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

"So, Meng Qi is very different from before?" Zhou Yu handed the hand warmer filled with charcoal to Su Qing.

"Well, at first, he seemed to be frightened and stupid. He looked at everything with a look of surprise and confusion. He shook his head no matter what I asked him. When he saw his mother, he would hug her and cry. No matter how I comforted him, it wouldn't work. Then he just slept. He slept for more than half of the day. When he woke up, he would look for his mother, no one else could help him."

"It seems that this is a serious fright."

"That's right. It was freezing cold, and she fell headfirst. Even though it wasn't for long, anyone would have been scared to death. She was so young. It's really abominable. The third room is too cruel. They actually did such a thing to ruin Sister Qi's reputation. I must find a chance to make things difficult for them."

Zhou Yu looked at Su Qing's indignant expression and felt it was so vivid.

He was really surprised when Meng Wei appeared in front of him that day. Then, looking at Su Qing's personal maid named Chuan'er following behind her, his first reaction was that something had happened to Su Qing?

From their last conversation, he knew that Su Qing thought much more highly of Meng Wei than Meng Shao and was relatively closer to him, so he very politely and considerately invited Meng Wei to the backyard of the iron shop.

Meng Wei was not used to Zhou Yu, who was so polite and behaved like a young master from an aristocratic family. Because Zhou Yu was engaged to Meng Qi at that time, even if he did not take the initiative to meet, Zhou Yu would always come to Meng Qi's house during the festivals every year. Moreover, there were many opportunities for them to meet no matter what happened between the two families.

But every time we met, this second young master always looked rebellious and arrogant. He had never been like this before.

But no matter what, from Zhou Yu's attitude towards him, it can be seen that he should be satisfied with Sister Wan. It seems that what his mother said is right. It's a matter of aura between people. I have been engaged to Sister Qi for so long, but she always looks bitter and resentful. This is not fate.

In fact, according to Meng Wei's own thoughts, there is no need to ask Zhou Yu for this matter. He also has good classmates in the Imperial College, and they are all sons of aristocratic families. It is also okay to ask them for help.

Sister Wan said that her classmates were all studying hard in school, and even if she told them about this matter, whether they believed it or not was one thing, and whether it could be spread was another.

For such matters, it would be better to ask Mr. Zhou Er, who is a master at playing and knows a lot of young men who are not afraid of causing trouble. When they spread news or justify something, their power and credibility are much stronger than those good students.

Meng Wei had to admit that Meng Wan's idea was correct.

Zhou Yu obviously hadn't heard the news yet. After Meng Wei finished speaking, he asked twice, then nodded and said he understood.

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't tell him what to do, Meng Wei didn't ask any more questions and stood up to say goodbye.

Chuan'er followed behind and whispered to Zhou Yu that Su Qing wanted to meet him in Jinming Hutong tomorrow, and wondered if it was convenient for him.

Convenient, how can it be inconvenient, hehe.

"Of course. Meng Qi has suffered so much from the Meng Hai family, so they should pay it back. But we can't be impatient. We don't need to make a small fuss. That would be too boring. If we are going to do something, we should do it in a big way, so that they will suffer a lot and lose face as much as possible."

Su Qing looked at Zhou Yu's smirk and pursed her lips and said, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"No, not yet. There's no rush. Meng Qi is in this state. You can't find out what happened that day."

"That's right. Mother and I were both very worried. When we asked her what happened that day, she just shook her head and said she didn't know anything. She didn't even remember going to the ice. She couldn't even remember how Lixia and Suxin came to serve them. Mother was so scared that she cried again and again. You know about my mother's illness. I was really worried that she couldn't bear it."

"Apart from these, is everything else okay, Meng Qi? I mean, physically?"

"No, after I woke up, the doctor came again and said that I was fine and that I would be fine as long as I took good care of myself. But I don't know what's wrong with my brain now, and I can't remember anything that happened in the past period of time."

In fact, Su Qing did think that Meng Qi might have intermittent amnesia. Her brain automatically blocked out any past events that she didn't want to face or that had hurt her.

"Besides, she didn't even recognize me."

"Ah? What's going on?" Zhou Yu stopped pouring tea, looking surprised.

"She looked at me and called me mother, and kept asking who I was. My mother tried to explain to her, but she looked incredulous and kept mumbling to herself, saying something that no one could understand. My grandmother said that she might be possessed by something, and if she doesn't get better in the next two days, we'll have to ask Master Fang Zhi to take a look."

"It's hard to say. You know, that kind of pool is full of all kinds of messy things."

Su Qing wanted to say that he was superstitious, but then he thought that some things were really inexplicable, such as how he ended up here. Therefore, people should still have a sense of awe.

"Let's not talk about the fourth sister. Although she was frightened, she will recover slowly. How about the matter that troubled you?"

"You don't actually want me to stop the rumor, right?" Zhou Yu said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"What is it if it's not this?"

"You want Prince Rui to not misunderstand Meng Qi, right?"

Su Qing looked at the monkey-like guy and couldn't help thinking that if the two of them lived together in the future, they would either be in love and harmonious, or suspicious of each other and deceitful. Of course, Su Qing was confident that they would be the former.

"How are you so smart? Did you know that this is what I meant when you saw the string?"

Zhou Yu was very pleased with Su Qing's undisguised praise; he even saw admiration in Su Qing's eyes.

"Prince Rui is not stupid. From the time he was engaged to the rumors about Meng Qi, he has his own rules. But he is a man after all. The incident with Hongzhe was a big deal in the capital, and now something like this has happened again. The news came from your mansion, so it is more credible. Therefore, it is impossible for him to have no grudges in his heart. There will always be idle people who gossip when he comes in and out.

"Just don't worry about one thing. Prince Rui is a broad-minded person. As for the future, it depends on Meng Qi's performance. I think nothing else is important for your family right now. Let her learn how to get along with Prince Rui first. Don't let the Hong family or your third branch use her again, otherwise she will be really stupid."

Su Qing listened to what Zhou Yu said, just blinking and looking at him without saying anything.

Zhou Yu was frightened by her staring at him, "Hey, I know your husband is handsome and suave, and when we get married, you can look at him every day. But you do everything without blinking an eye, are you so fascinated by me?"

“Are you the wall?”

"What do you mean?"

"Your face is thicker than the city wall."

"That's a good analogy. It's better to have a thick skin than a thin one. I hate grown men who blush at a single word. Hey, how do you describe the skin of a man like that? Should we say it's thinner than cotton?"

Su Qing chuckled, "Don't interrupt me, tell me, how do you know King Rui so well?"

Zhou Yu looked at Su Qing and wondered how this girl was so smart. In a long sentence, she could always find something different from others.

"It's my brother-in-law. He knows the chief historian of the Rui Palace, and they have a good relationship. When your third brother came to explain the situation that day, I knew that the Rui Palace was the focus, so I asked my brother-in-law to explain the matter to the Rui Palace. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any big problems. As I said, I will always feel uncomfortable, but let's see how Meng Qi behaves in the future."

"Actually, things are not that simple." Su Qing gently turned over the chestnuts that were roasting on the stove next to him.

"how?"

"Last time, the fourth sister went to the Hong family to attend the eldest lady's..."

"What did you say? She, she jumped out of the window to chase Hong Zhe?" Zhou Yu couldn't believe it. "What was she thinking? What was so good about Hong Zhe that made her so obsessed? If that's the case, I think it's better for you not to marry Prince Rui. Go back and tell your grandfather to find a way to cancel the marriage. It's better than letting her implicate your whole family in the future."
