Chapter 1
Suzhou Taicang Mansion, Qingshui Lane.

In a row of low houses facing the street, a thin girl was standing in front of the door with a slop bucket. She tremblingly looked at the four or five big and round yamen servants in front of her, her lips turned white with fright.

The leader of the black-faced yamen servant said: "Your elder brother injured Young Master Wang and ruined Young Master Wang's marriage contract. The one who killed Master Wang is now afraid to leave the house. After doing such a thing, he still has the face to stand here in front of you." Jiang Guohuo? Do you really not know how to write the word dead?"

The girl still shrank and dared not speak.

At this time, a woman's weak voice came from the half-closed door in the short house.

"My lords, it's because my children are ignorant. When I recover, I will definitely come to the door to make amends to Mr. Wang in person..."

The black-faced yamen servant sneered, kicked open the door, and saw the woman lying on the bed with a look of disdain on his face.

The woman struggled to get up, perhaps because of the cold wind blowing in from outside, she started to cough violently.

After a while, the woman's palm was stained with a trace of bright red...

When the servants saw this, they took a few steps back in fright, and the thin girl said, "Doctor Sun said that my mother has tuberculosis..."

When the guards heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they scrambled away from the low house.

The woman lay heavily back on the bed, looked at the leaking roof, and murmured: "This elm-like Ah Heng, when he tells a lie, others have to believe it..."

The girl ignored the woman in the house, she carried the slop bucket to the river by herself, and poured the sewage into it.

She looked at her own reflection in the Qingshui River.

She came into this body in a daze, almost fell into the river and drowned.

The original name was Gu Heng, and there was an elder sister and an elder brother above him, both of whom were dragons and phoenixes. The elder brother Gu Changfeng was selected as a scholar at a young age, and the elder sister Gu Rong was even more beautiful and intelligent, attracting many talented men to marry him.

The original mother, Mrs. Chen, was very fond of the two of them. She put in so much effort for Gu Rong's marriage and entrusted several layers of relationships. Just now, she got engaged to Mr. Wang, a high-ranking official in Linjiang, but Gu Heng's high-minded The arrogant elder sister didn't like the young master of the Wang family at all.

He actually messed with his brother and took him away from marriage.

Now Gu Heng and the Chen family are left here to support Linjiang. The Chen family has spent all their wealth and just paid off the Wang family's betrothal gift. Unable to swallow this breath, he came to the door again and again to find trouble.

Chen has no choice but to pretend to be sick, but this is not a long-term solution.

Even so, Mrs. Chen still talks about her two children every day.

Yuanchen is not very close to his older brothers and sisters, after all, these two brothers and sisters have been too dazzling since they were young, while Yuanchen is a bit dull and ordinary.

Gu Heng didn't feel bad for the two of them, but felt that they were a little too bold in this ancient time with strict etiquette and laws.

It looks like it came from time travel...

After Gu Heng poured out the swill, he returned to the house with the bucket. At this time, Mrs. Chen had already got out of bed. She took out a bag of soft water from her bag and handed it to Gu Heng, only to hear her say: " Ah Heng, quietly go to the pawn shop in the east of the city and exchange these things for money, and we will leave tonight."

Gu Heng nodded.

Taking advantage of the dusk, when the sky was getting dark, she ran to the pawnshop and sold some money.

Taking advantage of the night, he took his mother in a boat and left the Linjiang of Taicang Prefecture.

They have very little money on them, so they can only work in the lowest cabin, which is full of trackers doing manual labor and going to business, and the two of them dare not do more, lest they get into trouble.

So I just nestled in a small compartment and didn't dare to say a word.

The ancient passenger ships are very interesting. The lower-class passenger ships have no beds, only small compartments with small curtains on them, only a few windows are opened, and they dare not light candles. There are many, so the taste is extremely bad.

Gu Heng reduced his breathing rate and nestled in his mother's arms.

I only heard Mrs. Chen muttering: "If your sister is willing to marry that prince, why should we suffer so much?"

Gu Heng was suddenly helpless.

"If it wasn't for my mother's persecution of my sister, maybe with my sister's intelligence and beauty, my sister would not have made such a plan."

Chen shi sighed slightly when she heard the words, she really loved Gu Rong in her heart, and knew that Gu Rong was arrogant, but Gu Rong suffered from such a thing, so naturally she couldn't be the same as before.

Chen said: "It's not like you don't know, your sister..."

Gu Heng frowned suddenly, as if something happened in it?
Mrs. Chen seemed to know that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly coughed lightly.

"Don't talk anymore, we're not out to play."

Gu Heng was immediately upset, it was clear that she spoke first.

They stayed on this boat for half a month, and Gu Heng felt extremely uncomfortable.

When she got used to spitting, they also arrived in Nanjing City.

Mrs. Chen took Gu Heng off the boat, they had to stay in Nanjing for a while and earn some money in order to get together the travel expenses to Beijing.

Speaking of which, her mother, Mrs. Chen, still has some skills. Mrs. Chen knows a little about gynecology, and is especially good at delivering babies. It is said that it was passed down from Mrs. Chen's mother.

Before that, their family had a pretty good life in Taicang Mansion, Suzhou.

Gu Heng begged Chen to teach her, but Chen was the boss who was unwilling.

Mrs. Chen always said that if she learned these crafts, she would be in the top class. Gu Heng felt that she didn't have the ability to marry into a wealthy family.
But Chen still didn't teach.

After they got off the pier, they ate something among the vendors on the east side of the pier.

The two only ordered a bowl of noodles, but the shopkeeper refilled the soup for free when they saw how pitiful the mother and daughter were.

After eating and drinking enough, the two packed up and set out on the road.

When Chen was young, he followed his mother to walk in the rivers and lakes for a period of time, but he also knew some famous people.

So they have places to go to in Nanjing.

In the Chunxi Opera Troupe by the Qinhuai River, Mrs. Chen helped a famous opera singer deliver the baby when she was young. The actor was pregnant with twins in an improper position. She was about to enter the gate of hell. Thanks to Mrs. Chen, she survived.

However, a pair of idiots were born.

Gu Heng thought to himself that the child had been deprived of oxygen for too long and had damaged his brain.

The mother and daughter were standing outside the door with big bags and small bags. Mrs. Chen knocked on the door. After a while, a kid with makeup opened the door. Seeing the mother and daughter in tattered clothes, she immediately lowered her face.

"Are you here to flee?"

Mrs. Chen nodded, and was about to speak, when the little boy slammed the door, and Mrs. Chen got angry immediately.

The next moment the door opened, only to see a good-looking young man opened the door, he looked Chen up and down, and finally said: "You are... the mother Chen who used to help the senior sister deliver the baby?"
