The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

"Nine Lady, you also know your own situation. Ever since you had difficulty giving birth to Brother Yu, the doctor has asserted that it will be extremely difficult for you to get pregnant again. Brother Yu is in such a situation. My son refused to take a concubine for your sake. Now the war is tense and we are on the verge of death. To be honest, if something happens to you, how can you and I face our ancestors in the Marquisate? Could it be that such a huge Marquisate will be handed over to a fool in the future..."

As soon as Pei Jiuniang woke up, she heard the familiar and noisy voice of her mother-in-law Liu.

She was stunned for a long while before she came to her senses.

She was reborn, and it was the time when she was persuaded by her mother-in-law to adopt Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi.

In her previous life, her mother-in-law Liu also used both kindness and force to persuade her to adopt Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi. Due to the pressure from her mother-in-law, her pity for the children, and after noticing that they were really good children, she agreed with the intention of finding two companions for her brother Yu so that he could improve himself.

But after the arrival of these two children, Yu Ge, who was already sensitive, became even more closed. Yu Ge was born prematurely, and then he suffered some hardships on the battlefield. He was exposed to the cruelty of the battlefield at a young age, so he didn't like to talk and gave people a gloomy feeling.

At first, she patiently taught Brother Yu, but later her mother-in-law became increasingly dissatisfied with Brother Yu. In addition, after Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi came, Brother Yu had some conflicts with them. Brother Yu also beat Gu Xijue and pushed Gu Yuzhi into the river. In the middle of winter, Gu Yuzhi almost froze to death in the river, and later she suffered from a cough.

Out of guilt and disappointment in Yu Ge, Pei Jiuniang registered the two children as her own legitimate sons, and later invited famous teachers to teach them.

Gu Xijue lived up to everyone's expectations. He was proficient in both civil and military affairs at a young age. He even passed the imperial examination and became a disciple of the emperor at the age of sixteen. Gu Yuzhi also became a talented woman praised by everyone in the capital. Later, she was favored by the Princess of Qin and married to the Prince of Qin.

However, her own son was punished by Gu Tingzhi with thirty military sticks for pushing Gu Yuzhi into the water, and was later sent to a farm. Later, he became lame in one leg and had sores all over his face due to smallpox infection. He became inferior and sensitive.

But it was this son whom she had forgotten, who, when she was publicly criticized by her adopted sons and daughters for how harshly she had treated them and forced them to become talented and was trapped in a remote hospital due to illness, dragged his sick body and served her as a servant in the mansion until her last journey. Later, he knelt down and begged for a coffin to contain her body and buried her in mourning clothes.

She had already died by then, but her soul was trapped. She witnessed with her own eyes how her biological son voluntarily wrote a letter of renunciation for her, handed over his title of marquis to someone else, and even wrote her epitaph himself. Looking at the wonderful words, Pei Jiuniang finally understood why her adopted son could become a Jinshi at the age of sixteen, and why those praised poems by Gu Yuzhi were all written by her biological son.

The one with great talent is her biological son.

What made her even more desperate was that after her death, Gu Tingzhi actually married the aunt of his adopted son and daughter. This aunt was none other than the aunt who was in charge of taking care of them in the mansion, and she was Gu Tingzhi's sister. It turned out that the adopted son and daughter were actually the children of Gu Tingzhi and Bai Yueguang.

However, she and Gu Tingzhi had already been engaged, and the Marquis' Mansion would never let a female doctor be the mistress of the mansion. Medical girl Wen Wan married even though she knew she was pregnant. In the end, she was nailed to death by the door for adultery. Fortunately, the child was rescued by a trusted maid and sent to the Marquis' Mansion.

The adopted son and daughter were certain that it was Pei Jiuniang who was responsible for the tragic death of their biological mother, so they transferred all their hatred onto Pei Jiuniang and endured it for many years until they achieved their wish before taking revenge.

Not long after her death, her biological son Gu Yu was also killed.

Thinking of her past life, Pei Jiuniang covered her heart with her hands and couldn't stop crying.

Seeing that Pei Jiuniang had been silent, Madam Liu's tone became heavier, "Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Brother Yu is also my grandson. Back then... forget it, it's all in the past. Speaking of which, Brother Yu is really a pitiful child. I am also thinking about you and Brother Yu. These two children are about the same age as Brother Yu. If they come, Brother Yu will have a companion.

To take a step back, if Brother Yu cannot inherit the title, Xijue... after all, you raised her, and if you take good care of her, she would be no different from your own child. Could it be that the side branch is taking advantage of her? In my opinion, you should talk to Nanny Zhu carefully.

If you have thought it through, I will have someone bring Xijue and Yuzhi here. They are both good kids, and I guarantee you will like them once you see them."

Liu's words were very convincing and it was obvious that she had thought carefully about them. Pei Jiuniang knew that this matter could not be avoided.

What's more, she doesn't want to let go of the person who harmed her and her son in the previous life in this life.

Always keep it under your nose.

So when Liu's face looked worse and worse, Pei Jiuniang finally relented.

"Then bring it here for me to take a look. If it's really as good as mother-in-law said, I'll stay."

"You agree? That's great. Don't worry, I promise you that they are all good kids. Well, since you have agreed, you should quickly have someone clean up. Do you have an unused main house in your yard? It's best to have one facing the sun and with a larger space. Also, clean the house thoroughly inside and out and replace all the items with new ones.

By the way, I remember there were some nice furniture items in your dowry..."

As Liu spoke, she looked at Pei Jiuniang with joy, waiting for her to respond. However, Pei Jiuniang smiled faintly and turned away, saying perfunctorily, "The rooms in my yard are all piled with things. Besides, the child and I are not familiar with each other. Living together all of a sudden..."

"It's because we're not familiar with each other that we should live together. It's a good opportunity to cultivate our relationship. Okay, don't refuse. I'll have someone send the baby's supplies to you."

As Liu spoke, her face looked very bad. If it had been before, Pei Jiuniang would have definitely carefully figured it out, and then followed her wishes, using the cover of a private vault to open it and let her move. But this time, Liu's face darkened several shades, and Pei Jiuniang never gave in.

After all this, Liu was filled with resentment, but it was not easy to vent it at this critical moment. Finally, she said, "After all, he is a child of the family. His parents are gone, and he came to us for refuge. Since we have agreed to take him in, we cannot let anyone find fault with him. You are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and I trust you to do your job."

Having said that, he stood up and walked away with a dark face. Before leaving, he glared at Pei Jiuniang several times with some displeasure.
