In the past few days, Gu Tingzhi suddenly became extra nice to Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge. He was nice to them before, but in the past few days he was almost trying to please them cautiously.

This surprised both Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge.

But what is more embarrassing is embarrassment and helplessness.

In fact, they have already gotten used to being without him, but he insists on hanging around in front of them, which is really annoying.

the other side.

Wen Rong turned around and found Liu and told her about Gu Tingzhi's plan to return the two children. As expected, Liu became furious when she heard it and said bluntly that this was a plan to kill her.

"Aunt, how about I take a look?"

"Don't even think about it. These are the descendants of our Gu family. They can only stay in the Gu family. It must be what Pei Jiuniang said. Don't worry, whether they agree or not, these two children will not leave the Marquis' Mansion. I will have someone invite the elders of the Gu family, open an ancestral hall, and have the two children included in the family tree."

Hearing this, Wen Rong breathed a sigh of relief. At least the two burdens wouldn't have to be stuffed back in.

But she was also worried that this incident would make Gu Tingzhi unhappy.

"What are you afraid of? I'm her mother. It's not their turn to have the final say in this family."

Gu Tingzhi seems to be particularly free recently. He hangs around Pei Jiuniang and Gu Yu every day, which makes the two of them very annoyed.

Especially Gu Yu, who always felt that he was trying to snatch his mother away, so as soon as night came, he would hurriedly pull his mother back to the room and close the door tightly.

Then he curled up in Pei Jiuniang's arms, holding A Niang tightly with both hands before he stopped.

Lately he has started dreaming again.

This time he didn't dream about being bullied by Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, nor was it that his mother ignored him, but that Gu Tingzhi was always talking and laughing with another woman. He recognized her as the woman he saw when he was lying in the dog hole that day. He had seen her once before. She seemed to be the aunt of Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi.

Ever since having this dream, Gu Yu hated Gu Tingzhi even more, to the point where he pretended he didn't exist.

But the more he didn't want to see him, the more he had to show up, and he was always blind to his annoyance and gave him strange things all day long.

Well, he still likes the stuff.

this day.

Brother Yu is going to the Imperial College.

Pei Jiuniang was just about to send Gu Yu out when Gu Tingzhi hurried back from the morning court and said he would take them there.

He also took the initiative to ask Gu Yu if he wanted to ride a horse. Brother Yu turned around and grabbed Pei Jiuniang's hand and got into the carriage. It was obvious that she didn't want to pay attention to him, but he stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.

When getting off the carriage, he deliberately had someone hide the horse stool, and then carried him and his mother out of the carriage.

Mad.

Gu Yu rolled his eyes at him and glared at him.

But later he still hugged her.

Don't think that just because of this, he treats him as his father.

He is about to become someone else's father, he doesn't want a father like this.

Gu Yu and Pei Jiuniang walked in front, and Gu Tingzhi had no choice but to walk behind. Just as they were about to walk towards the Imperial College, they heard someone calling their names from behind. Turning around, they saw Wen Rong standing not far away, holding a thin little girl.

Seeing them turn around, Wen Rong pushed the girl to speed up her pace. When she was still a few meters away from them, she pushed Gu Yuzhi hard from behind, "Get down on your knees."

Gu Yuzhi knelt down while crying.

She cried, "Madam, I, I was tortured by the servants. They beat me, didn't give me food, didn't give me clothes. I know it was all your instructions. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

As she spoke, Gu Yuzhi began to kowtow to Pei Jiuniang.

Soon, many people gathered around.

Seeing Pei Jiuniang, he hurriedly asked, "Madam Gu Hou, what's going on?"

Before Pei Jiuniang could say anything, Wen Rong cried, "Madam, I know Yuzhi did something wrong. You can punish her in any way you want, but she already knows she is wrong. Can you please forgive her this time because she is still young?

She really knew she was wrong.”

Wen Rong said this and took the initiative to walk over and reveal the blue and red scars on Gu Yuzhi's body, which was shocking.

For a moment, there was a sound of gasps.

Someone also recognized Gu Yuzhi, "I remember this little girl. Isn't she the adopted daughter of the Marquis' Mansion? Oh, the little girl was still fair and clean the last time I saw her. How come she has become like this in such a short time?"

Hearing this, some people couldn't help but feel pity.

Seeing that more and more people began to look at Pei Jiuniang with prejudice, she didn't want to bear the blame for nothing.

"First of all, I had no idea she was being tortured, and secondly, it had nothing to do with me."

"I know it has nothing to do with Madam, but Madam doesn't like Yuzhi, so the people below will naturally act according to the master's wishes."

The implication is that it was you who instructed it.

More people started talking.

Brother Yu was getting anxious and was about to charge with his fists clenched, but was held back by Pei Jiuniang. She knew that Brother Yu was no match for them yet.

"I admit that I don't like her. After all, she has hurt my brother Yu more than once. Why do I like her? Are you curious about what she did to be punished?"

Pei Jiuniang glanced at Wen Rong and Gu Yuzhi with a smile, and was about to speak when Wen Rong stopped her.

"She is still a child. Even if she made a mistake, shouldn't she be given a chance? Besides, her father and mother have both saved the Marquis."

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at Gu Tingzhi again.

Gu Tingzhi originally hated Wen Rong because of the dream. She always thought that Wen Rong was a kind person like Wen Wan. She didn't expect that Wen Rong was so scheming. She looked harmless, but in fact, she was as vicious as a snake.

"Gu Huan did save me, but I also saved him. Wen Wan said she saved me, but I could have survived even without her. On the contrary, I had to carry her to the camp. Because of this, my wound was not bandaged and treated for two days later."

Gu Tingzhi touched his right shoulder. If not for this, his shoulder wouldn't feel so sore when it rained.

"My Lord, you? How could you?"

Wen Rong was confused. She, she remembered that when she found Gu Tingzhi, he was indeed awake. But when she said she saved him, he denied it. Why did he say it now in front of so many people?

Doesn't he know that what he said would embarrass her? !

Wen Rong's eyes turned red, and she looked at Gu Tingzhi hesitantly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
