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

Three months later, the simple and innocent girl who saved him seemed to have become a different person. The only thing that remained unchanged was her bright eyes.

It's still pure inside.

Either there is nothing wrong with this person, or she is very good at disguising herself.

Shi Jinyan was silent for a moment, then sat down on the stool opposite Meng Fanchu.

"No wonder the young lady and I agreed to meet in the capital. It turns out that she had already planned to go to the capital. Did she recognize me at the time?"

Meng Fanchu knew that no one would believe her story, so she couldn't tell the truth. "Master Shi, you can investigate. I just came to the capital for the first time a few days ago. Before that, I had been living in the mountains. What I said back then was just a casual remark. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to actually come to the capital."

Shi Jinyan recalled the results of the investigation he had done yesterday, and there was indeed no trace.

But he didn't expect that this little village girl without parents whom he met in the deep mountains was actually the real daughter of the Dongqing Marquis Mansion.

However, the Marquis' Mansion had no intention of recognizing this daughter, which was a strange thing. After all, their own bloodline was scattered outside, but they loved the fake daughter in the mansion very much. However, those people in the Meng family had some problems with their brains, otherwise they would not have displeased the emperor.

"I have already prepared the one thousand taels of gold that the young lady wanted." Shi Jinyan did not continue to investigate. The fact that this woman was able to convince the people in the general's mansion to let her stay under a different name showed that she was capable.

and······

She also had some medical skills. After using medicine on her own wounds, she was able to get up and continue her journey in three days. When the imperial physician in the capital examined her again, he was amazed.

Maybe it will be useful in the future.

When Meng Fanchu saw this, the guard behind Shi Jinyan took out a box and opened it. There was indeed glittering gold inside.

"Thank you, Lord Shi. Bai Li, please accept it." This was the money she had earned by saving his life, so naturally she felt at ease accepting it.

"If everything is fine, I'll take my leave first." Shi Jinyan had no other thoughts in his mind, so he stood up and was about to leave.

Meng Fanchu intervened, "Master Shi, I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Shi Jinyan stopped and looked at Meng Fanchu in confusion.

"A couple of days ago, I made an immature suggestion to my cousin, but the more I think about it, the more feasible it seems to me. My cousin has a lot of concerns, so why don't you listen to it, Lord Shi?"

Since her cousin was always hesitant, she found him a reliable partner.

Without waiting for Shi Jinyan to ask, Meng Fanchu brought up the idea of ​​the "fire bed". Although Shi Jinyan remained calm on the surface, he had some thoughts in his mind.

This woman was quite clever. She had told Gu Xunzhou about her plan, and then told herself about it. She must have wanted to help him. In the end, Shi Jinyan didn't express her opinion, and Meng Fanchu didn't ask any more questions. After a cup of tea, the two of them parted ways.

On the way back, Bai Li held the box tightly in her arms, which seemed very unreal.

This is one thousand taels of gold! The young lady has become rich overnight!

After returning to the general's mansion, Meng Fanchu first went to pay his respects to his grandmother, and then returned to the yard. He saw the two little maids still nervously guarding the box containing gold, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, it's just something external to you. Look how nervous you two are."

Seeing Meng Fanchu's indifferent look, Qiutang couldn't help but say: "Miss, this is one thousand taels of gold..."

"I know it's one thousand taels of gold. Don't worry, follow me in the future and I won't let you suffer."

This one thousand taels of gold is enough for her to open several shops. She needs to sort it out and decide what to do first. She guessed that her second uncle would come to her first, and then she could ask her uncle for advice.

"Bai Li, tomorrow ask Muzi to find out if there are any unused farms for sale near the capital. It would be best if they could grow some crops, fruit trees, or something like that."

With the money, the two maids became much bolder. They now felt that everything the young lady did was right.

"Yes, I will ask my brother to find out."

After Meng Fanchu finished explaining everything, she prepared to take a rest. Now she had plenty of time, so she relaxed more than ever before. After a while, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

The two maids put the gold into the secret cabinet under the bed, and when they saw that Meng Fanchu had fallen asleep, they left.

There was peace and quiet at the general's mansion. Although the old lady felt sorry for Meng Fanchu, Meng Fanchu behaved very calmly and followed Nanny Wang obediently to learn the rules and etiquette. She would come to greet her and amuse herself when she had nothing to do. While the old lady felt relieved, she was also disappointed with her daughter.

Therefore, the words she said to Gu Ruyue last time were not just angry words! As for the Meng Mansion's actions, she was afraid that it would implicate the General's Mansion. In this case, she couldn't let the General's Mansion be put in danger.

Compared to the tranquility of the general's mansion, the marquis's mansion is not so peaceful.

Meng Hewan's temperament has changed drastically since she fell into the lake and was rescued.

First he burst into tears and laughter, then he started shouting, "God help me, I am the destined protagonist!"

He also said some inexplicable things, which scared Gu Ruyue so much that she thought her daughter was possessed by a ghost, so she wanted to find a monk to exorcise the evil spirit.

In the end, Meng Hewan came to her senses, took her aside and comforted her, and the matter was finally dropped.

The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion has always been very fond of this granddaughter, who is dignified and elegant in manners. She has placed great hopes on her and hopes that she can marry the prince or the emperor, so that the Marquis' Mansion can move up a level.

Meng Hewan is indeed no longer herself. Her soul comes from the 21st century. She is a stay-at-home girl in her thirties. Apart from going to work, she stays at home watching TV series. She didn't expect that she could travel through time and space to become the protagonist. Naturally, she was very happy.

She knew that she was a fake daughter, but so what? Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion doted on her very much, including her elderly grandmother, her father and elder brother who served in the court, her nine-year-old brother, and even the third prince, who was the real daughter's marriage, all sided with her.

Then, as long as she can stabilize these people and seize some opportunities, she can control them all. As for the real daughter, she will not let her disrupt her life at all.

So, on the second day after she fell into the lake, she pretended to have 'accidentally' known her true identity, and then she cried to Gu, taking a step back to advance, saying that she was willing to give up her identity as the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, leave the Marquis' Mansion, and bring the real daughter back.

She also inadvertently revealed the Third Prince's love for her and her own sadness at being unable to stay in the Marquis' Mansion to fulfill her filial duties. Sure enough, Gu's feelings for this daughter she had raised since childhood naturally surpassed those for her real daughter whom she had never met and was raised in the mountains.

So I immediately said that I would not let her be sad, hugged her and called her my sweetheart, and kept comforting her.
