Gu Qingcheng listened to Li quietly. She did not interrupt and did not 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 noble family 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 Erlang 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.
They should be competitors, or even enemies.
But in the eyes of Duke Cheng'en or Han Erlang, concubines' sons (and brothers) are all their own flesh and blood and are part of the 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 achieve great things.
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, it's a long way to go.
Furthermore, Han Erlang "naively" regarded his half-brother as his real brother, but that half-brother might not be willing to recognize Han Erlang as a good brother!
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a distant cousin.
This is clearly a honey trap.
If it is not handled properly, Han Erlang will repeat the mistakes of his father - there is no legitimate son yet, but a concubine's eldest son is born first!
The eldest son of a concubine is definitely the source of family chaos.
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 exploited or humiliated.
Instead, she felt inexplicably excited: I, Gu Qingcheng, will actually be able to make a living by relying on my looks one day!
"Qingcheng, Madam Wei really likes you very much. She doesn't even care about the previous 'rumors'."
When Li saw Gu Qingcheng lowering her eyes and not saying anything, 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.
There is also Mrs. 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, and there is also a father-in-law who is partial to his illegitimate son, and a covetous brother who is watching his illegitimate son...
Tsk, this is not a rich and good family at all, it is clearly a quagmire and a den of tigers and wolves.
If a good daughter marries him, she will probably be worn down into a shrew or a shrew!
If the Marquis's Mansion had not reached the point of desperation, and if it was her own daughter, Li would definitely not do this.
But there are not so many "ifs"!
Li clenched the handkerchief in her hand and began to speak meaningfully, "Actually, the Madam 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 did not say the rest of the words.
However, she believed that the clever Gu Qingcheng would definitely understand - if she wanted to continue to be the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, she would have to marry into the Han family.
If she did not agree to the Han family's marriage, not only would she not be able to become the daughter of a marquis, she might also end up in an extremely miserable situation.
Beauty, when combined with sufficient power, is naturally the icing on the cake.
But if you have no power, it will be a deadly poison.
With such a beautiful appearance, if Gu Qingcheng had not been protected by the Marquis' Mansion and the Cheng'en Mansion, her fate would be unimaginable.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Actually, I'm not that smart.
However, she had a hunch.
Her intuition told her again, "Mom, I understand 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 even 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."
Of course Gu Qingcheng 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 taking care of her 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 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.
As for Han Erlang, who is greedy for beauty and has a mind 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.
