This small house was not only narrow, but also leaky and drafty everywhere. When they pushed open the creaking door, a strong musty smell hit them in the face. Looking up, they could see busy mice on the roof, which made the family feel frightened and their faces turned pale.

Zheng Chengyuan was busy sorting out his limited belongings in the house. He frowned and said to Zheng Chengyan worriedly, "Brother, this is not a solution. We must find a way to rescue our father."

From the luxurious life in the past to the poverty now, the huge gap in life makes everyone adjust and adapt hard.

Wang held her three daughters, crying and complaining, and was very emotional: "How can we live in such a shabby place? No, I want to go back to the Zheng Mansion, back to the Zheng Mansion!"

Her shouting made the already depressing atmosphere even more irritating.

Zheng Chengyan's face was heavy, and the pain he had felt last night made his voice sound even more hoarse and tired: "I know I have to save my father, but now, who is willing to lend a hand?"

His eyes were deep, as if he was looking for a glimmer of hope.

Zheng Chengyuan frowned, his eyes full of solemnity, as if he was carrying too many unknown worries. Finally, he uttered a name with a bit of determination and helplessness: "Second sister-in-law."

Zheng Chengyan's heart trembled as soon as these words came out, and a look of surprise flashed across his face: "Second brother, are you saying... to ask for help from Second Sister-in-law? I think that as husband and wife, even if things have changed now, there is still some warmth between them. If you come to visit us, maybe you can raise the money we urgently need."

"As long as we have enough money, we will have the opportunity to smooth over the relationship with the Ministry of Justice and ask them to try to rescue father. Even if the result is not satisfactory, at least it can ensure that our lives will not be too tight in the short term."

There was a barely perceptible hint of hope in Zheng Chengyan's eyes, but his tone was also mixed with a hint of helplessness.

Zheng Chengyuan is always gentle, tolerant and generous in his daily life. His gentle temperament made even a smart person like Su Wanyu mistakenly believe that he, like his brother Ning Jiangyuan, had sincere feelings for her.

Therefore, whenever he needed help, especially when it came to money, she would always lend a helping hand without hesitation.

However, it was not until the last moment of her life that she suddenly realized that the indifference and selfishness in his bones were no different from Ning Jiangyuan.

Faced with this proposal, Zheng Chengyan shook his head decisively and refused decisively: "No, I can't bother her anymore."

Zheng Chengyuan mistakenly thought that it was his pride that was at work, so he patiently persuaded him, "Second brother, I understand that you must be upset after being divorced, but in this situation where we are surrounded by enemies, how can we have the time to care about those face issues?"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Chengyan's face darkened instantly. He didn't want to mention the past anymore, and his tone became stern and unquestionable: "If you really want to do this, then go and ask her yourself!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves suddenly, turned around, and left angrily, leaving only the sound of his sleeves fluttering in the air.

At this time, Pei's crying voice sounded again, with a bit of helplessness and resentment: "Zheng Chengyuan, look at this dilapidated house, how can it accommodate so many people? Including my sister-in-law and the children, there are a total of ten people. Do you want me to squeeze into this bed with them?"

Zheng Chengyuan frowned even more tightly, and a thick layer of gloom covered his face.

For someone like him who had never truly experienced the hardships of life, all of this seemed particularly heavy.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his wife down. "Don't worry. I'll go find my second sister-in-law. Maybe she can lend us some gold and silver. Then we can buy a decent mansion in the suburbs."

After saying this, he turned and walked into the inner room, changed into a relatively decent gown, and planned to go to the Su Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Chengyan came over upon hearing the noise, blocked his way, and said firmly: "Stop! You can't go to the Su family!"

Zheng Chengyuan looked puzzled. He looked around at the dilapidated surroundings and spoke anxiously, "Brother, look at this place. How can we live here in such conditions? Even the bed is covered with mold. Can you bear to let our family continue like this?"

"Even so, you shouldn't bow down to her!"

Zheng Chengyan almost yelled, but all this failed to stop Zheng Chengyuan's determination to go his own way. He strode out of the door, leaving behind a resolute back.

At the same time, in the prosperous and quiet Su Mansion, Su Wanyu had just arranged a comfortable residence for Xiao Guo.

Guo's mind was still lingering with the memory of the life-and-death experience she had at Zheng's house last night. She was both surprised and grateful for Su Wanyu's help.

"Wanyu, you've worked so hard."

Little Mrs. Guo was half lying on the bed, looking haggard. Since losing that innocent child, her health condition has been getting worse and worse.

Su Wanyu's heart was filled with complex emotions, and she was almost deceived by Xiao Guo's weak appearance.

Fortunately, she had keenly noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Guo earlier, and secretly sent her personal guard Xiao Yi to closely monitor her movements.

"You, why didn't you tell me earlier? In the end, you are the one who suffers."

Su Wanyu's tone was gentle, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Mrs. Guo shook her head slightly, her tone revealing a bit of weakness: "My body has been tortured beyond recognition by them, and this pregnancy is even more uncertain about my life and death."

Su Wanyu comforted her, and her words were encouraging: "Take good care of your body. Once you are healthy, there will always be a chance to have another baby in the future."

Little Guo forced a bitter smile and said, "With my shabby body, I am lucky to be alive. How can I dare to dream of having children again?"

Su Wanyu disagreed with her negative attitude: "Madam, your wonderful life is still waiting for you."

Then, she stood up, her eyes firm: "Now that I have returned to the Su family, I naturally have to take on the responsibility of managing the family. Such a large family business must be properly taken care of by someone."

"If you don't mind, ma'am, please stay with me and help me."

"I?"

There was a hint of doubt in Xiao Guo's eyes, and she was obviously surprised by this proposal.

Su Wanyu smiled and nodded: "Madam used to serve the gentleman. She is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in arithmetic. I need a reliable person like Madam to assist me."

Guo Jing'er is also a woman with a tragic fate. The relationship between the two has long surpassed that of master and servant and is as close as sisters.

Although there are many talented people in this vast sea of ​​people, it is rare to find a confidant who is loyal to you and never leaves you.

In her future journey to the palace, she needs such a capable assistant to accompany her.

Little Guo slowly lifted the quilt, forced herself to sit up, and bowed deeply to Su Wanyu: "My life was given by you, Wanyu. If I can help you solve your problems, it will be the greatest blessing for me."
