"Baozhu, I know you're worried about me! Don't worry, after I marry into the Duke's Mansion, I will definitely serve my mother-in-law and husband well!"

"Also, you don't have to worry too much. You are the same age as me. I will be getting married next month, so your wedding will not be too far away."

"You've suffered a lot out there for over a decade, and I remember all of that. I'll definitely make good plans for you and find you a great family!"

Gu Qingcheng persuaded with a teasing tone.

As a pure ancient native, Gu Qingcheng certainly didn't know what green tea and white lotus were.

But, there are only a few types of women.

She came from a noble family and married into the royal family of the Northern Dynasty. She then assisted her husband in ascending the throne.

She was very familiar with many of the little tricks and maneuvers among women.

He didn't even have to think about it. Just copying the way the little troublemakers and bitches spoke was enough to provoke the anger of someone as straightforward as Zhou Baozhu.

really--

Bang!

Zhou Baozhu stood up suddenly.

Her force was so strong that it knocked the drum stool she was sitting on over with a dull thud.

Zhou Baozhu was so angry that her eyes turned red. She pointed a trembling finger at Gu Qingcheng, "Zhou Qingcheng, you, you should not be so complacent!"

Gu Qingcheng continued to act like a green tea girl, pretending to be puzzled and said, "Proud? I'm not proud. Besides, I wasn't talking about my own affairs just now. I was trying to persuade you!"

Zhou Baozhu was so angry that she was gasping for breath. The finger she was pointing at Gu Qingcheng was shaking as if she had Parkinson's disease. "You, you did it on purpose!"

Knowing that Li was biased, he deliberately said such words to provoke her.

Also, "Zhou Qingcheng" just said that the Zhou family has been in decline, and it is a great blessing for her to marry Han Erlang, who had a child before marriage.

Then she turned around and said that Li would arrange a good marriage for Zhou Baozhu.

What a good marriage?

If there is a family more powerful than the Han family, how despicable must the son of that family be to choose the daughter of the impoverished Zhou family?

They are not as good as the Han family. Even if their son is capable, they are just a small family. How can it be considered a good marriage?

In her previous life, Mrs. Li found her a man who was said to be very motivated and promising, but was actually a scholar from a poor family.

They say farming and studying are the family tradition, but in fact they haven't even washed the mud off their feet.

Yes, that poor boy was indeed good at studying and even passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.

But so what?

After studying hard for more than ten years and passing numerous examinations with great difficulty, he finally only got a small official position of seventh rank.

As for Han Erlang of the Cheng'en Mansion, he is the crown prince and can inherit the title of the first-rank duke.

And the military power of the Han family army.

"Mother is biased! They are all her daughters, so why do all the good things happen to Zhou Qingcheng?"

Zhou Baozhu was envious, jealous, and hateful!

All kinds of emotions intertwined together, and her facial features were distorted.

"Baozhu, are you okay? Oh, you look so pale, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that Zhou Baozhu was so "weak", Gu Qingcheng felt a little discouraged: Tsk, with this level, how dare she come and cause trouble for others?

Huoshui quickly raised his hand, "I know! It's called 'being both bad and playful'!"

Gu Qingcheng: ...Scare me! Stupid system!

If she hadn't been mentally strong and had good self-control, she would have been frightened and changed her expression when a voice suddenly popped up in her head.

"Don't speak carelessly anymore!"

Gu Qingcheng coldly warned Huoshui with her mind.

The troublemaker shrank his neck and quickly rolled into the corner, not daring to make trouble again.

"Zhou Qingcheng, I, I will fight you!"

Zhou Baozhu was not a good-tempered person.

In addition, she was reborn with hatred in her heart, and she always had a sense of resentment.

I originally thought that I could ridicule and bully Zhou Qingcheng and also have a good time watching her make a fool of herself.

Unexpectedly, I became a joke!

New and old grudges made Zhou Baozhu lose her mind.

"Bitch! You're all bitches! I'm going to scratch your face and see how you can seduce men again!"

She raised her hands, revealing her sharp nails, and grabbed directly at Zhou Qingcheng.

"stop!"

There was a roar at the door, with obvious fear in the voice.

Zhou Baozhu was startled by the sudden shout and paused for a moment.

But soon, she became even angrier.

It’s Li!

She recognized that the almost broken roar came from the always graceful and reserved noblewoman, Mrs. Li.

Look, how worried Li is about Zhou Qingcheng. She is so anxious that she doesn't even care about her dignity as a lady.

A friend in need is a friend indeed; a person's true inner thoughts can only be seen in times of crisis.

Li, it turns out that she favors Zhou Qingcheng!

Zhou Baozhu was already jealous to the point of madness, and now when she saw how much Li cared about Zhou Qingcheng, she exploded.

However, the maidservant beside Li was faster.

He stood directly in front of Zhou Qingcheng.

"Ouch!" With a suppressed cry of pain, the maid rushed directly towards Zhou Qingcheng and acted as her human shield.

So, she had her back to Zhou Baozhu.

Even through her clothes, the maid's back was still severely scratched.

The maids around Li were all treated like deputy young ladies. They were usually taken care of more carefully than the young ladies of ordinary small families. How could they have ever suffered such hardships?

But it's all worth it.

"Good girl, you are still smart!"

Li let out a breath with lingering fear. Her voice was still trembling, but her emotions were calm.

He praised the loyal maid, then looked at Zhou Baozhu with a cold face.

Zhou Baozhu missed her first attack and continued to attack frantically, but was surrounded by several maids and old women.
