The prince of Nanwang took Du Wei to live in Wanfu Temple, but Du Mansion was in a hurry for three days.

Du Yifan's wedding is imminent, Du Mansion is full of lights, Mrs. Du personally arranged the new house, originally the day before welcoming the newlyweds, there should be a woman's family to come to Du Mansion to make a house together, make a bed, for some reason, Tao Mansion did not send someone over.

Du Fu didn't mind when he arrived, and after everything was tidied up, he pasted couplets and happy words on the door and outside the room, and hung a long strip of red cloth on the lintel, embroidered with auspicious words.

Mrs. Du was checking the menu for the wedding day with the housekeeper's mother in the courtyard, and suddenly someone outside came to report: "The second young master is back." ”

Mrs. Du hurriedly put down the menu in her hand and said happily: "Great, I was worried that Zi Xi would not be able to come back in time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Zixi came in from outside the courtyard, dressed as a scholar in a green shirt and long shirt, holding a folding fan, smiling and crooked, and stepped forward to give a salute: "Zixi has seen my mother." ”

Mrs. Du happily pulled him into the house and asked him in detail what he had seen and heard on the way back from the academy.

Du Zixi accompanied Mrs. Du to talk, and suddenly said: "Just now I came back from outside, rode through the opposite street, and saw a man kneeling outside the door of our house, looking at the back seems to be a little familiar, a little like my third brother Du Zhenghong, but I was in a hurry at the time, and I didn't look closely." ”

Mrs. Du couldn't help but be stunned: "That person kneeling outside the door of our house?" ”

Du Zixi nodded, "Xu is still there." ”

Mrs. Du thought for a moment, then summoned Mother Zhang in her room and whispered a few words.

Zhang's mother hurriedly went out of the house.

There was a man kneeling at the street outside the main gate of Du Mansion, although his clothes were dirty, he could still see his original luxurious appearance.

He hung his head and knelt motionless outside the gate of Du Mansion, and all the passers-by pointed at him.

This person is the third young master of Du Mansion, Du Zhenghong.

Since he was known to Master Du for framing his eldest brother and Du Wei's ill intentions, he took Xiangnan and his son to be separated from the mansion and went to live alone.

Although the hastily purchased mansion is smaller, with his net worth, it is still many times stronger than those ordinary rich families in the city.

But he has been used to extravagance since he was a child, and Xiangnan is also a woman who doesn't know how to save and pays attention to extravagance, so their daily expenses are still the same as they used to live in Du Mansion.

Originally, Xiangnan also wanted to buy a larger courtyard, but for some reason, every time they were optimistic about a house, it would be bought by someone else the next day, so they delayed for a long time and did not find a suitable corner.

Du Zhenghong sent people to Cong Mansion every day to inquire about Cong Mingtang's news, and it cost a lot of money to go back and forth, and finally someone sent him Cong Mingtang's words, saying that there was a new restaurant to open at the intersection of the south of the city, and he was allowed to join the cooperative operation.

Du Zhenghong was overjoyed, and immediately raised all the cash in his hand and prepared to invest in the restaurant to do business.

He saw the restaurant in person, and finally got the paperwork in his hands, but just when he was preparing to open a new restaurant to do business, news suddenly came from Cong Mingtang, saying that the middleman had run away with the money he had invested in the dry shares, and the documents in his hand were fake.

Du Zhenghong was dumbfounded.

went to Cong Mansion to find Cong Mingtang to get an idea, but the other party closed the door and didn't see him, so he only sent a message to him, asking him to raise money and buy shares again, otherwise he would take back the restaurant.

Du Zhenghong vaguely felt that something was wrong and wanted to find him a theory, but he was beaten out of the house by the people of Cong Mansion.

Du Zhenghong was angry and wanted to sue the official, but before he could reach the door of the official mansion, he was knocked on a sticky stick from behind, and when he woke up, it was late, his head was broken, and all the clothes and money on his body were stolen.

finally moved back to his home, full of grievances, and wanted to find someone to complain about his grievances and tell him what happened today, but as soon as he entered the yard, he saw the sound of men laughing from Xiangnan's house.

He rushed into the house, only to see a strange man sitting on the pit, and Xiang Nan hurriedly explained that this was her cousin in the south, and because she had no livelihood, she came all the way to her, just asking him to help her.

Du Zhenghong naturally didn't believe his cousin's nonsense, so he drove the man away on the spot and scolded Xiangnan again.

Whoever thought that this was the beginning of his nightmare.

In order to raise money again for business, he had to sell some antiques, calligraphy and paintings around him, but fortunately, his family was still very rich, and he quickly scraped together the silver.

This time, he didn't go to Cong Mingtang again, but set up a small cloth village by himself, because he was an old business, and he was handy in operation.

The new store opened for three days, but there was not even a single customer at the door, and he was physically and mentally exhausted every day, and when he returned home at night, Xiangnan cried in front of him and asked him to help his cousin find a livelihood.

Du Zhenghong was annoyed and angry, and hit Xiangnan for the first time, and the two turned their faces because of this, and no one paid attention to anyone for a few days.

Du Zhenghong was exhausted, and finally fell ill, slept groggily for several days, and woke up feeling dry mouth, so he called people to drink saliva.

Who knew that he shouted for a long time, but no one paid attention.

He finally managed to get up by himself, but the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.

The house was empty, all the valuable furniture, even the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities on the walls, and the rare varieties of spider plants on the shelves, were all gone.

At first, he thought that there was a thief at home, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the door, wanting to see if Xiangnan and the child were safe, but when he entered Xiangnan's house, he found that it was not only his house, but he was left alone in the entire courtyard, Xiangnan, the child, the nurse, the maid in the yard, and the mother-in-law...... It's all gone.

He shouted, but the room was empty with only his echo......

He was sick for several days before he could barely walk on the ground, and when he was about to go out to inquire about Xiangnan's news, a few men with big shoulders and round waists suddenly came outside, saying that this mansion was already theirs, and asked Du Zhenghong to make room for it quickly.

After asking, Du Zhenghong learned that Xiangnan took advantage of his illness to move all the things in the house, sold the yard again, took the child, and left the capital with her 'cousin'.

This time, he finally realized what despair is.

He couldn't understand why Shannan would betray him.

He gave her everything, but she took the child away when he needed him the most.

Suddenly, he remembered that when Xiangnan had just given birth to their child, there had been a rumor in the house that the child had been born two months earlier and was not his.

However, Xiangnan later told him that he was born prematurely, and he was experiencing the taste of being a first-time father at the time, so he didn't think about it so much, and the rumors were forcibly quelled by him.

Now that I think about it, the child's temperament and appearance really don't resemble him at all.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more anxious he became, and after being driven out of the yard by those people, there was no place to stay, and it was good to say during the day, but the autumn night was getting colder, so he had to grit his teeth and shrink in the leeward under the bridge hole.

The last bit of silver on his body was also stolen by a thief when he fell asleep one night, and he was penniless and cornered, and subconsciously came to the gate of Du's mansion.

When I looked up, I saw that Du Mansion was dressed in red and hung with colors, and I was beaming, and I inquired about the people nearby, only to know that it was Du Yifan's wedding tomorrow.

The happy event in Du Mansion is approaching, but it has nothing to do with him.

In desperation, he knelt outside the door of Du's mansion.
