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

Gu stood at the door, holding an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, gently wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

She lowered her head slightly, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was really sad about the impending separation.

Only she herself knew that all this was just a carefully planned performance.

When the gorgeous sedan chair was slowly carried out of the gate, Gu quietly raised her head and quickly scanned the surroundings.

She caught a glimpse of the maid beside her nodding slightly at her calmly.

This subtle movement finally made the big stone hanging in Gu's heart fall down steadily.

It was obvious that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was well aware of this. They all had a smile on their faces, but there was a barely perceptible hint of indifference in their eyes.

Except for Meng Qiaoming, everyone gathered at the door, seemingly reluctant to see off the wedding procession.

The guards who had been waiting at the door for a long time saw that the sedan chair and dowry were ready. One of the men who looked like a leader waved his hand and shouted:

"set off!"

As his command sounded, the whole team suddenly became lively.

The sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets and alleys, and the wheels rolled forward, raising a cloud of dust.

The team was quite spectacular, with three beautifully decorated carriages.

The first car naturally belonged to the groom, Pei Qingan, with its body carved with delicate patterns and curtains fluttering in the wind;

Following closely behind was the car that Meng Hewan was riding in, which was also low-key and luxurious; the last one was Qin Mingzhu's car.

According to custom, the three newlyweds had to wait until they arrived at the fiefdom before they could hold a formal wedding ceremony.

At this moment, they were sitting in their respective carriages, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Looking at the dowry that Gu prepared for her daughter, from a distance it looked like a mountain of things, dazzling in appearance.

But if you open it and take a look, you will find that these so-called generous dowries are actually mostly just ordinary things, and there are very few truly valuable jewelry.

Because Gu decided from the beginning to let Gu Fanchu marry in place of her, she naturally did not prepare the dowry carefully.

But what she didn't expect was that the person inside was really Meng Hewan.

After watching the bridal sedan go away that day, the anxious Gu hurried to find Meng Hewan, wanting to confirm whether everything was okay.

However, when she arrived at Meng Hewan's room, what she saw surprised her - Meng Hewan was not in the room. Instead, her eldest son Meng Qiaoming, who was usually calm and reserved, was standing there, and his expression seemed extremely unnatural.

"Ming'er, where is Wan'er? Why are you here? Did something happen?"

Gu asked suspiciously.

At this moment, Meng Qiaoming's heart was full of ups and downs, and he was very excited.

He had just woken up from a hazy dream, and when he opened his eyes he was shocked to find that he was completely naked!

Not only that, he also found some vague and ambiguous traces left on his body.

Recalling the blushing scene in his dream, Meng Qiaoming felt his heart running wildly like a wild horse.

Oh my god! Wan'er and I...

Thinking of this, Meng Qiaoming's cheeks flushed and his breathing became rapid.

But at this time the person disappeared, which made his heart hang in the air and an inexplicable panic surged in his heart.

So he hurriedly got up from the bed and began to look around for the familiar figure.

However, he searched every corner of the room but could not find any trace of her. Just as he was becoming more and more anxious, his eyes suddenly fell on the table.

There was a piece of paper lying quietly there. He walked over quickly and picked up the paper. Sure enough, the beautiful handwriting on it was from Meng Hewan's hand.

There were a few simple words written on the note:

"I'll be away for two days."

Meng Qiaoming stared at the note, his heart tightening involuntarily, and countless possibilities suddenly emerged in his mind.

Could it be that Sister Wan'er regrets getting close to me?

Could it be that she is shy?

All kinds of speculations were intertwined in his mind, making him upset and uneasy.

Just as he was daydreaming, the door was suddenly pushed open and Gu walked in slowly.

Meng Qiaoming seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurried forward to hand the note in his hand to his mother for her to read.

After Gu took the note and looked at it carefully, his originally relaxed brows gradually furrowed, and a trace of worry and uneasiness that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.

"Wan'er, what do you mean? Why did you suddenly disappear? No, Ming'er, send someone to look for her."

Meng Qiaoming also came to his senses and immediately agreed to go out and find someone.

However, he didn't dare to look for her in a high-profile manner. After all, 'Meng Hewan' should have been married by now.

······

After Gu Fanchu and others left, they took everyone away secretly without leaving any trace.

She did not return to the general's mansion, but only sent someone to deliver a letter to her grandmother and the Taifu Mansion, then took people out of the city and went to the farm outside the city.

She now had to wait a few more days before going back, at least until Meng Hewan arrived at her fiefdom and everything was beyond redemption before giving the Marquis' Mansion a surprise.

It was a good opportunity for her to go and see the progress of the things she wanted.

After staying at the manor for three days, Fang Bo took her to visit the things that were being made. Due to the scarcity of materials, the progress was slow.

But as long as there is progress, Gu Fanchu feels there is hope.

Materials are scarce, so we need to solve the material problem and make sure to make the products before the supplies from the border are sent out.

Zhuangzi said: This year the weather has been favorable and it can be said to be a year of good harvest.

The vast cotton fields are like white clouds spreading across the fields, the cotton is long and soft;

The endless grain fields are golden and brilliant, and the heavy ears of grain bend the rice stalks, which means the harvest must be good.

The guard team led by Qian Bo has grown to a considerable size after a long period of arduous training, and its combat capability should not be underestimated.

Whether it is daily patrol or responding to emergencies, they are able to carry out their tasks in an orderly manner to ensure the safety of the village.

Over the past three days, Gu Fanchu has been immersed in the relaxed atmosphere after successfully dealing with Meng Hewan and Pei Qingan.

Whenever she thinks of this, the corners of her mouth will involuntarily rise, and her heart will be filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, she did not let her guard down because she knew there were more important things waiting for her to deal with.

In a few days, the people in the Marquis' Mansion will begin to show symptoms of poisoning.

Since returning to the capital, Gu Fanchu has always carefully concealed his skill in using poison, just to be able to escape unscathed at the critical moment.

For her, her own life and death had long been disregarded, but she would never implicate the General's Mansion and other innocent people.

To this end, she carefully planned every step of her action, striving to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

For her, these three days were as carefree as a fairy, but the other people in the marquis's mansion were not so happy.
