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

"Cai'er picked out the good herbs prepared by Mother Kong and refused to put them in anyway." Dongmei smiled and put away the clothes that Meng Wan brought to the Marquis' Mansion one by one.

Meng Wan smiled, "This girl is the best at not tolerating any sand in her eyes. The Second Master will be back late today, and I don't have to go to Junyueju, so let Shanling prepare a pot to eat."

"Great, this kind of weather is perfect for eating that." Chuan'er said happily.

"Mother Kong, please take out the silver. Since we are going to eat, let's have fun together. Let's prepare a table for those in the yard as well." Meng Wan said with a smile.

Seeing that Mother Kong wanted to talk to Meng Wan, Chuan Er said, "I will go, but Mother Kong has to pay for the money."

Amid everyone's laughter, Chuan'er took Shanling and Lvliu to the big kitchen.

"After what happened that day, the little girl next to Mama Fan suddenly became close to Caiyun. She always asked Mama what kind of tonic she took, when she took it, and how long she took it."

Caiyun was in charge of making medicine for Meng Wan, delivering water and other tasks. She usually spent more time in the back room and had more contact with them.

Meng Wan understood that Mother Fan was trying to figure out how to put her "fertility-aiding" medicine into her daily nourishing soups and water.

Mother Kong didn't know that Mother Fan had the medicine. Meng Wan told Mother Kong what Song Liugen saw and what Song Zhu's family had found out. Mother Kong was shocked. First, she didn't expect Mother Fan to be so bold that she even dared to interfere with her master's pregnancy and childbirth. Second, she didn't expect that Second Madam would think so far ahead. When did she plan to use Song Zhu's family?

"This is what I think. Even if we learn everything about the palace and know as much about the past as possible, even if we want to know everything about the former princess, it will be in vain without someone. People have to walk on two legs. Since the Song Zhu family wants to come over, we naturally have to test them. Now it seems that he is useful."

Mother Kong nodded. Second Madam was explaining to her in disguise. She was a servant, so she had to do whatever her master arranged. Second Madam explained the situation clearly because she was afraid that she would misunderstand why she didn't know about it earlier. This also showed that she had Second Madam's trust.

Thinking of this, Mother Kong felt full of strength and told Meng Wan every piece of news she had heard in the past few days.

"So, Xiaohuan has started taking pregnancy-preserving medicine every day? Isn't that too early?"

"Yes, and I only drink the ones that Mrs. Zhong brews and sends me. She says the ones brewed by others have a weird taste and I can't drink them."

"Xiao Huan is going to give birth to the child. Mrs. Zhong didn't reply?"

"No, I pretended to run into her a few days ago. Since she was carrying medicine, I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I just said hello from a distance. She seemed to have something to say, but she didn't say it."

Meng Wan nodded, "Don't force it. I've said that people are related by interests and feelings. Mrs. Zhong has nothing to do with us in these two matters. She doesn't need to come over now."

"Second Madam, I think Mrs. Zhong should fight for it. During the first few conversations, she was obviously not very determined. Maybe she felt that if Xiaohuan's pregnancy could be stable, their family would be well off and they wouldn't need to rely on anyone."

"Yes, she must be thinking so. Therefore, whether we can win over Mrs. Zhong depends on the situation of Xiaohuan's pregnancy."

"Then should we..." Mother Kong's eyes showed determination.

"No, let's not talk about the fact that we don't have such conditions. We can't even get our hands on Concubine Li. Just to say that when it comes to killing someone, we can't get our hands on them unless we have no other choice, even though it's a small life." Meng Wan said this, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. She was not a white lotus, nor was she a saint. If the time really came to show her true colors, she would do it, but not now.

"Yes, that's what I said. Don't forget that Caixia knows Kung Fu. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, she can always get into some places."

"Oh?" Meng Wan looked up at Mother Kong. She only knew that Caixia knew some Kung Fu, but it was limited to a few rounds of bare-handed fighting. She never thought she had this ability? That's right, she never asked in detail.

"Yes, during this time in the mansion, the old servant took them two to walk around the mansion several times. Caixia said that the walls in each courtyard were low and she could jump in."

Meng Wan was amused when he heard this. Caixia's personality was somewhat similar to Cai'er's, and the things she said were also funny.

"Tell her that if she keeps her skills, they will be useful someday. As for Mrs. Zhong, let's wait and see. I think the fate of Xiaohuan's child will be known before the end of the year, and we will know whether she can help us by then."

"If, if Mrs. Zhong's approach doesn't work, then what about the late princess's account? Let the princess hand over an empty shell?" Mother Kong had a worried look on her face. She had always adhered to the principle that money was the most important thing when doing anything.

"We still have Xueyan. Besides, I'm not in a hurry for my mother's dowry. Those account books are dead. No matter how much the Hu family tamper with them, they will always refer to the old ones and will not destroy them for a while. But we should pay attention. It's almost the end of the year. I always feel that the Hu family will not let go of this opportunity easily."

"Are you talking about the palace banquet?"

"No, I mean here in the palace. I was thinking that I had to screw up something big so that the Hu family could be completely assured of me, and those clan members who were watching me could be assured. The autumn banquet a few days ago was just a pathfinder for her, and I haven't given her a chance yet. With her status as a princess, she was able to enter the palace and was made the princess. Her intelligence and ability are extraordinary."

Meng Wan looked at Mama Kong, "You have to know that it is rare for a concubine to be promoted to the first wife, not only in this prince's mansion, but even in ordinary wealthy families. Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, if I remember correctly, the number of people who have been promoted to the first wife, excluding the concubines in the palace, can be counted on one hand. It can be seen that the Hu family is very difficult to deal with. Of course, there may be other reasons."

Mother Kong nodded and said, "When I went to give the Second Miss a gift, Concubine Li was there too. The mother and daughter seemed to have had an argument. The Second Miss' eyes were red, and Concubine Li's expression was not good either."

Meng Wan recalled that when they were in Junyue Residence, the mother and daughter were always being massaged by Hu Shi. She admired Zhou Yinghan for being able to do so at such a young age. Then she thought, what else could she do? Hu Shi was going to arrange a marriage for Zhou Yingning, and Zhou Yinghan, the second child, must be arranged before her younger sister.

She will be fifteen next year, which is considered old in a noble family. I heard Zhou Yu mention it before, that the prince had picked a man for the second daughter, and that family also had this intention, but nothing happened before it was made public. I heard that the man married his cousin at the beginning of the year.

"Did the second young lady open the gift you sent?"

"Yes, I also told you what the pink aquamarine represents, and Concubine Li even praised it for being beautiful."

Meng Wan nodded. Shuibi was actually like the crystal in the previous life. The one given to Zhou Yinghan was a pen holder carved into the shape of Ruyi. Zhou Yinghan liked writing and painting very much, especially painting.

Everyone knows what Ruyi represents, but she needs Kong's mother to explain the meaning of the pink crystal. She asks Kong's mother to tell Zhou Yinghan that the pink crystal symbolizes the expectation for a better life, especially for the future other half.

I don’t know if Zhou Yinghan can understand what I mean, but I hope he won’t let me down.

"Second Grandma, what should we do about Madam Fan?"

"Watch her do it." (Please pronounce the word "do" twice)

"Ah? Just let her do it?"

"Yes, and we have to create opportunities for her to think that her plan has succeeded, you understand."

Mother Kong thought for a moment and whispered, "Just to let her think that Second Grandma took the fertility-enhancing drug?"

"Yes, only in this way can she feel at ease, and the person who is using her can continue to attack, and we can defeat them one by one."

Meng Wan walked to the window and watched Cai'er skipping into the yard, and couldn't help but smile.
