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

Chapter 367: A cornered dog jumps over the wall (1)

Zhou Zheng took out a handkerchief from the basin and handed it to Mrs. Hu. "Don't worry, mother. Although the life in 'Faqing Temple' is poor, we still need to see how to arrange it. Don't worry, I will ask the officials to go up the mountain tomorrow to make arrangements. You can take the servants with you and stay there for half a year. When they are relaxed, I will take you to your grandmother's house. Besides, it will be more convenient for me to arrange it next if you are not in the palace."

Hu wiped his face and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"How should we do it? Humph, Zhou Yu thought that if his father asked for a title for him, he would be able to become the crown prince. Mother, we thought too much in the past. Now it seems that reputation and influence are not important. What matters is the result."

"result?"

"Yes, as long as that position is ours." There was murderous intent in Zhou Zheng's eyes.

"But we are completely at a disadvantage now. And what Zhou Yingrong just said about your sister, I think it was either Guyu or Mrs. Hong who did it. Maybe, maybe it was the siblings who did it. It is true that we have to suppress this matter."

Mrs. Hu threw the handkerchief away angrily.

"Don't worry, mother. I will take care of that matter. Just don't leave the west of the city. After I send you to the mountain, I will send my third sister to my grandmother's house and discuss with cousin Kun what to do."

"what are you up to?"

"Mom, Zhou Yu and I have reached a life-and-death situation."

"You want to kill him?" Hu asked in surprise.

Zhou Zheng nodded gently, "He should have died a long time ago. Once he dies, I will be the only candidate for the crown prince. This is why I agreed to their conditions just now, because once you are divorced, it will be a different situation for me. As long as you are still the princess, no matter where I am, I will be the legitimate son. When I sit on the throne of the crown prince, who will check my birthday? Who will gossip about what happened today?"

"That's right, kill him, and that Meng Wan, she is a traitor. Ever since she got married, Zhou Yu seems to have become smarter and has gradually escaped from my control. She must have been the one doing this behind the scenes." Mrs. Hu said gritting her teeth.

"Mom did remind me that Zhou Yu is indeed very concerned about Meng Wan. Don't worry, let them go over there and be husband and wife again."

"Have you figured out a solution?"

"It takes a lot of effort to make someone lose his reputation or be despised by the world. But it's not that difficult to kill someone. There will always be accidents."

"Be careful, don't let this get you involved."

"What are you afraid of? Do you think that after so many things happened at home, and Zhou Yu died, others would not suspect me? Haha, it doesn't matter. I just want them to know that it was me who did it, but they can't do anything about it. Mom, just wait. I won't let any of those who spoke up for Zhou Yu have an easy time today."

"That's right, these guys are traitors. Good boy, just do it, no matter what method you use, no matter how much money it costs. Mother listens to you and will do whatever you need me to do."

Zhou Zheng stood up and said, "I don't want to delay this matter any longer. Today, I saw that my father doesn't want to ask for a title for Zhou Yu right away. The court is too chaotic right now, and it's not a good time for my father to go. So, we have to hurry up and settle it before now."

Zhou Zheng stood by the window, watching the sunset, and said after a while, "It seems that the last thread I laid has to be used."

------

After seeing Zhou Yingrong off, Zhou Yu returned to Qinghe Garden and sat in the study without coming out. Meng Wan, holding the thin noodles in soup, gently pushed open the door of the study.

The setting sun shines through the half-open window onto the ground, warm as if coated with a layer of gold.

Zhou Yu looked at Meng Wan coming in, touched his face with his hand, stood up, took the tray and placed it on the table.

"You're tired after a long day. Let's eat first." Meng Wan said gently.

"Have you eaten?" After those people left, Meng Wan did not stay in Junyueju. That was the Zhou family's business. Even if she wanted to stay there and listen, Zhou Yiheng would send her away.

Meng Wan returned to Qinghe Garden and asked Wu Hen to send those people back one by one as promised. Especially Guyu, who said so many decisive words, would definitely not let her go once Hu Shi settled down. And she couldn't involve Zhou Yinghan too deeply, or Hu Shi would misunderstand that they were the ones who did it.

When Meng Wan found out that Guyu was secretly rescued by Zhou Yinghan, she was very surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Yinghan to think so far ahead. At the same time, she also lamented that her ability in house fighting was still not enough.

Whether it was promising to give money, helping to buy a house, or asking to leave the capital overnight like Guyu did, Meng Wan always did what he said.

As for the witnesses, Zhou Yu carried out real money when he went to persuade them. At this moment, Meng Wan asked Mother Kong to take Mingfu and Mingxi to each family according to their preferences. One thing at a time is the best exchange condition.

Lin watched her arrange things in an orderly manner and nodded secretly. When no one was in the room, Lin took her hand and said, "From the look of the prince today, I'm afraid the result won't be what you want."

Meng Wan nodded, "We have also guessed this. First, the prince and the princess have been together for so many years, and the princess is used to being humble, so the prince may not be able to be cruel. Second, the prince has to consider the reputation of the palace. Whether the princess is divorced or it is an accident, it will cause a sensation in the capital. Some things cannot be concealed even if you want to."

Lin sighed and said, "It's good that you know this. No matter what, A Yu's surname is Zhou. In the future, the Prince Shen's Mansion will fall into his hands. His bad reputation will have the greatest impact on your future. But you can't use this opportunity to kill Hu. The two siblings will definitely be sad."

Meng Wan looked at Zhou Yu who was sad at the moment, stepped forward and held his hand, "Since we have guessed the result, there is no need to be sad. Just let mother wait a little longer. I think mother has waited for so many years, and she will definitely not blame you and elder sister for not avenging her today."

Zhou Yu buried her face in Meng Wan's hand, "I know, but I just feel bad. I thought that with so many facts in front of my father, he would divorce Hu without hesitation, but I didn't expect that he would protect her like that."

"That's because, apart from the incident between Aunt Yu and Second Sister, he was aware of and even participated in other matters. How could he not protect his alliance?"

Zhou Yu raised his head and gently hugged Meng Wan into his arms, "Yes, you are right. Don't worry, don't worry. Today's incident has achieved our expectations. And I never thought of letting Hu have an easy time. As you said, the highest level of revenge is not to let people die happily, but to let them suffer while alive."

Meng Wan nodded and put her arms around Zhou Yu's waist. "Yes, if what we investigated is true, no one in the Hu family will be able to escape. Not to mention that she wants to come back from the 'Faqing Temple', we don't even know if the Hu family exists."

Zhou Yu hummed, "I swear, I will let her stay there for the rest of her life. When the Hu family falls, Zhou Zheng will be implicated, and she will no longer have daily offerings, I want to see what her life will be like there."

Meng Ji said, "Yes, then, we will go to see her every once in a while and tell her everything about the Hu family and Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yingning. Humph, that will be more satisfying than killing her."

Zhou Yu let go of his hand and patted his cheek hard, "Yes, don't think too much, everything now is in our favor." After that, he walked to the table, picked up the noodles with chopsticks and started eating.

"I just heard from my eldest sister that my third brother's behavior today was very unexpected. I rarely talked to him in the past, and he always looked gentle. I didn't expect him to be so flexible today." Meng Wan pushed the mixed cucumber towards Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu hummed and continued eating.

"I was thinking of sending two more people to keep an eye on him for a while. Hu has suffered such a big setback, she will definitely not give up. We should not let her do anything desperate." Meng Wan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, with so many things happening at once, he doesn't have time to plot against me. Zhou Yingning alone is enough for him to be busy with. Gu Yu is really scheming. She even took out the money that my second sister gave her and let someone plot against her."

Meng Wan smiled slightly, "Humph, you will suffer for what you have done. If she hadn't been so cruel, then why would Mother Hong and Guyu have been forced into that state by her? Fortunately, my second sister will be married in three months, and Mrs. Hu is not in the mansion, so we don't have to worry about her plotting against us anymore."

Zhou Yu picked up the bowl and drank all the noodle soup. Meng Wan handed him the teacup.

"Mom, when are you going to let Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yingning go?"

"I think the sooner the better. Once these are dealt with, my uncle will be back soon. Prince Rui is very much looking forward to my uncle's return and will probably hand over important matters to my uncle."

"Didn't they say that the prince had no one available in the Ministry of Revenue? Now that my uncle is back, won't the prince be willing to make use of him?"

"The prince is now suspicious of the power of Prince Rui, otherwise uncle would have come back at the beginning of summer, why would it have been delayed until now." Zhou Yu stood up and took Meng Wan's hand, "Come on, let's go for a walk in the back garden.

When the couple left the study, the setting sun had already disappeared into the horizon, but the area around them was still surrounded by fiery red clouds, which was very beautiful.

Meng Wan looked at the beautiful scenery and sighed, "Morning glow doesn't go out, but evening glow can travel thousands of miles. Tomorrow will be another good day."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "My wife is really an all-rounder. There is nothing you don't understand."

Meng Wan leaned her head on Zhou Yu's shoulder, and the two of them slowly walked towards the small garden in the backyard.

"Do you know where Meng Zhi went?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "I don't know, it was all arranged by Princess Rui. From what my brother-in-law said, even Prince Rui doesn't know."

Meng Wan looked up in surprise, "Could it be that Fourth Sister has someone who can do this kind of thing?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "I did hear Lord Song mention it once. It seems that the prince assigned one of his capable guards to the princess for her convenience and to protect her safety."

Meng Wan thought about the last time she met Meng Qi. When she mentioned her and Prince Rui, Meng Qi no longer had the disdain she had at the beginning, but instead had a layer of melancholy. She really didn't know if Meng Qi's wish would have a chance to come true when Prince Rui really fulfilled his wish.

"I want to finish these messes of the Hu family as soon as possible. King Jing has been making some moves recently, so I should be very busy in a while."

"Will it be dangerous?" Meng Wan asked nervously.

"No, don't worry. You know my abilities. I can't fly or fight. I only do safe things."

Seeing Meng Wan sighed with relief, Zhou Yu held her hand and walked slowly, his mind recollecting the words that Xu Cheng had told him. The prince had set up a trap to overthrow King Jing, and the prince had actually asked Prince Rui to be the fish worm.

Although Zhou Yu didn't know what the situation was like, he knew it must be very dangerous when he saw Xu Cheng's serious expression. He and Uncle Qi had analyzed it and thought that the prince might be trying to kill two birds with one stone by taking advantage of this incident.

If it is true, perhaps this plan against King Jing will also serve as a reassurance for King Rui to strengthen his mind.
