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

"I really didn't expect it to be like this. Are you sure you're ready? If you still can't use any strength, you might as well take a rest for a while and come back to work after the New Year." Meng Wan said with a smile.

Chuntao's face was like a peach blossom, her eyes seemed to be filled with water, and even her voice sounded like it was soaked in honey. "I am fine now. It is my fault that Second Madam was worried about me. I didn't think it would be so serious. I just thought I would take a few doses of medicine when I got home.

"But I didn't expect it to get worse. I couldn't even hold a bowl. Later, my brother heard that there was a barefoot doctor outside the city who was very good at this, so he took me to see him, and found that the bone was actually broken. I simply lived in his house to recuperate. I thought a month would be enough, but I didn't expect it to take more than ten days. I left the chores of the courtyard to everyone. It was really wrong. I hope Second Madam will punish me."

"It's a good thing that you're getting better. Why should I punish you? Besides, there are several new people in the yard, so they can handle the work. Let Lvliu and Wanxia divide your original work. Go and look for them. If you feel better, you can take it up again. If not, just let them continue to do it. You can do whatever work in the yard you can help with. The old saying is true: it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You're only forty days old now. You should be more careful."

When Chuntao heard this, she looked up in surprise, thinking that what she had just heard in Mother Fan's room was not like this.

Mother Fan told her that Second Madam had divided up all her chores, and that Second Madam would be unhappy that she had come back so late, and would probably not let her do anything anymore. She told her not to worry, and that she would find a way to get her a job.

Chuntao was only looking forward to the movement of her belly. She had been with the man for so long without any rest, more like a married couple than a married couple. When they separated that day, the man seemed to have completed a difficult task, turned around and walked away without even looking at her.

Although it was a temporary measure, after all, the two of them had lived like a married couple for so many days. If they were pregnant, he would be the biological father of the child. But he left as if he was escaping, which really made Chuntao sad. After living together for more than 40 days, it was impossible to say that there was no affection between them.

But then she changed her mind and became happy again, because she didn't have her period this month, so did this mean that she was successful?

Thinking about the message she received from the princess yesterday, saying that she could come back to work, and that everything would be arranged by them, and that she just had to wait. Chuntao was very happy. With the princess's planning, Fan's mother's testimony, and her own belly, she would be able to secure the position of concubine in Qinghe Garden.

Chuntao wanted to say something else, but Meng Wan waved his hand and motioned her to go down.

Mother Kong watched Chuntao walk out with her waist twisted. She squinted her eyes and looked at her for a long time before she said softly, "From what I see, it seems like she is pregnant."

"you sure?"

"I'm not sure. When I was in the Marquis's Mansion, I learned a little from the midwife who often delivered babies. It looks similar."

Meng Wan nodded, "That's great. I just thought that the princess wouldn't bring this up before the New Year. It has to be after the New Year anyway. We don't need to rush, but we have to make arrangements earlier."

"Yes, I asked Wu'er, who was watching Mama Fan, to watch Chuntao together."

Wu'er was the little girl chosen to go to Qinghe Garden this time. She was small, smart, and sweet-mouthed. She was originally planned to stay in the small kitchen. But after Meng Wan saw her, he changed his mind and let Cai'er take her with him. Caixia, who followed Cai'er, was transferred to Dongmei's subordinates.

In this way, Dongmei has two people under her, one is Lvliu and the other is Caixia.

"Has Green Willow been quiet on duty these days?"

"Yes, I have seen that among all the people left in the yard, only Lvliu is still useful. She does her job well and is very careful. She doesn't ask any more questions. Take the case of Miss San's house arrest, for example. Dongmei accompanied you to Junyueju and asked you curiously about what happened that day, but Lvliu didn't even ask."

Meng Wan nodded. It seemed that he was useful.

"Give her a few more tasks. If nothing unexpected happens, let her work in the upper room after the New Year."

Mother Kong knelt down and responded.

Meng Wan took a nap and looked at the cloak made by Dongmei and Shanling.

"It's so beautiful, the material is really good, Master Er is really talented, where did you find it from?" Chuan'er touched it gently.

Mother Kong also laughed and said, "I have been with the Crown Prince's wife for so many years, but I have never seen such material. Look, Second Madam, you can't see anything at first glance, but if you look from different directions, you can see different patterns."

"That's right. If it were to be exposed to the sun, it would be so beautiful." Cai'er said with a sigh.

Meng Wan had no knowledge of clothing materials. In her previous life, she had never been fond of those so-called big brands. She always believed that comfortable clothing was good enough. Unfortunately, there were no pure cotton clothes in ancient times. Of course, the lack of money in her previous life was also one of the reasons.

"The material must be good, and the workmanship must be good. Thank you and Shanling for your hard work. Mother Kong, remember to give them a big gift when you seal the red envelope at the end of the year."

Ever since Chuntao went into the inner room to comb Zhou Yu's hair, Shan Ling has been staring at anyone who comes to the upper room in the washroom next to the main house, like a nail, unless Meng Wan calls her.

When she was making the cloak with Dongmei, there was still someone watching over her, and she was allowed to go into the west room to sew a few stitches.

"Second Madam, please don't say that. No matter how good my work is, it's not as good as the one in the needlework room. I should thank you for not looking down on it. As for Shan Ling, I didn't expect her to be so skillful."

"I didn't expect this. I thought that silly girl could only cook noodles, but I didn't expect that she could actually make clothes. When spring comes, I will definitely ask her to make some spring clothes for me to wear." Cai'er said with a giggle.

"Shan Ling makes noodle soup well, you should learn from her. As a result, Second Master praised your cooking. Now Shan Ling is also good at needlework, why don't you learn from her? Wouldn't it be better if you get reward from Second Master in the future?" Dongmei said with a smile as she put away her cloak.

"That's different. It only takes a stick of incense to make a bowl of noodles. But it's not possible to make clothes. Not to mention the time and effort, I can't stand sitting there all day."

"I'm looking at you. Are you also tempted to run to the outer courtyard? Could it be that something in the outer courtyard is holding you back?" Meng Wan asked Cai'er with a smile.

Cai Er suddenly blushed when she heard this, and she began to stutter, "No, it's not true. Who can trip me up? Second Madam, I don't understand what you mean. I always went there under your orders. Besides, Xue Fu and Seventh Sister were there every time I went there. They can testify that I didn't do anything else."

Meng Wan was stunned at first when he saw Cai'er explaining hurriedly. This girl, why did she say so much just because he was joking? Could it be that there was really something he didn't know?

Chuan'er pushed the door open and came in, rubbing his hands as he said, "The north wind is blowing again. I think it might snow tomorrow. It will be very cold."

"It's strange that the snow fell this year. It fell early, but there was not much snow. If it keeps snowing like this, I'm afraid the crops will be dry next year." After saying this, Mother Kong stood up and called Dongmei, "Let's go to the kitchen and make something hot for Second Master and Second Madam today."

"Don't bring it from the big kitchen. Cook it all at once so you can finish eating earlier and rest earlier." Meng Wan said with a smile.

Dongmei responded crisply, and walked out with Kong's mother one after the other.

Chuan'er walked over to Meng Wan when he felt warm. Looking at Cai'er standing there, not knowing what she was thinking, he asked Meng Wan, "What's wrong with this girl?"

Meng Wan smiled and shook her head, "What are you going to do? It's so cold, just let the little girl run if there's anything. I think these are all good choices by Mama Liu. Since they have entered our courtyard, just send them around openly."

"Second Madam, it's Mrs. Zhong who wants to see me. I just came back from the courtyard at the back corner door."

"Oh? Mrs. Zhong wants to see you? When?" Meng Wan suddenly had a premonition, and she looked at Chuan'er with surprise.

"It was noon."

"what did she say?"

"She said that if the Second Madam wanted to know anything about the accounting office, she could tell her everything. She also said that if she had any errands in the future, she would be at her service."

That’s great, Meng Wan let out a long sigh.

From this point of view, Aunt Huan is also a delicate person.
