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

Second Aunt didn't think it was a problem at all. She glared at Yan's mother fiercely, then stared at Chu Mingyue with a wandering look.

Chu Mingyue took out three taels of silver from her bag and gave it to her.

Second Aunt stared at the bundle in Chu Mingyue's hand. Seeing Chu Mingyue holding the bundle tightly, she turned away angrily, and finally looked at Rulan's magic spear beside her. She rolled her eyes and came up with another idea, "It's not easy for a woman like you to take care of a child. Rulan, after all..."

"Rulan is my daughter. I will take her with me. If Second Aunt changes her mind, I can also find someone else."

When these words were spoken, several people's eyes lit up. Three taels, it's impossible to save three taels in a year.

Second Aunt was not happy and said hurriedly, "What are you talking about? We are a family. As the saying goes, fat water makes water... I mean, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your eldest sister-in-law. Don't worry, when you come next time, I will make sure you are plump and white."

As she spoke, Second Aunt was already thinking about how to make Yan's mother fat.

As if he was afraid that Chu Mingyue would go back on her word, he quickly raised his hand and asked her to leave quickly so as not to make the nobleman wait anxiously.

Pei Jiuniang, Chu Mingyue and their group returned to Kyoto.

The two of them didn't talk much on the way, they just closed their eyes and rested.

However, the little girl Rulan was watching all the way, lifting the curtain to look out from time to time. The little girl chattered all the way and ignored the questions.

Chu Mingyue was afraid of disturbing Pei Jiuniang, so she reminded her to be quiet.

Rulan agreed readily, but still couldn't help asking again.

Pei Jiuniang found it interesting, so she woke up and talked to her patiently.

With the little girl around, she and Chu Mingyue became familiar with each other.

As they are all mothers, it is natural for the conversation to revolve around their children.

Chu Mingyue vaguely remembered hearing Gu Lanzhi mention Pei Jiuniang's child, saying that the child seemed to be barely able to speak at the age of five, and also that the child was mentally retarded.

But Chu Mingyue didn't think so. She felt that the child was probably afraid of strangers and didn't want to speak. She wanted her daughter Rulan to have more contact. Her daughter had endless things to say all day and maybe she could influence the child. But she didn't know how to start the conversation. She was afraid that if she mentioned it rashly, it would make Pei Jiuniang unhappy, so she went around in her mind and finally didn't mention it.

When they were approaching the capital, Rulan suddenly became depressed. She was thinking about something and felt a little confused.

Suddenly, I had an impulse and followed him back to Beijing.

If I visit without any hesitation, I'm afraid my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law will be missing...

And Gu Lanzhi will definitely say something unpleasant again.

And there is Brother Zhou, the son of her eldest brother, who was taught to be lawless and bullies Rulan all day long. His parents, brothers and sister-in-law spoil him.

"What's wrong? Not happy?"

Pei Jiuniang looked at Rulan's bright little face, and her smile suddenly disappeared. She became curious and couldn't help asking.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid..."

"afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid my cousin will beat me again."

Thinking of something, Rulan trembled all over and tears welled up in her eyes.

Pei Jiuniang also understood that it seemed that the little girl had been bullied by Chu Xingzhou a long time ago. Seeing this, she quickly called Rulan to her side, held her on her lap, and wiped her while speaking.

"Don't worry, we won't go to grandpa's house..."

As she spoke, Pei Jiuniang looked up at Chu Mingyue who was looking at her, and said, "It's getting late today, why don't you come with me to the Marquis' Mansion to rest? I have a son who is a bit of a taciturn person, so let him have some contact with Ruland, what do you think?"

"Isn't that too annoying?"

Chu Mingyue doesn't have to worry about bothering others.

"I have many houses in my yard, it's not a problem, and my brother Yu doesn't have a sister yet."

Pei Jiuniang resisted the urge to arrange marriages for her two children. After all, there were rumors that her brother Yu was a fool.

She was afraid that Chu Mingyue thought so too.

Ugh.

"Does the lady have a little brother?"

Rulan vaguely remembered that her aunt seemed to have mentioned it and said that she was a fool, but she didn't like it, so she didn't think so. After all, her aunt called her a little bitch in private and said that she was so young and yet she was hooking up with Brother Zhou.

She didn't, it was Brother Zhou who deliberately pulled her and bullied her.

She hates Brother Zhou and her aunt.

"Yes, there is a little brother. Let's go and see him, okay?"

"it is good."

Rulan agreed immediately.

Pei Jiuniang advised Chu Mingyue a few more times, and Chu Mingyue did not refuse again. She just asked, when can she go to the Imperial College?

"anytime."

Pei Jiuniang said.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Chu Mingyue was respectful and polite to Pei Jiuniang, "Thank you for troubling me, Madam."

She knew that if she could really go to the Imperial College, the Imperial College would arrange a house for her. She didn't ask for much, as long as she and Rulan could live there. Thinking of Rulan, she thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Madam, since the Imperial College recruits female teachers, can women also enroll?"

As she said this, she shook her head again. Even if girls could enroll in school, how old was Rulan?

I really have a wild imagination.

"The Imperial College has an introductory class. You can bring Rulan with you. My brother Yu will also go. You can help take care of her for me."

Hearing this, Chu Mingyue felt relieved. If the other party had no requests, she would have felt uncomfortable. But when she heard that this was his intention, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.

That night, mother and son entered the marquis's mansion together.

Chu Mingyue originally thought that Brother Yu was a timid person who was afraid of seeing people, but she didn't expect him to be so delicate and well-behaved. Although he spoke slowly, there was no silly look between his brows.

He is clearly a very smart and well-educated kid.

Rulan also likes Brother Yu very much and calls him "Brother" sweetly.

Pei Jiuniang actually felt shy when she saw Brother Yu.

Her brother Yu, who was only five years old, blushed when he saw the four-year-old girl.

This is probably fate.

It was the first time she saw Brother Yu talk so much.

Even Caifeng and Cuiping said, "Madam is so amazing. She actually found such a good playmate for our brother. This little girl is so pretty. She is a perfect match for our brother Yu."

Chu Mingyue was also in the room at that time.

Pei Jiuniang was afraid that she would have some grudges, so she quickly winked at the two maids. Unexpectedly, Chu Mingyue quickly waved her hand and said, "I, Rulan, really don't dare to marry someone so high."

"How can you marry above your station? You are a female teacher of the Imperial College, and I, Pei Jiuniang, am just a merchant. I am still marrying above my station."

"this…"

Chu Mingyue was a little stunned, then she remembered that Gu Lanzhi said Pei Jiuniang liked to run a shop and she also brought a lot of jewelry to show off to her.

He doesn't think much of it, but he still takes a lot.

She had previously told her mother that it was not good for her eldest sister-in-law to do this, but her mother told her not to meddle in other people's business.
