Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 2 I'm Pregnant

Last night, the rain was dredging and the wind was blowing, and the remaining flowers and leaves were blown down all over the courtyard.

The west window was opened, and the damp wind came in, and it felt cool on the face.

Liu Yunxiang was leaning on the Arhat bed, staring at the peach blossom sticking out from the corner of the window in a daze.

"Ma'am, the cashier is here."

Jin Yan Dian Dian ran in, with a few petals on her head, and her whole body was wet.

Seeing such a young and lively Jinyan, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help being taken aback for a moment.It took me a while to come back to my senses, yes, she was reborn, and she was reborn to the third year of marrying into the Hou's mansion.

"Let the accountant come in."

The accountant is an old man with a white beard. He has been managing accounts in the Hou Mansion for more than 30 years. He is very thin and looks shrewd.He was wearing a blue robe, holding a stack of ledgers in his hand.

"Mr. Hu, please take this trip, put the ledger here." Liu Yunxiang said.

"Why did the third lady suddenly check the account, but what happened?" Hu accountant asked pointedly.

Checking the accounts is naturally a matter of the accounts, but no matter how clear the accounts are, there are still some confusions, so he is afraid that the third lady will find fault with him on purpose.

Liu Yunxiang smiled faintly, "Hou's mansion was ransacked two years ago, and now the shops and fruit farms on the books are all my dowry, right?"

The accountant paused, "Yes."

"I check my own things, can I check?"

Accountant Hu had nothing to say, and put the account book in his hand on the table,
Three years ago, the Marquis of Jing'an led an army of [-] to fight fiercely with Bei Jin at Yangui Pass.

Both sides are strong and strong, but they fought for more than a year, and finally ended in a disastrous defeat for them.

In this battle, the national treasury was emptied, and there were countless casualties. It also ceded the three cities in the northwest to Beijin. Since then, it has been suppressed by this northern power.

After the war, the Jing'an Hou Mansion was the first to be held accountable.

Marquis Jing'an took his three sons to the battlefield together. He and his eldest son died in battle. The third son, Xie Zi'an, Liu Yunxiang's husband, was beheaded by the Beijin cavalry while transporting grain and grass, and his body was trampled beyond recognition.

Only the second son, Xie Zixuan, is still alive, and now he is locked in the prison.

The Marquis of Jing'an has been one of the eight great families since the establishment of the dynasty. The emperor didn't want to involve too much, so he only confiscated the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, confiscated all his family's wealth, and did not take back his title.

After this blow, the old lady couldn't get sick, the eldest lady returned to her mother's house, the second lady went to the nunnery, and there were still a few children from the second bedroom of the eldest room. At this time, Liu Yunxiang stood up and supported the family.

Liu Yunxiang spread out several account books, including Yanzhizhai, Silk and Satin Village, and suburban orchards, all of which were her dowry.

At that time, she had just married into the Hou's mansion, and the dowry had not yet been recorded in the book, so she escaped the search of the house.

Today's Hou Mansion is all about her.

She picked up the daily expenses booklet of the Hou Mansion, and flipped through it page by page.

When he saw one of them, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"This one." She pointed it to the cashier, "I spend 100 taels every month, what is it for?"

Accountant Hu glanced at it, and said: "This is the old lady helping distant relatives, you should know."

Liu Yunxiang did know, and knew that the money was sent to Wangshi Village, Shiqiao Town, but she lived her whole life, and it was only when she died that she realized that this relative was her husband.

"Stop it first."

"This……"

"I plan to open a rice and grain store, and I will take all the money on the account later. What kind of poor relatives, it has been helping for so long, it is enough benevolence and righteousness."

"Where is the old lady?"

"Accountant Hu, how much is your current monthly payment?" Liu Yunxiang looked up at Accountant Hu.

"Three taels of silver."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "I'll raise it to five taels for you."

Accountant Hu's eyes widened, and he suddenly raised two taels of silver.

"Do you still have any questions?"

"No...it's gone. I'll go back and collect the money on the account. It will be convenient for the third lady to pick it up."

"Okay, let's go."

After the accountant left, Liu Yunxiang asked Jinyan to help him get up, and walked around the room.

In the past two days, her back hurts badly, and she has to get up and walk around after sitting for a while.

"Ma'am, you haven't eaten much this morning, will my servant finish making noodles for you?" Jinyan asked worriedly.

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, she had no appetite at all.

Hey, she was reborn at this time, if the gods really have pity on her, even if it was only three months earlier...

Liu Yunxiang unconsciously stroked her stomach, should she keep this child?
"By the way, Ma'am, you asked your servant to find out what's going on in the East Courtyard. The old lady went out just now."

Liu Yunxiang rolled her almond eyes, "We're going out too."

Wangshi Village, Shiqiao Town is located on the outskirts of Shengjing, and it takes more than an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

Liu Yunxiang thought, it's not from the ends of the earth, she never met him once in her previous life.I have been kept in the dark all my life, and I only found out before I died, and I died of aggrieved death.

The carriage came to the street and stopped shortly after.

"Why don't you leave?" Jin Yan asked the driver outside.

The coachman replied: "There are many officers and soldiers outside Wenchangbo's mansion, and the people watching the excitement have blocked the road."

Liu Yunxiang opened the curtain of the car, and through layers of civilians and officers and soldiers, she caught sight of the man standing at the door.

He was wearing black brocade clothes, his face was like a jade crown, his phoenix eyes were smiling, and he was playing with a peach blossom. In front of him was kneeling a woman in a crimson spring dress, crying and kowtowing, begging this man to let her family members go.

That woman is Yuan Qingyue, the eldest daughter of the Chang Bo Mansion, one of the twin sisters in Shengjing, who is both talented and beautiful.At various banquets, she often sees her as a proud woman.

Liu Yunxiang put down the curtain of the car, and said calmly, "Turn around and go another way."

Seeing Yuan Qingyue, she thought of herself.That night, she begged him the same way.

"Madam..." Jinyan hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "With Miss Yuan, Master Yan will not bother you tonight."
