After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home
Chapter 100: So That’s What It Is (1)
When Su Qing walked into the small courtyard of Jinming Hutong, she fell in love with it at first sight. The courtyard is located at the innermost part of the hutong. There is a very big sycamore tree at the door. The branches and leaves are dense at this season. The bunches of sycamore seeds hanging among the branches and leaves make Su Qing look forward to the appearance of the sycamore in full bloom in autumn.
There was a well in the yard, two houses to the east, and a large shed to the west, with flowers and plants planted in the corners. There was a small hanging flower door on the left side of the main house, with morning glories wrapped around it, and it seemed that there was a small yard or a back room behind it.
Wang took Su Qing's hand and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Su Qing nodded honestly.
"Then it's a deal. This is for you. When I have time, I'll take you to see the farms outside the city. I'll give you whichever one you like. If you like them all, I'll give them all." Wang said with a smile.
"No, it's too much. Leave some for the fourth lady." Su Qing waved his hand.
"She has her own. I have prepared everything for her."
Su Qing thought, this Wang seems to be quite wealthy, hehe, what else is there to sell, just live in this yard, and raise a handsome boy like Wang Xiaoer. What happened, I thought of him again?
The couple who were watching over the yard were about the same age as Guo's mother. When they saw Wang and her men coming, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up. Are you feeling better?" Wang asked the woman.
Mother Guo came forward and helped her up. The woman smiled and said, "Much better. The medicine you asked Sister Qiuxia to get for me last time was really effective. I no longer feel any pain after taking it twice."
"Well, it's true that you have to be careful when you get old." Wang said to Su Qing, "This is from Yongqing's family. She was my dowry back then and was also Wanjie's wet nurse. Her son is in charge of several of my farms outside the city. She is not in good health and does not work in the mansion."
Su Qing saw how Wang had shown concern for the woman just now and knew that she must be someone who was highly valued. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yongqing looked up at Su Qing at this time. He was stunned at first, then looked at Guo Mama in disbelief. Guo Mama nodded, and Yongqing's tears flowed out all of a sudden, "Madam, I am happy for you. It is really God's mercy. I am willing to die immediately. If it were not for your grace... I have never slept well in the past ten years. Every night I can see the second young lady's appearance, complaining that I did not protect her. Second young lady, I am guilty, guilty."
After saying that, she knelt down and began to kowtow to Su Qing. Her husband seemed to be an honest man, and when he saw his wife kneeling down, he also knelt down and kowtowed.
Su Qing understood at once that this Yongqing family member must have something to do with the original owner's matter, and she must have gone out with Meng Wan. Logically, after such a big incident, it would be good for her to be alive, but now she is guarding the house, so it seems that Wang Shi has protected her.
Su Qing stepped forward and helped Yongqing's family up. "Hurry up, there are still many days to come. Madam just said that this house will be given to me. If you feel sorry for me, you should take good care of the house, okay?"
Yongqing's family looked at Su Qing's smiling face and nodded with satisfaction.
Mother Guo wiped the tears from her eyes and asked, "Is there someone behind me?"
Yongqing's family also calmed down and nodded, "I brought it back last night."
"Did you make a fuss?"
"No, she was very quiet, as if she knew something. She also said that I underestimated her."
Wang nodded, "Would you like to go with me?"
Su Qing thought about it and nodded. Now that she was Meng Wan, her life was bound to change a lot. She would no longer be facing the perspective of a maid, so the more she knew, the better it would be for her future plans.
She was not Wang's biological daughter, so she could not act out the deep love between mother and daughter. In fact, even if the original owner was not dead, Meng Wan would not immediately act like a loving mother and a filial daughter when facing Wang.
In my previous life, I watched too many programs about finding relatives. They were all very good at the beginning, but as time went on, there were too many people who didn’t live together, there were no people and things that they cared about in common, and there were no topics to talk about together. After immersing themselves in the program, they were either cautious or polite and considerate.
Therefore, Su Qing needs to analyze her current situation carefully and then make the most favorable decision for herself. Of course, she does not dislike such intimacy with Wang, because Wang is really a gentle mother. Although she raised Meng Qi wrongly, it cannot be said that she is not a good mother.
After passing the hanging flower gate that I just saw, there are two rooms at the back. They are not as spacious as the back rooms of Qinyuan, but more like storage rooms for sundries.
"Madam, why don't you call her to the east wing?" said Yongqing's wife.
"No need." Wang walked in.
Su Qing followed behind and as soon as he entered, he saw a woman sitting on a bunk bed opposite, with her back to the door. She was very thin and her clothes were thin in the summer. Su Qing could even see the bones on the woman's protruding shoulders pushing up the two corners of her clothes.
The woman heard someone coming into the room, and slowly turned her head. She first saw Wang, and curled her lips slightly, "I hope you are well."
When he saw Su Qing following in, the smile on his face disappeared and he looked up and down at the energetic Su Qing.
Su Qing stood there and let the woman look at him, the painful experiences of the original owner replayed in his mind frame by frame.
The two of them just stared at each other. The woman's appearance was completely different from when she sold herself. Her cheeks were deeply sunken and showed an unnatural red color. Her originally large eyes seemed to take up half of her face. However, her eyebrows seemed to be non-existent, whether due to the light in the room or for some other reason, which made her look even more frightening.
Su Wanniang was also looking at Su Qing, the little girl who had been with her since she was over three years old. She had always been thin and timid. Sometimes she would shrink into a corner when she coughed. Now, she was graceful, with soft eyebrows and eyes, a well-proportioned figure, willow-shaped eyebrows and big eyes, and a healthy and rosy complexion that was better than any rouge. If she hadn't raised her for more than ten years, Su Wanniang would have thought that it wasn't Su Qing who came.
"What? Don't you recognize your mother? Or have some brides forgotten their old mothers?" Su Wanniang wanted to stand up, but her lower body was in severe pain. Pus flowed out when she moved slightly.
"Su Wanniang, don't talk nonsense." Mother Guo said angrily while helping Wang sit on the chair moved from Yongqing's house.
"I'm not wrong. This girl has called me mother for more than ten years, right? Su Qing. Look, she even has my last name." Su Wanniang said as she looked at Wang, but although Wang was staring at her, her face was expressionless.
In fact, Wang's heart was like a raging sea. Her impression of Su Wanniang was still that of her kneeling in front of her with a big belly, wanting to cry and complain, but looking pitiful. Her big eyes under her curved eyebrows looked at her sideways, and her tears were about to fall, which made anyone feel pity.
What did she say at that time? Oh, yes, she said that the prince had allowed her to enter the mansion, and all that was missing was the prince's wife's nod. She said that the prince had no choice but to let her in, and if the wife didn't nod, even if he let her in, she wouldn't be able to serve her tea, and nothing would count.
She came to beg me, asking me to let her enter the mansion first for the sake of the prince's flesh and blood. She must not give birth to the child outside without any reason. She only asked to go back to the mansion to give birth to the child, and I would take care of everything afterwards.
Now that I think about it, I don’t know what Meng Yuan said in front of Su Wanniang in order to evade responsibility, which made her hate him so much that she came up with such a vicious idea.
"But at least I raised you up, and you are still healthy and well, and I didn't kill you. Shouldn't you be grateful to me? Compared to my poor daughter, at least you are still alive, aren't you?" Su Wanniang smiled slightly, and one could vaguely see her original appearance.
"Yes, if you didn't raise me well, how could you see the pain my wife felt after knowing the truth and satisfy your perverted mind?" Su Qing said coldly.
Su Wanniang looked at Su Qing in surprise. In her memory, when had Su Qing ever spoken like this? Yes, after all, she had been in the Marquis' Mansion for more than two years. After all, she was a child of the Meng family. Some things were in her bones, and they could not be changed even if the environment changed.
"But, I don't think Madam is in that much pain. It seems that I am still one step behind."
"Okay, stop talking about this nonsense. I came here today just to know why you did that." Wang interrupted her coldly.
"What if I don't tell you?"
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Sister Wan has returned to my side now, and you don't have much time left. It doesn't matter to me whether you know it or not."
When Su Wanniang heard Wang say that she didn't have much time left, her eyes suddenly darkened. Yes, she really didn't have much time left. In fact, even if they didn't find the girl, she would have to find a way to come back and meet Wang. She had to let her know what happened in the past. But she didn't expect that she had already found out.
