After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

"When the prince first placed me outside, I was really infatuated with me for a long time. To be honest, for me who has worked in the tavern for so long, it is easy for me to make men happy. Qing'er knows this. In Ruyi Pavilion, my business is pretty good, isn't it?" Su Wanniang looked up at Su Qing with a little self-deprecating pride.

"After a few months, the prince invited his friends to the courtyard. At first, we drank and ate, admired paintings and debated poems, and sometimes brought some antiques for appreciation. Although I didn't understand, I knew that eight out of ten times the things bought by the prince were not good things, but in order to make him happy, I praised him for his good eyesight every time.

"Later, several people became frequent visitors to the courtyard. They started by discussing calligraphy and painting, and later on, they discussed matters at the court. I wonder if the Crown Prince's wife remembers any major events that happened at the court thirteen years ago?"

Wang frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, "The former queen was deposed?"

Su Wanniang nodded, "Yes, at that time they wanted to contact various aristocratic families to jointly write a petition, accusing the late queen's family of being lawless, extravagant, oppressing the people, and raping men and women. After drinking too much, the prince was persuaded by them and signed the petition."

Several people took a deep breath. If the Marquis knew about it, it would be hard to say whether the Crown Prince could continue to be the Crown Prince. Moreover, if the former Queen was not overthrown or the people behind her had other ideas, the Huainan Marquisate would be implicated. Since ancient times, the struggle between the former and the harem was not something that could be casually participated in.

"What happened next? That petition..." Wang didn't know about this, which proved that the petition was not submitted in the end.

"I put it away. I saw that they were drunk, so I put it away. Later, when they were drunk, I took a piece of calligraphy written by the prince and soaked it in wine. It looked similar to the petition, but the words on it were no longer clear.

"The next day, they woke up and found that the petition was destroyed. They were very angry and wanted to rewrite it. But the prince was no longer in a state of courage due to the alcohol. He mumbled and said he would think about it again, and sent those people away."

"Is the petition in your hands?" Wang asked.

"Yes, I originally wanted to destroy it, but I thought maybe I could use it in the future, and it would be good to use it to threaten or control someone, because I was already pregnant at that time."

"Madam didn't agree to let you enter the mansion, and the prince lied to you and said it was my idea, so you took out the petition?"

"I didn't take it out. The prince always thought that the petition was really soaked with wine. I just told him the contents on it. I said that as long as I could enter the mansion and give birth to the child, I would not tell anyone about this matter."

"If you say that the prince had the intention to kill you at that time, that's not the case. After all, you only said it verbally." Wang said.

"Yes, that's right. What I just said should not be correct. The matter of my child should have been Madam's own idea, and the prince did not object."

"How did you lose your child?" asked Guo's mother.

Su Wanniang's face showed a painful look. "Since I met you, I have been waiting for the birth of my baby in the courtyard. The prince found a midwife for me. But a few days before the birth, the midwife suddenly passed away due to some matter. Just when I was worried, the prince brought another one. She told me..."

Wang saw Su Wanniang looking at her and said sarcastically, "The prince said I found it for you."

"Yes, I was very happy at that time, thinking that you might have figured it out and would take me home after I gave birth. But I didn't expect that the several doctors who examined me said that it would take at least five or six days before I gave birth, but the midwife insisted that I would give birth that night. The maid who served me argued with her, saying that it was impossible for me to give birth when my cervix had not yet opened and my water had not broken, but the midwife said that I could give birth."

Su Wanniang looked away. "I will never forget the pain when she pulled the baby out of my body. I almost passed out from the pain. I covered my stomach and asked her not to pull my baby, but the maid she brought with her held me down. I even heard the sound of my daughter's arm being torn off."

Su Qing felt his scalp tingling when he heard this, and Song's smiling face appeared in his mind. Were the ancient people so fierce?

"I clearly heard my daughter's cry, but the midwife said it was a dead fetus, and asked someone to tell the prince who was waiting outside. But the prince didn't ask a single question after hearing it. I heard the maid who served me shouted to him anxiously, asking him if he didn't want to see me and the child.

"Then I fainted. When I woke up, the maid who had been serving me was gone. The one who was watching over me was the midwife. She told me that the child had been buried and it was a girl. She told me to take good care of myself and that the Crown Prince's wife would tell me how to arrange for me later."

Wang was very quiet when she heard this, as if she had calmed down after all her speculations were confirmed. "So, you hate me. You think I arranged for the midwife to forcibly pull your daughter out, and buried her without letting you see her. So you want to find a chance to take revenge."

"Yes, I was thinking at that time that I must take revenge and make you feel the pain of losing your daughter. But I must have the cooperation of the prince to take revenge, otherwise I will never see your daughter."

"So, you wanted to take the second young lady away from the beginning?" Mother Guo said.

"No, from the beginning I wanted to use the prince's hand to get Qing'er out and then kill her."

Su Qing and Wang exclaimed at the same time and looked at each other.

"Then why did you change your mind?" Su Qing asked.

Su Wanniang glanced at Su Qing and smiled. "I've been recovering for more than two months. I feel better now, so I'm thinking about how to implement my plan. I don't know if the prince came to my yard more often during that time because he felt guilty or something. His friends also started to come and visit more often.

"One of them wanted to establish a friendship with the Lord Fan of Shen County Mansion, but his wife sent invitations several times but the princess did not meet her, so she wanted to ask the prince to use your name to invite the princess to the manor. After the prince accepted an ancient inkstone from that person, the two of them decided to let the prince's wife take Qing'er, and the princess would naturally take Young Master Zhou Er to the manor.

"I was very happy to hear that. I thought it was a very good opportunity. After I found out about the village, I went to see it several times. There was a mountain behind the village, and wild dogs often appeared there. They came to the village in groups to harm chickens and ducks. The villagers would hunt them every now and then. When I went there, I happened to see the villagers coming back with two wild dogs after hunting them.

"So, I came up with an idea, an idea that would create an accident without causing suspicion. I paid the hunter to hunt a few wild dogs for me. I only said that the master was going to hold an autumn hunt and would release them for everyone to have fun, so they had to be alive. I also spent money to bribe the old woman on the farm and asked her to apply a kind of powder that could excite wild dogs on Qing'er's clothes. I told the old woman that I was her wet nurse and was punished for making a mistake. I wanted to see her. I asked her to apply the powder on the second young lady's clothes, and then the second young lady would think of me and would talk to the mistress about it, and I would go back to work for the second young lady."

After Su Qing heard this, he admired Su Wanniang very much. It was a good thing that such a person did not enter the mansion, otherwise she might have caused some trouble.

"Then why did your plan change again? I mean..." Wang really couldn't explain why she didn't kill Su Qing.

"It was just a coincidence. Just when all the plans were almost in place, a family next door encountered a villain who came to seek revenge. The whole family was killed, including their three-year-old daughter."

Mother Guo and Yongqing's family looked at each other. Yes, they all knew about this matter. Later, Mother Guo found out that because of this incident, Su Wanniang moved away and her whereabouts were unknown. She thought she was afraid.

"Because it was an unexpected death, and there are no relatives or people to collect the body, I don't know how it happened, but I suddenly thought of using someone else's body as a substitute. If I let you think Qing'er is dead, you will be in great pain. Then I will take Qing'er away, and after a few years, when the time is right, I will bring her back and raise her to be submissive and willing to be bullied. Then you will be sad again, and that will be more satisfying."

Wang looked at Su Qing who was standing beside her and listening seriously. She felt that Su Wanniang's goal had been achieved. When she found out that Su Qing was Sister Wan, she regretted it so much that she died again.
