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

"What did you say?" Mother Liu stood up and looked at Mother Guo with disbelief.

"Within three days, the Marquis will open the ancestral hall, and the identity of the Second Miss will be announced." Mother Guo said with a smile, "Madam only asked me to tell you about this matter, so you'd better not tell the Fourth Miss."

"Madam is discussing this with the Fourth Miss now?"

"Probably not. You know the Fourth Miss's temper. If I tell her like this, I'm afraid she will think too much. What if this causes a quarrel between the sisters? That's not what Madam wants to see. Madam means it's best for the Marquis to say it."

Mother Guo continued, "It's just that the Madam can't wait these few days, so she will take the Second Miss to Shanzhi Hall to stay first today. Those maids are brought there to serve the Second Miss. The Fourth Miss is under house arrest, so there is no need for so many people. If they are needed in the future, they can come in. Those maids have been with the Second Miss for a long time, and they have a close relationship with her. They are brought there to serve her so that she won't be used to using other people."

Mother Liu nodded and said after a while, "That's right, sister, if you need anyone in the courtyard, just ask. The fourth young lady has me now, and Lixia and Suxin are enough."

Mother Liu never thought that Su Qing was actually the second daughter, the deceased Meng Wan. Although Mother Guo did not explain what happened, she only said that there was a special reason back then, but Mother Liu knew that there must be something hidden.

"Also, the Second Miss has been working in the Fourth Miss' courtyard for such a long time, and many people who come and go know her. After the worship at the ancestral hall a few days later, Madam said that no one in the mansion should have seen the Second Miss."

Mother Liu understood that the matter was to be kept silent, but she didn't know what name to give to the second young lady who had been dead for more than ten years.

"Don't worry, sister. No one will say anything in Qin Garden. There won't be anything wrong in our house. But what about the outside world? Su Qing, huh? The second young lady has accompanied the fourth young lady to visit several households."

"What's the big deal? There are so many people who look alike. When our second young lady goes out again, her demeanor and attire will be different from before."

Mother Guo did talk about this with Wang today, but Wang didn't care. Even if Su Qing had never left the gate of Huainan Marquis's Mansion, people would still talk about it. Huainan Marquis's Mansion is not the imperial palace, so how could there be no news leaking out? It's just a matter of explaining it to each courtyard. It's easy to talk about the first house, but how could the second and third houses keep anything secret for the first house? So, it's really just a talk.

Wang Shi didn't care. Outsiders could say whatever they wanted. As long as Su Qing's name was cleared, she could go out as the second young lady of the Huainan Marquis's mansion. No one would dare to ask her questions. As long as they didn't ask her under her nose, what did others say matter?

Three heads came close to him, and six eyes looked at him curiously. Su Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's scary."

Cai Er took Su Qing's hand and said, "You have become rich, right? Did the Crown Prince's wife promise you something? It's only been so long since you saved her, why did the lady just think of rewarding you?"

"You only know how to ask for rewards. Have you ever seen anyone giving rewards and also including sisters and friends?" Chuan'er rolled his eyes at Cai'er.

"Qing'er, what's going on? You've been acting so weird lately."

Su Qing opened her mouth, "Will you blame me if I don't tell you now? But I promise it's a good thing. It's a good thing for you to go to Shanzhi Hall, and Chuan'er and Cai'er can be first-class maids. How about it?"

"what?"

"What did you say? Qing'er, wait a minute, me? Can I be the waiter?" Cai'er pointed at her nose with one hand and pulled Su Qing's hand with the other hand and said excitedly.

"Yes, Shanling is the second-class one, how about that?"

Shan Ling also looked incredulous, "Sister Qing'er, is this true? But who are we going to serve?"

"Yes, there is no way our master in the mansion would be short of two first-class maids all of a sudden." Cai'er asked.

"Don't worry about this. Okay, hurry up and pack up. Let's go to Shanzhi Hall first. This is not the place to talk."

Seeing Cai'er and Shanling happily leaving the house to pack their bags, Chuan'er walked up to Su Qing and asked, "Let's go to Shanzhi Hall. Shall I be your maid?"

"Ah? You guessed it?"

"As expected, that's what I said. Cai'er and I are in first place, so what about you? Are you going to be in special place?"

Su Qing heard Chuan'er's words "special" and laughed, "You are really smart."

"Will the Crown Prince's wife adopt you as her adopted daughter?"

Su Qing was impressed by Yu Chuan'er's intelligence and sensitivity. She thought for a moment and sat down. "Chuan'er, this matter will be known to the whole mansion in a few days. I'm telling you today, but whether others ask or not is none of our business. What the mansion says about this matter has nothing to do with us. In the future, you should follow the mansion's statement when speaking to the outside world. Do you understand?"

Chuan'er nodded, and Su Qing said softly, "I am actually the second daughter of the Meng family, Meng Wan."

"Ah? How is that possible? Didn't the Second Miss already, already..."

"That's false. I was actually taken away by one of the prince's concubines."

"Your mother? I mean the woman who sold you out?"

"Yes, she resented the Madam for not letting her in, so she set a trap to take me away. This time, because I saved the Madam, she discovered the mark on my body, and she also found Su Wanniang, the woman who took me away."

"Is it the birthmark on your lower back?" asked Chuaner.

"Yes, that's it, because if nothing unexpected happens, you will always follow me. And compared to Cai'er, you are more stable and mature, and I will need your help in many things in the future. So, I don't want to hide it from you. As for Cai'er and Shanling, there are some things that they are better off not knowing, don't you understand?"

Chuan'er nodded after hearing what Su Qing said. "I know that those two have little experience and their minds are still simple. But, you will be a proper lady from now on. Is it okay for only a few of us to be around you? You also know that I have always been by the side of the fourth lady. Although I have achieved the second rank, I have stayed in the back room for so many years."

"It doesn't matter. More people isn't necessarily a good thing. As long as we are united in heart, it's fine. Some things are not born to anyone, so we have to take our time."

After a while, Cai'er and Shanling ran in happily, each carrying two large bags. Chuan'er looked at the bulging bags and said with a smile, "They really brought all their belongings with them."

"Of course, who knows what the future will be like, maybe it will be useful." Cai'er said proudly, and Shan Ling nodded behind her.

Su Qing understood clearly that Shan Ling was Cai'er's little tail and wanted to follow Cai'er in everything.

Chuan'er also quickly packed up his things. Su Qing was about to pack up his own things, but was stopped by Chuan'er.

Cai'er looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and went forward to help Chuan'er clean up. Until the voice of Mother Guo came from the yard, Su Qing stood up and walked out with three maids.

"Is everything packed?" Wang pulled Su Qing's hand.

"Well, there aren't many things anyway. Should we let them go..." Su Qing looked towards the east room of Meng Qi, the main wife.

"No need, let's go." Wang pulled Su Qing out of the yard first.

Mother Liu stood in the yard for a long time, looking at the house where Su Qing had lived, and after thinking for a while, she walked in.

The room where Chuan'er and Su Qing lived was clean and tidy. Mother Liu sat on Su Qing's bed and thought about everything that happened to Su Qing in Qinyuan. Except for a few times when she spoke to Su Qing in a bad tone, she had never done anything out of line with Su Qing. It was just that when Meng Qi lost her temper with Su Qing, she did not stop him.

Mother Liu sighed. Who could have thought that Su Qing was actually the second young lady? She knew that based on Su Qing's personality, she would never do anything to her, but she still shook her head in self-mockery.
