Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Master He let out a long sigh.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Your mother's family is considered a high-ranking family in the capital."

"Feng'er, your mother has never been back home in all these years, and she never said anything, but I know that she has always been thinking about her mother's home."

"It's all my fault. If your mother hadn't followed me, she wouldn't have been unable to return to her parents' home..."

Hearing what Master He said, Gu Yunxi thought to himself, it seems that my grandmother is indeed the daughter of a wealthy family in Beijing.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have married Master He and even stopped communicating with her family.

In this dynasty, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, especially those who did business, were all smelly of money and were considered the lowest class in the eyes of the world.

The wealthy families in the capital would rather marry their daughters to farmers than to businessmen.

"Dad, whose family is mom from? Why is my grandparents so..." He Feng hesitated.

So many years have passed, her mother has married and had a daughter, and her daughter has grown up so much. Now even her grandson has entered the court as an official, but her mother's family still doesn't want to interact with her?

He Feng couldn't understand it and felt that her mother's family was too cruel.

Master He shook his head: "Alas, when your mother gave birth to you and Xue'er, I was doing business in the capital, and I heard the news that your grandfather was seriously ill."

"I hurried back and took your mother back to the capital, but we stood in front of the Xu mansion for a whole day and night, and no one came to open the door."

"Your mother had just given birth at that time. She was already weak and couldn't stand it. She fainted."

"Then I brought your mother directly back to the capital city. From then on, your mother never returned to the capital city again."

He Feng let out a cry and sighed continuously.

Gu Yunxi was also filled with emotion. He had never expected that his grandmother and grandfather had not been able to obtain the consent of her family. The two of them fell in love and turned against their families to such an extent.

Alas! But my grandmother and grandfather truly loved each other, and it seemed that my grandfather had been devoted to my grandmother over the years.

"Grandfather, you just said that my grandmother's maiden name was Xu?" Lu Jianchuan suddenly asked.

Master He nodded slowly: "Yes, your grandmother's surname was Xu."

Lu Jianchuan frowned slightly, his mind racing. It seemed that there weren't many officials with the surname Xu in the court?

The most famous among them is the current Minister of Revenue, Xu Shangshu.

There's no way my grandmother could be related to Minister Xu, right?

Lu Jianchuan immediately ruled out this possibility, feeling it was impossible!

Gu Yunxi also thought of the Xu family. In her social circle, the only person with the surname Xu seemed to be her master’s wife’s good friend, Madam Xu?

Madam Xu, the wife of Minister Xu, is no ordinary person; she is a noble lady with an imperial decree!

Grandmother, you can’t be a relative of Minister Xu, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxi's eyes rolled rapidly, but she dared not say anything.

After all, this matter seemed very embarrassing, and my grandmother was unwilling to say more, unless she was willing to follow her family to the capital in the future. Perhaps, she would have the opportunity to meet her family.

Otherwise, even if they knew which family the relatives from my grandmother's mother's side were, they would not step forward and take the initiative to establish a relationship with them.

"Dad, why don't you come with me to the capital when you get better?" He Feng said.

Now that this has happened, she no longer dares to leave her parents alone in the city. Otherwise, if something unexpected really happens, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

"If mom doesn't want to have any contact with her family, then don't do that. Let's just live our own lives."

Mr. He's business is spread throughout the city. Now that he is asked to settle in the capital city permanently, he hesitates.

This means that you either have to give up most of the business or keep a small part of it and hand it over to a trustworthy manager.

"Hey, Dad, think about it first, and discuss it with your mother."

Mrs. He was reluctant to go to the capital before, after all, there were too many bad memories there.

But something like this happened. These two old people have lived for most of their lives, and they don’t know how long they can live for the rest of their lives.

Now Feng'er is the only daughter I have left, and I found her with great difficulty. If I can't see her for a long time, I don't know how many times I will be able to see her in the future.

In Mr. He's heart, of course, he hopes to live a good life with his daughter and her family.

But Mrs. He...I don't know if she is willing?

"Dad, then you should go to sleep for a while. There is no rush. Yun Xi and I will take care of the affairs in the mansion. I will come to find the old housekeeper and Mother Wang."

Now all the servants in the mansion are under control, awaiting their fate.

The loyal servants before were dealt with by He Xue and He Xinning, but Mother Ji was still by He Xinning's side.

Master He nodded and walked towards the wing room. He Feng and Gu Yunxi looked at each other before walking out of the yard.

Mother Ji and all the servants were kneeling in the yard, trembling.

Facing He Feng, the servants trembled like sieves and were filled with fear.

Before He Feng could say anything, Mother Ji told her everything.

"Second Miss, I know where Madam Wang and the old housekeeper were sold to. They were sold to the most famous woman in the city, Aunt Zhou!"

"I secretly gave money to Mrs. Zhou and asked them not to sell Madam Ji and the old housekeeper. I don't know if they are still there. Can you send someone to check?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi hurriedly went with Lu Jianchuan to find Mrs. Zhou with the silver.

With Shuang Qiu by his side and Old Man Lu helping him, He Feng was able to smoothly deal with the servants in the mansion.

Except for a few of the newly bought maids and servants, all the others were sold off.

Mother Ji was also left behind. It was still unknown whether what she said was true or false. We had to wait for Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan to come back to find out.

Half an hour later, He Feng counted the gold, silver, and jewelry in the mansion, as well as the servants' slave documents, and re-registered the items one by one. He put the register aside, waiting for Master He and Madam He to wake up before handing it to them.

"Dad, Mom, we're back." Gu Yunxi shouted loudly.

Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan came back. He Feng looked over with a smile, and saw behind Gu Yunxi, Mother Wang and the old housekeeper with tears in their eyes.

"Second Miss, you are finally back! How are the Madam and the Master?" asked Mother Wang.

At that time, Miss Xinning knocked the mistress and the master unconscious. It happened so suddenly that when she reacted, He Xinning had someone tie her up.

It was really thanks to Ji's mother that when He Xinning wanted to sell her, she secretly gave some silver to the boy, so that she was not sold.

Otherwise, even if the masters wanted to find her now, they might not be able to do so.
