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

What surprised Meng Wan was that Zhou Yu was surprisingly calm when she told her what Mrs. Qiu knew, especially when it came to the matter of Mrs. Hu drugging Wang.

Meng Wan understood it as soon as he thought about it. This was what he had originally guessed, but the guess had become a fact.

It's just that the people who knew about it and did it are gone, but Zhuang Jing, who prepared the medicine, is still with Meng Qi. If there is a chance, Meng Qi's help is still needed. Zhuang Jing must say it out loud so that Zhou Yiheng can't do anything to protect the Hu family.

But Meng Qi believed that on the day of the showdown with Zhou Yiheng, Zhou Zheng's identity as the child born out of wedlock, the real cause of Aunt Yu's death, the old princess's past, and his white moonlight, Miss Qin'er, etc., would be revealed. Even if Hu didn't admit to poisoning Wang, Zhou Yiheng would not be able to protect her.

Meng Wan saw the reason why Zhou Yu was like this and thought that he had already made up his mind and did not want to solve the matter through normal means.

"Are you all ready?" Meng Wan asked.

Zhou Yu was wearing his inner clothes with his collar open. He took the health tea handed to him by Meng Wan and drank it all in one gulp. "Another cup, why is it so hot today? It wasn't this hot even in June last year."

Meng Wan poured a cup and handed it to him, "Mother Kong said that last winter was cold, so this summer will be hot. Fortunately, you were thoughtful and stocked up a lot of ice in Jinming Hutong last year."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It's your husband's reputation, right? Seeing that you like to go there, I might as well dig a bigger cellar."

Meng Wan smiled faintly, and did not expose Zhou Yu's claim that he had been using Jinming Hutong as their base lately, as people coming in and out every day were all from their circle.

"Almost. The houses near the Hundred Flowers Garden were all reserved long ago, and each one is occupied by unrelated people, and they all have their reasons for going there. Of course, we can't reserve the houses that are closer, as they were cleared out by the palace long ago. Now we can only rely on luck. If Princess Fanghua can play a role, that would be the best. If she doesn't have that ability, then we can only resort to force."

Meng Wan frowned and said, "After all, this is a matter involving the princess, so we still have to be careful. We have to straighten out the whole process and make sure nothing goes wrong. If there is really no chance or the time is not right, then don't do it. However, the evidence we have now will deal a fatal blow to them and their son."

Zhou Yu shook his head. "It is precisely because of this reason that Zhou Zheng cannot fulfill his wish. If he really gets married to Princess Yong'an, even if you bring out more evidence, you will be crushed to death by your father."

Meng Wan sighed, "Why don't I go to Hongluo Temple tomorrow? I'm feeling really nervous here."

Zhou Yu laughed out loud, stretched out his hands to hold Meng Wan in his arms, and kissed her hard on the forehead, "Don't worry, you just need to wait for my good news at home that day."

Meng Wanhui hugged Zhou Yu's waist and buried her face in his arms, "I really hope this will all end soon."

Zhou Yu hummed, "Yes, let's settle Zhou Zheng's marriage, and then spread the word that Lu Waizi saved Zhou Yingning, and finally uncover all the things that happened to Mrs. Hu. Hum, then the three of them will each have their own place to go."

Meng Wan nodded, "Then you can focus all your energy on the palace."

"By the way, I found out why my uncle's case took so long."

"Oh? What happened?" Meng Wan raised his head.

"Because of what you said about the crown prince last time, Uncle Qi and I wondered if the crown prince was interfering. After all, my mother and mother-in-law both have the surname Wang. Although they are five generations apart, they actually have frequent visits. And your uncle's promotion all the way was also inseparable from the help of the late empress dowager. Later, I indirectly told Lord Song about this question that might be related to the crown prince. Lord Song obviously didn't expect it, and I don't know how he explained this situation to Prince Rui. Prince Rui only passed the message to the emperor without the crown prince. It is said that the emperor is also very puzzled why there is no movement from the Ministry of Revenue. It is said that the decree will be issued in the next few days and will not be issued later than June."

Meng Wan said happily, "It seems that six, seven, eight..."

Seeing Meng Wan stretching out his hand and counting one finger at a time, Zhou Yu pulled him up and kissed him, saying, "In four months at most, uncle and the others will be back."

Meng Wan narrowed her eyes and put her arms around Zhou Yu's neck. "Thank you, Wang Xiaoer. You have been the one who helped with this matter for my uncle. I know it all. Mother knows it too. You don't know how much I love you now."

Zhou Yu straightened his chest and said, "Mother-in-law gave me such a good daughter of yours, so I naturally want to make her happy. Don't worry, it's not all my credit. Prince Rui also hopes that my uncle will come back. After all, he really has no trustworthy and available people in the Ministry of Revenue. Besides, Prince Rui has put in so much effort, maybe it's not because of my efforts. I heard that your sister, the Princess Rui, is now becoming more and more favored by Prince Rui."

Meng Wan opened her eyes wide, "Really? They are getting better and better now? Of course not, I mean it would be great if Fourth Sister could give birth to a child."

Zhou Yu picked up Meng Wan and said, "Other people's childbirth is none of your business. We have already agreed that we will have a baby once the Hu issue is resolved. I can't wait any longer. They are showing off in front of me one by one, with malicious looks, as if there is something wrong with me."

Meng Wan burst out laughing. They had been married for almost a year, and there had been no movement from her. When everyone doubted her, they would naturally look at Zhou Yu with doubt.

------

Looking at Zhou Yingning dressed up, Meng Wan sighed in her heart. Since the last incident, Zhou Yingning seemed to have become a different person. She looked listless in everything she saw. When others were joking, she was always dazed and no one knew what she was thinking.

Her temper became more and more irritable. She used to have a bad temper, but it was just the kind of unreasonable young lady she often was. After that, she would throw things and scold loudly. What's worse, beating and scolding the servants became commonplace. The maids and servants who served her often had bruises on their hands and even faces.

When she heard that Guyu's mother went to ask her to save Guyu, she didn't know what words touched Zhou Yingning's fragile nerves. She actually stood up and kicked Guyu's mother in the chest. Maybe she felt that her strength was not enough. Instead of venting her anger, Zhou Yingning picked up the embroidered stool and smashed it hard on Guyu's mother, saying that she couldn't get down from the ground yet.

Mrs. Hu looked at Zhou Yingning with heartache in her eyes. She naturally knew why her daughter became like this. Zhou Yingning never told anyone about the drowning incident that day. Even when Mrs. Hu asked, she shook her head and refused to tell anyone. When Mrs. Hu asked her anxiously, she started to throw things and yell, which made Mrs. Hu worried to death. She wanted to hug her to sleep every night.

She had to pretend nothing happened to the outside world, and even had to keep it a secret from Zhou Yiheng. Later, Zhou Yingning heard that Miss Yan from the Hu family had been engaged to Mr. Lu, and she slowly calmed down. But even so, Mrs. Hu did not pry out from her the reason why she reacted so strongly.

Every midnight, Zhou Yingning would be awakened by a figure. She felt as if countless bugs were biting her body and ants were crawling on her body. Every time this happened, Zhou Yingning wished she had lost her memory and completely forgot about the trip to Hongluo Temple that day.

But the more she tried to forget, the more she remembered. When Mr. Lu saved her, he could have lifted her up or pulled her up. But he held her tightly and touched her all over. Zhou Yingning felt that man's hands touched her chest several times and kneaded it hard for a long time. What made her even more embarrassed was that when Mother Hong came over to pull her up, he stood in the water to lift her up and actually put his hands between her legs to touch her...

How could Zhou Yingning possibly tell such a thing? She couldn't even tell Mrs. Hu. And over the past few days, she gradually realized that this must be a trap set by Mrs. Hu against Zhou Yinghan, but she didn't expect that she would be the one who got into trouble.

After knowing the truth, Zhou Yingning became angry that Hu had kept it from her. If Hu had told her about the plan, then what happened that day would not have happened. She would have done it herself if something unexpected happened to Hong's mother and Guyu.

But everything was in vain. Hu didn't tell her, and Guyu didn't tell her either. She was like a fool. When she heard Miss Lu say that Princess Yong'an liked to dye her nails, she eagerly went to pick them off. If she hadn't picked them off, how could she have slipped and fallen into the water?

Therefore, Zhou Yingning didn't know what was wrong with her now. She hated those who had concealed her secrets, so she was so angry when Guyu was sold out. She also knew that she blamed Hu, or maybe it was hatred, she couldn't tell.

"Good child, today is Princess Yong'an's birthday, and it's the first year that it's being held outside the palace. The Empress and Prince Cheng have made all the necessary preparations. Don't worry, just have fun. You don't have to worry about anything else." Mrs. Hu took Zhou Yingning's hand and said softly.

"Mother, do you mean that the pool is safe this time?"

Mrs. Hu didn't expect Zhou Yingning to say this. She was stunned at first, then she looked at Meng Wan and Xie Fen. She was angry that Zhou Yingning was so ignorant. She wished she could sew shut the mouths of those who knew about the matter, but she was the one who brought it up.

But he did not dare to say much. His daughter's temper was very strange now, and she was not as friendly to him as before. There was a strong sense of alienation.

"Mother knows that you were frightened by your cousin Yan's incident. Don't worry, such a situation will never happen in the Lotus Garden."

Meng Wan lowered his head and chuckled. Looking at Zhou Yingning's expression, she probably hated Hu. This was good. She could make good use of this expression in her future plans.
