Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan looked at the file in her hand and sighed more than once. Fortunately, she was divorced in this life, otherwise she didn't know what kind of life she would live. Just by looking at the words on the file, she could tell what kind of life they lived, and she couldn't help but sigh.

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Yanyan said, "Come in."

Liu Wu then pushed the door open and walked into the room, bowing and saying, "Greetings to the young lady."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "Why is a soldier like Gu Beichen coming to the government office? This is not the place for him to be."

Liu Wu said respectfully, "Miss, Gu Beichen wanted to borrow money from a neighbor in the government office, but the neighbor didn't want to see him at all. He couldn't even enter the government office and was driven back."

Liu Yanyan's eyes flashed with contempt, "Didn't he move to Poor Alley with the money from selling the General's ancestral house? Why would he come out to borrow money? This house is worth a lot of money, right? If he saves a little, he won't be unable to make ends meet. Even if he doesn't save, he can still get by for a few years."

Liu Wu said with disdain, "Originally he still had some money, but Gu Beiming was harmed by Gu Beichen and lost his status as a scholar. He hated him so much that he went to brothels and gambling houses to play, lost all his money, and ran away! Gu Beichen had to pay back the remaining several hundred taels, so Gu Beichen borrowed money from everyone he knew before coming to the government office to look for his neighbors."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Okay, I understand. I'll look at the files. You go guard the door."

Liu Wu then bowed and walked out, closing the door.

When Liu Yanyan saw Liu Wu leaving, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. She couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. She murmured to herself, "Retribution! It's really retribution. That's great, that's great. Gu Beichen, Gu Beichen, what are you going to do now? Haha, you can't laugh like that. It will be bad if people hear it." But the smile on her lips could not be wiped off for the whole day.

Evening at the Yamen Gate

As soon as Liu Yanyan walked out of the yamen gate, she was stopped by you, Gu Beichen. Before she could react, Liu Wu pushed Gu Beichen to the ground.

Gu Beichen was pressed to the ground, his face pressed hard against the ground, and he said with difficulty, "Yan Yan, Master Liu, I beg you to help me for the sake of our past friendship. I don't want much, just lend me 1000 taels of silver, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

The corners of Liu Yanyan's mouth twitched unconsciously. She didn't know where he got the confidence from. She felt that there was affection between them, so she simply ignored him and left.

Gu Beichen was unwilling to give up, so he pulled Liu Wu away and knelt down in front of Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan was frightened by his sudden action, and said angrily, "We are divorced. I won't lend you money. What kind of relationship can we have? We are just strangers." After that, she ignored him and left and got on the carriage.

Gu Beichen saw Liu Yanyan leaving and stared at her in despair, "Liu Yanyan, don't blame me for being so heartless. When I get up again, I will tear you into pieces."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wu kicked Gu Beichen in the face and knocked him down on the stone steps at the gate of the government office. "Don't let your imagination run wild. It's only been a short time since our young lady divorced you, and you've become a stray dog. Don't you understand? Everything you had before was given to you by our young lady. You can't see the situation clearly."

Several yamen runners nearby watched Gu Beichen being beaten, lowered their heads and looked around, but didn't look at him.

Gu Beichen stared at Liu Yanyan who was leaving in the carriage with a look of despair, "Impossible, impossible, how could I rely on her, I have worked hard for everything by myself."

He walked towards the courtyard where he was renting in a daze. On the way, he met a few fat thugs who stopped him and said, "Master Gu, you should return the remaining 600 taels of silver today! Otherwise, the amount will not be the same tomorrow."

Gu Beichen said in a daze, "Didn't you say 300 taels of silver? Besides, this money was borrowed by Gu Beiming. Go! Catch him! It has nothing to do with us. You can do whatever you want with him after you catch him."

The leading thug He Ping said with a fake smile, "Master Gu, if you can find Gu Beiming, we don't mind collecting the debt from him. But since we can't find him, we can only look for you, our dear brother."

Gu Beichen looked desperate. "Please give me some leniency for a few days. I will definitely be able to get the money together. Please, give me some leniency for a few days. I will definitely be able to pay it back. I used to be a general. There will always be some colleagues who will lend me money."

He Ping said with a fake smile, "Okay, I'll give you two more days, otherwise we will come to your house to collect the debt in person. I don't know if the old lady and your concubines can bear this blow."

Gu Beichen said flatteringly, "Okay, I will definitely pay it back. I will definitely pay it back."

He Ping smiled and left with a few thugs. He was not afraid that Gu Beichen would default on his debt. After all, who would dare to do this business without some support?

Gu Beichen watched them leave and spat fiercely, "You are such a dog that looks down on others. Before, you wanted to kneel down at my feet when you saw me. You are so mean. Now you want to beat your master instead."

Gu Beichen walked back to the mixed-living yard depressed. Seeing the mess inside, he couldn't help but frown. When he walked into his own house, he saw his mother's miserable state. He couldn't help but complain to Lin Rou, "Lin Rou, why are you treating mother like this? Look at how thin she is. Mother is not in good health. If you don't take good care of her, what will happen to her health?"

Lin Rou cried softly, "Brother Beichen, why do you think of me like this? How dare I treat my aunt badly? Everything we eat and use at home is given to my aunt first, how could I treat her badly? Wuuuuu! Look at my hands, they are so rough."

Gu Beichen looked very distressed, "You have to take better care of mom, otherwise mom will not be able to hold on. I didn't say you are not good, I know you are working hard, please understand me."

Mei, Lan and Zhu, Ju who were standing beside them watched this scene, lowered their heads and curled their lips. It was already this late, and they were still being so disgusted.

Gu Beichen stepped forward and looked at his mother. "Mom, don't worry. I will definitely be able to borrow the money. I will definitely find a way."

The old lady held his hand, looking distressed, "What can you do? There is nothing in the house, how can we return it?"

Gu Beichen patted his mother's hand and subconsciously glanced at his two concubines, Meilan and Zhuju. "Mother, I have a way. Don't worry, I will find a way."

Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum were keenly aware of Gu Beichen's malicious gaze and secretly despised him in their hearts.

The old lady saw his eyes and calmed down. "As long as you have a way, you can still be trusted."

Lin Rou looked at the two people with ill intentions and lowered her head, not daring to speak, for fear that they would target her. After all, her documents for taking a concubine were still with Gu Beichen.
