The next day, the servants of the Huainan Marquis' Mansion were all talking about how the eldest lady's sedan chair had just arrived at the gate of the Hong family yesterday. Before it even entered the door, the bottom fell off, and Meng Juan fell out of the sedan chair, with even the veil torn off, and the apple in her hand rolled far away.

Wang listened to Mother Guo's vivid description and looked at Su Qing in disbelief. Su Qing listened with a smile on her face.

That’s right, this is how she designed Meng Juan.

When she was about to deal with Meng Juan, she thought of all the possibilities. As she said, she looked down on small fights and wanted to do something big so that Meng Juan would fall hard.

What could cause Meng Juan to stumble, cause Liu to be in pain, and affect Meng Hai's plan would be to make the Hong family dislike Meng Juan.

But considering everything Liu had prepared for Meng Juan, as well as Meng Juan's own efforts, and the fact that the Hong family was interested in making friends with the third branch of the Meng family, such a solution was really hard to find.

It's useless to create some trouble in her parents' home. Meng Juan is getting married soon and it won't affect what happens after she enters the Hong family.

It is unlikely that Su Qing could cause some trouble in the Hong family. Su Qing does not have the ability to reach into the inner quarters of the Hong family yet.

Then she is only halfway there, and this halfway point can only be Meng Juan's way to get married.

She knew that the ancients were very superstitious, especially on the wedding day. If some unexpected situations occurred, or situations that brought shame to the Hong family, Meng Juan would be directly hated by the Hong family. Even if she endured it at the time, her future life would not be easy.

Waiting for Zhou Yu to spread some rumors that Meng Juan and Hong Zhe are incompatible, she doesn't believe that Mrs. Hong has no knots in her heart, and Hong Zhe will be gentle and considerate to Meng Juan. Humph, this time I will let you taste the harm of spreading rumors about others.

After thinking for several nights, Su Qing decided to tamper with the sedan chair. But this was beyond her ability, so she met Zhou Yu in Jinming Hutong again and told him about this idea. Sure enough, this guy's eyes were as bright as a wolf in the dark night, and he kept praising her for coming up with such an idea, which was better than the one he had come up with.

Su Qing didn't know that Zhou Yu was also planning to do something bad at this wedding, and kept asking what it was, but Zhou Yu wouldn't say anything. He only said that his idea was not as good as hers, and that these two things together would be enough to make people in Beijing talk about it for a year or two, and then let's see how Meng Juan and even the Hong family would show off everywhere.

She came up with the idea, and it was Zhou Yu's job to take action.

Zhou Yu first arranged for someone to inquire about the bridal sedan of the Hong family that day. For such a wealthy family to get married, the bridal sedan was made on the spot, and the Hong family was no exception. In order to show their importance to Meng Juan, they specially hired a craftsman to make it.

After finding out who would make the sedan chair, Liuzi took action. He first spent money to build good relationships with the workers who assisted the big workers, treating them to wine, meat and tea. When the time was right, he recommended nails, iron hinges and other things from his shop to them, and promised the workers a reward, so they naturally recommended the goods to his superiors.

He didn't even investigate the situation of the shop or Liuzi.

After getting the samples, the craftsman also thought they were good and the price was fair. So, without the Hong family knowing, the ironware on the bride's sedan was all sent by the Wang family.

What others don't know is that those were specially developed by the big black guy. They couldn't be seen during the test, nor when the empty sedan was carried. But after carrying the person for a distance, those iron hinges would break.

That is to say, after Meng Juan walked around the east and south of the city and was delayed on the road for a while, when she was about to reach the Hong family, she felt something was wrong. The "squeaking" sound became louder and louder, and was accompanied by a feeling of falling down, as if the sedan chair could not hold her up. She even felt that the sedan chair would fall apart at any time.

Sure enough, before the happy couple could sing, Meng Juan fell heavily from under the bridal sedan as the firecrackers were lit.

Of course, the Hong family conducted a thorough investigation afterwards, but it was of no use. The craftsman refused to admit that it was his fault. After the sedan chair was made, you tested it and found that there was no problem carrying two buckets of water around the yard.

The small worker naturally didn't dare to tell Liuzi about it. Not to mention whether he could find Liuzi, even if he said a word, not only the Hong family but also the big workers would not forgive him. Moreover, Liuzi gave him so much money, which was enough for him to spend for a while.

In other words, even if the investigation leads to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu is not afraid. The Hong family has to accept this feeling whether they admit it or not.

And the next day, word spread in the capital that Meng Juan's horoscope was incompatible with the Hong family. First, when she got married, she ran into the people who carried the coffin, which was already bad luck for the Hong family.

Before she even entered the house, the bottom of the sedan chair fell off. This really brought shame to the Hong family, not to mention that in the eyes of some people, the falling bottom of the sedan chair was a curse on the host family.

Coincidentally, after hearing about this incident, the old lady of the Hong family was so angry that she had a heart attack. She was already old, and it would be strange if she didn't get sick after such a shock.

Now, Meng Juan, whose arms and legs were bruised and skinned, had not yet recovered from the fall, and the next day she knelt in front of Madam Hong to apologize.

As expected, Meng Juan did not return home for three days, because the old lady was ill and Meng Juan had to take care of her.

------

"Do you think it was Sister Wan who did it?" Wang asked Mother Guo.

"How is that possible? Even if the Second Miss wants to do it, she needs someone to do it. This is not an easy thing to arrange."

Wang nodded. "Who could it be? I don't believe what people say."

The rumor is now spreading like wildfire that Meng Juan shouldn't have married into the Hong family and that she angered the gods, which led to the two accidents on the wedding day.

That’s right, it cannot be said that everyone believes that this was an “accident”, but everyone is willing to believe that this was an “accident”.

Su Qing was not worried at all. Just like Zhou Yu said, even if she knew it was him who did it, what could she do? Just like at the beginning, when Hongzhe knew that it was Hongzhe who caused Meng Qi to do that, he told Meng Changfeng that Meng Qi was in his car and said without hesitation that Meng Qi wanted to run away with him.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have just seen Zhou Yu, and he bowed to Zhou Yu in a very embarrassed manner. Humph, I can't let one person suffer the loss.

"Don't worry about who it is, we just watch the fun. Isn't this just like what the second young lady said, God will take his own course and no one will be spared."

"This girl, why does she always say something weird? I've never heard of it before, but it makes so much sense."

"So, I think the second young lady is getting better and better. You don't have to worry about her marrying into the Prince's Mansion. Mr. Zhou Er and the fourth young lady don't get along well, but maybe he will get along well with the second young lady."

Wang nodded. "What else can we do? We must always look forward and move forward. Sister Qi, are you sure you can come back to celebrate my birthday?"

"Yes, didn't you hear it from Yuan Dong yourself?"

Wang smiled and said, "I just wanted to confirm it. This is really good."

------

Seeing Meng Qi hugging her arms and acting coquettishly, Wang felt her heart come alive again.

"The prince also brought you a gift. I'll ask Madam Guo to show it to you and see if you like it."

"How dare you trouble your Highness? I am already very happy that you are back."

Meng Qi sat up straight, "I have to thank my second sister for coming back."

"Me?" Su Qing pointed at his nose.

"Yes, when Yong'an Earl's son was chatting with Song?, he mentioned that my mother was going to have a birthday, and Mr. Zhou Er didn't know what gift to choose. Song? told the prince about this, and the prince came to ask when my mother's birthday was going to be, that's it."

Song? was the chief historian of the Prince Rui's Palace, and the one who was on good terms with Xu Cheng.

"You can't thank me, I thought if you told the prince, he would let you come back."

"That's different. You all know the trouble I caused last time. Later, because I didn't call the doctor in time, the second young master had a fever for two more days. Concubine Lin squatted at my door with her child in her arms and cried. I really didn't dare to tell the prince about it."

"Ah? What's going on? Yuandong didn't tell me last time he came back." Wang asked nervously, "Is the second young master okay?"

"It's alright, it's just Concubine Lin's way of winning favor. The Second Young Master was born to her elder sister, and she entered the palace because her elder sister asked the prince before she passed away, specifically to take care of the Second Young Master. I heard that she talked about the Second Young Master every other day, which led the prince to visit her every now and then. I only found out about this later, she still needs the Second Young Master, and she will never let him do anything."

Su Qing was not unfamiliar with this method of winning favor, having read so many novels and watched many such scenes in TV dramas.

"Amitabha, poor Second Young Master, he was taken advantage of by his own aunt at such a young age."

"That's nothing I can do. The prince doesn't care, so I can't say anything."

"That's true, but she is so calculating, you should stay away from her."

"Don't worry, mother. I have adapted to life in the palace now. I know what I am doing. As long as you are fine, I will be fine too."

"Everything is fake. The real thing is that you have to hurry up and get pregnant. No matter it's a boy or a girl, you must have a biological child to gain a foothold in the palace." Wang said earnestly.

Su Qing looked at Meng Qi's unnatural face, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Meng Qi and Prince Rui had not yet consummated their marriage? This was not a good thing for a woman, especially a noble woman.

Fortunately, although Prince Rui did not come this time, he promised to pick up Meng Qi later, which was already giving Meng Qi a lot of face.

Sitting in the west room with Su Qing, Meng Qi looked at the bright red wedding dress on the shelf and touched it gently, "Sister is better than me. She embroidered it so well."

"No, I just embroidered the cuffs." Su Qing said with a smile.

"I know. I didn't originally say that you embroidered all of this." Meng Qi turned her head and winked at Su Qing playfully, looking like the unmarried girl who was ignorant of the world again.

"Thank you, sister, for Meng Juan's matter."
