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

When these words were spoken, both Gu Yunxi and He Feng were shocked.

He Feng's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Could it be... Could it be that Madam Xu knows the identity of your grandmother?"

Gu Yunxi nodded slowly and said, "I feel this is very likely."

Otherwise, why would Madam Xu, a lady of the first rank, be so warm and caring to the wives of seventh rank officials?

No matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense. The only possibility is that Madam Xu knows my grandmother's identity.

My grandmother is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, so her status is naturally different, and the Xu family and the Lu family are relatives.

However, I vaguely knew some things that happened back then. My grandmother married my grandfather despite her parents' opposition. Now, my grandmother's parents have passed away, and the only person of my grandmother's generation left in the Xu family is Old Master Xu.

Of course, Gu Yunxi was thinking of the eldest branch of the Xu family, and the brothers and sisters who were born to the same mother as Mrs. He.

As for the second and third branches of the Xu family, Gu Yunxi didn't even consider them.

He Feng was full of sorrow and returned to the mansion with Gu Yunxi. They went straight to Mrs. He's room.

"Mom, something happened!" He Feng yelled.

Mrs. He was chatting with Mother Wang when she saw her daughter rushing in in a panic and was startled.

"Feng'er, what's going on? Just tell me first, don't be anxious."

He Feng took a deep breath and said, "Mom, Yun Xi and I are going to the Xu family for a banquet today. Guess what?"

"What's the matter?" Mrs. He looked puzzled. She looked at He Feng and then at Gu Yunxi.

He Feng said: "Mom, we went to the Xu family today, and the eldest lady of the Xu family was very enthusiastic towards us!"

"You met Madam Xu in the embroidery shop before. She was quite polite to us then, but not as... overly nice as she was today."

"Oh?" Mrs. He narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's the best way?"

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi took the initiative to say, "Grandma, at the banquet today, the second wife of the Xu family deliberately made things difficult for me."

"The third wife of the Xu family watched coldly. I refuted it. When the first wife of Xu came back and saw it, she had the second wife of Xu taken away."

"Also, Madam Xu actually introduced my mother and me to other ladies in public, and helped promote our embroidery shop."

"Oh, she also asked you why you didn't go, and said that next time she comes to our house, she will ask you about Buddhism."

After a pause, Gu Yunxi took a sip of tea and continued, "My mother and I both think that it makes sense to say that Madam Xu sent invitations to the women in our mansion because of Master's wife."

"But, from her various actions today, I always feel that she is taking good care of us, even helping us, and she also seems to want to associate with our family."

"So... I dare to guess that Madam Xu knows your identity, Grandmother!"

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Mrs. He nervously.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. He lowered her eyelids, not knowing what she was thinking.

He Feng swallowed and stammered, "Mother, look at this, how are we going to get along with Madam Xu in the future?"

After saying that, He Feng didn't dare to say anything more.

For a moment, the room became quiet.

Until Master He came in, noticed something was wrong, frowned slightly, and asked, "Feng'er, what's wrong?"

As soon as He Feng saw her father, she felt less nervous and told him what happened again.

"Okay, I get it. Let me and your mother think about this matter. You guys go back first."

After hearing what Mr. He said, He Feng didn't say anything more. He looked at Gu Yunxi and left the house.

"Mom, let grandma think about it first. No matter what decision she makes, we, as the younger generation, just need to respect her decision." Gu Yunxi said.

He Feng sighed and nodded.

To be honest, she felt that Madam Xu was a pretty nice person and she felt very comfortable getting along with her.

However, this is only with Madam Xu. It is still unknown what attitude the other members of the Xu family have towards my mother.

Just looking at the character of the second and third wives of the Xu family, He Feng couldn't like them anymore.

After the two left, Mrs. He went to her room.

Mr. He dismissed the servants in the room and sat with Mrs. He for a long time.

"Mother Feng'er, I think that elder brother's attitude means that he wants to recognize you, right?" said Master He.

Otherwise, Madam Xu wouldn't have been so polite and warm to Feng'er and Yunxi.

Mr. He can think of these, and naturally Mrs. He can think of them as well.

However, every time she thought of what happened back then, she felt uncomfortable.

When her parents died of illness, she wanted to go back home to see them for the last time with a big belly, but no one came to open the door for her, so she had to kneel at the gate for a whole day and night.

In the end...she wasn't able to see her parents until they closed their eyes, nor was she able to attend the funeral to see them off.

She hated, but didn't know who to hate; she blamed, but didn't know who to blame.

She had no choice but to suppress these things deep in her heart, never wanting to mention them again, and stay away from this sad place, the capital.

However, who would have thought that many years later, she would come back with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson.

The people of the Xu family actually took the initiative to show their courtesy to their daughter and grandson's wife!

Mrs. He really didn't know how she should face it.

Before, my daughter told my granddaughter-in-law that the Xu family invited them to a banquet. She thought that the Xu family invited them for Mrs. Yuan’s sake.

At that time, it was because of this thought that she allowed her daughter and granddaughter-in-law to attend the banquet.

Who could have thought that Madam Xu was so powerful that she could find out her true identity after just meeting her once?

"Feng'er's father, I really don't know how to make a decision. You know, there was no right or wrong in what happened back then, but in my heart, I will never get over those things."

Mrs. He rubbed her temples and felt a headache.

There was silence in the room again.

After a long while, Master He spoke again: "I think we should just let nature take its course."

"Since the Xu family has taken the initiative to show their goodwill to us and has not said it explicitly, let's just pretend we don't know."

"If Madam Xu comes to visit, just treat her as an ordinary junior and be polite to her."

Mr. He loves his wife and doesn't want her to force herself, but he also has to consider his daughter and son-in-law, grandson and grandson's wife.

Mrs. He nodded and said, "Well, let's do it this way for now. We'll take it one step at a time."

After the two of them had discussed it, they called He Feng and Gu Yunxi over again and told them about the matter.

Such a result was not unexpected to Gu Yunxi.

After all, my grandmother has been unwilling to return to Beijing for so many years and has been staying in the capital. It is harder than climbing to the sky to get her to change.

Take your time, maybe later, your thoughts will change...
