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

Zhou Yiheng really didn't want to say anything more to Zhou Yu, and said unhappily, "Starting tomorrow, come and pay your respects to me. Although your mother is not feeling well these days, so you are exempted from paying your respects, you can't really do that."

He glanced at his sons again and said, "It's the end of the year now. Don't worry about the five days or the five days. You guys should come every day and take up the responsibilities for what you should do."

After saying that, he went to see Mrs. Hu again, "Don't think about this or that. If you feel sorry for them, you should look at what the matter is. How can such a thing be changed? Look at what has become of them one by one because of your kindness."

Zhou Ming stood up first and bowed his hands in response. Zhou Yu fiddled with the jade ring on his left thumb without saying anything, while Zhou Zheng sat there smiling and nodding. Zhou Qin, after being gently pushed by Yu, loudly responded.

Zhou Yiheng went to see Zhou Yingning again. Zhou Yingning, who had just been watching the excitement with a smile on her face, twisted her body unnaturally when she saw her father looking at her, and said, "Dad, I'm learning from the foster nanny every day."

"That's right. Only by learning more can one understand things. How is Yinghan doing?"

Zhou Yinghan raised her head when she heard Zhou Yiheng calling her name. When Mrs. Hu heard it, she also sat up straight and looked at her without emotion.

Zhou Yinghan stood up and said, "Father, I am not as smart as my third sister. I have only learned the basics."

"It's fine to learn a little bit from this foster nanny first. After the New Year, when the maids in the palace are released, we can just let her live in our house permanently. Even if they are not needed after they get married, we won't have to look for a maid when another child is born."

When Mrs. Hu heard her say that the baby was born, she naturally thought of the one in Xiaohuan's belly. She secretly hated her. She really didn't expect that Xiaohuan would make the prince so concerned. Although she didn't plan to abort the child, Zhou Yiheng's protection was not conducive to her future plans. She hoped that Xiaohuan would have the blessing to give birth to a daughter.

However, Zhou Yinghan was smart and did not complain to the prince. He did not ask her to go to the nanny. Humph, I don't think she would dare to do that.

Li stood in the corner, complaining for her daughter. The princess made the third daughter learn mostly about preparing for marriage, and how to get along with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law when she goes to her husband's house. This means that the princess has started to look for a man for the third daughter, no, maybe she has found a good man.

But the second young lady had no news at all. Last time, the prince finally came to rest in her room for a night, and she asked a question from the side, which made the prince unhappy. He said that marriage was a big deal and it was the parents who made the decision. When would it be the turn of a concubine to ask questions?

Yes, aunt, although I am a concubine to outsiders, in their eyes, I am just an aunt.

Just like that, with just one word from Zhou Yiheng, everyone had to come early to pay their respects to Mrs. Hu.

------

That day, Meng Wan took off his cloak and stood beside the warming basket in the central hall to warm his hands. He heard Mrs. Hu's slightly weak voice coming from the east room, "You are right, but I am not fully recovered yet. Maybe it is because it is particularly cold this year. I didn't have such a headache or fever in previous years."

Xie Fen said, "I'm really too busy... and Brother Hong is not feeling well. To be honest with you, Princess, the incident really scared the child. He took medicine and burned talismans. He was fine during the day, but started crying at night. He didn't look for anyone else but me. Sigh..."

Meng Wan lifted the curtain with a smile on her face and came in, only to see Zhou Yiheng was there too. It was rare to see him in Junyue Residence so early in the morning, so perhaps he had stayed here the day before.

She did not respond, but only greeted Zhou Yiheng and Hu, and asked about her health as usual.

When Xie Fen saw Meng Wan coming in, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to Hu and said, "Second brother and sister-in-law have come at the right time. Mother, why don't you give them one or two dishes to practice with?"

Hu was angry when she heard Xie Fen grabbing Zhou Yingning and causing Hongge to fall down. She thought that because of this, Zhou Yingning was not only confined, but she also gave him many good things. Xie Fen also took advantage of this opportunity to take Zhou Yiheng to see him more often, under the pretext that Hongge missed his grandfather. Every time she went, Li was there. Naturally, after seeing him, Zhou Yiheng was invited to her yard by Li.

Seeing Meng Wan coming in, she endured it. Business was more important. Because she wanted to trick Meng Wan today, she deliberately did not let anyone else come, and also chose the day when Zhou Yiheng was in the inner courtyard.

Moreover, she had to use Xie Fen to help her play this role, and she would make all the plans after she had taken Meng Wan down.

Over there, Xie Fen held Meng Wan's hand and was adding and subtracting the numerous year-end affairs inside and outside the mansion. It happened that Hong Ge'er was sick again at this time, and she could only take care of this but not the other. She was thinking of sharing some of the work with Meng Wan, and was discussing it with the princess.

Meng Wan acted terrified, "I can't do that. To be honest with the princess and sister-in-law, when I was at my mother's house, I went down the mountain late and discussed marriage with the second master. During that time, I only learned the rules and regulations. I didn't learn much about being the head of the family. You can see that if I had that ability, my courtyard would still be like this? I am worried about the small Qinghe Garden, and Mother Fan is also sick at this time, so how can she manage the affairs of the mansion."

After saying that, he took two steps forward and said to Mrs. Hu, "I think both Madam Hong and Madam Xie beside my eldest sister-in-law are capable. It's OK to let them do it."

"You are talking nonsense again. How can we let the servants handle such a big event at the end of the year?" Mrs. Hu supported Mother Hong's hand and sat up straight, smiling, "I really didn't think of this. I thought that since you just came into the family, I would let you relax for two years, and then let you slowly take over the chores in the mansion after you give birth to a child, and I can enjoy the happiness of being a daughter-in-law.

"I didn't expect that because of my illness, a lot of things would fall on Xie's shoulders. I didn't think it through."

After Xie Fen heard what Hu said, she also stood up quickly, "Princess, please don't say that. It was really Brother Hong's accident..."

Mrs. Hu didn't like to hear her bringing up Brother Hong again. Originally, they had agreed that she would pretend to be sick and Xie Fen would just use being busy as an excuse.

But she probably saw that the prince was here, and she mentioned Brother Hong again and again, so that the prince would remember why Brother Hong suffered this loss. It was really annoying. Forget it, I'll let you jump around first, and when I've completely dealt with Zhou Yu and his wife, you'll be the next one.

Mrs. Hu took Meng Wan's hand and said with a smile, "If you don't know how to do it, then learn it. No one is born with the ability. My wife doesn't have time to teach you, so mother will teach you. You are so smart, I'm sure you will learn it right away. At the end of the year, the affairs of the mansion will follow the old routine. If you don't understand, just ask me and your sister-in-law. You just need to sit there and wait for the maid to tell you."

Meng Wan raised his head and glanced at Zhou Yiheng, only to see Zhou Yiheng stroking his beard and looking at Hu with a gratified expression, his eyes showing great satisfaction.

This Mrs. Hu was too clever. She not only schemed against herself, but also trapped Xie Fen, and even won the prince's praise in return.

Meng Wan wanted to refuse, but just as she opened her mouth, Zhou Yiheng stood up and said, "Since your mother said so, just do it. It's not a difficult thing. As your mother said, there are old precedents in previous years, and there are also old women who are used to doing it. At the very least, if you don't understand, just come and ask. You've been married for almost four months, you should learn these things, otherwise the second brother will complain to your mother for not giving you a chance. Don't let him bother me again during the New Year."

"Your Highness, A Yu has made great progress since he got married. I think he will not do anything to make you unhappy this year." Hu held Meng Wan's hand, watched Zhou Yiheng stand up, and quickly took the cloak handed to her by the maid.

"Well, I haven't seen any progress, just don't get me into trouble. Don't you know what happened last time?"

Mrs. Hu put a cloak on Zhou Yiheng. "Your Highness, are you talking about playing ice hockey with the youngest son of the Right Deputy Censor of the Censorate?"

"I'm so angry. This kid actually made a bet with the Li family kid to see who can hit the ball into a moving carriage?"

"Ah? Brother Yu, Brother Yu, doesn't he know that it is the carriage of the Rui Palace?"

"How would I know whether he knew it or not? Anyway, he did it. Fortunately, it was not Prince Rui sitting in the car at that time. If the prince was really beaten, even if Prince Rui had a good temper, he is still a prince. This, this..." Zhou Yiheng waved his hand and walked out.

Xie Fen and Meng Wan both bowed and said goodbye. When passing by Meng Wan, Zhou Yiheng sighed, "Learn from your mother and sister-in-law. If you can't even manage your own yard, how can you manage the household in the future? Also, the second son has a stubborn temper. Although he may not listen to you, you still have to persuade him. As the saying goes, a good wife and a good husband bring less trouble."

Meng Wan lowered his head even more and responded softly with a "yes".
