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

After breakfast, Pei Jiuniang prepared to take Yu Ge out to buy some fabric to make clothes.

Last night, she noticed that Brother Yu's clothes didn't fit well. The outer ones were still acceptable, but the inner ones were a lot shorter. The material was even hard, the kind that servants in the mansion wouldn't use. It felt hard and uncomfortable to wear.

It goes without saying that it was the money that was deducted from those who served Brother Yu before.

It is not surprising that people in the mansion enrich themselves and act insincerely. She has always adhered to the principle that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Since she took charge of the household expenses, she has been strict where it should be tight and loose where it should be loose. She has both killed chickens to scare monkeys and given reasonable punishments. She also turned a blind eye to those servants who worked hard but were greedy for small gains.

But no one will be allowed to overstep their authority, let alone deduct money. No, this is no longer deducting money.

Whenever she saw Brother Yu's skin turning red from being rubbed by the rough cloth, and even breaking in some places, she would tremble with anger.

As soon as the incident was discovered last night, we ordered a thorough investigation.

After the meal, the people below came to report that they had all confessed. She temporarily handed Brother Yu over to Caifeng and went to meet the old mother who had been responsible for taking care of Brother Yu before.

As soon as they met, the old lady started to kowtow, and soon blood was flowing from her forehead. She kept saying that she was "blinded by greed" and even thought about returning to serve Brother Yu to atone her sins. Pei Jiuniang was so angry that she had him beaten half to death, and her husband's children and grandchildren were sold off together.

All of their family members are slaves born in the house, and the power of life and death is in her hands.

"Whoever dares to do this again will be severely punished. This is the lesson."

Pei Jiuniang's words were so powerful that they struck heavily on the hearts of every servant in the Marquis' Mansion. She wanted to tell everyone that no one could bully her brother Yu.

After finishing the matter, she asked Caifeng to take Brother Yu out of the house.

Brother Yu seldom leaves the house and spends most of his time in his own small courtyard.

His mother and servants used to be afraid that he would run away, so they would scare him, "There are kidnappers everywhere, and if you go out, you will be sold by kidnappers."

That’s why Brother Yu has always been very resistant.

Caifeng talked to him for a long time, but Brother Yu didn't believe it.

Finally, Pei Jiuniang held the trembling Yu Ge in her arms and swore again and again, "I am the mother, and I swear that I will take Yu Ge out for a walk, buy him new clothes and shoes, and lots of delicious food."

Perhaps the delicious food made Brother Yu relax a little. He stared at Pei Jiuniang's eyebrows with his black and white eyes, and nodded hesitantly for a long time.

Pei Jiuniang smiled and scratched Yu Ge's nose, then took Yu Ge's hand and walked out.

As expected, Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi appeared on their way again.

As if she couldn't see the disgust on Pei Jiuniang's face, Gu Yuzhi smiled sweetly at her and pretended to speak timidly.

"Ma'am, where are you going? Are you going out of the house? My brother and I would like to go with our brother, is that ok?"

As Gu Yuzhi spoke, she took the initiative to walk up to Brother Yu and pretended to hold his hand, but the next second, Brother Yu dodged her.

Gu Yuzhi was still a child after all, her expression changed instantly, and she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes in time.

Even though she was prepared, Pei Jiuniang was still secretly surprised when she saw such strong disgust in Gu Yuzhi's eyes.

There is no hatred without reason, and no dislike without reason.

She knew someone must have said something to them.

There is no need to guess who this person is.

It was just that she was a little curious, so logically she should show up.

"Ma'am, we can help my brother get his things."

After being pulled by Gu Xijue, Gu Yuzhi regained her innocent look and continued to maintain a sweet fake smile.

"No need, we don't lack servants."

Pei Jiuniang did not hide her dislike for them. After she finished speaking, she picked up Brother Yu and walked past them.

Brother Yu was lying on Pei Jiuniang's shoulder, and he unexpectedly made eye contact with Gu Xijue. He happened to see Gu Xijue's red face and angry look, and he was so scared that he quickly retracted his head.

"Brother Yu? What's wrong?"

Noticing Yu Ge's strange behavior, Pei Jiuniang looked back and happened to see Gu Xijue waving at them.

"Madam, take care, brother. We will go with you next time."

Pei Jiuniang still couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Even Cai Feng at the side couldn't stand it any longer, "Madam, these two kids are too cunning, and what exactly do they want to do?!"

"Yeah? What do you want to do?!"

Pei Jiuniang repeated the sentence, but her thoughts drifted far away.

In her previous life, she was deceived by them as soon as they met. She was open-hearted to them but never realized they were so persistent. Now that she thought about it, their purpose couldn't be more obvious.

In their eyes, everything in the Marquis' Mansion originally belonged to them, and it was she and her brother Yu who blocked their way.

But they clearly got everything, so why did they kill them all?

She was kept in the dark her whole life, and watched her work like a fool, raising children for her enemy, not only mistreating her own son, but also causing so much suffering to Brother Yu.

Whenever she thought of this, Pei Jiuniang was filled with hatred.

Perhaps her expression was too scary and frightened Brother Yu in her arms. After she realized it, she quickly calmed herself down and introduced the things on the street to Brother Yu in a soft voice.

Brother Yu didn't say anything, but he listened very carefully. Sometimes she was afraid that she spoke too fast and Brother Yu couldn't hear clearly, so she would say it twice. At this time, Brother Yu would frown, and she realized that her Brother Yu was really a very smart child.

Brother Yu seldom came out, and it could even be said that he had hardly ever come out. Even when other families invited him to banquets and he was allowed to bring his child, Liu refused on the grounds that Brother Yu could not speak and people might think that the Marquis's family had given birth to a fool. She could not bear to make Liu feel embarrassed, so she always went alone.

But seeing Brother Yu like this, she really regretted it.

She also suspected that Yu Ge's silence might be related to the fact that his well-educated mother and servant rarely talked to him.

When he saw something strange, Brother Yu would break free from her arms, put his hands on the curtain, and look out attentively.

Pei Jiuniang was curious, so she looked in the direction his eyes followed, and told him with a smile what a fighter did.

After hearing this, Brother Yu’s face turned red and his eyes were particularly bright.

Every time this happened, Pei Jiuniang hated herself for knowing too little.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the market town.

Pei Jiuniang first took Brother Yu to buy cloth, and then took him to a garment store to measure Brother Yu's size. There were four sets of inner clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and in preparation for Brother Yu's growth, some more size was added to the original size, still four sets for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the same was true for outer clothes.

Because Brother Yu's current clothes don't fit him well, Pei Jiuniang decided to pick out some more.

Seeing that Brother Yu was not interested, she pulled him aside and asked him in person, "Brother Yu, do you like it?"

Brother Yu still didn't say anything, but nodded, but his eyes didn't seem to be on the things inside at all.

The store owner came to ask, Pei Jiuniang was a little distracted, and Yu Ge took the opportunity to break free from her and run away.

Pei Jiuniang hurriedly chased out and finally caught up with Yu Ge in front of a stationery store.

"Brother Yu? Why are you running around? What if you get hit?!"

Pei Jiuniang felt a little scared, because she had known a child from an official family who was running around on the road and was hit by a carriage and flew away.

She hasn't made amends to her brother Yu yet.

Brother Yu glanced at her, but just a glance, and continued to stare at the piece of ink in the stationery store.

"Brother Yu? You?!"

"Okay, it smells good."

Brother Yu took a deep breath, his little nose wrinkled, and he spoke in a very small voice, so small that Pei Jiuniang thought she had heard it wrong, but she knew she had definitely not heard it wrong.

It was her brother Yu who spoke just now, and he said it smelled good.

"What? What kind of fragrance?!"

Pei Jiuniang was so happy that it took her a while before she remembered to look around for several times, but she didn't see any shop selling cakes or other food. Then she looked at Brother Yu, and his eyes were still fixed on Fang Mo.

and many more.

Could it be that?

"Brother Yu, tell mother, do you think that thing smells good?" Pei Jiuniang pulled Brother Yu into the stationery store and took the ink and gave it to Brother Yu.

Brother Yu closed his eyes happily, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and nodded heavily at Pei Jiuniang.

Pei Jiuniang cried with joy and hugged Yu Ge in her arms.

"It turns out to be you, my brother Yu."

She remembered that the reason why she was able to invite the great scholar to marry Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi in her previous life was because Gu Yuzhi said at a banquet that Gu Xijue could smell the scent of ink. At that time, she thought Gu Yuzhi was lying. Later, the great scholar came to the Marquis' Mansion out of admiration for Gu Xijue, met Gu Xijue in person, and examined Gu Xijue's knowledge, so he decided to stay in the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

At that time, she felt that Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, brother and sister, were simply treasures bestowed by God to the Marquis' Mansion.

But she didn't expect that all of this was stolen from her brother Yu.

It turns out that they have been sucking blood from the mother and daughter all their lives.

She would never allow this to happen again.

No one can take away her brother Yu's things.

Thinking of this, she gave Brother Yu a hard kiss on the forehead, and then said to the shop owner.

"Wrap up this ink."

"Really? This piece is not good..."

"My son said he could smell the fragrance of this ink, so if I ask you to wrap it, then wrap it up."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then with trembling hands, he took the dusty ink himself, wrapped it up, and handed it to Pei Jiuniang.

As he said this, he looked at Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge again, and saw that they got on the carriage with the emblem of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, so he hurried to the backyard of the shop.
