Mother and son join forces to abuse the scum to seize power and fight for the family property!

Wei and Zhou Tao looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Gu Qingqing sent Wei away and gave Zhou Tao some instructions alone.

"It is rumored that Duke Li is not interested in women. I am afraid that my cousin will be wronged. Only if you can humble yourself and take the initiative, you can become the wife of Duke Li. Do you understand?" Gu Qingqing guided.

Who is Cheng Lang? Who is Zhou Tao?

Only if Zhou Tao uses every possible means to get close to Cheng Lang can she have a chance to become the wife of Duke Li.

There are only two dukes in Dongyu. How easy is it to become a duke's wife?

Zhou Tao's heart was pounding. "But...but Your Majesty, how can I take the initiative?"

Gu Qingqing: ...

Does she need to teach me how to seduce people?

"You go back home first. In two days, I will send an aunt to teach you." Gu Qingqing said.

At that time, she would ask a prostitute to teach Zhou Tao, which would surely make Zhou Tao humble herself and save face.

If you want to associate with the rich and powerful, you have to put in the effort and pay the price. How can you succeed easily in this world?

She has achieved her current status through her own efforts.

Sima Yunlong is already 52 years old, and she still has to humble herself to please him and coax him. Although she, the virtuous concubine, seems to be glamorous on the surface, how many people know the bitterness behind it?

But she doesn't regret it!

She wants to be the boss and the most honorable woman in Dongyu.

As long as she can become the empress dowager, what does all the suffering she is going through now matter?

Zhou Tao: "I understand. I will follow your Majesty's arrangements."

Gu Qingqing pinched her shoulders and encouraged her, "Whether to be a commoner's wife or the wife of a duke's mansion depends on your choice, cousin."

Hearing this, Zhou Tao bit her lip, and her eyes gradually became firm.

"Don't worry, Madam. I know what to do."

Gu Qingqing smiled with relief, "Then I'll be waiting for good news from my cousin."

Zhou Tao was full of confidence, her eyes full of expectation, "I will definitely not let you down."

Gu Qingqing encouraged Zhou Tao again and asked her to have lunch before letting the nanny send them out of the palace.

The Wei mother and daughter returned to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion triumphantly.

When they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, the mother and daughter went their separate ways. Wei went to greet Zhou, while Zhou Tao went to see Su Yuan.

Because of Zhou, Zhou Tao also doesn't take Su Yuan seriously.

However, this time she had to trouble Su Yuan to take her to see Duke Li, so Zhou Tao had to come and establish a good relationship with Su Yuan.

At this moment, Su Yuan is developing his own elixir. This kind of elixir for strengthening the body is prepared for Sima Yunlong and Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan presented these pills to Sima Yunlong in order to gain his favor.

During the Lantern Festival, she will go to meet Cheng Lang, and Gao Xuan will also become famous and gradually emerge in Kyoto.

"Cousin, what are you doing?" Zhou Tao smelled the medicine and subconsciously covered her nose.

Su Yuan slowly put the pills into the porcelain bottle. Then she looked up at Zhou Tao and asked, "Have you gone to see the Empress?"

Zhou Tao smiled and nodded, "Yes! My cousin Concubine De invited my mother and me to have lunch in the palace. My mother and I just left the palace."

"It can be seen that the queen treats my cousin very specially." Su Yuan poured Zhou Tao a cup of tea and flattered her at the same time.

Gu Qingqing is a profit-driven woman. She will only spend time and energy to build relationships with people who are beneficial to her.

In the past, the Zhou family had never been of any help to her, and she didn't take them seriously at all.

Now that Zhou Tao was useful, Gu Qingqing remembered the Zhou family.

I don’t know whether it is luck or misfortune to be noticed by Gu Qingqing.

Zhou Tao pursed her lips and smiled, "Cousin Defei... is indeed very kind to me. Cousin, has she ever told you about taking me out during the Lantern Festival?"

She took the opportunity to ask the question that she wanted to ask most.

I don’t know if Gu Qingqing had greeted Su Yuan in advance. What if Su Yuan didn’t take her with her on the Lantern Festival? How would she have the chance to meet Duke Li?

Su Yuan nodded: "I told you, on the Lantern Festival, cousin, come with me to visit Duke Li at his mansion?"

Zhou Tao was overjoyed. She bit her lip to suppress her smile, "Okay, don't worry, cousin. Tao'er won't cause any trouble for you."

She will definitely perform well and will not let Gu Qingqing and Su Yuan down.

Su Yuan smiled faintly and drank tea quietly.

It would be strange if it didn't cause trouble for her!

But this was Gu Qingqing's idea, and she would not take the blame for Gu Qingqing.

She would make it clear to Cheng Lang that she had no right to interfere with his choice.
