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

Meng Qi looked at Meng Wan with a serious face, "It has been blocked, but the news has not spread yet."

"Didn't the emperor decide to exile Prince Cheng?"

"Your Majesty has only heard about it. After all, the decree has not been issued yet. However, it seems that the Crown Prince has a different opinion."

"The Emperor has handed this matter over to the Crown Prince?"

Meng Qi nodded, "The Crown Prince was angry with the Prince because of this matter. Perhaps he felt that the Prince made the incident happen too early for Prince Cheng, thus ruining his plan."

"What is the prince's plan?"

"I don't know. Your Highness can't guess. The prince is really too insidious. You haven't seen him, right?"

Meng Wan shook his head.

"He looks so gentle, but being with him makes your scalp tingle. Even if he stands with his back to you, you will feel like he is staring at you from behind. He has an honest and even pitiful face, but he always hides murderous intent."

"He won't do anything to the prince, will he?"

Meng Qi smiled, "No, at least not now. No, it should be said that even if he sits in that position, he won't do that before he completely controls the government and makes the royal family behave themselves. But it can be seen that he is beginning to be wary of the prince."

"Didn't you expect that the prince would have so many followers?"

Meng Qi glanced at Meng Wan approvingly, "Yeah, we thought so too. So, I struck while the iron was hot."

"what do you mean?"

"The one you worry about and hope for." Meng Qi blinked at Meng Wan, looking very beautiful in her playful manner.

Meng Wan thought about it for a while before reacting, "Is the prince moved?"

Meng Wan shrugged, "I don't know. At least he didn't say it was impossible as firmly as he did when I tested him before. Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about Meng Zhi."

"Oh, yes, yes, what about Meng Zhi? She won't be trapped in Prince Cheng's mansion?"

"How could that be? I will get her out even if I risk my life."

Meng Wanshi never expected Meng Qi to say such words. It seems that the two girls have developed a deep relationship after repeated "battles".

"So what are you going to do? Can I know?"

"Of course, Meng Zhi will come to pay his respects to grandfather tomorrow."

"Ah? Can she get out?"

"Yes, the Emperor has given special permission."

"What? The prince did it?"

"How is that possible? If the prince shows up and Meng Zhi disappears again, it will be directly linked to him."

"Disappear? What do you mean?"

"Well, tomorrow Meng Zhi will have an accident on her way back from paying her respects to her grandfather, and then the news will spread that the concubine of Prince Cheng is not in the mansion." Meng Qi lay on Meng Wan and whispered.

Meng Wan exclaimed, "Fake death?"

"Yes, fake death."

"Where will Meng Zhi go? How will she live in the future?"

"I have arranged everything for her. Once the matter with Prince Cheng is over, she will have her own place to go."

"Don't you just send him away?"

Meng Qi shook her head. "Why would she leave? Not to mention that her mother and brothers are still in Beijing, she hasn't even taken revenge on Meng Hai herself yet."

"With my own hands? Ah Qi, how are you going to do that?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, the prince has agreed. We just need to wait for him to make the arrangements. You know that Meng Zhi hates Meng Hai to the extreme."

Meng Wan nodded. That's right. If it weren't for Meng Hai, Meng Zhi would be a happy and contented woman in the inner house, supporting her husband and raising her children, with plenty of food and clothing, and her father wouldn't have passed away so early. All of this was ruined by Meng Hai.

Neither Liu nor Meng Juan showed up at the afternoon's memorial service. Instead, Song was supported by Meng Yuan and Meng Hao and sat in the mourning hall, watching everyone. Meng Wan couldn't tell what expression Song had on her face. She looked sad, but there were no tears on her face. She looked numb, but she looked lifeless.

At night, Meng Qi went back and Meng Wan stayed. The next day, all the relatives who were related to the Meng family came.

To Meng Wan's surprise, Zhou Yiheng and Hu were the first relatives to arrive at the Huainan Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was gone, Zhou Yiheng had obvious anger on his face, but he held it back. Zhou Zheng followed behind him with the gentle demeanor of a young master from a wealthy family.

Afterwards, more and more people came. Meng Wan, a married lady, stayed in Shanzhi Hall with the "weak" Wang except when she went to mourn.

Jiang showed unprecedented diligence. Although she was already busy and exhausted with receiving the female relatives, she still took the opportunity to care for Wang and try to please Meng Wan.

Meng Wan was not as hostile to Jiang as Meng Qi, but she was not very enthusiastic either. When Jiang entered the courtyard of Shanzhitang for the third time, Meng Wan was still thinking about what to say to ask her not to make such a fuss, but then she heard Jiang say that Meng Zhi was here and was in the mourning hall, but... Jiang didn't say anything else, just asked Meng Wan to go and take a look.

Meng Wan hurried to the mourning hall and saw from afar a fiery figure outside the mourning hall set up in Meng Changfeng's outer study.

Everyone around was pointing at Meng Zhi, but Meng Zhi just stood there, looking at Meng Changfeng's tablet. He didn't burn incense or kneel down. He just stood there with a blank expression.

Looking at Meng Wan who came hurriedly, Meng Zhi's stiff face showed some expression, "Is he really dead?"

Meng Wan nodded, stepped forward and took Meng Zhi's arm, "Come on, I'll take you to Qin Garden for a visit."

"No need. I just want to see if he is really dead. I don't know what he will say when he sees my father. I think my father went there first, so he will naturally be more established than him. Will he not bully me in the future? My father is an honest man. Even if he is given a chance, I am afraid he will not bully others."

After saying this, without waiting for Meng Wan to reply, Meng Zhi laughed loudly, turned around and walked outside. Just as she came in in a hurry, she left like a gust of wind. Meng Wan only saw a corner of her fiery red skirt as she walked out of the courtyard.

Then, in the afternoon, everyone heard a terrible news. On her way back from paying respects to Marquis Huainan, Prince Cheng's concubine Meng Zhi collided with a carriage loaded with tung oil. For some unknown reason, the carriage caught fire. Despite everyone's efforts to rescue her, Prince Cheng's concubine was still burned to death. It was said that the only thing on the concubine's body that was snatched away by the servants was a red belt.

Meng Yuan originally wanted to make Meng Changfeng's funeral more grand, and he had to stay at home for seven days. However, after Zhou Yu closed the door and talked to him for a long time that day, Meng Yuan came out with a pale face and arranged for him to be buried three days later.

Before Meng Changfeng's seventh day of death, a major event happened in the capital. Prince Cheng was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Ningguta. All those who had given birth in Prince Cheng's mansion were exiled with him and their children, and those who had not given birth were sent to the Jiaofang Division.

The Empress knelt in the Chengtian Palace in white clothes and asked to depose herself. But the Emperor did not agree. Instead, he confined the Empress to Kunning Palace. He also found another palace for Princess Yongan and Princess Fanghua. The newly promoted Princess Zhenru was sent back home to get married.

It is said that Princess Yong'an went to Chengtian Palace to plead for Prince Cheng for three consecutive days. The emperor originally refused to see her, but Princess Yong'an refused to leave. Later, the emperor summoned Princess Yong'an. It is unknown what the father and daughter talked about. When Princess Yong'an came out again, her eyes were empty and her expression was wooden, like a puppet.

Three years later, Princess Yong'an became a lay Buddhist. The new emperor built a nunnery for her in the northeast corner of the palace and often took the empress to listen to Princess Yong'an's lectures. A few years later, a very beautiful girl appeared by Princess Yong'an's side. When she grew up, she was married to a family chosen by the empress herself. On the day of the girl's wedding, Princess Yong'an burst into tears and knelt down facing the direction of Ninggu Pagoda.

As Prince Cheng left the capital, those who followed him and those who had close relations with him began to be liquidated by the emperor, but it was not done in a high-profile manner. Some of them did not even get wind of it, and their entire family disappeared from the capital the next day.

Wang knelt in the yard with everyone else from the Meng family, listening to the eunuch's shrill voice reading the imperial edict. She felt that the emperor had shown some mercy and that the Meng family should be wiped out immediately.

Meng Yuan was originally upset that he had finally had the chance to become a marquis, but he didn't even get close to it and directly became a baron. He didn't know if he would have another chance to become a marquis in this life. If his best friends knew about this, they would laugh at him.

But when he heard the emperor's punishment on the third house later, Meng Yuan felt that he was really relying on the help of his two sons-in-law.

Liu listened to the shrill voice, which spoke word for word. Meng Hai and Meng Jing were all to be executed immediately, and their women and children were demoted to commoners and exiled to Lingnan, never to leave.

How could this happen? Everything was clearly fully prepared and going smoothly. King Cheng said that as long as Meng Hai could get the imperial seal and guard the city walls, he would rush into the palace through the secret passage at home. With the two of them working together, Meng Hai's throne would be just around the corner.

But now, she has nothing, her husband is gone, her son is gone, how can she live with her grandson? It is said that her family was also implicated by her, and the King of Zhenbei ordered his wife not to have any contact with her father, and her aunt was also sent to the farm.

Then, Meng Hai hanged himself the same night he heard that he would be executed. After the autopsy, the jailer Jia carried Meng Hai's body while complaining about the Huainan Marquisate, no, it was the Huainan Earlate's House that was stingy, not even giving him a penny, and no one came to collect the body, and they had to work hard to carry it to the mass grave.

On the other side, he was muttering, how come a hanged man's neck looked like he was stabbed by a knife, and it looked like a dull wound. And there were bloody holes on his body that looked like flesh had been gouged out by a knife.

Yu Ding Yi touched the two silver ingots in his pocket and urged Yu Ding Jia to leave quickly. How he died had nothing to do with them. The emperor had ordered his death anyway.

As he spoke, he thought of the two people who came in last night. One of them was short and thin, but he was the most ruthless. He didn't know what he said to Meng Hai. If Meng Hai hadn't been tortured after being caught, he would have eaten that man.

Later, he stood outside and watched through the small window as the man took out a rusty saw and stabbed Meng Hai's neck little by little. Meng Hai wanted to resist, but the other man who went with him held him down tightly, and the blood flowed out little by little. Then the man stabbed Meng Hai again, again and again, watching the blood slowly soak into his clothes, watching Meng Hai lose his strength little by little. The tall man untied Meng Hai's belt and threw it on the beam, and put Meng Hai, who was hanging his head, into it.

Then, he heard the little girl's laughter, which was soft at first, and then suddenly became louder. He was really shocked, how could it sound like a woman's voice, and then he shook his head, how could it be possible, how could a woman use such a heavy hand, he must have heard it wrong.
