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

"Second Madam, everything is ready. Second Master invites you to the study in the outer courtyard." Chuan'er said softly.

Meng Wan nodded happily, "Okay, let the Song Zhu family tell Mrs. Lu to guard the gate of Junyueju. Also, you should go to accompany the second sister in person. As soon as Caixia goes, you should accompany the second sister."

Meng Wan stood up and looked at the box in Mother Kong's hand. "Let's go to the outer courtyard."

In Zhou Yu's study in the outer courtyard, Zhou Yingrong's face did not look good, but she seemed very excited.

"Is there anything missing?" Zhou Yingrong was still worried.

Zhou Yu stood up and said, "No, I went over it again with Qing'er yesterday, and we just thought about it again from the beginning. No matter what the crime is, we are fully prepared, don't worry."

Zhou Yingning let out a sigh, "I've finally waited for this day. It's so good, so good. I really hope I can go to Mom tomorrow and tell her the good news." Two lines of tears slowly flowed down her face.

Zhou Yu walked over and patted Zhou Yingrong's shoulder gently, "Don't act too much in front of Hu later, just listen to Qing'er."

"Don't worry, we set up such a big plan just for today, I know the importance of it. I just admire Sister Wan too much, how did she bribe even Mrs. Lu."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "This is a risky move. I didn't agree with it at first. In fact, even if there were no people from Junyueju, we could still perform this drama. Qing'er said that Hu has been very suspicious recently, especially after Bi'er disappeared. It may be because her headaches have occurred too frequently, so she is very cruel to the servants. When she was selecting people, she considered the ones around her, and finally set her sights on Lu Pozi.

"Because she has never been valued by Mrs. Hu, and she was often excluded by Mrs. Hong when she was around. More importantly, she does not agree with some of Mrs. Hu's actions. Her daughter-in-law has said more than once that her mother-in-law has no choice but to stay by Mrs. Hu's side. As for what Qing'er said to her, I did not ask in detail. I believe what she said, trust people when you employ them, and do not employ people if you doubt them."

Zhou Yingrong nodded. She couldn't be more satisfied with Meng Wan. Thinking that the day of revenge for her mother would come so soon, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep at night these days. Especially after hearing Zhou Yu's story about Meng Wan's method of exposing Hu, she agreed very much. This was ten times, no, a hundred times better than going directly to Zhou Yiheng to talk. Especially when Zhou Zheng heard it with his own ears, haha, let's see how he will deal with it in the future.

The two watched Meng Wan enter the yard, say a few words to Xue Fu, and then go to the west wing.

Mother Kong knocked on the door, and Wu Hen opened it with a creak. His face, which was originally as frosty as ice, suddenly melted and took on an unnatural blush when he saw Meng Wan.

"Second, why is Second Grandma here?"

"Brother Wu, you have worked hard. Have you not had a good sleep these days?"

Wu Hen turned aside to let Meng Wan in, "Fortunately, Mingfu and Mingxi helped a lot."

Meng Wan nodded, "Well, it will be fine after today. They will have their own place to go by then."

Wu Hen followed Meng Wan towards the house on the left. Xue Fu took two quick steps and lifted the door curtain. The sun was shining brightly at this time. Although the window paper was pasted on the room, it was very bright. It was just a little stuffy without the window open.

There were three women in the room, a young girl and two elderly women. They were all dressed very neatly and tidy, sitting in different seats. Perhaps they heard voices outside, so they all stretched their necks to look over here.

Meng Wan took a quick look and found that except for the young girl, she didn't recognize the other two.

When Bi'er saw Meng Wan coming in, she closed her eyes, stood up, and bowed to Meng Wan, "This servant greets the Second Madam."

Meng Wan nodded, "Don't worry, just tell the truth, I will never go back on my promise to you."

"Where is my master? Is it really not possible?" Bier asked.

Meng Wan shook her head. "No, she has committed other crimes that I cannot deal with."

After hearing this, Bi'er lowered her head in disappointment.

The other two maids were also smart. When they heard Bier call the beautiful young woman "Second Madam", they bowed and greeted her together. After getting a promise from Meng Wan, they felt relieved and patted their chests, saying that they would tell her everything they knew without holding back a single word.

Meng Wan came out of the west room and turned to look at Wu Hen, "Where are the others? Have they been arranged?"

"Yes, don't worry, Second Madam."

"Can you do this by yourself?"

Wu Hen rarely smiled, "Second Madam, you forgot that I can fly around."

Meng Wan burst out laughing, "That's right. No matter what time it is, Brother Wu is always the one that people can trust the most. Okay, Xue Fu and the others are watching over here, you go and deal with those people."

Wu Hen looked at Meng Wan's smiling crescent-shaped eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. This was good, so be it. Even if he could only see her once every few months, as long as she could always smile at him like this, his life would be colorful.

When Meng Wan came out, Zhou Yu and Zhou Yingrong were already standing in the yard. Meng Wan greeted Zhou Yingrong, who stepped forward and held her hand, saying, "My dear sister, there is no need to be like this. Today's matter is over, and you are our benefactor."

"Sister, what you said really humiliates me. I am A-Yu's wife. My mother's business is my business. We are a close family."

Zhou Yingrong nodded, "Okay, we are one family and we should keep our differences separate."

Mingfu came in from outside, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he walked quickly to Zhou Yu's side. "Aunt, Second Master, Second Madam, the prince just went to the study room in the outer courtyard. Mingxi also saw the Third Young Master coming out of the Imperial College and coming to the mansion."

"Okay, let's start separately." Zhou Yu nodded at Zhou Yingrong and Meng Wan.

"Who? Who did you say is here?" Mrs. Hu had her eyes closed. Two little maids were standing behind the ice bowl, fanning it vigorously with a big fan in their hands.

Yunxiang said softly, "It's the eldest aunt. I just came back from the third young lady's place. I saw the second lady and her going to Junyueju, so I came back from the small road."

Mrs. Hu sat up. What was Zhou Yingrong doing back home? And she came to her own courtyard. This lady didn't even like to come to Grand Yue Residence on the third day of the New Year. But what was the matter?

"How is the third young lady? Is she still not taking her medicine properly?" Mrs. Hu frowned.

A while ago, Zhou Yingning attended a birthday banquet for a noble lady. Throughout the entire banquet, Zhou Yingning felt like she was being roasted on the fire. It seemed as if people were pointing at her wherever she went, and it felt like everyone was talking about her.

She simply found a quiet place to sit for a while, thinking that she could say goodbye when the time came, but she didn't expect to hear words that made her even more desperate. There were noble ladies outside the flower wall, saying that it was Master Lu who saved her, and that Master Lu said it himself, and that he touched her all over when he saved her, and then he didn't know what to say, and his voice was very low. She stood up and stretched her ears but didn't hear anything, and finally she only heard the sound of everyone gasping.

When she walked back to the banquet with a pale face, she felt that everyone's eyes were looking at her strangely, and she was stared at as if she was not wearing any clothes.

After returning, Zhou Yingning fell ill and had a high fever for three consecutive days. After the fever subsided, she looked like a flower that had been drained of water, lifeless.

As for those who approached her, she was like a hedgehog, stabbing anyone she saw, even Mrs. Hu was no exception. She couldn't sleep well all night, and she always had nightmares, yelling and tormenting the people around her.

Yunxiang shook her head, thinking about the injuries on the hands and faces of the maids she had just seen. One maid's arm seemed to have been pierced by a hairpin, and it was said that it had hit the bone. The girl begged him to find a way to transfer her out, saying that if she continued to be tortured like this, she would die, but Yunxiang didn't dare to ask for it.

"When I left, I was coaxing her to drink medicine. Today, I saw that the Third Miss was doing well. She said she went out for a walk twice."

Mrs. Hu nodded. She had originally thought of finding a good husband for Zhou Yingning after this matter was over. However, how could she dare to find one for her in her current state? Moreover, although the rumor was suppressed, everyone who should know knew about it, especially those from the aristocratic families. Which family didn't have spies all over the capital? Even if she denied it, she couldn't hide it from them.

Mrs. Hu sighed. What was going on? Why were her two children's marriages so unsuccessful? It seemed that she really had to go to the "Puji Temple" to find Master Fang Zhi to help her solve the problem.

After a while, news came from outside that the eldest aunt and the second aunt had arrived.

Mrs. Hu changed her expression and watched Zhou Yingrong and Meng Wan come into the room. She sat there without moving, but just watched Meng Wan bow and greet her. Zhou Yingrong sat down slowly and looked around, as if she was coming in for the first time.

Mrs. Hu frowned. What else could she guess? This difficult lady might have come back to cause trouble. But she had been busy with her two children recently and had no time to spare. She hadn't done anything to target Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yingrong looked at Hu's discontented expression and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "I came back today because I really want to ask the princess for clarification on something."

"Oh? What do you want to ask me, aunt? If you are from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, you have come to the wrong place. If you are from the Shenjun Prince's Mansion, you are a married girl, and the Zhou family's affairs have nothing to do with you." Hu said coldly.

Ever since the last dowry book incident, the two of them have already torn their faces apart. Today, Zhou Yingrong was so arrogant again, and Zhou Yiheng was not around, so Mrs. Hu was too lazy to pretend anymore.

"Oh, it's true that it's the business of Prince Shen's Mansion, but why is it none of my business? When my sister Niu is looking for a husband, people go to investigate and find out that there is an unruly aunt. Where can I put my face?" Zhou Yingrong said this and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled.

"You, what did you say, what do you mean?" Hu's face suddenly turned red, and she pointed at Zhou Yingrong and said sternly.

"What do you mean? Princess, why do you have to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth? There are no outsiders here. What Third Sister did has spread all over the capital. If I hadn't been at home recuperating after my confinement, I wouldn't have known about it so late."

"What did your third sister do? It's spread all over the capital."

Zhou Yingrong clicked her tongue twice, "Princess, if there is a problem, it must be solved. This ugly thing cannot be covered up just because you want to."

Mrs. Hu picked up the teacup on the table and threw it fiercely in Zhou Yingrong's direction, "You are talking nonsense. She is your sister. How can you be so vicious?"
