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

Mrs. Hu held Mrs. Song's hand and kept apologizing, pouring out nice words as if they were free.

Song looked at Meng Wan lying on the bed with a pale face. Wang was sitting on the side and had been crying since she entered the room. Hu wanted to talk to Wang, but Wang didn't even glance at her. She had no choice but to keep talking to Song.

"I never thought it would be like this. We didn't lie to my in-laws last time. If we had known that our second daughter-in-law was pregnant, we wouldn't have let Chuntao keep the baby. If we had aborted it earlier, there wouldn't have been so many troubles later."

Song looked at Hu, who was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed. Just as she was about to reply, Wang said coldly, "Whether she is pregnant or not is another matter. I just don't understand one thing. The prince wanted to teach the second master a lesson, and no one in the room stopped him. So my daughter got hit in vain?"

Mrs. Hu was stunned, thought for a while and forced a smile, "It's not like that, it's just that the conversation got to that point. To be honest, the prince and Brother Yu seem to be born in conflict. Over the years, I have been caught in many lawsuits between them. It was easy to deal with it before, Brother Yu was young and at least listened to me. But now he is older and married, he has his own ideas. When the prince is angry with him, who dares to persuade him? I'm afraid the more we persuade, the more angry he will be. The second daughter-in-law didn't know about this habit of the two of them, and she didn't know they were so mean."

Mrs. Hu stood up and walked to Mrs. Wang. "Mother-in-law, no matter how you look at it, we were wrong to let our second daughter-in-law suffer such a great loss. Don't worry, we will give an explanation to the Huainan Marquisate. The prince has told me to let Yingning go to Hongluo Temple to pray for the second daughter-in-law's unborn child and for her second sister-in-law."

"It should be so. She was the one who started it in the first place." Wang snorted coldly.

Song looked at Wang and saw that Hu looked unhappy. She coughed and said, "Princess, you have thought it through. No one wants something like this to happen. We can only blame ourselves for not having the child."

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu's face looked better.

The next day, Zhou Yingrong returned to Prince Shenjun's mansion despite Zhou Yu's dissuasion. However, she did not come to Qinghe Garden immediately, but went to Zhou Yiheng's study in the outer courtyard.

Zhou Yiheng was very troubled by this eldest daughter and even had a hint of fear towards her.

"Is that all, father?"

"Your third sister will go to the temple in a few days."

"Why? Can she just hide in the temple for a few days? Or if she goes to the temple, will my sister-in-law get pregnant again?"

"You, don't say that. No one wants such a result."

"Oh, how does father know that this is not what everyone wants? Maybe except for my second brother and his wife, everyone else wants to see this result."

"Nonsense." Zhou Yiheng's face flushed red. "I admit that I went a little too far, but you also know Brother Yu's temper. If he had stopped talking back to me, this wouldn't have happened."

"Father, there are some things that we don't need to say more about Brother Yu's life. It's pointless to say more. You know it best in your heart. After so many years, even if my mother did something wrong, isn't it enough for us to repay her like this? Do we have to use Brother Yu's children to repay her? Two children at that."

Zhou Yiheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Yingrong intently, "Don't talk nonsense."

"My father knows best whether I am talking nonsense or not. I just hope that when he passes away, he can have a clear conscience when he sees my mother."

Zhou Yiheng's face was filled with anger. "Don't think you can talk to me like this just because you're married. I'm telling you, just this once. If you bring up the past again, I don't mind..."

"What do you mind? Brother Yu's two children are not enough. Could it be that my father has some ideas about the baby in my belly? Or does Mrs. Hu have some ideas? What? Will my child also prevent her son from becoming the crown prince?"

"You, are so outrageous." Zhou Yiheng stood up.

"This is called insolence. When I go to the inner house later, I will let father see what insolence means. I am not like my second brother. He wants to live in this palace no matter how unwilling he is. What do I have to be afraid of? I am from the Yong'an Earl's Mansion." After Zhou Yingrong finished speaking, she stood up and was about to walk out.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Yiheng said weakly.

"What? I went to seek justice for my second brother's wife. You are the father, and you dare not say no if you want to beat or scold Brother Yu, but what right does Zhou Yingning have?"

"Your third sister didn't mean it."

"Oh? How did father know? Did Mrs. Hu say it? Haha, that's right. For so many years, you believed whatever Mrs. Hu said? Didn't father ever think that everything she said was true? Now, not only Mrs. Hu, but even her daughter believes whatever she says."

Zhou Yiheng sighed and said, "Don't say so much. It's all my fault now. I promise you that I will never treat Brother Yu so impulsively again."

Zhou Yingrong snorted coldly, "Oh, it's not easy for two children to get such a sentence from their father."

"What else are you going to do?"

"How? I'm fighting for my brother's interests. No one in this family cares about him. If I don't come back to fight for him, who will? Do you think I should let my mother crawl out of her grave to discuss this with you?"

"Can you please speak properly?" Zhou Yiheng said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, then I will explain it to you now, father, and let me know if what I said is right."

Zhou Yiheng sat back down and nodded, "You go ahead."

"First, Zhou Yingning went to the 'Faqing Temple' to pray for my second brother's two unborn children. Second, after my second brother's wife recovers, the housekeepers and directors must divide up the work. The princess is old and can't take care of everything. Just like this incident, if the princess had been more careful and thoughtful, it could have been avoided."

Zhou Yiheng looked at Zhou Yingrong who was staring at him coldly without any averted gaze. He sighed, "The life at 'Faqing Temple' is too austere. Your third sister has realized her mistake and has packed up to go to Hongluo Temple in the past two days. Why not let her go there?"

"Faqing Nunnery" is the largest nunnery in the capital, and is worshipped by the royal family. It is the place where the noble women who have committed sins in the capital go to atone for their sins. The length of time they stay there varies, and some even never come out. "Faqing Nunnery" is famous for its harsh conditions. It's not that the conditions in the nunnery are bad, but that the management is extremely strict. Any woman who goes there will be skinned alive if she doesn't die.

Zhou Yiheng looked at Zhou Yingrong and wanted to speak, and immediately continued, "As for what you just said, I agree. The princess has indeed had too many things to do recently. She has to worry about Yinghan's marriage and look after your third brother and third sister. I think your idea is very good. I will discuss it with the princess later. When Brother Yu's wife recovers, she will have to learn to take care of the household affairs."

Zhou Yingrong was satisfied. Originally, sending Zhou Yingning to "Faqing Temple" was just a cover, so that Zhou Yiheng could share the power of housekeeper with Meng Wan.

"In this case, I am relieved. I would like to thank you on behalf of my second brother and sister-in-law."

However, no one expected that after Zhou Yingrong entered the inner house, she went straight to Zhou Yingning's yard, slapped the old woman and maid who followed Zhou Yingning that day one by one, and then went into Zhou Yingning's room.

He didn't speak to Zhou Yingning, who was still lying on the bed with a pale face. He just gave an order, "Smash it for me", and Zhou Yingning's boudoir was unrecognizable after half a day.

Finally, he walked over to Zhou Yingning, who had a horrified look on her face, and said, "I'm telling you this for the last time today. If you say anything I don't like with that stinky mouth of yours, I'll either find someone to sew it up for you, or have someone feed you shit every day. Anyway, your mouth isn't clean."

When Hu received the letter and hurried over, she bumped into Zhou Yingrong. Zhou Yingrong didn't even look at her, but walked past her with her back straight and her belly bulging.

"Princess, the Li family sent someone to say that they had originally agreed to enjoy the flowers together, but their old lady has been feeling unwell recently, so she may not be able to keep the appointment." Mother Hong looked at Mrs. Hu's dark face and said cautiously.

The Li family was the best family among those that Hu had favored for Zhou Yingning. It was not that the old lady was unhappy, but she had obviously heard the rumors outside and tactfully refused.

Mrs. Hu was so angry that she threw the teacup away. She felt depressed when she thought about how Zhou Yingning went to Hongluo Temple crying yesterday, and how Zhou Zheng complained to her after he came back and learned what happened.

Now it was a good thing. A good hand was now broken. First, Chuntao lost the magic weapon that could check Zhou Yu. Then he lost Hewen, a capable spy. Not only did his daughter get scared, but she also had to stay in Hongluo Temple for three days. Seeing Zhou Yingrong come back and show off, he couldn't say a word. Now, even the Li family, who had been sticking to him and wanted to marry Zhou Yingning, made such a statement.

Thinking about the bad things about Zhou Yingning that were spread outside, Mrs. Hu was so angry that her teeth were itching. She asked Zhou Zheng to investigate, but Zhou Zheng rubbed his forehead and said, "What are you investigating? Isn't it obvious enough?"

Yes, what else is there to check, except for Zhou Yingrong and his sister. Sometimes, Hu really didn't want to waste time with Zhou Yu like this. If she had known this would happen, she should have killed him a few years ago, and she wouldn't have to embarrass herself like this now.

But it is useless to think about these things now. Things have come to this point, and we can only take it one step at a time. Just like Zhou Zheng said, there is no hurry. Before the court is clear, the prince will not be able to ask for a title. And once the court situation is clear, Hu believes that the person who sits on that position must be King Jing. At that time, there is no need for Zhou Yiheng to go to ask for a title. As long as King Jing issues an order, humph, this palace will belong to Brother Zheng.

Forget it, this has to be done for now. She and Zhou Zheng have gone through the whole process from beginning to end and haven't found any problems in any link. Every step of Meng Wan's has been under her nose.
