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

Su Qing sighed as he thought about all these messy things, sometimes for Zhou Yu, sometimes for Meng Qi, sometimes for Wang, and sometimes for himself.

Forget it. It’s not something I can change or decide. In fact, it’s a good thing for me. No matter whether the original owner is Wang’s biological daughter or not, looking at Wang’s appearance today, my good days will come in the future. This is better than anything else.

You don't have to bother thinking about saving money to get married. You can just ask for money to buy a farm, raise a flock of chickens and ducks, two dogs, and buy a few maids and servants. This is a life like a god.

Or, maybe you could find a handsome young man like Wang Xiaoer, that would also be nice.

"Qing'er, why did you take so long? Would the Crown Prince's wife want to hold you accountable?" Cai'er rushed in.

"Slow down, look at her lustful face, does she look like she's been punished?" Chuan'er followed slowly into the house.

Su Qing sat up and touched her face again. She felt a little hot. What happened? She just thought about finding a handsome guy like Wang Xiaoer. Why did she blush?

"Why did the Crown Prince's wife hold me responsible? I have done a great job, okay? And I tell you two, please please me quickly, my spring will come soon."

Cai'er snorted and sat on Chuan'er's bed next to her.

"I saw Sister Suxin coming." Chuan'er asked while sitting next to Cai'er.

"Yes, the Crown Prince's wife has transferred her to the Fourth Young Lady as a first-class official, together with Sister Lixia."

"Ah? What are you going to do then?" Cai'er said nervously.

"What should I do?"

"That's right. You saved the life of the Crown Prince's wife, so she won't give you a promotion?"

Su Qing chuckled, "Just wait for a while? I told you there will be something better waiting for me, just wait and see. Think carefully about what gift you want when the time comes."

Cai Er looked at Su Qing's smug expression and clapped her hands, "I know."

"What do you know?" Chuan'er turned his head and asked her.

"The wife of the prince must have found a good husband for Qing'er. Hehe, tell me, is it the youngest son of the chief steward? I saw him staring at you last time."

Su Qing reached out and touched Cai'er's forehead. "You, you're so young and you're already thinking about these things. What's the matter? Are you anxious?"

"What do you mean you are too young? You are already 16 this year, and the Crown Prince's wife didn't give you a chance. Besides, the Fourth Miss has had such an incident, and she still doesn't know where to get married... It would be great if you could ask for a favor and get married now, right, Chuan'er?"

Chuan Er nodded, then shook his head, "The Fourth Miss's affairs are not something we should talk about. But I heard that the Prince Shen's Mansion may not necessarily come to cancel the engagement."

Su Qing was stunned at first, and then the two of them went to look at the string.

Chuan'er looked out the window and lowered his voice, "It is said that the marriage between the fourth young lady and Mr. Zhou Er was arranged by the previous princess. The current princess wanted to break it up, but it didn't work out. The prince didn't listen to her on this matter. Besides, we know a little about the situation of the Prince of Shen's Mansion. If Mr. Zhou Er cancels the marriage with the fourth young lady, where can he find a rich and powerful family? How can the current princess find a good family for him? If he marries an empty shell or a small family, won't his life be even more difficult?"

Su Qing understood. She believed that these words were not heard by Chuan'er, but were her own analysis.

Cai Er opened her mouth wide, obviously she hadn't expected this, then lowered her head, "How are we going to live in the future? Mr. Zhou Er will be so upset."

Su Qing patted Cai'er's shoulder and said, "Forget it, these are not our concerns. I'm just afraid that after this incident, the maids in Qinyuan will have to adjust again."

"It shouldn't be too soon. The fourth young lady is under house arrest now and doesn't need to go out. Now there are two more sisters, Lixia and Suxin, so we don't have much work to do."

Su Qing thought about it and agreed. She had to see what the Prince Shen’s Mansion meant. If the marriage went ahead, it would be arranged as quickly as possible, and the wedding might take place this year. If the engagement was cancelled, she would have to find a new husband for Meng Qi, but with such a reputation, it would be difficult to do so.

"My dear young lady, please tell me what is going on. I will never believe what Mr. Hong San said. You can't have done this yourself." Mother Liu was very anxious when she saw Meng Qi's haggard appearance.

"Why doesn't mom come to see me? Is she mad at me?"

"You forgot that the Madam fainted yesterday. If Su Qing hadn't rescued her in time, she wouldn't be in any condition now. I just sent Su Xin to Qin Garden. She will be your maid from now on."

Meng Qi opened her eyes wide and looked at Mother Liu. She had lost a lot of weight overnight. Only the fingerprints on her cheeks were still there. The purple bruises made people feel even more distressed.

"You can't be so confused. Because of this incident, the Crown Prince's wife almost had an accident, and you were scolded by the Marquis and the Crown Prince. Mr. Hong San also said that in front of the Marquis. The most important thing is that Mr. Zhou Er was also present. Where can you let him save face? Good lady, please tell this old servant, please."

"Let him see it. I didn't want to marry him in the first place. I've told mother many times that I hate him, I hate him. No matter what you do, you want me to marry him." Meng Qi said loudly. Her cheek hurt a little because her mouth was opened too wide, so she covered it with her hand.

"Besides, isn't mom okay? Didn't you also say that you should rest well? If she doesn't want to come to see me, then she won't come. I don't blame her."

When Mother Liu heard what Meng Qi said, her head was buzzing. This child was raised in the wrong way.

"As for Mr. Hong San, he must have had his own reasons. I can't blame him for this. I was too impatient. I should have discussed it with him. He must have been scared when he saw me like that. I can't blame him."

"Miss, little..."

"Okay, don't ask me anymore. I won't tell you. I'll wait. He will definitely come to propose marriage. Tell mom that I won't marry Zhou Yu. Let Zhou Yu give up on this idea."

Mother Liu looked at Meng Qi's determined face and knew that she would not get anything out of her. She was now hoping that what Meng Qi said was true.

If the marriage proposal from Prince Shen's Mansion is cancelled, then Mr. Hong San can come and propose marriage in a serious manner.

When the lights just came on in the evening, Mother Guo and Mother Kong entered the east room of Shanzhi Hall together.

"Didn't find it?" Wang frowned.

"After redeeming herself from Ruyi Pavilion, she first returned to the small courtyard she had rented and lived there for a while, about two months. She said she left after hearing that the Madam had taken the fourth young lady back to the East Palace. Some people said she left the city."

Wang closed her eyes and thought about what Su Qing said in the morning. Su Wanniang specifically asked the human trafficker to sell her to the Huainan Marquis Mansion. What was there to not understand? She wanted her own daughter to be a maid under her nose.

She was ordered around by herself, and even watched her being bullied by other maids. Su Wanniang did it. In the beginning, Qi Jie not only beat Su Qing but also made Su Qing embarrassed, especially when Su Qing made a fool of herself in telling a story.

And she was plotted against by Wanxiang. If she hadn't heard that the iron shop was left by Sister Min to Mr. Zhou Er, and Su Qing must have happened to find it, then if it was someone else's, she might have believed it and thought that Su Qing was an unruly person before she entered the mansion.

"Is it really her?" Wang looked at Mother Guo nervously, as if the name Mother Guo would say next would be a judgment on her.
