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

At the same time, Wen Rong, who was tied up and fell on the cliff like a dumpling, finally saw Gu Tingzhi who came late.

She had suffered a lot for this moment.

Fortunately, he came after all.

Having rehearsed countless times before, she began to perform with ease, big tears rolling down her eyes. She tried hard to spit out the cloth stuck in her throat and shouted hysterically at Gu Tingzhi, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please leave quickly and don't worry about me."

Hearing this, Gu Tingzhi's face turned a little ugly. He was about to open his mouth to tell her to stop shouting, but the person in charge of guarding Wen Rong began to sneer, "Finally you're here. If you had come a little later, you would have seen a corpse."

"What do you want?"

Gu Tingzhi frowned and looked at the few bandits. Now he had relaxed.

I just hope it’s not Jiu Niang and Yu Ge.

But even if it was Wen Rong, he couldn't just ignore it.

After all, he is responsible for protecting the safety of the capital, and Wen Rong is also a citizen of the Celestial Empire.

Moreover, he would never allow someone to do such a thing under the emperor's feet.

"One thousand taels of gold, not even one tael less, otherwise, what you see is..."

Before he could finish his words, two arrows were shot out and several bandits fell to the ground.

The splattered blood splashed on Wen Rong's face, making her heart jump with fear.

When I came to my senses, I felt disappointed again.

She had hired these few beggars with great difficulty, just to put on a show and make Gu Tingzhi pay the ransom.

Unexpectedly, he was killed before he could finish his words.

But I have to say that Gu Tingzhi, wearing armor and riding on a tall horse, is truly heroic and extraordinary.

The scene just now was deeply engraved in Wen Rong's mind, and her heart was pounding non-stop.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tingzhi only glanced at her and was about to leave. She hurriedly shouted, "Brother-in-law..."

Wen Wan, Gu Tingzhi frowned and glanced back at her, scolding her lightly, "Don't yell."

"Can…"

Wen Rong bit her lip and tried her best to show her pitiful side. She remembered someone saying that men all fall for this.

But Gu Tingzhi didn't even look at it and just left.

And she was eventually rescued by Gu Tingzhi's deputy.

Because she had been hung for so long, her legs were numb and she couldn't walk at all.

The deputy kindly offered her a ride, but she refused.

"Don't you know that men and women can't be intimate with each other?"

Hearing this, the deputy felt helpless.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to give Wen Rong a horse.

Wen Rong wished she could eat his flesh alive.

But in the end, he had to ride his horse back to the military camp.

Gu Tingzhi saw that she looked a little unhappy, but Wen Rong acted as if she didn't see it at all and continued to be very attentive to him.

"Sister, General, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life..."

"you can go now."

Gu Tingzhi left after saying this.

He has never forgotten his previous contact with her, and both Brother Yu and Pei Jiuniang reacted strongly.

And there was that dream, in which Wen Rong deceived him.

After that, he would no longer have any good feelings towards Wen Rong.

Wen Rong was somewhat helpless and could only desperately tell herself that Gu Tingzhi was such a person.

But no matter what, it is a fact that Gu Tingzhi saved her, and she really had nowhere to go.

Her inventions had already been made by others.

She thought there must be other time travelers in this world.

And that person should be much more powerful than her.

Since being independent doesn't work, she might as well become a dodder as soon as possible.

Anyway, the two children are also in the house.

The grace of saving a life and repaying it with one's own life have always been the unchanging topic.

Thinking of this, she knelt down, tears streaming down her face, "General, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. I have nothing, but I am willing to serve you as your slave."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked at Wen Rong as if she were an idiot.

She gritted her teeth secretly, and finally kowtowed to Gu Tingzhi a few times, then got up and left.

And Wen Rong knows how to achieve her goal.

She knew that with Gu Tingzhi's personality, he might not agree even if she offered to marry him.

The only thing he can take advantage of is softness of heart.

If you want him to be soft-hearted, you have to put yourself in a weak position.

Just like back then, when she was still gentle and went to find him alone, her reputation was damaged, and he softened his heart and promised to be responsible for her.

Now, she used public opinion to let everyone know that Gu Tingzhi saved her. She panicked and threw herself into his arms. In addition, he and Wen Wan were not destined to be together back then. Whether it was out of pity or other reasons, based on her understanding of Gu Tingzhi, he would definitely surrender.

Thinking of this, she returned to the capital and gave her little money to a few storytellers, asking them to publicize the incident.

A few days later, she deliberately put on haggard makeup and went to the marquis's mansion in a sad and gentle manner.

She often went to the Marquis' Mansion to give Liu a head massage. Everyone in the mansion knew her and they knew she was full of energy every time they called her. But when they saw her like this today, they were shocked and hurriedly asked what had happened.

Wen Rong held the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes from time to time, "No, nothing..."

"Miss Wen, are you okay?"

The other nanny felt really sorry for her when she saw that she looked like she was about to faint at any moment.

"No, it's okay. Is my aunt here? I want to see her."

Wen Rong is usually nice to people in the mansion, especially those around Liu, so everyone is willing to help her now.

Soon she was supported and brought to Liu's side.

Similar to her, Liu, who originally looked wealthy, had sunken cheeks and looked like she had lost her energy. Seeing Wen Rong like this, she couldn't help but ask, "You, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Liu frowned as she spoke, she had really had enough of the hardship of being a housekeeper recently. She used to think that being a housekeeper was nothing, seeing Pei Jiuniang just sitting in the yard looking at the account books every day, but she didn't expect it to be so tiring. There were too many things to manage every day, and the housekeepers in the mansion had been replaced several times, but it was still useless.

She wanted to ask Pei Jiuniang for help several times, but she was either in poor health or busy. Now she had an additional sixth-rank official position and was a teacher in the Imperial College, which was granted by His Majesty, so she would never agree.

Yan Zhi's marriage has not been decided yet. If he can get married as soon as possible, he can help her.

Now when she saw Wen Rong, her eyes lit up.

Wen Rong is his niece after all. Although her family background is not good, she has always been close to him. It would be better to let her be Yan Zhi's concubine.

But looking at Wen Rong's dead look, she didn't dare to think about what would happen if Yan Zhi was scared.

Wen Rong had no idea of ​​the twists and turns in Liu's mind.

She thought for a moment, then knelt down in front of Liu.

"Aunt, I, I don't know why such a rumor would spread outside. I was kidnapped at the time, and the other party said that if I didn't have money, they would take my life. I could only think of my cousin, but I didn't expect it to spread so widely. My reputation is about to be ruined. What should I do?"

Wen Rong's words completely confused Liu.

"What did you say?"

"Aunt, I..."

Wen Rong was also a little confused. The news had spread like wildfire outside, so how come Liu and the people around her seemed to be still unaware of it?
