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

"Yes, both the former residents nearby and the landlord confirmed that her name was Su Wanniang, and when she first moved in, she brought a little girl of three or four years old. The little girl cried every day and said she wanted to find her mother. The neighbors initially thought she had kidnapped the child, and she explained to them that the child was her own, but was taken away by her first wife to be raised. Now that her husband's family has been convicted, she took the child away, and the child has become estranged from her."

There was no movement in the room for a long time. Mother Guo and Mother Kong looked at Wang, who was standing with her back to them, staring at the sheep-horn palace lantern hanging in the corner.

"Go on," Wang's voice was hoarse.

"Yes, at first the neighbors often heard Su Wanniang beating and scolding the child. The more the child cried, the harder she beat her. Sometimes she didn't give the child food for a whole day, and the child was so hungry that he would peel tree bark to eat. The neighbors said that the child was not her biological child, otherwise she would not be like this. Su Wanniang wiped her tears and said that the child was taught wrongly by the eldest wife, and she had no choice but to make her obedient.

"Later, perhaps the child was afraid of being beaten, and he stopped crying after a while. When he grew up a little, he started to work. He did all kinds of work at a young age. He squatted at the door in the middle of winter to work the coal stove, and his face was often covered with bruises." After saying this, Mother Kong went to see Wang, all she could see was her twitching shoulders.

"Did the neighbor ever ask the child's name?"

Wang turned her head and looked at Mother Kong steadily. Mother Kong swallowed and said softly, "The little girl said her name was 'Zhizhi'".

Mother Guo quickly stepped forward to support the staggering Wang. Wang pinched Mother Guo's hand hard, and used her other hand to clench her fist and beat her chest, making a grunting sound.

If it was doubtful at the beginning and beyond doubt later, then it was now certain. Meng Wan was born in the year of the rat, and Wang gave her a nickname "Squeak".

When Mother Kong saw Wang's expression, she quickly wet a hot towel and handed it to her, letting Mother Guo wipe Wang's face, which was not sure whether it was sweat or tears.

"I'm fine. What did you find out?" Wang waved her hand and asked Guo's mother.

"Yes, I went to find the matchmaker. She still remembered Su Qing and said she was a thin girl like bean sprouts. She also said that the reason why the West House bought Su Qing was because Su Wanniang did not ask for money when she sold Su Qing, and even gave money to the matchmaker. Therefore, the matchmaker did not ask Yu Mama for money to sell Su Qing to the West House.

"It was precisely because she didn't spend any money that Mother Yu bought Su Qing in. And she also told me that Su Wanniang bought a little girl from her before she left Beijing." Mother Guo rubbed her waist, which was already injured after running all afternoon.

"Please sit down. If you didn't want too many people to know about this, there would be no need for you to make such a trip." Wang took the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes.

"What's the big deal? If it's really as we guessed, it's worth it even if I break my back running."

"What did that girl find out?" Wang asked.

Mother Guo continued, "The girl's home is in a village outside the city. We have arranged for someone to investigate to see if they can find out where Su Wanniang took her. But it's too late today. Even if we find out anything, the city gates will be closed. We won't know until tomorrow morning."

Wang nodded, "I must find that bitch, I must find her, I will chop her into pieces. I want to ask her why she treated my daughter like this, I want her to pay for the sins that Wanjie has endured for the past thirteen years."

"Madam, now that you have a clue, you must not be so excited. You can recognize the Second Miss right away. If you are not well, not to mention that this happiness will be reduced by half, wouldn't the Second Miss be anxious if she saw you? And you have to keep your body strong so that you can better protect the Second Miss."

Wang said, "Yes, that's right. I have to be well. My sister Wan has suffered so much injustice, I must compensate her and take good care of her. I want to make her a lot of clothes and headgear, and also find her a good husband. Oh, I have too many things to do. I can't be sick again. I have to get better. Where's the medicine? Have you taken it yet?"

Mother Guo saw Wang stand up, her face radiant, and she wiped her tears with joy, calling Hua Rui to bring in the medicine repeatedly.

Early the next morning, Wang came to Qinyuan and went to see Meng Qi first.

Meng Qi still didn't sleep well last night. As soon as she closed her eyes, Hong Zhe smiled at her gently, then took her hand and asked her if she was sad and if the Meng family had given her a hard time. He told her that he didn't mean it at the time, he just didn't expect her to be so bold that he was unprepared, and said that he had already talked to his parents and would come to propose marriage soon, and asked her to wait for him.

In a blink of an eye, Hong Zhe changed his expression and looked at her coldly, saying that since she was engaged, why did she bother him and made him so sad. He really couldn't take her away. He didn't want to be the person who was pointed at by others. Then he flicked his sleeves and walked farther and farther away, not turning back even though Meng Qi called him from behind.

Meng Qi turned around and saw Zhou Yu looking at her with a half-smile in his hand, holding a bright red wedding dress for her to wear. Meng Qi kept shaking her head, she didn't want to, she didn't want to marry this man. Zhou Yu frowned and said that she had brought shame to the Zhou family, and that the Meng family must marry a girl to her, otherwise he would not let her go.

In this way, Meng Qi cried and laughed at the same time, making Lixia and Suxin dare not close their eyes, and they finally managed to wake up until dawn.

Madam Liu sent the two maids back to rest, and Su Qing and Chuan'er came to serve. When Wang came in, Su Qing was wetting the towel to wipe Meng Qi's face.

"It's so hot, are you sincere?" Meng Qi waved her hand unhappily, and Su Qing's hand holding the handkerchief was thrown to the edge of the basin.

Mother Liu took the handkerchief from Su Qing's hand and said, "You too, you have been in the Fourth Young Lady's presence for such a long time, but you still can't even grasp the water temperature for the Fourth Young Lady to wash herself."

Wang looked at Meng Qi getting angry at Su Qing, and her anxious face turned cold. "It seems that you haven't realized your mistake, right?"

Everyone saw Wang come in and hurriedly greeted her. Meng Qi frowned when she saw her mother, "Mom..." and stretched out her hand towards Wang.

However, Wang ignored her and pulled Su Qing's hand to look at it. She saw that the back of her right hand turned purple in an instant.

Mother Liu looked at Wang's actions and looked at Mother Guo behind Wang in surprise. Mother Guo shook her head at her.

"You haven't realized your mistake yet, right?" Wang asked again with a cold face.

"Mom...I haven't slept well these past two days, I..."

"Do you know how big a mistake you made? Tell me clearly today what happened."

When Mother Liu heard what Wang said, she quickly sent everyone out of the room, leaving only Mother Guo.

"Mom, I know I was wrong, but, but, I don't want to marry Zhou Yu."

"You, you don't want to marry him and get on another man's carriage?"

"I, I just want... Mom..."

Wang saw Meng Qi start to cry, and sighed softly, "Do you know how difficult it is for our family now because of you? Now we can only wait for the response from Prince Shen's Mansion. If they cancel the engagement, we can't say a word of 'no'. If they don't say anything, we have to go to their house to apologize and find a good excuse for you."

"Mom, Zhou Yu will cancel the engagement, he will definitely do that." Meng Qi said excitedly.

"and then?"

"What then?"

"Mr. Zhou Er has called off the engagement. What about you? What will you do?"

Meng Qi's face suddenly turned red, and she pulled the tassels of the bed curtain and whispered, "Mom, can you send someone to Baron Bo's mansion? Master Hong San will come to propose marriage, I promise." After saying that, she looked up at Wang, her eyes sparkling.

Wang gritted her teeth, raised her hand and hit Meng Qi's still red and swollen face again.

"mother"

"lady"
