On the second day after the two young ladies' birthday party, the whole of Beijing became a hot topic of discussion.

One is a famous model daughter of a marquis, and the other is a young lady who suddenly appeared in a general's mansion. For some reason, the two mansions, which were originally related by marriage, came into conflict.

I heard that the banquet at the Marquis' Mansion that day was originally prepared to be very sumptuous, but in the end there were many empty seats, and even the Second Prince couldn't afford to attend.

It was said that the birthday party of the young lady who had just returned and was raised in the countryside was held. Almost all the famous families in the capital went to give gifts, and the fifth prince also went in person with the imperial edict.

This young lady who was originally ridiculed as coming from the countryside suddenly became a princess of noble status.

This sudden and huge change made the Marquis' Mansion feel extremely embarrassed and awkward, as if it had been slapped hard in the face.

In the Marquis' Mansion, Meng Qingwen, who had just finished the morning court, sat on a carved chair in the main hall with a sullen face. Thinking of the gloating words he had heard from his colleagues early in the morning, the fire in his heart could not be suppressed and rose.

The old lady also had an unpleasant look on her face. The Buddhist beads in her hand kept turning, and she tried hard to suppress the anger that was about to explode.

"Qingwen, look at what your wife has done!" The old lady thought of the humiliation of yesterday and couldn't help but get angry at Gu.

It's all because of this idiot. If she had handled the child who came back from outside well, the General's Mansion would not be so indifferent to their Marquis' Mansion, making them a laughing stock in the capital.

"Mother, there's no point in saying this now. We need to think about how to restore the Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion."

Meng Qingwen also looked down on his wife. If she was not the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion and was not useful, he would not have made her his legal wife.

"What else can we do? The child is already enrolled in the General's Mansion's main house, and the Yuan family's attitude is clear. There's no room for negotiation."

A trace of resentment flashed in Madam Meng's eyes.

When she and the old lady Meng from the general's mansion were young, they were both famous talented women in the capital. They had similar family backgrounds and were of similar age. She had been secretly competing with them back then.

Later, she married into a marquis's family. At that time, the marquis's family was not as decadent as it is now. At least it still looked bright and beautiful on the outside. She was proud of it for a long time and mocked Meng for marrying a warrior.

Who would have thought that over the years, the Marquis' Mansion has become increasingly decadent, while the General's Mansion has remained prosperous for a long time. Now even I have to act according to her mood!

How could she accept this!

Therefore, after Gu married into the Marquis's Mansion, she began to manipulate and suppress others in various ways, which made her feel superior!

Of course, they naturally never thought that the General's Mansion would be so decisive this time!

"Madam, Lord Marquis, the lady is here." The mother at the door came in to report.

Gu Ruyue, dressed in crimson purple clothes, walked in with an uneasy look on her face and respectfully greeted the old lady.

The old lady wanted to make things difficult, but when she saw her son winking at her, she could only respond reluctantly and asked her to stand up.

After what happened yesterday, Gu was very nervous.

"Madam, you have been busy preparing Wan'er's birthday party recently. Thank you for your hard work." Meng Qingwen had a distressed look on his face, but there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.

Gu Ruyue felt a little relieved when she heard her husband's gentle words. She looked at Meng Qingwen tenderly and said, "This is what I should do. You and I are one as husband and wife. There is no need to be so polite, husband."

The old lady curled her lips. Even though the target was her own son, she couldn't help but secretly curse that Gu was really as stupid as a pig!

"You saw it yesterday. Our mansion is currently... We don't mind it, but my parents-in-law have misunderstood us. I'm afraid it will affect our children in the future..."

Meng Qingwen looked worried.

Gu Ruyue thought about what happened yesterday. All the people who came were from small families. She was afraid that everyone would see that the Marquis' Mansion had no support now, and the future marriages of their children would definitely be affected.

When she thought about the future of her husband and children, Gu Ruyue became even more melancholy: "Husband, then...what should we do?"

She had never noticed it before, and now she was even more flustered.

The old lady exchanged a glance with her son, putting on a benevolent expression. "That child is truly blessed to have caught the eye of Your Majesty. After all, he is the blood of our Marquisate. My in-laws have misunderstood us on this matter to begin with. Why not... take the child back to the Marquisate?"

A daughter who already has the title of princess will definitely be helpful to the Marquis's Mansion in the future, and it can also repair the relationship between the two houses. It is like killing two birds with one stone.

"But Wan'er..." Gu hesitated.

"Wan'er is well-educated and will definitely understand our difficulties. We can then claim that they are twins and one was stolen."

The old lady curled her lips and said indifferently.

Don’t they just want that wild girl to return to her ancestral home? Anyway, the Marquis’ Mansion can afford to support a little girl. Once she enters the Marquis’ Mansion, they will have the final say on what to do with her.

Gu thought about it and felt that this was indeed feasible, so he agreed.

But the protagonist of the Marquis' Mansion yesterday now locked himself in his own yard.

She never thought that she would experience such a shameful thing!

This also made her realize that what was happening now was different from the original plot of the story!

The real daughter did not return to the Marquis' Mansion, and the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion deteriorated. They held birthday parties separately, and Gu Fanchu was named a princess.

Her original name should have been Meng Fanchu. Could it be that it changed because of her time travel?

This explanation seemed reasonable to Meng Hewan!

In that case, she would ignore everything else for now. After all, she came from the modern era, and the things in her head did not exist in this world!

Originally, there was a plot in the story that a disaster occurred in the capital city this winter, and many people in the slums in the capital were frozen to death!

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to give the Second Prince some of her own ideas, so that when the Second Prince showed up in front of His Majesty, it would also improve her reputation.

She waited and waited, but received no news of more people freezing to death. Later, she sent someone to inquire and found out that someone had already come up with a solution to this problem.

Although she didn't know what the solution was, she still felt disappointed.

Her mind raced, and she came up with a new idea. She swept away her previous frustration and immediately called the maid to whisper a few words in her ear.

The little maid looked up at the excited Meng Hewan in surprise and said embarrassedly: "Miss, this..."

After the young lady fell into the water, her behavior became more and more confusing. She used to behave properly and dignified, but now she seems like a different person.

"Just go if I tell you to. Nothing will happen! Go now."

Meng Hewan waved her hand indifferently and asked the maid to do as she instructed.

The little maid stood there for a moment, hesitated, gritted her teeth, and went out as the young lady instructed.
