Chapter 30: Fake Daughter, Real Yandere (XIV)

"My Yi'er, my flesh, you were fine, why did you fall into the water?"

The lady stood by Zhou Yi's bed, talking in a low voice and wiping her tears.

She knew that Zhou Yi’s situation in the Marquis’ Mansion was not very good, but there was nothing she could do.

The Han family has chosen Zhou Qingcheng, so she must be the daughter of the Zhou family.

She cannot be an adopted daughter, and her identity cannot be flawed.

In this case, Yier will have to bear the consequences.

In fact, the lady was not sure whether Zhou Yi was a descendant of the Zhou family.

However, she raised Zhou Yi for more than ten years, investing her time and effort in him.

She really couldn't bear to do that.

If the Marquis's Mansion had not been at such a critical juncture, and if the matter had not concerned her only son, the Lady Dowager would not have wanted to wrong Zhou Yi.

"It's all Li's fault..."

The lady thought about it but couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on.

In the end, she still blamed everything on Li, the instigator.

Humph, if she hadn't insisted on going to the nunnery to "pray for blessings", how could she have caused such a ridiculous incident of taking the wrong child? In addition, Li was the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and she was in charge of everything inside and outside the mansion, including the maids and servants.

Now the prince has fallen into trouble. To put it bluntly, it is because of the incompetence of Li’s housekeeper.

"This cruel woman really doesn't feel sorry for the child she didn't raise!"

"She must be trying to pull my Yi Er down and let her Zhou Ren seize the position of the crown prince."

In Li's eyes, the lady was a complete fool.

However, the lady is definitely not a fool, as she was able to win in the inner courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion.

Therefore, she was very clear about Li's plan.

However, what does it matter if you understand? The current situation is developing in a direction that is favorable to the Li family.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Zhou Qingcheng married into the Cheng'en Mansion alone was enough to make the Li family the center of attention.

"Yier, don't worry, Grandma will definitely find a way to make sure that bitch's plot doesn't succeed!"

The Marquis' Mansion can only belong to Yier.

Blood relationship is not important at all. The children she raises will be close to her even if they are not of the Zhou family.

The lady clenched the rosary in her hand and thought bitterly.

Zhou Yi, lying on the hospital bed, had a pale face, his eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed.

His expression was painful, as if he was struggling with something, or as if he was trapped in a nightmare.

It was not until the lady got tired and got up and left, leaving Zhou Yi alone in the room, that he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Phew! It was just a dream!"

Zhou Yi saw everything around him clearly, and then he let out a long sigh as if he had survived a calamity.

He slowly calmed his pounding heart and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

After a long while, he murmured again, "Is it really just a dream?"

He didn't believe it because the dream was too real.

It was so real that he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.

Zhou Yi's eyes began to focus, and his expression gradually became serious. He finally made up his mind.

…

Zhou Yi's fall into the water was like a stone thrown into the sea, which did not cause any splash at all in the Marquis' Mansion.

The entire Zhou family, from Zhou Qi, Li to the maids and old women, were busy with Zhou Qingcheng's marriage.

The Cheng'en Mansion is in a hurry.

It only took a few days from proposing marriage to paying the betrothal gift and then to setting the wedding date.

The date for the wedding ceremony was set for a month later.

To put it nicely, the man was so eager because he liked Zhou Qingcheng too much and was eager to marry her home.

To put it bluntly, it is -

"Zhou Qingcheng, do you know why the Han family is in a hurry to marry you?"

Knowing that Zhou Qingcheng's wedding date had been set, Zhou Baozhu finally came out from her aunt's house.

She ran to Weirui Courtyard, looked at the beautiful and noble Zhou Qingcheng with jealousy, and said some malicious words.

"Know!"

Gu Qingcheng didn't even need to guess. Just by looking at the malice flashing in Zhou Baozhu's eyes, she knew that this cheap sister (or sister?) had bad intentions.

She uttered two words softly, choking Zhou Baozhu.

Zhou Baozhu's eyes widened. "What? You, you knew?"

Why was the Han family in such a hurry to get married? Why would they marry a woman like Zhou Qingcheng who only had good looks but a flawed identity... Zhou Baozhu had no answers to these questions in her previous life.

After being reborn, Zhou Baozhu did not stay in the marquis's mansion to be abused, but ran to her aunt's house.

Her aunt loved her, spoiled her, and was willing to teach her.

From her aunt, Zhou Baozhu learned about the private lives of many powerful and wealthy families in Beijing.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This included the "battle between legitimate and illegitimate children" in Duke Cheng'en's mansion.

Zhou Baozhu then realized that the "good marriage" that she had been worrying about all her life was actually just shiny on the surface but dirty on the inside.

Knowing this, Zhou Baozhu felt both disappointed and excited.

Her loss was due to her muddled past life - I was so stupid that I regretted it for so many years because of such a bastard and even became enemies with my parents because of it.

What made her excited was that in her previous life, in a place unknown to her, Zhou Qingcheng must have had a miserable life.

On the surface, she looks glorious, but in fact, she is suppressed by a concubine. Tsk tsk, how aggrieved she is. Doesn't Zhou Qingcheng have to hide in her room and wipe her tears every day? What's even better is that in this life, Zhou Qingcheng still has to marry Han Erlang, such an unreliable dandy.

When I thought about Zhou Qingcheng just getting married and having a concubine with a big belly serving her tea...

Haha! Hahahaha!

Zhou Baozhu would wake up laughing even in her dreams.

In excitement, Zhou Baozhu didn't bother to get angry with Li and returned to the Marquis' Mansion by herself.

She wanted to tell Zhou Qingcheng some inside information in person, and then see with her own eyes her pale and frustrated look!

However, Zhou Baozhu never expected that Zhou Qingcheng would not follow her script at all.

"Yes! My mother told me about the Han family's situation a long time ago!"

Seeing Zhou Baozhu's stupid look, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Li is so smart, how could she give birth to such a fool like Zhou Baozhu? What Gu Qingcheng couldn't understand was that such a Zhou Baozhu was actually the protagonist of a storybook! "Maybe, this is called stupid people have stupid luck?"

This was the only way Gu Qingcheng could help find an excuse.

Huoshui: ...I never knew that someone as noble as Gu Qingcheng would be so critical.

"Han Erlang has a confidante, and that woman seems to be pregnant."

Gu Qingcheng complained in her heart while pretending to be indifferent and said to Zhou Baozhu, "The Han family is so anxious, probably because they don't want to make a big deal out of it."

If Han Erlang had found a new wife earlier, and had his concubine serve tea to her and confirmed their status, there would have been no scandal.

Holding the wedding early will benefit the Han family, the Marquis's Mansion, and the cousin who is suspected to be pregnant.

The only one who will suffer the injustice is probably the new bride "Zhou Qingcheng".

However, Gu Qingcheng did not feel wronged at all, but rather somewhat complacent, "Baozhu, you may not know that our mansion is not as rich and stable as it looks on the surface."

"Although my father is a marquis, he has never had real power."

The Zhou family has already shown signs of decline.

On the other hand, the Cheng'en Mansion has military power and the emperor's favor, and it is flourishing and prosperous.

Zhou Qingcheng's marriage into the Han family was definitely a marriage of high status.

So, Gu Qingcheng pretended to be happy and said, "Alas, if Han Erlang didn't have this little shortcoming, with our Zhou family's status, I would not be qualified to marry into the Cheng'en Mansion."

Zhou Baozhu: ...

Huh? Yes!

How could she have forgotten this? The Zhou family had fallen into decline, and even if Han Erlang was a poor man, he was still the eldest son of the Cheng'en Mansion and the Queen's younger brother.

Zhou Qingcheng definitely got a great bargain by marrying him!

As for Zhou Baozhu, even finding a husband's family similar to the Han family is just a daydream, let alone surpassing her!
