Chapter 29: Fake Daughter, Real Yandere (Thirteen) More chapters, please give me a monthly ticket
Gu Qingcheng listened to Li quietly, she did not interrupt, nor did she show any expression.
In her heart, she had already begun to analyze what Li said -
Well, there are indeed some problems with this marriage arrangement at Duke Cheng’en’s Mansion.
First of all, such a distinguished family of nobles actually had a concubine's eldest son.
From this we can see that the Han family is definitely not a well-behaved family.
Secondly, Han Jilang is not very smart.
Yes, men always think differently from women.
For the wife of Duke Cheng'en, her legitimate son and the illegitimate son born to the little witch are completely two different beings.
The two sides should be competitors, or even enemies.
But in the eyes of Duke Cheng'en or Han Erlang, concubines' sons (and brothers) are their own flesh and blood and are part of their family.
Duke Cheng'en hoped that his sons would be united and friendly.
Han Erlang probably also believed in the saying that when brothers work together, they can break any obstacle.
But the problem is that there is only one title in the Cheng'en Mansion.
According to etiquette, the eldest son will naturally inherit.
But the Han family happened to have a concubine's eldest son and a legitimate second son.
A concubine's son cannot occupy the position of legitimate son, and a legitimate son cannot be the eldest. As for this title, well, it's going to be a long time before it can be obtained.
Furthermore, Han Erlang "naively" regarded his half brother as his real brother, but that half brother might not be willing to acknowledge Han Erlang as a good brother!
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a distant cousin.
This is obviously a beauty trap.
If the situation is not handled properly, Han Erlang will repeat the mistakes of his father - there is no legitimate son yet, but a concubine's son is born first! A concubine's son is definitely the source of chaos in a family.
After knowing Han Erlang's problem, Gu Qingcheng could more or less understand Madam Wei's plan.
She is trying to use the beauty trap to counter the beauty trap.
Gu Qingcheng subconsciously lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the mirror in her hand again.
Seeing the stunning beauty again, Gu Qingcheng did not feel used or humiliated.
Instead, she felt inexplicably excited: I, Gu Qingcheng, could actually make a living by relying on my face one day! "Qingcheng, Madam Wei really likes you very much. She didn't even care about the previous 'rumors'."
When Li saw Gu Qingcheng lowering her eyes and keeping silent, she mistakenly thought that she was unhappy.
To be honest, if it weren't for the title of Duke Cheng'en, the fact that Han Erlang had done such a stupid thing before marriage would be enough to prove that this man was not a good match.
And there was Madam Wei. When her son got into trouble, instead of teaching him a lesson, she was busy trying to find ways to cover it up.
He also tried to hand over the responsibility of raising his son to another innocent woman.
It's ridiculous that the mother has been teaching her son for more than ten years but still hasn't been able to teach him well.
If I suddenly marry him a new wife, will the new wife make my son sensible?
A person like Madam Wei is definitely a loving mother to her son.
But she is not a good mother-in-law to the bride.
The husband is absurd and stupid, the mother-in-law is protective and confused, there is also a father-in-law who is partial to the illegitimate son, and the eldest brother who is eyeing him covetously...
Tsk, this is not a wealthy and good family at all, it is clearly a quagmire and a den of tigers and wolves.
If a good daughter were to marry into the family, she would probably be turned into a grudge or a shrew! If the Marquis's Mansion had not reached the end of its rope, and if it was her own daughter, Li would definitely not do this.
But there aren't so many "ifs"! Li clenched the handkerchief in her hand and began to say meaningfully: "In fact, the lady has always wanted the marquis to change the family tree."
"Even I can't explain what happened back then."
"The Madam Dowager favors Zhou Yi, and the Marquis is a filial son. Fortunately, Madam Wei sent someone to ask for marriage at this time—"
Li didn't say the rest.
However, she believed that the smart Gu Qingcheng would definitely understand - if she wanted to continue to be the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, she had to marry into the Han family.
If she did not agree to the Han family's marriage proposal, not only would she not be able to become the daughter of a marquis, she might also end up in a very miserable situation.
Beauty, when combined with enough power, is naturally the icing on the cake.
But if you have no power, it will be a deadly poison.
With such a beauty as Gu Qingcheng, if she hadn't been protected by the Marquis' Mansion and the Cheng'en Mansion, one can imagine what would have happened to her.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Actually, I’m not that smart.
But she had a hunch.
Her intuition once again told her, "Mom, your daughter understands everything you said!"
"I know you are doing this for my own good, and I will never let you down."
Gu Qingcheng spoke sincerely.
Li was very satisfied and her smile became brighter. "Great! I knew my Jiaojiao was the most sensible and smart enough."
Li still emphasized the pronunciation of a certain word and reminded Gu Qingcheng again not to do anything stupid.
"Well, my daughter doesn't need to worry about that."
Gu Qingcheng certainly wouldn't do anything stupid.
Since she had to get married anyway, she might as well marry into a family more noble than the Marquis's.
While she was pursuing beauty, she did not forget her mission: to live better than Zhou Baozhu!
In ancient times, for women, marrying well was really good.
A wife's status depends on her husband. Even Gu Qingcheng, who was at the peak of her intelligence, could not escape this iron rule.
Now that Gu Qingcheng's IQ is not top-notch and her body still needs a lot of money and power to recuperate, she has no reason to give up the marriage with the Duke's Mansion.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As for Han Erlang, who is greedy for beauty and has a brain full of nonsense, Gu Qingcheng doesn't care whether he favors his concubine over his wife.
She is so beautiful, has the status of a legal wife, and has a generous dowry...
Tsk, as long as a woman can think positively, life will be so comfortable.
dowry?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng glanced at Li.
However, her intuition told her not to ask for it.
Li is a smart person, she knows what is the best way to do it.
Gu Qingcheng’s intuition was not wrong.
After the marriage was finalized, the Han family quickly sent someone to deliver the betrothal gifts.
And Li also drew up a dowry list -
All the betrothal gifts from the Duke's Mansion were put in, the Duke of the Marquis' Mansion contributed a portion, and Li, as the "biological mother", also took a portion from her own dowry.
There is also Zhou Qi, Marquis of Jingning.
The news of his family's marriage with the Cheng'en Mansion had just spread, and his superiors and colleagues, who had originally treated him in a "business-like" manner, now became polite to him.
He also heard rumors that the problem of water seepage in the imperial mausoleum was "responsible" for by a deputy minister of the Ministry of Works.
The situation of the Deputy Minister of Works was similar to Zhou Qi's. He was the eldest son of the Earl's family, mediocre and ignorant of the ways of the world.
He worked as the Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Works for more than ten years.
He has never been credited for any good thing, but now that something bad has happened, he is being pushed out to take the blame!
"What a close call! If I hadn't had the good in-laws like Duke Cheng'en, I would have been the one to take the blame this time!"
Zhou Qi was so grateful that he was so excited that he took out a lot of good things from his private storehouse to decorate Zhou Qingcheng.
Li: ...It's better to go and subsidize those illegitimate children!
Madam Dowager: ...At least leave some for Yier.
Eldest Aunt Zhou Xian: ...So stupid, it is Baozhu who should be compensated the most, but he is so nice to Zhou Qingcheng.
Zhou Baozhu was about to go crazy——
It happens again!
It happens again!
It would have been fine if he had arranged an excellent marriage for Zhou Qingcheng, but he actually prepared such a huge dowry for her.
eccentric!
The mother is partial, and the father is partial too!
There is really no place for me in this Zhou family.
In fact, the person who was really embarrassed was Zhou Yi.
The Zhou family prepared a dowry for Zhou Qingcheng with such great fanfare, which clearly showed that they valued this "daughter" very much.
Zhou Baozhu has the evidence of her resemblance to her aunt, while Zhou Qingcheng has the attitude of the Marquis and his wife as evidence.
So, among the three children, Zhou Yi is the most handsome one.
Zhou Yi's identity in the Zhou family suddenly became subtle.
Servants are the most opportunistic, and Zhou Yi has also experienced the fickleness of human nature.
He was so angry that he ran to the waterside pavilion to drink late at night. As a result, he missed a step and fell into the water.
He struggled in the pool for a long time before being discovered by a passing servant.
But when they rescued him, Zhou Yi had already fallen into a coma...
