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

Liu rolled her eyes and smiled first, saying, "Oh, that's what I was wondering. Why do we have to send so much money to Xiangyun Temple every year? It turns out that our Second Miss lives there. Look at how blessed the temple is. How much benefit our Second Miss has gained from it. I have to write a letter to tell Third Master. He was very sad about Second Miss's incident back then. I'm sure he won't be happy now that he knows the truth. Ask him to bring back some of the jade and gemstones he brought back last time for Second Miss."

As soon as Liu spoke, the others followed suit. Meng Juan stood up and walked to Su Qing. "Looking at the sisters makes me feel kind. They are both much younger than me, and we are the closest in age. I won't take them with me when I go out next time."

Su Qing rolled her eyes. She is only one year younger than you, and Meng Xiu is only two years younger than you. But she took Meng Juan's hand affectionately and said, "Thank you, big sister. As soon as I came back, I heard mother say that big sister is the most dignified, generous, gentle and polite. I have grown up in the mountains, and I am afraid I don't understand some rules. I still need big sister to teach me."

Wang looked at Su Qing's ease and felt as comfortable as if she had drunk plum soup. If she had been by her side since childhood, she wouldn't know how caring she would be. Then she saw Meng Qi twisting her handkerchief and looking at Su Qing with an unhappy face, and she sighed softly. She still had to think about her youngest daughter.

Song was very happy when she saw the hypocritical faces in the room, "The eldest daughter-in-law."

Wang stood up and said, "Yes, mother."

"I heard that a girl named Su Qing from Sister Qi's yard was taken away?"

"Yes, her mother saved up enough money and redeemed her a few days ago."

"That's fine. After all, they are mother and daughter, so it's hard to stop them. You can pick and choose among the maids in Sister Qi's courtyard and those who serve Sister Wan in the next few days. If there's nothing you like in the mansion, go out and buy one."

Song's words made Su Qing's identity clear. Now the person standing in front of everyone was the second Miss Meng, Meng Wan, who looked like Su Qing.

(For the sake of the novel as a whole, I will continue to use the name Su Qing, and will occasionally mention it. It’s enough for everyone to know that she and Meng Wan are the same person.)

"Okay, let's have a reunion dinner today, and wait until tomorrow to open the ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors. Sister Wan will go to the Puji Temple with your parents and brothers to stay for a day and complete the rituals that Master Fang Zhi mentioned. Then we will have a flower banquet. I think we should go to the Hundred Flowers Garden. The last time Juan's birthday was held, it was very well organized. Invite all the young ladies of the right age in Beijing, and we will visit each other often in the future."

Song looked at Meng Changfeng and smiled as he explained to her, and nodded, "My Lord, you are right. I think so too. I will leave this matter to the second son's family and the eldest grandson's wife."

Liu rolled her eyes and stepped forward and said, "Why not let your third sister-in-law come along? I heard that it was your third sister-in-law who arranged the entire birthday party for Juan last time."

"Okay, then it's settled. We have to have a lively party. I'll pay for the money. Go back to the front yard and ask Old Ding for the money. This will be your grandfather's gift to you."

Meng Changfeng's last words were directed to Su Qing. Su Qing walked up to Meng Changfeng, bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you grandpa for your love, thank you grandma, and thank you second aunt, third aunt, and eldest sister-in-law for your hard work." After that, she bowed to everyone one by one.

Wang was so happy that Meng Yuan nodded happily.

After the family had a reunion dinner with their own thoughts, they went back to their respective courtyards to analyze the situation.

The eldest family sat in the west room of the main house of Shanzhi Hall. Meng Yuan sat at the top with his sword and golden horse. He drank some wine and looked very happy.

"You all know about Wanjie's story. She was sent to the temple not only for her own reasons, but also to pray for the blessing of our first wife. Back then, the original nun of Xiangyun Temple said that only by sending Wanjie to the temple for foster care can our first wife be kept safe. But I didn't expect that your grandfather would even hide it from me and your mother. Alas, we shed so many tears for nothing. Now it's okay. You are close relatives. Wanjie just returned to the capital. She doesn't understand many things and doesn't recognize many people. You should get closer, get closer, and help more, understand?"

Wang Shi felt even more disdainful after hearing Meng Yuan's words. She had caused trouble, and now someone was cleaning it up. She jumped out to save the situation. It was just that Wan Jie was standing in front of her. She didn't have time to care about some things. Now her main job was to find a husband for her. Of course, if the Shenjun Palace canceled the engagement, she would have to find one for me.

Meng Shao and Meng Wei all stood up with their wives and responded in unison, but Meng Qi was still pulling her handkerchief. It was unknown whether she didn't hear it or for some other reason, but she didn't say anything and didn't stand up.

"Sister Qi, didn't you hear? You can ask your second sister for help and lift your house arrest first. Master Zhou will have something to say in the next two days. No matter what the outcome is, you'd better listen to me carefully. If you continue to be willful, it will not be as simple as house arrest." Meng Yuan said with raised eyebrows.

Meng Wei looked at Meng Qi and knew that she couldn't accept it for the time being. She was obviously his maid, and he had been using her for almost two years. Now she had become his sister. He was sure that no one in the room would believe what Meng Changfeng said just now in Songhe Garden.

But there was one thing that was beyond doubt, this Su Qing must be her biological sister. Not to mention how much she resembled her mother, just looking at Wang's attitude, how could she be so happy if she was not her biological daughter? As for the reason, maybe only the four of them knew, no, maybe Su Qing herself knew it.

Feeling someone pulling her collar, Meng Qi raised her head and saw Meng Yuan looking at her with a frown. She nodded slightly at Meng Yuan and whispered, "Got it."

"The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law."

"Yes," the two daughters-in-law responded in unison.

"Your mother has just gotten better, and Sister Wan has many things to deal with. Whether it's going to the Puji Temple or the flower banquet in the mansion, you have to pay more attention to it. This is your own sister-in-law, don't you understand?"

The two daughters-in-law expressed their loyalty again, and Meng Yuan was very satisfied. It was indeed his fault what happened back then, but what did it matter? His eldest daughter was standing in front of him.

Meng Yuan was happy when he looked at his sons and daughters. He was no longer so angry about Meng Qi. He stood up and patted his robe. "Okay, we have a lot of things to do tomorrow. Let's go back, Sister Wan."

"Yes, father." Su Qing stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Live with your mother at Shanzhi Hall first, and then move to another place if you find one that's good."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, father. I have been separated from mother for so many years. If mother doesn't mind her making a fuss, I would like to live here."

Wang took her hand and said with a smile, "As long as you like it, there's no need to make a fuss. I'm so happy."

Jiang curled her lips secretly. She had said before that she was not in good health and was not happy even when Brother Lang and Brother Yue came to pay their respects for a long time. But this time she said that she didn't mind the noise.

Meng Yuan was happy. He lifted the curtain and walked out. Wang asked her two sons to go back with their wives.

Meng Qi still stood there staring at Su Qing. When he saw Wang looking over, he pouted his lips with a look of disdain and grievance.

Wang sighed and waved at Meng Qi. Meng Qi threw herself into Wang's arms and asked, "Mother, do you not like me anymore now that you have a sister?"

"Nonsense, your sister is my sister, and you are you. You are both my biological daughters, and I love you all."

"But she is obviously Su Qing, how come she became the elder sister?"

"She is Su Qing, but she is also your sister. You don't need to know the reason. You just need to know that your sister has suffered too much and endured too much pain in the past ten years. In the future, you must protect your sister and not let others bully her. You are two sisters, and there will be no one closer than you, do you understand?" Wang hugged Meng Qi and held Su Qing's hand.

"Don't you always complain that Sister Juan treats you badly and always plots against you? Sister Xiu treats you politely and distantly, and never speaks up for you or stands up for you when something happens? Now that you have a biological sister, she will never be like those two. Just wait and see, it won't be long before you know the benefits of having a biological sister."

After hearing what Wang said, Meng Qi raised her head from Wang's arms. Su Qing was looking at her with a smile. For a moment, she felt as if she had never known her before, but she felt uncomfortable.

When she heard Meng Changfeng say that Su Qing was Meng Wan, her first reaction was that her mother now had two daughters, so everything she had before would have to be divided in two, including all the love Wang had given her. That was not acceptable, as she was trying to snatch it from her.

"I don't want a sister, mother, there must be a mistake, are you doing this because she saved you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. She is your biological sister. Don't let me hear such words again." Wang said with a straight face.

Meng Qi was more resolute in her previous thoughts after seeing Wang's attitude. "Su Qing, I tell you, I will not call you sister, and don't compete with me for mother." Meng Qi said with a pout.

Seeing Wang's hand about to be raised, Su Qing stepped forward and pressed it down, "Mother, it's possible that my sister can't accept it for a while, but over time, she will naturally understand the benefits of having a biological sister."

"Don't be hypocritical. I don't need a sister. Tell me, did you know your identity long ago and deliberately let me bully you in my yard to make me angry with you and make me love you more because I see you are pitiful."

"That's enough, Sister Qi. You've disappointed me so much. I don't expect you to accept your sister all of a sudden, but at least you can't doubt her with such words. Don't you even trust me anymore?"

Meng Qi began to cry, her lips tightly pursed, with a stubborn look on her face.

Seeing that Wang was about to say more, Madam Liu stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe Meng Qi's tears. "My dear lady, this is your biological sister. You can't accept it for a while, right? Let's take it slowly. Madam has always been good for you. In Madam's heart, no one can surpass you."

Su Qing looked at the little brat who was obviously vying for favor and sighed, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister. Even though I recognize you, Fourth Sister is the most important in the hearts of mother and everyone in the mansion. I promise you that I will never compete with you for anything, including people, things, and objects."

Wang looked up at Su Qing, only to see Su Qing shaking his head at her, signaling her not to worry. Meng Qi stood up after hearing this, "You said it."

"Yes, I said so."

Watching Meng Qi leave the yard, Wang held Su Qing's hand and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you. I spoiled you because of your sister."

"How can you say that I am wronged? My sister is pure-hearted. In fact, I also know that when the accident happened, you were very sad, and then my fourth sister came into being to fill the void of losing me. My fourth sister made up for your regret, so naturally I will raise her more carefully. It is also okay to let her do what she wants. Mother, don't be too anxious. Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to find a strict mother to raise your fourth sister? I think it will definitely work."

"That's right. Once your affairs are settled, we'll have to find not only her but also one for you. You're sixteen this year, so it's time to start discussing it."

Su Qing knew she couldn't escape this, but it was too early to say anything now, so she pretended to be embarrassed, blushed and stopped talking.
