"Jiaojiao, the people in your yard were not good before, I replaced them for you."
"Even though it's the servants who are being unruly, I still want to say a few words to you."
"You are the eldest daughter of our Marquis's family, a true noble lady. How come you are controlled by a few slaves?"
"From now on, you must remember your status and behave like a master. Then the servants won't dare to act too presumptuously."
Mrs. Li sat by the bed, comforting and patting, 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.
Excitement and gratitude welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly, "Mother, 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, so you need to take good care of yourself. Don't let your imagination run wild anymore."
"Also, Baozhu, oh, the child that was mistakenly taken away by the Gu family, is your sister. Your father has already registered her in the family tree."
"Over the past decade or so, she's suffered a lot in the Gu family. Your father and I both feel we owe her a lot. As the elder sister, you should give in to your younger sister."
"If she's disrespectful to you or does something inappropriate, you should be more tolerant!"
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 will 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 even more.
But the relationship between people is never about reason, but about feelings and fate.
Based on Gu Qingcheng's understanding of 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 in her heart.
On the surface, she is still the well-educated, kind and beautiful eldest daughter of the marquis's family.
"Yes, mother, your daughter can save herself from 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 in the morning, but rather a bit cautious.
"Madam 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 words and actions were very proper.
Gu Qingcheng knew at a glance that this person was a first-class servant in a powerful family, and she 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 treat—
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 serves Madam Wei in Duke Cheng'en's mansion. She is the Empress's wet nurse, and the Empress respects her very much."
While greeting Nanny Liang, Li 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: behave well and don't offend the distinguished guests.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Inexplicably, she felt sad for the Jingning Marquis Mansion.
Such a grand marquis's mansion 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.
It was probably the sadness just now, and the remaining consciousness of the original owner at work.
Gu Qingcheng collected her thoughts and began searching her mind for memories related to Duke 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 Marquisate 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 of Zhenbei.
Duke Jingguo and Marquis Zhenbei were colleagues in the army and had fought in the same battle.
Coincidentally, good news came from both families: the daughter-in-law was pregnant!
Duke Jingguo and Marquis Zhenbei drank a few more jars of wine and talked nonsense in their drunken state, even talking about their unborn grandchildren.
The two veterans and the drunkard were drunk, pulling each other's arms and shouting that they wanted to marry their children into families.
The atmosphere was perfectly set, 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 recalled the ridiculous things that happened last night. Instead of regretting it, they found it funny.
