Chapter 23: Fake Heiress, Real Yandere (Part 7)
Li's gaze fell on Gu Qingcheng's beautiful face for a long time. She took a handkerchief, wiped the tip of her nose, and covered the corners of her mouth that could not help but rise.
When he raised his head again, Li's expression had smoothly switched to anxious mode.
"Imperial Physician! Someone, go get the Imperial Physician!"
Li's series of voices were like pressing the "start" button, and the entire Weirui Courtyard was set in motion.
Nanny Su knew her master best. When she saw Li's look, she knew what to do.
She was old and experienced, and when she found out that there were only two people left in Weirui Courtyard, she didn't say much, but quietly found someone to arrange a safe maid.
Those who clean do so, those who boil water do so, and those who prepare food do so.
The Wei Rui Courtyard, which was quiet a moment ago, suddenly became bustling with people.
Zhou Baozhu, who couldn't help but follow Li to Weirui Courtyard, happened to see this "lively" scene.
Li was in charge, and Nanny Su took the lead in the work.
More than a dozen maids and old women were just surrounding Gu Qingcheng.
Afterwards, an imperial physician came hurriedly, and seeing his anxious look, it was obvious that he also took Miss Zhou Qingcheng very seriously.
On the other hand, I am also a lady of the Zhou family, but I only have two maids given by Li.
There is no courtyard of my own.
Li did say that she wanted Zhou Baozhu to stay in her yard.
Zhou Baozhu felt very unbalanced——
Why? Even though Zhou Qingcheng is also the daughter of the Zhou family, she can own the best courtyard in the Zhou family, Weirui Courtyard. Why does Zhou Baozhu have to live in the same courtyard with her mother?
It's obvious that her mother doesn't value her, which is why she is treated unfairly everywhere!
In her previous life, she was disliked by her mother.
After being reborn, the mother still prefers Zhou Qingcheng.
Zhou Baozhu's memory has actually been affected by her current life.
If she really remembered it clearly, she would find out: In her previous life, Li did not think much of Zhou Qingcheng, and at most she treated her well for the sake of face.
This time, with the change of Gu Qingcheng, Li began to "pay attention" to this adopted daughter again.
Human memory has the function of self-correction and self-beautification. Zhou Baozhu was reborn with hatred, and her hatred and unwillingness have more or less affected her memory.
"Since you don't love me, I won't covet that pitiful motherly love anymore."
Zhou Baozhu clenched his fists and swore hatefully in his heart.
"Miss, the eldest aunt is back, please come over!"
A little maidservant came running over.
Zhou Baozhu pointed a finger at herself, "Me?"
You can't blame her for being uncertain, because she is not the only "young lady" in the Zhou family.
If the little maid hadn't mentioned the eldest aunt, Zhou Baozhu wouldn't even dare to guess.
In my previous life, my aunt loved me very much.
If I get into trouble, my aunt will help me clean up the mess.
Unfortunately, she was so useless that not only did she end up in a miserable situation, but she also implicated her aunt.
After being reborn, she no longer longed for motherly or fatherly love. The only thing she missed was the love her aunt had for her!
"Yes, Miss, my aunt heard that Madam had brought you back, so she went back to the Marquis' Mansion just to see you!"
When the little maid saw Zhou Baozhu's appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
They all said that the young lady who had just been found looked like her aunt, but she never expected that she would be so similar.
If someone who doesn't know the inside story sees this, they will definitely think that this young lady is the eldest aunt's biological daughter.
As if they were carved from the same mold.
Alas, I wonder how the Marquis’s wife feels when facing such a daughter.
The little maid was a servant girl from the Marquis's mansion, and her elder sister worked in the Madam's courtyard.
Therefore, her sister witnessed the various conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Lady Hou, and the sister-in-law, Lady Dowager, in the early years.
I heard that when the relationship between these three women was at its most tense, they were almost on the verge of a falling out.
Otherwise, the Marquis's wife would not have run to the nunnery outside the city when she was about to give birth.
They say they are going to pray for blessings, but in fact they are just avoiding trouble.
At that time, the wife of the Marquis had been in the Marquis's mansion for three years, but she had not given birth yet.
The mother and daughter, the Lady Dowager and the Eldest Aunt, tried every means to force women into the hands of the Marquis.
It is said that Aunt Shen, the most favored concubine by the Marquis, was found by the eldest aunt specifically for the Marquis. She is good-looking, blessed, and has a good fertility "inherited from her ancestors."
Sure enough, Aunt Shen became pregnant in the second month after she entered the mansion.
It just so happened that the Marquis's wife was also pregnant, half a month earlier than Aunt Shen.
Aunt Shen's mother gave birth to four sons in one go. When Aunt Shen became pregnant, experienced women said it was a boy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The eldest aunt and the lady-in-waiting were so happy that they gave countless supplements to Aunt Shen.
The eldest aunt, in particular, regarded herself as a hero of the Zhou family and often bullied the Marquis' wife.
Fortunately, the Marquis' wife was more fortunate. After three months of pregnancy, she asked the imperial physician to check her pulse, and it turned out that she was pregnant with twins, a rare phenomenon. This overshadowed Aunt Shen.
Even so, the relationship between the Marquis's wife and the eldest aunt and the dowager lady did not ease.
As the delivery date was approaching, the eldest aunt ran back to her parents' home to make trouble again.
They sent a midwife to Aunt Shen and also prepared a wet nurse for her.
The Marquis's wife knew her situation and did not dare to get angry with her aunt. She simply decided to "avoid the provoke" and ran to Baiyun Temple on the outskirts of the city.
As it turned out, just three days after arriving at the nunnery, the Marquis's wife went into labor.
After a flurry of activity, the Marquis's wife safely gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and instantly became the most blessed lady in the entire capital.
The east wind prevailed over the west wind, and my aunt remained silent for more than ten years.
Until a while ago, the woman who kept my great aunt’s company returned to her hometown to visit relatives and saw a girl who looked very much like my great aunt in a small mountain village outside Beijing.
After asking about her age carefully, she found out that she was born on the same day, month and year as the twin boys and girls born to the Marquis' wife.
After further investigation, it was even more amazing that the daughter-in-law of the Gu family had also been in Baiyun Temple more than ten years ago.
The old woman immediately felt that something was fishy and hurried back to report to the eldest aunt.
The eldest aunt had long wanted to find something to hold against the marquis's wife, and after hearing what the old woman said, she immediately felt that the opportunity had come.
She ran straight back to her parents' home and had a tantrum against the Marquis's wife in front of the lady-in-waiting.
The eldest aunt believed that the marquis' wife had given birth to twins, but she was worried that Aunt Shen would snatch her eldest son away from her husband, so she switched the son for a new one.
The eldest aunt wanted so badly to overthrow the marquis's wife that she forgot one thing: the boy of the twins had been raised by the dowager since he was one month old.
For the Taifu, Zhou Yi, the eldest grandson, was her life! Therefore, as soon as the eldest aunt finished her "speculation", the Taifu scolded the eldest aunt without the Hou Furen saying anything.
Finally, the lady said directly: "You are already married daughters, and now you are going to be grandmothers, so stay out of your natal family's affairs!"
The eldest aunt felt that she was exposing the Marquis's conspiracy to "confuse the bloodline of the Marquis's family" and that she meant well, but her mother and brother did not appreciate it.
Mrs. Hou was the one who cooperated with the eldest aunt the most. "What my sister said is not completely unreasonable."
"When I gave birth, the situation was critical and everyone around me was in chaos."
"I gave birth to two children in a row, and my body was very weak. I felt dizzy all over, so I'm not sure if the children were switched."
"The daughter of the Gu family actually looks like my elder sister. My niece, Aunt Xiao, maybe Jiaojiao and that child were taken away by mistake!"
Mrs. Hou did not say that she had secretly replaced her son, but rather that the two girls were taken away by mistake.
In this way, the eldest aunt was satisfied and the lady-in-waiting was not angry.
"Yes! That must be it!"
Although we didn't achieve our goal, we were able to confirm that we had taken the wrong child, so that was still a gain.
The eldest aunt was more anxious than anyone else. "Hurry up and send someone to pick up the Gu family's child. Then, we should thoroughly investigate what happened back then. We will eventually find out the truth!"
When the time comes, she will tear off Li's painted skin! It's the last day, thank you for your support. Next month, this book should be on the new book list.
