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

"What did you say? Say it again? It's true, you didn't hear it wrong?" Wang stood up with trembling hands. She was so anxious that she almost fell down, and instead knocked the pot and cups on the table that everyone had just used to drink tea to the ground and broke them into pieces.

Su Qing was startled when she heard the sound of porcelain falling from the east room. Before she could react, she heard Wang's sharp voice, "How dare she? She, she is too bullying. She clearly knows that Sister Qi, she, Sister Qi...she is slapping me in the face."

Su Qing and Chuan'er looked at each other and walked to the door. At this time, they heard the voice of Mrs. Guo, "Madam, no, no, the old lady has already agreed. What are you going to say now? Mr. Hong San has never admitted to the matter of the fourth young lady. We also said to the public that the fourth young lady took the wrong car. Therefore, when they come to propose marriage, we can't ask a single question and can't say a single word."

Su Qing stood there in surprise. Propose a marriage? The Hong family? Who? It must not be Meng Qi, otherwise Wang Shi would not be so excited. Who else could it be? Did Song Shi agree?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Guo's mother's exclamation, and then someone calling me.

Su Qing rushed over quickly. Wang's chest was heaving violently, her face was pale, and her eyes were tightly closed.

Without having time to think too much, Su Qing was thinking about the first aid knowledge while asking Chuan'er to go and get a doctor. For a moment, Zhishan Hall was in chaos.

By the time Wang woke up, the palace lanterns had been lit in the room. Su Qing was sitting beside the couch dividing the thread, and Mother Guo was helping to wrap the divided thread around the hoop.

"Mother, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?" Su Qing put down the thread and watched Wang look at him with her eyes open for a while, then tears started to flow.

Su Qing felt a pang in her heart. What was going on? The man that Meng Qi went to live with in order to give up her reputation proposed to Meng Juan.

And Meng Changfeng and Song actually agreed.

In the afternoon, Song came over specially after hearing the news that Wang had fainted. Looking at the unconscious Wang, Song clapped her hands helplessly.

"When your mother wakes up, try to persuade her. I think she still listens to you. None of us thought that the Hong family would come to propose marriage. When the official matchmaker came to our house, I was happy. I thought it was for the fourth girl. This was finally what I wanted and I could make up for what I said a while ago. But who would have thought that, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

Su Qing could see at the time that Song was very angry and helpless. On one side was her own granddaughter whom she had loved for more than ten years, and on the other side was her illegitimate granddaughter who had not been around for more than ten years. Su Qing believed that Song must be unaware of this matter.

"I thought I heard it wrong, and asked many times. The official media said that it was indeed for Mr. Hong San of the Bo Baron Mansion to marry the eldest daughter of Mr. Meng San of the Huainan Marquis Mansion. Well, I discussed it with your grandfather this afternoon and asked your third aunt for her opinion. We can't refuse this marriage. So, on the side of the first house, whether it's your mother or the fourth girl, it's up to you."

"Are you sure?" Wang's voice was a little hoarse as she held Su Qing's hand.

Su Qing nodded. Wang struggled to sit up and said to Mother Guo, "Go find some clothes for me. I want to go to Songhe Garden."

Su Qing held Wang's shoulder and said, "Mother, what are you going to do? If you go like this, you won't change anything. You will only make everyone laugh at you."

"A joke?" Wang looked up and frowned.

"That's right. At this point, I'm sure mother can guess what Fourth Sister did. First, it was the storybook, and then what she heard at the eldest sister's birthday party. This strengthened her confidence in meeting Mr. Hong. These two inducements are related to the third house, and now, Mr. Hong is asking to marry Meng Juan. What does this mean?"

"It means they had planned this long ago." Wang said softly.

"That's right. Although I'm not sure whether it was intentional when Fourth Sister first met Third Master Hong, the following events must have been planned in conjunction with the Third House."

Wang sat up straight. "Mr. Hong had Sister Qi meet her secretly in order to make her break off her engagement with Mr. Zhou Er. At that time, it seemed that Mr. Hong was helping Mrs. Hu. Now he is proposing marriage to Sister Juan. Could it be that Mrs. Liu is also helping Mrs. Hu?"

Su Qing nodded, "This matter is not simple. Meng Juan has been back to Kyoto for two years since her grandfather fell ill, and now they have just arranged their marriage, and it is to King Jing's brother-in-law. If it was really arranged a long time ago, then Third Uncle is too bold. Isn't he making his plan known to everyone?"

"So, Sister Qi has always been their pawn, and it was a trap set from the beginning. After Meng Hai came back, the Huainan Marquisate began to intentionally make friends with some people, while deliberately distancing themselves from some others. It seems that the Marquis knew all this."

Mother Guo looked at the mother and daughter analyzing the situation and suddenly said, "That's not right, Madam. If the Third Master was leaning towards Prince Jing, then why did he ask the Marquis to find a girl from his family and send her to Prince Cheng two years ago?"

Su Qing obviously didn't know about this and turned to look at Wang's puzzled expression.

Wang also remembered this incident. "That's right. I don't know the specific reason. I only know that after your grandmother came back from the Western House, she selected girls aged 11 or 12 from the clan. Later, it seems that she chose a girl from her family who lived in the south of the city. What was her name?"

Mother Guo frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Her name is Meng Zhi. I can't remember which family she belongs to."

The Meng family gave a little girl to King Cheng, but promised another girl to marry King Jing's brother-in-law. What does this mean? Playing two games with one foot?

Everyone knows that Prince Cheng and Prince Jing are the strongest contenders for that position. There is no benefit in doing this. Meng Changfeng must know this, but why would he agree?

Su Qing thought of a question, "Mother, why did the Meng family send the little girl to Prince Cheng's Mansion?"

After Wang and Guo's mother exchanged a glance, they whispered, "Prince Cheng likes little girls."

Huh? Su Qing asked in surprise, "How old is Prince Cheng?"

"Probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight."

"Mother, the important thing about Mr. Hong San's proposal is not that you go and ask for an explanation now."

"What's the important thing?"

"It's the fourth sister. She will definitely not be able to bear the news. Although everyone has advised her since the incident, she has always believed that it was her fault that Third Master Hong was implicated. Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid she will be unable to get over it."

"Has Sister Qi found out?" Wang asked Mother Guo nervously.

"No, after you fainted, the Fourth Miss came over, but was persuaded to go back by the Second Miss, who told her to wait until you woke up to tell her."

Wang heaved a sigh of relief. "That's right. Sister Qi must be very sad, not only about Mr. Hong San, but also about Meng Juan. You three houses, if you hadn't been stirring up trouble, there wouldn't be the situation today. You are really too bullying."

"So, let's not rush to discuss this matter. Mother has to show disdain in front of everyone, especially Aunt Three. As for what Uncle Three thinks, it's not our turn to worry about it. Grandfather promised that he would think about it."

"That's right. I shouldn't be so sensitive. I let Liu and Meng Juan laugh at us. I shouldn't be so angry. They may laugh at our eldest wife now. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Take your time. We have to make them pay for what they did today. I have to think about it carefully."

"Mother Guo, send someone to call my fourth sister over. Mother and I will tell her the story together."

"What are you going to say?" Wang pulled Su Qing's hand.

"I don't know. Mother also knows Fourth Sister's temper. She is determined that Third Master Hong will come to propose marriage. Last time you told her that Third Master Hong was discussing marriage, but it was not for her, she still didn't believe it. So, it's really hard to get her to stop being so stubborn and not do stupid things. But we have to appease her first."

After a while, Meng Qi hurried in. Seeing Wang was being helped by Su Qing to drink medicine, she quickly took the bowl and said, "Second sister, I'll do it. I'll feed mother."

Su Qing handed the bowl to her and watched Meng Qi blow the medicine carefully. She sighed in her heart, she is a good child, but she is too spoiled. To put it nicely, she is naive, and to put it bluntly, she is stupid.

"Sister Qi, mother has something to tell you."

Meng Qi put the bowl back on the table. "Mom, did I do something wrong? Is it because of me that you fainted this time?"

"No."

"Yes."

Meng Qi looked around at the two people who had given different answers.

Wang glanced at Su Qing and wanted to say something but kept her mouth shut.

"It's because of you." Su Qing said softly as she sat opposite Meng Qi.

"Ah? I didn't do anything."

"Today the official media came to propose marriage for my eldest sister."

"What? She finally found a husband? That's great. A few days ago, grandma was very unhappy and said that she hadn't engaged yet. If you get married before her next year, people in Beijing will gossip about you again."

"Yes, it shouldn't happen this time."

"Whose family did you choose, elder sister? Also, didn't you mention mother fainting? Why are you talking about her? I haven't been to her place recently. I went to the courtyard of the third sister to discuss embroidering a quilt for you with hundreds of children and grandchildren."

"That's because the one who proposed to my elder sister was Mr. Hong Sanye of the Hong family in Baron Bo's mansion." Su Qing looked into Meng Qi's eyes and spoke word by word.

Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "Who are you talking about?"
