After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

After the banquet, the upper class in Qingyuan County reached a consensus: the new wife of the Gu family was a very good person, not petty as they had thought, and she was genuinely on good terms with the county magistrate's wife!

Although the banquet successfully helped the girls' school gain fame and sparked a surge in enrollment, Lin Hao was not particularly happy.

The reason is simple: can anyone tell her why these ladies are so keen on hosting banquets? There are tea tastings, flower viewings, and even games like pitch-pot and polo. Actually, many of these banquets are quite interesting, but even a good person can't resist going out every few days!

Lin Hao felt that it had been a long time since she had a proper lunch with Xiao Baozi.

Therefore, upon receiving another invitation, Lin Hao decisively chose to flee.

"Mother, is it fun at the manor?" Inside the carriage, little Gu Yu blinked his eyes, staring curiously at Lin Haokan.

He still feels like he's dreaming, because his mother actually asked the teacher for leave and really brought him to the estate! He thought his mother was just joking yesterday.

"I don't know either. How about we treat this trip as an adventure?" Lin Hao was eager to try, and her expression was not much more composed than that of the genuine child next to her. It had been a long time since she had come out to relax!

Adventure—what an irresistible word! At least little Gu Yu, who felt he was gradually becoming more like an adult, couldn't help but be tempted.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Let's go on an adventure together!"

Watching the mother and son's excited smiles, Little Tiger suddenly felt that Madam seemed to have become not much older than Yu-ge'er! He shook his head vigorously, thinking that it must be because he had been too tired from accompanying Yu-ge'er in his studies lately, which was why his brain was not working properly and he had such an absurd idea!

Soon, the carriage stopped, and everyone knew they had arrived at their destination.

The heavy carriage curtain was lifted, bringing in a chill, and Lin Hao got off the carriage with the two children.

A group of people were already waiting at the door to greet them, and they quickly bowed when they saw their masters arrive.

"No need for formalities, everyone go about your business! We're just staying for a few days." Lin Hao waved her hand casually; they didn't need so many people to serve them.

"The lady has spoken, everyone go back!" Seeing that Lin Hao was unwilling to reprimand him, the head of the manor tactfully dismissed everyone.

He stepped forward and said, "This humble one is Yang Kang, greetings to Madam."

Upon hearing the other person's name, Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh. She subconsciously asked, "Do you know someone named Guo Jing?"

Yang Kang didn't understand why his wife suddenly laughed, nor did he understand why she asked him this question. He was even more shocked that she knew his wife's name, but he simply lowered his head and said, "It is indeed my wife's name."

Lin Hao took a moment to react before realizing that the other person was referring to his wife's name. At this point, she completely lost her temper: "Hahahaha... You said, you said your wife's name is Guo Jing?"

Yang Kang was puzzled, but he answered honestly, "That's right, my wife's surname is Guo, and her given name is Jing."

Lin Hao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Which 'Jing' character is it?"

"Yes, Madam, it's the 'Jing' of 'tranquility'." Yang Kang lowered his head even further to avoid revealing his expression, but in his heart he was thinking, could it be that his wife and Madam had some kind of relationship? But that shouldn't be the case.
