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

"It's not night time, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just come back for our family dinner. As for who you're meeting, keep it a secret for now. We're going out tomorrow because we want to see Third Brother Yue off in advance. His departure time was scheduled many days in advance, and he's busy with other things. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to get together like this again." Zhou Yu's voice was filled with deep sadness.

Meng Wan stood up and walked to Zhou Yu, gently holding his head in her arms. Yue Zhen was both a teacher and a friend to Zhou Yu. He was also Zhou Yu's elder brother, protecting him and thinking about him. Zhou Yu was used to thinking of Yue Zhen first when something happened, and sometimes even Xu Cheng had to step back.

“All good things must come to an end, and it’s not like we’ll never see each other again. Our separation today is for a better meeting tomorrow.”

Zhou Yu raised his head and said softly, "Today's separation is for a better meeting tomorrow..." Suibian smiled and said, "That's right, my lady, you are so talented. How did you come up with such a wonderful sentence?"

Meng Wan chuckled, "I told you that you married a treasure, but you still don't believe it."

"When did I stop believing? I always believed in my vision. I am the most far-sighted person in the Great Xia Dynasty. Hehe. And do you know why you are so smart?"

"why?"

"That's because I've served you well. All my good things have been used to irrigate your fields."

Meng Wan didn't react at first. What a mess. She saw Zhou Yu glancing towards the inner room, her face suddenly turned red with shame. She pressed Zhou Yu's legs hard, then turned and left the bathroom.

Zhou Yu was pushed by Meng Wan, and his feet stepped into the hot water, causing him to utter "Ouch".

After Zhou Yu showed off his watering skills, he lazily held Meng Wan in his arms. Meng Wan's whole body was hanging on Zhou Yu, and the two naked people were very close.

"Is everything done with Brother Wu?"

"Don't worry, you've seen Brother Wu's abilities, so this little thing won't be a problem." Zhou Yu began to play with Meng Wan's hair again.

"When do you think the princess will have an attack?"

"If I guess correctly, tomorrow is the Little New Year and there will be a lot of people here. She should not miss this opportunity." Zhou Yu said casually.

"I think so too. I hope our guess is correct and we can respond appropriately."

"Don't worry, even if we make a mistake, it doesn't matter if she's proud for once."

"What a pity! I put so much effort into the accounting office, but I didn't expect..."

"It's not in vain. The harvest is huge now. Having Mrs. Zhong at your disposal will only be beneficial to our future plans." Zhou Yu patted Meng Wan's smooth shoulders comfortingly.

"That's right. Compared to the little account at the end of the year, my mother's dowry book is the highlight. Now I'm just waiting for her to make a move."

"What? Are you all ready?"

"Not yet, but almost there. Xueyan is really good. She got the book out right under the noses of Guan Wei and Fuchun. Of course, it was all thanks to Mrs. Zhong's cover."

Zhou Yu chuckled, "Isn't it unbecoming?"

"I haven't read it yet. Time is tight. Let Seventh Sister finish copying first, and then slowly take a look at what good things mother has left for you."

"Yes, mother left behind so many good things. The farm and the shop, which one doesn't make money? Haha, I'm looking forward to the day when Mrs. Hu will hand over mother's dowry to you to manage."

"Don't worry, I can always help you vent your anger and make the princess spit out the silver."

------

Sitting in the carriage, Meng Wan thought about the moment Zhou Yu proposed to take her out at Junyueju, and how Mrs. Hu was surprised, Zhou Yiheng was angry, Xie Fen was envious, Zhou Zheng was contemptuous, and Zhou Yingning was disdainful. It was really as exciting as a dye vat.

When Prince Zhou heard that his second son was going out for the New Year, he first said in dissatisfaction, "It's the end of the year, and there are so many things to do. What important things do you have to go out at this time?"

"We don't have any responsibility for this whole bunch of work. Meng has done everything the princess gave her. Could it be that the princess has something else important for her to do? Does she need to give out the year-end bonus?"

After Madam Hu glared at Zhou Yu, she immediately changed her attitude, "Your Highness, if Brother Yu wants to go, then go ahead. Brother Ming and his wife will have to take care of the household affairs. Besides, Yingning has been able to take care of many things since she learned the rules from the nanny. It doesn't matter if we are a little tired, but we can't delay Brother Yu's important event. He must have something important to do when he chooses such an important day to go out in such a hurry."

Zhou Yiheng said unhappily, "If you don't give me a reason today, just stay at home. Whose mother-in-law is so busy at the end of the year that she can't sleep well, but her daughter-in-law is out shopping."

Meng Wan greeted Zhou Yiheng in her heart, it’s your son who wants to go out for a walk, why are you taking me with you?

But she had to cooperate. After hearing this, she stood up in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know that the Second Master was going out. I just heard him say that."

Zhou Ming smiled slightly, "Where are you going, second brother? Do you need your sister-in-law to arrange a car?"

Zhou Yu stood up and brushed his clothes. "No need. Actually, it's nothing. I originally thought that today is the Little New Year, so I didn't need to say some things. I was afraid of disturbing everyone, especially the princess's good mood. But you keep asking me. Well, I want to take Meng to see my mother."

When Zhou Yiheng heard him mention Wang, he frowned in displeasure. Why mention a dead person during the New Year?

Hu's face darkened. What bad idea did Zhou Yu have? Why did he move Wang out during the New Year's Eve?

"I actually had a dream last night. Mother came to look for me and said that the room was cold and there were not enough charcoal basins. I thought that I should go and take a look. Mother told me that if I didn't go and she got cold again, it would be bad if she went back to find the prince or princess. In this new year, if you two are scared again, it would be my mother's fault."

Hu really wanted to slap him twice. What did she mean by scared? It was as if she had done something wrong. Although Wang's death was indeed her fault, she had never even dreamed of her shadow in all these years. It was obvious that Wang was a coward and didn't dare to come to look for her.

However, hearing Zhou Yu say this, I felt uncomfortable.

Zhou Yiheng was stunned at first, then waved his hand, "Okay, go ahead. It's just a holiday today. Come back early and don't let your family wait for you."

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, just walked out. Meng Wan bowed to everyone and followed him.

Passing by Zhou Ming, Zhou Yu tilted his head and smiled, "I just saw that big brother really wants to help, why don't you help me get some paper money? Then I will tell mother that it was given to her by her eldest son. She will definitely be happy. Who knows, she may come to see you or Brother Hong in the evening."

"You, what are you talking about?" Zhou Ming's smiling face was cold. Xie Fen paused while holding Hong Ge's hand, raised her head and gave Meng Wan a fierce look.

------

"Why did you target your eldest brother? But what did he do?" Meng Wan leaned on Zhou Yu and asked softly.

"Humph, just give him a beating."

"how?"

"Mr. Lin's people discovered that something was wrong with Xie Qingzhong recently."

"Xie Qingzhong? Sister-in-law's father?"

"Well, the man his youngest daughter is planning to marry is a young master from the Hong family. He has a wealthy family and is a scholar."

Meng Wan thought about it, yes, Hu Shi did mention it once, Xie Qingzhong's youngest daughter is Xie Fen's younger sister, but she is a concubine's daughter. But because she is Xie Qingzhong's daughter born in his old age, and the youngest in Xie Fen's life, and because she is a daughter and poses no threat, Xie Fen's mother loves her very much and raises her like a legitimate daughter.

Meng Wan was very surprised about the Xie family. Xie Qingzhong was the Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion, and to put it bluntly, he was the one who assisted the crown prince. But at this time, he went to the Princess Jing's family to look for a son-in-law for his youngest daughter. What was his plan?

"What does he mean by this? Isn't he trying to have two feet in one relationship?"

"Hmph, he is short-sighted. He may have other ideas because he sees that the prince is not valued by the emperor and is weak and sickly. But he is too anxious. He must wait and see whether Liang Liangdi's baby is a boy or a girl."

Meng Wan knew a little about the situation in the Prince's Mansion. The prince had been taking medicine since he was a child because of his weak body. If he had not been born into an imperial family, he would have died long ago. It was said that he had been getting better for a while, and his body was strong, and he took less medicine, but because of the death of the late queen, he became angry and fell ill again.

Although he and the Crown Princess have been married for more than ten years, they only have one daughter. There are many women in the Crown Prince's house, but none of them are active. The Crown Princess did not dare to go too far. After all, the Crown Prince is weak. Even if she has more women, it will be useless if the Crown Prince has no strength to work. She can't let this cause the Crown Prince to suffer.

Unexpectedly, this summer, one of the prince's favored palace maids unexpectedly became pregnant. This was a great joyous event for the prince's mansion, and she was immediately promoted to a concubine. Now all they had to do was wait for the fruit to fall in love next year.

"Who's here today? Are they the same people as last time? Will my eldest sister come too? Who do you want me to meet? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Zhou Yu chuckled, "Well, come on, don't worry, you will know in a while."

Meng Wan sat up straight. She had a hunch that the person she was going to meet today must be an important figure who was related to the person Zhou Yu and the others were following.
