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

What no one expected was that Prince Cheng, the elder brother of Prince Rui, actually brought Meng Zhi to the Huainan Marquis's Mansion, on the pretext of accompanying Meng Zhi to marry his elder sister from the same clan.

Prince Cheng looked at the people in Huainan Marquis' Mansion kneeling on the ground, and sat at the head of the main seat with a big sword and a golden horse, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up, Zhi'er is a member of your Meng family. Today, I will use her light to become a member of the Meng family. Is it not too much?"

Meng Changfeng took the lead and stood up, bowing respectfully, "It is a great honor for the Huainan Marquis' Mansion to have the prince's visit. The Meng family welcomes the prince."

Prince Cheng nodded, looked at Meng Hai who was standing behind Meng Changfeng and asked, "I heard that Mr. Meng San came back yesterday?"

Meng Hai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I dare not, I dare not. I came back yesterday afternoon and have already reported to the Ministry of War. Lord Lu meant that after sending off his niece for marriage today, he will arrange for me to meet His Majesty in two days."

"Well, the battles you fought in the first month of the year were really great. Father was very satisfied. It seems that Third Master Meng's position will be further promoted, haha."

Meng Hai bent his waist even deeper, "I have never forgotten your promotion and guidance, Your Majesty, and I will never forget your kindness."

Prince Cheng was very satisfied with Meng Hai's attitude. He waved his hand, turned his head to look at Meng Zhi, and smiled at Song, "Zhi'er, you are back to your parents' home. You two can have a good chat."

When Meng Zhi heard Prince Cheng mention her, she stepped forward, bowed to Meng Changfeng and Song, and spoke polite words, looking very playful and cute.

Song looked at Meng Zhi's flamboyant smile and felt her brain throbbing. She smiled and walked forward, "Good girl, it's a relief for you to come. Today you are also back to your mother's home, so you don't have to be restrained and don't be so formal."

"Yes, Your Majesty, thanks to the old lady, I have the opportunity to serve Your Majesty." Meng Zhi turned around to look at Prince Cheng, like a daughter acting coquettishly to her father.

Su Qing looked at the King of Cheng carefully. He was a gentle and fair-skinned man. If he were in modern times and put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he would look like a university professor. But knowing what this scumbag had done, Su Qing now felt disgusted, extremely disgusted.

Xie Changfeng smiled behind Prince Cheng and said, "Please sit outside for a while, Your Majesty. I'm sure the Third Brother has a lot to say to you."

Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng stood up, walked past Meng Changfeng and went out first. The men of the Meng family hurriedly followed.

Su Qing tugged at Wang's sleeve, signaling her to look at Meng Zhi. Wang looked at Song, who was still staring at Prince Cheng's departing figure, and turned to Meng Zhi and smiled, "It's hard for the concubine to think of sending Sister Qi off, and even trouble Prince Cheng to come in person. It's really an honor for the Huainan Marquis's Mansion."

When Song heard Wang say this, she turned around and tried to hold Meng Zhi's hand. Just as she stretched out her hands, Meng Zhi pulled Su Qing over and said, "Second Miss, can you take me to see the bride?"

Song's outstretched hands froze there, and she smiled awkwardly, "Sister Wan, come with me."

Meng Juan felt Liu gently push her and hurried forward, "I will go with my two sisters."

Meng Zhi wiped her red lips and said, "No need to trouble the young lady." After that, she pulled Su Qing and walked out. When she reached the door, she looked at the curtain opened by the maid, turned around and smiled at Meng Juan, "You don't know? I heard that a while ago, the Hong family was cleaning up the courtyard for Mr. Hong San's wedding. The craftsmen were carrying wood to redecorate the west room. Unexpectedly, the wood rolled down and broke the leg of a craftsman. It is said that the blood flowed all over the courtyard and it couldn't be cleaned up for several days. After the young lady gets married, she should go to the west room less often, and don't let anything go wrong." After that, she walked out amid Meng Juan's surprise and Liu's anger.

Su Qing walked behind Meng Zhi. She wanted to see what expressions the Liu mother and daughter had. Unfortunately, only the Meng family members were welcoming Prince Cheng, and there were no women from other mansions in the room, otherwise it would have been more exciting.

Meng Zhi was still wearing a bright red dress, not hiding the fact that she was here to send off her sister. She had a head full of pearls and jade, which made her look like Song. She dressed herself more maturely than Jiang at a young age.

Thinking about Prince Cheng's hobby, Su Qing could understand Meng Zhi, and her pity for this little girl deepened.

Su Qing recalled what he had learned about Meng Zhi's background after she helped him last time.

Meng Zhi was a branch of the Meng family. He had an older brother and a younger brother. They lived near Xiushui Manor outside the city. The family was fairly well-off, with fields and land, and maids and old women serving them. Moreover, Meng Zhi's younger brother was very smart and had passed the Tongsheng examination at a young age. The whole family hoped that this younger brother would earn a good reputation and bring honor to the family.

Meng Zhi has been beautiful since she was young. She stands out not only in her branch clan but also in her own family.

When Meng Changfeng followed Meng Hai's advice and wanted to find a daughter of the Meng family to send to King Cheng, he was really troubled.

There were not many young girls in the family, and the few that were not good-looking, so it was hard to give them away. Later, it was the wife of the head of the branch of Meng Zhi and Song who proposed this Meng Zhi, who met the standards in terms of age and appearance.

After Mother Wu went there in person, she came back nodding repeatedly and sent Meng Zhi, who was only eleven years old at the time, to Prince Cheng's palace to become a concubine of Prince Cheng, who was already twenty-six years old.

But these are not the point. The point is that Meng Zhi's family refused to obey at that time, and Meng Zhi's father even refused in front of Meng Changfeng with a dagger in his hand.

But for the Meng family branch whose entire clan depends on the Huainan Marquis Mansion, being chosen by the Huainan Marquis Mansion for a girl means that the Huainan Marquis Mansion thinks highly of them. How could they allow Meng Zhi's father to stop it?

As a result, in a panic, Meng Zhi's father accidentally stabbed himself in the abdomen with a dagger. Although he survived at the time, he became depressed because Meng Zhi was forced to enter Prince Cheng's Palace, and he died within a year.

The reason why Meng Zhi was pushed out was that the wife of the head of the side branch had a crush on Meng Zhi and wanted to marry her to her nephew, but Meng Zhi's family looked down on her nephew, so Meng Zhi got engaged to someone else. The wife held a grudge and when she heard that the Huainan Marquis's Mansion was looking for such a girl, she recommended Meng Zhi without hesitation.

When Meng Zhi first entered the palace, Prince Cheng really liked her for a while. But less than half a year later, Princess Cheng found a younger girl for Prince Cheng who was raised in a brothel. Since this girl entered the palace, Prince Cheng almost forgot about all his other women and only favored her every night.

The newcomer to the palace was also a short-sighted person. After a while, he took advantage of the favor and became arrogant. Sometimes he even dared to talk back to the concubine who was on the jade plate.

One time, she met the little princess born to the concubine of Prince Cheng on a side street, but she refused to give way and forced the princess to give way to her. The princess refused to give way, and the two of them refused to give way. Unexpectedly, she went up and knocked the princess down, but refused to help her, and walked away without apologizing.

After this incident, all the concubines and illegitimate wives around Prince Cheng, including some female officials in service, knelt down and asked Prince Cheng to decide their fate. Prince Cheng had no choice but to send this woman to the manor.

Since then, although Meng Zhi did not regain the glory she had when she first entered the palace, Prince Cheng still went there every now and then. However, after her menstruation came this year, she stopped going there. However, since that incident, Meng Zhi became closer and closer to the concubine.

"For what happened last time, I've been wanting to find an opportunity to thank you in person. Thank you for helping me out." Su Qing said softly.

"Even if I'm not here, I think you'll find a solution. You're very smart." Meng Zhi turned to look at her. She was obviously younger than herself, but the tone and expression of her voice sounded as if she had experienced a lot of changes in the world.

"I have never experienced such a thing. I never thought that the Hong family would cater to the Prince's Mansion and do such a thing in such an occasion."

"So, your good third uncle has a good plan. Only our prince doesn't think according to common sense, haha."

Su Qingshi didn't expect Meng Zhi to talk to her about this. According to what she said, could it be that Meng Zhi also saw that Meng Hai was not really on King Cheng's side?

"Well, then..."

"I can't." Meng Zhi blinked at Su Qing and continued walking forward.

"You know what I'm going to say?"

"You are simply asking me whether I will remind Prince Cheng to pay attention to Meng Hai or be on guard against Meng Hai. Oh, I won't tell you. First, you don't understand the prince's temper. Sometimes when he sets his mind on something, he will hit a wall and he will complain that the wall is blocking him. Second, no matter how Meng Hai tries, the result will be the same, that is, he will destroy the Huainan Marquisate. This is what I want to see."

Su Qing understood that Meng Zhi hated Meng Changfeng, Meng Hai, and even everyone in Huainan Marquis's Mansion. Even for her own sake, she didn't want to see Meng Hai achieve his goal by relying on King Cheng's power.

Seeing that Su Qing didn't say anything else, Meng Zhi stopped and looked up at Su Qing, who was half a head taller than her. "Are you wondering why I have to tell you so much, and why I should help you?"
