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

After this day, several personal maids in Qinghua Palace could no longer serve the Imperial Concubine for various reasons, but some second-class maids were promoted. For a while, the other maids in the palace had different thoughts and were thinking of ways to show their faces in front of the Imperial Concubine.

However, Concubine Xi blocked the news, and the person behind it did not discover it for the time being.

Gu Fanchu has not gone out these days. She is waiting for Xue Yang to make the box, and then wait until next month's Spring Banquet, ready to make a name for herself then.

And the expected person also came to the general's mansion.

Because of the last incident, the Marquis' Mansion has been ridiculed by people in the capital for a long time. Even the daughter of the third wife would be talked about behind her back by the daughters of other wealthy families when she went out to attend a banquet.

Some people naturally couldn't wait any longer. Meng Qiaoming had already arranged for a promotion, but there had been no news recently, so it was likely that it would not happen.

Finally, Meng Qingwen personally brought Gu Ruyue and three children, pulled a cart full of gifts, and came to the general's mansion in full view of everyone to apologize.

Meng Qingwen was always good at disguising himself. As soon as he got off the carriage, he said to the gatekeeper who opened the door at the general's mansion: "Today, I, the son-in-law, have come to apologize to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

With so many people watching around, he wanted to force the General's Mansion to agree.

Upon hearing the news, Wang put down the account book in her hand and smiled sarcastically, "This Marquis is as shameless as ever! I wonder what my sister-in-law sees in him."

The mother on the side was so shocked that she immediately looked around. Seeing that there was no outsider, she whispered to comfort him, "Madam, this... please don't say it anymore. Those gossipers will hear it and might say bad things about you in the old lady's ears."

After all, Gu Ruyue is the old lady's biological daughter. She wouldn't be so heartless and ignore her.

"You dare to say that even in front of my mother-in-law. Let's go meet the Marquis and see what his family is up to this time!"

With a cold look on her face, Wang stood up and walked out with her maid.

When they arrived at the door, they saw that Meng Qingwen had already asked Meng Chengfeng to kneel down at the door of the general's mansion. On one side stood Gu, who was panic-stricken and distressed, and on the other side stood Meng Hewan, whose eyes were red and she kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Even Wang's mother, who had just tried to comfort her, couldn't help but spit: This whole family has no shame.

"Hey, isn't this the Marquis and his wife? What's going on? Why is the second son of the Meng family kneeling at the door of the general's mansion? If outsiders saw this, they might even impeach my general's mansion for oppressing your family."

After all, Wang has been in charge of the family for many years. Her aura naturally gives people a sense of nobility, and her words are more majestic.

Seeing someone coming, Meng Qingwen hurried forward, her face full of apology: "Sister-in-law, Cheng Feng actually dared to act wild in the street that day. It was all my fault for not disciplining him properly. Today I specially brought this unruly son to your house to apologize."

Meng Qiaoming, who was standing by, immediately gave Meng Chengfeng a look. His legs, already numb from kneeling, he immediately howled at Wang: "Aunt... Feng'er knows he was wrong. Please forgive me, you and Grandmother!"

Wang's face was already darkening with fear. Were the people in the Marquis' Mansion really brainless? They were still howling at the gate of the General's Mansion, trying to give them a bad reputation.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The Second Young Master stopped the carriage of our General's Mansion in the street and committed a crime. The Imperial Guards have already taught him a lesson, so naturally we have nothing to say."

Since they have no shame, she doesn't need to save face for them.

"But you should know that it was just a child's quarrel. It's mainly your attitude towards Miss Meng that has chilled Old Madam's heart! Last time, it almost got her mother-in-law... Well, family disgrace shouldn't be made public. Why don't you come in first, Marquis and Madam?"

The onlookers were shocked to hear that it wasn't just the Second Young Master stopping the carriage? It was also related to the Third Young Lady of the Marquisate. This...it's true that even the rich and powerful have so many melons!

Gu Ruyue looked at Wang with some resentment. Why was this sister-in-law so outspoken, talking about Guan Wan'er and herself... If someone with ulterior motives heard it, what would they think of them?

Meng Qingwen was also afraid that Wang would reveal the secrets if she continued, so he quickly followed her instructions and went into the general's mansion, leaving behind a group of onlookers.

When they entered the general's mansion, the old lady was already waiting for them in the front hall.

When Wang received the news and went to the front yard, she sent a maid to report.

The old lady knew why the family came, but she didn't expect that they also brought that impostor. It was really confusing. After thinking about it, she sent someone to call Gu Fanchu as well. After all, she was now a member of the general's mansion, and it was impossible for her to never see them again in her life.

Gu Fanchu received the news and learned that Meng Hewan was coming today. He began to feel a little excited. After all, this was the first time he met her in this life.

In this life, she is no longer the woman who begs for attention in order to win the love of her loved ones. She wants them to watch how she destroys them.

Gu Fanchu asked Bai Li to dress her up and put on the clothes given by her aunt, a light pink palace dress with light blue butterflies embroidered on the hem of the skirt, ready to fly. Her hair was delicately tied behind her head, and a pink jade lotus hairpin with pearls and a velvet flower with gold bead stamens were inserted in her hair.

She already has bright features, and this outfit makes her look even more beautiful, like a fairy.

When going to the battlefield, you have to wear a battle uniform. After all, it is the first time we meet, so how can you be casual?

When she reached the front hall, the Marquis' family was already seated. The Marquis was smiling and apologizing to the old lady: "Mother-in-law, it's all because of my poor parenting that Feng'er did such a rude thing! Today, even if you hit him or scold him, we have no complaints."

Meng Qingwen only talked about Meng Chengfeng stopping the carriage and did not mention at all that he was unwilling to exchange his own daughter.

After all, Meng Hewan grew up under the old lady's care, so she wouldn't really have no feelings for her at all. They just care about the friendship they have had for more than ten years, so either side is reasonable.

"Feng'er didn't stop my carriage. If he wants to apologize, he should apologize to the person he stopped. It has nothing to do with an old woman like me."

The old lady has been struggling and feeling uncomfortable in her heart these years. After all, she is her own daughter, and it is her responsibility to raise her like this. However, what the Marquis' Mansion has done over the years has made her feel heartbroken.

Therefore, the reason for severing the ties between the two families this time was simply because they did not want the Marquis' Mansion to use the General's Mansion's reputation to do things.

Meng Qingwen was speechless for a moment. Logically, this was the case, but that girl... She was his biological daughter, but Feng'er had told him that she was an unruly child who grew up in the countryside, and it would be useless to bring her back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Originally, he had discussed with Gu that they would keep the baby on a farm outside and keep it secret from the outside world.

Unexpectedly, the General's Mansion took a tough stance, which made the relationship between the two families become strained.

"Grandma, I heard you weren't feeling well a few days ago... Wan'er was very worried and couldn't come to see you. It's Wan'er's fault."
