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

Old Madam Meng let Meng Qingwen inherit the title, and her second son Meng Yinshu also stayed in the Marquis' Mansion and is now a seventh-rank Shangshu Dushi.

There were quite a few people in the two sons' rooms, and the entire mansion was bustling with activity.

But the most favored children are naturally Meng Qingwen's children.

Meng Qingwen has only one daughter.

The more clever people thought about everything that had happened in the Marquis' Mansion during this period, and naturally thought of this person as the Marquis's daughter Meng Hewan.

If Meng Hewan is really the biological daughter of this couple, then isn't the Marquis' Mansion helping others raise a child?

this····

This is interesting.

After all, everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion has been raised in luxury since childhood, and has been favored by both the Marquis's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

But for some reason, when Meng Hewan was about five years old, the general's mansion suddenly became less close to her. I guess they found out that this was a fake?

That makes sense.

Why did Meng Chengfeng stop the carriage of the young lady who had just returned from the General's Mansion in the street, and why did the General's Mansion break off the relationship with the Marquis' Mansion?

I'm afraid the people in the Marquis' Mansion also know that this daughter is fake, but they are still willing to raise her as their real daughter.

····Your circle is so chaotic!

Meng Qiaoming's face became increasingly gloomy, so dark that it seemed as if ink was dripping out.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Gu's face flushed red as she retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Wan'er is my daughter. Don't even think about taking her away..."

Meng Hewan, who was hiding inside the door, secretly said "idiot".

Are they afraid that others don’t know that the daughter they are talking about is her, Meng Hewan?

Sure enough, when the people around heard this, they looked as if they had expected it.

Meng Qiaoming also frowned, but did not blame Gu. He said in a deep voice to the servant standing nearby, "Drive these two swindlers away. If they come here to make trouble again, I will send them to the government!"

After all, the Marquis' Mansion still has some prestige, so it will be possible to arrest them when the time comes.

But...these two can't stay.

A cold look flashed in Meng Qiaoming's eyes.

The servants of the Marquis' Mansion immediately stepped forward, grabbed the collars of the two men, and beat them violently. They screamed continuously, and soon they were taken away from the door of the Marquis' Mansion.

Meng Qiaoming helped Gu into the Marquis' Mansion, and the door closed again.

When the people saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they automatically dispersed, but they were still chatting with the people next to them.

In the crowd, a figure quickly left and headed towards the general's mansion.

When Gu Fanchu heard the news sent by Muzi, he was lying lazily and without any image on the chaise longue.

Huh~

Everyone says that Meng Hewan is gentle, generous, virtuous and kind, and is a model of noble ladies in the capital.

Only she knows that the glamorous appearance is just a cover for the filth inside.

She claims to be from the future, with thoughts and insights beyond this era, and even clamors for a lifelong couple, freedom in marriage, and not to be confined by worldly views.

Now she wanted to see if, after peeling off the shell of her family background, she could still stand at that height.

"Send someone to follow those two. No matter if it's Meng Qiaoming or Meng Hewan, they won't let them go. Wait until they suffer a little, then rescue them and settle them down."

She knew the people in the Marquis' Mansion very well.

······

Even though the eldest son and his wife of the Marquisate vehemently denied the incident, the rumor still spread quickly.

The rumors that Meng Hewan was not a daughter of the Marquis's Mansion gradually became more and more outrageous.

Even in the palace there were some rumors.

In Yuehua Palace, a noble woman was carefully trimming two gorgeous peony branches placed in a flowing-leaf vase.

When the trimming is almost done, put down the scissors and look at your masterpiece with satisfaction.

A palace maid dressed in orange came in quickly, knelt in front of the woman, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince requests an audience."

"Well, let her in. Where's Yue'er?"

The woman had a beautiful face and a cold voice. She did not look away, but continued to look carefully at the blooming flowers.

"The Second Princess is resting in the side hall, and the Prince Consort has already returned to the Princess's residence."

The palace maid answered her master's questions in a serious manner.

"Well, go ahead."

The palace maid then stood up and took small steps outside the hall to report.

After a while, Pei Qing'an, dressed in sapphire blue clothes, walked quickly into the main hall. His expression was not very good. He walked up to the woman and saluted respectfully.

"Mother concubine."

The woman then turned around and looked at her handsome son with a loving face, feeling very satisfied.

"An'er, get up quickly. Qingyue, go and make a pot of rain for the Third Prince."

This woman is Pei Qing'an's mother, Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was not from an aristocratic family, but was a woman that His Majesty met when he went on a secret visit to Jiangnan.

Because of her beautiful appearance, she was favored by the emperor and brought to the capital to be made a concubine.

Concubine Rong is also capable. Even though she does not have a strong background, she has reached her current position by relying on the favor of His Majesty.

She gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor, and her position in the palace was stable.

However, he was unable to help his son reach a higher level, after all, there were children born to the Queen and the Imperial Concubine above him.

That's why she tried her best to arrange a marriage for her son with the Marquis of Dongqing.

I just hope that the Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion can help An'er.

Rong Fei looked at Pei Qing'an with a worried look on her face, and said with some dissatisfaction in her tone:

"I originally thought Meng Hewan could be of some help to you, but now it seems that's not entirely true. An'er, there are rumors out there that Meng Hewan is not the Marquis's biological daughter. Do you know about this?"

Pei Qing'an was also troubled by this matter.

"Mother, I haven't figured this out yet, but it's pretty close."

Thinking of the unusual actions of the Marquis' Mansion and the determination of the General's Mansion, I'm afraid there is indeed a problem here.

"Then... your marriage to the Marquis?"

Concubine Rong was a little angry for a moment. What was going on in this marquis's mansion?

How could he support a fake daughter for so many years? I used to think that even though the Marquis' Mansion was in decline, at least there was still the General's Mansion.

Moreover, Meng Hewan was well-mannered and seemed quite satisfied with the attacks.

But if she is really a fake daughter, then his son must never marry a woman of bad blood.

"It's hard for me to say now. After all, it's still a rumor. If I do anything now, I'm afraid I'll offend both the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion."

Thinking of his current situation, Pei Qing'an couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

After much difficulty in coaxing Meng Hewan into submission, unexpectedly the incident with Meng Qiaoming and the fake daughter came up again.

As for the Tongzhengshi, the situation is still unclear.

He is so fed up with the noise that he avoids that family every day.

"Then don't go to the Marquis' Mansion recently, or you'll be criticized. And as for the daughter of the Tongzhengshi family, according to my mother, it would be better to marry her into the Mansion when the time comes."

Concubine Rong really looked down on the Qin family of the Tongzhengshi. After all, they were of little help to her son, but she couldn't let them ruin their reputation.

At that time, the worst that can happen is that I will be given the position of a concubine.
