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

In the end, Meng Qingwen and Gu Ruyue repeatedly comforted her, saying that they would not neglect her because of her real daughter's return. Only then did Meng Hewan "reluctantly" agree to stay in the Marquis' Mansion.

That's why when the old lady asked Gu Ruyue to go to the general's mansion, Gu Ruyue was so determined not to let Meng Fanchu return to the marquis' mansion and had to keep him outside.

Of course, what Meng Hewan originally thought was that in the original story, the real daughter Meng Fanchu was willing to return to the Marquis' Mansion even if it meant compromising because she longed for family affection.

Of course, after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, no one in the mansion liked her. The real daughter was weak in character and suffered a lot to gain everyone's recognition.

Therefore, after she had made the previous moves, when Meng Fanchu returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she could use her own advantages to highlight the rudeness of this real daughter and make the people in the Marquis' Mansion even more disgusted.

Moreover, in the original story, Meng Fanchu also knew medical skills, so he could hint to her that the people in the Marquis' Mansion did not like girls to show off those strange things, and then let her medical skills be used for his own benefit, and he could use this to get more benefits later.

However, unfortunately, Meng Fanchu did not follow Gu back. He did not dare to ask directly, so he just eavesdropped on the conversation between Gu and Meng Qingwen in the study. He heard that the general's mansion did not want Meng Fanchu to suffer any grievances, so if he did not come back, he would be kept in the general's mansion.

Meng Hewan thought about it and decided that it would be better if she didn't come back, so that her identity as a fake rich girl wouldn't be exposed.

However, because she had just traveled through time, she didn't dare to do many things openly. She could only wait for a while until she had laid the groundwork before she began to think about making some ambitious plans.

However, her family still knew about her identity. In order to prevent her from being harmed, the old lady gave an order that if anyone in the mansion gossiped about her, they would be immediately sold out.

The Marquis' Mansion was already in decline, and they were still counting on this outstanding daughter to enter the royal family, so naturally there could not be any mistakes.

In order to appease Meng Hewan, Gu also proposed the idea of ​​holding a grand celebration for Wan'er's birthday in half a month. The old lady thought about it for a while and agreed.

After all, when it’s Meng Hewan’s birthday, the prince can be invited, and the marriage can be finalized at that time, and it will also be shown to everyone in the capital that the Marquis’ Mansion will be related to the royal family in the future.

So, Gu began to prepare for the banquet in a grand manner. Even if her dowry had to be used to show off, she was willing to do so as long as it was for the Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis' Mansion sent invitations to all the powerful people in the capital, and people outside were talking about it with relish. The Marquis' Mansion really loved this daughter.

The invitation was naturally also delivered to the general's mansion.

Although they were unwilling to get close to the General's Mansion and be restricted by it, they still wanted to use the General's Mansion's influence to invite some powerful nobles in the capital, and also wanted to build some connections for the Third Prince.

What's more, the people in the Marquis' Mansion have always been shameless. They think that Gu is the second daughter of the General's Mansion. Even if she lacks etiquette in her daily life, the General's Mansion will definitely not ignore this daughter.

That's why he is so shameless that he disdains to make friends with the General's Mansion, but at the same time he uses the General's Mansion's reputation to gain a lot of benefits.

Although the old lady said that day that she would no longer have any contact with the couple, the people in the Marquis' Mansion just thought it was just an angry remark and still sent an invitation.

When the old lady received the invitation, she was so angry that she dropped the newly prepared set of teacups to the ground, breaking them into pieces.

"How foolish! They actually went to such great lengths to celebrate that imposter's birthday! Did they forget that it was also Chu Er's birthday?"

The maidservant on the side looked at the broken teacups with heartache. These were bought by the second master from Persia. They were very rare and special. Now that two of them were broken, the whole set was of little value.

"Old Madam, have you forgotten what your cousin told you? Don't get angry. Your health is more important."

When she heard Meng Fanchu's name being mentioned, the old lady's temper calmed down.

If Chu'er hadn't been there last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here. That poor little girl, if I hadn't been here, who knows how much injustice she would have suffered in the future.

"I'm just so angry. How could there be such a foolish person?" The old lady couldn't understand why someone would dislike their own child. "When will the old general and the master arrive?"

Qing Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "Yesterday, the young master said that the old master sent a message saying that we will be able to reach the capital in eight or nine days."

After winning the battle this time, the old general and my uncle will return to Beijing together. The emperor will definitely reward them. Moreover, the old general will not go to the border again after his return. He is old and was injured when he was young, and now his health is not as good as before.

"Let Wang go and prepare. We will hold a birthday party and a family reunion party for Chu'er in half a month. Let her take care of the guests. There's no need to go to the Marquis' Mansion."

Qing Yuan and Bi Luo looked at each other. The old lady wanted to confront the Marquis' Mansion directly and not give this relative any face at all.

Although I felt that something was wrong, as a servant I naturally couldn't persuade her too much. I could only report the matter to the eldest lady truthfully and see what she would decide.

When Wang heard the news, she was silent for a moment. She naturally understood what her mother-in-law meant. She was afraid that if this happened, the whole capital would know that the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion were not on good terms.

But when she thought about what the Marquis' Mansion had done, Wang felt that it was excusable, so she agreed.

Within two days, all the noble families in the capital received invitations from the Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion. Everyone found it incredible...

The General's Mansion was talking about holding a birthday party and a family reunion party for the children adopted by the eldest wife. After all, everyone knew that General Gu and Gu Dalang were coming back.

However, the Marquis' Mansion said that they wanted to hold a birthday party for the eldest daughter. The two girls had birthdays on the same day, but the General's Mansion showed no mercy and held the party on the same day as well, inviting the dignitaries in the capital.

Moreover, some people who are interested have discovered that the Marquis' Mansion sent an invitation to the General's Mansion, but the General's Mansion did not send an invitation to the Marquis' Mansion. Does this mean that the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion are not getting along?

Those who received two invitations felt it was too hot to handle, as they were bound to offend one side.

When the people in the Marquis' Mansion learned the news, Madam Meng was so angry that she called Gu over and scolded her. Gu also felt aggrieved and wanted to go to the General's Mansion to find her mother to ask for clarification, but she was told that the old lady had become ill because of her anger that day and was still recovering.

As a result, she was labeled as unfilial, and even her own mother became sick due to anger. No wonder the General's Mansion wanted to compete with the Marquis' Mansion.

However, Meng Qingwen was not afraid. He had a wide network of contacts in the capital, and he did not believe that those people would abandon him and go to the general's mansion, so he did not care at all and just asked Gu to prepare well.

When Meng Fanchu received the news, he went to his grandmother's yard to comfort her. He didn't care about those false reputations. It was already a very happy thing to be able to stay with his relatives and be protected by them.
