At that time, Chen Yuan was like a fool, and he insisted on being with that kid Gu Zhaoming. In the end, Uncle Yiyong had no choice but to accept that son-in-law.

But now, Gu Zhaoming's mother has just passed away, and he has lost his official position. If Chen Yuan divorces at this time, he will probably be accused of being vain.

Chen Yuan opened his mouth. He couldn't say that Gu Zhaoming suspected that he had killed his mother, so he would take her life, right?

She didn't dare to say it, nor could she tell these words to Mrs. Chen.

She had only returned halfway, and her relationship with Mrs. Chen was not as deep as that of her other brothers. There were some things that Chen Yuan could only swallow to himself.

If she suddenly said at this time that she was the one who killed Liu, her mother would probably not dare to get close to her, let alone make the decision for her.

Chen Yuan hugged Madam Chen's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you don't know that Gu Zhaoming is fickle..." Chen Yuan wiped away her nonexistent tears and continued, "If it were just that, I wouldn't say anything. Since ancient times, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. But that guy actually hit my daughter. I don't want to be beaten to death."

During the days of Liu's funeral, Chen Yuan found that Gu Zhaoming always looked at her sinisterly, which made Chen Yuan almost scared.

In order to prevent Gu Zhaoming from harming her, Chen Yuan found an excuse to return to her parents' home as soon as Liu's coffin was buried.

When Mrs. Chen heard that her daughter had been beaten, she flew into a rage, "How dare that guy named Gu hit you!"

Chen Yuan nodded pitifully. "If it weren't for this, that's why I want to divorce Gu Zhaoming. I'm a little embarrassed to even mention it. Liu teamed up with Gu Zhaoming to bully me some time ago, and I was too embarrassed to go out and see people for a long time."

"How can this be! You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"No, the maid named Luzhu knew the suffering my daughter had endured. You can ask her and she will know if she is lying or not."

Mrs. Chen took a few deep breaths; she was also in a difficult situation.

On one side is the daughter, and on the other side is the reputation of the family.

Mrs. Chen could only prevaricate, "Your divorce is definitely not going to work now. I can only wait for your father to come back and ask him what he has to say."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Chen Yuan knew that her mother was not just trying to please her, so she agreed on the surface. However, she was thinking about going to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion when she had time to see if she could meet Changsheng.

…………

Shen Rong thought that what she said to Chen Yuan before leaving Gu's house about making an appointment was just a polite remark, but she didn't expect that only half a month later, Chen Yuan came to her door with a note, saying that he wanted to come and see Shen Rong.

In fact, according to the customs of Dayong, if there is a funeral in someone's home, you cannot visit their home. But Shen Rong wanted to know what Chen Yuan was thinking, so she responded to the other party's post.

On the first day of June, early in the morning, Chen Yuan entered the gate of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Rong was in good spirits today and received Chen Yuan in the flower hall.

Ice had been placed in the flower hall, and it was chilly. Chen Yuan shivered when he entered.

The two met and showed concern for each other, and then tested each other.

"Sanniang, now that I don't have a mother-in-law above me, I can come and play with you often in the future."

Shen Rong twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and just as she was about to say something, Chen Yuan's inner voice came over.

"That old woman died a very good death!"

Shen Rong paused and looked at Chen Yuan calmly. "Come to my house and play with me when you have time in the future."

"It would be better if I come here more often. If I come here more often, I will have the chance to meet Changsheng." Shen Yuan thought to himself.

Chen Yuan's thoughts fell accurately into Shen Rong's ears when she sat down.

Chen Yuan came to see Changsheng. If Shen Rong couldn't guess what she wanted to do, then she would have lived in vain.

As soon as he came up, he took Shen Rong's arm and said, "You said that if I come here more often in the future, you can't find me annoying."

Shen Rong's arm that was held by Chen Yuan actually got goose bumps.

Shen Rong pulled her arm out calmly, "Your shop is so busy, do you still have time to play?"

Chen Yuan smiled, with a somewhat complacent look on his face, "The shop has a shopkeeper and servants, why do I need to guard it all the time? Now that my mother-in-law is gone, I am free and can go and play with whoever I want."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yuan's thoughts followed.

"Earning money is important, but she is not short of money now. She just needs to wait for her divorce from Gu Zhaoming. In less than three years, Shen Rong will die of illness. Then she will have the opportunity to enter the Marquis' Mansion and become the mistress!"

When Shen Rong heard Chen Yuan's thoughts, she was speechless.

What is Chen Yuan thinking?

It seems that Qu Lian hasn't been struggling enough, otherwise how could she have the mind to consider another man as a backer.

No, it was because they had gone too far that the couple turned against each other, and Chen Yuan was looking for another way out, which is why he targeted Changsheng.

Shen Rong was both angry and amused, and she didn't know whether she was right to let Qu Lian go.

Shen Rong sighed and said helplessly: "Ah! I really envy you. Your man is a capable man, unlike Changsheng. He looks better now, but he is still the same Changsheng inside. I dare not even think about the days in the future without the elders in the family..."

Chen Yuan got a little nervous when he heard Shen Rong say that. "Oh? Isn't Changsheng's brain fine? Isn't he like a normal person?"

This series of questions made Shen Rong's face look ugly. She said weakly, "Changsheng looks good, but he is not as good as those people trained by the nobles in the capital. He has no ability and no knowledge. This is how his life will be. Don't even think about him making a name for himself. I'm afraid he can only live with an empty title..."

After saying that, Shen Rong also glanced at Chen Yuan's face. Sure enough, she saw that Chen Yuan's face had become much worse. Shen Rong continued, "Changsheng prefers farming, and he doesn't care about anything else..."

Chen Yuan listened to how Shen Rong despised Changsheng for being incompetent and how he would never be able to make a name for himself.

She believed Shen Rong's words, but she still tried to persuade him, "Changsheng's brain has only recovered for a short time, maybe he will be fine after some time."

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, his inner voice came again.

"Ah! You are wrong. Although Changsheng has a title, it is just an empty shell to him. Even if she finally marries into the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, she will still be looked down upon. Moreover, a peasant like Changsheng cannot win him the title of a royal lady."

After hearing this, what else did Shen Rong not understand?

This Chen Yuan wants to be a royal lady so badly that she is crazy!

He even put the idea in her head.

"Oh! I don't ask for these things. As long as the person is well, I will be satisfied."

In his heart, Shen Yuan despised Shen Rong for not having great ambitions, but he still looked like he recognized Shen Rong, "Sanniang is really open-minded. You look like a blessed person."

Chen Yuan stayed in Guiyuan for the entire day and did not leave until the sun set.

She didn't see Changsheng the whole day.

However, because of Shen Rong's words, Chen Yuan was a little hesitant about marrying into the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

On this side, Shen Rong figured out Chen Yuan's purpose and naturally would not take it lightly.

Later, Chen Yuan wanted to come to Shen Rong's house for a chat several times, but was rejected every time.
