Chapter 24: Fake Heiress, Real Yandere (Part 8)
"Child, come here quickly! Let me take a good look!"
Zhou Baozhu came to the Dowager's Cunxin Hall. Before she could greet the Dowager who was sitting in the main hall, a noble lady in her forties waved at her.
Zhou Baozhu's eyes lit up. It was her aunt! In her previous life, she loved her the most.
Zhou Baozhu was happy and it showed on her face.
Zhou Xian, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family, was already happy to see her niece who looked very similar to herself.
Seeing her so close to him again, he felt even happier.
"Oh, mother, look at this child. He really looks like me!"
Zhou Xian shouted exaggeratedly at the lady.
The old lady originally had no feelings towards her newly found granddaughter.
She has no shortage of granddaughters, and the existence of Zhou Baozhu directly calls into question the identity of her beloved grandson. The lady must be unhappy.
It just so happened that this incident was caused by her own daughter. The lady wanted to scold someone, but she couldn't find a suitable target.
In the end, all the anger in his heart was vented on the two girls, Zhou Baozhu and Zhou Qingcheng.
Especially Zhou Baozhu, who is hunchbacked, timid, petty and not presentable.
There is also the kind of inferiority and cowardice that comes from the bones, just like a lowly country person.
Even if she wore gorgeous clothes, she didn't look like the daughter of a marquis.
...It can be said that from the moment Zhou Baozhu entered the door, the lady disliked Zhou Baozhu from head to toe!
She wasn't even interested in looking at Zhou Baozhu's drooping face! However, after hearing what her beloved eldest daughter said, the lady finally became a little interested.
"Oh? Really? Look up and let me see!"
The lady herself did not realize that her tone of voice was condescending.
It was not like a grandmother treating her own granddaughter at all, but more like teasing a little maid, or even a cat or a dog! Zhou Baozhu was reborn, and was extremely sensitive. Naturally, she felt the lady's contempt for her.
It happens again!
This old witch didn't like me in my previous life, and she still looks down on me in this life.
Zhou Baozhu was reborn with hatred in her heart, and inevitably felt resentful.
But she didn't notice it herself.
As for the Madam Dowager and Zhou Xian, they did not know Zhou Baozhu well. Seeing her distant look, they thought that the girl was shy and frightened by the wealth of the Marquis' Mansion.
"How pitiful! She should have been a noble daughter of a marquisate, but ended up living in a poor peasant family!"
Zhou Xian had intended to find fault, and when he saw Zhou Baozhu trembling and timid, he felt that his chance had come and began to provoke her with words.
The lady had always favored her eldest daughter, and Zhou Baozhu looked especially like her eldest daughter, and her experience was indeed pitiful.
Thinking about Zhou Qingcheng, and then thinking about her grandson Zhou Yi, whom she had raised, she instantly made up her mind -
Zhou Qingcheng must have been taken away by mistake! It must be her! "Yes, it's really pitiful!"
The lady had made up her mind, and she softened her attitude towards Zhou Baozhu. "Child, now that you're back, be well!"
"Don't worry, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely compensate you well!"
As for Zhou Qingcheng, her status must be determined as soon as possible.
Only by making Zhou Qingcheng a fake daughter can her eldest grandson continue to be the prince!
Thinking of this, the Madam took the initiative to say without Zhou Xian's instigation, "Go and see if the Marquis has returned."
"If the Marquis comes back, ask him to come over!"
A person who looked like a maid hurriedly bowed and responded, and cleverly sent a little maid to guard the front yard.
As soon as the Marquis comes back, he will invite everyone to Cunxin Hall.
But she was still a step slow.
Jingning Hou Zhou Qi worked in the Ministry of Works, which was not an important official position. He was only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works.
He had a sad face and looked dejected.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he had just entered the second gate when he was stopped by the maid from Xuanrui Hall who had been waiting there.
"The young lady is ill? Then please call the imperial physician! I am not a doctor!"
Zhou Qi said unhappily.
The little maid was not afraid and continued to say respectfully, "Madam has something important to discuss with the Marquis. You will know it if you go to Wei Rui Courtyard!"
Zhou Qi frowned, feeling very unhappy.
However, on second thought, my wife is a very reliable person.
She would not be mysterious.
Is there something important? Oh, it's really annoying.
The government office is a mess, and when I get home, there is also a ridiculous lawsuit about taking the wrong child!
Zhou Qi was full of negative energy, but he still followed the little maid to Weiruiyuan.
"Ma'am, what do you want from me?"
As soon as Zhou Qi stepped into Weirui Courtyard, he shouted at the top of his voice.
Li came out, as if she didn't see the gloom on Zhou Qi's face. She grabbed his arm and whispered, "My Lord, of course it's a happy event!"
"A happy event? Isn't it just bringing that girl back home? Can this be considered a happy event?"
What real or fake daughter, to be honest, they are all girls.
Influenced by the lady-in-waiting, Zhou Qi is very patriarchal in nature.
“…”
Li choked.
She has always been a smart and capable person, but unfortunately she was unlucky and married a foolish man like Zhou Qi.
There is a mean and difficult mother-in-law above, a bad and stupid sister-in-law in the middle, and now there is an even stupider daughter...
In other words, Li was mentally strong enough, so he did not have a mental breakdown caused by a group of extreme people.
She took a deep breath and said, "My Lord, please follow me!"
She simply stopped talking nonsense and spoke directly with facts.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She took Zhou Qi's arm, and the couple entered the east room of Weirui Courtyard, which was Zhou Qingcheng's bedroom.
The imperial physician had already examined his pulse, prescribed medicine, and left.
In the dormitory, there was only the still unconscious "Zhou Qingcheng", Nanny Su and two or three maids.
Li dragged Zhou Qi directly to the bed and let him see Zhou Qingcheng's face clearly.
"hiss!"
Zhou Qi took a breath of cold air.
As a father, he is not very close to his daughter.
But I can always see it every few days.
So he knew what Zhou Qingcheng looked like.
However, after not seeing him for a few days, his daughter, who was suspected to have been taken away by mistake, had grown into a stunningly beautiful girl.
Neither Zhou Qi nor Li suspected that Zhou Qingcheng had become a different person, because her overall appearance had not changed much.
But she just looks more beautiful and delicate, as if she is not a mortal.
Seeing that it worked, Li pulled Zhou Qi's arm and walked out again.
The two of them came to the main hall outside, and Li said meaningfully, "My Lord, is this considered a 'surprise'?"
Zhou Qi's brain was a beat slower, or rather, his train of thought was not in sync with Li's.
He asked stupidly, "What surprise?"
Lee: ...
Forget it, forget it. I already knew he was stupid, so why get angry about it? Actually, there is no harm in having a husband who is a little stupid.
At least for Li, it was precisely because Zhou Qi was not smart enough that she was able to control the entire Marquisate in her hands over the years.
Only then could things be handled so perfectly!
Trying to comfort herself again, Li quickly adjusted her mood. She smiled and reminded: "My Lord, the marriage of Cheng'en Mansion!"
"That was just a joke between my father and the old Duke!" Zhou Qi still didn't understand Li's intention.
Li had no choice but to explain more clearly, "Even if the 'arranged marriage' thing is a joke, a few days ago, the Duke's wife announced that she would marry the second young master a stunning beauty. This is definitely not a joke."
Zhou Qi seemed to understand a little, "Madam, what do you mean?"
Li nodded in the direction of the dormitory and asked, "Is Jiaojiao from our family considered a stunning beauty?"
Jiaojiao is Zhou Qingcheng’s nickname, given by Li.
"Okay!" Zhou Qi nodded firmly.
If Zhou Qingcheng in the past could only be considered a beauty, then Zhou Qingcheng at this moment is absolutely stunning!
It also definitely meets Lady Cheng'en's requirements for her daughter-in-law.
etc!
Daughter-in-law? They could marry Zhou Qingcheng to the Duke's Mansion.
Once they become related by marriage to the Cheng'en Mansion, their Mansion will have a backer.
There is also a way to solve his work troubles! Zhou Qi finally understood what Li meant, and his eyes instantly became bright, "Yes! Happy event! This is really a happy event!"
At this moment, the maid from Cunxin Hall chased to Weirui Courtyard and said, "My Lord, the Madam wants you to come over!"
When Li heard this, her eyes flickered.
Without asking, she could guess the lady's intention.
Unfortunately, dear mother-in-law, you are a step slow.
Or maybe the lady still didn't see through Zhou Qi's true nature: selfish! "What? Change the family tree for Jiaojiao? Register her as an adopted daughter?"
"No! Definitely not! No one can explain what happened back then. Maybe Jiaojiao is my biological daughter!"
"I can't do this! You can add the pearl to the family tree, but you can't change Qingcheng's name!"
After hearing what the lady said, Zhou Qi shook his head like a rattle.
How could he change Zhou Qingcheng's family tree? He also wanted Zhou Qingcheng to get close to the second son of Cheng'en Mansion.
There is a world of difference between the eldest daughter of a marquis's mansion and the adopted daughter of a marquis's mansion!
The lady was so angry that her chest ached. She once again wailed in her heart: How could I, who was so smart, give birth to a stupid son like Zhou Qi? !
