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

"What did you say? Is it true?" Mrs. Hu couldn't help laughing after hearing what Mama Hong said. "Go call Chuntao over. I want to ask her in person. This girl is really capable."

"It's not her ability, it's your wisdom, with the joint efforts of both inside and outside, that allowed Mother Fan to fall in." Mother Hong said with a smile.

"Humph, Meng Wan is also stupid. This Madam Fan should not be allowed to stay. For the sake of his own good reputation, he let her do whatever she wants. Now it's good, really good. We must make good use of this matter."

"Princess, how can we use it? After all, Chuntao was unable to..."

"Did you see it?"

"what?"

"What did Zhou Yu say? Chuntao is just a servant. Our Second Young Master doesn't acknowledge her. She dare not say anything when threatened." Mrs. Hu stood up and walked to the window. "Wait a few months, Chuntao's belly will get bigger. Who can say it's not Second Young Master's? Besides, there is Madam Fan to testify."

"Princess, do you mean to make something that doesn't exist become something? But Chuntao really doesn't have it..."

Mrs. Hu glanced at Mother Hong impatiently, "You've followed me for so long, and you still need to ask such questions? Didn't Zhou Yu ask Chuntao to go home and rest for a few days? You go find Zheng'er and ask him to find someone who looks and has a similar body shape to our Second Master. I think Chuntao will be able to get pregnant in ten days or half a month. If not, let Chuntao rest for a month and it will work." After saying that, she covered her mouth and giggled.

Chuntao knelt on the ground, looking at Mrs. Hu's mouth opening and closing as she sat at the top. She felt her head buzzing.

"Princess, this won't do. The Second Master was sober at the time. He knew he didn't touch me. And this morning, Madam Fan and I also promised the Second Master."

"Sober? I've never heard that drinking and then taking that medicine can sober you up. Aren't you sure you added a dose to Mother Fan's hangover soup?"

"Yes, I did add it. Madam Fan had prepared the hangover soup long ago and placed it in my room. I watched her put the medicine in, and when she left, I poured the rest in as well."

"That's it. When he woke up, the effect of the drug had worn off, and you had already taken care of him. You were afraid that the Second Madam would target you, so you didn't dare to tell the truth. You could only go along with what the Second Master said. Do you understand?" Mrs. Hu walked down, bent down slightly, stretched out her fingers and gently lifted Chuntao's chin.

"Besides, it must be true that the Second Master pinned you down and took off your clothes, right? He won't deny it. If that's the case, then you are his, and our Second Madam will definitely not deny it."

Mrs. Hu let go of her hand, took the handkerchief handed over by Mama Hong and wiped it, "You did a great job this time, and I will remember your great achievement. Now you just need to go home and wait, Mama Hong will arrange for someone to pick you up, you need to be diligent, and you are not allowed to leave me any time during this period of time, understand?"

Chuntao looked up at Mother Hong with a pale face, her eyes full of pleading. She thought that it was true that she had taken Zhou Yu's bed, and she wanted to become Zhou Yu's concubine. She even thought that if what happened yesterday was successful and she was really pregnant with a boy or a girl, with the help of the princess, she would surely give birth to Zhou Yu's eldest son safely, and then she would be his concubine.

But these only apply to Zhou Yu. I came to Qinghe Garden with the intention of serving Zhou Yu, and I have been sticking to this idea for all these years.

What happened last night did not work out. Although Zhou Yu's words of warning to me this morning were frustrating, at least I have had physical contact with Zhou Yu. Even if it doesn't work out now, I can slowly let the news out. When the time is right, the Second Mistress will definitely give the Second Master a concubine, and I will be the first choice then.

But now, now... the princess actually let herself do that with another man, and then got pregnant with a child and said it was the Second Master's. How could this be allowed?

Erye is not a fool. The key point is that nothing happened between the two of them last night.

Mrs. Hu looked at Chuntao's expression and said impatiently, "Don't be ungrateful. Don't worry, as long as you get pregnant, your brother will serve the Third Young Master and your sister will serve the Third Young Lady."

When Chuntao heard this, she looked up with surprise and hope.

Mrs. Hu waved at Mother Hong, and Mother Hong walked forward, picked up Chuntao and brought her to her room.

"Mother Hong, is this okay?"

"What's wrong with that? You've fallen into a good nest, don't you understand?" Mother Hong handed the soaked handkerchief to Chuntao.

"Think about it, why did you try so hard to please Madam Fan? It's because you wanted to be accepted by the Second Master. Regardless of whether the Second Master admits it or not, everyone knows that you served the Second Master in his room last night, especially Madam Fan. She knows everything in her mind. Even if the Second Madam questions her, she can say that you have been accepted by the Second Master."

"How is this possible? Mother Fan would never lie to the Second Master."

"I'm talking about Second Mistress. You've seen what Madam Fan has been doing since Second Mistress came into the family. She's relied on her seniority to cause trouble for Second Mistress. And Second Mistress is a bit of a face. You've been with her for a month and you know her character. She's not someone you can handle. Second Mistress thinks that you've followed Second Master and acknowledged that the baby in your belly is his. What can Second Master do, do you think?"

"Everyone in the mansion knows that the Second Master doesn't like Second Madam. No matter how unhappy Second Madam is or how much she makes a fuss, she has to swallow her anger. Besides, it's not certain whether Second Madam will be able to give birth in the future. If you work hard and give birth to a boy, Chuntao, your good fortune will come."

Chun Tao's face brightened instantly. "So, Second Master has to admit it whether he wants to or not?"

"That's right. Besides, the princess has already instructed that the age, height, and appearance of the person to be chosen should be based on the Second Master. The child will be about 50% similar to him when he is born. That's enough."

Chuntao wiped her face gently, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. No, she was not qualified to study whether it was feasible or not. She had to do it whether she wanted to or not.

"What if a blood test is needed in the future?"

"What should I do? You only think about the princess's ability. Do you think Mother Fan is helping you just because of your diligence these few days?"

Chun Tao blinked her eyes, "Mom means that there are still people of the princess in Qinghe Garden."

"How ridiculous! Do you think you are the only one involved? You are just trying to attract the attention of Second Mistress and everyone else. We still have several people in Qinghe Garden. Someone is also behind this."

Mother Hong put the towel on the shelf and said, "So, don't worry. Go home today and follow him obediently tonight. Don't be shy. Be gentle with him. You must get pregnant within this month. If you do, you will have great luck. If you don't, think about how you will live in the future."

Chuntao's face flushed red as she thought of Zhou Yu pressing on her last night, stroking her shoulders with his hands. She felt the throbbing sensation that the man's strength brought her, and she actually began to look forward to the man that night.

Yes, what Hong's mother said was right. Zhou Yu had taken me in last night, but because of Zhou Yu's threats, I didn't dare to tell the truth to Fan's mother. It was when Second Mistress asked about it and Second Master didn't admit it, she dragged Fan's mother out. It was she who put the aphrodisiac in, and it was still in the mezzanine of Fan's cabinet.

With the potency of the aphrodisiac, how could the Second Master let me go? So, I was afraid and had no choice but to go along with what the Second Master said. When I got pregnant and it became clear, the Second Master and the Second Mistress would have to acknowledge it, whether they wanted to or not.

Besides, the princess had just promised to find better jobs for her brothers and sisters.

------

In the back street of Prince Shen's Mansion, Mother Fan opened the door of her own courtyard with the key. Because of her status as Zhou Yu's wet nurse, Mother Fan was able to have her own small courtyard. Although it was small, she was not disturbed by others. When she was on duty in the mansion on weekdays, she only had to lock the door.

Mother Fan had a son, who was now sent away by Mrs. Hu with his wife to one of the most remote farms of the Wang family, far away from the capital. Mother Fan had not seen her son for many years. At the beginning of the year, she received a letter saying that she had a grandson. When Mother Fan talked about it with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu sighed and said that it was because of him that Mother Fan couldn't even see her grandson.

This is also the reason why Mother Fan usually lives in the mansion. Even when she returns home, she is alone. Although there are servants living around her, they generally don't interact with her, which makes Mother Fan come back to live even less.

Mother Fan had just lit the fire in the stove and brought in a handful of firewood from the corner of the house. She hadn't been home for a few days, and the house was very cold. Listening to the laughter coming from the yard next door, Mother Fan sat on a small stool, pulling the firewood while thinking about what had happened during this period of time.

Although she didn't think she had done anything wrong in the matter of Chuntao, she now felt a little regretful. After all, everyone knew that Chuntao was the princess's person. No matter what her reason was for helping Chuntao, in the eyes of outsiders, especially the second grandmother, she would definitely have a problem with her.

Mother Fan reached out her hand towards the slowly burning stove and laughed at herself. What could she do if she had any opinions? She was the one who forced all this.
