If Zhou Qingcheng doesn't change his family tree, Zhou Yi will be in an embarrassing situation!
The wife endured it again and again, but finally she couldn't hold it back anymore, "Master Marquis, I am so wronged! He is the prince, and his status cannot tolerate any flaws!"
"Mother, you also said that Zhou Yi is the crown prince, and his status is related to the inheritance of the title of the Marquis Mansion."
Zhou Qi was rarely smart for once.
He understood the implication of Mrs. Tai's words and said forcefully: "Of the three children, only two are of the blood of the Hou family."
Needless to say, Zhou Baozhu's face can prove it.
Zhou Qingcheng is just a girl in a movie, whether it is true or false, it has no interest in the Hou family.
If it is done well, it can also help the Hou family find a good in-law.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Yi, he was the eldest son, the future Marquis Jingning, oh no, it was Uncle Jingning.
Alas, the titles of the Zhou family are not hereditary, but are gradually reduced.
His father was still the Duke of Jingguo, and when he arrived, he became the Marquis of Jingning.
If Marquis Jingning fails to perform meritorious service, when his son inherits the title, he will only be an earl.
The crisis of the title was also one of the main reasons why Jingning Hou Zhou Qi was eager to find a good marriage.
Another reason is that Zhou Qi has a problem with his official business. If he doesn't do it right, he might become a marquis or earl, and the Zhou family may have their homes confiscated and their titles taken away!
Well, these are all things for later.
For now, the real and fake daughter is still the real phoenix and fake dragon. The person who will really affect the Hou Mansion is Zhou Yi.
There can be no question about his origin.
Mrs. Tai is very curious about Zhou Yi, a great grandson, but Zhou Qi has no shortage of sons.
He has two concubine sons born to him by his beloved Aunt Shen, and a legitimate second son by his virtuous wife Li Shi.
Compared with these sons, Zhou Yi is mediocre and not liked by Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi himself was incompetent and could not make great achievements and honor his ancestors.
He especially hopes that his sons can work hard and make progress.
And Zhou Yi is not a prodigal, but he is not an outstanding heir who can bring glory to his family.
Even if there was nothing wrong with holding the wrong child, Zhou Qi still wanted to change his son.
The only thing he cares about is his mother.
After all, he also wants to be known as a "filial son".
But, now the situation has changed——
Firstly, Zhou Yi's identity is in doubt, and it is impossible for Zhou Qi to give up the title of the Zhou family to a bastard with unknown bloodline;
Secondly, Zhou Qi is about to be in disaster!
Thinking of the troubles in official matters, Zhou Qi instantly lost the thought of pretending to be a dutiful son.
He no longer bothered with the wife about Zhou Yi, and said directly: "Mother, do you still remember the water seepage in the imperial mausoleum half a month ago?"
The madam was just about to have a good chat with her son, when she suddenly heard these words and was stunned for a moment.
After a long while, the wife nodded, "I remember! But what does this matter have to do with you?"
The madam knows her son very well.
Although he worked as an errand in the Ministry of Industry and held the official position of a doctor, he was basically just dawdling around.
The project of repairing the imperial mausoleum was indeed supervised by the Ministry of Works, but Zhou Qi didn't even touch it.
Before, the wife thought her son was useless, but when the water leakage occurred in the imperial mausoleum, the wife secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, her son was useless and did nothing, so she didn't have to take responsibility.
Zhou Qi saw his mother's thoughts and smiled bitterly: "Why doesn't it matter? I am a doctor in the Ministry of Industry!"
Something happened to the imperial mausoleum, and someone needs to take the blame.
On the surface, Zhou Qi looks like a noble marquis.
In fact, the Jingning Hou Mansion has been separated from the center of power for too long.
Good deeds and credit are not his turn.
But when someone needs to be blamed, he is the best candidate - he has an official position, a title, and some weight.
If you throw it out, the emperor will not think that the people below are fooling you!
"Mother, if I don't think of a way, I might be pushed out to be 'responsible' by them."
Zhou Qi said sadly and angrily.
Water seepage in the imperial mausoleum is not a trivial matter. It can range from depriving someone of a noble title to confiscating one's home.
If you can't keep your title, why fight for the heir apparent?
"Fortunately, Qingcheng was born well and had an oral engagement with Duke Cheng'en."
"Ms. Li said that she has found a way to contact a nun close to Mrs. Cheng'en."
"If I can get married to Duke Cheng'en, I will have a backer, and those people from the Ministry of Works will not dare to use me as a scapegoat!"
Zhou Qi knelt at the feet of the Dowager and placed his hands on her thighs.
Raising his head, Zhou Qi looked at the Madam sadly, "Mother, my son really has no other choice!"
The madam was very distressed.
She does prefer Zhou Yi, but between her grandson and her only son, she will only choose the latter.
"That girl from Qingcheng is indeed pretty, but she is not the first in the capital. Will Mrs. Chengen be satisfied?"
When the lady said this, although she still had a questioning tone, she was already shaken.
"Mom, you haven't seen Jiaojiao these days. Oh, maybe it was our ancestors who protected her. Jiaojiao became even more beautiful after a serious illness!"
"That appearance is not only the first in the capital, but also one of the best in the entire world!"
Mentioning Zhou Qingcheng's beautiful face, Zhou Qi instantly became energetic.
"Oh? Is this happening?"
The madam was also curious.
"Yes or no, he is in Wei Ruiyuan, mother just goes to see him!"
"Anyway, Mrs. Li and I have agreed that Jiaojiao must be the eldest daughter of the Hou family!"
When Zhou Qi saw his mother's attitude relaxed, he knew that the matter was done.
He is already forty years old, but he still shows his childish side in front of the Madam.
The madam thought for a long time and sighed deeply: "That's fine, just do as you say."
The madam will agree, and she is not just partial to the only son.
She is not worthy of being considered the queen of the Hou Mansion.
Just like what my son said, if the Hou Mansion cannot find help, it is very likely that he will be convicted.
Once her home is confiscated and her title is seized, the wife will become the mother of criminals. How can she have any honor or dignity?
My beloved grandson is really nothing compared to these.
In the evening, Zhou Qi returned to Xuanruitang from Cunxintang and said calmly to Mr. Li: Everything should be done as they discussed before.
Li was not surprised at all.
Zhou Qi is selfish. The wife and he are biologically biological mother and son, so naturally she is also selfish.
Li had predicted all this a long time ago, so he planned it like this.
“Things went so well!”
After marrying Zhou Qingcheng to Chengen's palace and the palace has overcome the crisis, Li will take advantage of the victory and demand that he be crowned the heir apparent!
Jingninghou Mansion can only belong to her son!
…
After being unconscious for most of the day, she suddenly felt someone pouring bitter medicinal soup into her mouth. Gu Qingcheng frowned and finally opened her eyes.
"Miss, you're awake!"
Peilan was pleasantly surprised. Although she didn't cry, her eyes were red, so she must have cried a long time ago.
When Gu Qingcheng saw this relatively loyal maid, his heart warmed, and he opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something.
At this moment, cheers rang out one after another outside——
"What? The eldest lady is awake?"
"Oh, this is really great!"
"Quickly, go to Xuanruitang and report back to Madam."
"Zelan, is the porridge still hot on the stove? Hurry up and bring a bowl to the eldest lady. After sleeping all day, the eldest lady should be hungry!"
"Come on, don't be stupid!"
The sound was very mixed, obviously there were many people talking.
Gu Qingcheng blinked. In less than a day, his treatment had undergone earth-shaking changes.
And Zhou Baozhu, who was hiding outside Wei Rui Courtyard, began to tear at the veil bitterly——
As expected, my mother was more partial to Zhou Qingcheng!
Humph! You don’t want me, but I still don’t care about you!
I also have an aunt.
As a result, Mrs. Li of Xuan Ruitang received both good news and bad news at the same time.
Good news: Zhou Qingcheng woke up and could sit up to eat;
Bad news: My biological stupid daughter is acting stupid again and ran away from home to join her stupid aunt!
ps: There are less than 20 pictures, but the friends are so enthusiastic. I am so flattered that I have nothing to repay, so I can only add more!
pps: Thank you, Zixue Alliance Leader, Bookstore Tao Li Hua Ge for the reward, thank you for your monthly tickets, thank you all for your support, mua~~
