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

The carriage went directly from the gate with the threshold removed to the screen wall of the second gate. Zhou Yu jumped off the carriage first, rubbing his left arm while reaching out to greet Meng Wan.

Meng Wan looked at Zhou Yu's expression and held back her laughter. Before she got out of the car, she saw Meng Wei and Zhang coming towards her with smiles on their faces.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law." Meng Wan greeted them warmly.

Zhang stepped forward and took Meng Wan's hand, "Mother wanted to come and pick you up in person, but your third brother stopped her."

Meng Wan smiled and said, "Fortunately, mother listened to my third brother." She didn't ask why Meng Shao and Jiang didn't come out to greet them. She knew without asking that, firstly, Jiang had almost torn her face with Wang because of Meng Qi's matter. Secondly, considering Zhou Yu's situation in the palace, Meng Shao was afraid that he had no hope for him.

As for these two short-sighted people, Meng Wan always believed that the key to an ally is not the number but the quality.

The four of them entered Shanzhi Hall first, chatting and laughing. Wang stood on the steps holding Guo Mama's hand, looking anxiously at the gate of the courtyard. After watching Meng Wan enter the gate, she hurriedly went down the steps.

"Madam, please go slower, slower, the Second Miss is fine."

Wang looked her up and down and saw that Meng Wan's face was rosy, her eyebrows were as dark as willows, her eyes were full of spring water, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she had the shyness of a newlywed.

Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since she saw Meng Wan get into the bridal sedan, she had never felt at ease. She was afraid that the palace would send a message saying that she could not return home.

After all, both Meng Qi and Meng Juan were unable to return home for three days due to various reasons, and Wang became a little neurotic.

Seeing Zhou Yu and Meng Wan kowtow to her, Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go to Songhe Garden first to pay respects to your grandfather, grandmother, father, and the elders in the family. Mother asked them to prepare delicious food for you. Let's come back and eat."

Meng Wan was a little surprised. Considering how much importance Meng Changfeng attached to Prince Shen's Mansion, how could he allow Zhou Yu to stay in Shanzhitang for dinner when he was taking her back home?

Song showed unprecedented enthusiasm for her, asking her questions, of course, mostly about Zhou Yiheng and Hu. Meng Wan followed the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, so she didn't express too many opinions. Who knows if Hu, who has such a long arm, has planted an informant in the Huainan Marquis Mansion? Although Meng Wan thought it was impossible, Liu was still there, and she didn't want to give her any chance.

Meng Wan was thankful that since she returned to her status as the second daughter of the Meng family, she had almost no contact with the second and third wives, or even the Jiang family. Therefore, the Meng family didn't know much about her temperament and habits. Of course, they didn't bother to learn more at that time.

Liu's eyes moved from Zhou Yu to Meng Wan, and then back again, until she realized that the two of them had no eye contact. No matter what Song or anyone else asked, when Meng Wan couldn't answer and looked at Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu just drank his tea calmly, with no intention of talking or helping.

Liu heaved a sigh of relief, thinking about what Meng Juan had told her last time. Because of the two accidents on the wedding day, Meng Juan was very passive in the Hong family and was almost directly rejected by Mrs. Hong. Although Mrs. Hong couldn't do too much due to Meng Hai's ability, she still showed it very clearly in all aspects.

What made Meng Juan most angry was Hong Zhe's attitude, which was not at all as sweet as she had imagined or as it should be like in the honeymoon period.

But today, looking at Meng Wan and Zhou Yu, Liu felt more balanced, and it seemed that the couple was not close. From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yu did not care much about the warm greetings from the Meng family, and showed impatience.

This caused Meng Changfeng to frown in dissatisfaction. After asking Zhou Yu a few questions and not getting immediate responses, Meng Yuan glared at Meng Wan several times, causing Meng Wan to twist her handkerchief and look at a loss.

This is good. As long as Meng Wan is not valued in the Prince's Mansion and is not liked by Zhou Yu, Meng Hai's plan will go smoothly. As long as Meng Hai's plan goes smoothly, Meng Juan's status and importance in the Hong family will be improved. When the King Jing's great cause is accomplished, the Third Master Hong will have his good position.

Therefore, everything in front of her was nothing, but Liu was really worried about whether Meng Hai could fulfill the condition proposed by the Hong family.

Seeing Zhou Yu's bored look, Meng Changfeng lost the enthusiasm to get close to him, so he picked up the teacup and started drinking.

Song was not close to Meng Wan to begin with. The number of times Liu and Liu had spoken to Meng Wan could be counted on one hand. Meng Xiu and Meng Wan also had little in common. Wang wanted to talk but was too disdainful to do so.

Therefore, after several rounds of questions and answers, the room fell into silence. To use a modern term, it was so awkward that one could squeeze out a three-bedroom apartment.

Meng Shao received a look from Meng Yuan and was about to say something, but Zhou Yu took the initiative to bring up the topic, but he was talking to Meng Wei.

"I heard that Third Brother is very good at Kung Fu?"

Meng Wei didn't expect Zhou Yu to call him "Third Brother" when he spoke to him. When he came in and greeted them just now, he was calling Meng Shao and Meng Xu "Eldest Young Master" and "Second Young Master".

"I don't deserve it, but I just like to exchange ideas with them when I have nothing to do."

"I do know a friend who runs a martial arts school. If you really like this, why don't I recommend it to you?"

When Meng Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened. He was really interested in these things and had discussed with Wang more than once about joining the army, but Wang refused to agree and forced him to study.

But he was not born to be a scholar. His sons were running around everywhere, but he was still just a scholar. He went to the Imperial Academy to study all day long despite being the legitimate son of a marquis. But he knew it was of no use at all. He could not listen to a word they said.

Originally, because of the incident with Meng Qi, he had forced himself to study hard, but it was useless. He got a headache whenever he looked at the books. But when he flipped through the pamphlets on martial arts and books on military tactics, he could read them with great interest.

"But is it Master Bao from Anyang Martial Arts School?" Meng Wei looked interested.

"Third brother knows?"

"Well, I heard it from them. The last time we went to Mei Zhuang, they said that my leg strength was not good enough, so they asked me to find you, saying that you knew Master Bao." Meng Wei regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. People told him to find Zhou Yu, but he didn't say a word. What does this mean? It means that he never thought of looking for Zhou Yu at all.

But before Zhou Yu could speak, Meng Yuan found an opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"Why do you go to Meizhuan if you don't study hard? You're idle all day long. You're in your twenties and you don't even have a proper business."

Before Meng Wei could react, Zhang's face turned red first. Her father-in-law would scold her husband whenever he opened his mouth to speak on weekdays. It was okay on weekdays, but today was the day when her son-in-law came back, and he started scolding him in front of so many people in the family. How could Meng Wei put her face aside?

Wang also frowned and looked unhappy, but this was really not the time for her to speak.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "Father-in-law is wrong. In my humble opinion, if Third Brother likes these things, he can try them out. There is a successful example in the Huainan Marquisate. Third Master Meng is now a favorite of the Emperor. No one can say that he is not doing a legitimate business."

After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Meng Yuan realized that Meng Hai's current success was not due to his joining the army.

"It's good to practice boxing and kicking when you have nothing to do to strengthen your body." Meng Changfeng took over the conversation and said quietly.

Zhou Yu did not respond, turning his teacup with an impatient look on his face. The air froze again. Meng Shao went to see Jiang. Jiang stood up and said to Meng Changfeng with a smile, "Grandfather, the banquet has been arranged. Shall we start now?"

Meng Changfeng exhaled and nodded helplessly. It seemed that his hopes for Zhou Yu were going to be dashed. He was simply a hopeless person. Forget it, at least he still had the title of the grandson-in-law of the Huainan Marquisate. He could always be used for a while. When the matter with the third brother was settled, it would not be too important to him whether Zhou Yu was the prince or the second young master.

For a while, men and women sat down at a table respectively. As soon as the dishes were served, Zhou Yu put down his chopsticks and said he was full.

Meng Yuan was holding the wine glass to his lips. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yu.

Meng Changfeng's face was also very unhappy. What was wrong with Zhou Yu? Even if he was a playboy and was reluctant to marry into the Huainan Marquis's mansion, how could he say he was full before even toasting? This was too arrogant.

Meng Hao couldn't stand it. He had specially taken a leave today to wait for Meng Wan to come home. He was just the second young master of a royal palace, not even the crown prince, but he had this attitude towards the Yue family. He had never encountered such a humiliating thing outside.

Zhou Yu listened to the sudden silence of the crowd, pursed his lips slightly and glanced at Meng Wan, "Have you finished eating? If you have, go to your mother-in-law's place. Didn't she say that you need to take some things back?"

Meng Wan was watching the fun with a chopstick of shrimp balls, when Zhou Yu's words suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Meng Wan thought for a moment and slowly put the shrimp balls into her mouth. After eating carefully, she nodded, "Mom, are you done?"

Wang looked at Meng Wan, then at Zhou Yu, thought for a moment, and stood up.

Zhou Yu followed behind Wang and Meng Wan. Thinking about how Meng Wan was able to finish the shrimp balls in such a weird atmosphere, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was able to keep his composure. What a good daughter-in-law.
