As her elder sister, Gu Qingcheng had to go back to attend the wedding ceremony as her "sister" was getting married.
You also have to participate in the makeup ceremony before the wedding ceremony.
Gu Qingcheng didn't really want to go.
Without having to think about it, Gu Qingcheng knew what kind of Zhou Baozhu she would face when she returned to the Zhou family.
Sure enough, on the day of adding makeup, Gu Qingcheng had to go to Zhou's house due to the rules, and happened to see Zhou Baozhu looking smug and arrogant.
"Oh, my sister is here too? Don't you need to stay home and serve the Duke?"
"Don't blame me, sister. I care about you too..."
Yeah, Gu Qingcheng was right.
The Han family encountered troubles one after another and seemed to be on the verge of defeat.
As for Zhou Baozhu, she really took the opportunity to bully her daughter-in-law "Zhou Qingcheng" in public!
Gu Qingcheng lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was really hit by Zhou Baozhu.
When Zhou Baozhu saw that "Zhou Qingcheng" had become timid and no longer complacent as before, she suddenly felt extremely happy.
She continued to say what Gu Qingcheng had guessed long ago: "My son Chen is the most ambitious. He knows that he is a bastard and has no other help, so he has been studying hard since he was young."
"Sister, you may not know this yet, but my Chen Lang is a student at Qingyun Academy, and his teacher is Mr. Meng Changmeng."
Unlike Han Ding, whom Zhou Qingcheng married, he was not good at studying. He couldn't even stay in Qingyun Academy, let alone the Imperial College.
Humph, what a waste.
Gu Qingcheng continued to remain silent.
"Also, my son Chen has passed the imperial examination. He will definitely be admitted to the imperial examination next spring."
"Chen Lang is so handsome, he must be the third place winner!"
When Zhou Baozhu said this, she raised her chin proudly.
She is not bragging. In her previous life, Chen Chen was the third place in the imperial examination.
Unfortunately, when he was paraded through the streets on horseback, Zhou Baozhu was forcibly sent to a nunnery.
She didn't get to see the grand spectacle at all.
However, she will not miss it in this life.
She could still stand proudly on the high ground while the noble ladies in the capital threw purses and bouquets at the winner of the imperial examination.
That man is my husband, Zhou Baozhu!
He is deeply in love with me and obeys me in everything.
My family is partial to me. So what if I don’t have any parental kinship? I still have my aunt and Chen Lang!
Gu Qingcheng: ...
After hearing so much bragging, she felt nothing inside and even wanted to laugh.
Tsk, she really guessed everything, nothing new at all.
Leaving behind a set of head ornaments that she had randomly chosen from her dowry, Gu Qingcheng stood up and said, "I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first!"
Zhou Baozhu was feeling most proud, but she didn't expect "Zhou Qingcheng" to refuse to cooperate.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Gu Qingcheng brought up Zhou Baozhu's words that had just been used against her and retorted, "Sister cares about me the most, so I don't think she would embarrass me, right?"
Zhou Baozhu: ...
Humph, what are you so proud of?
Do you really think the Han family is the same Han family as before?
In fact, what Zhou Baozhu wanted to brag about most was something she couldn't say: My husband will soon become the new emperor's most loyal minister.
He held a high position at a young age, became a cabinet minister, and enjoyed glory for decades.
What a pity, she can't say it!
She was really suffocating.
Zhou Baozhu tried her best to suppress the urge to show off and watched Gu Qingcheng leave.
Han Ding waited outside the Jingning Marquis Mansion on purpose.
He guessed that his wife would not stay in the Zhou family for long.
However, when he really saw his wife coming out of Zhou's house soon, a chill appeared in his gloomy eyes.
"What? Did they treat you poorly? Or did Zhou Baozhu take advantage of the situation to bully you?"
Han Ding knew all too well those opportunistic villains.
The Zhou family, from the very beginning, married into the Han family with the intention of climbing up the social ladder.
The Han family showed signs of decline, so naturally the Zhou family would...
"No! I just don't feel like I can get close to Zhou Baozhu."
Gu Qingcheng smiled softly and timidly, she had no intention of gossiping at all.
Han Ding pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn't believe what Gu Qingcheng said at all.
He knew that his wife had always been well-behaved and revered him as a god.
She will not tolerate others' blasphemy, and will not take the rumors spread by outsiders seriously!
The less Gu Qingcheng took the initiative to express her grievances, the more distressed Han Ding felt.
He secretly made a note of the Zhou family in his little notebook.
And Chen Chen, Zhou Baozhu's husband, was also the one Han Ding justifiedly angered at.
After sending Gu Qingcheng home, Han Ding left the house.
He first ordered the servant, "Quickly close the net! Within three days, I will hear that someone has gone to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue the Jingning Marquis' Mansion!"
The servant quickly responded, "Yes! As you command!"
After giving the order, Han Ding went straight to Yang's Restaurant.
He is different from Chen Chen.
Chen Chen was only the seventh prince's disciple, and was considered half a slave.
And Han Ding is the partner of the seventh prince.
His Han family army and Queen Han in the palace play a crucial role in whether the seventh prince can surpass the previous princes and ascend to the throne!
The Seventh Prince: ...It’s a headache. The crazy Han Ding is the most troublesome thing.
However, Chen Chen, oh no, Zhou Baozhu is still useful and cannot be punished for the time being.
Han Ding was his partner, so the Seventh Prince did not hide anything and simply mentioned Zhou Baozhu's usefulness.
"To predict the future?"
A strange light flashed in Han Ding's eyes, "That's quite interesting!"
What he said was interesting. He not only thought Zhou Baozhu was interesting, but also Chen Chen's ruthlessness of marrying someone home to keep a secret was very interesting!
