Qu Lian couldn't understand why Gu Zhaoming had the confidence not to escape, but Gu Zhaoming himself knew it very well.

On the first day when he decided to use a poisonous snake to cause Chen Yuan's accidental death, he accidentally heard the hostess of the Liu family next door instructing her children.

"The flowers in this yard are poisonous. You must not touch them. If you eat them, you will die."

When he first heard that, Gu Zhaoming didn't take it seriously, but after the child said that later, Gu Zhaoming broke out in a cold sweat.

"Mom, you're lying. On the evening before Grandma Gu passed away, I saw Aunt Chen next door picking several flowers! How come she wasn't poisoned to death?"

"It's not something that can be ingested, so it won't be poisonous to anyone. But it's different for a child like you. If you accidentally get pollen on your hands and then try to eat something, you could easily get infected..."

Gu Zhaoming could no longer hear clearly what was said afterwards. His mind was filled with the thought of Chen Yuan picking oleander.

Why is Chen picking oleander?

It was the evening before his mother died.

That is, before his mother died.

But his mother died of poisoning.

Don’t let this be too much of a coincidence!

The moment the child said that, Gu Zhaoming actually had that idea in his mind.

Gu Zhaoming was almost certain that it was Chen Yuan who poisoned his mother.

If the Yiyong Marquis's Mansion wanted to punish him for this, he would not be afraid.

The girl from his Chen family poisoned her mother-in-law. Not only would the reputation of the Chen family and the girl be ruined, but Earl Yiyong's career would also be affected. After all, Earl Yiyong's daughter killed her mother, and the impact was really bad.

For this reason, Gu Zhaoming was not afraid even if the matter came to the attention of Earl Yiyong.

Qu Lian didn’t know, she just wanted to live a good life like a human being.

So, after learning that Gu Zhaoming was unwilling to leave, Qu Lian wiped Gu Zhaoming's nose with a handkerchief sprinkled with knockout drug.

Just like that, the defenseless Gu Zhaoming was knocked unconscious.

When Qu Lian saw that the person had fainted, she quickly took out the letter she had written in advance to release him as a concubine and put her handprint on it for Gu Zhaoming.

After Qu Lian asked the unconscious Gu Zhaoming to press his fingerprints, she immediately returned to her residence, packed up all the money that Gu Zhaoming had left with her, and then left the Gu family quietly.

Gu Zhaoming was thrown into the study like this.

When Chen Laoer's family brought people over, Gu Zhaoming had not woken up yet. Chen Laoer was too lazy to waste time and just had someone tie him up and take him back to the Chen family.

Gu Zhaoming was awakened by a splash of cold water.

When he saw the Chen family, Gu Zhaoming's expression changed slightly.

Although he was not afraid of the Chen family, he was afraid of being beaten by them.

"Oh, you're finally awake!" Chen Laoer rolled his eyes at Gu Zhaoming but did nothing.

I felt relieved when I saw that Gu Zhaoming finally didn't start a fight over a disagreement.

"I want to see my uncle." This was the first sentence Gu Zhaoming said to the Chen family after he was caught by the Chen family.

In Chen Yuan's boudoir, the doctor gave her an acupuncture and she woke up.

When Mrs. Chen saw her daughter open her eyes, she was so excited that she could hardly stand.

"Yuan'er, what's going on between you and Gu Zhaoming?" Although Mrs. Chen was concerned about her daughter, she did not forget her husband's instructions.

Chen Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Mother, he favors his concubine and kills his wife, just to make me die!"

Mrs. Chen quickly scolded her daughter, "My son-in-law doesn't look like that kind of person. Tell me what happened."

Chen Yuan picked up some things that he could say and told them, "Our Chen family has done him a favor, but what did he do? He favored his concubine and killed his wife. Now, in order to make room for that bitch, he wants to kill me. Mother, you must make the decision for your daughter!"

Chen Yuan started crying out of grievance.

Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, Mrs. Chen decided not to doubt her daughter's words anymore.

To be honest, her daughter came home halfway, and she didn't know her daughter very well, but she loved her from the bottom of her heart.

"Is that concubine still in the Gu family? I'll get someone to bring her here right now!" Mrs. Chen said with a gloomy expression.

It's just a toy, but it dares to sow discord between the male and female protagonists in the family. It's really damnable!

Mrs. Chen glanced at the nanny beside her.

The nanny then quietly left the room and ordered someone to bring Qu Lian from the Gu family over.

Unfortunately, Qu Lian had already escaped and the nanny was left empty-handed.

Chen Jian couldn't believe his ears. He thought he must have heard it wrong.

Gu Zhaoming did not give him time to digest it. "If you don't believe me, just go ahead and check. Even my son-in-law's current physical condition, please ask a doctor to come to the mansion and check it out."

Gu Zhaoming spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and Chen Jian was so angry that his hands were shaking.

How could he have such a stupid daughter?

Killing the mother and feeding the husband sterilization drugs, is this something a human being could do?

This is actually his daughter!

Although Chen Jian didn't want to believe that his daughter had done those things, the matter remained unchecked.

After listening to Gu Zhaoming's words, Chen Jian immediately sent someone to investigate.

Sure enough, things were exactly as Gu Zhaoming said.

Liu's death, Gu Zhaoming's health...

Now that this has happened, the marriage between the two families may be impossible.

As for Chen Yuan, she is his daughter after all. He can't just watch his daughter die, right?

Therefore, Chen Jian had to save Chen Yuan's life. The Chen family's reputation could not be ruined because of Chen Yuan alone.

Gu Zhaoming can no longer stay in the capital.

If this matter were to get out, how would his granddaughters be able to find a husband? Would their children's marriages and careers not be affected?

Chen Jian made a decision in the blink of an eye.

Considering that Liu was killed by Chen Yuan, Chen Jian did not want to take Gu Zhaoming's life, but only planned to let Gu Zhaoming leave the capital.

Chen Jian told Gu Zhaoming about his plan, and he could only nod in agreement.

After Gu Zhaoming left, Chen Jian told his wife and children what Chen Yuan had done.

"What? Yuan'er...how could she be like this?" Mrs. Chen was surprised and incredulous.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been irreconcilable, but he never expected that his daughter would be so bold as to kill her mother-in-law and give Gu Zhaoming a sterilizing drug...

"She...she can't do this, right?" Mrs. Chen said with disbelief on her face.

"Hmph! My people have checked, it's absolutely true..." Chen Jian said this with difficulty.

He has killed so many people in his life that he can’t even count them all.

But, they were all enemies on the battlefield. Chen Jian had never attacked his elders before. For a moment, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"What about their two children in the future..." Mrs. Chen was interrupted by her husband when she asked halfway.

"There is no future, let them divorce! Send the child back to the Gu family, and don't mention anything else."

After all, it's not a glorious thing.

"Would he be willing to do that?" Mrs. Chen asked doubtfully.

Chen Jian's face darkened, "He has to agree even if he doesn't want to!"
