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

"Are you ready?" Zhou Yingrong asked softly.

"Don't worry, big sister. Everything is ready. We just need to wait for the day before the princess wants to reconcile the accounts and let Caixia move in."

"Is that Caixia okay? No need for Wu Hen?"

"No need, Xueyan is waiting inside, and the princess didn't know I would make arrangements in advance, so she wasn't on guard against Xueyan."

Zhou Yingrong nodded. "Hu has been living too smoothly for so many years and has become a little arrogant. What are you going to do after the incident with my mother's dowry? Are you going to reveal the news provided by Concubine Li?"

Meng Wan shook her head. "It's not time yet. I think it's annoying to go through all the evidence like squeezing toothpaste. It would be better to gather all the evidence together and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, leaving her no room to resist and leaving the prince no reason to defend her."

"Squeeze the toothpaste? What do you mean?"

Meng Wan smiled lightly, "It's like pouring sesame oil, pouring it drop by drop. Before the second drop comes out, the first drop has already evaporated and the smell is gone. It's better to pour it out all at once so that people can smell it more strongly."

Zhou Yingrong smiled and said, "No wonder Ayu said you always have some strange words and phrases. Your description is really vivid and easy to understand. Okay, since you have thought it through, I will not get involved any more. When you need me, just go to Yong'an Marquis's Mansion to find me. Especially when you need to communicate with father, don't let Ayu act impulsively. Don't worry, I have a way to deal with father. And father is no longer as obedient to Mrs. Hu as he was in the past few years."

Mrs. Hu looked at the two piles of account books on the table, picked up the top one from the left, which had the word "antique" written on it, and flipped through the account books, reading them page by page very carefully. She asked Mother Hong about the ones she couldn't remember, and after Mother Hong reminded her, she sighed and said that this shouldn't be given away, and that shouldn't be sold. Now, Wang's things are all good things. I didn't think it through at the time, and I should have kept them all. Now I can't buy them even if I have money.

Then he took out an account book with the same mark of antiques from the pile on the right and opened it. The items were still the same, but they had been cancelled. The time and destination were clearly written on it, with even the seal of the person in charge. Some entries even had Zhou Yu's seal.

Mrs. Hu smiled and closed the book gently, then nodded towards Guan Weijia, "Very good, it's hard for you to do it so meticulously in such a short time."

Guan Weijia stepped forward respectfully, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. This is what I should do. Don't worry, Princess, all the accounts have been settled according to your wishes, and everything matches the dowry list of the previous princess. The few items on it were checked with Mother Hong yesterday, and the actual items are all in the warehouse."

"Okay, let's find an auspicious day and hand them over face to face. You take these back and lock them in the accounting office. When you bring someone with you that day, you can take them out again."

"Princess, do you want to lead everyone to the accounting office?" asked Mother Hong.

"That's right. It's more convincing this way." Mrs. Hu smiled. "Also, smear some oil stains on the account book and sprinkle some fine dust on it. The older it is, the better. It should be as if Zhou Yu spent all his money and no one touched it anymore."

Guan Weijia bowed and retreated.

"What's going on with Bi'er? Why did you take so long this time?" Mrs. Hu asked with a frown.

Mother Hong lowered her head and curled her lips. Her voice was extremely respectful. "I went back to check yesterday. I thought maybe she was tired and rested, but there was no one. Do you want someone to look for her? I just don't know where Bi'er went?"

Mrs. Hu shook her head. She had not told Mother Hong about Bi'er's matter. She did not want too many people to know. "You go find the officer and ask him to go to the Imperial College to find the Third Young Master. Tell him that Bi'er did not come back and see what the Third Young Master means."

Watching Mother Hong leave, Mrs. Hu slowly stood up. She had been feeling anxious recently and often felt empty. Especially since Bi'er hadn't come back, the medicated oil that could relieve stress was almost used up.

This feeling started when Zhou Yingning was frightened by Zhou Yu holding the bloody thing. Moreover, whenever she had this feeling, nothing good would usually happen.

Mrs. Hu gently brushed her chest. It would be fine. Bi'er always came back safely, and this time would be no exception. Zhuang Jing was the same. She couldn't just prescribe more medicine at once, and had to go through all this trouble.

Turning back, he saw the old account books on the table, and slowly walked over to open the remaining books. Wang's family was not very wealthy, and it seemed that many of the good things of the late Empress Dowager fell into her hands.

But what's the use? In the end, it still belongs to me. Haha, thinking back to the past, I tried my best to please the late Empress Dowager. Because the late Empress Dowager liked spicy food, I, who couldn't eat spicy food at all, had to eat the spicy food with forced smiles, and kept saying it wasn't spicy enough and asked for more, which made the late Empress Dowager say happily that she finally met someone who could eat with her.

But who knew that after she returned home, she vomited all over the place, and it was also at that time that she developed a stomach disease. However, everything was worth it, as she had the trust of the late Empress Dowager, the love of Wang, and the special treatment of the old princess.

In the end, all these people died, but I was the one who had the last laugh.

These three people were not his opponents, so how could those two siblings defeat him? It was ridiculous that Lin and Zhou Yinghan sided with them. Haha, I was waiting for him to deal with Wang's dowry, so I could let Zhou Yinghan have a good time, and then Lin.

When I was humble and modest in front of Wang, this Lin didn't even look at me. A daughter-in-law of a bastard, who was still being tortured by the old princess at that time, dared to treat me like that, huh, isn't it just because she has a good son. But you, Lin, don't you think about it, your son can successfully get to his current position, is it just because of his own efforts? Without the signboard of Shenjunwang Mansion behind you, who will look at you more.

There is no need to rush for these things. Sooner or later, all the words you said to Wang in the past and now will be returned to you.

Thinking about what Zhou Zheng had told her last time, Hu was very excited. King Jing was indeed powerful, and she and her son had followed the right person. Now everything was ready, and they could start as long as they waited for Meng Hai to send back the news.

The results will be known in a year at the latest, and half a year at the earliest. Thinking of that time, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but smile. The headache that was aching just now seemed to be much better now.

"Yunxiang."

"Yes." Yunxiang came in from outside.

"Has the Lu family sent back any news?"

"Not yet. We agreed that if there is no news within five days, we will go and ask again."

Mrs. Hu frowned unhappily, "It's so hard to do something good that comes right to your door. It's really impossible to help it."

Yunxiang said softly, "Princess, please don't be angry with them. A family that has just become rich is a little timid when it comes to doing things. But I think they are afraid of provoking the wrong people, or they are provoking people they don't think highly of, so they are just being careful."

Mrs. Hu nodded. "You are right, but I can't tell them the truth. For now, I think they will agree. Go back to Viscount Lecheng's mansion tomorrow and confirm with my second sister-in-law. This matter must be completed before Princess Yong'an's birthday. And we must not reveal our whereabouts."

------

At this time, Meng Wan was sitting in the east room of Zhou Yu's outer study, flipping through the account books copied by her seventh sister.

According to Meng Wan, the account book has a very old feel. Xue Fu said that the paper is from that year, and it is hard to buy it on the market now. In addition, it is deliberately stained with ink here and there, curled edges there, and stained with dust in some places, so it looks almost the same as the real thing.

When you open the contents again, you can't find any mistakes. A few scratches and erasures make the account book more authentic.

"Have you confirmed all these things with Second Master?"

Xue Fu replied, "The Second Master did not return to the inner courtyard that day, but watched all night. Fortunately, Mother Fan has the dowry list of the previous princess. The remaining items here should have been secretly left by the princess."

"Okay, I'll replace these the night before the princess arranges the reconciliation. I'm really looking forward to that day."

Meng Wan thought about the expression on Hu's face when she asked someone to open the account book and even read out each entry. If she admitted it, she would have to spit out these things. If she denied it, she would have to take out the real account book, but the real account book was not much different from hers.

"Remember, burn the fake account made by Guan Wei's family immediately after stealing it."
