After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home
Chapter 104 Are you okay?
Su Qing was very happy. On the one hand, his identity was confirmed. Although he had known about this matter before, he had no reason to do so. This time, his identity was justified. Although he could not act arrogantly in the future, at least he did not have to be humble anymore. The people around him would also benefit from it, just like Gu Hai, who benefited from it.
In fact, she had wanted to come to the tea shop for a long time, for no other reason than that Gu He's wife had just given birth to her second child, a son, a few days ago. She had already made an appointment with Cai Er to come and see the tea shop together, but after what happened to Meng Qi, she didn't dare to ask for leave from Liu's mother.
Since I was going, I naturally couldn't go empty-handed. I touched the purse in my sleeve, thinking that I would no longer have to worry about money in the future, so I might as well spend it all and buy a gift for the child.
When Yongqing's family heard that Su Qing wanted to buy silver jewelry, they quickly took her to the largest silver shop in the south of the city, "Baojintang." The name of the silver shop was "Jin" (gold) in reverse order.
The silver shops in the south of the city are not as famous as those in the east, and the items they sell are not fancy or expensive, but mostly practical. After all, the people living in the south of the city are mostly middle-class families.
But this "Baojin Hall" is really quite large, with three floors. It looks more imposing than the "Defeng Tower" at the junction of the east and south cities.
Yongqing went up to the housekeeper and told her that he wanted Su Qing to go upstairs to choose, but Su Qing said it was not necessary, as she was not planning to buy any rare treasures and was in a hurry to see the baby.
"I want to buy some for the newborn baby. Take out the suitable ones and have a look."
The housekeeper was a good judge of people. Although Su Qing's clothes were not the best, she was accompanied by a group of maids and women, and the carriage she had just taken had the emblem of the Huainan Marquisate. She smiled and said, "Okay, our shop has just made a new batch. Please come over here and take a look to see if there is anything you like."
Su Qing followed the housekeeper to the counter on the left. The counter was made of glass and was filled with silver products for children. The waiter behind the counter smiled and took out two trays. Su Qing carefully selected them and finally chose a pair of small bracelets with small bells on the wrists.
When Yongqing's wife saw that Su Qing had made her choice, she hurriedly took out money from her purse. Su Qing smiled and held her hand, "This is a gift for my nephew. Why do I need you to pay for it?" After that, she handed over five taels of silver. If Yongqing's wife hadn't been following her, she would have been ready to bargain for the price.
Yongqing's wife did not insist, and smiled as she led Su Qing to the tea shop. This area was where the shops in the south of the city were concentrated, so the tea shop was not far away. Yongqing's wife walked in front and led the way attentively, and Su Qing followed two maids and two guards brought by Wang.
In the room on the second floor facing the street, Zhou Yu walked to the window with a cup of tea, watching people coming and going downstairs, and slowly drank tea. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his sight, and he squinted his eyes to look at the light purple.
After thinking about it, he felt that he had seen it wrong. That dress was not something that a servant could wear. He shook his head with some self-mockery, thinking about what Uncle Qi said that day. If he broke off the engagement, he would have no chance to see her again. He originally thought that if she followed Meng Qi to the palace, he could see her every day. This was actually one of the few benefits of Zhou Yujue marrying Meng Qi.
"What are you looking at? You don't even answer me when I talk to you." Yue Zhen walked over.
"Nothing, I just saw someone who looked very much like someone I know."
"Is he someone you know?"
"No, I saw it wrong." Zhou Yu answered and was about to turn around, but he saw the purple figure suddenly turned back and said something to the old woman behind him. Zhou Yu put the teacup in Yue Zhen's hand and ran away in a few steps.
Yue Zhen watched Zhou Yu run downstairs and then stand on the street looking around, as if he didn't see the person he wanted to see. He stood there thinking for a while and then ran east along the street.
Next to the tea shop is a teahouse with a few tables at the door and a few guests sitting here and there.
"Yongqing's."
"Yes, second lady."
"You guys can drink some tea here and wait for me. If I take you in like this, I'm afraid it will scare the family members."
Yongqing understood and handed the snack box to Su Qing, "Yes, I understand. Miss, don't worry, we will wait here."
Su Qing nodded to Yongqing's family and walked briskly into the tea shop.
The waiter in the tea shop recognized Su Qing and was stunned when he saw her come in. The clothes Su Qing wore today were the ones Wang asked her to change into after she arrived at Shanzhi Hall. This was the simplest clothes that Guo Mama could find, but it was unusually gorgeous for a servant in the mansion.
"Qing, Miss Qing... I almost didn't recognize you. Aunt Liu just said that there are a lot of things to do in the mansion, and I don't know when you and Miss Cai'er will be able to ask for leave to come." After saying this, he looked behind Su Qing, "Miss Cai'er didn't come?"
"No, she didn't take a leave." Mother Liu didn't have much work to do in the mansion. She only took care of Song's small vegetable garden. Because of Meng Qi's matter recently, Song was not in the mood to go shopping. Gu He's wife just happened to give birth, so Mother Liu simply took a long vacation to come and take care of her during the confinement period.
Su Qing walked into the backyard with ease. Qing Rui was sitting on a chair with her big belly, eating a big peach handed to her by Gu Hai's wife. When she looked up, she saw Su Qing coming in and stood up happily, "Qing'er, why are you here without saying a word?"
Su Qing hurriedly took a few quick steps, "Hurry up and sit down, be careful." Qing Rui took Su Qing's hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, it just looks scary, but I'm actually very agile."
As they walked, she pulled Su Qing towards Gu He's room. There was a red cloth hanging at the door. When they opened the door, there was a curtain. Qing Rui went in first. Mother Liu's voice came from inside the room, "Didn't I tell you to go to the yard? Why are you coming in again?"
"Aunt, look who's here?"
"Godmother, I'm here to see my nephew."
Mother Liu had just finished changing her grandson's diaper and was very happy to see Su Qing come in. Gu He's wife was lying on the bed and asked Su Qing to sit down. Su Qing handed the snack box to Gu Hai's wife and went to see the baby who had just been born a few days ago.
The tiny baby was wrinkled like a little monkey. In her previous life, Su Qing had visited a colleague in the hospital who had just given birth, and the babies there were all fair and clean. So when she saw Gu He's child, she wanted to reach out her hand but retracted it.
Mother Liu smiled and said, "You don't dare to hold her, right? Qingrui doesn't dare to hold her either. She's too young. She must be a full month old at least. Why are you here at this time? Cai'er isn't with you?"
"No, I came to the south of the city with the Crown Prince's wife. The Crown Prince's wife went to the courtyard where she received her dowry, so I took a leave of absence and came here." Su Qing said as she took out the gift she bought for the child. Mother Liu looked at the solid bracelet and kept saying that Su Qing had spent a lot of money.
The room was stuffy, and the smell of milk and diapers on the baby was not pleasant. Qingrui stayed for a while and then went out. Mother Liu watched the child fall asleep, then took Su Qing's hand and went to the room where she could rest.
"What should we do about the Fourth Young Lady's matter? I was so scared when I saw Yuandong and Yuanyue being dragged out that day. I went to Qin Garden to ask about it, but Mother Liu saw us. I didn't dare to go again, fearing that it would cause trouble for you. Later, Cai'er told me that you were fine, and I was relieved."
"Well, I'm fine. I was with the Crown Prince's wife when the incident happened, so it's not my turn to be punished. I don't know what the rules are now. Everything depends on Mr. Zhou Er's opinion. But Miss Four is determined to cancel the engagement."
Mother Liu sighed, "What's going on? We were already discussing a good marriage, but something like this happened. Where is the face of the two families? By the way, how are you so capable? How did you think of saving the Crown Prince's wife in such a way?"
"I have met such guests at my mother's place before. Seeing that they were rescued in this way, I decided to give it a try too. I didn't expect it to really work." Su Qing said while considering whether he should tell Mother Liu about this matter first.
Seeing Wang's expression, she would confront the Marquis and the others when she returned, but in her opinion, Meng Changfeng would not be willing to make her identity public, as there were too many things involved and too many things to deal with. The best outcome would be for Wang to recognize her as her adopted daughter, with a ready-made reason, as she had saved her life.
So, let’s not say anything for now and wait and see how Wang’s side arranges it.
The two chatted for a while, and then heard a crying child from next door, and Mother Liu went out. The houses in the backyard were all side rooms, and it was very hot at noon. When Su Qing walked out of the house, Qing Rui and Gu Hai's wife were no longer in the yard.
The recliner was still there, and Su Qing sat down. There were two peaches on the table next to it. Su Qing picked up one and was about to take a bite. When she looked up, she saw a head sticking out from the wall behind the back door. She was so scared that she almost threw the peach out.
"It's you. Why did you walk so fast? I lost sight of you when I hurried downstairs. Fortunately, I was smart and thought you would come here, and sure enough." Zhou Yu lay there with a smug look on his face.
Su Qing stood up, opened the back door and walked out. Zhou Yu came down from the wall, and the two stood in the alley looking at each other.
"Are you okay?" Su Qing asked.
