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

"Mrs. Zhong said that the prince seemed to have given some banknotes to the eldest young master." Chuan'er said in a low voice.

Meng Wan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and saw that his face was a little sallow. Qingning's medicine was really good. He looked like this after only taking two doses.

"Second Master and I had guessed this a long time ago. I just couldn't understand why the prince favored the eldest master so much. I heard that the eldest sister-in-law was chosen by the prince."

"In my opinion, maybe the prince liked Concubine Li back then? Or maybe the previous princess had no news after giving birth to the eldest daughter, so the prince was happy to have the eldest daughter?"

Meng Wan stood up and said, "Forget it, let's not think about it. That's the prince's money. Even if you don't give it to me, it won't be our turn to use it in Qinghe Garden."

"Does Mrs. Zhong often go to Aunt Huan's place?" Meng Wan asked.

"Yes, it was granted by the prince. Now that Concubine Huan has left Concubine Li's courtyard, the princess has assigned her two maids and four servants. I heard that the two maids are on good terms with Concubine Zhong and can have a say."

"Princess, I really hope that Aunt Huan will have a safe pregnancy." Meng Wan sat down and let Chuan'er put on the little boots for her.

"At least that's the case for now."

"It's just that the information we got from Aunt Huan can't be spread well by Mrs. Zhong like this. Mrs. Zhong is very useful in my second plan, and we must not arouse other people's suspicion." Meng Wan stamped her feet.

"What does Second Madam think of Wu'er?" Chuan'er stood up and asked.

"Wu'er? The short one who's the gatekeeper?"

"Yes, it was Madam Liu who mixed in with the people who were brought in last time. From what I have seen, that girl is very smart and has a very tight tongue."

"You mean to put her in Aunt Huan's place?"

"Yes, I'm thinking that although Mrs. Zhong can bring letters from Concubine Huan now, Concubine Huan will eventually give birth, or maybe the princess will be unhappy one day or the prince will think it's unnecessary and will no longer allow Mrs. Zhong to visit her so often. It would be better to place someone next to Concubine Huan. Given the prince's love for Concubine Huan, maybe a little bit of information she reveals will bring very important information to the Second Master and the Second Mistress."

Meng Wan looked at Chuan'er with admiration, "That's great. I didn't expect you to think so far ahead. What should I do? You're so smart. I can't bear to marry you off."

Chuan'er blushed when she heard this, "Second Madam teased me, talking about Wu'er, how come you brought me into this?"

"Don't worry, you guys are staying with me, I will definitely find a good place for you. This is a good thing, but we need to think carefully about how Wu'er will go to Aunt Huan. You can talk to her privately when you have time, and make sure she agrees."

When Meng Wan arrived at Junyueju, Xie Fen had already arrived with Hong Ge. When she entered the house, she heard Xie Fen laughing and saying, "What the princess said is true. When Concubine Huan gives birth to another son, our house will be even more lively."

Meng Wan looked at the two people who were chatting and laughing freely, and admired them very much. One was more shameless than the other.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Mrs. Hu asked with concern as she looked at Meng Wan, whose face was sallow.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know either. She hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days. She feels very weak all over."

"Don't take your health lightly when you are young. It is a good idea to ask a doctor to check it out later."

"It's okay. I saw that it got warmer a few days ago. I went out for a walk at night and felt the cold wind. I've been drinking ginger water these past two days. What did my sister-in-law say just now? "

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "It seems that Concubine Liu in your eldest brother's courtyard is pregnant. I just told your eldest sister-in-law that if things go well, we will have two children this year. When Brother Hong is added, it will be so lively."

Aunt Liu was the first-class maidservant by Xie Fen's side. She was Liu Ling who had made things difficult for Chuan'er at that time. Last autumn, Xie Fen gave her a favor and made her Zhou Ming's concubine.

"Oh, this is really good news. I'll ask Madam Kong to send a gift to Aunt Liu. Have you decided?"

Xie Fen smiled and said, "Not yet, but her behavior these days is very similar. She throws up everything she eats and says everything she smells smells bad. The maid who serves her said her period has been delayed for almost a month, so I'm afraid she is pregnant."

After that, Xie Fen turned to Mrs. Hu and said, "My daughter-in-law asks the princess to give Aunt Liu a favor. I want to ask the doctor who often comes to the mansion to see patients to come and check it out. What do you think?"

"What's the big deal? It's supposed to be this way. We can arrange it after we're sure of it." After saying this, Mrs. Hu called Mother Hong to bring the pair of cards to invite the doctor.

"Don't we need to ask the doctor from the 'Fushengtang' to take a look? Can Doctor Liu take a look at this?" Meng Wan asked.

"Fushengtang" is a place in Beijing that specializes in protecting and stabilizing pregnancies and delivering babies for female relatives. It is very famous and is usually hired by all the wealthy and powerful families in Beijing.

"Not yet, just a diagnosis, Doctor Liu can do it. Once it's confirmed, we can go to the 'Fushengtang', and we have to take good care of ourselves." Mrs. Hu said with a smile.

Meng Wan nodded. Looking at Xie Fen's happy expression, she really couldn't understand these ancient women. It wasn't their own child. It was shared with another woman as a child of their husband. Why would they be so happy?

Xie Fen looked at Hu who winked at her, pretended not to see it, and called Brother Hong to get him some dried fruit.

Mrs. Hu had no choice but to speak up, "I see that you don't look very well. Why don't we let Doctor Liu take a look?"

Meng Wan waved her hand, "No, it's nothing, I'll just have a good sleep later."

"No, it's the transition from winter to spring when you are most likely to get sick. It's settled, my eldest daughter-in-law, send someone to bring Aunt Liu to Junyueju, so that Doctor Liu won't have to walk around."

Xie Fen turned around and instructed Chu'er, looking past Meng Wan with a look of anticipation for a good show.

Meng Wan was very happy and was thinking about how to get Mrs. Hu to find a doctor to check her at Junyueju and expose the matter. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hu was more anxious than her, thinking that she would soon take off her cotton clothes and change into spring clothes, and Chuntao's belly might not be able to be concealed anymore.

"Second sister and third sister haven't finished school yet?" Meng Wan asked.

Mrs. Hu hired a nanny for Zhou Yingning in the first month of the lunar year, so it would be a shame not to let Zhou Yinghan go with her. As for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Hu knew that Zhou Yingning had no hope of marrying into the Duke Zhongguo's mansion, so she simply picked out a few families that were interested in Zhou Yingning.

Seeing that she had given up the idea of ​​letting Zhou Yingning marry into the Duke Zhongguo's mansion, Zhou Yiheng stroked his beard and made arrangements for her. He ordered that the marriages of the two daughters must be settled this year, and that no matter what Zhou Yingning studied, Mrs. Hu must bring Zhou Yinghan up.

"It will be soon. Maybe it's the nanny who is waiting for the arrival of the emperor." Mrs. Hu said.

After a while, Chu'er came back and reported that Aunt Liu was waiting in the ear room.

Just as she finished speaking, a message came from outside, and the two young ladies came in. Zhou Yingning was the first to enter the house, "Mom, I see the snow is almost melted, when my third brother comes back, let him take me and sister Jing out for a spring outing, how about that?"

Sister Jing is Hu's niece, the daughter of the second wife, Li, and the only legitimate daughter of the Hu family. She is very much loved by Hu.

"Nonsense, the weather is still cold even after the snow melted. Haven't you heard of 'cover up in spring and keep cool in autumn'? It means you should go out less in spring." Mrs. Hu took her daughter's hand and said, "Look, you've only walked a short distance and it's already frozen. It's spring time and there's not even a blade of grass growing outside."

Seeing that Zhou Yingning didn't respond, Zhou Yinghan stepped forward to greet her. Mrs. Hu nodded, looking like a loving mother, "Is your aunt feeling better?"

"Yes, I'm much better, but I still feel a little dizzy. I don't dare to come over to pay my respects to the princess, for fear of passing on the illness."

Mrs. Li fell ill after the end of the first month of the lunar year and was said to have caught a cold.

"You go to see her every day even though you're afraid of getting sick. Aren't you afraid that you'll get infected and pass it on to us?" Zhou Yingning said dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Yinghan stood there with a red face, not knowing how to respond.

"How did third sister know that second sister went to see Concubine Li? Those servants won't run errands and mimic what others say." Meng Wan said with a smile.

When Zhou Yingning saw Meng Wan answering, she rolled her eyes but rarely said anything back. Instead, she turned around and acted coquettishly towards Hu, "Mom, can I go to Princess Yong'an's birthday in June?"

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious about June? Besides, if the princess invites you, can you not go?"

"I'm just afraid that Princess Fanghua will go too." Zhou Yingning really had a psychological trauma from the night Fanghua tortured her.

"Well, by June, everyone will have forgotten about this matter. Besides, everyone knows that it wasn't your fault. Didn't the Queen and Princess Yong'an also send you rewards?"

"Mom, I just..." Before Zhou Yingning could finish her words, the voice of Doctor Liu arrived from outside.
