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

As a result, the next generation of the general's mansion was sparsely populated, especially women. Wang Shi had only one married daughter and no other unmarried daughters, which led her to often invite her cousins ​​to stay at her mansion for a short time, and specially arranged a separate courtyard for them.

However, the old lady was very old, and after experiencing such huge emotional fluctuations, her body soon felt exhausted.

Wang took Meng Fanchu to her new courtyard. As they happened to live next door to Wang Yuyan, the two of them walked together. Along the way, the woman was like a little bird, constantly introducing everything about the courtyard to her. There was a pond here, and in the summer, she could sit in the pavilion on the other side of the corridor.

Meng Fanchu looked at the familiar scene from his previous life, feeling mixed emotions.

At that time, I was trembling with fear and didn't dare to speak. I could only remain silent in the face of the care and concern of my grandmother and aunt. Because I was used to the freedom of the countryside since I was a child, I exuded a petty mind and was ridiculed by Gu Weiwei.

It was Wang Yuyan who saw that she was becoming increasingly silent, so she started arguing with Gu Weiwei and spoke up for her!

This was also the first warmth she felt after returning to this strange place, and it was particularly precious.

When I arrived at Lingxi Pavilion, it was just like the previous life. My aunt took great care of her niece who was about to return. Everything was the best. She even had a swing set up in the yard. However, it was winter and snowing, so a thin layer of snow soon accumulated on the swing that swayed in the wind.

The furnishings in the room were also in the style popular among the girls in Beijing. There were fresh plum blossoms picked this morning in the jade vase on the table.

Several maids stood respectfully aside, waiting to meet and be ordered by their new master. Their behavior was very proper, and it was obvious that they had been trained.

There was charcoal burning on all sides and the ground was covered with nanmu wood, so there was no feeling of cold at all.

Meng Fanchu bowed sincerely to Wang and said gratefully, "Aunt, you are so troubled. I am very grateful to you."

Seeing people like and appreciate the house she had carefully arranged and prepared was naturally a very happy thing, so she took Meng Fanchu's hand and said, "This will be your home from now on. Don't be shy or afraid. If there is anything wrong, just tell your aunt."

"I personally selected a few maids earlier. They all looked capable and will stay by your side to serve you. Okay, you should take a good rest first. Yan'er, let your sister rest first and come over later to invite her to dinner together."

Seeing that Wang Yuyan still wanted to stay here and chat with the girl, Wang quickly pulled her out with her.

Meng Fanchu originally wanted to keep Wang Yuyan. After all, her eyes were too straightforward, just like in the previous life, pure and sincere.

Unfortunately, she did not have a good ending in her previous life. She was framed and married to a playboy, and she was also his pursuer. Naturally, her life was extremely difficult, and she died at a young age.

This time, she wanted to prevent those things from happening and not repeat the tragedy of her previous life.

Only after Wang left did Meng Fanchu feel exhausted all over. She sat lazily on the couch, looking at the maids prepared by Wang. When she saw two familiar faces, her eyes flashed with coldness and her fingers curled up unconsciously.

In the previous life, I ended up like that, which was closely related to the two people around me. One of them drugged me in order to seduce the third prince, and the other one deliberately used something to frame me in order to please that person.

Being too ambitious and looking down on those who are superior to you will only put yourself in danger and ruin your reputation.

I absolutely cannot keep such a person around me anymore.

However, since she had just arrived, she naturally couldn't just send the person away. That would probably embarrass Wang and her grandmother. So, the person had to stay for the time being, and she could find an opportunity to send him away after some time.

She raised her bare hand, pointed at the dull-looking little maid standing behind her, dressed in gray-green, and asked, "What's your name?"

The little maidservant didn't seem to expect that the new master would actually call her name. After all, after they entered the mansion, there were special nannies to teach them. However, because she was rather dull and not good at speaking sweet words, she was not valued by the nanny.

So when she was arranged to come in, she followed behind. Originally, she thought that she could only be assigned to be a third-class cleaning maid, and the work of serving in the house would definitely not fall on her.

I didn't expect that this new lady would not play by the rules.

"I only have my old name, Chunhua. Please give me a name, young lady." The little maid walked forward respectfully and saluted according to the etiquette taught by the nanny.

"From now on, just call me Bai Li and serve me in the house." Meng Fanchu said gently with a faint smile on his face.

In the previous life, these maids all returned to the Marquis' Mansion with her. When everyone bullied her and even her other personal maids betrayed her, it was Bai Li who silently brought her food and drinks and served her wholeheartedly.

Just because of this, she was bullied even more badly, and the maids secretly tried to trip her up, but she never complained.

Until the end, she was falsely accused by the people in the house of stealing the master's things, and she didn't even have a chance to defend herself. When Meng Fanchu received the news and rushed over, the girl had been beaten to death and died soon after.

Thinking of Bai Li's miserable condition in his previous life, Meng Fanchu couldn't help feeling sad again.

Such talents should be kept by my side and protected well. Even though I didn’t have the ability in my previous life, I must protect them well in this life.

"Yes, thank you, Miss." Bai Li got a name and was able to serve closely in the house, which immediately made the other maids who were originally favored jealous. Some of them were eager to show themselves, but were afraid that their master would not like it.

Meng Fanchu saw it all, but ignored them. He looked at a little maid in purple sitting in the front row and named her Qiutang. She was also serving in the house. This maid had been obedient and stayed by his side in her previous life. She was a little smart and good at observing people's words and expressions. If such a person was trained well, she would definitely be of great use.

The key point is that she has a very smart brother who also works in the general's mansion. In his previous life, this man made a career after leaving the general's mansion and was also a very capable person. What she lacks most now is capable people, so if there is an opportunity, she must seize it.

Meng Fanchu selected two maids, and the other maids were not assigned for the time being. He just asked them to go out and wait, and the nanny would come to the yard later to make arrangements.

Those clever eyes were also very disappointed when they saw that they were not chosen to enter the house, and they even felt a little resentful in their hearts: They heard that this young lady came back from the countryside, and now it seems that they were really short-sighted.

However, they only dared to complain in their hearts, not showing it on their faces, and went down in disappointment.

Bai Li and Qiu Tang were assigned the task of serving in the house, and they were even more cautious and careful as they helped Meng Fanchu to rest on the bed.
