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

"Tell me, why did the people in the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion want to take Sui Sui away after their situation went downhill?"

Chen Changtong frowned, his brain working rapidly, trying to figure out what Gu Yu had done that was worthy of Earl Rong An's calculation.

"Because... because this grandson has a younger uncle who has a bright future!"

Chen Changtong's eyes were surprisingly bright, and he looked at Cheng Wan, his eyes full of anticipation.

Cheng Wan nodded in praise, with a smile on his face: "I don't know if Lord Rong An has any other plans, but what you said should be the main reason."

"My Lord, since we know that the other party has ill intentions and is planning to slander you with rumors, should we quickly spread the corresponding explanation?"

"No need." Cheng Wan patted his sleeves nonchalantly, his voice cold: "The emperor's coronation ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. It's best for the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion not to do anything, otherwise it will cause chaos in the capital. I don't need to do anything, the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion will learn a lesson..."

After saying that, Cheng Wan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Marquis Rong'an shouldn't be that stupid. No matter what, he should wait until the emperor's coronation ceremony before taking any action."

Earl Rong An is indeed not that stupid, but he has a step-wife whose horizons are stuck in the inner chamber.

Wan was used to being obedient to Rong'an Bo. Rong'an Bo wanted to bring Gu Yu to Rong'an Bo's mansion before the emperor's coronation ceremony. Wan just thought that no matter what, she would help Rong'an Bo achieve this goal.

Wan came to the Marquis Zhaoping's mansion today, bringing many people with her, and was very high-profile along the way.

Before coming to Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion, Wan had prepared for this failure and used public opinion to create momentum and pressure Cheng Wan to "hand over" Gu Yu.

After failing to take the child away, Wan ordered people to spread rumors as soon as she left Marquis Zhaoping's mansion: Marquis Zhaoping relied on the emperor's grace to be overbearing and detained the grandson of Earl Rong'an, not allowing the people of Earl Rong'an's mansion to take the child back... Maybe the grandson of Earl Rong'an was injured or wronged by Marquis Zhaoping's family, so Marquis Zhaoping did not dare to let the people of Earl Rong'an's mansion take the child away...

Due to sufficient preparation, the relevant public opinion fermented particularly quickly.

By the time Rong Anbo realized something was wrong, public opinion had already spread across most of the capital.

Many people in the capital shifted their attention from the emperor's coronation ceremony to the dispute over the child between the Marquis of Zhaoping and the Earl of Rong'an.

"idiot!"

Rong Anbo slapped Wan in the face and his face turned blue.

Wan covered the numb half of her face, suppressed the anger in her eyes, and cried very pitifully: "I don't know what I did wrong? Why is the master so angry?"

"What did you do wrong?!" Rong Anbo slammed the table, his face grim: "Who told you to spread those rumors in the city on your own initiative? Huh?!"

Wan was startled. She said anxiously, "Marquis Zhaoping is unwilling to hand over the child. I want to use public opinion to force Marquis Zhaoping..."

"Do you remember what day is the day after tomorrow?"

Rong Anbo looked at Mrs. Wan with gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Wan was somewhat puzzled. "The day after tomorrow is the Emperor's coronation ceremony. Didn't the master say that just in case, we should bring the child to the mansion before the Emperor's coronation ceremony?"

"You!" Rong Anbo closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, only to feel weak.

Why didn't he realize that Wan was so stupid before?

"Master, there is a eunuch outside, saying that the emperor has summoned you to the palace."

Rong Anbo staggered, feeling a chill in his heart.

"Wan, whether the title of the Earl of Rong'an can be passed down to the next generation is already unknown..."

After saying that, Rong Anbo walked out, but his back showed a sense of desolation.

Wan Shimu stood there blankly for a while, then fell unconsciously onto the couch, his heart in his throat.

If the title of Lord Rong'an was gone, what would happen to her son? What was the point of her suppressing her stepson openly and secretly over the years?

Earl Rong'an was summoned to the palace by the emperor.

When Cheng Wan learned the news, she was discussing with Old Lady Lin, Cheng Daniu, and Wang about how many more servants they should buy for the mansion.

The mansion of Marquis Zhaoping is so big that the current servants are not enough.

As for buying people, after deciding on the number of people, Cheng Wan planned to hand it over to his two aunts and Chen Changtong.

The two aunts have been in the palace for many years and have their own ability to judge people. Chen Changtong followed them to learn and observe.

"Ah Wan, after all, Rong Anbo is Sui Sui's maternal grandfather. When the emperor summons him to the palace, will he reprimand you after learning about the relevant situation, and then issue an order to let Rong Anbo take Sui Sui away?"

Wang frowned and looked very anxious.

Old Lady Lin and Cheng Daniu also frowned and looked at Sui Sui who was leaning against Cheng Wan, their eyes filled with worry.

Cheng Wan was about to say something when Gu Yu suddenly said in a baby voice, "Uncle isn't back yet. Wan Wan and I are staying together. We won't leave!"

"Sui Sui, that's your biological grandfather, you are related by blood."

Old Mrs. Lin looked at Gu Yu’s cute, fair face and sniffed.

She truly loved Gu Yu. To put it another way, which might not be very appropriate, she loved Gu Yu as if he were her own child, and raised Gu Yu with even more care and attention than she would raise her own child.

Having invested so much love in her, whenever Mrs. Lin thought that Gu Yu might be taken away by someone else, she felt as if someone was pinching her heart hard, causing her pain.

"I don't know any grandfather, I just know you, and I want to stay here." Gu Yu hugged Cheng Wan's legs tightly, with a tense little face and a serious expression.

When Old Lady Lin, Mrs. Wang, and Cheng Daniu heard this, they were somewhat happy, but they did not laugh.

My heart is still tense and I can't smile.

Cheng Wan's eyebrows curved slightly, and his voice was gentle: "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to anyone except your uncle."

Gu Yu smiled happily, revealing his neat and white teeth.

Cheng Wan gently rubbed Gu Yu's little head twice, with a fierce look in his eyes.

She is just overbearing and tyrannical, and she is just malicious and speculating on people's hearts.

She really couldn't trust the baby to be taken care of by others...

"Master Hou!"

Chen Changtong walked in hurriedly. He bowed to Cheng Wan and the others first, then said excitedly, "The title of Lord Rong'an is gone!"

Cheng Wan stood up at once: "Are you sure?!"

Old Lady Lin and the other two all stared at Chen Changtong, and it was obvious that they were also shocked.

"I am sure! Lord, the plaque with the words 'Rong'an Marquis's Mansion' on the gate of the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion has been taken down!"

Old Mrs. Lin walked back and forth, muttering unconsciously.

"Why, why is this?!

That's a title!

How can it just disappear like that?!"

Suddenly, Old Lady Lin looked at Gu Yu and said anxiously, "This Lord Rong'an, no, that man's title is gone, he won't take his anger out on us, will he?!"

Cheng Wan picked up Gu Yu and said in a calm voice, "They lost their titles by their own doing. What does it have to do with Sui Sui?"
