Liu Yunxiang kept staring at Yan Mu, watching him hug his shoulders tightly and his body was trembling. After hesitating for a moment, he got up and took the quilt to cover him.

After a little tidying up, she was about to leave when he pulled her away.

"Did I wake you up?" His nasal voice was a bit thick, as if he was sick.

"I sleep lightly," Liu Yunxiang said.

Yan Mu held her hand and rubbed it gently, "By the way, we didn't catch Lu Changan, you can rest assured."

Liu Yunxiang stiffened, then stubbornly pulled out his hand.

"Yes, fortunately."

Yan Mu laughed softly, "You really like him?"

"I like it."

"What do you like about him?"

"Everything about him is good, and everything about him is worthy of my liking."

Yan Mu laughed again, this one sounded eerie.

"You can like it if you like it, but remember, you are my woman."

After saying that, he tilted his head and continued to sleep, ignoring Liu Yunxiang again.

The next day, when Liu Yunxiang woke up, Yan Mu had already gone out. At noon, a beggar came to eat and said that Yan Mu had been demoted again.

"This time I went to Jingzhao Mansion to work as a catcher, and he was still at the lowest level. I won't hang out with him anymore. It is said that at noon, I had dry food mixed with white water, and there was nothing to warm my mouth."

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, "Why doesn't he go home to eat?"

"I'm investigating a case, so I don't have time. Even if I'm not busy, I'm not as free as before. I have to be on duty all day." As he said that, the beggar sighed, "It's not easy to earn those few taels of silver."

After lunch, Liu Yunxiang took Jin Yan out to Qu Moran's place. Because it snowed heavily in the past few days, there was only a path for people in the alley, and the carriage could not pass, so they could only walk there.

As soon as she exited the alley, she saw several official officers bending down to look for something in the snow, and she caught sight of Yan Mu. He was wearing the mandarin jacket worn by official officers, but he was tall and good-looking, so he was still very eye-catching.

He stood in the snow with a little irritation between his brows.

"Yan Mu, these footprints are very suspicious when you look at them!" A thin and long-faced official called to him.

Yan Mu endured his annoyance and walked over, bent down and took a look, "Is there anything suspicious?"

"Tsk, as expected, I have no experience in handling cases. You can see that the footprints here are a bit messy, and there are no other footprints. This means that this may not be a theft incident, but an escape incident."

Seeing how serious the skinny monkey was in his analysis, Yan Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Is there no other cases to investigate in Jingzhao Mansion? They lost a cow and they have to look for it themselves. We are just so free?"

Thin Monkey disagreed and said: "We are official servants. Our purpose is to serve the people. All major and minor cases are cases. You must have a correct attitude!"

"I can't get it straight!"

Yan Mu was so angry that he was boiling with rage. He turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang looking at him not far away.

The skinny monkey also noticed it and asked, "Who is that little lady?"

"My wife."

"Oh, they are siblings."

The thin monkey was very enthusiastic and ran over to say hello to Liu Yunxiang.

"Brother and sister, you are here to see Brother Yan, right? Are you bringing him food?"

Liu Yunxiang was silent. Jin Yan was holding a food box in his hand. It contained Aunt Zhang's stuffed bones. It was for Old Man Qu.

It's okay for this person to ask that, it's hard for her to say anything.

"Yan Mu, come here quickly, your wife has brought you food."

Yan Mu walked over with a sullen face, glanced at the food box, and whispered something unnecessary, but his face looked much better.

On the steps in front of the silk shop, Yan Mu opened the food box and was stunned for a moment when he saw fist-sized bones inside.

"Who did you intend to give it to?"

What Liu Yunxiang could say, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Who else can I give it to? Of course it will be for you."

Yan Mu snorted lightly and didn't ask any more questions. He just picked up a piece and gnawed on it.

Seeing that he was chewing it with gusto, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but ask: "Does the dry food soaked in boiled water at noon taste good?"

Yan Mu glanced at her and continued to eat, "No meat is delicious."

Deserve it!

Liu Yunxiang was secretly amused in his heart, and then heard Yan Mu say: "Others think you are very virtuous."

"Oh, that's not necessary."

"Are you guilty?"

"What am I guilty of?"

“Which virtuous woman would steal a man?”

Liu Yunxiang became furious, "Then tell others that I have nothing to do with you. I steal from whomever I like, and you don't feel bad about it!"

When they came to Qu Moran's place, Liu Yunxiang's anger was still not gone.

"Who is angry with you?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Father of the child?"

Liu Yunxiang was stunned. This title was a little too close to Yan Mu, but it was true.

She didn't say anything, which was her acquiescence.

Qu Moran smiled, "You are angry with him, but you still made this trip for him."

As he said that, Qu Moran took out a few packets of medicine with a prescription on them, "Nuo, for the disease you mentioned, I checked many medical books and prepared this prescription."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the packets of medicine and nodded to Liu Yunxiang, "Thank you."

"I thought that Yan Mu was not a good person and was too bad to you, but then he gave me the Nine Fragrance Pill and said he would hide it from you, so I felt that this person is not that bad after all."

Liu Yunxiang patted the packets of medicine and said, "Think of it as repaying his favor."

She was absolutely right, but she knew that she and him would always be entangled, because of this child, because of the blood in this child. Only if he lived, she and the child could live, and life and death were tied to him.

The sun was setting in the west, and Liu Yunxiang was standing in front of the east courtyard door. The door had been locked, and six people's souls were dead inside.

The wind was blowing hard, and Liu Yunxiang was wrapped in a big cloak.

Jin Yan wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Yan Mu approaching from a distance, he stepped back.

Yan Mu walked to Liu Yunxiang and urged her to go home, "It's cold outside, go back quickly."

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Yan Mu, "This family, just because Lu Changan helped them, hid Lu Changan out of gratitude, but they lost their lives because of it. They are too innocent, do you feel guilty for them?"

"Not even a tiny bit."

"Yes, you are Yan Mu, human life is too insignificant to you."

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang and led her home.

"You think they are innocent, and they will think they are innocent until they die, but I don't think so."

"Because Lu Changan escaped?"

"Because they made a big mistake."

"What about me?"

"If you are wrong, you are wrong. I will support you."

After dinner, Yan Mu went out. Maybe he was working the night shift, so Liu Yunxiang didn't ask any questions. He didn't come back until late at night, and a beggar helped him back.

"I came home so late and smelled of alcohol. I was careful not to get scolded."

"Okay, you can go back."

"When Mrs. Liu asks you where you went later, just say you went to drink with me. Don't say you went to Yiyue Pavilion."

"Shut up!"

"I don't mean to remind you."

"Get out of here!"

Liu Yunxiang kept thinking about Yan Mu's words, 'They made a big mistake.' The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. It was not until Yan Mu heard about Yiyue Pavilion.
