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

Grandmother, please take good care of yourself. I wonder how you feel after taking the heart-nourishing pills my granddaughter sent you a few days ago? The weather is so hot and stuffy now, and if you take them on time, they should be of great benefit to your health."

Gu Fanchu frowned slightly, and with a focused and concerned look, she gave the old lady detailed instructions:

"Grandma, the weather is getting hotter now, so you have to take care of yourself! The elderly are particularly susceptible to illnesses in such hot weather.

Drink plenty of water and eat a light diet. Don't eat too much cold food. If you feel unwell, be sure to tell your granddaughter immediately."

The old lady looked at her well-behaved and sensible granddaughter with a loving face and replied with a smile:

"Okay, my dear Chu'er, grandma will remember everything."

At this time, Mrs. Gu, who was standing by, saw the close and happy scene between the grandfather and grandson, and she couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

She coughed lightly, trying to attract their attention, but seeing that Gu Fanchu was still concentrating on talking with the old lady, she could no longer hold back and said:

"Ahem, Chu'er is truly a filial and caring child."

Hearing the voice, Gu Fanchu slowly turned his head, looked at Gu with a cold gaze, and asked in a flat tone:

"I wonder why the Marquis's wife is here today?"

Being treated so coldly by her, Gu couldn't help but be stunned.

She stared at Gu Fanchu's beautiful yet expressionless face, and a nameless fire suddenly surged in her heart.

However, thinking of the purpose of her visit, she could only suppress her anger, put on a flattering smile, and said softly:

"Chu'er, no matter what, you are the biological child of my mansion. In the past, it was all because of my mother's confusion and misconceptions that I treated you unfairly. I am truly sorry for you!

Now that my mother has acknowledged her mistakes, I only hope that you can be magnanimous and give our family a chance to reform and make amends, okay?"

I saw Mrs. Gu bending down slightly, with a kind smile on her face, and her eyes fell gently on Gu Fanchu, as if she wanted to show the so-called maternal love in her heart without reservation.

She thought to herself that with her humble attitude, Gu Fanchu would surely step down and accept her belated care.

However, what Gu didn't expect was that Gu Fanchu just raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a cold smile.

Her bright eyes flashed with disdain and ridicule, as if she had already seen through Gu's inner thoughts.

Did Gu really think that his methods were so clever that no one could see through them?

It has been quite some time since she returned to the mansion. Has she ever seen anyone in the mansion show any concern for her, their own daughter?

Now that Meng Hewan is about to marry into a wealthy family, he suddenly comes to ask about her well-being. What is his purpose?

But it doesn't matter, let's see what tricks they will play this time.

Gu Fanchu slowly said:

"That's right, Madam Hou is absolutely right. But ever since Chu'er returned, I've realized that I can never be compared to Miss Meng. Fortunately, my grandmother and the General's Mansion have always treated me well. I'm already very satisfied to have such a loving family."

Although the words seem respectful, the deep meaning implied is self-evident.

There was a gleam of sincerity in Gu Fanchu's bright and clear eyes, like the warmest sunshine in spring, gently falling on the old lady.

She tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, her eyes full of affection and tenderness.

At this moment, Gu felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

Looking back, it was precisely because he disliked his own daughter for looking too petty that he resolutely refused to let her set foot in the Marquis's Mansion.

But who could have expected that this seemingly insignificant woman would actually be favored and loved by His Majesty!

However, things had come to this point. In order to achieve the ulterior motive in his heart, Gu had to suppress his inner dissatisfaction and tried to force a smile and said:

"Mother, I now deeply realize the mistakes I made. This time, I came here with the intention of sincerely making amends for my past mistakes and bringing Chu'er back to our Marquis' Mansion. After all, she is the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion..."

At that moment, the room suddenly became silent, as if time had frozen at this moment.

The old lady's cloudy yet sharp eyes did not reveal even the slightest trace of emotion, but were instead filled with vigilance and alertness.

Not to mention this old lady who has experienced many hardships and the vicissitudes of life, even if it were anyone else, it would be difficult for them to believe what Gu said.

Because if you use your brain a little, you can hear the loopholes in it. It is obviously a lie.

However, faced with this situation, the old lady did not rush to refute or accuse, but just frowned slightly and slowly shifted her gaze to Gu Fanchu who was standing aside.

After going through all kinds of hardships in her previous life and a series of events in this life, Gu Fanchu is no longer the innocent and ignorant girl who was easily deceived by others' sweet words.

She was filled with doubt and disdain for every word that came out of Gu's mouth.

But there was no expression of anger or disgust on her face. Instead, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. She first sighed softly, then reached out and patted the old lady's shoulder gently but firmly to comfort her.

"Could it be that Madam Hou is wrong? I am now the daughter of the General's Mansion. Logically, I should call my aunt mother. Naturally, I have no relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. If I return to the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid the rumors about Miss Meng will be even more detrimental."

People in the capital already had all kinds of speculations in their minds. If Gu Fanchu returned to the Marquis' Mansion at this moment, it would undoubtedly further confirm the rumors that were flying around.

Gu had actually considered this a long time ago.

However, as long as she could ensure that her beloved daughter Wan'er would not have to marry far away to that remote fiefdom, she no longer cared about the outside world's comments and accusations about her reputation.

Gu looked at Gu Fanchu with a loving face and said softly:

"Chu'er, no matter what, you are still our Gu family's child! What does it matter if there are rumors outside? We don't need to take them to heart."

Hearing this, Gu Fanchu couldn't help but sneer, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised into an arc full of sarcasm.

She thought about it for a while, seemingly nonchalantly, before responding:
