Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

By then, the family can find an outstanding illegitimate son to marry the county lord's sister, which will not be a big loss. By giving up a illegitimate son, not only can the family become related to the county lord, but they can also get in touch with the prince and the general. This deal is really not a loss.

Besides, I heard that the county lady's younger brother is studying in school, and her younger sister is learning to read and write at home and etiquette and rules. She even invited a nanny to teach them at home. She can be considered a lady from a noble family.

The county lady is so attentive to her younger brother and sister-in-law. When the time comes, she can ask her legitimate son or daughter to marry her. Once they become in-laws, everything will be easier to discuss in the future.

I have to say, this person looks ugly, but he thinks beautiful things.

If Xiao Wan knew, she would probably kick them out herself.

Bah, what a filthy thing, dares to covet my own siblings.

Everyone had different thoughts, but the Xiao family was unaware. After the greetings, the lively banquet at the County Lord's Mansion began.

Everyone gathered around Li Rui with great attention, while the ladies and daughters of the guests gathered around Fu and talked to her, racking their brains to compliment her, hoping to win her favor.

The girls also wanted to show themselves, hoping to be valued by the general's wife, and maybe even marry the major general.

Everyone surrounded Fu and the others, and it seemed as if the roles of host and guest were reversed.

Even Fu Qiushuang was pushed away from Fu's side by them and was almost pushed down by an impatient young lady. Fortunately, Xiao Wan quickly supported her.

Fu Qiu Shuang stopped and turned around to thank the person who helped her, but found that it was Xiao Wan. They looked at each other and smiled, with a sense of helplessness.

But soon, Fu and Li Rui would not allow this situation to continue. They took the initiative to chat with the Xiao family and were indifferent to those who flattered them.

Fortunately, everyone came to their senses and remembered that today was a housewarming party and the host was the Xiao family, so they quickly changed their minds. Fu then smiled and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Wan felt very tired of hosting this banquet and didn't want to flatter these outsiders, but as the county lord, she couldn't just let her temper run wild.

She was conferred the title by the emperor, an honor bestowed by the royal family, so she has to be careful in everything she says and does, and can't just do whatever she wants. It's really troublesome.

If others could hear Xiao Wan's inner thoughts, they would probably spit at her. What kind of Versailles behavior is this? If you don't want this blessing, you can give it up. There are many people who want it!

After the banquet, Li Rui and Zhao Wenqing said goodbye. Li Rui followed Zhao Wenqing to the county government office to stay overnight before returning to the capital.

Xiao Wan asked Fu to live in the County Lord's Mansion, and Liu also persuaded Fu to stay. After all, the County Lord's Mansion was built by people sent by the imperial court, so the accommodation conditions were naturally excellent.

But Fu refused, saying that she wanted to go back to Kaoshan Village with Liu so that they could talk. Some things should be put on the agenda.

Liu understood what was going on, and Xiao Wan also understood what Fu said, so it was not easy for her to keep Fu.

She was going to stay at the county lady's mansion tonight. After all, she was the host and it was a new house, so she had to stay there.

Xiao Zhen'er and Xiao Yu'er stayed with her, while Liu, Fu and others went home.

Before leaving, Fu took Xiao Wan's hand and softly explained to her the matter of Fu Qiu Shuang and her own family. Xiao Wan understood. Although she was not a jealous person, she was a little uncomfortable with the fact that Fu Qiu Shuang was living in the Zhao family.

But he also told himself that she was Fu's niece, and it was normal for a niece to stay at her aunt's house for a few days. He was not married yet, so there was no need to be angry.

But after Fu explained the situation, Xiao Wan's discomfort had long since disappeared, and her eyes were filled with heartache for Fu.

There will always be people like this in the world. Some of them may be close relatives, but they are full of calculations.

It’s hard to imagine how heavy and painful Fu must have felt back then, but it’s all in the past.

In order to help her half-brother's family, Fu brought Fu Qiu Shuang into the mansion to teach her. Only with the support of the general's mansion in the future could she find a good family and not be bullied.

That's all. Fu hoped that Xiao Wan would not misunderstand her. Her son and Qiu Shuang had only met a few times, let alone other people.

I brought Fu Qiushuang here just to let her learn more from Xiao Wan, act more openly and see more of the world.

Xiao Wan caught a glimpse of Fu Qiu Shuang standing aside waiting for Fu Shi. Her eyes were clear, but she was still a little timid. It was obvious that she was used to being suppressed by her uncle's family in the past.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wan smiled and said to Fu Shi, "Aunt Fu, you and my mother can go home and live, and let Sister Qiu Shuang stay here with me and my sister. The County Lord's Mansion has been completed, and I haven't been around much myself. It just so happens that my sister is planning to open a branch in Jiyun City, so Sister Qiu Shuang can come along and give us some advice."

Upon hearing this, Fu was delighted: "Of course that's good. I brought your sister here so she can see around and broaden her horizons."

After saying that, he waved Fu Qiushuang over and told her about this matter. Fu Qiushuang naturally had no choice but to agree.
