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

Time passed minute by minute, Meng Qiaoming still stood calmly, but Meng Chengfeng beside him could no longer suppress his anxiety.

He kept pacing back and forth, muttering complaints under his breath.

Finally, Meng Chengfeng, who had become somewhat impatient, tugged at Meng Qiaoming's sleeve and said angrily:

"Brother, I really can't stand it anymore! Let's not wait for that vicious woman anymore, okay? Look, she's clearly trying to leave us here and not care about us at all!"

Meng Qiaoming stood at the door of the general's mansion, feeling as if there was a fire burning in his heart, making him so irritated that he could hardly bear it.

He could never have imagined that even something as simple as entering the general's mansion would be rejected, and the guards looked at him with indifference and disdain, as if he were some disgusting existence.

Looking back to last year, we had clearly agreed to arrange a good position for him, but until now, this promise is still as far away as a mirage.

What made him even more angry was that Gu Xunzhou, who had been so kind and courteous to him in the past, had completely changed his attitude since some time ago. Every time he saw him, he no longer had the warmth and kindness of the past.

And all these changes seemed to have started from the moment Gu Fanchu returned to the capital.

When he thought of this, Meng Qiaoming couldn't help but curse in his heart:

"Gu Fanchu, this damned woman, is simply a complete disaster!"

Ever since she appeared, his future has become increasingly difficult and bumpy, with setbacks everywhere; and his beloved Wan'er has been humiliated repeatedly because of Gu Fanchu, and was even forced to marry the Third Prince who had long been despised by everyone.

This can't go on any longer! No matter what, we must get Gu Fanchu out of the General's Mansion and bring him back to the Marquis' Mansion today.

As long as she can be controlled in the palm of her hand, then she will naturally have no say in what to do at that time, and everything will develop in the direction she expects.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, then turned his gaze to Meng Chengfeng again and advised earnestly:

"Be patient and hold your composure. Think about it, if Wan'er were taken away like this, the consequences would be unimaginable! As long as we can wait patiently, once she returns to the Marquis' Mansion, hmph, someone will naturally give her a good beating, and she'll be in big trouble then!"

When Meng Chengfeng heard his brother's words, especially when he saw the ferocious and violent expression on his face, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Fear surged in his heart, and he involuntarily shrank back, never daring to act rashly again.

At this time, more and more people gathered in front of the Marquis' Mansion, and everyone started whispering to each other.

They pointed at the gorgeous carriage parked at the door and the two young masters standing beside it, their faces full of curiosity, secretly wondering what had happened.

Everyone was talking about it, and all kinds of speculations arose one after another, making the originally quiet street suddenly become extremely noisy.

As time passed, Meng Qiaoming's face became increasingly gloomy, as if it would erupt like a volcano at any time.

Just when his patience was about to reach its limit, he heard a creaking sound, and the door of the general's mansion, which had been closed for a long time, finally slowly opened.

The first thing that catches the eye is a gorgeous red dress, as dazzling as a blooming peony.

Gu Fanchu was seen walking out gracefully and lightly with her arm around Wang's. The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked, without a trace of panic on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Meng Qiaoming couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his palms.

However, just a moment later, he suppressed the anger that surged in his heart and forced a very forced smile.

Then, he took Meng Chengfeng's hand and walked quickly forward, bowing to Gu Fanchu and Wang.

"Aunt!"

Wang's eyes fell straight on the two handsome nephews in front of her, and she thought to herself that it was hard to understand how such handsome people could be so confused, as if they were blind.

She nodded slightly and replied softly:

"Ah."

Then he turned around and spoke softly to Gu Fanchu with a tender face:

"Stay for a few days and come back soon. Your second aunt is now six months pregnant and is feeling very heavy. Having you by her side to care for her and accompany her will help her rest assured and take care of the baby. Besides, the Censor's wife has already sent an invitation, so you must be well behaved and sensible. Don't be so obsessed with fun that you lose your manners."

Meng Qiaoming, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face. He could naturally hear that although his aunt's words were apparently earnest advice to Gu Fanchu, they were actually secretly warning him and the Marquis' Mansion.

Moreover, the aunt-in-law specifically emphasized that Gu Fanchu would only stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a short time and would not stay there for a long time. This was undoubtedly hinting to them that if Gu Fanchu failed to return as promised, how would his mother and the Marquis' Mansion explain to the Gu family?

However, now that things have come to this, like an arrow shot from a bow, there is no turning back.

Meng Qiaoming knew that no matter how much he regretted and worried at this moment, it would be of no use. He could only bite the bullet and move forward, hoping that things would develop smoothly and without any complications.

Gu Fanchu knew Wang's thoughts very well. She gently reached out her hand, patted Wang's hand, which was tightly clenched due to nervousness, and said in a gentle voice:

"Don't worry, aunt. I'm just staying over for a few days. I think it's because Sister Meng Hewan is getting married soon, and the family wants to add some excitement to the atmosphere."

After these words came out, Meng Qiaoming's expression changed slightly. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could not say much at this moment. He could only force a smile and said with a smile:

"The Marquis' Mansion is your home. Our whole family... has been eagerly awaiting your arrival and warmly welcomes you!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fanchu raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His bright eyes glanced at Meng Qiaoming with a half-smile, and then his gaze fell on Meng Chengfeng, who had a slightly unnatural expression and was trying hard to hide his emotions.

But she just watched quietly without saying another word.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Fanchu and Wang exchanged a few heartfelt words.

Soon, a group of maids nimbly moved a box of luggage onto the carriage.

After everything was ready, Gu Fanchu slowly boarded the carriage with the careful help of his personal maid Bai Li.

The reason for going to the Marquis' Mansion this time was because Meng Hewan would be leaving home to get married in three days.

Therefore, Gu Fanchu planned to stay here for only three days.
