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

Chuan'er glanced at the old woman following behind her and found that it was the person in charge of the yard just now. She was indeed here for the second young lady.

Chuan'er smiled brightly at her and began to untie his cloak.

The housekeeper was startled by Chuan'er's smile. According to the prior instructions, this matter was a foregone conclusion. They only asked these maids and old women to go through the motions to save face for the Huainan Marquis's Mansion. But why did this girl seem not worried at all?

Thinking that he had been staring at the second young lady, watching her stuff the things into the girl's hands under the cover of a handkerchief, from that moment on, his eyes had never left the girl, and it was impossible for her to throw it away or anything.

But looking at her now, she doesn't care at all. Could it be that she has a way to deal with it?

But no matter what she thought, the old woman did not dare to be careless at all. She placed the clothes that Chuan'er had taken off one by one on the rack beside her, and carefully touched them from top to bottom. When Chuan'er was left with only his underwear, the housekeeper's face was already covered with sweat.

Chuan'er stood there with his hands outstretched and said to her, "If you take it off any more, there will be nothing left. Do you want to come up and touch me carefully, or do you want me to take off this too?"

Chuan'er's underwear was the same as Su Qing's. At first, she was extremely curious because she saw that Su Qing wore it differently from them. Su Qing told her the advantages of dressing like that, such as not revealing the private parts and not sagging. She blushed and cut two pieces. She said they were really good and she got used to them after a while.

Especially since Su Qing became the second young lady, she was solely responsible for those small clothes. When making them for Su Qing, she would directly cut a few pieces for herself.

The housekeeper looked at Chuan'er's very strange underwear but had no time to be shocked. She just stood there blankly holding the underwear that Chuan'er finally handed to her.

"Mother, if it's nothing, please give me back my underwear. It's not warm today."

The old woman handed the clothes to Chuan'er woodenly, and then touched the clothes on the rack from top to bottom again, her face full of doubts. At this time, people outside had reported back one after another, so she didn't dare to delay and pulled the curtain to go out.

Everyone saw that the old woman finally walked out. They had just said that she had not found the person, so now all eyes were focused on her.

Su Qing was also nervously holding the handkerchief in her hand, and Meng Qi was shaking a little as she held her hand. When Su Qing taught her to say those words just now, she knew that this was a trap set by the Hong family for their Meng family.

"My dear Madam, all the nobles, the maidservant of the second young lady of the Huainan Marquis's Mansion has nothing on her."

"How is that possible?" Xie Fen realized that he had said something wrong and quickly added, "You should have checked carefully, including the sleeve seams and trouser legs. The jade pendant is not big, and it would be difficult to be discovered if you just put it anywhere."

Meng Qi felt furious when she heard this. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw Chuan'er walk out around the screen and kneel on the ground. "I never thought that something like this would happen today. I originally thought that Baron Bo's Mansion was a big family in Beijing, and it was also the maternal family of Princess Jing. Although I have never heard of being searched when visiting someone else's house, I endured it in order to prevent the Marquis' Mansion from being misunderstood.

"When I was putting on my clothes just now, I heard everyone report that the search did not turn up anything. I did not hear what Grandma Zhou said. She just asked me why the search did not turn up anything.

"May I ask, Grandma Zhou, did you know you were going to lose the jade pendant before I came? So you sewed a pocket on your clothes to put it in? Or did you not find it on the person you wanted to find, so you had to find someone else?"

After Chuan'er finished speaking, he looked at Xie Fen steadily. No one expected that a maid would speak to her master like this.

"How dare you, a servant, speak to our grandmother like that? Why don't you slap her in the face?" The one named Liu Ling shouted.

Before anyone else could say anything, there was a "pop" sound, and Liu Ling covered her mouth and looked at the angry Meng Qi.

"You are so bold. You, a servant of the Zhou family, actually dare to question the Huainan Marquis Mansion. Who gave you the courage? The master didn't say anything, but you, a servant, actually lied."

Before everyone could react, Su Qing's tears welled up in her eyes. She walked to Madam Hong and bowed gently, "I'm sorry for disturbing you today and ruining your mood. Now that my girl is proven innocent, can we go now?"

Then she turned to Xie Fen and said, "Grandma Zhou, I'm sorry. My fourth sister just couldn't hold back her anger. This girl actually dared to speak for you. She got anxious and helped you educate her. I think Grandma will not blame my fourth sister."

"Aunt, I never expected something like this to happen in my eldest sister's husband's family. If it has any impact on my eldest sister's future life, that was not my original intention."

Liu looked at Su Qing, who was at a loss, but her words were full of thorns. She was extremely angry, but could not show it. She was the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, and Xie Fen's words just now were indeed excessive, especially since she had not said it to anyone else and only questioned Meng Wan's maid.

"Hahaha, I said I came at the right time. It was indeed a good show. It was really refreshing. Come on, you guys take your time to sort out this mess. I have to go back and tell our princess. She will definitely be happy."

The woman just now stood up, took the hand of the nanny beside her and walked out. Mrs. Hong and everyone else quickly stood up and followed behind.

"No need, no need. I'm not a real princess, so I dare not trouble you. Just deal with your own affairs. It's just that Grandma Zhou didn't achieve what she wished today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it when I go back." She had a gloating expression.

He walked past Liu and stopped, looking her up and down with his eyes slanted. "You are brave to marry your daughter to the Hong family. What a pity... You should go back to the furnace, otherwise you won't know how you were eaten."

Liu looked at her with a pale face as she walked towards Su Qing.

Su Qing looked at the flamboyant, mature woman approaching and wanted to avoid her, but she approached him and said, "You are good. I am optimistic about you. Remember, my name is Meng Zhi."

Su Qing raised her head suddenly. Meng Zhi? The girl from Meng Hai's family that Meng Changfeng asked to give to King Cheng was said to be only eleven years old when she was given there. So she is thirteen years old this year?

Watching everyone leave one after another, Su Qing didn't understand why Liu didn't take them away, while Meng Qi sat there looking out the window bored.

The snow has not stopped today, sometimes it's heavy, sometimes it's light, and now it's starting to get heavy again.

Mrs. Hong handed the cloak to the maid and stepped forward with a smile, "I'm sorry, dear in-law, for making you wait. There are some things I need to discuss about the marriage of our two children. I have already asked you today, so I don't need to bother you again."

"It's nothing. Mrs. Hong has married a daughter-in-law before, and has married a daughter before. She has experience. Unlike me, this is my first time marrying a daughter, and I'm really worried about what I'm doing wrong."

Liu took the tea handed to her by Mrs. Hong and was about to speak when she noticed that the girls from the Meng family were all looking at her, especially Meng Juan, who had been keeping her head down and not speaking since Mrs. Hong had sent everyone in.

Mrs. Hong smiled and asked her second daughter-in-law to take the young ladies of the Meng family to the warm room in the backyard to appreciate the flowers.

Su Qing really didn't want to go. She just wanted to go home immediately and ask Meng Zhi what was going on.

But they were all brought by Liu. Liu wanted to discuss Meng Juan's marriage with Mrs. Hong, so it was impossible for her to make arrangements and leave first.

Meng Qi followed Su Qing out. What happened at the Hong family today, as well as the performance of Mrs. Hong and the two young ladies, made her suddenly feel relieved.

Looking at Meng Juan walking in front and chatting and laughing with Second Grandma Hong, Meng Qi thought for the first time that maybe she was right not to marry Hong Zhe. Just looking at the complicated situation of the Hong family, even the marriage of their own granddaughter could cause so many troubles. Meng Juan would have to suffer in the future.

Thinking of this, Meng Qi felt relieved. Although she didn't let it go completely, she didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Just as they reached the warm room, before the maid opened the door, it was pushed open from the inside, and two boys, about five or six years old, ran out laughing, their hands covered in mud.

Grandma Hong quickly stepped forward and pulled the younger one over. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the mud off the boy's hands. She turned her head and said, "It's the second son from my family and my eldest sister-in-law's family. Did you two go and turn over the soil of Grandma's flowers again?"

"It wasn't me, my brother brought me here."

The younger one pushed the older one as he spoke. The older one was standing at the edge of the stairs, and he fell down the stairs. Meng Qi happened to be standing next to them, and the boy's hands suddenly grabbed Meng Qi's dress, leaving two big mud marks.
