To Zheng Yunu's surprise, Luo not only did not stop her, but encouraged her and covered for her. As a result, Zheng Yunu's interactions with Deng Lei became more secretive.

The two of them have reached the point where they are determined to marry no one but you, Zheng's father, Zheng's mother and Zheng's elder brother are still kept in the dark.

One day, Zheng Yunu received a letter from Deng Lei, in which Deng Lei said that he was about to leave Yujing City and wanted to see her before leaving.

Zheng Yunu did not suspect anything and, with Luo's arrangement, she successfully left the Zheng Mansion. After coming out, Luo also covered up their meeting.

As soon as he saw Zheng Yunu, Deng Lei hugged her and said how much he missed her and how he couldn't bear to leave her. Zheng Yunu was a delicate young lady raised in seclusion, and she was deeply in love with the man in front of her. How could she resist his offensive?

After some hesitation, Zheng Yunu was succeeded by Deng Lei.

While they were whispering in each other's ears, Deng Lei proposed to Zheng Yunu and asked her if she would like to go to the capital with him so that they could live together and live a happy and simple life.

Zheng Yunu was already in love, and naturally she was willing to accept the proposal from her lover. However, she was worried that her parents would not want her to marry Deng Lei, who came from the capital.

Because she had always been in poor health, her parents were reluctant to let her marry far away. They had already found several families for her in Yujing City. They were all simple families with no disputes and were honest people. She just had to choose one from them and marry into it.

After she expressed her concerns, Deng Lei persuaded her to elope with him.

"I'm worried that once I leave, my uncle and aunt will give you to someone else. If that's the case, I might as well take you away now. The thought of us parting makes me unable to sleep or eat, and I think Yu Nu must feel the same way.

"Yunu, why don't you come with me to the capital? I know this isn't logical, but I really can't bear to be separated from you. When we're married and have a child, I'll bring you back to apologize to my parents-in-law. By then, for the sake of our chubby grandson, I believe my parents-in-law won't be angry with us anymore."

Overwhelmed by Deng Lei's sweet words, Zheng Yunu followed him in a daze.

She didn't expect that she would never come back after she left.

Deng Lei was no scofflaw from a wealthy Beijing family. He was just a con man who relied on his good looks to cheat people everywhere. Luo Shi approached him, and after paying a small fee, Deng Lei took the job.

Luo promised him that after the matter was completed, he would pay him another sum of money, enough for him to live a worry-free life for the rest of his life.

After Deng Lei tricked Zheng Yunu into his trap, he took her on a boat and left Yujing City. Along the way, although Zheng Yunu was a little nervous, as soon as she saw Deng Lei, she was filled with infinite longing for her future life.

Unfortunately, reality dealt her a heavy blow.

As soon as they left Yujing City, Deng Lei revealed his true face in front of her. Not only did he order her around, he also snatched away all the valuables from her.

In order to fit his persona as a young master from an aristocratic family in the imperial capital, the ship that Deng Lei took her on was very luxurious. In addition to guest rooms for people to stay in, the ship also provided a lot of entertainment activities.

Gambling on stones is one of them.

Deng Lei exchanged the things he had robbed from Zheng Yunu for silver and used them to gamble on stones. Naturally, he lost everything and was left with nothing.

In the end, Deng Lei was so crazy that he wanted Zheng Yunu to accompany guests to earn money for gambling.

Zheng Yunu refused to comply and fell ill during the struggle and passed out.

Deng Lei didn't want to spend money on Zheng Yunu's medical treatment at all. After all, her employer said that she didn't care whether Zheng Yunu was dead or alive, and she must not be allowed to return to Yujing City.

Not only that, he also took away a jade bead from her neck.

He originally wanted to sell the jade beads for money, but the price offered by the buyer was too low, so he did not sell them for the time being. However, he had no money and his gambling addiction came back, so he went back to his old job - stealing.

The person who stole it was the person who had previously intended to buy the jade beads.

As a result, not only did he not steal anything, he was also beaten up. Deng Lei was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. The blood stained the jade beads that he had snatched from Zheng Yunu and was actually absorbed by them!

From then on, Deng Lei was like a cheat, winning every bet! It was as if he had opened his eyes.

It's not that he has opened his third eye, but that he has a golden finger called a jade bead. When gambling on stones, when he touches the jade rough material, if there is jade inside, the bead will become hot. The better the quality of the jade, the higher the temperature of the bead.

Otherwise, Yuzhu will have no reaction.

This jade bead was originally left by Zheng family's ancestor, gambling king Zheng Du. It was passed down from generation to generation. The Zheng family did not discover the magical features of the jade bead and only regarded it as a relatively rare imperial green jade bead.

Because there is a saying that jade can nourish people, Zheng's father gave the jade beads to his daughter.

Zheng Yunu has worn it since she was a child and has never taken it off.

Deng Lei had the jade bead as a cheating device for gambling on jadeite, and he was a big shot in the field. The price of jadeite he bet on went up every time, and the jadeite he opened was snatched up on the spot. He became rich overnight.

However, he also knew that a big tree attracts the wind, and being too prominent is not a good thing, so he stopped at the right time.

Deng Lei, who had become rich overnight, returned to the room, only to find that Zheng Yunu, whom he had abandoned, was dead!

The pearl was stolen from Zheng Yunu. Deng Lei had already experienced its benefits. As long as he had this pearl, he would have no worries about getting rich in the future. How many beauties would he have when he got there?

Therefore, he would never allow the pearl to slip away from his hands again. It would be best for Zheng Yunu, the original owner, to be killed once and for all!

Now that Zheng Yunu is dead, it saves him a lot of effort.

Squatting beside Zheng Yunu's body, Deng Lei muttered to himself, "Don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for having such a vicious sister-in-law. She paid me to seduce you, and she arranged the opportunity for us to meet, so that I could take you away and never return to Yujing City. Even if it wasn't me, it would have been someone else, so just go with peace of mind."

Zheng Yunu, whose soul had left her body after death, almost went crazy when she heard this.

She thought she was just too stupid to be deceived by the man, and she only hated herself for being blind and trusting the wrong person. She didn't expect that all this was arranged by her sister-in-law! The sister-in-law who was always gentle and kind in front of her!

She was already dead, so Deng Lei wouldn't lie to her corpse. So, was all this true?!

Why? Why did my sister-in-law do that?

Zheng Yunu is not stupid, she is just too naive and trusting. However, after experiencing a series of events, she can no longer be as naive as before. She quickly figures out why her sister-in-law Luo did this.

There is always a reason to harm someone, and she has never had any bad relations with her sister-in-law, so the only reason is profit! Her sister-in-law doesn't want her parents to give her such a large dowry!
