Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"What did you say?"

Cheng Wan frowned, and his arms around Gu Yu tightened unconsciously.

Chen Changtong carefully looked at Cheng Wan's face and said, "Young Master Gu Yu's fourth aunt is outside the gate. She said she wants to take Young Master Gu Yu away..."

As he spoke, Chen Changtong's voice became lower and lower, and his waist became more and more bent.

Although he had only been in the Cheng family for a short time, he understood very well that Cheng Wan and all the Cheng family members truly loved Gu Yu. Now that Gu Yu's relatives suddenly wanted to take Gu Yu away, he felt that things would not be particularly smooth.

Cheng Wan lowered her eyes and looked at the baby in her arms, pursed her lips tightly, pinched Gu Yu's armpits and made Gu Yu stand on her legs.

"Sui Sui, do you have any impression of your fourth aunt?"

Gu Yu tilted his head and asked in a baby voice, "Fourth aunt? Do I have a fourth aunt?"

Cheng Wan chuckled, rubbed Gu Yu's forehead, and then stepped back, his eyes soft: "Nothing, I have to go take care of something now, Sui Sui can go stay with my mother for a while, okay?"

Cheng Wan couldn't possibly let Gu Yu's fourth aunt take Gu Yu away because he couldn't figure out her personality and didn't know the family at all.

"Okay." Gu Yu kissed Cheng Wan on the face and chuckled.

Cheng Wan stood up while holding Gu Yu in his arms, and told Chen Changtong, "Take her to the main hall in the front yard and tell her that I will be there shortly."

After saying that, Cheng Wan carried Gu Yu to find Wang.

Chen Changtong didn't dare to ask Cheng Wan why he didn't take Gu Yu to the front yard to let Gu Yu meet his fourth aunt. He just replied "yes" and hurried to the front yard.

……

In the main hall of the front yard of Marquis Zhaoping's mansion, a plump and elegantly dressed noblewoman sat upright. On the coffee table beside her, the tea served by the mansion's servants remained untouched.

"Madam, we have been waiting for a while, but Marquis Zhaoping has not shown up yet. It is true that once he becomes rich and powerful, he becomes arrogant!"

Guan glanced at one of the two maids behind her, the one who had just spoken.

The maid felt a chill on her back and lowered her head to apologize: "My servant has spoken too much, please forgive me, Madam."

"There are some things that cannot be said in certain places. If someone hears it and makes an enemy of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, your life as a servant will not be enough to make amends."

Guan waved her fan slowly twice, with no sign of anger on her face.

However, the servant who had spoken too much just now was frightened. If it were not for the wrong occasion, I am afraid that this servant would have knelt down and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness.

Cheng Wan, who was only a dozen meters away from the main hall in the front yard, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Sui Sui, his fourth aunt, meant that what the maid said was right, but she shouldn’t have said it in Marquis Zhaoping’s mansion?

I'm so sorry, she had a cheat, so she already knew what the maid said through the cheat.

"I am late. The mansion the emperor gave me is too big, so it took me a long time to get here. I hope my lady can forgive me."

When Guan heard Cheng Wan's words, a dark look flashed across her eyes. She stood up, bowed to Cheng Wan, and smiled: "My Lord, you are too kind. It was my sudden visit that bothered you, but..."

Guan looked outside, then looked at Cheng Wan who was sitting in the main seat, and said modestly, "My Lord, why don't you see my nephew?"

"That's right, Madam, you know that the journey from Liangzhou to the capital is long and tiring. Sui Sui is too young, so he has been feeling a little unwell these past two days and is resting now."

Cheng Wan just talked nonsense, but her expression and tone were sincere.

"How could this be?! My Lord, can I go and see Suisui?" Guan frowned, her face full of worry.

Cheng Wan lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes flickered, and then she looked up and apologized to Guan: "Madam, Sui Sui has not slept well these past two days, and he finally fell asleep now. Madam is Sui Sui's fourth aunt, and I'm sure you don't have the heart to disturb him at this time."

Cheng Wan has said so much, unless Guan Shi doesn’t really love Gu Yu, she will have to give up the opportunity to meet Gu Yu today.

A gloomy look flashed across Guan's eyes, but she kept smiling:

“So, I really came at the wrong time.

My poor nephew will temporarily recuperate in the Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion. I hope the Marquis will take good care of him.

On behalf of the Rong'an Earl's Mansion, I would like to thank the Marquis. "

After saying that, Guan bowed towards Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wanxu helped Guan and said, "Sui Sui was entrusted to my family by his uncle. My family and I really like Sui Sui. Madam, don't worry. Sui Sui will get the best care in the Marquis Zhaoping Mansion."

Guan left with two maids.

Cheng Wan looked at the backs of the three people, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Chen Changtong."

"My Lord." Chen Changtong walked quickly into the main hall.

"Try to find out the situation of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion."

"Ok?"

Chen Changtong and Cheng Wan still lacked tacit understanding, and he was unable to immediately understand what Cheng Wan meant.

Cheng Wan did not show any impatience in this regard. She knew that Chen Changtong was still far from being a qualified steward of the Marquis' Mansion and needed to learn and train.

"The Rong'an Marquis' Mansion is Sui Sui's maternal grandfather's home. I want to know who the masters of the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion are now, who is the head of the household, how much dowry the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion gave Sui Sui's mother when she got married, and whether there are any major conflicts between the masters of the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion. It would be best if I could find out the general personalities of the masters of the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion. Do you understand?"

It has come to this point. If Cheng Wan still doesn't understand, he will consider finding someone else to train.

Chen Changtong nodded heavily: "I understand. I will find out the situation of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion as clearly and completely as possible!"

"Very good, go ahead, if you need money ask my mother for it."

Chen Changtong took the order and left.

Cheng Wan was swinging the pendant around his waist, seeming to be lost in thought.

Since she loved Sui Sui so much, why were there only her fourth aunt and two maids who came to pick her up?

If you don't love Sui Sui, why do you pretend to love and worry about her?

Could it be that none of the other masters in the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion could come? Or was it that the fourth aunt loved Suisui the most among all the Suisui in the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion?

Rong'an Marquis's Mansion is quite interesting...

Cheng Wan was thinking about the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion, and on the other side, after Guan returned to the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion, the masters of the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion were also discussing the Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion.

"My fourth brother's wife is really something, how could she be sent back by the Marquis of Zhaoping like this?

Marquis Zhaoping said Sui Sui fell asleep due to illness, and Fourth Brother’s wife actually believed it?

I didn't know that my fourth brother's wife was so easy to talk to and good-tempered."

Guan's elder sister-in-law, Qi, spoke in a very sarcastic tone, and there was no sign of respect or closeness to her sisters-in-law in her words.

Rong Anbo's eldest son was born to his first wife, and his fourth son was born to his second wife.

They are all legitimate sons. Normally, the title of Earl Rong'an should be passed on to the legitimate son born to the original wife, but the original wife has died and the second wife keeps whispering in his ear.

So now that Rong Anbo's eldest son has a legitimate son, Rong Anbo has not yet decided which son will inherit the title.
