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

Meng Hewan's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her delicate face looked even more pitiful at this moment.

Her hands were trembling slightly as she tried hard to push Meng Qiaoming away. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would roll down at any moment.

"Sister...are you blaming me for taking away your beloved brother? I...really didn't mean to do that. Now that I've returned, then...then I should return him to you."

As Meng Hewan spoke, she secretly cursed the man named Gu Fanchu in her heart.

But she knew very well that the men in the Meng family hated to see women looking so weak, aggrieved and pitiful, so they pretended to be bullied but willing to give in.

Meng Qiaoming's heart trembled when he saw this. He quickly stretched out his arms and pulled the seemingly fragile woman in front of him back into his arms, holding her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

"Wan'er, don't say such foolish things! You will always be my good sister and the most noble young lady of our mansion. As long as I am here, I will never let anyone bully you, and I will never let you suffer the slightest injustice!"

Meng Qiaoming spoke earnestly, gazing at the person in his arms with a firm and gentle gaze.

Then, those eyes seemed to be burning with rage, staring at Gu Fanchu fiercely, as if wanting to eat her alive, and said with gnashing teeth:

"You are a vicious, treacherous, and cunning woman, don't even think about driving Wan'er away! As long as I'm here, I will never let you succeed!"

Faced with such fierce accusations and insults, Gu Fanchu simply smiled faintly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible contempt.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to respond, another old and majestic voice suddenly came from outside the yard:

"What are you two doing hugging each other like that? It's totally inappropriate! Let go of each other right now!"

This sudden shout was like a thunderclap in the air, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Fanchu couldn't help but feel happy, and a glimmer of interest flashed in his eyes.

Because she knew that in the entire marquis's mansion, perhaps only this old lady could be considered to be someone who could still be considered to have a bit of clarity and understanding.

It’s a pity that time is merciless. Even though the old lady was once smart and capable, she is now old and has limited energy, making it difficult for her to control the overall situation.

In addition, Meng Qingwen was a foolish and confused person, which led to the gradual decline of the Marquisate and its current state.

After hearing the old lady's reprimand, Meng Hewan's delicate body trembled violently, as if she had been cast under a spell, and she froze in place in an instant.

Then, she quickly broke free from Meng Qingwen's arms and retreated to the side in a panic like a frightened deer, standing respectfully and properly, not even daring to breathe.

The woman's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, as if they would fall at any time. She looked so pitiful and sympathetic.

Meng Qiaoming stood aside, a look of embarrassment on his face. He whispered:

"grandmother……"

However, Mrs. Meng did not respond to his call, but remained silent.

She just looked at Meng Hewan deeply with a meaningful look, which seemed to contain many complex emotions and deep meanings.

Then, Madam Meng raised her foot and prepared to step into the yard.

Just as one foot stepped over the threshold, the two guards at the door quickly drew the swords at their waists, stood in front of Madam Meng, and blocked her way.

This sudden change caught Madam Meng off guard. She shrank back abruptly and her face turned pale in an instant. She was obviously frightened.

Meng Qingwen, who was standing behind him, quickly stepped forward to support the old lady. Facing the woman in the yard, his eyes were bloodshot and he roared angrily:

"You rebellious girl, this is your grandmother, what are you going to do!"

Gu Fanchu originally had a faint smile on his face, but in an instant, he seemed like a different person and quickly retracted all the smiles.

He looked at the Meng family with an expressionless face and indifferent eyes, and said in an extremely calm tone:

"I've been really exhausted today, and I'm completely exhausted. If you have anything else you need to deal with, please find a way to solve it yourself! I just want to rest now.

Don't bother me these few days. When Meng Hewan gets married, I will go and give her gifts and congratulations."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of guards standing at the door closed the gate tightly in unison as if they had received an order, leaving not even a gap and giving no chance for the people outside to speak.

Seeing this scene, Madam Meng was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands. She felt her breathing becoming more and more rapid, as if she would suffocate in the next second.

Seeing this, Gu, who was standing behind her, hurried forward, stretched out her hands and carefully supported Madam Meng, and shouted anxiously:

"Mother, mother, how are you? Someone, please go and get a doctor, quickly!"

Meng Qingwen, who was standing aside, also had a dark look on his face. He stared at the closed door with his eyes wide open, anger boiling in his heart.

He really wanted to kick the door hard a few times to vent his anger and dissatisfaction.

When he caught a glimpse of the guards standing in front of the door, exuding murderous aura, he finally forced himself to suppress his impulse and helplessly swallowed his anger back into his stomach.

In the end, he had no choice but to wave his sleeves in indignation, turned around, supported the old lady, and left this humiliating place without looking back.

Meng Qiaoming and Meng Hewan stood there blankly, as if they were under a spell, unable to move.

They stared with wide eyes, looking at what was happening before their eyes in disbelief.

Who would have thought that the seemingly weak Gu Fanchu would dare to openly ignore the elders of the Marquis' Mansion and even behave so rudely in front of everyone!

What surprised them even more was that their usually dignified father and other elders did not get angry in the face of such provocation and let Gu Fanchu go so easily.

What exactly is going on?

Don’t they think that Gu Fanchu’s behavior is extremely inappropriate and disgraceful to the family?

Meng Hewan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She bit her lower lip so hard that it almost drew blood.

How could this hateful Gu Fanchu be so arrogant and domineering?

It was completely different from what she had originally imagined!

Shouldn't she hate him?
