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

While Wen Rong and Liu were stunned, Pei Jiuniang took her people and left.

Although she had known for a long time that Wen Rong and Gu Tingzhi would be together, she still felt uncomfortable.

Maybe Gu Tingzhi has been acting abnormally to please them mother and son recently, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

She remembered that he had sent someone to inform her that day that something happened in the camp and he could not come back for the time being.

She actually believed it at that time.

I didn't expect that the so-called "something" would actually mean going to be a hero to save a damsel in distress.

Although Wen Rong didn't describe it in detail, she still imagined a picture of a couple in love, which was really magnificent.

In fact, if he had directly said that he was going to save people, she would not have said anything, and she even used the excuse of having official business to brush it off.

It's really ridiculous.

At the same time, Gu Tingzhi had a rare day off. On the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, he remembered that Pei Jiuniang always dressed plainly. For some reason, he always felt that he should give her something. He stopped in front of the Treasure Pavilion and dismounted. For the first time, he actually took the trouble to buy something for a woman.

The shopkeeper saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor and received him respectfully. He asked him who the medicine was for and how old he was, and then selected some for him.

He fell in love with a ruby ​​headdress at first sight, paid for it, and carefully put it in a box. Then he passed by Ruyizhai, remembered that Brother Yu liked to eat fruit, and bought some for him. Then he returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

He himself was a little surprised.

He is not a careful person and sometimes he doesn't even remember his own affairs.

At some point, he seemed to have started paying attention to her and the child.

When they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Brother Yu was playing with Xiaobai. He waved at him from afar, but when Brother Yu saw him, he turned his little face away. He understood that Brother Yu was disgusted with him for breaking his promise to take him horseback hunting, so he patiently explained and took out the freshly baked fruit snacks he had bought and gave them to him. Although Brother Yu was still a little unhappy, he seemed to be much better.

He still had a few left and quietly walked up to Pei Jiuniang, intending to feed them to her, but she pushed the fruit away and it fell directly to the ground, and the atmosphere became weird.

"My Lord, I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Pei Jiuniang frowned, and there was no warmth in her eyes.

Gu Tingzhi was confused.

He noticed that she was beginning to change again.

Every time there was progress between them, she would back off before he could come to his senses.

He was a little anxious, but he couldn't figure out why.

After thinking about it, the only possibility was that he broke his promise to accompany Brother Yu on horseback riding. He was about to explain, but was stopped by her words.

"My Lord, I have no objection to you taking a concubine, but, Wen Rong, I feel..."

"What did you say? What about taking a concubine? Pei Jiuniang, you..."

"My Lord, don't you know that you saved Wen Rong? Wen Rong came to your house on her own initiative and said that you two were hugging each other at that time. If she can't marry you, she will lose her innocence in this life."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingzhi was stunned.

He stammered, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to start for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Pei Jiuniang's heart stagnated. She thought he had nothing to say. A hint of sarcasm flashed across her face, and she continued to turn the pages. However, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't concentrate on the book in her hands at all.

But she didn't want to be noticed, so she kept concentrating on reading.

In fact, she was a little surprised at such a big change in herself.

After her rebirth, she had already made preparations to break off ties with Gu Tingzhi with Brother Yu.

But something seemed different about Gu Tingzhi.

Sometimes she even wondered if there might be some misunderstanding that led to them reaching that point in their previous life.

After all, he was indeed a man of few words, and she was not used to asking.

If so, she is not...

But at that moment, all the expectations in her heart disappeared.

My heart is filled with deep regret and helplessness.

Pei Jiuniang, Pei Jiuniang, you are so stupid.

I would actually be moved by other people's occasional kindness.

Just as she was trying hard to focus on the words in her hand, Gu Tingzhi finally figured out his voice.

"Nine Lady, that day I received a message from Feijian saying that they had someone very important to me in their hands. I thought it was your brother Yu, so I rushed over. When I arrived, I found out it was Wen Rong.

I didn't take action. It was the people around me who shot the gangster and saved Wen Rong.

Wen Rong did say that she was grateful to me for saving her and wanted to repay me, but at that time I was just glad that you were all okay, so I focused all my attention on the patrol, just wanting to finish it quickly so that I could go home to visit you and Brother Yu. If you don’t believe me…”

"You dare to swear to God?"

For some reason, Pei Jiuniang told herself not to listen to a word, but her ears still involuntarily listened to his explanation and analyzed it. She always felt that he would not lie.

"If I, Gu Tingzhi, tell a lie, let me die under the enemy's arrows."

Gu Tingzhi actually raised his hand and swore.

Pei Jiuniang felt a pain in her heart, and resisted the urge to stop him. Finally, she nodded expressionlessly, "Okay, I believe you."

"Really?"

Gu Tingzhi looked at her calm appearance, but he didn't feel relieved at all.

"Jiu Niang, if you really believe it, just accept this."

He hesitated and took out the box that he had been hiding behind him to give Pei Jiuniang a surprise, and handed it to Pei Jiuniang with both hands.

Pei Jiuniang took a quick glance at it and he immediately opened the box.

The moment she saw the dazzling ruby ​​headpiece inside, Pei Jiuniang's heart skipped a beat. She then raised her head and looked at Gu Tingzhi in disbelief. His eyes were full of anticipation, which made her heart suddenly beat wildly. Then, she turned her back.

"Jiu Niang, don't you like it?"

Gu Tingzhi was a little anxious. He didn't understand these things. They were recommended to him by the shopkeeper. He only thought that Jiu Niang might not like them.

"No, I prefer to keep it simple on weekdays."

Pei Jiuniang tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

"Then I'll pick out some silver hairpins for you next time. I just think that since this is the first time I give it to you, I'm afraid you'll think I'm reluctant to spend money on you."

There was a flattering smile on his face. It was surprising that such a cold-faced general could have such a side to him.

This was what Pei Jiuniang had been thinking about and begging for day and night in her previous life. She had prayed to God many times, asking him to care about her, but she was disappointed time and time again.

In this life, she no longer had any extravagant demands, but he had changed.

How ridiculous.

How ridiculous God's treatment of her was.

But she won't waver in her heart.

She can't afford to lose.

Although she didn't know why she was reborn, she knew that all this was not easy to come by. She would not gamble, and she couldn't afford to gamble.

She still has a lot of things to do. She has to take good care of Brother Yu and realize her unfinished dream.

No one can stop her.
