It was already the next day when Shen Rong got the news.

It was a letter that Zhang Liuniang sent to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion.

Shen Rong directly asked Chun Xing to run a trip and bring Qu Lian into the house.

"Madam, I have lived up to your trust." Qu Lian knelt down as soon as she saw Shen Rong.

"Hurry up, there's no need to be so polite. Tell me, what happened to those two people?" Shen Rong pulled Qu Lian up from the ground and made her sit down on a chair.

Qu Lian sat halfway on the chair and told Shen Rong everything she knew about what had happened in the Gu family.

Shen Rong never expected that Liu, who lived a long life in her previous life, was actually poisoned to death.

Gu Zhaoming actually tried to poison Chen Yuan with a venomous snake and was caught on the spot.

Shen Rong was shocked when she heard this.

It seems that the reason why Gu Zhaoming did this was probably because Chen Yuan did something that Gu Zhaoming could not tolerate, otherwise he would not be so eager to kill Chen Yuan.

Shen Rong thought about it and finally thought of Liu's death.

If Chen Yuan killed Gu Zhaoming's mother, it would be normal for Gu Zhaoming to do this.

After thinking it through, Shen Rong looked at Qu Lian's face and asked, "You're leaving him like this, don't you regret it?"

Gu Zhaoming looked quite attractive judging by his appearance, but Shen Rong was a little surprised that Qu Lian was not attracted to him.

Qu Lian thought of Gu Zhaoming's coldness and ruthlessness and shook her head. "I grew up in this building and have seen many different kinds of men. Mr. Gu is not someone I can trust for the rest of my life."

Qu Lian's words made Shen Rong silent.

If she had had some of Qu Lian'er's wisdom and insight, she wouldn't have ended up like that.

"Okay, what are your plans next?" Shen Rong recovered.

Qu Lian thought for a moment and said, "I want to work in the rouge workshop. I want to learn how to make rouge and support myself with my own hands."

Shen Rong thought about it and thought, "Okay! You can take a rest for two days first, and then learn how to make rouge after you have rested well."

Qu Lian stayed in Shen Rong's workshop.

When Shen Rong heard news about Gu Zhaoming and Chen Yuan again, it was when Gu Zhaoming returned home with his coffin.

Gu Zhaoming couldn't wait for Qu Lian, and the Chen family was urging him to leave, so he had no choice but to leave the capital in this bleak autumn wind.

On the day when Gu Zhaoming left the capital city in his coffin, Chen Yuan, remembering the last bit of affection between husband and wife, silently saw Gu Zhaoming off outside the city.

Chen Yuan looked at Gu Zhaoming's back which was getting farther and farther away, and for a moment he felt extremely complicated.

She never thought that she and Gu Zhaoming would come to this point.

To be honest, when she first married him, besides Gu Zhaoming's face, Chen Yuan was also attracted by his future.

However, things are unpredictable and fate is unpredictable. At this moment, Chen Yuan seemed to understand that if someone is not yours, he will never be yours.

Chen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming have been married for several years and know best what kind of person Gu Zhaoming is.

Gu Zhaoming already knew that she killed his mother, so she must have become the person he hated the most.

Chen Yuan didn't want to leave any trouble for himself, so after learning that Gu Zhaoming was going to carry the coffin back to his hometown, Chen Yuan secretly made preparations.

She is not the indecisive person like her father. She wants to completely destroy Gu Zhaoming's future and not give him the chance to make a comeback, so as to avoid being dealt with by him in the future.

The Chen family hired six bodyguards to accompany Gu Zhaoming back home.

Because they were carrying the coffin, Gu Zhaoming and his group could not take a boat, so they could only travel by horse and carriage.

On the sixth day after leaving the capital, Gu Zhaoming and his group were robbed by a group of bandits.

Gu Zhaoming never dreamed that one day he would be robbed while carrying a coffin back to his hometown.

Originally, he thought that paying the money would give him a way to make a living.

But unexpectedly, those people not only took the money, but also came back to beat him up again and cut off a finger on his right hand.

People with disabilities cannot serve as officials.

The moment his fingers fell, Gu Zhaoming knew that what fell was not only his fingers, but also his future.

"It's gone, it's gone, all gone..." Gu Zhaoming muttered to himself as he stared blankly at the finger on the ground.

At this time, the bandits who had just hacked him had already scattered, and there was no place to chase them even if he wanted to.

Ever since Gu Zhaoming learned that he could not have his own child, he had been holding on to his life, thinking that he could become an official in the future. But now that he is disabled, that breath of hope has completely gone.

After letting out this anger, Gu Zhaoming became completely depressed.

He followed the team in a daze, with a gloomy face all day and ignoring everyone.

Because of him, the whole team became more and more depressed.

"Really? The fingers on Gu Zhaoming's right hand were cut off?" Chen Yuan looked at the servant who came to report, his eyes full of smiles.

Gu Zhaoming lost his fingers, and a physically disabled person cannot become an official. He has lost all the capital to turn his life around!

Chen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to be retaliated against by the male protagonist Gu Zhaoming in the future.

That's good.

Gu Zhaoming got Chen Yuan's dowry, but also lost his future.

From now on he can only be a rich man who lives a life of idleness and waits for death.

After Gu Zhaoming left, the Chen family spread the word that they wanted to show Chen Yuan.

Shen Rong didn't expect Chen Yuan to start looking for the next one so soon. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

On this day, Qu Lian went out to buy things and accidentally heard that the young lady of the Yiyong Earl's mansion was getting divorced and was preparing to find another husband.

Qu Lian thought of Chen Yuan's previous words and deeds of disdain for Gu Zhaoming's low official position. She rolled her eyes and waved to the few little beggars huddled in the corner.

"Sister...is there anything wrong?" The little beggar scratched his head, hesitantly looking as if he didn't dare to come forward.

"I would like to ask you to say a few words for me." Qu Lian took out a handful of copper coins from her purse.

The little beggars' eyes suddenly lit up.

They haven't had a full meal for several days. If they had these few copper coins, they could buy some steamed buns and have a good meal.

"Sister, you said..." The little kids couldn't help but move closer to Qu Lian.

Qu Lian motioned the other person to lean closer, and then gave instructions in his ear.

The little beggar nodded. "Don't worry, sister. I'll remember these words."

Qu Lian stuffed the copper coin into the hand of the beggar who looked the biggest with satisfaction. "Don't worry, this is a deposit. There will be more money after the deal is done."

The little beggar distributed the copper coins to several friends around him, and with a wave of his hand, the little beggars squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

After getting the money, the little beggars didn't rush to do what the beautiful sister asked them to do. Instead, they found a stall selling buns and bought a few coarse flour buns. After filling their stomachs, they headed towards the east of the city.

These little beggars have been begging in the capital city, and there is nothing they don't know about the families in the capital city.

After the little beggars had their fill, they headed straight for the vicinity of Earl Yiyong's mansion, waiting for the young lady to come out and then act accordingly.

The beautiful sister just said that if they spoke well, the other party might give them some rewards.

When they thought of this, the little beggars felt full of strength.
