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

"It's all good now. Now that we've dealt with Mom's dowry, we can free up our hands to do other things. I've noticed that Chuan'er has been getting along well with Uncle Qi these days, so why not let Chuan'er take charge of the shop's affairs from now on?"

"That's what I meant. She is meticulous and capable, and she knows Uncle Qi. What about the iron shop? Uncle Qi and Liuzi are both out. Can Brother Hei be the only one running the iron shop?" Meng Wan said.

"No problem. In fact, when Uncle Qi first came back, it was Hei Da Ge who ran the iron shop by himself after he cleaned it up, because Uncle Qi had other things to do at that time. By the way, Uncle Qi will find a wife for Hei Da Ge, and they will get married next month."

"Ah? Why did you tell me such a big thing just now?" Meng Wan stood up, the quilt slipped off her shoulders, and the two jade rabbits jumped up and down as she stood up.

Zhou Yu's eyes darkened, he pursed his lips slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't blame me, I just found out too. Uncle Qi said he wants to invite you to the wedding."

"Of course, I will... go... um, be gentle, oops! Wang Xiaoer, you bit me again, oooo..."

Zhou Yu rolled over and pressed Meng Wan under him.

A few days later, Aunt Huan successfully gave birth to a daughter, which made everyone very satisfied.

Mother Kong described the baby to Meng Wan as if she was holding a baby in her arms, "Oh my, it's really like a dough ball, white and plump. When I was about to leave, the prince came over and held the baby in his arms and wouldn't let go."

Meng Wan nodded. A daughter is good. In fact, it doesn’t matter to Zhou Yiheng whether it is a daughter or a son. He just wants to have a child when he is old.

Because children have always been an obsession for him, no, it should be said that they are an obsession.

First, Yanfu's child was gone. Although Yanfu said so many decisive words to protect Zhou Yu, Zhou Yiheng would definitely calm down after his anger at the time, and it was impossible for him not to find any suspicious points.

Whether it was for the Hu family or for himself, he let the Yanfu incident end just like that. This was also the reason why Xuefu had been working well for Zhou Yu without being sold out or implicated.

Zhou Yiheng was extremely exhausted after losing Yanfu's child, but then he lost Aunt Yu's child, which made him angry and he couldn't let it go for a long time. Just like what Li said to him that day, Zhou Yiheng still didn't know the real cause of death of Aunt Yu and the child.

This was also the token of allegiance that Li gave to him.

Because of the marriage she had arranged for Zhou Yinghan, Li told Meng Wan two things. One was Zhou Zheng's real birth time, which was evidenced by Li, and the other was that Zhou Yu had been looking for the old people in the mansion and the midwife who delivered the baby. Now that they had found some clues, they had sent people to look for them. They would be placed in Jinming Hutong first, waiting for the chance to strike.

Humph, when Zhou Zheng’s true birthday is revealed, how can he, a son of illegitimate children, pretend to be noble as the legitimate son of the royal family?

Another thing is this Aunt Yu.

Aunt Yu was given to Zhou Yiheng by someone who wanted to marry him, and Zhou Yiheng usually never accepted her. As a county prince, he could have any woman he wanted, even if she was a clean little lady from a small family in Beijing or a young lady who had not settled down there, it was not something she could do just to become Zhou Yiheng's concubine in the Shen County Prince's Mansion.

Therefore, Zhou Yiheng never had any intention of marrying a woman from outside into his mansion. He would cuddle with her during social events and sometimes spend the night with her, but who would dare to come close to her and ask for responsibility? That would be a joke.

But this person was different. Zhou Yiheng looked at Yu Niang who was carefully pouring wine for him during the banquet, her face reflected in the candlelight. He suddenly thought of Yan Fu, and the floodgates of his memory opened at once.

At that time, Yan Fu had been gone for just over a year, and it was also the time when Zhou Yiheng had figured it out in his heart. He had really liked her and had never forgotten her, and on top of that he felt deeply guilty. Suddenly, he met someone who looked like her, spoke like her, and had a 50% similar demeanor. How could Zhou Yiheng not be excited?

He took her in that night and brought her back to the palace the next day. After serving her for a month, she was promoted to concubine.

Ever since Zhou Yiheng got Aunt Yu, he doted on her. Whenever he was in the mansion, he would stay in Aunt Yu's room, and even when he went to visit Mrs. Hu, he would bring her with him.

After all, this concubine Yu was born there, and she was willing to flatter Zhou Yiheng at first. However, Zhou Yiheng's exclusive favor lasted for a long time, and she embarrassed Mrs. Hu several times because of her. She even scolded Mrs. Hu in person for not caring enough about concubine Yu. Since then, concubine Yu has become more and more bold, and she has increasingly ignored Mrs. Hu.

Of course, these alone could not make Mrs. Hu kill Aunt Yu directly. In her eyes, she was just a plaything. The prince was just greedy for the novelty and would wait for a while before she found a beautiful and decent woman, and then the prince would abandon her.

However, Mrs. Hu had not found the person yet, but Aunt Yu was diagnosed with pregnancy.

This time Zhou Yiheng was so happy that he went to the ancestral hall in person and wanted to promote Aunt Yu to a concubine. Hu disagreed and asked the clan leader to stop it. After all, Aunt Yu was born there. If he promoted her to a concubine at this time, he would be laughed at by people in the capital.

After Zhou Yiheng got over his impulse, he realized this was the truth and had no choice but to compensate Aunt Yu with more money and property.

Aunt Zhiyu hated Hu to death. She thought that it was all Hu's fault that made her lose the title of concubine. In fact, according to her, giving birth to a son was to ask Zhou Yiheng for the position of concubine.

In this way, Aunt Yu hated Hu, but she really didn't have the ability to go after Hu, so she set her sights on Zhou Yingning.

It's okay to have some feelings for a little girl, especially a spoiled and domineering rich girl like Zhou Yingning.

The servant of Aunt Yu was someone who came into the mansion with her. After hearing that Zhou Yingning had a bad stomach at that time, she secretly got some laxatives from outside and led Zhou Yingning to take them. As a result, Zhou Yingning almost lost her life.

Hu originally thought that Zhou Yingning had eaten something wrong, so she replaced all the maids around her. But she didn't expect that Yu Yi Niang, the idiot, would use the same old trick again when she saw that Zhou Yingning was fine, and this time she wanted to harm Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng had already gone to the outer courtyard at that time, and those who followed him were all carefully selected by Hu. Besides, a concubine from the inner house running to the outer courtyard would be too conspicuous. This time, Hu knew everything clearly and knew that what happened to Zhou Yingning last time was not an accident.

She originally wanted to tell Zhou Yiheng about this, but Mother Hong stopped her, saying that Aunt Yu's belly was now a precious sword, and even if she admitted it herself, the prince would excuse her, after all, the third young master and the third young lady were fine.

Mrs. Hu also knew that given Zhou Yiheng's love for Aunt Yu and his hope for the child in her belly, it would be unwise for her to confront Aunt Yu face to face.

Seeing Aunt Yu jumping up and down, Mrs. Hu was determined to get rid of her. So, during that period of time, Mrs. Hu treated Aunt Yu very well, especially in front of Zhou Yiheng, she personally served medicine and soup to Aunt Yu, which made Zhou Yiheng very satisfied and Aunt Yu very proud.

Then, not long after, Aunt Yu had a stomach upset because of something she ate. When she ran to the side room, she accidentally fell. When the doctor came, the baby had already been lost. Aunt Yu was unlucky. After two days, she died too.

After Li finished saying this, she let out a sarcastic smile. "I didn't see the prince's expression when Yanfu lost her child. But when Concubine Yu came, the prince seemed to have aged several years. He wondered if he had done something wrong, why couldn't he keep one or two children."

Meng Wan finally understood why the prince paid so much attention to Concubine Huan, because he valued the baby in Concubine Huan's belly. She also knew why Mrs. Hu did not take action against Concubine Huan's pregnancy. If Concubine Huan followed the old path of Yan Fu and Concubine Yu, Zhou Yiheng would definitely turn the tables.

The reason why Li knew that Hu was the one who did this to Concubine Yu was because she saw with her own eyes that Mama Hong bribed the maid who came in from outside and was serving Concubine Yu at that time.

What made Meng Wan admire Li's forbearance and scheming even more was that Li actually sent someone to follow the maid who was released after Yu Yi Niang's death, and had been keeping an eye on her for so many years.

The girl got a lot of money from Mrs. Hu and ran away. When Mrs. Hu finished dealing with Aunt Yu's affairs and wanted to find her, she couldn't find her. Because Mrs. Li noticed and took action early, she knew that the girl had not left the capital and was still in the west of the city, married and had children.

At first, Mrs. Hu looked everywhere for her, heading outside the city, but she didn't expect that the girl was very smart and didn't leave the city at all. After waiting for Yu Yi Niang for a long time, Zhou Yiheng didn't suspect anything, and the girl really couldn't be found, so Mrs. Hu gave up.

She always thought that the girl was scared away, and after so many years, there was not even a splash, and Mrs. Hu even forgot what the girl looked like.

Li handed the note with the address to Meng Wan and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I'll hand it over to someone capable. I won't have to worry about it every day. I think Aunt Yu will never come to look for me in my dreams again."

In fact, if these two things were exposed, it would be a fatal blow to the Hu family. However, after Zhou Yu and Meng Wan discussed it, they decided that it was not the time to take action yet.

Because neither of these two incidents could be linked to Wang, and Zhou Yu wanted Hu to never get back on his mother's side. No, he wanted Hu to pay for Wang's life.

Therefore, it is not the right time yet. Let’s wait a little longer. If Mrs. Hu falls now, what will happen to her two children, the Hu family, and those behind her?
