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

Looking at Mother Fan who was kneeling on the ground and crying like a tearful person, Zhou Yu's livid face softened a little, "Get up, although you said everything for me, you also need to know whether you really helped me. Do you think that Chuntao's matter is really for my own good? You help the princess to slap Second Madam in the face like this, and I will look good? Even if Second Madam is really infertile, I can't record Chuntao's child in her name as the legitimate son. Chuntao is Hu's person. If I let her son become my legitimate son, tell me, what can I use to fight Hu, and how can I compete with Zhou Zheng?"

Mother Fan raised her head, her eyes full of helplessness.

Zhou Yu sighed and continued, "If you had told me in private, I would definitely not keep Chuntao's child. Even if I were to find a legitimate son for Second Madam, I would have chosen Second Madam's dowry or found a clean one from outside, and it would be proper to raise the child with the mother. Moreover, I would have told the outside world that Second Madam's illness was cured and the child was hers. In this way, I could really compete with Zhou Zheng, do you understand?"

Mother Fan shook her head, "Old slave..."

"You are not helping me by doing this. You are helping the princess and Zhou Zheng. They are eagerly waiting for you to testify for Chuntao. They are eagerly watching the second wife unable to give birth but unable to do anything to Chuntao. They are in need of someone like you, and you just happened to show up. Ha... If my mother knew you were doing this, she would jump out and strangle you to death."

Mother Fan seemed to have come to her senses, and thinking about what Zhou Yu had just said about Meng Wan's marriage, it seemed that she was too anxious and did not give Meng Wan time to adapt, and only asked her to do what she wanted. At the same time, she also put herself in a higher position. Zhou Yu was right, she was his wet nurse, not the second wife's.

"Second Master, I know I was wrong, what should I do now? How about I go and tell the prince that you didn't take Chuntao that day? No, but Chuntao was clearly pregnant, and you took her, what should I say?"

Zhou Yu closed his eyes, not wanting to say anything more. "After all, you don't trust me and Second Grandma. Forget it, you don't have to say anything. I'll let Mother Kong accompany you back to the back street in a while. Pack up your things and don't leave anything behind. Go find your son. Live well with your brother in the future. If I have the final say in this palace in two or three years, I will send someone to pick you up."

"What? Second Master, are you going to chase me away? No, I won't leave. I promised Princess that I will always be by your side." Mother Fan knelt to Zhou Yu's feet, put her hands on Zhou Yu's knees and shook her head.

"I'm not driving you away, but I don't need you right now. Not only can you not help me, but you'll also cause me trouble. I might as well tell you a fact today, that is, my Second Madam and I are not as you see us. We are very good. My Second Madam is devoted to me, and I like her very much. Do you understand?"

Mother Fan was stunned. What did the Second Master say? How could it be possible that he liked the Second Mistress? He obviously didn't like the Second Mistress.

"Listen to me, go back and pack up. I'll have Second Grandma arrange for someone to accompany you for the next few days. Don't see anyone. Wait until I finish the arrangements, and someone will send you out."

Zhou Yu stood up after he finished speaking, bent down and helped Mother Fan up, "If you really love me, when you leave later, you can just start to curse me, saying things like Second Grandma can't tolerate you, understand?"

Mother Fan stood up, but because she knelt for a long time, she was not standing steadily, so Zhou Yu quickly supported her. Seeing the wrinkles and red eyes of Mother Fan, Zhou Yu sighed, "You know, I will not let anything happen to you, not even a little bit of accident. You are the only person my mother left for me. If I can't protect you, I will not have the face to burn incense to my mother. But you are by my side now, you can't help me anymore, you will only cause trouble, and the princess will use you to deal with me. The girl who serves you, Chuntao, and the one who gave you medicine, even Hewen, may all be the princess's people. This is a trap they set for you. So, you must go, understand?"

Mother Fan looked at Zhou Yu blankly with a wooden face, and for a long time she trembled, "Second Master, I don't know. I really don't know."

Zhou Yu patted Mother Fan's shoulder and said gently, "It's okay, it's okay, you didn't make a big mistake. On the contrary, you helped me and Second Grandma with this matter. Don't worry, Second Grandma and I don't blame you. As I said before, you go to your brother's place first and take good care of him. I promise you that I will take you back in three years at the latest, okay?"

Mother Fan touched her forehead to Zhou Yu's arm and nodded while crying, "I know, I know, I'm leaving. As long as Second Master is well, I'm willing to do anything."

"Okay, okay, don't worry. In my heart, you will always be the mother Fan who applied medicine to my wound and blew on it, saying that Erlang didn't feel any pain."

"I'll let Mother Kong and Shan Ling accompany her these days." Meng Wan handed Zhou Yu a handkerchief soaked in warm water.

Zhou Yu opened it and put it on her face without wiping it off. She just kept it like that. "Well, she originally wanted to kowtow to you and say sorry, but I didn't agree. The play has to be performed in full to be convincing." There was a strong sense of tears in her voice.

"It's not easy for her to understand."

"Although she is a little confused and even a little stupid, she always thinks about me. Even if she hasn't figured it out, she is willing to do it as long as it makes me happy."

Meng Wan stepped forward and gently hugged Zhou Yu, whose shoulders were slightly shaking, and placed her chin on top of his head. "I know, I know, she will come back. When the time comes, let her look after the child for us, okay?"

"Okay." Zhou Yu put down the towel, hugged Meng Wan's waist and buried his head in her arms.

It was not until Meng Wan felt that Zhou Yu had calmed down that she told him about He Wen.

Zhou Yu raised her head. He Wen was the one who didn't like to talk much in the courtyard. Compared with Lvliu, she was quieter, didn't ask too much about everything, and didn't get too close. She just did what was arranged, and was very perceptive.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Do you believe my guess, too?"

"Of course, Hu has no better method than this one."

Meng Wan picked up the handkerchief that Zhou Yu had just taken down and walked to the basin to rub it bit by bit. "Ayu, I want you to find out more about the man named Shi Jian, including the medicine shop."

"Well, what are you going to do about it, Hewen? Do you need a confrontation?"

Meng Wan shook her head. "No, it's not time to alert the enemy yet. He Wen doesn't know that we have discovered this yet. We can't let her take advantage of Mother Fan in vain. We have to use her once. I have an idea..."

Zhou Yu nodded and smiled after hearing this. "This is a good idea. Force Hu to take action. I think once this is done, we will have the evidence we want."

As the two were talking, they heard Mother Fan's loud cursing from outside. It was all about Meng Wan and was very unpleasant to hear.

"Oh? So, our Second Madam is really angry?" Mrs. Hu smiled and stretched out her hand to look at the nails that the maid had just dyed for her. The dark red color was like dried blood.

"Yes, the girl said that after you left, the second master got angry and scolded Madam Fan. Madam Fan had just returned to the house with a lot of anger, and Madam Kong came and asked Madam Fan to pack her luggage and go back to the back street immediately, saying that she should go back to rest for a few days and she didn't need to do the work in the yard anymore."

"Haha, this is because they are angry but dare not vent it on Chuntao, so Mother Fan has become the punching bag."

"That's right. Madam Fan was being watched by Madam Kong's spirit while she was packing up. The little girl wanted to help but was not allowed to. It took two incense sticks to pack up everything. Madam Fan was shouting in the yard that she wanted to see the Second Master, but the Second Master didn't see her. It was said that she started scolding as soon as she came out of the room and continued to scold all the way to the gate."

Mrs. Hu nodded proudly, "Chun Tao has done a great job. You should do what you promised her brother and sister. You must let her sing well in the future. It's a pity that Mrs. Meng was so impatient. If you had kept Mother Fan for a few more days, Chun Tao would have been able to help."

Mother Hong smiled and said, "The princess is famous for her reputation. She caught them off guard. I think the second master is embarrassed now. After a few days, he will recover. Who knows how much he will value the baby in Chuntao's belly."

"That's right. If Chuntao is willing to do her best, she will give birth to a son, and let our Second Master raise a son for others. Haha, we can wait for the day when we need him and find the child's biological father. I think it will be so exciting if that day really comes."

"Don't worry, Princess. That day will come. The Third Young Master has made all the arrangements for that person."

Mrs. Hu nodded. After it became clear that it was impossible for Zhou Yingning to marry into the Meng family, she looked at two more families and had already arranged a time to visit them. If nothing unexpected happened, they could get married before May.

"Did my second sister-in-law send me a reply?"

"Not yet. I'll go and urge them later."

"Well, don't worry, you have to choose carefully."
