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

Gu Huaijin also stood up at this time, and told his mother the good news with joy on his face: "Mom, Nan Yi is pregnant, and it has been more than a month."

The old lady finally heard clearly, and her anger disappeared. She clapped her hands happily: "Good...good...this is a great and happy event!"

Wang also hurried to congratulate him. Her younger uncle had been married for several years, but her sister-in-law had never been pregnant, which had been a source of worry for the old lady. Now, she had finally gotten pregnant.

When the old lady learned that it was Meng Fanchu who accidentally discovered that Li was pregnant, she was very relieved. If it weren't for this girl's medical skills, the baby would have been killed by those traitors.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. If those people really succeeded, her grandson would be in danger.

Thinking of this, the old lady's eyes became sharp. She must investigate this matter thoroughly and must not let those who have bad intentions go.

However, he did not mention it again. Instead, he asked the nanny to take out some high-quality supplements and interesting toys from the warehouse and asked Gu Huaijin to take them back.

After finding an excuse to let Gu Huaijin and Meng Fanchu go back first, the old lady restrained her smile and looked at Wang with a cold expression:

"Old lady, tell me, what exactly does Gu Ruyue mean? Does she really want to make an enemy of the General's Mansion?" The old lady sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression, her tone carrying clear displeasure and doubt. If she said Gu Ruyue's behavior was unintentional, few would believe it.

Wang looked at the old lady with some embarrassment and said hesitantly, "Mother, this..." After all, that was her mother-in-law's own daughter, and as a daughter-in-law, it was not easy for her to comment too much.

"Hmph, I think they've become more active these days. The Marquis's Mansion has gradually declined, and I'm afraid those with ill intentions have set their sights on our General's Mansion."

The old lady had experienced countless harem struggles and had a keen insight into this situation. She firmly believed that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"I'm afraid there are some in our house too. You should take the trouble to clean up the people in this house." The old lady's eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at Wang.

Wang's heart tightened, and she nodded quickly, "Yes, mother, don't worry, I will go check it out immediately."

She knew the seriousness of the matter. If someone really had bad intentions, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown, and a deep worry surged in her heart.

The general's mansion was not peaceful that night. Although Wang usually looked smiling, she was very decisive in doing things.

On the second day, when Meng Fanchu went to Songtao Garden to pay his respects to his grandmother again, he found that there were many unfamiliar faces among the servants in the mansion. They did things in a humble and submissive manner, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

It seems that Wang has found quite a few people.

However, she didn't care about those things. After paying her respects, she left the beauty ointment she had made in the past two days and returned to her yard.

Wang Yuyan had already gone back, so no one came to disturb her. After learning the etiquette from Nanny Wang in the morning, she read quietly in the room for a while, and then took out paper and pen to write and draw.

When Qiutang came back, she had already put away the paper with satisfaction. This was the business she had planned for the two shops. She would find a chance to discuss it with Manager Xue, and then they could start doing it.

"Miss." Qiutang quickly closed the door after entering, walked into the room and came to Meng Fanchu mysteriously.

"I just went to the front yard to inquire, and they said that someone from the Marquis' Mansion had arrived, wanting you to go and rescue the second young master of the Meng Mansion. Unfortunately, he was sent away by the old lady before she even saw him."

"Who is coming?" Meng Fanchu asked curiously.

"It's the steward from the Meng family. Speaking of which, this Marquis' Mansion is really arrogant. They wanted to ask for help, but they didn't even show any attitude. They only sent a steward."

Meng Fanchu sneered. The Marquis's Mansion wasn't just arrogant; it was completely shameless. After all the suffering he'd endured in his previous life, no one would believe the Marquis's Mansion would do such a thing to their real daughter.

It can only be said that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. However, Meng Fanchu did not care. Anyway, these things did not affect her at all.

In the end, Meng Chengfeng was imprisoned for three days before being released. Because of this incident, Meng Qingwen was scolded by the emperor when he went to court, saying that he had failed to teach his son well and had caused him to commit a crime in the street.

After returning home, Meng Qingwen asked someone to call the family law and made Meng Chengfeng kneel in the ancestral hall for three hours. However, Gu Ruyue could not bear to see her son being wronged, so she secretly ordered people to send cushions and snacks. It didn't look like he was being punished at all.

Meng Hewan also began to feel uneasy because the development of the story was out of her control. Not only did Meng Fanchu not return to the mansion, but he also caused a rift between the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion.

If she didn't have the support of the General's Mansion, her maternal family, how would she be able to marry the Third Prince as his principal wife in the future?

Moreover, she clearly felt that some people in the mansion had a different view of her. After all, because of her, the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion had become strained. Even when Meng Chengfeng was arrested, the General's Mansion stood by and watched.

And why would that Imperial Guard officer help Meng Fanchu? She was a woman who had just arrived in the capital and whose identity was unknown. She shouldn't have been acquainted with those nobles!

Unfortunately, Meng Hewan was of average intelligence and mediocre IQ in her previous life. At most, she had the advantage of compulsory education. If you really think about it, her brain is actually not enough.

Therefore, she could only wait for an opportunity to consolidate her reputation.

This wait lasted until the day before the birthday banquets held by the two mansions.

Meng Fanchu has been very cautious when going out recently. She took the two guards given to her by Wang and went to her second uncle's house to meet Xue Yang. After all, she didn't want to be exposed for the time being.

Xue Yang was indeed very smart. He got samples of the skin care cream, rouge and powder from Meng Fanchu, went back to study them carefully, and then made a plan.

One of the two shops sells skin care lotion and powder for women, and the other is too large, so it plans to be renovated and turned into a restaurant in the spring.

Because he was her second uncle's man, Meng Fanchu directly handed over all the matters to Xue Yang to prepare, and she only had to pay the money.

However, because he bought two shops and had to redecorate them, Meng Fanchu's money was reduced by more than half. Now he just hopes that these two shops can run smoothly and make more money.

The day before the birthday party, the old lady got up early and sat in the front hall waiting.

The old general sent someone to deliver a letter saying that he would be able to enter the city early this morning and would return after reporting to the palace.

Therefore, the whole mansion was filled with joy, and even the servants who were working had happy smiles on their faces.

Meng Fanchu was specially allowed to rest for half a day today. Gu Ce'an, who was originally going to school, was also allowed to wait at home. Even Gu Weiwei and Gu Xingfan from his second uncle's family arrived, and the entire front hall was very lively.

It was almost noon when the servants' joyful voices came from the door: "The general and the master are back!!"
