Chapter 26: Fake Heiress, Really Yandere (Ten)
"Jiaojiao, the people in your yard before were not good, I replaced them for you."
"Although it is the servants who are unruly, I still want to say a few words to you."
"You are the eldest daughter of our mansion, a real noble lady. How come you are controlled by a few slaves?"
"From now on, you must remember your status and behave like your master. Then the servants won't dare to act too presumptuous."
Li sat by the bed, comforting and tapping, but most importantly, she repeatedly conveyed a message to Gu Qingcheng -
You don't have to worry anymore. You will still be the daughter of the Zhou family and the noble daughter of the Marquis's mansion.
Gu Qingcheng is not stupid, of course she can understand such an obvious hint.
Li played the role of a strict and kind mother in front of her, and she had to respond in kind.
Her eyes were filled with excitement and gratitude, and her voice trembled slightly, "Mom, it's all my fault. I made you worry!"
"Don't worry, I will never do this again!"
Seeing Gu Qingcheng so full of emotions, Li felt very comfortable.
That's right.
She is not afraid of bad people, but she is afraid of stupid people.
Unfortunately, she was unlucky and always met bad and stupid people.
Fortunately, the "Zhou Qingcheng" in front of me is not that.
"It's good that you know you're wrong! Well, you're weak, you need to take good care of yourself, and don't let your imagination run wild anymore."
"Also, Baozhu, oh, that child who was mistakenly taken away by the Gu family, is your sister. Your father has already registered her in the family tree."
"In the past ten years or so, she has suffered a lot in the Gu family. Your father and I both feel that we owe her a lot. As for you, you are the elder sister, so you should give in to your younger sister."
"If she is disrespectful to you or does something inappropriate, you should be more tolerant of her!"
Although the silly girl Zhou Baozhu went to live with Zhou Xian, she would return to the Marquis' Mansion sooner or later.
Given Zhou Baozhu's stupidity and willfulness, she would definitely cause trouble for Zhou Qingcheng.
Li had laid the groundwork in advance, and when the time came, he would be able to help Zhou Baozhu turn the situation around.
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows. Even though her IQ was far lower than before, she could still feel the closeness and distance in Li's words.
Li, more inclined to Zhou Baozhu! This is interesting.
According to Li, Zhou Qingcheng and Zhou Baozhu are twin sisters.
They are all Li’s biological daughters.
Zhou Qingcheng has been raised by Li for more than ten years, so Li should be closer to this daughter.
Although according to reason, Li should indeed compensate Zhou Baozhu and love her more.
But the relationship between people is never about reason, but about feelings and fate.
Based on what Gu Qingcheng knew about human nature, Li's behavior was very abnormal! However, Gu Qingcheng's IQ was suppressed, and she could only realize that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out the reason.
She silently hid this doubt deep in her heart.
On the surface, she is still the eldest daughter of the marquisate who is well-educated, kind and beautiful.
"Yes, mother, your daughter can save it."
…
In the afternoon, Li, who had just left, came back with a smile on her face.
However, her attitude this time was no longer as reserved and arrogant as it was in the morning, but rather a bit cautious.
"Madame Liang, please come in!"
She was so enthusiastic that it was almost flattering as she greeted an old woman in her forties.
The woman was well-dressed, had a serious expression, and her every word and action was proper.
Gu Qingcheng knew at a glance that this person was a first-class servant in a powerful family and was quite respectable in front of her master.
But, no matter how respectable she is, she is just a maid.
Li is the wife of a marquis, how can she be right——
Gu Qingcheng quickly thought of the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.
The nanny's master was either of noble status or Li had something to ask of him.
"Jiaojiao, this is Nanny Liang who works beside Madam Wei in Duke Cheng'en's mansion. She is the wet nurse of the Empress, and the Empress respects her very much."
While Li was greeting Nanny Liang, she did not forget to introduce her to Gu Qingcheng with a smile.
She deliberately mentioned words like Lord Cheng'en and Her Majesty the Queen, just to remind Gu Qingcheng: Be well behaved and don't offend the distinguished guest.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Inexplicably, she felt sad for the Jingning Marquisate.
Such a dignified marquisate doesn't even have a man to support the family, and the women and children can only bow down and scrape before the servants of the powerful.
Of course, Gu Qingcheng's sigh only lasted for a moment.
She is not Zhou Qingcheng herself, and she doesn't have much feelings for the Zhou family.
I guess it was the sadness just now, and the remaining consciousness of the original owner at work.
Gu Qingcheng calmed her mind and began to search for memories related to Lord Cheng'en and the Queen.
Soon, Gu Qingcheng thought of——
Hey, isn’t this the original owner’s verbal engagement?
More than ten years ago, the Jingning Marquis Mansion had not yet been downgraded, and the head of the family was Zhou Qi's father, the Jingguo Duke.
As for Duke Cheng'en, he had not yet sent his daughter to the palace to be a queen, and his family's title was only Marquis Zhenbei.
Duke Jingguo and Marquis Zhenbei were colleagues in the army and they had fought in the same war that year.
Coincidentally, good news came from both families: the daughter-in-law was pregnant!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Duke of Jingguo and the Marquis of Zhenbei drank a few more jars of wine and talked nonsense while drunk, even talking about their unborn grandchildren.
The two old veterans and drunkards were drunk, pulling each other's arms and clamoring to marry their children into in-laws.
The atmosphere was perfectly created, and the two even took off the jade pendants from their waists and gave them to each other as tokens of engagement.
The next day, the two woke up with a hangover and thought back to the ridiculous things that happened last night. They did not regret it but found it funny instead.
Duke Jingguo and Marquis Zhenbei also wrote letters to their families to tell them about this "interesting thing".
Later, Jingguo Duke's daughter-in-law, Li, gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
The daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Wei, gave birth to the first legitimate grandson of the Han family.
But, at this moment, Marquis Zhenbei died in battle.
Although his son, the Prince of Zhenbei Marquis, inherited the title and military power, he was still young and could not control himself for a while, so the Zhenbei Marquisate fell into decline.
The Jingguo Mansion was still a distinguished Duke's Mansion, and there began to be some gap in the strength between the two families.
The arranged marriage was "forgotten".
Later, the new Marquis of Zhenbei finally gained a foothold in the army after a bloody battle.
However, Duke Jingguo died of illness, and the Duke Jingguo's Mansion was downgraded to the Marquis Jingning's Mansion.
The new Marquis of Jingning, Zhou Qi, was of mediocre talent and was arrogant. He had finally managed to get an idle job as a doctor in the Ministry of Works, but he had no political achievements.
Although he had not been promoted for more than ten years, he was still considered a top figure in Beijing.
In contrast, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is much more powerful.
His military exploits continued and his reputation remained undiminished.
Five years ago, the eldest daughter of Marquis Zhenbei entered the palace and was canonized as queen. Marquis Zhenbei was directly conferred the title of Duke Cheng'en, becoming a duke of the highest rank.
The gap between Duke Cheng'en's Mansion and Marquis Jingning's Mansion had completely widened.
The lady-in-waiting began to talk about the marriage of the past, and Li also tried every means to get close to Madam Wei.
Madam Wei naturally looked down on the cowardly family of Marquis Jingning.
But my own son also has his shortcomings.
After careful selection, the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion was not so bad after all.
Especially yesterday, when Madam Wei heard Nanny Liang retell what Li said, she couldn't help but become interested.
This led to Nanny Liang’s visit to “visit the sick”.
"Thank you, Madam!"
No matter how arrogant they were, nominally they came to visit her, Gu Qingcheng, a patient.
Gu Qingcheng sat up and thanked Nanny Liang with a faint smile.
Nanny Liang looked Gu Qingcheng up and down with her sharp eyes.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This look, as if you are looking at cattle or horses, or sizing up goods, is really rude.
It is also a humiliation to be the person being paid attention to.
However, Gu Qingcheng did not show any sign of embarrassment or anger.
She remained calm, which made Nanny Liang look particularly unruly.
Madam Liang's eyes lit up -
The daughter of the Zhou family is not only beautiful, but also has a good character and temperament.
Although she is obviously a stunning beauty, it is easy for people to call her a vixen.
But there was not a trace of coquettishness or vulgarity in Zhou Qingcheng's body. Instead, she looked like a real noble lady from a wealthy family.
The system couldn't help but complain: "... just kidding! Gu Qingcheng is the daughter of the Wujun Gu family."
Six hundred years of heritage, the pride and dignity of the clan have long been engraved deep into her soul!
