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

Seeing his uncle hesitate, Meng Fanchu quickly added, "Uncle, I'm just not going back for now. After all, I grew up in the countryside. If I go back rashly, people will definitely compare me to that girl. Then my parents will probably be very embarrassed. It's better for me to learn the rules first and then go back. That way, no one will make the mistake."

Gu Huaijin was convinced by this reason. He thought for a while, and finally nodded, relaxing his frown. "Okay, you come back to the general's mansion with me first, and we'll go back later."

Anyway, the general's mansion can afford to support a girl. If Chu'er goes to the marquis' mansion, who knows how she will be treated.

Meng Fanchu got the answer he wanted and no longer delayed his uncle's business. He happily bowed and left.

After a while, Gu Huaijin took advantage of the moonlight and went out again, not knowing what he was doing.

On the second day, a caravan of horse-drawn carriages entered Chang'an City in a low-key manner. My uncle asked the housekeeper to take the caravan directly back to Shengping Street, while he took Meng Fanchu back to the general's mansion first.

Because my uncle did not become an official, he moved out with his wife and lived alone in a house on Shengping Street a few years ago.

But he had to bring his niece back to the general's mansion first.

The General's Mansion is located on Xuanyang Street, not far from Shengping Street. It is a mansion bestowed by the emperor, so it is naturally very spacious and magnificent.

The two stone lions on the left and right of the door are solemn and majestic. Through the vermilion gate, you can vaguely see layers of glazed tiles. In this winter, they are covered with a layer of white snow, alternating between red and white, which is very eye-catching.

Returning to this place again, Meng Fanchu felt a sense of emotion and sadness. If it weren't for her, the General's Mansion wouldn't have ended up like that. If she could do it all over again, she would definitely protect everyone in the General's Mansion!

After regaining my composure, I just got off the carriage and saw two young women waiting at the door with their maids and servants, just like in the previous life.

This is my eldest uncle's cousin and a girl of the same generation from my second uncle's family in the general's mansion.

There are still two families living in the general's mansion.

After my grandfather inherited the title, he also went to the battlefield and won merits. The title of the great general who defended the country was earned through his strength.

My grandfather had a half-brother, and they had a good relationship when they were young. Unfortunately, the uncle died of illness at a young age, leaving behind his wife and young children.

The two of them still stayed in the general's mansion, but the grandfather still took good care of the child, helping him to go to school, get married and have children. For the general's mansion, it was just an extra pair of chopsticks, and the relationship between the descendants was still good.

However, there were some things that made my grandmother not very fond of this great aunt, but on the surface she still got along.

"Chu'er, let me introduce you. This is your aunt's cousin Yuyan. She's staying here for a while. She's older than you, so you should call her sister. This is your uncle's cousin Weiwei. She's younger than you, so you're the older sister."

Gu Huaijin saw that Meng Fanchu did not show any nervousness or fear, and he admired in his heart that this child was not a timid person. If he was taught well in the future, he would definitely become a great person.

Meng Fanchu looked at Wang Yuyan, who was wearing an elegant Suzhou embroidered Yuehua silk cotton dress and a light green fox fur cloak. She had a simple butterfly feather hairpin on her head and was holding a hot water bottle in her hand. Her little face was a little red from the cold, and when she saw her coming down, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly lit up.

The other Gu Weiwei was wearing a gorgeous red coat made of luxurious material and novel style. She also had a set of pearl and jade hairpins on her head, and her expression was also quite interesting.

She was still young at that time and didn't know how to hide the obvious hostility on her face.

Thinking back to her previous life, she had often helped the time-traveling girl to bully her, and kicking someone when they were down was her specialty.

At the same time, the two people opposite were also looking at the new sister.

She was about the same height as her, and was wearing a small cotton jacket with pink rabbit fur trim. The hem swayed slightly as she walked after getting off the car. A white rabbit fur ball hat covered the woman's small head, and a few strands of soft hair appeared under the brim.

Her little face was indeed very similar to those of the Gu family, and her beauty was already evident. However, her face was now red from the cold wind, which complemented her pink outfit perfectly. She looked like a small flower in the snow, petite and cute.

"This must be Sister Chu, come in with me, it's freezing outside. Here, take this."

Wang Yuyan liked her new sister very much. She touched the girl's cold little hand and quickly put the hot water bottle in her hand.

"Don't worry, sister. Come find me when you have nothing to do. I live on Yankang Street. Although it's a bit far, it won't delay anything."

Meng Fanchu smiled brightly at Wang Yuyan, his voice becoming sweeter and sweeter: "Thank you, Sister Yuyan."

Gu Huaijin watched them get along harmoniously with satisfaction. When he saw the expression on Gu Weiwei's face, his temper turned even colder: "Let's go in first."

The general's mansion is very spacious. After entering the gate, you will see the courtyard of the main hall, with side rooms and a sedan chair waiting room on both sides. After passing through the winding corridor, you will arrive at the reception room.

Along the way, Meng Fanchu kept his eyes straight ahead, only occasionally saying a few words to Wang Yuyan beside him. His behavior was impeccable, and the nanny who came out to greet him behind him nodded secretly.

In the reception room, the maids lifted the curtain that blocked the wind and called out, "The Second Master and the young ladies are here."

Meng Fanchu followed his second uncle into the house and felt the warmth inside. He relaxed a little, but did not speak first. He respectfully performed the salute to the elders and stood quietly at the back.

She knew that everyone in the room was looking at her, but she didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt warmer. These people treated her sincerely!

A pair of hands, somewhat old but extremely warm, came over and held her while she was stunned. Meng Fanchu's eyes felt a little sore. She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her, tears falling silently.

"You've suffered, child."

Mrs. Gu only took one look and was sure that the child was from her Gu family.

Those eyebrows, eyes, and facial features are not only 50% similar to his daughter, but also similar to himself when he was young.

Meng Fanchu was pulled into that warm embrace. Hearing the sobbing voice of his grandmother, his hands could not help but hug the old lady's body. It was so warm...

Looking at the two people hugging and crying, Wang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stepped forward to persuade them, "Mother, don't be too sad. Look at the child's appearance. He must be tired from running all the way. Why don't you sit down first?"

Wang was the second daughter of the Minister of the Secretariat, and her marriage to Gu Yunye, the master of the General's Mansion, was considered a perfect match, and the two had lived in harmony for many years.

Wang was a kind person and good at managing the household. Gu Yunye was not at home all year round, so there were no concubines or maids in the family. She was in charge of all the affairs of the mansion, big and small. She was a powerful figure and knew the old lady's temperament very well.
