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

Gu Fanchu slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Meng Hewan who was standing in front of Meng Chengfeng. She looked like a delicate little white flower, but pretending to be strong.

Gu Fanchu's soft voice was filled with inquiry. "Is this the Miss Meng that Second Young Master Meng said I am far inferior to?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room had different expressions. Gu Fanchu made no effort to hide his displeasure and instead spoke frankly.

The old lady had an indifferent expression on her face. It was obvious that she was already accustomed to Gu Fanchu's frankness and direct expression of dissatisfaction. Compared with the hypocrisy of the Marquis's family, she felt that her dear little granddaughter pleased her more.

The Meng family members, however, looked as frosty as if frozen by ice. Meng Hewan felt a lump in her throat. She had never expected Gu Fanchu to be so stupid as to dare to say such words in public. Did she really not want to return to the Marquis' Mansion? These were her family.

In the current situation, there is no need for him to take action at all. Gu Fanchu has already offended all the members of the Meng family.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Feng'er is still young, and her personality is like that straight poplar. It's inevitable that she will speak inappropriately."

"Nine years old? I once heard my grandmother say that my cousin was already able to go to the training ground with my grandfather to practice martial arts when he was only nine years old. He was even able to draw an entire military training map. The Second Young Master Meng's glorious past deeds cannot be easily erased by saying he was young."

Gu Fanchu stared at Meng Hewan's pale face, which was slightly distorted due to frustration, and spoke slowly without any mercy.

When Gu heard this, she became unhappy instantly. Wan'er had already taken the initiative to apologize to Gu Fanchu, but she actually accused him in person. Did she really think she was Feng'er's sister?

"He's just a little straightforward. He'll get better as he grows up."

Gu looked at Gu Fanchu with displeasure, frowned, and continued, "I just said a few words to you, but you asked the guards to put Feng'er in jail. How can you be so petty?"

Gu Fanchu's cold gaze shifted from Meng Hewan to Gu Shi, and the chilling coldness actually made Gu Shi want to retreat.

"Madam, why don't you look at what you are saying? Ask the Marquis, is it possible for a little girl like me to order the Imperial Guards around? If the Second Young Master hadn't behaved so rudely and even attempted to commit violence in the street, would he have been arrested by Master Ji? I'm really a poor parent and I'm putting the blame on others."

"Also, am I petty? Others are trying to harm me, so why should I be so generous and forgive them? He has nothing to do with me, so why should I forgive him?"

Although Gu Fanchu sounded heartless and indifferent, the old lady felt very distressed.

Such a child who was abandoned right after birth finally came back, but instead of being comforted and loved by his biological parents, he was blamed everywhere.

The old lady couldn't understand how there could be such heartless parents in the world.

"You...he is your brother."

Gu didn't expect Gu Fanchu to say such outrageous words. She really didn't have her mother in her eyes.

"Madam Hou, he's not my brother, he's Meng Hewan's brother. When you rejected me for the butcher's daughter, it was destined that I would have no relationship with you."

After Gu Fanchu said this, he felt very happy.

Don’t they like Meng Hewan? Then just keep liking her. Don’t let her down and don’t get involved with her. Meng Hewan has been trying hard to hide her bloodline, so she will tear it apart and see who is more embarrassed and who is more sad.

Sure enough, when the Meng family heard Gu Fanchu bluntly state Meng Hewan's identity, their faces turned very ugly.

Meng Qiaoming and Meng Chengfeng looked directly at Gu Fanchu with eyes full of hatred. The old lady accidentally glanced over and was shocked, her face became even uglier.

The Meng family is actually so affectionate towards this imposter!

Meng Hewan had cursed Gu Fanchu hundreds of times in her heart. This bitch actually dared to casually reveal her life experience. Today was fine because only two families knew the inside story. What if she went out in the future?

If that bitch says something casually at that time, I'm afraid my reputation in the capital will be ruined.

No, she couldn't let this happen.

Meng Hewan's figure, which was already as slender as a willow, shook suddenly, and her delicate little face became even paler, like a candle in the wind, swaying and about to fall, like a delicate little flower blown down by the wind.

Meng Qiaoming, who was standing behind, had been paying close attention to Meng Hewan's condition. When he saw her swaying, he hurried forward and hugged the fragile girl tightly. He couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, and his love for her was beyond words: "Wan'er."

Meng Hewan did not respond to Meng Qiaoming, but her eyes were filled with tears. She suppressed her sadness, and her voice trembled like a leaf in the wind:

"I know... I'm sure you resent me for taking your place. Wan'er is just greedy. After years of meticulous care from my parents and brothers, I know my status doesn't suit me to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. But... Wan'er just wanted to fulfill my filial duty and repay the Marquis's kindness in raising me. I never thought I'd cause you so much pain... Don't worry, as long as you're no longer angry, I... I'll leave the Mansion immediately."

After saying this, she turned around again and knelt before Meng Qingwen and Gu Yingying, saying tearfully, "Father... Lord Marquis, Madam, Wan'er has been so grateful for your loving care over the years. I can never repay you in this life, but I only hope... in the next life... that I can serve you both well."

Even though Meng Qingwen wanted to ease the relationship with the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel unhappy at the moment. After all, this was the daughter he had raised for more than ten years, and she was also a daughter who could bring him benefits. However, he didn't speak up because he knew that the Gu family would definitely not let Wan'er leave.

As expected, Gu looked at her beloved daughter with tears streaming down her face, and uttered such heartbreaking words. She immediately stepped forward, tightly grasped Meng Hewan's hand, and said firmly:

"Wan'er, stop talking nonsense. You are the daughter of the Marquis's family. Where can you go? You will always be the apple of our eye."

"Yes, sister." Meng Qiaoming hurriedly helped Meng Hewan up and let her snuggle in his arms. The pity in his eyes was like a clear spring, difficult to conceal: "You will always be my only sister."

After saying that, he glared at Gu Fanchu fiercely. Gu Fanchu just watched them act out like this, without any sadness in his heart.

However, the old lady and Wang Shi on the side looked at this annoying scene and kept stealing glances at Gu Fanchu, fearing that she would feel sad.

The old lady was naturally very angry. This Meng Hewan was just a little bitch. She was just pretending to be nice so that the people in the Marquis' Mansion would resent Chu'er even more. Only those people in the Marquis' Mansion who were not good at judging people would be deceived.

She was about to open her mouth to scold him, but was stopped by Gu Fanchu, who gave her a comforting look, as if to say, "Don't worry."
