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

"Madam, is this okay? Will the Marquis and the Prince agree?" Mother Guo said worriedly.

"I will never let Sister Wan be my adopted daughter. She is my own daughter, and I want her to stand upright among the noble ladies in the capital."

"But if that's the case, how do we explain what happened in the past? The whole city knows about the Second Miss's affair."

Wang stood by the window and looked at the grape rack on the west side of the yard. The grapes on it were the size of soybeans and looked beautiful green under the sunlight.

"I know. I have already thought of an excuse. Now it depends on what the Marquis thinks."

Mother Guo was still very worried. "Madam, I said just in case. If the Marquis firmly disagrees, then don't insist. Let the Second Miss..."

"I know, I wasn't so sure before I came here, but now it's not certain."

Look at Su Qing and Yongqing's family turning around the screen wall, with a bright smile on her face, a small basket in her hands, talking and laughing.

Wang's lips curled up, "My sister Wan has suffered so much, and all the suffering she endured was caused by them and their son. If I can't let sister Wan stand upright in the Huainan Marquis's mansion, what qualifications do I have to let her call me mother?"

Meng Changfeng entered Songhe Garden and asked, "What does the eldest daughter-in-law want to say?"

"I don't know either. I went out today and came back to say that I had important matters to discuss with the Marquis. Please come to the inner courtyard early in the evening."

Meng Changfeng nodded and rubbed his forehead. "It's nothing more than Sister Qi's matter. It's been six days, and it's almost the day agreed upon by the palace. I don't know what Master Zhou Er means. I heard that he hasn't returned to the palace yet."

"Have you been outside all the time?" Song asked.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou Er is really something. He has been staying in Xiao Meihua's room in Zuihualou since the incident and has not come out. He even had a fight with the kid from the Gao family because of Xiao Meihua a few days ago, and the kid from the Gao family was injured."

"The son of Gao Zhan, the Minister of Revenue?"

"Otherwise, which Gao family?"

The Minister of Revenue Gao Zhan is the elder brother of the current queen, and Gao Yang is the only legitimate son of the Gao family.

Song sighed, "What kind of thing is this? He's still so young, but he still goes to places like that every day. He spends money like water. I heard that there's not much left of the dowry left by the former princess. If he had been more promising and motivated, Sister Qi wouldn't have..."

Seeing Meng Changfeng looking at her with eyes as sharp as a knife, Song shut her mouth.

"Which young man is not frivolous? Spending money like water is something the Prince's Mansion has the talent to spend. The fact that the boy from the Gao family got hurt shows that the Prince Shen's Mansion has the confidence. But this one of ours can't see through the situation and does such a foolish thing. I say it's because of your daily indulgence. If you are not dissatisfied with what Zhou Erye did, why do you keep complaining about it? Where did she get such an idea? You said this at this time, I want to see, without the Prince Shen's Mansion, which family would dare to want her?"

Song sat there not daring to say a word. She watched Meng Yuan and Wang enter the yard one after another, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang looked at the people who had gathered and bowed to Meng Changfeng, saying, "Father, please send the servants away. I have something important to say."

Mother Wu and Dongmei were pouring tea for a few people. When they heard this, they looked up at Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song looked at Mrs. Wang's solemn expression and suddenly had a bad premonition. She heard Meng Changfeng whisper, "All of you go down and guard the door. No one is allowed to walk in the yard."

Then he sat down and asked, "Your mother said you went out today. Where did you go? Is it about Sister Qi?"

Wang looked at the three people sitting on the chairs, six eyes staring at her, and slowly said, "My daughter-in-law went to Jinming Hutong today and met a man there."

"Who? Who did you go to see?" Meng Yuan asked.

"A woman named Su Wanniang, does the prince still remember her?"

Meng Yuan stood up and said, "Who? Who are you talking about? Su, Su Wanniang?"

"Yes, it seems that the prince still remembers her."

"No, didn't she leave a long time ago? When did she come back? Did she look for you?" Meng Yuan asked repeatedly.

Wang looked up at Song. Song frowned at first, obviously not remembering who Su Wanniang was. But when she saw Meng Yuan's performance, she acted as if she suddenly realized something.

"Yes, she is back. Not only that, she is back, but she also brought back a girl, a sixteen-year-old girl."

"Girl? Sixteen years old? Impossible. Her child was already taken away by her mother..." Meng Yuan heard Song's cough and paused for a moment before changing his words, "Her child was too old and died at birth. Where did the child come from? Besides, even if she had one, she wouldn't be sixteen years old."

"That's right, her child is gone, so this child is not hers."

"Whose is that?" Song asked anxiously.

"its mine."

"Ah?" The three of them said in unison, especially Meng Yuan, who walked up to Wang and stretched out his hand to touch her forehead.

Wang dodged away in disgust.

"Boss's wife, please explain it to me all at once. What's going on?"

"Yes, this matter started fourteen years ago when the Young Master took in Su Wanniang." Wang sat down slowly, took a sip of tea, and spoke softly.

With every sentence he spoke, Meng Yuan's mouth opened wider, Song's surprise grew more intense, and Meng Changfeng's brows furrowed more.

"What did you say? You said that she was the one who did what happened to Sister Wan back then? She attracted that wild dog, wild dog..." Song asked with shaking hands.

"Yes, she did it. She hated me because of the loss of my child. She bribed the idle gangs, the servants who served in the farm, and the hunters in the village. She wanted my sister Wan to pay for her daughter's life. So, my sister Wan's death was not an accident, but a man-made disaster."

After Wang said this, tears began to fall.

Meng Changfeng glanced at Song and turned his head, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Does my father look at me as if I'm lying?"

Meng Changfeng stroked his beard. "How did you find out? Was it Su Wanniang who came to look for you? What does she want by telling us this now? Isn't she afraid that we will punish her? Also, what do you mean by saying that she brought a sixteen-year-old girl with her?"

"Yes, yes, what did you mean by your daughter just now?" Song asked anxiously.

Wang smiled lightly, "That's because the girl she designed to kill wasn't Sister Wan. The real Sister Wan was taken away by her. She has been gone for eleven years. She has tortured and enslaved her for more than ten years. My Sister Wan has suffered a lot. She treated Sister Wan as a maid, no, like a slave. Beating and scolding were daily routines. She washed clothes in winter and burned charcoal in summer. She didn't have enough food and slept on the ground in the yard. My Sister Wan was tortured by her for eleven years, eleven years..."

When Wang said this, she covered her face and burst into tears.

Meng Yuan turned around and looked at Song with his mouth open. Song also had a look of disbelief. How could this be possible? How could Su Wanniang steal Wanjie away and abuse her for so many years? How dare she?

For a moment, no one in the room spoke. The three of them were digesting Wang's information. Wang calmed down and continued, "Until two years ago, Su Wanniang sold Sister Wan."

"Sold it? Where did it go?" Meng Changfeng asked.

"Sold it to the West House."

"what?"

"what?"

Just as Meng Changfeng was about to ask again, Wang continued, "Two years ago, due to my father's illness, my mother took Sister Qi to live in the West Mansion for a while, and the West Mansion bought a few new maids. Su Wanniang knew about this and begged the trafficker to sell Sister Wan there. She wanted Sister Wan to be a servant in our mansion under our noses, and be ordered around by us. I, I watched my own daughter coming in and out of my yard, and I even scolded her for not serving Sister Qi well. I, I..."

“What you said, could it be…” Song stood up.

"Yes, she is Su Qing, my sister Wan, the second young lady of our Meng family."

"Bang!" Song stood up too quickly and the teacup on the table rolled down.
