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

Later, for unknown reasons, the two retired from the world at the same time and no one has seen them since then.

Wang stood aside and looked at her son. Naturally, they saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but neither of them spoke.

The old lady's heart was still filled with pity. If the child had been raised in the Marquis' Mansion since childhood, with her intelligence, she would surely have become a famous lady in the capital.

However, this is not the time to be sentimental. Since Gu has made his choice today, there is no need to have unnecessary thoughts in the future.

Although Meng Fanchu was there, she was not very good at making medicine, so Doctor Liu left a prescription with the old lady and asked the maid to get the medicine and boil it immediately. He wanted to exchange some medical skills with the cousin who had just arrived, but when he saw the faces of everyone in the room, he knew that they had something to discuss, so he took the medicine box and went out.

When only Wang and Gu Xunzhou were left in the room, the old lady took Meng Fanchu's hand and said distressedly, "My dear child, it's all thanks to you just now. Otherwise, grandma might not be here anymore."

"Grandma, no, you will be safe and live a long life."

Meng Fanchu's eyes were hazy and tears streamed down her cheeks. She would never let anything happen to her grandmother again.

"Okay, okay, grandma will live a long life and protect our Chu'er."

She glanced at Wang and Gu Xunzhou in the room and said in a deep voice, "Chu'er, just now you... your mother was like that, it's not because she doesn't like you, it's just that she married into the Marquis' Mansion, and many times she has no choice..."

"Grandma, I know, but Chu'er doesn't want to hide it. I still feel some resentment in my heart. It's not my fault that I was taken away, and naturally I can't say it's the fault of Miss Wan'er. However, for so many years, I have always known that I was an abandoned child. Although my adoptive parents love me, I still feel some regret in my heart."

"I originally thought that my uncle brought Chu'er back because his family missed him, so Chu'er also imagined that he definitely didn't abandon his child intentionally, and there must be other reasons. When he returned home, his parents and brothers would definitely love him more. But... in the end, his true love was misplaced. Perhaps, Chu'er should not have come back."

Meng Fanchu's voice was filled with sadness, which made people feel distressed.

"Chu'er, don't say that. We are your family too."

Wang was also truly distressed for the child. She naturally knew what had just happened in the room, but she had never expected that her sister-in-law would be so cruel that she wouldn't even care about her own flesh and blood.

"From now on, the General's Mansion will be your home. Don't even think about going back. Old Madam, why don't you register Chu'er under my name? She will be my biological child from now on."

Anyway, the general's mansion doesn't care about having another legitimate daughter.

The old lady looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with satisfaction, she knew that these words were not false.

She was also impressed by Meng Fanchu's frankness in expressing his dissatisfaction with the Marquis' Mansion without any hesitation or falsehood. This was the style of the descendants of the General's Mansion.

"Chu'er, what do you think? The Marquis' Mansion isn't a good place. It's better not to go back. Just stay in the General's Mansion from now on."

Meng Fanchu knew that he would never have to go back to the cannibalistic place called the Marquis' Mansion in this life. He could stay in the General's Mansion, where he could not only do his own things, but also protect the General's Mansion nearby and catch the traitors in the General's Mansion as soon as possible.

She was silent for a moment, and when she raised her head, her face was already firm: "Chu'er, I will listen to Grandmother's decision."

In the end, after discussion, it was decided that Meng Fanchu would be registered under the name of Wang. After a while, when the old general and the old man came back, they would open the ancestral hall and include him in the family tree to avoid any heresy.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the old lady turned to her eldest grandson and said, "I understand (Eldest Young Master's courtesy name). I heard that Meng Qiaoming, the second son of the Meng family, came to you a few days ago and asked you to help him get a transfer to the Ministry of Rites. Don't bother with it. If he is capable, he will naturally be appreciated. Since they look down on our General's Mansion, don't use our connections to get things done."

Meng Qiaoming doesn't have any great abilities, and the Meng family doesn't have many connections. They have secretly done a lot of things under the name of the General's Mansion. From now on, they can forget about getting involved with it.

"Yes, grandma, I understand." Gu Xunzhou responded with a gentle expression.

Even without his grandmother telling him, he would not ask about that family's affairs anymore. He made his grandmother so angry that she almost fell seriously ill. They deserved to die.

After the matter was settled, the old lady asked them all to go back. Meng Fanchu originally wanted to continue staying in the old lady's room to help her take medicine, but the old lady waved her hand, saying that there were maids to serve her, and asked Wang to take everyone away.

Wang was so happy holding her newborn daughter's hand that she didn't let go of her hand the whole way. She kept saying, "Chu'er, don't worry. You can still call me aunt from now on. There's no need to change your mind. Don't be polite when you want something or eat something. I'm telling you, a girl should dress up beautifully. Tomorrow I'll have my servants buy all the fashionable clothes and jewelry in the capital. Then you and Yan'er can go out looking beautiful."

Gu Xunzhou, who was following behind him, shook his head and sighed silently.

My mother has loved daughters since she was young. Before my eldest sister got married, she was dressed up like a golden mascot all day long... I'm afraid that my younger sister Chu'er will not be able to escape the same fate in the future.

Fortunately, Meng Fanchu didn't know it yet, so he was deeply moved by Wang's tenderness and agreed without hesitation.

After returning to the yard, Meng Fanchu was finally able to sit down and slowly sort out his thoughts.

Gu said that Meng Hewan fell into the lake. In her previous life, she wanted to go back to the Marquis' Mansion with Gu, so she begged her grandmother to put pressure on the Marquis' Mansion so that they would have to take her back. She thought that when the time comes, she will go back and perform well. After all, they are related by blood, and when they get along well, everyone will definitely accept her.

Unfortunately, she took herself too seriously, and after returning, she was despised by everyone in the Marquis' Mansion. Those people would not change their impression of her just because she became a better person.

Later, she overheard a few maids discussing privately that Meng Hewan seemed to have become a different person since she fell into the river and became seriously ill. She spent the whole day tinkering with new things and dated men like the Third Prince without any hesitation.

That's right, she not only made plans to go out with the Third Prince, but also with other men. There were rumors before that the young lady of the Meng family was bold and reckless, openly flirting with other men on the street, but these rumors were suppressed.

So it seems that the person from another world that Meng Hewan mentioned occupied the original body during this period, and his soul became another person.

Moreover, the man who took possession of her body should have known that Meng Fanchu was the real daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise he would not have tried every possible way to suppress her as soon as she entered the mansion.
