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

Chapter 125 Satisfactory Solution

Wang listened to Su Qing's laughter coming from the west room, and the corners of her mouth curved up, "This child, happiness is always so simple. Since she came to my side, I have never seen her unhappy. She is always smiling, which is really comfortable to look at."

"That's right. Since the second young lady moved in, you can have an extra small bowl of rice every day."

"Well, seeing her sitting next to me, everything I eat tastes sweet. But Sister Qi is still indifferent to Sister Wan." Wang rubbed her eyebrows, "I don't care about the attitudes of Jiang and Zhang, and I don't care about the eldest and the third. But Sister Qi is different. They are sisters. I am really afraid of Sister Qi's temper. In the future, when the sisters go out and come in, they will embarrass Sister Wan again."

Mother Guo smiled and said, "The palace has sent word that she will leave the palace at the end of the month. Don't worry, Shitou's father is watching her and will bring her here as soon as she comes out. We will let her teach her for a while, and the fourth young lady will definitely not do this again."

After serving the tea to Wang, he continued, "As for getting along with the Second Miss, you don't have to worry. First, the Second Miss is a good person and won't argue with the Fourth Miss. She will always go along with the Fourth Miss if there's anything going on. Second, getting along takes time. The Fourth Miss is used to the Second Miss's previous identity. It's only been a few days since she was asked to change. How can she change so quickly?"

Wang nodded. As they were talking, Mother Kong came in outside to ask for a meeting.

"What did you say? The Marquis of Pingxi is here?"

"Yes, I just came back from dealing with Su Wanniang's matter, and I saw the Marquis of Pingxi and our Marquis going to the Marquis's outer study."

After Su Wanniang returned, she couldn't get up. She held on for several days and passed away the night before yesterday.

Thinking about the arrangements she had promised her after her death, Wang sent Mother Kong to take a look.

"Marquis Pingxi doesn't usually interact with us, let alone come to our house in person."

Because the incident with Meng Qi happened in the Pingxi Marquis's mansion, Wang was very concerned about the arrival of the Pingxi Marquis. However, they could not get any information from Meng Changfeng's outer study.

"Madam, could it be related to the matter of the fourth young lady?"

"You think so too?"

"It's been so long, maybe Lord Zhou Er has made a decision, but he can't send someone from the palace to tell him, so he can only ask a middleman, and Lord Pingxi is the most suitable one, after all, this is an accident that happened in their palace."

Wang stood up. Yes, she thought so too.

——————

The outer courtyard study of Lord Huainan, Meng Changfeng.

Meng Changfeng was very surprised at the arrival of Pingxi Hou. It took only one hour from the time he received the invitation to the time he came to the door. How urgent must this be?

Meng Changfeng personally went to the gate to welcome Pingxi Hou. The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Pingxi Hou did not beat around the bush and spoke directly, "What do you think of the marriage with Prince Shen's mansion?"

When Meng Changfeng heard this, he knew that he had guessed right. It had been more than ten days, and the family had been busy with Meng Wan's affairs. The palace might also know about these things, and they brought up this matter right after the matter was about to come to an end.

But what is the purpose of Marquis Pingxi's visit? When he brought his eldest son to the house that day, he had agreed to wait for Master Zhou's decision, and then they would reveal the news. If it really comes to the point of breaking off the engagement, as the party at fault, Wang will just have to go.

Although Meng Changfeng was extremely unwilling to accept such an outcome, he could not say a word against it as the palace insisted.

"It's not my turn to think. Although this is a misunderstanding, it was Miss Meng who made the mistake first. Let's just wait and see what the palace thinks." Meng Changfeng said helplessly.

"I heard that the second young lady of the Meng family who just came back is very good, kind-hearted, gentle and decent, and has a beautiful face."

Meng Changfeng didn't expect that Lord Pingxi would ask about Meng Wan. He smiled and waved his hands, "He is just an ordinary child. But after so many years in the nunnery, his mind has become pure and peaceful. He is a sensible and reasonable child."

Pingxi Marquis stroked his beard and smiled, "You are also aware of the intention of the palace regarding the matter of Fourth Miss Meng. It is a pity to just give up like this."

Meng Changfeng nodded. Meng Qi's marriage was the most prestigious one among his grandchildren. He had thought that with this marriage, the Huainan Marquisate would have some support in front of the emperor. But now, it was all ruined by that damn girl.

"That's exactly what I said. We have been insisting on not canceling the engagement not for any other reason, but because this marriage was decided by the late princess. If we cancel it, even our family will feel sorry for the deceased. It's just..."

"I have a good idea that can save the relationship between the two families."

Meng Changfeng frowned, "What do you mean, Lord?"

"It means that we can both avoid breaking off the engagement and not embarrass Miss Four."

"Oh?" Meng Changfeng stared at Pingxi Hou.

"No one in the capital knew that the second young lady entered the nunnery. It's amazing that the Marquis managed to hold the second young lady's funeral in such a grand manner under such difficult circumstances."

Meng Changfeng didn't know what Pingxi Houye meant by this. Was he trying to belittle him? Before he could open his mouth, Pingxi Houye continued,

"Now everyone in the capital knows that the second young lady went to the nunnery to pray for the Meng family. But there is one more thing they don't know. In fact, she was also the one engaged to the second young master of the Shen County Prince's Mansion. She just doesn't live in the mansion, so everyone has always misunderstood her as the fourth young lady."

Meng Changfeng stood up with a cry. What a wonderful idea! Why didn't he think of it?

That’s right, a substitute marriage.

"My Lord, you have really helped me a lot." Meng Changfeng bowed to the Marquis of Pingxi.

Pingxi Marquis stood up and held Meng Changfeng with his hand. "Don't say that. No matter what, the misunderstanding of the fourth lady happened in my house. My wife and I are also worried. When I heard that your second lady had come down the mountain, I thought of this possibility. If the Marquis thinks so, this matter must be dealt with quickly. It is better to deal with it together while everyone is still discussing the second lady Meng."

That's right, that's right. Meng Changfeng paced back and forth, thinking about Zhou Yiheng's attitude when he came that day. Although Hu tried her best to withdraw, the prince did not nod. That's good. It's great, great to push Sister Wan out at this time.

Thinking of this, Meng Changfeng bowed to the Marquis of Pingxi again, "Don't bother two masters with one thing. Can you please be the middleman in this matter? The prince's side..."

Lord Pingxi smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll make another trip."

Two days later, Meng Yuan and Wang went to Songhe Garden again. After listening to Meng Changfeng's rare smile when he told this story, both Meng Yuan and Wang were in disbelief.

Wang suddenly had tears in her eyes. Meng Wan recognized her at the right time. Not only did he save her life, he also helped Meng Qi so much.

She agreed with Meng Changfeng's idea one hundred times. What could be better than this? Meng Qi didn't have to marry into the palace, and her obsession was resolved. She didn't have to break off the engagement with the palace, and she could live up to Sister Min's feelings. The Marquis would be satisfied if a girl married into the palace, and he wouldn't be angry about breaking off the engagement with Meng Qi.

After the joy, Wang calmed down, but she didn’t know what Sister Wan was thinking.

Meng Yuan was also very happy that the Prince Shen's Mansion had agreed to this matter. He had never heard of it before and thought that he could no longer become a relative of the prince's mansion, but he did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events.

"Dad, have you sent over Sister Wan's horoscope? I don't know if it's compatible. Do you want your son to go to Qingming Mountain?"

"Yes, yes, we must ask Master Fang Zhi to take a look and make sure the princess does not say anything else." Song was also very happy. She thought that she had not shown much enthusiasm since Su Qing recognized her as her ancestor. It seemed that she had to take good care of her granddaughter.

"Don't worry, it has to be compatible whether it's compatible or not. Moreover, the prince is also very happy with our idea. Madam, this Wanjie is really the lucky star of our family. In my opinion, we should add two more layers to the original example given to Qijie."

Song nodded happily, "I just don't know when the palace wants to decide?"

"That's not set yet, but I think the sooner the better. Mr. Zhou will be twenty after the new year, and Miss Wan will be seventeen. We can't delay it any longer."

A few people were chatting and laughing, but no one noticed that Wang was sitting there with her brows furrowed in thought.
