However, later on, the Tian family made a wrong business decision and went bankrupt almost overnight. The Tian couple couldn't take this blow and passed away one after another. Tian Li was also affected because of this. Back then, he failed in the imperial examination, and later on, his place in the imperial examination became lower and lower. At that time, Chang Zaiqing just gave birth to Huai Sheng. There were many places where she needed money. The poor couple had a lot of quarrels and arguing. Tian Li found solace in alcohol and gambling. Chang Zaiqing felt that this life was not what she wanted, so one day, she sold the last title deed they had and escaped.
Tian Li had also asked people to look for Chang Zaiqing, but to no avail. Tian Li probably did not know about the friendship between Chang Hu and Old General Shen back then, so he did not know that Chang Zaiqing had fled to the capital.
