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

"Are you all ready?" Su Qing looked at Chuan'er, who was sweating all over.

"Yes, the Second Master asked me to tell the Second Miss that everything is done according to your wishes. Just wait and see."

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled. Although she didn't know what Wang Xiaoer was like when doing serious work, she knew that he could definitely do such unconventional things well.

Su Qing has been holding back on the fact that the Third House framed Meng Qi. Although the matter between Meng Qi and Hong Zhe cannot be entirely blamed on the Hong family and the Third House, after all, if someone sets a trap, the servants must be willing to fall into it.

But the Hong family repeatedly used Meng Qi to achieve their goals, whether it was against Zhou Yu, the Huainan Marquisate, or even bigger ideas, such as targeting Prince Rui. They and the third branch treated Meng Qi as a pawn in their hands, using her endlessly, and when they didn't need her anymore, they even used that damn thing to disgust her.

Although there is no direct evidence that it was done by the third room, and Meng Qi has never said what happened that day, or what she said to those maids, Su Qing believes that this matter must be arranged and arranged by the third room. If it goes wrong, even Meng Xiu, who led Meng Qi to talk, is involved. Otherwise, how could the third room be so eager to find a husband for Meng Xiu? This caused Liu Shi to not talk to Liu Shi for a long time.

But Su Qing didn't like to tickle people lightly. First, she didn't have time. Ever since Meng Qi got married, Wang hadn't had a comfortable day. Especially after Meng Qi was locked up in Hanyuan, Wang just lay down.

Second, she had no energy. Her main task was to deal with Prince Shen's Mansion together with Zhou Yu. So during this period of time, in addition to taking care of Wang, she put all her energy into understanding Prince Shen's Mansion and everything related to it.

The focus is on Hu's maiden family, concubine Li's maiden family, grandmother Xie's maiden family, and those who have a good relationship with Princess Shen and have close contacts with her.

Some of this information was collected by Zhou Yu, some was told to her by Wang, and some was obtained privately by Su Qing herself.

Su Qing, an outsider, had no good way to know other families' situations, especially such aristocratic families. She also thought about it when she was sold to the West House. In addition to the glamorous partners and close friends who often came and went, the only one who could frequently go in and out of such a wealthy family was the matchmaker.

Moreover, Su Qing believed that the secrets of some wealthy families were kept secret from the upper classes but not from the lower classes, just like when she was a maid in Qinyuan, she could hear the servants gossiping wherever she accompanied Meng Qi.

What about how Meng Shao never entered Jiang's room again after she had a miscarriage? What about how Liu complained to her mothers that Meng Hai's new daughter was very arrogant, and wrote to his daughter-in-law to keep a close eye on the contraceptive soup. What about what the young master didn't like to eat, what the young lady ate to get a stomachache, etc. Sometimes they even discussed who farted yesterday, and who picked their teeth with their fingers.

At that time, she just listened for fun, and wondered what kind of expression would be on these ladies with hair full of jewels and jades if they knew that the servants were talking like this?

But now, Su Qing decided to take advantage of this, the so-called long line to catch a big fish. After a period of hard work, he was able to get along with two people in Beijing who often went to rich families to buy and sell maids. At this time, the role of Liu Mama was revealed.

Since Su Qing became the second daughter of the Huainan Marquisate, Liu Mama's family has been well off. Gu Hai and Gu He both have good jobs, while Liu Mama no longer has to work in the mansion, but she receives the same monthly salary as Guo Mama.

When Mother Liu has nothing to do, she takes care of her grandchildren at home. Occasionally, Su Qing brings Cai'er and Shan Ling to visit.

When Wang was choosing a companion for her, Su Qing, after careful consideration and after consulting Wang, decided to let Gu He and Qin follow her to Zhou's house. Because Gu He was smart and had traveled extensively for so many years, it would be best to let him handle the outside affairs.

Although Qin was a little dull, she was serious and down-to-earth, and most importantly, loyal, which was very important to Su Qing. For a young lady like her who came late, it was almost too difficult to find someone as loyal as Mama Liu was to Meng Qi.

It is rare to have people like Chuan'er and Cai'er around me now. As for Dongmei, Shanling and Kong's mother, they are all in the process of getting along with each other. It will take time to test their loyalty.

Mother Liu was originally a smart and intelligent person. She knew that her family now lived a good life thanks to Su Qing, so she did her best in everything Su Qing assigned her.

When Su Qing asked her to establish a good relationship with the matchmaker who specialized in selling servants to wealthy families, although Mother Liu didn't know what Su Qing was going to do, she still went from street to street.

She actually made friends with two people, one was a fellow villager, and the other, Gu He, had caused an accident. Mother Liu helped that person, and they became frequent friends from then on.

Su Qing helped Wang into the courtyard of the third room. This was Su Qing's first time here. The house built by the water was the coolest in the summer.

The Hong family's betrothal gifts were laid out in the yard. Seeing them come in, the maid from the third room pretended to be unintentional but said loudly, "Oh, our eldest daughter's betrothal gift is more than that of the fourth daughter, and the fourth daughter is marrying into the royal palace." Then she pretended to have said something wrong and stood there with her shoulders crossed, but a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Wang Shi had been persuaded by Su Qing to be much better during this period. In addition, although Meng Qi could not come back, Liu Mama came back several times, which proved that Meng Qi was not living too badly in the Wang Mansion. So she calmed down and prepared a dowry for Su Qing.

Liu stood at the door and lifted the veil herself. "If you are not feeling well, don't come over. I will ask Sister Juan to pay her respects to you tomorrow morning."

"How can I let the bride run to my place? Besides, it's only a few steps away. She can still bring another box." Wang ignored Liu's outstretched hand and went into the house.

Meng Juan and Meng Xiu bowed and greeted Wang, while the maids were busy pouring tea and serving fruit.

Wang sat down at the head of the table and motioned to Madam Guo to hand a box to Meng Juan. "I don't know if you like it or not. It's an old item."

Meng Juan took it with a smile on her face, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. There is no bad thing given by the elders. Naturally, they picked the best ones for us."

Liu looked at the exquisite box, her eyes moving more and more lively, "Open it quickly and take a look. I heard that everything your aunt has is a treasure."

Although Liu said this, she was disdainful in her heart. No matter how good it was, it would not be enough to only spend money without earning anything. Meng Yuan could not get back a penny. Wang had lost her power as a housekeeper. Even if the dowry was generous, it would be enough for two sons and two daughters. The most important thing was that her family had lost power and there was no one to help her. How could she get any good things?

The reason why I said this is to let the younger generations see. If what they give is just average or not presentable, I will have something to say later.

Meng Juan gently opened the box, and saw a phoenix-shaped hairpin inside. The phoenix's feathers were adorned with gems. As Meng Juan held it in her hand, the feathers swayed gently, and the gems on them emitted colorful warm light.

Liu obviously didn't expect Wang to give Meng Juan such a generous gift. "Sister-in-law, how can we do this? It's too expensive. Let's keep it for Sister Wan."

Wang smiled slightly, "Sister Wan has her own, and this is a gift from me to Sister Juan. Just now I said it was an old item, so it should actually be cleaned in the Jinlou, but if you do that it would be disrespectful to the old people."

Liu and Meng Juan looked puzzled.

"This is Sister Min, the late Princess of the Prince of Shen's Mansion, and the birthday gift given to me by Mr. Zhou Er's biological mother. She got it from the late Empress Dowager. I heard that they were originally a pair, tribute from foreign countries. The current emperor liked them very much after receiving them, and gave one to the late Queen and the other to the late Empress Dowager."

"It's so precious, we can't accept it." Upon hearing this, Liu hurriedly took the box and returned it to Wang.

Su Qing was thinking about what Wang had just said. It turned out that Zhou Yu's great-aunt gave it to Zhou Yu's mother, and Zhou Yu's mother gave it to Wang. And there were only two of them. It was really precious. But why did Wang give it to Meng Juan? She knew what role the third room played in the whole Meng Qi incident.

And from beginning to end, Wang never told her what she would give to Meng Juan to add to the box.

"I gave it to Sister Juan because it's so precious. To be honest, I have selfish motives. Sister Qi has been married to the palace for so long, and everyone can guess what her situation is like. I am so anxious but there is nothing I can do. I even want to find out everything but I have no way to do it. I just think that Sister Juan is married to the Hong family, which is the maiden family of Princess Jing after all. If I can say a few good words for Sister Qi in front of Princess Jing, or find out more about Sister Qi's performance in the palace and tell me a thing or two, I can sleep peacefully."

Liu and Meng Juan looked at each other. So that's what happened. Some time ago, Meng Qi angered the Queen because Princess Jing spoke disrespectfully to the Crown Princess. As a result, Princess Lian locked Meng Qi up in Hanyuan for a month. It was said that Meng Qi was carried out by someone.

Wang is such a fool, it seems Meng Qi has taken after her. Her daughter ended up like this, but she didn't investigate the reason. Instead, she thought of such a way to please them. Haha, it's really interesting.
