Looking at the woman in front of him, Fang Shiwan guessed that this should be the grandmother in the original owner's memory - Guan.

There was a young man behind my grandmother. Judging from the court robes he was wearing, he must be my uncle Zhou Changmu. There were also two dignified and beautiful women standing next to him. I guess they were her two aunts.

Zhou hadn't seen her mother for ten years. Now that she saw that she was much older than she remembered, she felt very sad.

Then she pulled Fang Shiwan to kneel on the ground and said, "My daughter hasn't been back for so long, and you and your parents have been worried. Today, I brought Shiwan here to apologize to you, your parents. I am an unfilial daughter."

Zhou kowtowed to the two old people, her tone full of sadness, sobs and grievance. Fang Shiwan held Zhou's hand tightly, as if to comfort her.

After a cup of tea.

The front hall of the general's mansion.

After the servants served tea, General Zhou called everyone out. Now the entire front hall was filled with his people.

"Hui'er, Wan'er, my daughter, my granddaughter." The old lady couldn't stop crying since she entered the room. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her tears.

Zhou couldn't stop crying when she was held in Guan's arms. The grown men nearby were so tearful watching her, and her two sisters-in-law also cried out loud.

After a long while, everyone waited until Mrs. Zhou and the old lady calmed down before they dared to speak.

"Okay, mother-in-law, our daughter is back now. We want to hear what she has to say. The letter says that she is living well every day. Is it not bad to be so thin?"

"Didn't Xianxu say Shi Wan was dead the day before yesterday? We were just planning to go over to see her for the last time today, but suddenly he said his daughter and granddaughter were coming back together. What's going on?"

A series of questions made their hearts rise to their throats, and now they really wanted to know.

After listening to her grandfather's words, Fang Shiwan knew that these people must have been deceived. How could they believe that their daughter would be fine even if she didn't come back for ten years?

"Dad, Mom, I have been sick before and didn't write to you." Zhou sniffed and said it.

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Changmu stood up immediately. He looked incredulous: "Sister, are you telling the truth?"

"Qing'er, does that mean you have never written a letter back to the General's Mansion?"

Zhou nodded, "Brother, Mom and Dad, I felt unwell not long after I got married. The doctor said that it was because I gave birth to Wan'er that my body was weak. At that time, I was so focused on Wan'er that I didn't have the energy to write a letter."

"Later, I asked if you could come and see me. The Second Madam said that the General's Mansion was very busy and my father had gone to the border. My parents had sent someone to write a letter to me. After reading the content of the letter, I believed it."

"After that, I received a letter every month. In addition, I was not feeling well, so I gave up the idea of ​​returning to the General's Mansion."

General Zhou was so angry that he slammed the table with his hand, and the teacup on the table instantly broke into pieces. "This is ridiculous. It means we have all been deceived!"

Zhou had just said this and they were so angry. If she continued to say that her daughter crawled out of the coffin, wouldn’t that mean the Shangshu Mansion would be overturned?

"Dad..." Zhou paused.

"Hui Er, tell me everything else. I want to see what Fang Zhengxiang is up to!"

"Dad, there is something strange about Wan'er's death. She crawled out of the coffin yesterday. If she hadn't woken up suddenly before she was completely dead, and if she hadn't come to Biluoyuan to see her daughter, I think she would never have seen you in this life."

Bang!

When the old lady heard this, the tea in her hand broke into pieces and fell to the ground. Her face was filled with nothing but fear.

"God damn it! The Shangshu Mansion is murdering my daughter and granddaughter. My daughter from the general's mansion was married off, but now this man dares to do these dirty things in the backyard."

"Come on, follow me to the Shangshu Mansion. I will take care of this matter for you. I will make the Shangshu Mansion a mess and make him a laughing stock in the entire imperial city. It's better not to have this marriage! Your mother and your father will support you!"

The old lady stood up excitedly and kept on cursing Minister Fang.

General Zhou at the side sighed and shook his head, "Mother-in-law, don't get excited. Your daughter hasn't even finished talking yet, why are you so impulsive?"

"Old man, your daughter has been harmed like this, and you still say this? Look at how thin my daughter and granddaughter have become."

"Dad, Mom is right. We should go to the Shangshu Mansion to make the decision for Mom. Let's go and get a divorce now. I, your eldest brother, will support you!"

Zhou Changmu had been an official for many years. Seeing that Shangshufu was always being humble in front of him, he actually thought that he was being nice to his sister. He recalled that he often sent people to give gifts and money to Shangshufu, and it turned out that all the money went into Shangshufu's own pocket!

Knowing that they are all sincerely caring for her, Zhou was deeply moved. With such family members, she would have no regrets in life or death. Her parents have always protected her, but now she doesn't want the General's Mansion to be implicated by her affairs, so let her handle this matter herself.

"Dad, Mom, I know you are doing this for my and Wan'er's good, so I want to handle this matter myself, okay?"

Zhou asked in a tentative tone, but her tone was also full of affirmation.

Fang Shiwan was also deeply moved by the family of her grandparents whom she met for the first time. This family was very protective of her and truly loved her and her mother.

How could such a good general's mansion be implicated by her scumbag father?

"Yes, Grandfather, don't worry. When we came out, no one dared to say a word. Don't worry."

Zhou's mouth twitched when she heard Fang Shiwan's light-hearted words. They were all sick and frightened, and had no intention of caring about them leaving the house.

"Really?" General Zhou was a little skeptical and pinched her small body again, as if to say, with a body like yours, they don't dare to say it?

"Yes, my grandmother is sick, Aunt Lin is taking care of her, and my father is angry. As for Fang Zhirou, I don't know, but I guess she is catching up on sleep. As for the other concubines, they hid as if they saw a ghost when they saw me."

Fang Shiwan shrugged helplessly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Wan'er, don't be afraid. If anyone in that mansion bullies you, your uncle will support you." Thinking that his niece was frightened, Zhou Changmu showed worry in his eyes and did not forget to touch her head with his hand.

"Thank you, uncle." Fang Shiwan thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at those innocent and lively eyes, Zhou Changmu thought to himself that he would impeach Shangshu Fang in the court someday.

The old lady at the side saw that her daughter and granddaughter's clothes were in such a state, so she stood up and called a few servants, her voice choked with sobs: "Go, take out all the best fabrics in the mansion, and ask the people from Xiuyun Textile to come over."

"Yes, old lady."
