"Child, come here quickly! Let me have a good look!"
Zhou Baozhu arrived at Mrs. Tai's Cunxin Hall. Before she could say hello to Mrs. Tai who was sitting in the main hall, a lady in her forties waved to her.
Zhou Baozhu's eyes lit up, it was her aunt!
In her last life, she loved herself the most.
Zhou Baozhu was happy in her heart and it showed on her face.
Zhou Xian, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family, was happy to see her niece who looked very similar to herself.
Now seeing her so close to him again, he felt even happier.
"Oh, mother, look, this child really looks like I am carved out of the same mold!"
Zhou Xian exaggeratedly shouted at the Madam.
The wife originally had no feelings for her newly found granddaughter.
She has no shortage of grandchildren, but the existence of Zhou Baozhu directly brings into question the identity of her precious grandson, and the wife is definitely not happy.
It happened that this incident was caused by her own daughter. The madam wanted to scold someone, but she couldn't find a suitable target.
The anger in my heart was finally vented on the two girls Zhou Baozhu and Zhou Qingcheng.
Zhou Baozhu, in particular, is hunchbacked, timid, petty, and unable to stand on stage.
There is also the kind of inferiority and cowardice that comes from the bones, very much like a humble country person.
Even if she wears splendid clothes, she doesn't look like the daughter of the Hou family.
...It can be said that from the moment Zhou Baozhu entered the door, Mrs. Tai disliked Zhou Baozhu from her hair to her toes!
She wasn't even interested in looking at Zhou Baozhu's face that was always looking down!
However, after hearing what her precious eldest daughter said, the wife finally became somewhat interested.
"Oh? Really? Lift your head and let me see!"
The madam herself didn't even notice that her tone of voice was condescending.
It's not like a grandmother teasing her biological granddaughter at all, but like teasing a little maid, or even cats and dogs!
Zhou Baozhu was reborn, and he was extremely sensitive, so he naturally felt the concubine's contempt for him——
That’s it again!
This old witch didn't like me in my previous life, and she still looks down on me in this life.
Zhou Baozhu was reborn with hatred, and it was inevitable that he would be filled with anger in his heart.
It's just that she didn't notice it herself.
As for Mrs. Tai and Zhou Xian, they didn't know Zhou Baozhu well. Seeing her alienated eyes, they just thought that the child was afraid of life and was frightened by the wealth of the Hou family.
"What a pity! The daughter of a noble family, who should have been a noble man, ended up living in a poor peasant family!"
Zhou Xian was deliberately looking for trouble, but when he saw Zhou Baozhu being so timid and fearful, he realized that he had an opportunity, so he started to provoke him with words.
The wife has always been partial to her eldest daughter, and Zhou Baozhu looks very much like her eldest daughter, and her experience is indeed pitiful.
Thinking about Zhou Qingcheng, and then thinking about her raised grandson Zhou Yi, she instantly made a decision in her heart——
Zhou Qingcheng must have been hugged by the wrong person! It must be her!
"Yes, it is indeed pitiful!"
Madam Tai made a decision and became a little gentle towards Zhou Baozhu, "My child, since you are back, you will be fine!"
"Don't worry, the Hou Mansion will definitely compensate you!"
As for Zhou Qingcheng, his identity must be determined as soon as possible.
Only by making Zhou Qingcheng a fake daughter can her great grandson continue to be the heir apparent!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai didn't need Zhou Xian to instigate her this time, so she took the initiative and said, "Go and see if the Marquis is back?"
"If Lord Marquis comes back, ask him to come over!"
A person who looked like a big maid quickly bowed and answered, and cleverly sent a little maid to guard the front yard.
As soon as the Marquis comes back, he will directly invite people to Cunxintang.
However, she was still a step slower.
Zhou Qi, the Marquis of Jingning, worked as an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs, which was not an important official position. He was only a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Works.
He had a sad look on his face, and there was a sense of despair all over his body.
Returning to the Hou Mansion, as soon as I entered the second gate, I was stopped by the maid Xuan Ruitang who had been waiting for me early.
"The eldest lady is sick? Then please ask a doctor! I am not a doctor!"
Zhou Qi said angrily.
The little maid was not afraid and continued to say respectfully, "Madam, there are still important things to discuss with the Marquis. You will know when you go to Wei Ruiyuan!"
Zhou Qi frowned, feeling very unhappy.
However, on second thought, my wife is the most stable person.
She won't show off.
Is there really something important?
Oh, it's so annoying.
The Yamen was in a mess, and when I got home, there was a ridiculous lawsuit about having the wrong child!
Zhou Qi was full of negative energy, but he still followed the little maid to Wei Ruiyuan.
"Madam, what do you want from me?"
As soon as Zhou Qi stepped into Wei Ruiyuan, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Mrs. Li came out to greet Zhou Qi, as if she didn't see the gloom on Zhou Qi's face. She grabbed his arm and whispered: "Master Hou, of course it's a happy event!"
"A happy event? Isn't it just that I brought that girl back? Isn't this considered a happy event?"
What kind of real or fake daughter is, to put it bluntly, it's just a girl's movie.
Zhou Qi was influenced by his wife and was very patriarchal in nature.
"..."
Li was choked.
She has always been a smart and capable person, but she was unlucky enough to marry a confused person like Zhou Qi.
There is a mean and difficult mother-in-law, a bad and stupid sister-in-law in the middle, and now there is an even stupider biological daughter...
That is to say, Li's psychology was strong enough, so he was not mentally broken by a group of top performers.
She took a deep breath and said, "Master Hou, please come with me!"
She simply didn't talk nonsense and spoke directly with facts.
She took Zhou Qi's arm, and the couple entered the east room of Wei Ruiyuan, which was Zhou Qingcheng's bedroom.
The imperial doctor had already checked his pulse and prescribed medicine, but had already left.
In the dormitory, there were only "Zhou Qingcheng" who was still unconscious, as well as Aunt Su and two or three maids.
Li directly dragged Zhou Qi to the bed and let him see Zhou Qingcheng's face clearly.
"hiss!"
Zhou Qi took a breath of cold air.
As a father, he is not very close to his daughter.
But I can always see it every few days.
So he knew Zhou Qingcheng's appearance.
However, after a few days of absence, his daughter, who was suspected to have been carried by the wrong child, actually grew into a peerless figure that would captivate the entire country.
Neither Zhou Qi nor Li Shi suspected that Zhou Qingcheng had changed into a different person, because the general appearance did not change much.
But it just looks more beautiful and refined, as if it doesn't look like a mortal.
Seeing that it had worked, Li took Zhou Qi's arm and walked out.
The two of them came to the main room outside, and Mrs. Li said meaningfully, "Master Hou, is this a 'surprise'?"
Zhou Qi's brain was a beat slower, or in other words, his brain circuit was not on the same frequency as Li's.
He asked blankly: "What's the surprise?"
Li:……
Forget it, I already knew he was stupid, so why should I be angry about it?
In fact, there is no harm in having a stupid husband.
At least for Li, it was because Zhou Qi was not smart enough that she was able to hold the entire Hou Mansion in her hands over the years.
Only then can things be handled so satisfactorily!
Trying to comfort herself again, Ms. Li quickly adjusted her mood. She reminded with a smile: "Master Marquis, this is a marriage from Duke Cheng'en's Mansion!"
"That was just a joke between my father and the old man!" Zhou Qi still didn't understand Li's intention.
Li had no choice but to speak more clearly, "Even if the 'fingertip marriage' thing is a joke, a few days ago, the Duke's wife announced that she would hire a stunning beauty to be the wife of the Third Young Master.
It’s not a joke.”
Zhou Qi seemed to understand somewhat, "Madam, what do you mean?"
Ms. Li pursed her lips in the direction of the bedroom, "Is our Jiaojiao a stunning beauty?"
Jiaojiao is Zhou Qingcheng's nickname, given by Li.
"Forget it!" Zhou Qi nodded firmly.
If Zhou Qingcheng in the past could only be regarded as a beauty, then Zhou Qingcheng at this moment is absolutely stunning!
It definitely meets Mrs. Chengen's requirements for a daughter-in-law.
etc!
Daughter-in-law?
They can marry Zhou Qingcheng to the Duke's Mansion.
Once they become in-laws with Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, their Mansion will also have a backer.
There is also a way to solve his official troubles!
Zhou Qi finally understood the meaning of history, and his eyes instantly became bright, "Yes! A happy event! This is really a great happy event!"
At this time, the little maid from Cun Xintang chased to Wei Ruiyuan: "Master Marquis, Madam, please come over!"
Hearing this, Mr. Li's eyes flickered.
She could guess the Madam's intention without asking.
It's a pity, dear mother-in-law, that you are a step too slow.
In other words, Mrs. Tai still hasn’t seen through Zhou Qi’s true nature: selfish!
"What? Give Jiaojiao the genealogy? Register her as an adopted daughter?"
"No! Definitely not! No one can tell clearly what happened back then. Maybe Jiaojiao is my biological daughter!"
"I can't do this! You can add the orb to the family tree, but you can never change Qingcheng's name!"
Zhou Qi shook his head like a rattle after hearing what Mrs. Tai said.
How can you give Zhou Qingcheng this genealogy?
He also wanted Zhou Qingcheng to seduce the third son of Duke Chengen.
There is a world of difference between the eldest daughter of the Hou family and the adopted daughter of the Hou family!
The madam was so angry that her chest ached, and she once again wailed in her heart: How could she give birth to a stupid son like Zhou Qi if she was so shrewd?!
On the first day of December, I got 9 monthly tickets, and I still have 11 more to go. Dear friends, keep going, don’t stop monthly tickets! (*^▽^*) This chapter has been completed!
