The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

The puppy settled down in this yard. It took several days for the puppy to get familiar with the place and start to become lively with Gu Fanchu.

Gu Fanchu named it Tuanzi, after all, it looks like a round dumpling.

With Tuanzi around, the yard became a lot more lively.

However, Gu Fanchu didn't dare to take it to see his second aunt. After all, his second aunt was pregnant and he had to be careful about everything.

After staying quietly for a few days, it was the day when the flower viewing banquet was held at the Shangshu Mansion.

Wang naturally had to go as well, after all, it concerned Wang Yuyan's lifelong affairs.

She had heard all the rumors before, so she naturally wanted to go and see the attitude of the Shangshu Mansion.

Early in the morning, the maids dressed Gu Fanchu up nicely and felt that their young lady became more dignified and elegant.

When sitting in the carriage with Wang, Gu Fanchu clearly felt the uneasiness of the people around him.

"Aunt, it's okay. Cousin Yan'er is such an outstanding woman, there will definitely be no other problems."

If the Yuan family really has any dissatisfaction with Sister Yan'er, then since they haven't gotten married yet, they can see it clearly in advance to avoid being wronged in the future.

Wang naturally understood these principles.

But this world is unfair to women. If Yan'er is looked down upon by the people in Yuan's house because of this, how will she live in the future?

If the engagement is broken off...

It will probably be even more difficult in the future.

With a lot of thoughts in mind, the carriage arrived at the Shangshu Mansion with a shaky sound.

After all, Lord Yuan of the Shangshu Mansion holds a high status in the court, and the unmarried men and women in the capital are naturally unwilling to give up such an opportunity to show themselves.

So Gu Fanchu was not surprised at all to meet Meng Hewan again.

There is only one thing in my mind... Enemies always meet on a narrow road.

The Shangshu Mansion originally didn't want to hold this flower-viewing banquet, after all, the wife of the eldest wife in the family had just been sent away.

But Mrs. Yuan considered it more and finally asked the wife of the second house to host the flower viewing banquet.

The second wife was naturally delighted. After all, they also had a daughter who was about to come of age. If they could take this opportunity to show her off, maybe she could find a good family.

The master of the second branch of the Yuan family is also the legitimate child of Old Madam Yuan. He has good qualifications, but he only holds a fifth-rank official position in the court.

So it is shorter than the main house in every way.

Therefore, I got this exhibition opportunity from the old lady and put a lot of thought into it.

Wang and Gu Fanchu were personally welcomed into the mansion by the lady of the second house. As soon as they arrived at the front hall, they saw Wang Yuyan quietly following Mrs. Wang.

Today, Wang Yuyan is dressed more formally than usual, which highlights her dignified and decent temperament.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was chatting with Old Madam Yuan, and Wang Yuyan listened obediently, occasionally nodding in response.

On the other side, several other ladies were gathered together and talking, among them was Gu, who looked a little haggard.

I guess the Gu family must be having a lot of bad luck recently!

However, it is not just the Gu family, but the entire Marquis' Mansion that is in trouble.

Meng Qiaoming was even impeached by the censor because of the last incident, but fortunately he did not hold any official position, so only Meng Qingwen was verbally reprimanded by His Majesty.

But this was already a huge blow to the Marquis' Mansion.

Now when she goes out, Gu Ruyue feels as if everyone's words are mocking her.

Originally she was reluctant to go out, but her mother-in-law insisted that she take her unengaged daughter out with her.

There was no choice, so she went out anyway.

When she saw Wang appear with her biological daughter and being welcomed by everyone, she felt a little strange in her heart.

She was obviously his daughter. If he had brought Gu Fanchu with him today, all the attention would have been hers.

But now...

No. What was she thinking?

Wan'er is still by his side, she is also his daughter, how can he have such thoughts?

Thinking of this, she withdrew her gaze and continued talking to the ladies in front of her.

Meng Hewan looked at him without any concealment.

I have to say that Gu Fanchu is becoming more and more like a lady from a noble family in Beijing.

After all, she is the biological daughter of the Marquis's family, and she has inherited the good parts of her appearance.

Her appearance became more and more bright and beautiful.

Such a woman is simply a threat to me.

Fortunately, she did not return to the Marquis's Mansion...

When Wang Yuyan saw Gu Fanchu appear, she whispered something to Madam Wang beside her.

Mrs. Wang looked over here, frowned, but still nodded and let her pass.

"Aunt, Sister Chu'er, you are here."

In front of her elders, she had to be cautious and polite.

Wang smiled kindly, took her hand and walked forward to greet Madam Wang.

"Sister-in-law, you came early today."

Mrs. Wang still had some resentment towards her sister-in-law because of Wang Yuyan's matter.

But everyone was watching, so she naturally couldn't lose face in public, otherwise her husband would blame her again.

"Sister, I just arrived too and had a quick chat with the old lady."

Old Madam Yuan, being older and having a higher seniority, only nodded slightly and said, "Madam Gu, please take a seat. We were just talking about you!"

Wang sat down next to her sister-in-law, smiling and saying cheerfully, "That must be a nice thing to say about me! Old Madam Yuan has always loved me, so she must have praised me in front of my sister-in-law."

After hearing this, Old Lady Yuan smiled sincerely: "Yes, you were just a little girl back then, but now you have become a great general in Duan Shuang's family! Don't worry, I will definitely praise you!"

The adults were chatting and laughing in the front, while Gu Fanchu and Wang Yuyan were talking quietly in the back.

"Did you see that? Meng Hewan is staring at you! Her eyes look terrifying to me."

Gu Fanchu glanced over inconspicuously and saw that Meng Hewan was staring at her without blinking.

What are you looking at her for? Did she find out that the person you were looking for was intercepted by her?

That shouldn't be the case. The people sent out should all be strangers, so they shouldn't be exposed easily.

Why?

"No matter what she does, let's talk about you. I came here today to see that Mr. Yuan. I wonder what kind of exiled immortal he is to marry our beautiful and outstanding sister Yan'er."

Gu Fanchu didn't bother to even look at her.

For her, she no longer cared about what Meng Hewan wanted.

But she wanted revenge.

Now that he had everything, with the right time, place, and people, it was time to let Meng Hewan and the Marquis' Mansion suffer a little.

Thinking of this, her eyes flashed.

"Oh, you just know how to tease me."

Wang Yuyan's face turned red instantly, and she pinched Gu Fanchu's arm lightly with some anger.

The sound of the two people fighting was naturally heard by the elders who were talking.

Compared to Mrs. Wang's frown, Mrs. Wang said openly:

"It's boring for you two little girls to stay here with me. Why don't you go to the garden and enjoy the flowers?"

Wang Yuyan looked at Madam Wang timidly. After she nodded, she smiled happily and bowed to the elders, then took Gu Fanchu away.
