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

Chapter 116 I have an idea

Zhou Yu, who had just been listening with great interest and blinking his eyes, blushed for no reason when he heard Xu Cheng asking him the reason. He turned the tea in his hand for a long time without saying anything.

Xu Cheng and Zhou Yingrong looked at each other and were both confused.

"Brother-in-law, sister, this is what I think. This marriage was arranged by mother, and it would be unfilial to cancel it like this. And if it is canceled, the one who will get what she wants the most is Hu. Also, if it is canceled like this, it will be difficult for us to find out what role Hongzhe played in this matter. What I mean is that if I insist on this marriage, then Hu will definitely be confused, and she will definitely make the next move. Hongzhe may even help, and then we can follow the clues to find out the real reason. After all, Hongzhe is backed by King Jing. The more we can find about him, the better it will be for Master Lin."

"But you, can you bear it? Let's not talk about the friendship that Meng Qi has for Hong Zhe. Even if you two get married in the future, she will be coaxed by Hu and will be alienated from you with just a few words. At that time, Hu's knife will not only be on your doorstep, but also hanging on your bedside." Zhou Yingrong said, reaching out and holding Zhou Yu's hand.

"Ayu, I know your concerns. You are doing this for our sake. Master Lin has already said that it would be better if the Huainan Marquisate could strive for it. If it fails, there is no need to feel sorry. He fully respects your own ideas on this matter. If you don't cancel the marriage, it will be too unfair for you."

Zhou Yu felt the heat on his face slowly subside, and he cleared his throat and said, "What I mean is that if I don't break off the engagement with the Huainan Marquisate, on the one hand, I won't make things difficult for Master Lin, and on the other hand, I won't let the Hu family be proud. But I don't want to marry that idiot Meng Qi again."

"Who to marry then?"

"You're calling him an idiot again?"

The couple said in unison.

Xu Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, you want to marry the second young lady?"

"Ah?" Zhou Yingrong stood up. "You're crazy. You don't even know where that second young lady came from. Even if she is really the second young lady of the Meng family, she has been kept away for so many years. Who knows what kind of personality and temper she has? It is possible that she can't read. The matter of the Meng family is originally strange. This second young lady may be a victim of the inner house's secrets. How can such an unknown person marry you? No, I don't agree. Break off the engagement. You don't have to say anything. I will go home with your brother-in-law now. No matter what method I use, I will make my father agree to my conditions."

Seeing Zhou Yingrong's frosty face, Zhou Yu touched his nose and said hesitantly, "Well, the new second young lady is very good, very good."

"how do you know?"

Zhou Yu looked at the four eyes staring at him, and his face suddenly turned red. This time it was even redder than before. Zhou Yu just thought that the study of the prince of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion might not have a roof, allowing the sun to tan him like this.

"Oh, well, I'll just say it out loud." Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "According to what Wu Hen found out, the second young lady of the Meng family was originally named Su Qing."

"Su Qing? Su Qing?" Zhou Yingrong whispered the name. Before she could say anything, Xu Cheng asked, "Is she the brave girl you borrowed from the Huainan Marquis' Mansion under your sister's name to take care of Wu Hen last time?"

Zhou Yingrong also remembered what her husband said. She had never seen it, but Wu Hen was in great danger at that time, Qing Ning had not been found, and she could not just find someone to take care of him. First, it had to be kept secret, and second, Wu Hen's wound was very scary, and ordinary people were afraid of it.

At that time, Zhou Yu said that he had a candidate, but he just wanted to borrow it from Huainan Marquis Mansion under his own name. At first, she really didn't understand how her brother knew and understood so much about a maid from Huainan Marquis Mansion. Later, she found out that it was someone close to Meng Qi, so she thought that although Zhou Yu said that he hated Meng Qi, she was his fiancée after all, so he still paid attention to her.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Xu Cheng actually knew more about Su Qing than Zhou Yingrong. "Is she the girl that Hongliang said you chased after in Baojintang last time?"

"Brother Yue San told you?"

"Well, your Third Brother Yue said he had never seen you so excited. He stared at the person's back for a long time, and as soon as the person turned his head slightly, he ran away like a rabbit."

"It's not that exaggerated. I just haven't seen you for a long time and wanted to chat for a while."

Zhou Yingrong looked at Zhou Yu who lowered his head again. What was there to not understand? It turned out that her brother had already noticed the girl.

"I remember now. Last time you said you wanted to break off the engagement with the Huainan Marquisate and let them compensate you. You wanted a maid. Could it be this Su Qing?"

Seeing that Zhou Yingrong had already said so much, Zhou Yu simply stopped talking and said, "Yes, it's her. She and I have a special affinity. The first time I saw her was when Mrs. Hu asked the guards to take me back to question the young prostitute..."

Xu Cheng and his wife listened to Zhou Yu talking about his encounters with Su Qing again and again, and the people who helped her lead Hu away, and bandaged his wounds. When she was taking care of Wu Hen, she knew his identity, but she was not at all flattering or nervous. When they met again, she didn't reveal it at all. When Meng Qi happened, she was afraid that he would be sad, so she asked him if he was okay and comforted him.

Zhou Yingrong looked at the smile on Zhou Yu's face when he mentioned Su Qing. What else could she not understand? Her brother must have liked someone for a long time. She had reason to believe that Su Qing must be the reason why Zhou Yu had not decided whether to cancel the engagement.

Su Qing was Meng Qi's maid, and she would be married off as a dowry if nothing unexpected happened. Zhou Yu had clearly asked himself if it would be ok if he married Meng Qi and left her there, and then he would find someone he liked and take care of all his affairs. He was afraid that the person he liked was Su Qing.

Only if he married Meng Qi would he and Su Qing have a chance.

"According to what you said, this matter is even more complicated. A daughter of a marquis's mansion, and a legitimate daughter, has actually been a maid in her own home for two years, and the one she serves is her own sister." Xu Cheng frowned, "It seems that this Su Qing is the legitimate second daughter of the Meng family. As for the reason for the current situation, we will have to investigate it slowly."

Xu Cheng patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said, "If that's the case, your idea is not bad."

"Right, brother-in-law, my idea is good. We don't have to cancel the engagement, and we can make Mrs. Hu crazy."

"You can also marry the one you love." Zhou Yingrong said jokingly.

Zhou Yu chuckled, "I just like her. I wasn't sure at first, but I was happy when I thought of her. When I heard her call me Wang Xiaoer, I felt comfortable all over. Until last time in the tea shop, I saw her talking to me so coquettishly, and I felt so happy in my heart that even the idiot thing didn't matter so much."

Zhou Yu was immersed in his own thoughts, and continued with a smile on his face, "I couldn't sleep when I went back that night. She was all on my mind. But I knew that if I didn't marry Meng Qi, I would never have any contact with her again. So, I was thinking if you could think of a way to get her to the palace with some excuse."

"What? Bring her to the palace to be your concubine?"

"How is that possible? I will not let her be my concubine."

"But if there was no Meng Qi incident, and she was included in the dowry, if you wanted to have anything with her, wouldn't it be like having her as a concubine or a maid?" Zhou Yingrong said.

Zhou Yu shook his head. "I won't let her be a concubine. You all misunderstood me. Even if I marry Meng Qi and Su Qing follows her to our house, I will let her manage everything I have. I won't let her down. As long as I have her by my side, I can hear her voice and see her appearance. I don't care about anything else."

Zhou Yingrong glanced at Xu Cheng in surprise. She really didn't expect that Zhou Yu was so devoted to Su Qing. There was no possession, no lust, he was just by her side, just accompanying her.

Zhou Yingrong suddenly felt sad. Her poor brother lacked love in such a big palace, especially after she got married. He was facing a group of tigers and wolves alone. Not only did no one care about him, but also set traps for him everywhere, and he was involved in one conspiracy or conspiracy after another.

And now he had found the girl he liked, and he was satisfied just by seeing her and hearing her voice.
