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

After putting the medicine away, Chuan'er went into the east room. Zhou Yu and Meng Wan were sitting on the big kang, playing checkers on the table across the kang.

They had never seen or even heard of this game of checkers before. It was their second grandmother who taught them. It was quite interesting.

Second grandma knows a lot of new things. For example, starting from the end of last year, second grandma taught second grandpa English. Those symbols don’t look like symbols, and those words don’t look like words, but when they are combined together, they have special meanings.

At first, the second master refused to learn, saying that what the second grandmother wrote looked like scribbles. But the second grandmother forced him to learn, saying that it was a secret code for the two of them to communicate, and that it could not only be written but also spoken. Chuan'er wanted to laugh when he heard the second master rolling his tongue and following the second grandmother's example.

"Second Master, Second Madam, I am back."

Chuan'er walked to the table on the kang, picked up the teapot on the table and refilled the tea for the two of them, "Second Madam, I just saw someone in the medicine shop, and he looked very familiar."

Meng Wan raised the chess piece and looked up at Chuan'er, "Who? Which pharmacy did you go to to get the medicine?"

"Yes......"

"Second Master, Second Madam, the princess is here." Shan Ling's voice came from outside.

Zhou Yu wiped the chessboard and sneered, "How impatient."

As soon as the two of them reached the door of the main room, Mrs. Hu came in holding Mrs. Hong's hand.

Meng Wan quickly bowed to Hu and helped her over. "Why did the princess come here in person? If you have anything to say, just call Second Master and your daughter-in-law."

"This matter is very important. I think I should come here to explain it clearly." After saying that, he said to the back, "You come in too."

Chuntao followed in, holding the corner of her clothes.

"Chun Tao? What's wrong with you? Where have you been?" Meng Wan asked.

"Your servant, your servant..." Chuntao said nothing else, but just looked up at Hu.

Mrs. Hu sat down in the armchair at the head of the main hall. "No need to ask her. I'll speak for her."

Zhou Yu sat on the right, "But the girl in my courtyard got into trouble?"

Mrs. Hu waved her hand, signaling Meng Wan, "You sit down too. This is a long story. I will tell you slowly."

Meng Wan sat opposite Zhou Yu and looked at Hu with confusion.

"Get Chuntao an embroidery stool. She can't stand for long."

When Chun Tao heard this, she smiled, but when she looked up, she saw Zhou Yu's cold face and shook her head quickly, "I dare not, I will just stand there."

"Listen to me, you can stand, but the baby in your belly can't."

Meng Wan stood up and asked, "What child? Chuntao has a child?"

"Yes, Chuntao is pregnant. She should be more than four months pregnant. It depends on what the doctor says. But it's too late today. I'll ask the doctor to come and see her tomorrow."

"You, what's going on with you? Whose child is this?" Meng Wan looked at Chuntao with a stern voice.

Mrs. Hu did not speak, but looked at Zhou Yu. She saw that Zhou Yu's initial surprise turned into deep thought, and then he seemed to understand something. She was delighted. Hum, this was something she was not sure about. This was good. There would be testimony from Mother Fan later. Zhou Yu had to recognize the child whether he wanted to or not.

"Who else could it be? Second daughter-in-law, think about it. She is just a maid in the inner house. She rarely goes out of the house except when she goes home. Who could she be?" Mrs. Hu said with a smile.

"What do you mean, princess?"

"I told you, it's been more than four months, plus the month of pregnancy, that's more than five months, almost six months ago, Chuntao was taken away by someone. At that time, let me think about it, it was like my second daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home, right?"

"What does the princess want to say?" Zhou Yu said coldly.

"It's not what I want to say, it's what the Second Master did?" Mrs. Hu said with a smile.

"Please tell me clearly, Princess. If you have something to say, just say it." Meng Wan said anxiously.

Mrs. Hu put away her smile and sighed, "The child Chuntao is pregnant with is Brother Yu's. It was one night when everyone was fast asleep and Mother Fan twisted her waist again. Chuntao had no choice but to serve Brother Yu herself."

"You are talking nonsense."

"impossible"

The couple said in unison.

"How is it impossible? Just calculate the time, how can it be wrong?" Mrs. Hu was a little unhappy.

Chun Tao knelt down gently and kowtowed to Zhou Yu. "Second Master, I lied that day. Second Master was drunk and gave me, gave me... The next day, Second Master warned me not to tell anyone, but I didn't dare. Second Master, do you really not remember? Second Master..."

Zhou Yu stood up and raised his foot to kick Chuntao. Mother Hong stepped forward and said, "Second Master, be careful. Chuntao is pregnant with your son."

"Nonsense, when did I adopt her? That's not true."

"Second Master, how can you deny it? Originally, I didn't dare to tell you, but you hurt me and I went home to recuperate for so long. When I came back, the weather was cold and I had to wear winter clothes. In addition, I didn't know I was sick because of my irregular schedule. I thought I hadn't had a proper job since I came back, so maybe I got fat.

"It's just that it's been warm these past few days, and I've changed into spring clothes, but my belly is getting bigger and bigger. That's why I'm panicking. It was only when Madam Fan saw me eating sour horn cakes and asked me a question today that I dared to tell her."

"Mother Fan?" Meng Wan asked.

Chun Tao turned to Meng Wan again, "Yes, Madam Fan, the Second Madam, she can testify that the child in my belly is the Second Master's."

"Call Mother Fan in." Zhou Yu shouted loudly.

Mrs. Hu sat there, took a sip of tea, and looked at the three people talking proudly. "Not bad, let's see how you, Zhou Yu, can fight me this time. You registered a bastard's son as a legitimate son. Haha, just this one thing, you have already been defeated by my son."

By tomorrow when the news that the Second Wife of Prince Shen's Mansion is infertile spreads throughout the capital, Meng Wan will have no choice but to keep his head down and live his life as a human being in the rear house.

After a while, Madam Fan came into the room. After a round of greetings, Mrs. Hu said without further ado, "Do you remember the day when you and Chuntao served the Second Master? Tell me in detail."

Mother Fan glanced at Chun Tao who was kneeling on the ground. She wanted to reach out to help her up but stopped. After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't know what the princess is asking."

"I just want to ask you, was Chuntao accepted by the Second Master that night?"

Mother Fan looked up at Zhou Yu, who was looking at her with a frown on his face, looking unhappy.

She turned her head to look at Meng Wan again. Meng Wan looked worried, and there was even a hint of warning and fierceness in his eyes.

Mother Fan made up her mind and said, "Yes."

"You're talking nonsense, that's impossible." Zhou Yu walked up to Fan's mother and said.

"Second Master, I didn't lie to you."

"Then why didn't you say it then?" Meng Wan stood up angrily, his hands shaking.

When Mother Fan saw Meng Wan who was so angry, she suddenly felt relieved and her words became more and more fluent.

"Second Master, you were drunk, of course you don't remember. I can guarantee that Chun Tao was indeed taken in by you that day."

"Do you dare to swear on the famous saying of the late princess?" Meng Wan asked.

Mother Fan was stunned, and Chuntao quickly stood up with the help of the table, "Mom, you have to tell the truth." Then she touched her belly with her hand.

Mother Fan closed her eyes and said firmly, "I dare you, I swear that the child in Chuntao's belly is Second Master's. After Chuntao was taken in by Second Master that day, I helped her clean up. Second Master was drunk and hurt Chuntao, so she went back to rest for such a long time."

Mrs. Hu nodded proudly, "No wonder, I was wondering why you took so long to rest after just a fall, so that's why."

After saying that, she stood up and took Meng Wan's hand. "I know you don't like it, but this is a good thing for you now. You should also be more open-minded. Although the doctor said that you can get pregnant in five or eight years if you take care of yourself, what if you can't get pregnant? You have lived in such an environment since you were a child. The coldness in your body is not a one-day or two-day thing. If you ask me, just be generous and let Chuntao give birth to this child safely. Even if she doesn't give birth now, in the future, can you stop the concubines and maids around Yu Ge from giving birth?"

Meng Wan stood there blankly, letting Hu hold her hand and talk nonstop.

Zhou Yu sat back in his chair in frustration, shaking his head, "How is that possible? I didn't feel anything at all."

"Second Master, you drank too much that day. When I helped you into the house, you mistook me for Second Madam." Once the lie is told, the rest will come naturally.

"Okay, okay, this is a happy event. I will make the decision today. Find a good day and make Chuntao your concubine. When she gives birth to a child, if it's a girl, that's fine. If it's a boy, I will take him to raise as your own. After a few years, if you still can't give birth, I will simply register him as your legitimate son. He grew up with you, so he will naturally be close to you. Let Chuntao help you take care of the affairs of Qinghe Garden, and you just need to teach the child well."

When Chuntao heard this, she wanted to shout with excitement. Her son could become the eldest son of the second house, and she could also be in charge of the second house's affairs. This was too exciting.
