According to the more "formal" process, after Gao Ran submitted the prayer post, he and Gao Xi waited outside the gate of the Fu Mansion for a while, only to see someone running out of the mansion in a hurry, and then respectfully welcomed them into the mansion.

After the two of them sat down in the living room, someone consciously served them tea and snacks, but Fu Tong, the head of the Fu family, was never seen......

"Didn't you say that the master of the house was at home?! Why did she welcome all the guests in, but she didn't see the master come out to meet the guests? Is she so busy that she can't take a break?"

Although she had doubts in her heart, Gao Ran did not take the initiative to ask the subordinates who were standing aside and ready to serve her at any time.

The deepest initial impression left by the subordinates of the Fu Mansion on Gao Ran, who came to visit for the first time, was that they were all silent and silent, and if you didn't ask, they would never take the initiative to talk to you, they would only do their duty silently......

"Hmm...... After all, what kind of master there is, what kind of subordinate will there be......

Having said that, Gao Ran could still vaguely perceive that this Fu Mansion seemed to be quiet on the surface, and there were no guards around it, but in fact, the guards in the mansion should be very strict, and even the most ordinary subordinates who were only responsible for serving tea and water to the guests seemed to be quite well-trained......

"It seems that there shouldn't be many people in this Fu Mansion, but it is estimated that all of them are not simple...... It seems that this Fu Tong should be a person who values 'quality' rather than 'quantity'!"

Even when she first entered the Fu Mansion and walked to the living room, Gao Ran clearly felt that there were very few people in this Fu Mansion - it was estimated that even half of the number of people in her Gao Mansion family was less than half!

However, such an empty and quiet mansion made Gao Ran instinctively vigilant for no reason.

For some reason, she always felt that she was not coming to the "Fu Mansion", but the mansion of a certain high-ranking "big official"!

"The atmosphere of 'conspiracy' here is too strong! It doesn't look like a place where people do business live, but more like a place where people who play politics live......

Although there was no actual evidence, Gao Ran still had a trace of suspicion about the Fu family for no reason: "Could it be that they are no longer satisfied with just a 'family'?!"

Thinking like this, Gao Ran's forehead couldn't help but break out in a little cold sweat......

"As far as I know. Fu Tong has only two sons and no daughters. And she was willing to marry all her only two sons to the Gao family...... Is she trying to pull the Gao family into the water?Or is Gao Lan, the head of the Gao family, also an 'accomplice'?!"

Now the lineage of the four great families has become thinner and thinner: the Gao family has only two daughters, the Dong family, like the An family, currently has only one daughter, and the Fu family does not even have a daughter!

Throughout the four great families. The Fu family is in the worst situation - Fu Tong is now over sixty years old, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a biological daughter in this life!

And......

It's not that Gao Ran himself has the heart of a villain...... In fact, just by letting the outside world know, Fu Tong had four husbands! But in the end, she only gave birth to two sons. And they are all the sons of Masao......

This inevitably makes Gao Ran wonder, could this Zhengfu do something behind his back?!

After all, those so-called "house fights" and "palace fights", in the final analysis, are just when people are in a specific environment where they have to share with "more people", or even compete for each other's resources, in order to ensure that they can continue to survive well, they have to try their best to compete for the maximum benefits that this environment can give.

When people are in such a "role", driven by the entire environmental pattern, "house fights" and "palace fights" are inevitable - not only women, but also men!

Therefore, when circumstances force men to share a wife - especially in such a large family. It is also normal for men to have "house fights" between men for their own benefit!

"Hmm...... It seems that the matter of marriage may be more complicated than I imagined......"

Gao Ran doesn't know if this Fu Tong is really a "fan of the authorities", and she can't see what her husbands have done behind her back for so many years? But, at least one thing is certain-this Fu Tong's husband, that is, Fu Wenxuan's biological father, is definitely not simple!

"Huh, you...... Aren't you the little girl I met in the morning?!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the door of the living room, and Gao Ran's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the current reality.

However, when Gao Ran instinctively turned her head to look at the woman who was hurrying towards her. found out that the woman was none other than her eldest sister, Gao Qi.

Gao Ran saw that it was Gao Qi, and couldn't help frowning slightly. I thought about it for a while, but after a moment, I made a decision: "Instead of letting her see in front of Fu Tong that we sisters actually don't know each other later, it would be better to let Gao Qi know my true identity before Fu Tong comes, so that she can have a bottom in her heart first-just let me take the initiative to say it myself." It's a bit embarrassing indeed......"

"You go down first, I have something I want to talk to Miss Gao alone......

"Yes, miss. ”

The subordinate was very knowledgeable and immediately retreated after Gao Ran whispered instructions to him.

"It turned out to be the eldest sister!"

After the next person walked away, Gao Ran got up and bowed to Gao Qi slightly, in order to express the minimum respect she should have for her "sister" as a "sister".

"Huh?"

It's not that Gao Qi didn't hear what Gao Ran called her just now...... But, this "eldest sister", for someone with status like her, it's not just anyone who can call her that!

Gao Qi couldn't help but look Gao Ran up and down, but saw that she was not dressed like she would be from that kind of uneducated family...... I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart......

"Eldest sister, I'm Gao Ran. ”

Gao Ran naturally knew that Gao Qi was questioning something when she looked at her at the moment, but time was pressing, so she didn't talk to her too much and told her the truth directly.

"Gao Ran?!"

When Gao Qi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of disbelief!

"You...... You say you're Gao Ran?!You, you're really my little sister?!"

"Hmm. ”

Unlike Gao Qi's surprised reaction, Gao Ran responded very calmly.

Then, she took out a jade pendant from her arms that could prove that she was the second lady of the Gao family, and handed it to Gao Qi.

"If the eldest sister doesn't believe it, I still have this jade as proof. ”

Gao Qi forced himself to be calm, but his expression was extremely stern, and he took the jade pendant handed by Gao Ran, and then took out his own piece and compared it......

"It's really from the same piece of jade!"

After confirming that Gao Ran's token was indeed genuine, Gao Qi's eyes when he looked at her again became a little complicated......

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to stay in the academy?!Did you go down the mountain without permission?!"

Although this way of "recognizing" did make Gao Qi feel both surprised and embarrassed, but fortunately, there is no one else around now except Gao Ran's "guard".

Thinking about it, since Gao Ran dared to recognize her face to face in front of the "guard", then presumably the "guard" must also be her cronies! Since this is the case, then she doesn't have to worry too much about it, or hurry up to ask her what is the purpose of such an "untimely" sudden appearance this time? ! )
