"Sister Liuli, please help me pass the message. Our eldest lady has fainted again!"
Peilan stood outside Xuanrui Hall, pleading to a person who looked like a big maid.
"Peilan, it's not that I won't help you communicate, but Madam is having a heart-to-heart talk with the 'newly' found 'eldest lady'."
The maid named Liuli is the first-class maid next to Mrs. Li.
She and Peilan are about the same age, and they are both children of the Hou family, and they started working in the house at about the same time.
However, Liuli was a person close to Mrs. Li, so she was naturally higher than Peilan, a servant who worked in the young master's courtyard.
Not to mention, Zhou Qingcheng now... tsk tsk!
Liuli didn't show it on her face, but she was already shaking her head in her heart.
And when she spoke, she couldn't help but emphasize the pronunciation of a few words.
The implication of her words is very clear: the real eldest lady is back, and the Xibei guy in Weiruiyuan should also fall out of favor.
Even if their wives were kind and reluctant to leave the children they had raised for more than ten years, they could only keep Zhou Qingcheng in the Hou Mansion as an adopted daughter.
But it is no longer possible for her to be a noble and decent eldest daughter of the Marquis Mansion like she used to be.
Therefore, after the news of the real and fake daughter came out, the maids and women in Zhou Qingcheng's yard ran away and became "sick".
Four first-class maids, four second-class maids, eight third-class maids plus four rough servants, a total of twenty servants in Weiruiyuan, but only Peilan and one third-class were left. little maid.
We can't blame those people for following the wind, it's just the reality.
Liuli felt that if Peilan's mother hadn't died and her stepmother was in charge of the house, and no one could help her take care of things, her family would have found a way to transfer her to another yard as an errand worker.
There should be nothing that Peilan can do if he stays in Wei Ruiyuan.
In this case, why bother trying so hard to help Zhou Qingcheng plan? Haha, in order to see Madam and to make Madam feel distressed, she started to pretend to be sick!
Yes, Liuli didn't believe that Gu Qingcheng was sick again.
Although this eldest lady has been frail since she was a child, the Marquis has taken good care of her for more than ten years.
It doesn’t matter how much it’s worth, whether it’s ginseng, bird’s nest, snow lotus or white fungus, as long as it’s good for the eldest lady’s health, Madam and the Marquis will get it back without any worries!
The Marquis even spared his face and asked Doctor Qin from the Imperial Hospital to see the young lady in person and prepare prescriptions to nourish her body.
After these years of careful care, the eldest lady's health no longer has any major problems.
At most, every time the seasons change, I will catch a cold or cough a few times.
That is to say, she is a little weaker than other rich ladies, and she is far from being able to linger on the sickbed.
A few days ago, when the Hou family discovered that the child might be held in the wrong hands, Zhou Qingcheng became "sick".
The wife, the Marquis and the prince all had a hard time, but the imperial doctor came and checked his pulse and found that there was nothing serious.
The imperial doctor's tactful reminder told Zhou Qingcheng to relax and rest well.
The implication is that Zhou Qingcheng was worried that she was the wrong child and would be kicked out by the Hou family, so she deliberately pretended to be sick.
[Hmph, it’s only been a few days, and the eldest lady is actually sick again! 】
Liuli cursed secretly, she already had a criminal record, and now when she said "sick", it sounded like a lie.
Liuli didn’t believe it anyway!
Peilan became more and more anxious, "I know Madam is busy, but our lady is really sick."
She has served the eldest lady for several years and is very familiar with her physical condition.
Maybe the previous eldest lady did have the experience of pretending to be sick, but this time, she was really sick.
Peilan could clearly see that the eldest lady's face was very ugly and her breathing was rapid.
Peilan had a bad premonition that the eldest lady seemed to be really sick.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this incident about the real and fake daughter was so exciting to her young lady that she got some strange disease? !
"Sister Liuli, please help me."
Peilan was so anxious that she almost shed tears.
Her family refused to help her, and she was grateful for the eldest lady's kindness in the early years.
Furthermore, Peilan had an inexplicable feeling that the eldest daughter of her family would not remain silent.
Even if she really can't stay in the Hou Mansion anymore, the eldest lady still has a fiancé.
The eldest lady's fiancé is a young master from the dignified Duke's palace and the future heir apparent.
After careful consideration, Peilan felt that staying with the eldest lady was not necessarily a dead end.
To put it bluntly, even if there is no future with the eldest lady and no one helps her to establish connections, she will not be able to go to other houses.
As the only maid next to the eldest lady, if something happens to the eldest lady and the lady holds her accountable, she will be the first to be punished.
Now she and the eldest lady are tied together. Only when the eldest lady is good can she be good.
Thinking of this, Peilan was heartbroken and simply stopped entangled with Liuli. She shouted towards the courtyard at the top of her lungs: "Madam! Madam! Something's wrong! Something's wrong with the eldest lady!"
"Please save the eldest lady! Madam! Madam!!"
In critical moments, people can always stimulate their body's potential.
Peilan didn't even know that he could have such a loud voice.
Screams passed through the courtyard gate and entered the courtyard.
Across the huge courtyard, Mr. Li, who was sitting in the main room, could hear clearly.
She frowned and turned to look at Aunt Su.
Aunt Su quickly said, "Old slave, go out and take a look!"
Li nodded slightly.
Grandma Su hurried out.
Ms. Li still maintained her sitting posture, and she glanced at Gu Erya, who seemed to have suffered a serious blow.
well!
She is a bit stupid, but she is her biological daughter after all.
She had indeed owed her the past dozen years.
"Baozhu! I will name you Baozhu, from now on you will be Gu Baozhu!"
Li suddenly spoke, awakening Gu Erya.
Gu Erya, oh no, it should be Gu Baozhu, she looked at Li blankly——
Baozhu was the name my mother gave me?
How do I remember that in my previous life, it seemed that I was angry with Zhou Qingcheng, so I deliberately gave myself the name "Baozhu".
She just wanted to tell Zhou Qingcheng: I am the real apple of the Zhou family's eye, the most dazzling orb!
Unlike her, Zhou Qingcheng, even though she is beautiful, she is just a fake daughter.
After being reborn, he was taken back to the Hou Mansion again, and met his biological mother, but the situation was like this——
Zhou Qingcheng is not a fake daughter, she is most likely her biological sister.
Although her mother disliked her, she was not indifferent to the end.
She named herself "Baozhu".
Does this mean that in the mother's heart, she is the most precious pearl of the Zhou family?
Gu Baozhu's heart was confused again.
She felt like there was something wrong with the memory of her previous life.
[Gu Baozhu, what are you thinking about? Could it be that just one name bought you off? 】
[Even if there is something wrong with the memory of your previous life, you can’t guarantee that your father and mother’s favorite daughter is you! 】
[It is true that they prefer Zhou Qingcheng, and they will like her even more in the future. 】
[As for you, you will still repeat the tragedy of your previous life, being despised, exiled, and completely annihilated in a remote nunnery! 】
Thinking of this, Gu Baozhu, who had just been soft-hearted, became firmer.
She raised her head with burning eyes, "Even though she is my sister, my mother seems to like her more!"
"Since you don't love me, why bother to get me back?"
"Mrs. Li, I feel that we, mother and daughter, are really not destined to be together."
"In that case, there is no need to force anything between you and me—"
In her previous life, she humbly prayed for the maternal love that was destined not to belong to her, and she could not get the warmth and happiness of her family.
In this life, she doesn't care about it anymore!
If she couldn't get the true and only love, she would rather not have it!
Li: ...This child, not only in appearance, but also in character, has the same virtues as the eldest aunt she hates!
It just so happened that such a stupid, willful child was her own flesh and blood.
She really doesn't like it, but she won't really give it up.
Mrs. Li has been dealing with her eldest aunt for several years, so she is naturally familiar with the nature of this kind of person.
She secretly endured her displeasure and pretended to be indifferent, "Okay! This is what you said, don't regret it in the future!"
"I do not regret!"
Gu Baozhu raised his head and said stubbornly.
She secretly swore in her heart: I will not regret it, on the contrary, I will make you regret it!
Li:……
At this moment, Nanny Su hurried in.
She leaned into Mrs. Li's ear and whispered softly, "Madam, the eldest lady is sick. It seems to be true this time."
Hearing this, a hint of evil flashed in Li's eyes.
But soon, she showed an anxious look, "Why are you sick? Have you asked the doctor? Oh, I'd better go over and see for myself!"
With that said, Mrs. Li stood up and walked quickly towards Wei Ruiyuan.
Gu Baozhu didn't notice the change in Li's eyes. She only saw Li running to visit Zhou Qingcheng "very anxiously."
"It's like this again! My mother is as partial as ever!"
Gu Baozhu closed her eyes forcefully, cutting off the last trace of fantasy in her heart.
