The National Duke's Mansion was a fairly large courtyard house in the affluent west of the city.

After the change of dynasty, he was afraid that he would become more and more lonely as he continued to do these small businesses in the Shengan. However, in this small house lived the wives and wives of his three sons, the only daughter of his second son, one who had married into the Prime Minister's Mansion and was now a disciple of the buddhist faith, and the other who had married into a marriage alliance with a princess, and had never returned.

Bai Song walked into the house with Gu Mingyan, and a few older women smiled as they dealt with Bai Song.

"Are they also National Duke's Mansion's relatives?"

"He's just a servant of the estate. He's lived here for twenty or thirty years. He can be considered a close relative."

Bai Song gave a shallow smile, as if he suddenly had the appearance of her mother, Bai Feng Ran.

Gu Mingyan was slightly dazed, but he still followed her into the hall. The hall was filled with laughter, and only after being introduced one by one did Gu Mingyan realize that the patriarch's three sons only had one real wife, and that the eldest's wife had already passed away from her long illness, leaving behind only Bai Song and her other two sons.

And the few cousins all treated others warmly, which was completely different from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu Mingyan was coiled up so much by Third Uncle's daughter that he felt embarrassed. Finally, he was pulled apart by Bai Song as he helplessly looked at his little cousin: "Don't disturb your cousin anymore, go and play with someone else."

The little girl made a face and ran off to play with her brothers and sisters.

Gu Mingyan had never experienced such passion before and was stunned in place.

In her impression of her home, it was just like Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if her family didn't have any schemes and tricks up their sleeves, at that time, for a few big clients, they had ridiculed her and secretly won over her.

Bai Song brought her to the end of the corridor and stuffed a shrew into her arms.

"National Duke's Mansion is not as flourishing as Prime Minister's Mansion, but the few younger sisters were all very curious, wanting to know just whether the natural phenomenon that you were born with was real or fake."

"Of course I wouldn't know that day I was born."

Gu Mingyan actually embarrassedly rubbed the tip of his nose, with half of his face flushed red: "I wonder what business do you have for you specially bringing me here today?"

It was only after a long time did he let out a heavy sigh, "On that day, when we went to Prime Minister's Mansion, I had already expressed the feelings of Grandfather and Father. However, when you just returned to Shengan, you directly entered that ice-cold Prime Minister's Mansion, and walked around amidst the gossip of this Shengan.

Was there such a simple reason?

If she was the original owner, she might have believed him without any hesitation.

However, after seeing the many undercurrents of Shengan, making her easily believe in National Duke's Mansion was actually an extremely difficult task.

They silently watched the snow fly in front of them until everyone took their seats at lunchtime. The few little fellows quarrelled loudly, the two big madams exchanged greetings with Gu Mingyan and even gave her two big red packets. As for the three brothers, they chatted about some interesting things at the side while Bai Song and his other brothers and sisters sat at the side and ate their snacks.

Gu Mingyan then walked to the low stool beside the main seat and sat down.

The Duke of Zhenguo's name was Bai Feiyu, and he was also her grandfather. He was a kind person, and if his legs were injured, he shouldn't stand for long.

Even though she was in her fifties, her eyes were clear and bright, allowing her to lean against her legs. She raised her hand to rub her head, and with a smile on her face, she said, "Converting to a buddhist sect is good, being far away from the mortal world is the eternal friend of an ancient buddha."

At the end of his sentence, he let out an extremely faint sigh.

Gu Mingyan laid on his grandfather's knees. When Gu Mingyan raised his head, he could still see his grandfather's snow-white hair.

It was snowing outside the window, but the interior of the house was peaceful.

Aunt Zhou had said that the National Duke's Mansion was to win over the Seventh Prince's Highness, but now Gu Mingyan felt that it was different.

If not for the National Duke's Mansion that hung high above the roof, how could anyone tell that this was the National Duke's Mansion? They would just treat it as a rich person.

Coming back to his senses, Gu Mingyan suddenly asked.

"If grandfather misses mother, why didn't you bring her back?"

When these words came out, even Bai Song's father and his own uncle all looked over, their expressions changing greatly.

Bai Feiyu's clear eyes also dimmed a little, as he rubbed her head, "If I had noticed Gu Zhiyuan's ambition back then, I would not have been like this today."

"Father, the child is still young. How can I call her father's name in front of the child?"

Bai Song's father hurriedly stood up and vigilantly glanced at Gu Mingyan.

But without warning, Mojo was afraid that the children would go back and snitch on them for saying bad things about their father.

However, Gu Mingyan was not a little kid, yesterday Aunt Zhou said some simple things, but she still left behind a few manuscripts from the past.

If he had carefully calculated it, if it wasn't because his National Duke's Mansion was in the wrong line, Gu Zhiyuan would not have married the Madam Liu in order to win over the new emperor, or even suppress his wife and parents, in exchange for the trust of the Queen's Madam Liu bloodline. Back then, the Duke Zhen was not willing to fight for the position of power, but had instead implicated Bai Feng Ran.

Plus, when she was born, she was born with a special phenomenon. However, she was born a few months ago, so there were a lot of accidents in the courtyard. Thus, she threw the mother and daughter pair into the Sunset Mountains.

Now that he mentioned it, it seemed like the news about His Highness and Aunt Zhou was not accurate. It sounded like there was something else going on.

"Grandfather is considered to be one of the previous generation of my father, so it's not inappropriate to call him by name. Not to mention that my mother and I were roaming around together, Madam Liu bullying my mother and me from top to bottom. Father turned a blind eye to it and pretended to help the evil. "

Gu Mingyan pursed his lips, looked straight at the cautious uncle, and said: "Grandfather and uncle have saved mother several times, that's why there's Ming Yan today, how can Ming Yan have the logic to lean his elbow out?"

After speaking a few simple words, Gu Mingyan also got up a little from Bai Feiyu's knees and straightened his back.

"Mother has converted to the Buddhist Sect, not to leave the mortal world, but to get used to seeing people's cold and warm hearts." Mother is not to get rid of the mortal world, but to get used to hearing people's cold and warm hearts. The clamor around him also gradually quieted down, and only continued: "I have come here today because of Your Highness, but in addition, I hope that Grandfather and Uncle can believe in me. Perhaps there is still a way to save the situation."

Not only was he a good person within the National Duke's Mansion, he was also so kind to his mother.

She didn't want to use it, so it was better for her to speak bluntly.

After hearing the four words that his highness had asked, Bai Song had already called his siblings to temporarily leave. The two wives brought the children out to play in the snow, leaving the three uncles and Bai Song alone in the room.

Bai Feiyu also revealed a shocked expression. He didn't expect that his granddaughter, who had grown up in the countryside, would say such words.

Gu Mingyan, however, ingratiatingly rubbed Bai Feiyu's knees, and while lying on the bed, smiled: "Since Grandfather likes mother, then Ming Yan naturally likes Grandfather as well, so he isn't willing to hide this from me today."
