"My lady, why are you so sick?"
"Where are the people? Why is there only one third-class maid? Where is Peilan? Where has she gone?
"You went to invite the madam? How long have you been there? Why haven't you come back yet?"
In his dazed state, Gu Qingcheng vaguely heard the cry of a woman.
Her voice sounded very familiar. Gu Qingcheng had all the memories of the original owner. After a brief thought, he guessed who that person was.
It was none other than the nanny of the original owner "Zhou Qingcheng".
However, a few days ago, the matter of the real and fake daughter came out.
The child in the Gu family looks very similar to the eldest aunt in the Hou family.
Everyone talks about niece Xiao Gu, and it can basically be concluded that the child named Gu Erya is the real daughter who was taken in by mistake.
Mrs. Hou Li gave birth to two children in total, one boy and one girl. The boy was the heir apparent. Although he was not very outstanding, he was not a playboy or a prodigal.
The wife and the marquis are regarded as the eyeballs and lifeblood.
He shouldn't be fake either.
Then the only one who can be sure that it is from Xibei is Zhou Qingcheng.
Most of the servants in the Hou Mansion are born into the same family. They are very well-informed and are the best at figuring out their master's intentions.
Although neither Mr. Hou nor Mrs. Li denied Zhou Qingcheng's identity as the eldest lady of the Hou family, the couple was obviously very cold towards Zhou Qingcheng.
Mrs. Li was doing better. After all, she raised her own child. When she was busy sending people to pick up her biological daughter, she would occasionally ask a question or two about Zhou Qingcheng.
The Marquis is a man who has no affection for raising children by himself. He also values blood in his heart, so he is particularly cold towards Zhou Qingcheng, a daughter he seems to have adopted by mistake.
The maid next to the Dowager even heard the Marquis secretly discussing with the Dowager whether to change the family tree——
According to the genealogy, Zhou Qingcheng is the eldest daughter.
The Marquis of Jingning was wealthy and had enough money to support a girl, but the title of the eldest daughter could not be occupied by a wild girl from a peasant family.
The Hou Mansion was able to give Zhou Qingcheng the status of an adopted daughter, and if anyone told her about it, she would be praised for her kindness.
It is reasonable for the Marquis to say that he wants to change the family tree.
This word quickly spread among the servants and servants of the Hou Mansion.
Everyone in Wei Ruiyuan was panicked.
You must know that Mrs. Li values Zhou Qingcheng's daughter and chooses children from excellent families for Wei Ruiyuan - capable and reliable.
For several generations, they were all servants of the Hou Mansion.
Most of the parents and elders of such "upright" servants are in charge of certain places in the Hou Mansion.
Getting things done is extremely easy.
However, such a slave has advantages and disadvantages.
When Zhou Qingcheng, the master, is in good times, they can be the icing on the cake.
But once they fall into the dust, they can run faster than anyone else.
They all have children in the same family, and they all work as servants in the Marquis Mansion. It is not easy to change their masters.
In just a few days, Zhou Qingcheng went from being surrounded by people to having only two or three kittens.
Even her nanny Yun, who she relied on the most and trusted the most, resigned from her job in the Hou Mansion because she was "old" and was taken out by her son to take care of her in old age.
At this moment, the old woman lying in front of the bed wiping her tears was Grandma Yun.
Gu Qingcheng:......
Man, it’s such a contradiction.
It's not that Grandma Yun is not loyal enough, it's just that people are distant and close.
Zhou Qingcheng was indeed a child raised by Grandma Yun, but Grandma Yun was not alone.
She also has a large family of relatives.
She cannot delay the future of her children and grandchildren for the sake of a fake daughter.
However, Grandma Yun was worried about Zhou Qingcheng. Before being sent back to her hometown by her son, she deliberately found an opportunity to sneak back and take another look at Zhou Qingcheng.
I happened to witness the desolate scene of "Zhou Qingcheng" pitifully ill and lying on the bed.
Grandma Yun felt distressed for a moment and talked a lot.
At the end, she muttered in confusion:
"...Oh, the same goes for Madam. In the past, she clearly loved the young lady the most, and she loved you more than the Crown Prince. Why did she suddenly change?"
When Gu Qingcheng, who was half awake and half unconscious, heard this, he couldn't help but ask in his heart: Yes, why did Mrs. Li change just because she said she would?
Gu Qingcheng clearly saw in the memory of the original owner that Mrs. Li had been very good to Zhou Qingcheng since she was a child.
Gu Qingcheng has been a mother herself, and she knows very well the effort and emotion a mother puts into raising her children.
She felt that the relationship between mother and daughter for more than ten years would not be severed by blood.
Men definitely value bloodline more, but mothers will value their own efforts bit by bit more.
Of course, this does not mean that mothers will ignore their biological children. They are more likely to be embarrassed and want to "get the best of both worlds."
That is to say, both the biological daughter and the adopted daughter are required, no matter how good the compensation is for the biological daughter.
Li's attitude towards Zhou Qingcheng was a bit strange.
A small part of Gu Qingcheng's IQ was exchanged for her appearance.
However, she still retains the brain of an ordinary person.
Silently, she hid this question in her heart.
"Miss, I feel sorry for you and can no longer serve you. You must take care of yourself in the future!"
After saying this, Grandma Yun quietly left without being discovered.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Li led a group of people and rushed over with great fanfare.
"Qingcheng! My son, what's wrong with you?"
Before anyone even entered the courtyard, Ms. Li called eagerly.
Her face was full of worry, like a loving mother worried about her daughter.
But there was hesitation in her eyes.
People who know the inside story can understand after looking at her appearance: the child they have loved for more than ten years is not their biological child.
However, her biological daughter suffered more than ten years of hardship on behalf of Zhou Qingcheng.
This Mrs. Li, facing Zhou Qingcheng again, does not hurt, or does not hurt.
It's so pitiful to be in a dilemma!
In addition to the feelings she has devoted to herself and the feelings of her biological daughter, Li also has another concern - the crown prince Zhou Yi.
Of the three children involved because of the wrong embrace, only Gu Erya, also known as Gu Baozhu, can be identified.
Zhou Qingcheng and the prince Zhou Yi, it is difficult to judge which one is true and which one is false.
It would be okay if Mrs. Li had no other biological sons except Zhou Yi, but five years after giving birth to twins, Mrs. Li gave birth to another son.
Her second son, Zhou Ren, the fourth son of the Marquis.
Zhou Ren is eleven years old this year. He is healthy, smart and studious, and is deeply loved by Mr. Hou and his wife.
Even the wife who raised her eldest grandson Zhou Yi with her own hands and was partial to this grandson also liked this ambitious little grandson very much.
Yes, Zhou Yi was picked up and raised by the Dowager as soon as she was one month old.
Li, a mother, is not very close to Zhou Yi.
Therefore, Mrs. Li was "suspected" - she hated the eldest son who was raised by her mother-in-law, and only liked the second son who was raised by herself.
She would most likely use the matter of the real and fake daughter to deny Zhou Yi's identity.
No one doubted that Zhou Yi was not Li's biological child, but Li had a motive for doing this.
Throughout the ages, eccentric mothers simply don’t want too many.
Otherwise, there would be no allusion to "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan".
Ms. Li probably knew this too, and she wanted to avoid suspicion.
She couldn't show too close to Zhou Qingcheng.
But she couldn't be completely indifferent. After all, she was famous among the ladies of the capital as a well-educated, gentle and kind-hearted virtuous woman.
Even the old servants around her can be treated very favorably by Mrs. Li, let alone the daughter she raised by herself? !
If Li is in trouble, she must also be in trouble.
This sense of proportion is really difficult to control.
Mrs. Li clenched the handkerchief tightly, a flash of perseverance flashed in her eyes - things have reached this point, no matter how difficult it is, we must keep going!
"Oh, you kid is so sensitive and thoughtful!"
"It's not that mother doesn't want you, it's just that what happened back then was a mess, and I'm still in a mess in my heart."
While walking into the inner room, Mrs. Li muttered helplessly.
However, when she walked closer to the bed and saw the pale and unconscious "Zhou Qingcheng", she couldn't help but change her expression.
This girl's condition seems to be really bad!
Also, after not seeing each other for a few days, how did she become so beautiful?
Mrs. Li knew that Zhou Qingcheng was beautiful and looked neither like her nor the Marquis.
Ahem, both she and Mr. Hou could only be considered upright in appearance, not as good as the eldest sister she hated.
Zhou Qingcheng is a rare beauty. Coupled with her frail body, she has a delicate and timid temperament.
Women couldn't help but feel pity when they saw it, let alone those grown men.
Zhou Qingcheng was already very beautiful in the past, but at this moment, Zhou Qingcheng was as beautiful as a mortal.
Even though she is very sick and haggard, even if her eyes are closed, she is still breathtakingly beautiful.
What does it mean to conquer a country and a city?
What does it mean to harm the country and the people?
All the words that describe a peerless beauty are perfectly interpreted by Zhou Qingcheng.
Suddenly, Mrs. Li smiled, she finally had a way to take the most difficult step!
