Chapter 24
"Child, come here! 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 40s waved to her.
Zhou Baozhu's eyes lit up, it was her aunt!
In her previous life, she loved herself the most.
Feeling happy in his heart, Zhou Baozhu showed it on his face.
Zhou Xian, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family, was happy to see her niece who was 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 from the same mold!"
Zhou Xian shouted exaggeratedly at the Madam.
Mrs. Tai didn't feel much about the newly found granddaughter.
She has no shortage of grandchildren, and the existence of Zhou Baozhu directly calls into question the identity of her precious grandson. The madam must not be happy in her heart.
It happened that this matter was caused by his own daughter.Mrs. Tai wanted to scold someone, but she couldn't find a suitable one.
The anger in his heart was finally vented on Zhou Baozhu and Zhou Qingcheng, two girls.
Especially Zhou Baozhu, who was hunchbacked with chest in his arms, timid and timid, petty, and could not get on the stage.
There is also the kind of inferiority and cowardice coming out of the bones, like a humble countryman.
Even if she puts on a splendid dress, she doesn't look like the daughter of the Hou Mansion.
...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 downcast face!
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 at all like a grandmother treating her granddaughter, but rather like teasing a little maid, even cats and dogs!
Zhou Baozhu was reborn, and he was extremely sensitive, so he naturally felt the concubine’s contempt for him——
Again!
This old hag didn't like me in her 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 realize 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 Mansion.
"What a pity! The daughter of the Marquis's family, who should have been a noble and noble one, ended up living in a poor peasant family!"
Zhou Xian was always trying to find fault, seeing Zhou Baozhu so timid and timid, he felt that the opportunity came, so he began to provoke him.
The wife has always been partial to her eldest daughter. 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 too!
"Yes, it is indeed pitiful!"
Madam Tai made up her mind, and softened Zhou Baozhu a bit, "Son, since you're back, it's fine!"
"Don't worry, the Hou Mansion will definitely compensate you!"
As for that Zhou Qingcheng, the name 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 Master Hou comes back, let him 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 slow.
Jingning Hou Zhou Qi worked as an errand in the Ministry of Industry, which was not an important official position. He was only a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Industry.
He had a sad look on his face, and there was a sense of dejection all over him.
Back at the Hou's mansion, just after entering the second gate, she was stopped by the servant girl of Xuanruitang who had been waiting early.
"Miss is sick? Then please ask the imperial physician! Master Ben is 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 after you go to Wei Ruiyuan!"
Zhou Qi frowned, feeling very unhappy.
However, after thinking about it, my wife is the most stable person.
She will definitely not show off mysteries.
Is there really something important?
Oh, that's really annoying.
The yamen is in a mess, and when I get home, there is a ridiculous lawsuit about the wrong child!
Zhou Qi was full of negative energy, but he still followed the little maid to Weirui Courtyard.
"Ma'am, what do you want from me?"
As soon as Zhou Qi stepped into the Weirui courtyard, he yelled at the top of his voice.
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 Marquis, of course it is 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.
Under the influence of Mrs. Tai, Zhou Qi is very patriarchal in his bones.
"..."
Li was choked.
She was always a shrewd and capable person, but she was unlucky to marry such a foolish person as Zhou Qi.
There is a mean and difficult mother-in-law above, and there is a bad and stupid elder 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 Marquis, 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 physician has already checked the pulse and prescribed the medicine, and has already left.
In the dormitory, there were only "Zhou Qingcheng" who was still unconscious, as well as Aunt Su and two or three maids.
Mrs. Li directly dragged Zhou Qi to the bed, allowing him to see Zhou Qingcheng's face clearly.
"hiss!"
Zhou Qi gasped.
As a father, he was not very close to his daughter.
But I can always see it every few days.
So he knew Zhou Qingcheng's appearance.
But, not seeing each other for a few days, his daughter, who was suspected of being hugged wrong, has grown into a peerless beauty that overwhelms the country and the city.
Neither Zhou Qi nor Li Shi suspected that Zhou Qingcheng had changed, because the general appearance did not change much.
But it just looks more beautiful and refined, as if it is not like ordinary people.
Seeing that it 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 Marquis, 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 surprise?"
Lee: …
Forget it, I already knew he was stupid, so why should I be angry about it?
In fact, there is no harm in the fact that the husband is stupid.
At least for Li Shi, it was because Zhou Qi was not smart enough that she was able to hold the entire Hou Mansion in her hands these years.
What happened back then can only 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.
Ms. Li had no choice but to speak more clearly, "Even if the 'marriage with fingertips' 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 Second Young Master. It's not a joke."
Zhou Qi seemed to understand somewhat, "Madam, what do you mean?"
Mrs. Li pouted in the direction of the dormitory, "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.
and many more!
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 Hou Mansion will also have a backer.
And his business troubles, there are ways to solve them!
Zhou Qi finally understood what Li Shi meant, and his eyes became bright instantly, "Yes! 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!"
When Li Shi heard this, his eyes flickered.
She can guess Mrs. Tai's intentions without asking.
It's a pity, dear mother-in-law, you are a step behind.
In other words, Mrs. Tai still hasn’t seen through Zhou Qi’s true nature: selfish!
"What? Change Jiaojiao's family tree? Register her as an adopted daughter?"
"No! Of course not! No one can tell 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!"
After hearing what Mrs. Tai said, Zhou Qi shook his head like a rattle.
How could Zhou Qingcheng change his family tree?
He also wanted Zhou Qingcheng to cling to the second son of Duke Cheng'en's mansion.
There is a huge 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. She once again wailed in her heart: How could she give birth to a stupid son like Zhou Qi if she was so smart? !
On the first day of December, I got 9 monthly tickets, and there are only 11 more to be added. Dear friends, keep going, don't stop with monthly tickets! (*^▽^*)
