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

"That incident kept me in bed for half a year. My sister smashed the main room of Junyueju beyond recognition because of it. My father seemed to have aged many years. I don't know if Mrs. Hu was frightened by Yanfu or by my sister. It took her a long time to recover."

"What about the palace? You naturally can't go there, but has Zhou Zheng gone there?"

"No, my sister came back and blocked my father in the outer study room and told him that if Zhou Zheng went to the palace to be a companion, she would spread the news to everyone in the capital, so that everyone would know how the royal family, which almost beat its legitimate son to death for a concubine who had an affair with an outsider, could survive in the capital."

Zhou Yu laughed out loud, "Qing'er, I'm incompetent. Yanfu was accused of having an affair for my sake and was thrown out like a roll of tattered mat. Later, it was Uncle Qi who found Yanfu and brought her back to her hometown. Xuefu went back this time to pay tribute to Yanfu. It's been five years. Time flies."

"Don't say that. It's not that you are incompetent, it's that Mrs. Hu is too vicious. She wants to use this as an excuse to get rid of Yanfu's child and then involve you. Don't say that you were only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time. Even now, as long as the affairs of the inner house in the mansion were arranged carefully by Mrs. Hu, who would not listen to her? How much can you discover and how much can you change?" Meng Wan stretched out her hand and hugged Zhou Yu's neck.

"Later, I transferred Xue Fu to my study in the outer courtyard. With Wu Hen around, I felt relieved. Now that you're married to me, you should pay more attention to this matter. It's not just about caring for Xue Fu's daily life, but also about her lifelong affairs. Only when Xue Fu is well and lives a happy life, I will be worthy of Yan Fu's sacrifice for me."

"Don't worry, once the affairs of the inner courtyard are sorted out, at least our Qinghe Garden will be in order, so let Xuefu return to the inner courtyard."

Zhou Yu nodded, wiped his face vigorously with both hands and patted it gently, "Go to sleep, you've heard a lot of nonsense, don't sleep badly again."

After saying that, he turned over and hugged Meng Wan in his arms.

Meng Wan turned sideways, with her back facing Zhou Yu, and nestled into his arms. There was no gap between them at all, like conjoined twins, warm and solid.

"Today I asked Cai'er to go back with Mother Kong. I don't plan to stay too long, maybe another three or four days. I thought that since Mother Fan gave the princess such a good opportunity, she would be eager to use it. In this month, I have to see which of the lines I have laid out can be used and which one can catch fish."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu hugged Meng Wan tighter and kissed her earlobe, "Okay, sometimes you have to pull the string after it's been left for too long, there will always be a surprise."

——————

Wang Shi didn't feel sorry that Meng Wan couldn't stay for a month. "It's right for you to go back. You don't like to go out. If you stay at home, you will just accompany me every day. It's a waste of time. We haven't taken over the palace yet, so we can't leave it for so long. We can't let Yan Yun come here every now and then."

Wang saw through it all. Meng Wan came back to stay for the whole month. Except for her and Meng Wei who were really happy, the rest of the family seemed to have never seen this person come back. Apart from having a meal at Songhe Hall that day, it had been almost ten days. Not to mention the second and third rooms, even Song had never invited Meng Wan to a separate banquet.

This girl is married, and she is married to a prince's mansion. How can Wang, her mother, be happy that her daughter is so unappreciated in her parents' home?

"Don't worry, go back. Your third sister-in-law is at home. My health is getting better. I have been taking the medicine Yan Yun brought back since the day before yesterday. I couldn't even leave the house at this time of year in previous years, but I have been very relaxed these days."

Meng Wan was happy. Zhou Yu had specially asked Qing Ning to prepare the medicine. She had just learned that Qing Ning was the last disciple of the most mysterious "Yun Ling Shan Ren" in the martial arts world. This "Yun Ling Shan Ren" was a great doctor, and was best at treating various diseases and prescribing medicine. However, this expert was erratic and had no fixed residence, so it was difficult for ordinary people to find him. And few people knew that Qing Ning was his disciple.

Zhou Yu couldn't explain Qing Ning's identity clearly. He only heard Uncle Qi say that he was a young man from a rich family, but his family had fallen into decline. He had a strange disease since he was a child, and his whole body was white, even his hair and sweat hair were white, and he needed to take medicine all year round.

Meng Wan was thinking about the young man in white that he saw when he was treating Wu Hen. Could he have albinism?

"Well, you must insist on taking the medicine. The medicine was specially prepared by Second Master. It is good for strengthening the body and immunity, and it has no side effects on the body." Seeing that Wang Shi obviously didn't understand what he said, Meng Wan smiled faintly, "It's just that it's good medicine. It took a lot of effort to get it. If you don't take it, you will fail Second Master and me."

Wang patted her hands happily, "Don't worry, I'm eating. I originally thought that I would be satisfied as long as I could see Qi'er get married. Later, God had mercy on me and returned you to me. In this case, I must live well and live a few more years to make up for the thirteen years I owe you. And Sister Min, I will take care of Yanyun for her, and I want to see it to the end."

Meng Wan buried his head in Wang's arms, "Thirteen years is not enough, thirty years is not enough. You have to watch us get better, and you have to help me and my fourth sister take care of the children. Didn't you promise my third brother that you would go to Sichuan to enjoy your life when he became a general? You can't break your promise."

Tears fell from Wang's eyes. She gently patted Meng Wan's shoulders, "Don't worry, I know. I used to be indifferent to everything. As long as you guys were good and they didn't offend me, I would turn a blind eye and not bother with them. You have suffered for thirteen years, and Sister Qi was plotted against by them. I will never let them have an easy time."

Wang helped Meng Wan up and stroked her hair lovingly. "They only treat me as a face, but forget that I am the daughter of the Wang family. From now on, I will get back everything they owe me, my daughter. You and Sister Qi don't have to put too much energy on Meng Juan. I have arranged everything. She will never have a good day again. I will make Liu suffer ten thousand times more than I do."

Meng Wan looked up in surprise. Meng Juan? What did Wang arrange? How come she had never heard of it?

Looking at Wang's determined eyes, Meng Wan understood again. How could a woman who had been immersed in the inner house for so many years be a little white flower? Moreover, as long as Wang was alive and well, there would be people who would stand up for her, such as Meng Wei, himself and Meng Qi, and Wang Boyuan who was far away in Miaodi.

------

The carriage was on the way back to Prince Shen's Mansion. As usual, Zhou Yu did not come to pick him up. He told him that Wu Hen would follow him secretly. Although he could not see him, this made Meng Wan feel relieved.

At the corner of the alley leading to the palace, the carriage stopped for a moment, and after a while, Chuan'er got on the carriage in the flying snow.

Chuan'er pulled his cloak closer, thinking about the news he had just heard, and looked up at Meng Wan with slightly narrowed eyes, his admiration for this second wife deepened.

She sometimes felt that the old saying, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son is born to dig holes," was very true.

Although she had been away from home for so many years and had no one to teach her or help her, Second Grandma still had a far-sighted vision. As long as a little information came back, Second Grandma would make effective use of it. Some things seemed to her to be worthless, but Second Grandma never thought so. She would always seize the opportunity in the shortest time and in a passive situation without letting others notice anything unusual.

This is the skill, the innate ability. Following such a master, you will always be full of hope.

Mother Kong brought Cai'er and Dongmei to meet Meng Wan at the second gate. Sitting in the warm sedan chair with a hand warmer in his hand, Meng Wan thought about what he should do next.

I will be very busy from now until the end of the year. First, I need to find out what the situation is with Fan's mother and come up with a plan to deal with it. Second, I need to pay attention to how the Hu family will use Chuntao's matter. Third, I need to arrange a wedding for Meng Xiu. Fourth, there is the New Year's palace banquet. I forgot to ask Zhou Yu if he had found it these days. I have to bring it back for comparison first. If I don't start, there may not be enough time.

In short, there are a lot of things waiting for me. I haven't been in the palace these days, and I don't know how Mother Kong is progressing. If Mrs. Zhong's literary approach doesn't work, then I can only use force, after all, Xiaohuan's belly can't wait any longer. And whether Cai'er has gained anything from this trip to Hongluo Temple, etc.
