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

Gu Fanchu waited patiently for a cup of tea before Mrs. Zhang finally arrived.

As soon as he came in, he immediately apologized to Gu Fanchu: "Princess, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect someone to come so suddenly and delay your time."

After meeting her husband's distant relatives, Mrs. Zhang was not in a good mood at the moment, and her eyes were even slightly red.

Thinking of what her cousin had just said, she felt a sense of sadness rising in her heart again.

If I really can't have children...

She really couldn't bear to see her husband lose his offspring because of her. At that time, she would not be able to face the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Gu Fanchu saw that Mrs. Zhang looked miserable, and knew that the person who had just come was probably here to persuade her again.

However, as an outsider, she has no right to interfere in other people's family affairs.

"It's okay. I just arrived not long ago. There's still plenty of time. Madam, you should relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Mrs. Zhang knew that she was comforting herself, so she put away her sadness and asked Gu Fanchu to take her pulse.

After taking medicine for a period of time, Mrs. Zhang's health was obviously better. She must have also taken some nourishing supplements.

It seems that Lord Zhang really cherishes his wife very much, but I don’t know whether she can successfully conceive a child.

After leaving a new prescription, giving some careful instructions, and politely declining Mrs. Zhang's invitation to stay for dinner, Gu Fanchu left the Zhang Mansion with his maid.

She went to Mo Lianju again and learned from Xue Yang that the person she was looking for had been taken to a farm outside the city. After thinking about it, she decided to go out of the city in person.

He packed up some cakes that his grandmother and two aunts liked, and then took a carriage to take a look at Meng Hewan's newly opened brothel from afar.

Because it was daytime, there were not many people coming in and out.

When he saw the luxurious and ambiguous threshold, he knew that Meng Hewan and the third prince could make a lot of money here.

But it doesn’t matter. The more they earn, the tighter we can tie them.

In recent days, several shops have gradually gotten back on track, have their own regular customers, and their income is quite considerable.

She has never been a stingy person. She is very generous to those who work sincerely for her and directly gives them a month's salary as a bonus.

Everyone is happy doing it, so naturally they will work harder.

Moreover, Gu Fanchu is now considered a small wealthy woman!

The purchase of grain was also underway. In addition to the grain shop given by Wang, she also asked Xue Yang to help collect some grain.

Since she has the ability to predict things in advance, she can use it to make more money. Who would complain that the money is not enough!

After returning to the general's mansion, Gu Fanchu carried the cakes she had bought and walked towards the old lady's Songtao Garden. However, the maid said that the old lady was meeting guests in the front yard and asked her to go there as well when she returned.

Gu Fanchu became even more confused. He handed the cake in his hand to the maid, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the front yard.

When I walked into the house, I saw my grandmother and Wang sitting with a lady who was dressed in noble clothes, chatting happily.

Seeing her coming, the lady's eyes immediately lit up and she nodded with satisfaction.

"Chu'er is here. Let me introduce you. This is the wife of the Earl of Yongchang - Madam Xiao."

The Earl of Yongchang and his wife had not lived in the capital before. They had been living in a warm place in the south with their children. Because their child had suffered from heart disease since childhood, the doctor said that the climate in the south of the Yangtze River was pleasant, so they lived in the south all year round.

I returned to the capital recently because my child's illness has been under control and my son is old enough to get married.

As soon as she came back and waited for her husband to take up his post and meet the emperor, she sent people to arrange the marriage of her only son.

She asked someone to find the most famous matchmaker in the capital, who happened to be the matchmaker for the general's mansion.

After some consideration, she found that the two families were of similar status and of the right age, so she came to take a look in person today.

The general's wife and Wang were both very polite, and after a conversation, she was very satisfied.

Now that he saw the girl in person, he felt that she was as beautiful as a fairy, and her every move was well-mannered and polite. He felt extremely satisfied, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Meet Madam Xiao."

Gu Fanchu bowed politely.

There is nothing wrong with every move he makes.

"Well, the little girl is really pretty and well-educated. She is indeed a lady from a noble family. I came here in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts. This bracelet will be my gift to you!"

As she spoke, she took off a crystal white bracelet from her hand and put it on Gu Fanchu's wrist, making the woman's arm look even whiter and softer.

Gu Fanchu quickly refused: "This... Madam, this is too expensive."

Mrs. Xiao smiled with satisfaction and did not give Gu Fanchu any chance to break free.

"I can't refuse a gift from an elder. This isn't a valuable thing."

Gu Fanchu looked at his smiling grandmother for help, but she nodded and said:

“Since it’s a gift from Madam Xiao, then accept it.”

They all took the initiative to give things to Chuer, which shows that they are very satisfied with Chuer.

In fact, she was quite satisfied with other aspects, but the young master of the Earl's Mansion was said to have a heart disease, which was difficult to cure. If Chu'er married him, she would have to take care of a patient.

It is also a disease that can easily lead to sudden death.

Thinking of this, the old lady became a little worried again, and she gave Wang a subtle wink.

Wang also understood what her mother-in-law meant, so she mixed some inquiries into her words.

When Gu Fanchu heard the greetings and compliments from several people, he just kept a polite smile on his face, but he understood in his heart.

This... is she choosing a husband for herself?

But... why so suddenly? Could it be because of what happened at the flower viewing party last time?

Gu Fanchu felt dizzy for a moment. She had never thought about getting married so early.

After seeing them off, Gu Fanchu hurriedly said to the old lady and Wang: "Grandma, aunt, are you...looking for someone for Chu'er?"

The old lady nodded with a smile and said kindly:

"Chu'er, have you figured it out? I wasn't that anxious originally, but the matchmaker is quite capable. He's found several families to look at these days, and they all look pretty good to me."

In the past two days, people have been spreading rumors about Shi Jinyan and Gu Fanchu. She sent people to inquire about it, and the words were full of ambiguity.

Isn't this ruining Chu'er's reputation?

If we don't save the situation in time, I'm afraid the situation will get worse and worse.

"Grandma, I don't want to get married yet. I want to stay with you."

Gu Fanchu frowned. She didn't care about fame or not.

With her status, if she married into a noble family, they would definitely accuse her of trying to curry favor with the powerful and use the fact that she came back from the countryside to target her.

If you marry too low, others will laugh at the reputation of the general's mansion.

Therefore, if she really wants to get married, she has to choose carefully.
