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

"So, Madam believes that this servant is..."

"I told you not to call yourself a slave anymore." Wang said gently, "Yes, you are my daughter. Your name is Meng Wan, the second daughter of the Meng family. Because you were born in the year of the rat, I nicknamed you 'Squeak'."

"Don't you need further confirmation? I mean, find Su Wanniang and ask her clearly?"

"No need. Let's not talk about whether Su Wanniang can be found or not. It would be best if she can be found. I must find out why she did this. If she is so vicious just because she failed to enter the Meng family smoothly, I will find a way to deal with her. But if there is someone else behind this, then I will not let go of anyone involved in this matter."

A firmness emerged on Wang's gentle face, which shows that a woman's bottom line must be her children.

"Don't do anything now, and don't interfere with Sister Qi's affairs. I will tell Liu Yong's family not to assign you any work. I will ask Qiuxia to send you a little maid, and you can tell her to do anything. We will discuss the rest after everything is confirmed. I will also choose a housekeeper for you and a few maids that suit your taste."

Wang spoke excitedly, and suddenly clapped her hands, "Oh, Qiuxia, we have to go to Xiangyun Temple and remove Sister Wan's tablet. As for the tomb, we need to ask Master Fang Zhi to see how to deal with it so that it will not affect Sister Wan's future."

Madam Guo stepped forward with a smile and said, "Madam, there is no rush for these things. We must first clarify the matter. Also, I think we should first think about how to tell the Marquis, Madam, and the Prince about this matter. It is true that the identity of the Second Miss should be made public first."

"That's right, that's right, let's discuss this carefully." Wang happily took Su Qing's hand, "Sister Wan, you can stay in Qin Garden for a few more days. Mother promised you that she would take you to Shanzhi Hall in a few days."

Su Qing was speechless. Nothing had happened yet and he already started calling me Sister Wan or Mom. Please at least give me some time to get used to it, even though I am very happy to be called that.

Seeing Wang was about to leave, Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "Madam, you just said you would send a little girl to be with me. Can I choose one myself?"

"Of course, who do you like?" Wang said happily.

Su Qing thought about how Cai'er had been talking about a way to get Shanling to Qinyuan every day but she never had the chance. Seeing Shanling being bullied in the small kitchen but unable to help, Su Qing thought about taking this opportunity to transfer Shanling out to make Cai'er happy.

"It's like this. There's a girl named Shan Ling in your small kitchen. I have a good relationship with her and the food she cooks is also good. I want her to come to my side, but don't ask her to serve me. Just ask her to take me with her. Is that okay?"

"Okay, why not, Qiuxia, you arrange it right away." Wang now wished that Su Qing would make demands to her every day.

Madam Liu escorted Wang out of Qin Garden and stood at the door for a long time without moving. Wang had stayed in Su Qing's room for such a long time, and when she came out, she told herself that she was not allowed to assign any work to Su Qing in the future, and she was not allowed to serve Meng Qi anymore.

Not only that, he also specially transferred Shan Ling from the small kitchen, saying that she was there to learn the rules from Su Qing, and usually only listened to Su Qing's arrangements.

I know Su Qing saved the wife of the prince, but the wife's behavior is too incomprehensible. Shouldn't we focus more on the fourth young lady in the current situation? Even if she saved me, I would just give her some silver or a promotion. What's this? Giving her a second-class maid and a special maid, and then I, the head housekeeper of the courtyard, can't arrange work for Su Qing?

Wang came out of Qin Garden and went to Songhe Garden. Seeing that Wang looked fine, Song felt relieved.

"Do you know what the Marquis means?"

"Yes, the prince has already told his daughter-in-law."

"Let's do it this way for now. The Marquis has already brought the Crown Prince to the Prince's Mansion this morning. I just don't know if they will open the door or see us." Song said self-deprecatingly.

Wang's face flushed, "My daughter-in-law is incompetent, and it makes it difficult for my father and mother."

"Well, it's not all your fault. After all, we doted on Sister Qi too much. In addition, Sister Qi is too innocent and thinks simply. I always feel that this matter will not be as Mr. Hong San said. What did you find out?"

Wang said softly, "My daughter-in-law was just about to report this to mother. Actually..." Wang told Song the whole story. Song frowned and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Sister Qi wouldn't lie. You know Sister Qi best. She always follows us when she goes out, and she is always surrounded by maids and servants. Even if she is innocent, she wouldn't do this just because she only met once. It must be that Third Master Hong gave her some hint, which made Sister Qi misunderstand."

Wang didn't tell Meng Qi what she had read in the storybook and what she had heard at Meng Juan's birthday party. She could conclude that the third house was involved in this matter. If she told them, she didn't know what would happen to Song, but Meng Changfeng would definitely clear the third house, because the Meng family still relied on Meng Hai. So, she wanted to investigate it slowly by herself. If it was really Liu or Meng Juan who played a supporting role, then she would handle the matter by herself, no matter how long it took, she would make the third house pay the price.

"Damn it! I told you that no matter how ignorant Sister Qi is, she would never do such a thing. That's for sure. What is Hong Jiaan thinking? Is he trying to embarrass the Prince's Mansion?"

Wang also thought of this possibility. "Maybe. I really can't guess what's going on with the man outside. But it's incomprehensible that he used our sister Qi as a scapegoat, and he even forgot to explain it to mother and father. Although sister Qi was wrong, Mr. Hong San did too much."

Song nodded, said something to Wang, asking her to take care of her health, and then let her go.

"Madam, do you believe what the Crown Prince's wife said?" Mother Wu stepped forward and asked.

"I don't know either. The Marquis told me yesterday that Wang would definitely find a reasonable excuse to explain this matter. She would definitely minimize Sister Qi's mistakes. If nothing else, if the Zhou family canceled the engagement and the Hong family couldn't marry into the family, she would always strive for the best for Sister Qi. So, I only believe half of what she said. We can't confront Mr. Hong San about what she said."

Mother Wu nodded, "I don't know if there will be any result when the Marquis goes to the palace today."

"Who knows? It would be best if we don't cancel the engagement, otherwise our Huainan Marquisate will lose face."

Mother Kong saw Wang coming back in a sedan chair and hurried forward to speak, but was stopped by Mother Guo. After the three people entered the house, Mother Kong could not wait to step forward and said, "Found it."

"Ah? Really? Where is it?" Wang asked repeatedly.

"It's not far from your Qingshui Manor, in a small village nearby. Su Wanniang rented a house there with her newly bought maid. She seemed to be ill, the kind of illness that only people get in a hospital. The maid was bought to serve her, and she was not allowed to go home. But she was seriously ill a while ago, and when the maid went back to the city to get medicine, she went back home on the way, and we found her based on this clue."

"So, it's a disease of the intestine?" asked Guo's mother.

"Well, the girl said that it was all rotten down there and it smelled bad."

After listening to what Mother Kong said, Mother Guo waved her hand in disdain and turned to look at Wang.

"She didn't find out, did she?" Wang asked.

"No, I don't know what Madam means yet, so I dare not alert the enemy. The people I sent were only to get information. I was afraid that the girl would tell Su Wanniang, so I specially left two people to watch."

Wang nodded, "Qiuxia, how is your waist?"

"It's okay. Madam, do you want me to bring her back?"

"Yes, I don't feel comfortable with anyone else going, so you can go, but don't bring him to the mansion first. Take him to Jinming Hutong."

There is a two-story house in Jinming Hutong, which was Wang’s dowry, located in the south of the city.
