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

Meng Wan slept soundly. She originally thought that Zhou Yu would torment her again, but Zhou Yu hugged her and made arrangements for tomorrow's affairs. He also told her about the situation of the servants in the palace that he knew.

Of course, what Zhou Yu knew was limited. For a family as complicated as the Wang Mansion, one should never trust appearances.

Although Hu was the princess and had absolute power in the inner palace, she also held everything in her hands. Would the concubines, concubines, and aunts, including Xie Fen, be willing to be ordered around by her?

Therefore, there will always be people who are jealous of the princess, and they need to be discovered slowly.

Although Zhou Yu did not make trouble for her, he held her tightly all night, especially his hand never left her place, making her sweat all over, and she wanted to take a shower when she woke up in the morning.

Dongmei found out about the princess's daily schedule yesterday. Although Meng Wan hated this evil system of paying respects, there was nothing he could do about it.

When she first came to Wang's side, since they lived in the same house, there was no question of paying her respects.

And because of her incident, Wang had always held a grudge against Song. She used her poor health as an excuse to rarely visit Song, and Meng Wan was happy and at ease.

But things are different now. In order to prevent Hu from finding any evidence against her, she has to abide by all the rules that the aristocratic families require of their daughters-in-law.

Normally, after paying respects every day, Meng Wan would serve Hu Shi breakfast, and then go back to her own courtyard to eat when there was nothing else to do. She was absolutely sure that Hu Shi would not let her back to eat breakfast easily. However, today was the third day of her return, so it was certain that Hu Shi would make things difficult for her, but it would not last too long.

When Zhou Yu came out of the shower, he saw two bowls of steaming noodles on the table.

Although it is just the beginning of autumn and it is the dry season, it is still very comfortable to get up early and eat a bowl of hot food.

"I don't know what your previous habits were, but you still have to eat well when you get up early, and eat something hot to warm your stomach." Meng Wan handed the chopsticks to Zhou Yu and said softly.

Zhou Yu had almost never eaten breakfast this early, but he decided to follow Meng Wan's habit. The couple finished two bowls of shredded chicken noodles.

"I thought that she wouldn't be too pushy when we go back home today. Can you do it by yourself?" Zhou Yu stood up and let Meng Wan hang up his purse.

"Don't worry, didn't we agree yesterday that if you don't go with me, it means you're still angry. I can handle it. At worst, I can just keep quiet."

Zhou Yu nodded, reached out his hand to lift Meng Wan's chin, wanted to say something but shook his head again, kissed Meng Wan on the lips and walked out.

Meng Wan winked at Chuan'er, who quickly followed him out, jogging a few steps to catch up with Zhou Yu, and asked in a voice that everyone else in the yard could hear, "Second Master, aren't you going to accompany Second Madam to pay her respects?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said unhappily, "Doesn't she know the way? You guys hurry up, we still have to go back home." After that, he looked around the people in the yard, pointed at a tall man of average appearance who looked very steady, and said, "He Wen, lead the way for Second Madam."

He Wen hurriedly stepped forward and said yes, watching Zhou Yu walk out of the courtyard, then turned to the frustrated Chuan'er and said, "You are Chuan'er's sister, right? I am the second-in-command of the Second Master, and my name is He Wen. Is the Second Madam ready? If we go now, I will ask them to bring a sedan chair over."

Chuan'er looked up and down at Hewen, who had a smiling but not flattering face. There were two big maids in Qinghe Garden, Chuntao and Luliu. Two second-class maids, one was called Hewen and the other was Wanxia. The rest were third-class maids, those who had no head left, and rough maids.

Except for Chuntao and Luliu, no one knows the situation of the people in the yard. It will take time to find out.

"Good sister, thank you for your help." Chuan'er said with a smile while holding Hewen's hand.

The group walked to the door of the main house in Junyueju, and the little girl lifted the door curtain with a smile.

Meng Wan took Dongmei's hand and walked into the main hall. Xie Fen walked around the screen to greet them. "Oh, just now mother was still muttering that my second brother and his wife were not familiar with this place and should have walked to another courtyard. She also complained that she should have sent someone to lead the way earlier."

Xie Fen smiled and reached out to pull Meng Wan. Meng Wan looked embarrassed and lowered his head, letting Xie Fen pull him forward.

They entered the outer room of Hu's daily living room. Meng Wan looked up and saw a long table next to the low couch where Hu was sitting. On the left side of the long table was a foot-high rosewood-based mutton-fat jade Buddha's hand, and on the right side was a Ru kiln sky blue glazed flower vase.

Looking east, there is a treasure pavilion, on which are placed various objects that cannot be named, such as gold, jade, and celadon. Behind the treasure pavilion, there is a chaise longue.

Hearing Meng Wan's greeting, everyone began to greet each other.

When Mrs. Hu heard Meng Wan calling her "Princess" this time, she felt happy. It seemed that Zhou Yu must have taught her a lesson yesterday.

Hu didn't care what Meng Wan called her at all. As long as it could drive the couple apart, that was what she wanted to see.

Mrs. Hu looked at Meng Wan as if she were looking at kittens and puppies in a zoo, with an uncomfortable smile on her face.

"Second sister-in-law changes every day." Zhou Yingning stood up from the table next to her and said with a smile.

"Mother, you should also be considerate of the eldest sister-in-law. Ever since she came into our house, she has been waiting outside the corridor early every day, even when she was pregnant with Hong. Why did the rules change after the second sister-in-law came into our house? Why didn't you let me know earlier when she changed it, so that I could sleep a little longer."

Meng Wan raised her head and looked at Zhou Yingning in confusion.

Zhou Yingning looked at Meng Wan who looked like she didn't understand, and thought to herself, did she really not understand, or was she just pretending? Shouldn't she apologize for saying these things? Why does she look like an idiot?

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Don't make a fuss. You never have a moment of peace. Why don't you learn from your second sister?"

A few words made Zhou Yinghan stand up in great anxiety. Mrs. Hu ignored the concubine's daughter and let her stand there. However, Mrs. Li, who was standing behind Mrs. Hu and holding tea, looked at her daughter's helpless expression and her hatred increased by three points.

Mrs. Hu turned around and smiled at Meng Wan, "Don't argue with her. You've been spoiled by the prince. It's my fault for not thinking things through. I should have asked Madam Hong to tell you the time to pay respects earlier. Forget about it today, but remember the time tomorrow. The prince is a man who values ​​rules the most. I'm fine, but it's not good to make him unhappy."

Dongmei was shocked when she heard what Mrs. Hu said. She had specially inquired about the time for paying respects and confirmed it with Mrs. Fan. She even arrived a little earlier today. How could she still be late? What went wrong?

Meng Wan bowed slightly when she heard what Hu said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law has made a note of it. It will not be too late tomorrow."

After saying that, he sat down, took the tea handed to him by Chuaner and took a sip.

Mrs. Hu couldn't help but stroke her forehead. Is this the end? This is totally different from what she thought. At least she should make a statement since she was late. As long as she apologizes or pleads guilty, she can move on.

Xie Fen received the dissatisfied look from Mrs. Hu, but she would not do it anymore. The temporary change of the time for today's greeting was her first step to make things difficult for Meng Wan.

From the first day she married into the Shenjun Prince's Mansion, she knew the mission on her shoulders. She still remembered what Mrs. Hu said to her on the morning of the third day when she returned home. Although her father had long explained the agreement he had reached with the Shenjun Prince's Mansion, no, more precisely, with Mrs. Hu, Xie Fen still felt cold when she saw those cold words coming out of that red, smiling face.

Afterwards, she acted as Hu's thug, whether she was trying to scheme against Meng Qi and almost cause her to have a miscarriage at Pingxi Marquis' Mansion, or trying to embarrass Meng Wan by using the jade pendant as an excuse at the Hong family, including her words and actions during the recognition of her relatives yesterday, Xie Fen knew that there was no turning back.
