Chapter 21: Fake Heiress, Real Yandere (V)
"Sister Liuli, please help pass the message on. Our eldest daughter has fainted again!"
Peilan stood outside Xuanrui Hall, begging desperately to a person who looked like a maid.
"Perrin, it's not that I won't help you pass the message, but the Madam is having a heart-to-heart talk with the 'new' Miss."
The maid named Liuli was the top maidservant serving Madam Li.
She is about the same age as Peilan, and both are born in the Marquis' Mansion. They have been working in the mansion for about the same time.
However, Liuli was someone close to Madam Li, and was naturally superior to Peilan and other servants who worked in the young ladies' and masters' courtyards.
Not to mention, Zhou Qingcheng now... Tsk tsk! Liuli didn't show it on her face, but she was shaking her head in her heart.
And when she spoke, she couldn't help but emphasize the pronunciation of a few words.
Her implication was clear: the real eldest lady was back, and that idiot from Weirui Courtyard was about to fall out of favor.
Even though their wives were kindhearted and reluctant to part with the child they had raised for more than ten years, and insisted on keeping Zhou Qingcheng in the Marquis' Mansion, she could only be an adopted daughter.
It is no longer possible to be the eldest daughter of a marquisate with dignity and respect as in the past.
Therefore, after the news about the real and fake daughter spread, the maids and old women in Zhou Qingcheng's yard ran away or became sick.
There were four first-class maids, four second-class maids, eight third-class maids and four servants, a total of twenty servants in Weirui Courtyard, but only Peilan and a third-class maid were left.
You can't blame those people for changing with the wind, that's just the reality.
Liuli felt that if Peilan's mother had not died and her stepmother had not been the head of the family, with no one to help her take care of things, she would have probably been transferred to another courtyard by her family to work.
There was probably no other way for Peilan to stay in Weirui Courtyard.
In this case, why should I try so hard to help Zhou Qingcheng plan - hehe, in order to see the lady, in order to make the lady feel distressed, I even started to pretend to be sick! Yes, Liuli didn't believe that Gu Qingcheng was sick again.
Although this young lady has been weak since childhood, the Marquis's Mansion has taken good care of her for more than ten years.
Whether it's ginseng or bird's nest, or snow lotus or white fungus, no matter how much it's worth, as long as it's good for the young lady's health, the Madam and the Marquis will get it back without any regrets!
The Marquis even sacrificed his reputation and asked the Imperial Physician Qin from the Imperial Hospital to personally examine the eldest daughter and prescribe some medicine to nourish her body.
After these years of careful care, the eldest lady no longer has any major health problems.
At most, I would catch a cold or cough a few times every time the seasons changed.
She is just a little bit weaker than other rich girls, but is far from being bedridden.
A few days ago, when the Marquis’ Mansion discovered that the child might have been taken away by mistake, Zhou Qingcheng fell “sick”.
The Madam, the Marquis and the Crown Prince were all in a state of distress. Finally, the imperial physician came, took their pulses, and found that there was nothing serious.
The imperial physician gently reminded Zhou Qingcheng to relax and rest well.
What this meant was that Zhou Qingcheng was worried that she was the wrong child and would be kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion, so she pretended to be sick.
[Humph, it’s only been a few days and the young lady is sick again! ]
Liuli secretly complained to herself that she already had a criminal record, and now talking about "being sick" sounded fake.
Liuli doesn’t believe it anyway!
Perrin became more anxious, "I know Madam is busy, but our young lady is really sick."
She has served the eldest lady for several years and is very familiar with her physical condition.
Maybe the eldest lady had pretended to be sick before, but this time, she was really sick.
Perrin could see clearly that the eldest lady looked very bad and her breathing was rapid.
Perrin had a bad feeling, and always felt that the eldest lady seemed to be really becoming sickly and weak.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the incident of the real and fake daughter was so irritating to her young lady that she got some strange disease? ! "Sister Liuli, please help me."
Perrin was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
Her family refused to help her, and she was grateful for the eldest daughter's kindness in her early years.
Furthermore, Perrin had an inexplicable feeling that her eldest daughter would not remain silent.
Even if she really can't stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore, the eldest lady still has a fiancé.
The eldest lady’s fiancé is the legitimate son of a duke’s mansion and the future crown prince.
After careful consideration, Perrin felt that staying with the eldest lady might not necessarily be a dead end.
Even if there is no future in following the eldest lady and no one helps her to make connections, she will not be able to go to other courtyards.
As the only maidservant beside the eldest lady, if anything happened to the eldest lady and the lady held her accountable, she would be the first to be punished.
Now she and the eldest lady are tied together, and she can only be well if the eldest lady is well.
Thinking of this, Peilan made up her mind and simply stopped entangled with Liuli. She shouted towards the courtyard at the top of her voice: "Madam! Madam! Something bad has happened! Miss is in trouble!"
"Please save the young lady! Madam! Madam!!"
In an emergency, people can always stimulate the potential of their body.
Perrin didn't even know that he could have such a loud voice.
Screams came through the gate and into the yard.
Li, who was sitting in the main room, could hear it clearly across the huge courtyard.
She frowned and turned to look at Nanny Su.
Madam Su hurriedly said, "I'll go out and take a look!"
Li nodded slightly.
Nanny Su hurried out.
Li still maintained a sitting posture. She glanced at Gu Erya, who seemed to have suffered a major blow.
Alas! She is a little bit stupid, but she is my own daughter after all.
She had indeed owed her a lot over the past decade.
"Baozhu! I will name you Baozhu, and from now on you will be Zhou Baozhu!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Li suddenly spoke, waking up Gu Erya.
Gu Erya, oh no, it should be Zhou Baozhu, she stared blankly at Li -
Baozhu is the name my mother gave me? Why do I remember that in my previous life, it seemed that I was angry with Zhou Qingcheng, so I deliberately gave myself the name "Baozhu".
She just wanted to tell Zhou Qingcheng: I am the real jewel in the Zhou family's crown, the most dazzling gem!
Unlike her, Zhou Qingcheng, even though she is beautiful, she is just a fake daughter.
After being reborn, he was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion and met his biological mother, but this was the situation -
Zhou Qingcheng is not a fake daughter, she is most likely her biological sister.
Although her mother disliked her, she was not completely indifferent to her.
She named herself "Baozhu".
Does this mean that in her mother's heart, she is the most precious pearl of the Zhou family? Zhou Baozhu's heart was in turmoil again.
She felt like there seemed to be something wrong with her memory of her previous life.
[Zhou Baozhu, what are you thinking? Can you be bought off by just a name?]
[Even if there is something wrong with your memory in your previous life, you cannot guarantee that you are the daughter your parents love the most! ]
[It is true that they prefer Zhou Qingcheng, and they will be more interested in her in the future. ]
[And you will still repeat the tragedy of your previous life, being despised, exiled, and completely annihilated in a remote nunnery! ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Baozhu, who had just been soft-hearted, became resolute.
She raised her head, her eyes burning, "Even though she is my sister, mother seems to like her more!"
"If you don't love me, why do you want to bring me back?"
"Mrs. Li, I feel that we mother and daughter really don't seem to be destined to be together."
"In this case, there is no need to force it between you and me—"
In her previous life, she humbly prayed for the motherly love that was destined not to belong to her, and she could not get the warmth and happiness of a family.
She doesn't care about it in this life!
If she can't get the real and only love, she would rather not have it! Li: ...This child, not only looks, but also has the same character as her elder sister-in-law whom she hates! But, such a stupid and willful child is her own flesh and blood.
She really doesn't like it, but she won't really give it up.
Li had been dealing with her elder sister-in-law for several years and was naturally familiar with the temperament of this kind of person.
She secretly suppressed her displeasure and pretended to be indifferent, "Okay! This is what you said, don't regret it later!"
“I don’t regret it!”
Zhou Baozhu raised her head and said stubbornly.
She secretly swore in her heart: I will not regret it, on the contrary, I will make you regret it! Li: ...
Just then, Nanny Su ran in hurriedly.
She leaned close to Li's ear and whispered softly, "Madam, the eldest lady is ill, and it seems to be true this time."
Hearing this, a sinister gleam flashed across Li's eyes.
But soon, she showed an anxious look, "Why did you get sick? Have you called the imperial physician? Oh, I'd better go and take a look myself!"
Having said that, Li stood up and walked quickly towards Weirui Courtyard.
Zhou Baozhu did not notice the change in Li's eyes. She only saw Li running to visit Zhou Qingcheng "anxiously".
"It's like this again! My mother is as partial as ever!"
Zhou Baozhu closed her eyes tightly, cutting off the last bit of fantasy in her heart.
