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

The mausoleum of Prince Shen's mansion was built in a very grand manner. From the outside, it looked more like the residence of a wealthy family.

What Meng Wan didn't expect was that Zhou Yingrong and Xu Cheng were also there. This was the first time the two met since Zhou Yingrong walked away in anger because of the word "mother" on the day they recognized each other as relatives.

Zhou Yingrong didn't seem very enthusiastic, but she wasn't as cold as she was that day either, and she had just the right smile on her face.

There were two elderly men guarding the mausoleum. When they saw Zhou Yu holding Meng Wan's hand and jumping off the carriage, they excitedly stepped forward to kowtow and greet him. It seemed that either Wang had bestowed favors on him when she was alive, or Zhou Yingrong and her brother had taken good care of things in their later years.

The tomb of Wang was filled with tributes. Meng Wan gently placed a handful of wild flowers she had just picked at the foot of the mountain in front of the tombstone and stroked the words on the tombstone with her hand, thinking that this beautiful woman who gave birth to Zhou Yingrong and Zhou Yu lost her life early because of the wrong man. The brother and sister have not been able to find out the truth about her death for so many years. It is really pitiful.

Zhou Yingrong looked at Meng Wan's pious appearance, holding back the tears from her eyes, took the incense handed to her by Uncle Qi and walked to Meng Wan's side, "Mom, your daughter-in-law is here, do you still remember her? When she was little, you praised her for being beautiful and cute, and whenever A Yu bullied her, you always protected her. It turns out that you had high hopes for her back then."

Meng Wan heard this, tears flowed gently from her eyes. She took the incense handed to her by Zhou Yingrong and knelt down with Zhou Yu. "Mother, I am Meng Wan, the sister Wan who you always hold in your arms. Now I am your daughter-in-law. Are you happy? I am very happy. I am very happy to marry Zhou Yu."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu turned to look at Meng Wan. This was the first time that Meng Wan clearly expressed her satisfaction with this marriage.

"Zhou Yu is very good, he is better than anyone else. He has suffered so much, been plotted against so many times, and suffered so much loss. From now on, he has me. I will take care of him, I will help him, I will protect him, and I will give him a warm home."

After hearing this, Zhou Yingrong leaned her head on Xu Cheng's shoulder and choked up.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead of us is, I will be with him and never leave him. Please bless us and my elder sister's family from the spirit of heaven, and let all our wishes come true. Let me quickly open up the situation in the inner house, tear off Hu's disguise layer by layer, and make her pay the price for her previous actions. Not only her, but anyone who aids the tyrant will get the end they deserve."

Meng Wan inserted the incense and kowtowed three times with Zhou Yu. "Mother, when we go back, the battle between me and Hu for the inner house will officially begin. You must bless me so that I can find the people I want to find and know the things I want to know. You must also bless Yan Yun so that the great things he does outside can be successful."

When she stood up again, Zhou Yingrong had a completely different expression on her face. She held Meng Wan's hand tightly and said, "My dear sister, I'm sorry for that. I didn't know that day... I'm sorry."

"Don't say that, big sister. Everything that happened in the past month was discussed between Yan Yun and me. This situation should continue for a while. You know better than me how cunning Mrs. Hu is. It's impossible for her to completely let down her guard against me. I can only play dumb like this and let her think that I am who she thinks I am. Therefore, we can't tell anyone about our plan. Maybe next, I will do something out of the ordinary. Big sister should be angry. If you need to, you can scold me or punch me a few times."

When Xu Cheng heard Meng Wan say this, he patted Zhou Yu's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Good vision."

Zhou Yu puffed out his chest with pride after receiving Xu Cheng's praise, but at the same time he felt sad that Meng Wan would have to endure the injustice from Hu again.

Zhou Yingrong patted Meng Wan's hand, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. To be honest, I was really worried when Ayu wanted to marry you. Of course, I have inquired about your situation. Although the Huainan Marquisate has created such an identity for you, who in Beijing can believe it? Not to mention that you were taken away and raised by such a woman for so many years."

Meng Wan had told Zhou Yu everything about his past. There was nothing to hide, nor was there any need to. For a family like the Marquis of Huainan, it was not worth it for him to cover up their shame, and of course there was no need to tell everyone about it.

Zhou Yingrong took Meng Wan's hand and walked into the house guarding the tomb.

There are three rooms in the house, with an open hall in the middle, inner rooms on the east and west sides, and a small door at the back, which should lead to the kitchen and a place to store sundries.

The four people entered the east room, and Uncle Qi and the two tomb guards sat in the yard chatting.

After entering the room, Meng Wan was about to pour tea for the four people. Xu Cheng stepped forward and said, "You guys chat." He picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone.

"So, I'm very worried. Although I don't doubt your identity, I don't dare to expect you to be able to take on important matters in the inner house and to defeat Hu. I just hope you won't hinder A Yu and don't let him get married but still be single."

Meng Wan pushed the tea poured by Xu Cheng to Zhou Yingrong, picked up the teacup and took a sip. She did not interrupt Zhou Yingrong, nor did she show any excessive expression, she just listened quietly.

"It's just that I saw how happy Ayu was. He was very proud of this win-win idea he came up with. I never knew that Ayu had liked you for so long and to such an extent."

When Zhou Yu heard Zhou Yingrong talking about this, his face suddenly turned red. He wanted to say something, but he embarrassedly lowered his head and drank his tea.

Meng Wan looked at Zhou Yu and smiled. She guessed that Zhou Yu liked her, but she didn't know to what extent Zhou Yingrong said. Before she could ask, Zhou Yingrong continued, "I once asked A Yu, if the fact that you were the second daughter of the Marquis' Mansion was not discovered, and you followed Meng Qi to the palace as a dowry, what would he do?"

Meng Wan looked up at Zhou Yingrong in surprise. She had thought about this question before, but she had never asked it. She didn't expect Zhou Yingrong to bring it up on her own initiative.

Zhou Yingrong glanced at Zhou Yu, and seeing that her brother only blushed but did not say anything to stop her, she smiled and said, "He said that he would let you take care of everything around him, and Meng Qi is only the second young lady."

Zhou Yingrong looked at Meng Wan with a puzzled look, "I asked him, is it possible that he would let you be his concubine?"

Meng Wan was not surprised by this statement. People in ancient times attached great importance to family background. Even if Zhou Yu liked her very much, he would still marry Meng Qi. And for a dowry maid, it was already very rare for her to become a concubine.

"But he said that he wouldn't do that, because that would be disrespectful and blasphemous to you. He just wants you to be by his side and for him to see you all the time."

Meng Wan turned to look at Zhou Yu. The blush on Zhou Yu's face had faded. He slowly stood up and walked over. "So, when I heard that the second young lady that the Meng family found was you, I came up with this idea. I persuaded my brother-in-law and sister. My brother-in-law went to find the Marquis of Pingxi, and he first persuaded your grandfather, and then persuaded my father, and avoided the Hu family to make our marriage a success."

So that's how it is. Meng Wan didn't know all this. "Today my brother-in-law and sister are here to testify. You racked your brains to marry me. If you treat me badly in the future, I will complain to them."

Meng Wan's witty remarks caused the three of them to burst into laughter. Zhou Yu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you the opportunity to complain."

Zhou Yingrong was completely relieved at this time. She had a sister-in-law who was in tune with her brother and loved him. She was also very smart and thoughtful. Most importantly, her brother liked her. So what did she have to worry about?

Zhou Yingrong took Zhou Yu's hand and gently placed it on Meng Wan's hand, "From today on, you are my biological sister. I leave Ayu to you." Then she looked at Zhou Yu again, "Ayu, I leave sister Wan to you. We will definitely get better and better in the future."

Meng Wan's eyes were red with emotion at the brother-sister relationship between Zhou Yingrong and Zhou Yu. "Don't worry, big sister. I will protect Yan Yun's happiness."

Zhou Yu's chest was filled with happiness when he heard this. He held Meng Wan's hand tightly and said, "No, Qing'er, let's protect each other."
