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

After the three of them finished their discussion, Wang said, "We have to ask Sister Wan about this matter. If she disagrees, how can we force her?"

"She doesn't agree? How could she not agree? She's just a maid..." Song said this and noticed that Wang's face changed slightly. She knew she had said something wrong and said apologetically, "No, I mean she was a maid for so many years. Now she has recognized her ancestors and we have found such a good marriage for her. She is so happy that she can't wait."

"But, after all, she's a replacement marriage, and I'm afraid she'll have some concerns," Wang was still hesitant.

"Geez? What are you talking about? We are not marrying her off to a despicable family. That's a royal palace, second only to Prince Li, Prince Shang, and Prince Zhenbei. If she marries there, she will be listed in the Jade Records. Would she be unwilling?" Song kept saying, as if it would be a huge joke if Su Qing didn't agree.

"But, anyway, we didn't find her specifically for her. We came up with this idea because Sister Qi made a mistake and we didn't want to lose this marriage."

"Then wait until she agrees. She is the elder sister. It is her duty to consider her younger sister and help her deal with these matters. Besides, if the marriage with the royal palace is really cancelled, your eldest branch will suffer the most. Think about it carefully. I just talked to your mother that in addition to the dowry you give, we will prepare another one for Sister Wan, and she must have the only one among the sisters." Meng Changfeng said calmly.

Wang opened her mouth, but couldn't say no. This was really the best way to handle this marriage now.

But how should I tell Sister Wan? If I open my mouth and she misunderstands that I am marrying in place of Sister Qi, will she still trust me?

Song looked at Wang's expression and sighed, "I think Sister Wan is a sensible person. To be honest, we have talked about it. According to Sister Qi's personality, going to the palace is not the best choice. If it weren't for the marriage arranged by the late princess and you, we would have to think about it carefully. If it is really because of Sister Qi's personality that the in-laws become enemies again, it will be very disadvantageous to our Huainan Marquis Mansion."

Meng Changfeng nodded, and Song continued, "It's all right now. Sister Wan has a gentle personality. Because she didn't grow up in a marquis's mansion, she is more discerning and more suitable for a prince's mansion. I know it's difficult for you, and I'm afraid that Sister Wan will misunderstand and make her unhappy. We never thought of this. If it weren't for Sister Qi's incident, we would definitely find a family of equal or slightly lower status for Sister Wan, so that she wouldn't be bullied by her husband's family."

As Song spoke, she stood up, walked to Wang and took her hand, "Talk to her, it's a very good match. Besides, since ancient times, the marriage of children has been decided by the father. I think it's okay for your father to be the one to arrange a marriage for Wanjie."

The last sentence was a little serious. Wang looked up at Song and was about to speak again when Meng Changfeng stood up and said, "It's decided, unless you can come up with a way to have the best of both worlds. But can you do it now?"

Wang lowered her head again. Meng Yuan watched Meng Changfeng walk out and hurriedly followed him, constantly reminding Wang, "This is a good thing. Don't make the whole family unhappy. You are the mother. Sister Wan's surname is Meng. If she doesn't share the worries of the family at this time, when will she be used?"

Wang left Songhe Garden in a tangled manner, and Guo's mother followed behind with a worried look on her face, "Madam, do you want a sedan chair to come over?"

Wang shook her head and walked slowly along the path. What should she do? Of course, what Meng Changfeng and Song said made sense. It would be best to let Meng Wan marry Meng Qi instead. The most important thing was that Prince Zhou also agreed.

Just as she had just analyzed in Songhe Garden, with this result, the Marquis' Mansion was satisfied, the Prince's Mansion was satisfied, she was satisfied, and Meng Qi was also satisfied, but would the parties involved be satisfied?

I have only known her for a few days, and yet I asked her to marry off in place of her sister. This doesn't make sense at all. It seems as if I had a purpose in recognizing her this time.

Mother Guo didn't know what they had just discussed. She just looked at Wang's listless look and was worried to death. Could it be that there was really something embarrassing about the fourth young lady?

Through the window, Su Qing watched Wang enter the courtyard. Mother Guo came forward to help her up the stairs, while the two little girls followed behind from a distance.

"Mother, why have you been gone for so long? The medicine has gone cold." Su Qing walked out of the west room and went forward to support Wang.

Wang placed her hand on Su Qing's and looked up at her. Although it had only been a few days, her eldest daughter had already undergone a complete transformation. Her lively eyes, calm temperament, dignified and appropriate smile, and the right amount of closeness and concern for her, how should she open her mouth?

Su Qing looked at Wang, who was in deep thought, and turned to look at Mother Guo, who shook her head.

After a while, the maid brought the medicine. Su Qing tested the temperature as usual and handed it to Wang.

Wang had changed into her casual clothes and was leaning on the chaise longue. She did not drink the medicine from Su Qing's hand as usual, but instead took the medicine from Su Qing and drank it in one gulp.

"Mother, are you worried about something? Can you tell me about it so I can share your worries?"

When Wang heard Su Qing say this, her nose felt sore. She was really going too far. Such a sensible child. Was she going to force this child for the sake of her fourth daughter, the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, and the agreement with Sister Min?

Then who am I? What was my original intention in recognizing her?

Wang took Su Qing's hand and asked her to sit opposite her. "You all go out. I want to talk to the second young lady for a while."

Looking at the conflicted Wang, Su Qing did not say anything. Wang's going to Songhe Garden must have something to do with herself. The Marquis asked her to go and it must be related to the Marquis of Pingxi's visit today. The Marquis of Pingxi's visit must be related to what happened to Meng Qi that day. So what could it be?

In a flash, Su Qing remembered that Zhou Yu had said that day that he was only breaking off the engagement with Meng Qi, but not with the Meng family. Could it be that it was really what she thought? Zhou Yu wanted to marry her, and the Meng family asked her to marry Zhou Yu on behalf of Meng Qi?

That should be the case. The Marquis of Pingxi is Yue Zhen's father, and Zhou Yu calls Yue Zhen his third brother. When you think about it this way, everything seems to be logical.

Although Su Qing thought about this, she didn't show it on her face. It seemed that Wang was very conflicted. If she persuaded herself to agree, she would feel sorry for this daughter who had been separated for more than ten years. She just recognized her and married her off in place of her sister. If she didn't persuade herself, it was indeed impossible to use a suitable reason to cover up the trouble Meng Qi had caused.

"Two days ago, Lord Yue from the Pingxi Marquisate came and talked to your grandfather about our marriage with the Zhou family... Today, your grandfather met with Lord Zhou, and the Shenjun Prince's Mansion agreed to this idea."

After saying this, Wang went to see Su Qing. Su Qing was calmer than she had imagined, with just the right smile, as if she was listening to someone else's story.

"Sister Wan, you don't have to worry. I admit that I was happy when I heard the news just now. After all, if there is no such method, Sister Qi's engagement will definitely be cancelled. If the engagement is cancelled, you also know that the Hong family will not come to propose marriage, and there will be no good marriage waiting for Sister Qi. Although I insist on it and talk big, saying that I will find a better one, it is not that easy. Just now at your grandmother's place, your grandfather said that he has made plans to send Sister Qi to the temple."

Su Qing frowned when she heard this. Is it really that serious? Meng Changfeng is too cruel. What does he think of these children? Are they just bargaining chips to maintain relations in Beijing?

"It's just that I'm thinking now, although this is good for everyone, it may not be good for you. Now I only listen to you. If you agree, we will agree. If you are unhappy at all, I will never let you go even if I risk my life."

"Did the princess agree?" Su Qing asked softly.

"Ah? Ah, he must have agreed, otherwise the prince wouldn't have talked to the marquis. And Master Zhou Er said he agreed."

Su Qing nodded. Just as she had guessed, this Wang Xiaoer really liked her. This was good, as it was better than marrying someone she disliked or had never met.

Seeing Su Qing silent for a long time, Wang Shi had tears in her eyes, "Sister Wan, it's because I'm useless. I shouldn't have recognized you and put you in such a difficult situation. I'm going to find the Marquis and the Madam now, and I'm going to tell them..."

"I agree."

Wang wanted to say something else, but when she heard Su Qing's words, she raised her head in surprise.

"Mother, I said I agree. This is very good. First, that is the palace of the king. Many people want to marry there but have no chance. Second, if I marry, the loss of my fourth sister can be minimized. Third, if I go to the palace of the king, mother will be more powerful in the palace of the marquis. Besides, the second master of the Zhou family may not be as bad as the rumors say. We can always live our lives on our own."

Wang pulled Su Qing's hand and placed it on her eyes and sobbed for a long time. Su Qing held Wang in her arms. Oh, it's so difficult to be a mother. The palms and backs of her hands are all made of flesh.

Su Qing believed that Wang was really conflicted. Although she hoped that she would agree, she also knew that such a request was indeed a bit excessive. She wanted her sister to marry someone she didn't like, and in their eyes, he was still an uneducated man with a messy family. Everything was just for face, for the Marquis's, Wang's, and Meng Qi's.
