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

Gu Fanchu walked lightly around the garden for a while, and finally heard the voices of a man and a woman talking outside a cave:

"Your Highness, just because of Wan'er's identity, do you dislike me?"

Gu Fanchu naturally recognized this voice. It was the same pretentious voice as Meng Hewan's.

"Wan'er, I didn't...it's just...my mother heard some rumors, so she's been giving me a lot of warnings recently. But don't worry, I'm sincere to you!"

Pei Qing'an's pretended gentle voice came immediately.

"Your Highness, everyone is pointing fingers at me now, but I don't care. I will try my best to show them that even without that status, I can do better!"

Meng Hewan said firmly.

"Your Highness, if you don't believe Wan'er, then Wan'er has nothing to say. Just think that we are not destined to be together and are not worthy of you."

Meng Hewan retreated to advance. If Pei Qing'an was really such an unfeeling man, then she would go find other princes.

She believed that with her beauty and wisdom, she would make others come to her.

"Wan'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Pei Qing'an's eyes turned, and he realized that Meng Hewan seemed to have some hidden card.

"I can't live without you in this life. How could I forget the vows we made to each other? Silly girl, just wait for me. I will convince my mother to marry you in a grand ceremony."

The two of them became affectionate again, and Gu Fanchu could hear the sound of fabric rubbing against each other.

She was too lazy to listen any further, so she turned around and left quietly.

When he was about to reach the end of the rockery, he turned around and saw the man in brocade clothes with a face as white as jade.

“I didn’t expect that Miss Gu still has the habit of eavesdropping on others.”

Shi Jinyan's voice was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what emotion he was expressing.

Gu Fanchu bowed slightly, his expression unchanged: "Master Shi, you are joking. I was just taking a casual walk."

Shi Jinyan didn't say anything else, but just stared at Gu Fanchu with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to see a hole in her.

After a long while, the man continued slowly: "Thank you Miss Gu for the medicine."

Gu Fanchu's scalp tingled from being stared at. Only when the man's gaze shifted away did she feel relieved.

"You're welcome, Master Shi. After all, it seems that I owe you a favor."

It’s just the love from the previous life.

Shi Jinyan didn't say anything else. Seeing this, Gu Fanchu prepared to take Liuli away.

After taking two steps, he couldn't help but turn around and remind her, "Master Shi, please be careful these days. I heard that things are not going to be peaceful lately."

Shi Jinyan's eyes, which had been leisurely just now, suddenly became cold, and his figure flashed, blocking Gu Fanchu.

Liuli behind him was a little embarrassed...but still rushed forward, but was blocked by Gu Fanchu behind him.

"Miss Gu does know a lot, but the capital is not like the mountains. Some things are not suitable for a girl to know."

Shi Jinyan always felt that the young lady of the Gu family was a little mysterious and seemed to know a lot of things, but the people he sent to keep an eye on her said that they did not take any action.

Why is this?

Gu Fanchu met the man's gaze without fear, his expression normal:

"Master Shi, you're joking. I'm just a girl, how could I know something that's inappropriate for me to know? But seeing that Master Shi is a good person, I just want to give you a few reminders."

Shi Jinyan wanted to see some other emotions on her face, but there was no impurity in the little girl's bright eyes.

"If you are alright, sir, I will leave first."

Gu Fanchu nodded slightly again, walked around Shi Jinyan's tall body, walked out of the rockery, and headed towards the main hall.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this little girl really cares about you! And you don't even appreciate it."

A teasing voice sounded, and when I looked up, I saw Ji Yunchen leaning against the rockery.

Shi Jinyan didn't respond and turned to leave. Seeing this, Ji Yunchen hurried to follow him.

"Hey, don't go! Guess what just happened over there? Hey, don't go."

Ji Yunchen found it very interesting, but Shi Jinyan had a blank expression on his face and didn't say a word.

Back in the hall, the banquet was still going on. Concubine Xi had already come out and was chatting with the ladies with a gentle smile on her face.

The Queen has already left.

Seeing Gu Fanchu return to her seat, she immediately waved to her happily and said, "Chu'er, come to your aunt."

The ladies who were chatting immediately turned around and looked at her with burning eyes.

Gu Fanchu didn't know the reason, but still walked forward obediently: "Aunt."

Concubine Xi grabbed Gu Fanchu and introduced him to the curious people around:

"This is the little miracle doctor I told you about. She's a member of our Gu family. She suffered a lot before, but now she's back at the General's Mansion. It was she who took care of my body this time, which allowed me to conceive successfully."

Gu Fanchu understood that her aunt was trying to build her reputation: "Aunt is exaggerating. Chu'er just happens to know some medical skills to treat the female body."

Since that's the case, she might as well admit it. It will always be good for her in the future.

When these ladies heard that Gu Fanchu knew medical skills at such a young age, they all felt a little skeptical.

But it is also true that Concubine Xi has been unable to get pregnant after seeing so many imperial doctors for so many years, and now she is pregnant.

A lady who looked like she was wearing a thick layer of rouge and powder hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Miss Gu, can you really cure infertility?"

The person asking the questions was Madam Zhang, the wife of the Censor.

Although this kind of thing should be kept secret and asked privately to avoid being known by others.

But who in the capital doesn't know about Zhang's situation?

The Lord Censor was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations. He caught the eye of His Majesty with his own talents and was promoted to the position of Censor step by step.

After rising to higher positions, Mr. Zhang was not blinded by wealth and fame, but instead became even more diligent.

This also caught the attention of many aristocratic families in Beijing.

In the end, Mr. Zhang refused the marriage proposal from the aristocratic family and chose to marry his childhood sweetheart, Liu.

After getting married, the two were very much in love, but unfortunately Mrs. Zhang was unable to get pregnant.

Because of this, some people with ulterior motives tried to persuade Mr. Zhang to divorce his wife and remarry. Of course, they were directly rejected.

After failing to divorce his wife, others persuaded him to take a concubine, but unfortunately, Mr. Zhang still refused.

Some people laughed at him and said that Mr. Zhang was a simple-minded man who would rather die out in his own family than not stay with Liu.

But which lady doesn’t envy such a husband in private!

So, when they saw Zhang asking directly, everyone understood what was going on, and several of them even looked at Gu Fanchu eagerly.

Gu Fanchu knew Madam Zhang. Madam Zhang was an upright man, but he had offended many people and did not have a good ending in his previous life.

Looking back, it is true that Lord Zhang did not leave behind any children, and he was a pitiful man.

Gu Fanchu didn't dare to be arrogant and weighed his tone: "I can't say it's completely curable. You have to see it first. Some can be cured, but some can't be cured."
