In Nanhuai City in the eighth year of the Republic of China, various forces were secretly wrestling over the alliance.After the death of the acting president, the northern warlord Cheng Jun intended to compete for the position of president and issued a joint invitation to the armies from all over the country.Yu Zhongquan, the commander-in-chief of the Nanhuai Army, summoned his subordinates for discussion. Everyone was worried, but he felt that if he refused to make a move, he would have no chance of winning.Just as we were getting to the critical point, a parrot flew into the hall.When he learned that this was the bird kept in the office by his fifth son, Yu Changxuan, and that his son had been on leave for many days, Yu Zhongquan became angry on the spot.

Yu Changxuan was in the gambling house at this time, surrounded by a group of men and women who wanted to please him.He won money one after another and asked to increase the bet.Taking advantage of his happiness, Li Boren wanted to find a job in the transportation department for a relative, and someone else invited him to sit at the head of a bank dinner.Yu Changxuan's face darkened, and no one dared to mention it again.His reputation for living and drinking outside has already spread throughout Nanhuai.

The Yu family was offering incense to their deceased relatives, but Yu Changxuan returned home smelling of alcohol and with lipstick marks on his face.He was used to it when Yu Zhongquan wanted to use family law, and even took the initiative to hand him a feather duster.Zhao Baoru had given birth to three sons and had already lost two. He was reluctant to let his only remaining child get hurt again, so he hurriedly stopped him.The third aunt, Chen Wanqiao, secretly pinched her daughter Wanxuan and cried. The child's cries interrupted the punishment, and Zhao Baoru quickly asked someone to help her son back to his room.

The mother applied medicine to Yu Changxuan, while Yu Jinxuan handed out blood stasis removing ointment beside her.Seeing his eldest daughter-in-law Jun Minru, Zhao Baoru remembered that she had lost Yu Mingxuan just two months after getting married.Jun Minru did not complain and only advised her mother-in-law to take care of herself.However, Yu Qixuan felt that the beating of the fifth brother was not unjust, and compared it with Beixin's Xiao Beichen, which made Yu Changxuan even more irritated.He asked his family to leave, and then asked Gu Rui to accompany him out.On the other hand, Chen Wanqiao went to the ancestral hall to comfort Yu Zhongquan. He did not deny that he deliberately made the child cry, but only said that he did not want him to get angry because of disciplining his son.

It was raining heavily outside, and Gu Ruitong asked if he still wanted to go to Guanyin Pavilion to worship Yu Mingxuan.Yu Changxuan was silent and asked him to turn around, but a girl suddenly appeared in front of the car.After parking the car, he saw the other person squatting in the rain picking up scattered silver coins, so he got out of the car to help.The girl thanked her and left. Yu Changxuan picked up the ornaments she had left behind and showed a rare smile.

This girl's name is Ye Pingjun, a student of Mingde Girls' School.Her mother, Ye Shuwan, suffers from lung disease, and the family’s savings are becoming increasingly difficult to support treatment.Her friend Song Hanzhi gave her money and put a few pieces of candy in her handkerchief.Ye Pingjun promised to pay back the money when he found a job. When he put the candy in his mouth, his face felt a little relaxed.

At the auction, the Tao sisters were also there.In order to please Tao Ziyi, Master Tong spent 450,000 to take a picture of the necklace, but Yu Changxuan suddenly asked for a retake.Master Tong refused to accept it, so he asked someone to catch him and threatened to auction his pride%.No one present dared to offend the Yu family, and in the end no one was willing to pay even one yuan.Yu Changxuan bought the necklace at double the price and gave wine to the guests, but his eyes kept falling on Tao Ziyi.Tao Yayi had already expected that as long as her sister showed up, Yu Changxuan would follow.

Ye Pingjun applied for a job at Xiangxi Hotel and stated that he knew English and French and was willing to do other jobs, but he was rejected because he had no background.She did not leave immediately, but asked for the reason and pointed out that the meaning of the painting in the lobby was inconsistent with the hotel environment.This conversation attracted Jin Zhongfang's attention, and he decided to let her try clerical work.It happened that the Lido Hall had to hold a dance all night and was short of manpower. Ye Pingjun heard that the remuneration was good, so he agreed to go over temporarily to help.

When Ye Pingjun saw Tao Ziyi in the dance hall, he remembered the past when he was among the best in the exam, but his photo was stained by the other party and he was ridiculed by his classmates.She didn't want to get into trouble and pushed things out of the way.Yu Changxuan and Li Boren sat aside. Li Boren couldn't understand why he was hot and cold towards Tao Ziyi. When he wanted to ask, he was accused of talking too much.Tao Ziyi was sure that he would come to invite her to dance, but he passed by her and took another girl's hand.

When changing dance partners, Tao Ziyi finally danced with Yu Changxuan and tested him about giving gifts everywhere.The two were still fighting when gunfire suddenly rang out in the ballroom.Yu Changxuan protected Tao Ziyi. After a firefight, the Tao sisters were sent away, and several assassins posing as waiters were also killed.He remembered that a silver pen was found in the shooter's pocket and suspected that it was an identification mark for his accomplices, so he ordered a search.

The pen was actually found from Ye Pingjun's pocket.She repeatedly stated that the things were not hers, but Yu Changxuan recognized her as the girl who picked up money on a rainy night, and ordered her to be taken back to the headquarters to prepare for personal interrogation.In prison, he used whippings on other prisoners to exert pressure. He also told Ye Mu's condition and the doctor in charge, forcing her to reveal the person behind it.

Ye Pingjun tried to calm down, recalled the anomalies he saw when applying for the job, and proposed to use ten days to find out the real culprit who framed him.Her family, address, and mother's treatment were all in Yu Changxuan's hands, and it was impossible to escape.Based on this, she asked to be released to investigate the case first, and asked him face to face if he dared to take the bet.
