Situ Shanping, who left the Situ family, only felt that he was like a bird that had been locked in a cage.

Now he has managed to escape from the home that makes him so sad, and he is happier than anyone else.

He felt so free.

He left Situ's house, left the town, came to the big city, rented a shop with the money he brought from home, and after completing the relevant procedures, he opened a Chinese medicine hall.

With what he learned, he quickly made a name for himself and became a well-known doctor.

Later, by chance, he got acquainted with the Li family, who were also famous medical families in the city.

Soon after, he met the daughter of the Li family, who was his second wife, Li Yuwan.

Li Yuwan is also a young woman who has received a new ideological education, so the two were deeply attracted to each other the moment they met.

The head of the Li family at that time, that is, Li Yuwan's grandfather Li Qingsong, appreciated Situ Shanping very much, and also learned Shanping's identity during the exchange.

Her grandfather was very open-minded and didn't mind that Situ Shanping had a marriage.

Soon, the two came together under the intentional mediation of the Li family, and finally received a marriage certificate at the relevant institution.

It is worth mentioning that although Situ Shanping and Bai Shumei have visited the church, there is no written proof.

There are many people in the older generation who are like Bai Shumei, just de facto marriages.

A year later, Situ Cao's eldest uncle, Situ Wende, was born.

And Situ Cao's second uncle, Situ Wenliang, was born in the third year after the two were together.

Situ Shanping and Li Yuwan are in free love after all, so they have been very happy together in the past few years.

But one day, he suddenly received a letter from Wen Bo, the housekeeper of the Situ family.

In the letter, Wen Bo told Situ Shanping that since he left, there were many things going on in the house, and he couldn't say anything as an outsider, but he still hoped that he would come back to see.

Although when he left Situ's house, Situ Shanping once thought that he would probably never go back again in his life.

However, after all, Situ Shanping is not a hard-hearted person.

Pondering over and over the very euphemistic words of Wember's letter, he had a faint worry in his heart one day.

First, he was worried about whether there was really something wrong at home, and second, he hadn't been home for three or four years, and he still wanted to bring Situ Wende and Wenliang home to show his parents and elders.

At the same time, he also hoped that the elders in the family could recognize his wife Li Yuwan, because at that time, she was already pregnant with Situ Cao's father Situ Wenyong in her belly.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to take Li Yuwan back to Situ's house to have a look.

However, when he returned home, when he saw everything at home, Situ Shanping finally realized how stupid he was to leave so hastily!

The reason why the Situ family was prominent at that time was due to two reasons, one was medical skills, and the other was the family-run rare Chinese herbal medicine business.

His family was highly skilled in medicine, and everyone knew that at that time, only high-ranking officials and nobles were qualified to let people from the Situ family diagnose and treat him, and patients had to visit him in person.

If you have to ask their doctor to visit the doctor, you have to spend a lot of money, and the price is not what ordinary people can imagine.

Of course, occasionally the Situ family will also see a doctor for ordinary people for free depending on their mood, but this situation is very random, and it depends on luck whether they can meet it.

However, because of the strange regulations of the Situ family, not only did they not scare away the patients, but their reputation became more and more famous.

As for the profits of some rare Chinese medicinal materials, needless to say, with the blessing of the Situ family's signboard, it is difficult for them not to make money.

Situ Shanyuan thought that with his sister's ability to be good-looking, it should not be difficult to develop and grow the Situ family.

However, when he went back, he found that the Situ family was no longer the Situ family in the past.

The gate that was once extremely solemn and atmospheric is now covered with cobwebs, and the door is full of birds.

He didn't know what was going on at home, so he hurried into the hall to ask someone.

Just as he passed by the firewood house where he had been kept, he heard a slight movement.

Situ Shanping hurriedly opened the door of the firewood room from the outside.

Only then did he see Wember, who had sent him a letter before.

Wember was locked up in a firewood room, his hands and feet were chained by wrist-thick chains, and he was so starved that he was reduced to skin and bones, and he looked very pitiful.

Situ Shanping's face changed, and he suddenly realized something.

He first turned his head and asked his wife Li Yuwan to leave Situ's house with the child, and hurried to the town to report to the official.

Then he quickly approached Wember and removed the cloth from his mouth.

Under inquiry, Situ Shanping learned.

Since he left the Situ family, Bai Shumei has skillfully sat in the position of the steward of the Situ family with the weak identity of being abandoned by her husband.

On the one hand, although Situ Shanping's sister Situ Shanrong is capable, after all, she has been spoiled by the elders in the family since she was a child, and her personality is a little perverse and a little domineering.

On the other hand, Bai Shumei's tutoring since she was a child was the opposite of Shanrong, while she was taught the traditional concepts of virtuous and virtuous, three from four virtues, she also watched her mother compete with several other little wives for favor and how various elders intrigued.

Even in the end, she witnessed her mother lose the fight with her little wife and committed suicide.

Therefore, Bai Shumei's personality naturally has two completely different characteristics.

Extreme virtuous gentleness and extreme revenge hatred.

At the beginning, Bai Shumei followed Situ Shanrong's temperament in everything, no matter how unreasonable things she did, she always tolerated her, and spoke for her in front of Situ Shanping's parents and elders.

Slowly, she gained the trust of Shanrong.

Later, although Shanrong had the ability to run the family, after all, she was used to growing up since she was a child and was unwilling to work too hard, so she gradually handed over everything in the Situ family to Bai Shumei to take care of.

The turning point of the matter was when Situ Shanrong was secretly in love with a son in a small town, but was finally ruthlessly abandoned.

At that time, Shanrong only felt that the sky had fallen.

She borrowed wine to kill her sorrows, and she hugged her head and cried.

At this time, Bai Shumei appeared as a bosom friend.

She appeared in front of Shanrong and brought her something.

Bai Shumei told her that as long as she lit that thing and took a sip, any troubles could be forgotten in an instant.

Grace finally accepted it.

That's right.

That thing was the famous tobacco soil at that time.

Later, she became addicted.

She found that she couldn't do without the kind of thing Bai Shumei gave her.

As soon as the smoke is lit, she can forget all the unhappy things, including the man who caused her pain.

Everything after that, I think everyone can guess it.
