But once Gu Yuanjing fell, Song Tingshen took the lion's share of the Gu family's money and property, and the rest was almost all divided up by the Qing Gang. How could they have any money left to hire servants!

Li Jinyuan, who had just woken up from a nap in the room, heard these words when she walked out to the living room. Her eyes were red, and she spoke angrily and angrily while protecting her stomach.

"Mom, how can you say that? It's not me who caused this family's downfall!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu's mood, which had finally calmed down, became irritated, and she pointed at Li Jinyuan.

"It's all your fault, you jinx. If you hadn't had the nerve to enter our Gu family, would my son have been so unlucky to die at the hands of someone else?!"

Gu Yuanwen stood in the middle tiredly and tried to persuade, "Mom, calm down. Jin Yuan, don't make Mom angry. She is just too sad."

Mrs. Gu was relentless, "How do you expect me to be calm? My most proud son is dead. Look at what kind of jinx you found! If you had married Shen Shuyi, would Shen Shuyi have known Song Tingshen, a wild man? If Song Tingshen is not in Haicheng, nothing will happen to my son!"

Back in the room, Li Jinyuan turned her back to Gu Yuanwen and wiped her tears.

Gu Yuanwen pinched his temples, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "Jinyuan, you also know the current situation of this family. Just bear with Mom's sadness."

"Gu Yuanwen, are you still a human being? I'm pregnant with your child, can you say a word for me?!"

Li Jinyuan took a deep breath. She could see that Gu Yuanwen had become much colder towards her. Thinking about how Shen Shuyi was so lucky to marry the powerful Young Marshal Song, but she suffered so much injustice in the Gu family, she felt mixed emotions for a while.

Thinking of the way Gu Yuanwen stared at Shen Shuyi without blinking at the banquet that day, Li Jinyuan became even angrier.

"Gu Yuanwen, tell me the truth. Are you thinking about Chen Shuyi? After all, she was your ex-fiancée, and you were childhood sweethearts..."

Gu Yuanwen looked at her with disappointment, "Jinyuan, why have you become so suspicious? I remember you were not like this when we were studying abroad."

When Li Jinyuan heard this, his anger completely exploded.

"Am I the one who has changed, or have you? Do you think the Gu family is still the same Gu family as before, and you are still the same Second Young Master Gu? I haven't even started to dislike you yet, but you're already disappointed in me?!"

Gu Yuanwen felt that she was unreasonable and that he could no longer communicate with her. They no longer had any topics to talk about.

"Go to bed early. I'll go write."

The Gu family had no savings left, and he couldn't find a job, so he had to contribute articles to earn a living.

Li Jinyuan couldn't control her tears any more as she watched him leave. She felt dizzy and had severe pain in her stomach.

Before Gu Yuanwen walked out of the house, he heard a "bang". He turned around and saw Li Jinyuan fainted on the ground.

…

The night was as dark as ink, and the sky of Haicheng was covered with thick dark clouds.

Commander Sun's mansion is surrounded by high walls and is heavily guarded.

Inside the mansion, Commander Sun was sitting in the study, holding a glass of red wine in his hand with a gloomy expression. In front of him was a secret report, which read: "Song Tingshen has taken control of most of the forces in Haicheng. The Qing Gang is divided and the situation is critical."

"Song Tingshen..." Commander Sun whispered the name, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "How dare a mere bandit from Fengzhou stir up trouble in Haicheng?"

He threw the wine glass to the ground, and the red wine splashed all over the floor, as glaring as blood.

"Someone come here!" he shouted sternly.

The subordinate hurried forward, "Commander, what do you want?"

Commander Sun pinched his brows and asked, "Last time I asked you to send someone to assassinate him, why haven't you sent back any news yet?"

The subordinate's body trembled, "Reporting to the commander, Song Tingshen's side is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for our people to get close to him. If we find an opportunity to assassinate him, there will be no return."

"But...he got married recently so he should be a bit relaxed. We can start with his wife and kidnap her first. Why should we be afraid that he won't surrender..."

Commander Sun thought for a moment, "Well, this is a good idea."

"It's just that Commander... there's news from the front that the enemy is invading. If we can cooperate with Song Tingshen to fight the enemy..."

"Humph!" Commander Sun interrupted with a cold snort, "Song Tingshen has evil ambitions. If we don't get rid of him now, he will become a big trouble!"

"Send more people. If the assassination fails, you can kill his wife to vent your anger!"

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

The subordinate left and the room became dead silent.

Suddenly, he heard screams outside.

Commander Sun's heart sank. He stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the door. However, before his hand touched the doorknob, the door was pushed open from the outside.

A slender figure stood against the light, his face hidden in the shadows, only his eyes, cold as a knife, piercing people's hearts.

"Commander Sun, long time no see." Song Tingshen's voice was low and calm, but with a sense of oppression.

Commander Sun's pupils suddenly shrank, "Song Tingshen?! Why are you here?"

Song Tingshen walked slowly into the study, and the door behind him was closed silently by the guards he brought with him. He glanced at the broken glass and red wine on the ground, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Commander Sun, it seems that you are not in a good mood tonight."

Commander Sun suppressed his panic and said, "Song Tingshen, do you think you can get out alive after breaking into my mansion? Those outside are all my people!"

"Oh? Really?" Song Tingshen chuckled and raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the door of the study was pushed open again, and several soldiers in black uniforms came in, escorting several of Commander Sun's confidants. All of them were seriously injured.

Commander Sun's face turned pale instantly, "You...you have planned this a long time ago?"
