Chapter 47: Fake Heiress, Really Sickly (Thirty-one)

Of course, everything in the dream is not completely different from reality.

For example, Zhou Qingcheng in the dream was also very beautiful, but not as beautiful as she is now.

There was also Han Ding, the prince of Cheng'en. In the dream, he did not accompany Zhou Qingcheng back home for three days.

However, Zhou Yi did not deny the entire dream because of this slight difference.

There's no way, the dream was too real and it matched many situations in reality.

Moreover, even if he had not had that dream, Zhou Yi did not want to continue staying in the Zhou family.

As long as he stays in the Zhou family and sits on the throne of the crown prince, he will be a thorn in the eyes and flesh of some people.

He doesn't want to fall into the water again.

The feeling of being powerless to struggle in the water and the feeling of suffocating to death are so terrible.

[I am not a descendant of the Zhou family. Being able to enjoy sixteen years of prosperity and wealth is already a great blessing. I dare not be too greedy.]

[What? Maybe Zhou Qingcheng was adopted? ]

[No! I have a feeling that I am the fake one. Because my mother's attitude towards me is too obvious!]

[It’s not because of the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it’s not because of venting anger on others, and it’s not because I didn’t grow up with my mother…]

As the person involved, Zhou Yi always felt that Li's attitude towards him was strange.

She didn't hate herself, but she didn't like herself either.

Before her second brother Zhou Ren was born, Li could still act like a loving mother in front of him.

But by the time the second brother was born and was slowly being taken care of, Li was too lazy to even pretend.

Others said that Li was angry with her mother-in-law and deliberately looked down on her son who was raised by her mother-in-law.

But Zhou Yi didn't think so.

Because even if it is "disgust", it itself is a strong emotion.

And Li was completely indifferent to himself.

It is very likely that Li had known for a long time that he was not her biological child.

Zhou Yi's suspicion was not groundless; he had already noticed it.

Or is Zhou Ren’s birth the boundary?

Before Zhou Ren was born, Li was concerned about Zhou Yi's studies and, while acting like a loving mother, she would urge him to make progress.

With Zhou Ren, Li shifted all his focus to him.

As for Zhou Yi, he just let it go.

【Too much praise! 】

Zhou Yi knew the story of "Duke Zheng defeated Duke Duan in Yan", so he knew very well what "flattery to death" meant.

Combined with some scenes in his dream, Zhou Yi became more and more certain that he was indeed not a descendant of the Zhou family.

The reason why the wrong child was taken away was probably not an "accident" as Li said.

But she did it on purpose.

Zhou You, born to Aunt Shen, is only one month younger than Zhou Yi!

Aunt Shen was the most beloved concubine of Jingning Marquis Zhou Qi, and both the Lady Dowager and Zhou Xian held her in high esteem.

Madam Li had a difficult life back then. If she hadn't had a son, she might have been suppressed by Aunt Shen.

If things go wrong, even the title of Crown Prince may be snatched away by the "eldest son of a concubine".

Zhou Yi knelt on the floor of the main room and clenched his fists.

So what if he guessed the truth?

He had no evidence! The only thing he could do now was to leave the Zhou family and return to where he should have been—the Gu family! In the dream, the longing and inferiority complex of the middle-aged couple deeply hurt Zhou Yi's heart.

They were his biological parents, but because of an "accident", they were separated for more than ten years.

He is the only son in the Gu family.

In the countryside, if you don’t have a son, you will be considered extinct and will be looked down upon.

Gu's father and mother were diligent and capable. They purchased dozens of acres of fertile land and a small courtyard in the town.

They didn't think of adopting a child, but wanted one of their three daughters to marry into the family, at least to continue the family bloodline.

However, Gu's grandfather and clan members disagreed.

Gu's father had brothers, and each of his brothers had three or four sons.

Even if Father Gu has no biological nephews, there are still many young nephews and nieces in the clan.

The Gu family's meaning was very clear, the Gu family's property must be left to the Gu family, not some outsider who married into the family! Just when Gu's father and mother were being forced by their family and clan, the matter of the real and fake daughter came to light.

While Father and Mother Gu were shocked, they were also secretly delighted.

That’s great, we, we still have our biological son.

Although they didn't grow up by my side, they are still my biological children.

If possible, they don't want their daughter to marry a son-in-law.

First of all, people from other families are not as reliable as our own family members.

Secondly, the men who are willing to marry into the wife's family are either poor or cowardly. How can they be good men?

Now, I have my own son, who has been able to read and write since he was young, and is also a noble prince——

Crown Prince?

Mr. and Mother Gu hesitated.

As parents, we all want our children to live a good life from the bottom of our hearts.

Although their Gu family is not poor, it is completely incomparable to a real marquis's mansion.

Furthermore, the Marquis' Mansion has never determined which child was taken away by mistake.

They just took Gu Erya away but never proposed to give another child back to the Gu family.

Gu's father and mother did not dare to take the initiative and could only secretly inquire about the news of the Marquis' Mansion.

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

It was not until they heard that Zhou Yi was suspected to be a mistaken child, accidentally fell into the water and nearly died, that Gu's father and mother could not help but bravely ran to the Marquis' Mansion to "recognize him".

But in the dream, Zhou Yi despised the Gu family and looked down on Gu's father and mother, and actually drove them away.

He was shameless and stayed in the Zhou family.

Although he was changed from a legitimate son to an adopted son, he also lost his position as the crown prince.

But the lady was still very kind to him, and Li was not too hostile to him.

Relying on this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhou Yi still lived a wealthy life in the marquis's mansion.

As for what will happen to the Gu family, he doesn't care at all. It probably won't have a good ending.

However, Zhou Yi himself did not end up well.

He stayed in the marquis's mansion and his life was indeed quite good.

But after all, it is not as glorious as when he was the crown prince in the past.

Zhou Baozhu is a woman who loves to play tricks. Zhou Yi in the dream is selfish and stupid, and he actually gets involved with Zhou Baozhu.

The two of them made a fuss together, and finally, Zhou Baozhu was sent to a nunnery, while Zhou Yi was severely beaten by Madam Li and driven out of the mansion.

He was seriously injured and lived on the streets. In less than a day, he died of high fever due to inflammation of the wound!

Hiss! Thinking of his own ending in the dream again, Zhou Yi shuddered.

Well, if not for anything else, even if it was just to change his own destiny, he had to stay away from the Zhou family and Zhou Baozhu.

"Grandma, I know you love me and don't want to let me go, but my identity is awkward, and it's not appropriate for me to stay in the Zhou family."

Zhou Yi knew that in the entire Zhou family, except for his grandmother, the Lady Dowager, no one would be reluctant to part with him.

Looking up, he saw the lady's shocked and reluctant expression.

Before the lady could speak, Zhou Yi said, "I'd better leave. It is a great blessing for me to be able to sit in the arms of my grandmother for more than ten years."

A person's blessings are limited.

If you spend too much in the first half of your life, the second half of your life is destined to be miserable and tragic.

Zhou Yi doesn't have much ambition, he just wants to live a peaceful and stable life.

It’s not bad to go back to the Gu family and become a small landlord.

Although he did not have much talent for studying, he read a lot of books.

Zhou Yi felt that it should not be a problem for him to pass the examinations to become a scholar or a juren.

By then, he could open a private school in the countryside and life would not be too difficult.

Another point is that he is "informed and interesting" enough, and Mrs. Li should be very satisfied.

If she loosened her grip slightly, Zhou Yi's second half of life wouldn't be too difficult.

Zhou Yi considered everything very carefully, so his attitude was particularly firm: "Grandma, you should let your grandson leave."

The old lady burst into tears, feeling that her heart and soul were being taken away by someone.

She looked at Zhou Qi, her eyes full of pleading: Son, can't you keep Yi'er here? If not the crown prince, then an adopted son will do.

Zhou Qi subconsciously looked at Mrs. Li.

Madam Li shook her head gently, and raised her chin in the direction of Gu Qingcheng: "My Lord, Qingcheng is our legitimate daughter. If Zhou Yi stays, it will only add to the gossip!" When Zhou Qi mentioned "Zhou Qingcheng" and the Han family she represented, he immediately made up his mind.

Today, Prince Han personally accompanied Qingcheng back home, which shows how much he values ​​his wife and Yue family.

In order to further strengthen the relationship with Cheng'en Mansion, Zhou Qi decided to listen to Li! Seeing this, the lady squeezed the rosary in her hand.

She knew that she had lost to Li again.

Li lowered her head and pressed the corners of her lips with a handkerchief to hide her smug smile.

Gu Qingcheng, who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, found that a certain guess she had made before became clearer and more profound.

In the evening, when she came out of Zhou's house and sat in the carriage, her little face looked solemn.

Han Ding smiled, "What's wrong?"

This little idiot, has he finally discovered that something is wrong with the Zhou family? PS: My period is hurting, so I won’t update today, I’ll continue tomorrow!
