The old lady wanted to slap herself in the mouth. She really hated telling her sister about Liu Yunxiang.

When they met later, she even used this incident to shame her, which made her lose face.

"Otherwise... where is Yan Mu?"

Liu Yunxiang chuckled, "You can really open your mouth like this, and you're not afraid of biting your tongue?"

"This is not a trick."

"Please go back, I can't raise the money."

The old lady stood up suddenly and said, "Zian is your husband, is it possible that you want to watch him be forced to death by the people in the gambling house?"

"Mother, Third Master is a man, do you think he can take Yan Mu's money? You are not like slapping him in the face. If he really takes this money, will he be able to straighten up and become a man in the future?"

"you!"

"Hey, I'm thinking about the third master."

The old lady was ashamed and angry, but she had no choice but to think of other ways.

But Xie Zian still didn't repent, so he borrowed a hundred taels from his classmates and went to the gambling house again. After losing the one hundred taels, he still wanted to borrow money to gamble, but the gambling house wouldn't give it to him. He became furious and acted arrogantly.

It is said that his father and brother died in the war for the country and ensured peace in the world. They, ordinary people, are not grateful to the Xie family at all.

Dongchang had eyes and ears all over Shengjing, and soon the words reached the emperor's ears.

That night, Dongchang took Xie Zian away from the Hou Mansion.

The old lady was confused and hurriedly asked the second master to find out what was going on. When they found out what happened, everyone in the Hou family panicked.

"This evil obstacle, when he escorted the army rations, failed to rush back in time. Although the defeat was irreversible, he was not at fault. If investigated, this would be a serious crime of delaying the military plane! I protected him and did not mention it, but he escaped

outside, still

Marrying a wife and having children, living a peaceful life, but really not responsible at all! Now, relying on a woman's belly to join the Ministry of War, he doesn't talk about reviving the family business, but he is addicted to drinking and gambling, and he talks indiscriminately, and he actually wants to destroy the whole family.

Kill me!" Mr. Xie said angrily.

After waiting for two days, the holy wrath did not come down, and the family felt a little relieved, so the old lady asked the second master to inquire about Xie Zian's stay in Dongchang.

But Dongchang is a place where information is strictly blocked. How many connections cannot be cleared and how much money cannot be sent.

For a while, the Hou Mansion didn't even know whether Xie Zian was dead or alive.

Na Liniang went to the old lady's house every day to wait for news. The old lady was so annoyed by her that when she went again, she asked Yulian to block her at the door.

She had no one to rely on in the Hou Mansion, so she could only go to Liu Yunxiang's place to cry.

Liu Yunxiang asked Jinyan to put a chair in the yard. Liniang liked to cry, so she cried in the yard while she listened in the house.

"I cry every day, my ears are calloused, and I'm disturbing you so much that I can't rest well. Why don't I drive her away and not allow her to come again." Jin Yan said while sewing her coat.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Jinyan made Xiaowu and Zijin a thin coat that they can wear in early winter.

Liu Yunxiang leaned on the pillow and listened to the pitiful cries. He felt annoyed for a moment, but he felt that the tone of his previous life was slowly getting better.

She has to listen for a few more days, after all, they owe her decades of debt!

"Don't let her cry. I'm just listening to music."

At night, Liu Yunxiang was sleeping in a daze. He vaguely heard some movement and looked up to see a dark shadow in the middle of the room.

"who?"
