Liniang went up to hug Xie Zian and saw blood seeping out of his buttocks. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she cried even harder.

It took Xie Zian a while to recover, and half of his life was gone.

When he saw Liu Yunxiang coming over, he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Is this how you begged Yan Mu and let him beat me with twenty military sticks?"

Liu Yunxiang was speechless. He actually had the nerve to say that. He was exempted from the death penalty and only received twenty military sticks. He thought that was too much!

"Don't be dissatisfied!"

"He went too far. He stole my wife, insulted my reputation, and even wanted to kill me!"

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly, "If he bullies you like this, you should fight him tooth and nail!"

"You dare to ridicule me?"

"You know how incompetent you are, right?"

Xie Zian was full of anger, hurt and aggrieved. Liu Yunxiang's words poked his heart again and asked Liniang to help him up. As soon as he stood firm, he pushed Liu Yunxiang.

"Bitch!"

Liu Yunxiang was unprepared and her body was already weak. She leaned back after being pushed by him. At this time, Yan Mu stepped forward and hugged her.

She grabbed his arm to steady herself, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Mu's face turned pale, and he went up and grabbed Xie Zian's neck.

Xie Zian's eyes were full of panic, "You...ahem...what are you going to do...so many people are watching...ahem..."

"So you think I don't dare to kill you?"

"No, no...don't kill me...ahem...I shouldn't have pushed her...I won't dare to do it again..."

"Too late!"

Yan Mu exerted force on his hands, and Xie Zian's eyes widened and he began to have trouble breathing.

Liniang was beside her, frightened and trembling.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed Yan Mu's arm, "Don't kill him!"

"Are you still protecting him?"

"I just want to protect him!"

Yan Mu glared at Liu Yunxiang hatefully, then shook off Xie Zian, turned around, mounted his horse and left.

When Liu Yunxiang saw Xie Zian softening to the ground, she didn't know whether it was because of the twenty army sticks or she was frightened, so she asked Jin Yan to help Liniang get the person into the carriage.

Jin Yan came over and whispered: "I think Master Yan did the right thing this time."

"What's wrong?"

"He is so greedy for life and afraid of death, and even beats women. Even my little maid looks down on him."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "It is indeed looked down upon."

But we still need to save him, as there is still use in keeping him.

The official road to Beijing was finally cleared, and grains from various states were gradually shipped in. The famine in Shengjing was quickly alleviated.

These days, Liu Yunxiang has been raising her body in the west courtyard, and in the blink of an eye she is already four months old. As the months go by, and the poison of white wood damages her body, and her blood replenishes, her face is always pale and haggard, and it becomes more and more...

Thin and getting weaker.

Seeing Liu Yunxiang like this, Jinyan felt worried every day.

"Girl, please drink two more sips."

Jinyan looked at the half bowl of chicken soup left in the bowl and persuaded her earnestly.

Liu Yunxiang laughed, "This is the third bowl."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang burping and looking like he would vomit after another sip, Jin Yan could only catch the bowl helplessly.

"But after eating so much, I can't see any growth. By the way, the kitchen is still stewing bird's nest porridge..."

"Good girl, let my mouth rest for a while."

Jin Yan felt so sorry for Liu Yunxiang, "Then I will help you get up and walk."

Liu Yunxiang nodded. Recently, her waist began to ache, and sometimes she couldn't get up alone. She sat up first, and Jin Yan rubbed her waist, and then helped her stand up.

My head was dizzy, my legs were weak, and my whole body felt light and airy.

When she was alone at night, she always thought, if she could really survive for another three or four months and give birth to this child, why did she feel like one foot had already entered the gate of hell?

Every time at this time, she felt very scared and could not sleep all night.

Autumn is coming soon, but the heat is still there.

Jinyan helped Liu Yunxiang walk under the corridor. After walking for a while, her body moved freely, and she no longer wanted to be supported by Jinyan.

"Doctor Qu has been studying medical books all day long for you, and he just changed his prescription."

"I definitely feel better."

"She also wrote a letter to her master, asking the old man to help her think of a solution."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "She has done her best for my affairs."

But she knew it, and Qu Moran also knew it. It was a miracle to save the child, and it was an impossible miracle to save her.

"Is there anything new happening these days?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"The second master has been clamoring to become a monk these days, and the second wife has been crying and making a fuss."

"Oh, the Second Master's temper is something that Buddha would not dare to accept."

"The third young master has not yet married, the fourth girl has not yet announced her marriage, and the matchmaker has not come to the house. The second master's troubles will undoubtedly make the marriage of his children worse."

"After experiencing this famine and being implicated in the prince's case, I heard that the court is half empty, so I want to join Enke this year. This is a good thing for the second prince. I am making preparations now." Jin Yan said.

"Is the eldest lady's illness more than half better?"

"Yes, I have been working around the second young master all day."

Liu Yunxiang sneered, everyone in the Hou family is a good actor.

"The third master received twenty military sticks and has been kept in a side yard these days. I only scolded Liu Yi when she came to ask for monthly payment," Jinyan said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, tired from walking, and sat down on the porch.

"What's going on outside?"

Jin Yan was depressed for a moment and then said: "It's just a matter, not a big deal."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Jin Yan, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Jin Yan sat down next to Liu Yunxiang and said flatly: "Wenchang Bo's house has been rehabilitated."

Liu Yunxiang was startled, and then nodded, this happened in his previous life as well.

Wenchangbo's Mansion is also Yuan Qingyue's family. Previously, because of his involvement with the deposed prince, the house was ransacked. Wenchangbo and his wife were killed. The rest of the family members and slaves were either exiled to Shannian camp or sold into the black market, and Yuan Qingyue followed.

Yan Mu didn't suffer much at all.

She remembered that several aristocratic families wrote to Yan Mu and listed eighteen crimes, each of which was a death penalty. Yan Mu was scolded in court, had his title of Minister of Dali Temple reduced, and was fined three years' salary, but he still commanded the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

, and became the flying dragon commander.

His rank did not drop, but rose two levels.

Wenchangbo's house was rehabilitated and his title was restored, but Yuan Qingyue was still a noble daughter of the aristocratic family, but she had already followed Yan Mu. Although her reputation was ruined, she had to give an explanation to Wenchangbo and his wife who died in vain.

The queen decided on this matter and betrothed her to Yan Mu as a concubine.
