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

"Seventh sister went to the outer courtyard?" Hu asked casually.

"Yes, he looked terrified. He just held onto his clothes and tugged at the corner of Mrs. Song's clothes. He was blocking the gate and refused to leave. His legs were shaking."

"Humph, he is really getting more and more successful. He is now taking his bad temper out on his wife. What's the point of scaring a maid, a stupid one at that. I thought he would make progress after marrying a wife, but he actually regressed. I see that his yard has become more chaotic than ever because of Meng Wan."

Madam Hong smiled slightly, "Who says she isn't? Everyone in the mansion knows that Seventh Sister is not normal in the head. No one cares about what she breaks or damages on weekdays. But Second Master, it's just that the corner of the clothes got caught and the thread came off accidentally, and you have to go to the outer courtyard to sew the clothes as they were. Seventh Sister doesn't know how to sew clothes. She has to ask others to sew her own clothes. I think this has offended Second Master. I'm afraid that Seventh Sister will have a bad life if she goes to the outer courtyard."

Mrs. Hu nodded. "Seventh sister is timid. She always stays away from him every time he comes. How come she ran into him this time?"

"I didn't see it, but I heard from the people in the courtyard that the Seventh Sister was sweeping the snow with other maids, and someone's handkerchief got caught on the beam of the corridor. The Seventh Sister took a hook to catch it, but when she turned around, she threw the hook at the Second Master."

"Seventh sister, it's just your bad luck. I see that no matter it's raining or snowing, the second young master never walks through the corridor. He's really unlucky today." Hu thought of Zhou Yu coming into the room with a red face, asking who that silly girl was, and then cursing. Not satisfied, she pulled the corner of her robe to ask her for the girl, saying that she would take her to her yard outside and give her a good punishment.

Mrs. Hu thought about the news she received from Qinghe Garden yesterday, saying that Zhou Yu asked about Chuntao. She wanted to ask Lvliu or Mother Fan to go and see why she hadn't come back for so long. Meng Wan got angry when she heard it, and said that she was not at home. Who knew what was going on? She was worried about Chuntao after she hadn't come back for a few days. Could she have really done something?

Zhou Yu was so angry that he slammed the table. This was the first time he did this in front of the servants. It was said that if it wasn't for Madam Fan stopping him, Zhou Yu would have started a fight. Maybe he was still angry. Today was the day to pay respects. It was bad not to come. He happened to run into the unlucky Seventh Sister. Alas, there was nothing he could do.

She is just a seventh sister. If she hadn't seen that she had no father or mother and her parents had lost their lives in an accident while helping to collect the interest on her farm, she would not have kept such a stupid girl in the yard.

"That's right. I saw Xue Fu standing at the door, and I dragged my seventh sister to the outer courtyard. If I had known that the second young master would ask my seventh sister to go to the outer courtyard, I would have taught her more. Maybe I could have gotten some information. After all, we can't get into the second young master's outer courtyard at all."

"Forget it, pointing at her? If you really teach her something, just tell Zhou Yu later. If the Seventh Sister wasn't ugly and not smart, I would have suspected that our Second Master had a liking for her. Haha. I just didn't expect that Chuntao was really capable. Even though they were not in the courtyard, Zhou Yu's words could have caused the couple to quarrel. This is a good idea. Tell the people in Qinghe Garden to talk about Chuntao whenever they have nothing to do, and then tell a few things about what happened that night, whether true or false, to make Meng Wan suspicious."

Mother Hong smiled and said, "Yes, I will go and tell you when I get back."

Mrs. Hu stood up and asked, "When did the third daughter of the Meng family get married?"

"There are still seven days left. Princess, do you want to go?"

"She doesn't have that much nerve. Let Xie take the second young lady. Just reduce the gift by half of Meng Juan's."

Qinghe Garden

"Seventh sister went to the outer courtyard?" Meng Wan asked Mother Kong after seeing the makeup she was adding to Meng Xiu's.

"Yes, Xuefu just took me to the outer courtyard."

Meng Wan nodded happily. Zhou Yu was really amazing. She was originally worried about what excuse to find to get the seventh sister out without people suspecting her. At first, she thought of getting her to Zhou Yu's outer courtyard, but she thought that would be too conspicuous, so she first transferred her to Qinghe Garden and then thought of a way. However, she didn't expect that Zhou Yu would make a fuss in the morning, and she got it right away.

Thinking about the two of them discussing this matter, Zhou Yu said disdainfully, "There's no need to think of a solution for this kind of thing. Just find an excuse to make a scene. Anyway, I haven't caused them any trouble for many days. By the way, how many days have we not had a fight?"

Meng Wan looked at Zhou Yu thinking seriously and chuckled, "Who would remember this? Why don't we set a date later?"

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, "Let's have a fight, otherwise they will get worried. I see that you have almost cleaned up the yard, so if anyone finds something wrong and wants to stay, they should be careful."

Meng Wan said, "Well, don't say it. It seems like we really need to have a quarrel. This time, let's do it in front of the servants. If you are older, you can hit me if you want. I want to confirm whether the two people I suspect are Xie and Zhou Yingning's men."

Ever since Meng Wan came back from living in Duiyue, he had successively sent away two old women and two maids under the pretext of being lazy, not listening to orders, and drinking at night. Together with the four who were driven out at the beginning, Qinghe Garden now has a lot fewer servants.

Meng Wan had never told Hu about it, and Hu didn't ask, she just watched what Meng Wan was going to do. Although there were enough servants in Qinghe Garden now, it was just enough. It was almost the end of the year, and there would be more and more things to do, especially the plan I had arranged. I was afraid that she would be anxious by then. If she came to ask me for people at that time, I'm sorry, no, it's your fault that you don't like everyone.

"How are you going to fill these vacancies?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Anytime. Mother Liu has sent me a reply. She has found it for me."

"Oh? Can you come in?"

"The reason why I got so many people out is that there are indeed some restless ones here, some of them are small shrimps, and some who don't take their jobs seriously. My main purpose is to get rid of more people who are not satisfactory, so that when I open my mouth to buy people, I will have room to choose. I thought that the princess would never let me choose several people to fill all the vacancies, so I just need to bring in the ones that Mother Liu has trained well."

"As for the others, aren't you afraid that they will release them again?"

"Don't worry, putting it there before I entered the door and putting it there now are two different things."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Zhou Yu sat down and looked at Meng Wan's serious expression, which was so adorable.

"Before we got married, they had plenty of time to arrange for people to come in and train them slowly. Anyway, I didn't know anyone, and you wouldn't know who was who either. But now it's different. Ever since I came in, Cai'er and Caixia have been walking around the house. They can almost remember who is in each courtyard. So if they send their confidants or those who are useful in now, wouldn't that make me suspicious? Neither Mrs. Hu nor Xie Fen would do that."

Meng Wan walked over to Zhou Yu, held Zhou Yu's outstretched hand and continued, "So, it's true that our courtyard is short of people now, and it's true that they want to fill it up, but they won't fill it with too many people, at least they won't draw people from outside their courtyard. They will either buy them from outside, or draw them from the odd jobs. Tell me, how many of those people are the ones they have carefully trained?"

Zhou Yu gently stroked Meng Wan's hand, "You are so smart. Mrs. Hu would never have thought that you dislike this person today and chase that person away tomorrow just to get someone who wants to marry you."

"She didn't expect that before I even entered the house, I had already started training people to enter Qinghe Garden. Haha, what do you think, is your wife smart?" Meng Wan said coquettishly, touching Zhou Yu's nose.

Zhou Yu stood up and gently held Meng Wan in his arms. Their eyes met, and the strong affection made them both intoxicated.

Zhou Yu's kiss was so passionate that Meng Wan would be intoxicated every time. After a while, looking at Meng Wan's eyes full of spring after being kissed by him, Zhou Yu said softly, "Smart, there is no one else like you in the whole capital. So, smart lady, have a quarrel with your husband, so that they can feel at ease."

So, the servants of Qinghe Garden saw the two people quarreling over Chuntao, and the second young master slammed the gate and left again.
