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

"Would you like to take a look at the gifts your mother prepared for you today? See if there's anything inappropriate so we can add or subtract."

"Since the princess and sister-in-law have seen it, I think it must be good. Besides, as long as the gift is a token of appreciation, it's enough. We don't lack anything at home." Meng Wan smiled innocently while sitting on the chair.

"Oh, second sister-in-law, you are so arrogant. No matter what, mother prepared it for you personally. If you don't want to see it, then don't see it. How come you don't even say thank you?" Zhou Yingning, who was sitting opposite, raised her eyebrows and said in a strange voice.

Meng Wan quickly stood up after hearing Zhou Yingning say this, "Where did I say anything wrong? Please point it out, Third Sister. I really don't think there's anything to see. Otherwise, could you please bring it up for me to have a look?"

Xie Fen's eyelids were twitching, and she even lifted them up to show you. I can't respond to what you said.

Seeing that no one responded to her words, Meng Wan thought for a moment and bowed to the princess, "Thank you, Princess. I like all the gifts." After saying this, she sat back down without waiting for the princess to let her sit down.

Seeing Meng Wan's behavior, Mrs. Hu knew that they could only stop here today. There was still a long time to go. After two more days of testing, he should be an easy person to deal with.

I just haven't found the right method yet. I need to spend some time to understand this person's behavioral habits, and then it will be easy to target him.

Mrs. Hu thought that Zhou Zheng was already old enough to be discussed for marriage, but she had high standards and felt that no matter how good his family background was, he was not worthy of her son.

Although it would be easy for her to get a good marriage just by being the legitimate son of Prince Shen, if she had the title of the prince's mansion's heir, then she would dare to ask for the hand in marriage of even the princesses in the palace. But now is not the right time.

At present, the outside affairs, including father, brother and Meng Hai have already arranged, and the son has established a relationship with the Hong family, so he will not worry about it. The affairs in the inner house still depend on himself. Looking at this person's performance, it is not difficult to achieve his goal, just take it slowly.

"As long as you are satisfied, remember to say hello to your grandmother and mother on my behalf when you get home." After saying that, he looked up at Yu who was standing aside, "Let's set the table. We can talk at any time as a family, but we can't delay the auspicious time for Second Grandma to return home."

The Yu family and the Hu family are distant relatives, and it can be said that the Yu family is the center of their lives.

After a short while, the table was ready. Meng Wan looked at the table. Wow, it was full. It felt like it was as full as Empress Dowager Cixi's. It was just breakfast, but Mrs. Hu was not afraid of getting angry.

She stood behind Xie Fen, watching the girl place exquisite plates on the table, without moving.

After the table was set, Xie Fen reached out her hand to help Hu. Hu took Xie Fen's hand and slowly stood up. She sat down at the head of the table, swaying like a beautiful lotus.

"Please sit down," said Mrs. Hu.

Meng Wan lifted her skirt and sat down gently, as if she didn't notice Xie Fen standing there at all. She was picking up a small bowl on Hu's table to serve the soup.

Zhou Yingning looked at Meng Wan sitting down carelessly, feeling angry, but knowing that she couldn't say anything more to Meng Wan. She looked up and saw Zhou Yinghan still standing, and said impatiently, "Why, mother has to treat you." Zhou Yinghan sat down next to Zhou Yingning with a red face.

"Second sister-in-law, the pearl meatballs are delicious. I want to eat some. Sorry to bother you, second sister-in-law." Zhou Yingning pointed at the dish that was only one plate away from her with her chopsticks.

Meng Wan opened his eyes wide when she heard her say this, and said as if he didn't understand, "I think it's not bad, but you shouldn't bother me. You should thank the cook."

When Zhou Yingning heard this, her face looked as if she hadn't gone to the toilet for several days.

Mrs. Hu looked at Meng Wan's expression and then at her daughter, and said softly, "Don't tease your second sister-in-law. There are so many servants, and any one of them can serve you food. You two should sit down. Mother Hong will go check on the return gift from Brother Yu's wife and come back to tell me so that I can rest assured."

After saying that, he raised his chopsticks and looked up at Li who was standing next to Zhou Yinghan, "Didn't you hear me? Serve the food to the Third Miss?"

Zhou Yinghan felt that his hands were shaking as he held the chopsticks, but Li lowered her head and walked silently to Zhou Yingning to serve her the food.

Meng Wan sighed inwardly, look at this, Li is still a concubine, but she can be ordered around by Hu like a servant, which shows that Hu is like a king in the inner house of the Prince's Mansion.

The road of house fighting is really not easy.

The meal was finished in a strange atmosphere where there were more people eating than serving. The silence at the table made Meng Wan feel depressed. She felt that the bowl of noodles she had in the morning was really a wise decision. Fortunately, Mrs. Hu did not embarrass her anymore, but said a few nice words to send her away.

------

"Mother, why don't you let her serve me food? This makes sense anywhere." Zhou Yingning said when she saw that all the servants had left and only a few close confidants around the princess were left.

"Just let her know, why bother about it." Mrs. Hu drank her tea slowly.

"But, when my sister-in-law came home, she stood for a whole month to serve me food!" Zhou Yingning picked up an unfinished cord from the sewing box on Hu's kang and said as she fiddled with it.

"That's different. Back then, we had to teach your sister-in-law a lesson and let her know who she can rely on. The best strategy was to use both kindness and force. This one is different. Before we understand her personality, we should not go too far. Just let her know our rules."

"Temperament? Haha, can't mother see it? I have never seen anyone more stupid than her. If I had known that she would marry Zhou Yu, I should have taken a closer look at her when she was still Meng Qi's girl."

"Don't jump to conclusions. Remember, don't embarrass her like you did today."

"She has to understand that I'm embarrassing her. Look at her just now. I'm afraid she didn't understand a word of what I said."

"In short, don't provoke her easily when I'm not around in the future, okay?" Zhou Yingning stopped talking after hearing what her mother said.

Mrs. Hu said a few more words to her daughter and sent her away.

Watching Zhou Yingning walk out, Mrs. Hu put down her teacup and said to Mother Hong, "Is everything arranged?"

"Yes, I have arranged it myself. Don't worry, by this afternoon, the whole capital will know about what happened yesterday and the quarrel between the two."

"Well, it's right to hold this fool. Tell the eldest brother's wife to do as we say from now on. She will inevitably suffer some grievances during this period, and I will compensate her."

"What are you saying, Princess? You arranged for the grandmother to do something, which shows that you respect her. You are just playing the villain."

"Well, even though I said that, I still have to show my attitude. I think this simple-minded guy will be put to use by us in a few months."

Madam Hong nodded and said, "Then I will go and see the return gift from Second Madam?"

"Is it necessary for you to go in person? Give her face and send someone else to go."

Mother Hong nodded complacently and left. Mrs. Hu looked out the window and whispered to herself, "The world is going to change."

Here, Meng Wan returned to Qinghe Garden and saw several boxes of things in the yard. Mother Fan was accompanying a housekeeper and looking at the items on the list one by one.

When several people saw Meng Wan coming back, they all bowed. The housekeeper walked a few steps quickly and said, "This servant greets the Second Madam. I am the fourth family of Shen who is in charge of the warehouse. I am in charge of the Second Madam's return gifts. This is in accordance with the instructions of the princess. Second Madam, please take a look. If it is okay, I will arrange for people to load the car."

Meng Wan glanced at it and felt disdainful. Why bother? Shouldn't this kind of thing be prepared early? Why is he still counting when he is about to go out? The sun has already risen.

If it were her, she would never make things difficult for her daughter-in-law over such a matter.

Looking at the obviously fake smile on Shen Sijia's face, Meng Wan said nonchalantly, "No need, just make sure Mother Fan is right." After saying that, she walked upstairs.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yu's cold voice came from behind.

Meng Wan stopped and looked back at Zhou Yu, who was holding a horsewhip in his hand with a sullen look on his face.

"It's a gift that the princess prepared for me to go back to my parents' home. I thought it had already been carried up the carriage, but who knew it was piled up here. I didn't know the rules, so I asked Mother Fan to look after it."

"A return gift? What time is it now? What were you doing before?" Zhou Yu raised his voice when he heard it.

"Replying to Second Young Master, the things were prepared long ago, but the princess was worried that the return gift would not be exquisite enough, so she chose and chose again, and only decided this morning."

"Not fine enough? It would be fine if you took down everything from the treasure cabinet in her room. You can take these things wherever you like, but get them away before my second wife and I come out."

Zhou Yu finished speaking and went up the stairs. "Why did you come back just now? You knew you had to go back home today, but you still took so long. You will be late when you get to the Huainan Marquis's Mansion, and then you can blame me. Go and change your clothes quickly, the car is waiting outside."

Meng Wan hurriedly followed him after hearing what he said. Mother Fan looked at the boxes of things, and then looked at Shen Sijia helplessly and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, think of a way, I still have to serve the second master."

Shen Sijia looked at the servants from Qinghe Garden who entered the house one after another, and cursed Hong Mama in her heart. Just a few words and they were made to eat melons. Which family's return gifts should be placed in the yard for inspection on the same day? This slap in the face can't be so blatant. Besides, it's okay for those who fall for this, but for a master like the Second Young Master, he will inevitably make trouble again.

No matter how much he complained, he still had to do the work. Fortunately, he had brought many maids with him, who could pack up the things with just a wave of their hands, and carry them out the same way they brought them in.
