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

It was a palace banquet, and everyone lost their appetite in the second half. After all, they had originally thought that the one being granted marriage today was the crown prince, but unexpectedly it was Shi Jinyan, the favorite of His Majesty.

Everyone has their own thoughts. Since the parties involved have already agreed, naturally no one else can say anything.

When the banquet was over and the guests had left, a crackling sound suddenly came from a room in the palace where the queen lived, breaking the original tranquility like a storm.

The palace maids serving in the room were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. They held their breath and held their breath, fearing that they would be affected by the queen's raging anger if they were not careful.

All I heard was the Queen roaring in anger:

"The Emperor actually granted a marriage to that Shi Jinyan? Who the hell is he! He's exactly like his fickle mother, completely shameless and utterly shameless!"

At this moment, the queen no longer had her usual dignified and graceful demeanor. Her face was ferocious and intimidating. Even her closest confidants were trembling with fear and did not dare to step forward to offer any words of comfort.

Then, accompanied by a crisp "pop" sound, another priceless and fine vase turned into pieces on the ground under the queen's rage.

"Pei Qiyu is also a useless guy. If he had known that things would develop to this point earlier, then..."

Before he could finish his words, the maidservant beside him hurriedly spoke up to stop him:

"My Lady, please be careful with your words! If someone else hears this, it will be a big trouble."

The nanny knew that the queen was very angry at the moment and was afraid that she would say something careless and reveal some unknown secrets, thus giving others an advantage.

After the queen vented her anger, her emotions gradually calmed down.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to remain calm, and straightened her demeanor, returning to her usual dignified, elegant, and graceful appearance.

The queen raised her hand slightly and instructed the maid beside her:

"Go and call the prince quickly. I have something important to ask you."

She really wanted to find out what Pei Qiyu was planning when he put on an attitude of not fighting against the world all day long!

However, not long after, the eunuch sent to summon the prince came back in a hurry.

The eunuch looked panicked and reported to the queen while panting:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince suddenly felt unwell after returning to the palace and collapsed shortly afterwards..."

Hearing this, the queen was so angry that her eyebrows raised and her chest heaved violently.

She gnashed her teeth and cursed:

"What a useless piece of shit! If it weren't for the fact that he still had a chance to ascend the throne, I would have had him disposed of long ago!"

After saying that, she slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.

As soon as Gu Fanchu stepped into the vermilion gate of the general's mansion, before she had time to catch her breath, she saw a servant rushing over and saying that the old lady wanted to see her and asked her to go to the old lady's yard quickly.

So, Gu Fanchu didn't even have time to rest and hurriedly followed the servant and trotted away.

As soon as I entered the old lady's yard, I saw that the house was full of people. All the young and old in the Gu family gathered there, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.

After some earnest persuasion, Gu Fanchu finally succeeded in convincing the family members one by one.

Finally, the matter was settled.

Once this incident was reported, it immediately caused an uproar in the capital.

Gu Fanchu once again became the envy of everyone in the capital. After all, who could have expected that Shi Jinyan, who had rejected even the most noble princess, would actually agree to the emperor's marriage, and the other party was a wild girl who had returned from the countryside!

This news was so shocking that it became a hot topic on the streets.

However, among the many people who were dissatisfied with this matter, Meng Hewan was the most indignant.

During this period of time, because of some mistakes she made, Meng Hewan has been locked up at home by her family and is strictly prohibited from going out.

Therefore, she was naturally excluded from various gatherings in the capital.

Now she can only stay in her boudoir every day. In a few days, she will follow the third prince to the fiefdom, which makes her even more irritated.

But who knew that misfortunes never come singly? When she accidentally heard the maids discussing in private that the emperor had actually granted a marriage contract for Gu Fanchu and Shi Jinyan, the jealousy in her heart instantly ignited and she almost lost her mind.

Why? Why am I, a woman who traveled through time and space and has seen a lot, unable to compare to that wild girl from the countryside?

Thinking back to the beginning, I resolutely stepped into this strange world with infinite longing and expectation for a better life in the future.

I thought that with my modern knowledge and unique way of thinking, I would be able to shine in this ancient land and have a happy and fulfilling life.

But now?

That wild girl actually married a powerful, handsome and elegant man like Shi Jinyan so easily, while she could only devote herself to a long-abandoned prince... This is really unfair!

No, we absolutely cannot just leave it to fate and wait for death!

Just as she was racking her brains to think about what action to take to change the current situation, Gu Ruyue came to visit her.

In the past few days, although I still can't step out of the room, I feel a little more relaxed.

After all, now there are finally people who can come to visit me, and I am no longer as lonely and deserted as before.

However, the expressions of the maids in the yard became weirder day by day.

It turned out that since Meng Hewan was trapped here, the eldest young master's visits had increased significantly, and he would stay in the house for a long time every time he came.

The two of them did not need anyone to serve them, and no one knew what they were doing in the house.

Naturally, these maids did not dare to speculate or discuss this matter. At most, they could only whisper to each other in private when no one was paying attention.

Gu Ruyue pushed open the door quietly and saw that her precious daughter, who had always been brought up in a pampered state, now looked haggard and listless, like a lifeless flower, which was very pitiful.

Her heart suddenly felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. The pain was unbearable and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

Gu Ruyue walked quickly forward, stretched out her arms and hugged her daughter tightly, feeling her thin body trembling slightly.

A hint of disgust flashed across Meng Hewan's eyes, but she quickly concealed the emotion and snuggled into Gu's warm embrace, sobbing.

"Wan'er, don't worry! Mother has already found a solution for you. She won't let you marry so far away."
