When Shen Yuyan saw someone stopping the officers from taking her away, she thought they were there to save her, and looked at them with hope in her eyes. However, as soon as they opened their mouths, she was completely despaired.

"This prisoner? He hasn't paid for today's banquet yet, a total of 1,500 taels."

The steward fiddled with the golden abacus while handing the bill to Shen Yuyan.

Shen Yuyan's face changed several times, and finally blurted out, "If you need money, go find Pei Jiuniang, why are you looking for me?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It was all Pei Jiuniang's fault that she ended up in this situation. Even if she became a ghost, she would not let her go.

"You mean the Marquis' wife? But weren't you the one who hosted the banquet?"

The manager spread his hands and looked at Shen Yuyan leisurely.

Shen Yuyan was irritated by the contempt in his eyes. If there were no officers around, she would have gone crazy on the spot. But even with the shackles, she still looked fearless, "Anyway, I don't have any, you can find whoever you want."

She originally planned to let Pei Jiuniang pay the money.

Since she was going to marry into the Xie family, she reluctantly gave Pei Jiuniang a chance to curry favor with them.

But he didn't expect that in the end he would not only lose face, but also be charged with treason and treason.

Something she hadn't done. She wouldn't admit to it.

Even if she was sentenced to beheading, he would curse Pei Jiuniang every day.

"No?"

The steward looked at Shen Yuyan's rogue attitude, but he was not anxious. Instead, he looked her up and down.

Because of the banquet held today, in order to be in the limelight, Shen Yuyan put on all the jewelry that could be shown. The main point was that she looked noble and wore the moonlight brocade worth thousands of gold that she bought with the money from selling the Shen family's ancestral home.

With an idea in mind, the steward bowed to the officer and then ordered his men to strip Shen Yuyan of all her valuables.

Shen Yuyan screamed and tried to dodge, but to no avail.

In the end, it was stripped into a hairless swallow.

Seeing this, Shen, who had been following Shen Yuyan, rushed forward like crazy, trying to shake off those who were touching Shen Yuyan. However, she was pushed away before she could rush forward.

She was stunned.

She looked at these people in disbelief, they actually dared to push her.

At this time, Pei's father and the new lady came over and stopped in front of her. The new lady glanced at Shen, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and shook her head.

Shen just felt that she was humiliated.

She looked at Pei's father, but he didn't even look at her and just helped his new wife leave.

She stammered as she watched her former husband help his new wife away.

And those who yelled at her and beat her were still respectful to them.

She couldn't hold it in any longer. "Why, why is this happening?"

She just wanted her daughter, whom she had disliked since childhood, to be more obedient and take better care of her mother, the Shen family. Why did it end up like this?

at the same time.

Gu Tingzhi also heard about the Xie family and Shen Yuyan, and also learned that Xie Yuzhou loved Pei Jiuniang. He was stunned for a moment.

He knew Xie Yuzhou. He was a talented man who had attracted countless noble ladies in the capital. Even Gu Lanzhi was fascinated by him. It was said that the princess had also taken a fancy to him. His Majesty had even intended to arrange a marriage for them. Unfortunately, Xie Yuzhou already had someone he loved.

During that time, countless noble ladies were secretly heartbroken, and a storyteller even speculated who was the person that Xie Yuzhou fell in love with.

Some said it was Princess Qingcheng, the most beautiful woman in the capital, while others said it was Liu Ruyi, the legitimate daughter of the Imperial Household, who was known as the most talented woman in the capital. There were many different opinions.

Later, Xie Yuzhou missed the imperial examination. After that, it was heard that he was ill, locked himself at home and refused to see visitors.

But he never expected that the reason for the decadence of the other talented man was that he was seduced and plotted against by someone in the name of someone else, and fell in love with a woman, thinking about her day and night, but could not get her, so he lost his fighting spirit.

Many people have been talking about this matter recently, and Gu Tingzhi even heard the soldiers talking about it in the Jingji camp.

He coughed.

When the other party saw it was him, he quickly shut his mouth.

He walked over with a sullen face, but someone who was blind actually said to him, "General, the madam doesn't know anything, but the talented Xie has been decadent for many years without knowing it, which shows that the madam is infinitely charming. General, you have won the beauty from the hands of a great talent, and you really bring honor to our military generals."

The other party was busy complimenting him but didn't notice that Gu Tingzhi's face was not looking good.

He didn't mind that Pei Jiuniang was involved in these things for no reason.

But after she found out that someone was seducing her in her name, she didn't tell him, but conspired with the Xie family in private.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingzhi made special arrangements, left the Jingji camp, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Any little news in the capital would be widely spread.

Especially after being spread by storytellers and those idle ladies who like to gossip, the rumors became more and more outrageous in a few days.

Even Liu heard about it.

She immediately flew into a rage, "You little bitch, you dare to cheat on me, I'm not going to..."

The nanny who was passing on the news hurriedly advised, "Old Madam, you heard it wrong. She is not having an affair. It is that Mr. Xie who has taken a fancy to her. He has wasted many years because of her. It seems that our Madam is not aware of it."

"What? Longing for her? Is she worthy of it?!"

Liu looked down on Pei Jiuniang. The reason why she insisted on letting Gu Tingzhi marry Pei Jiuniang was, firstly, that she was a concubine who was promoted to a legal wife, and many people laughed at her. But she insisted on marrying a learned daughter of the main wife to Gu Tingzhi as his wife. Secondly, she thought Pei Jiuniang was gentle and easy to control. But who could have thought?

The third and most important point is that she heard people say that if the eldest son marries a good woman, the second son can take advantage of the eldest son's good marriage and marry a better one.

But she didn't expect that after helping Gu Tingzhi marry Pei Jiuniang for so many years, Gu Yanzhi still had no marriage.

Thinking of this, Liu felt that all this was caused by Pei Jiuniang.

I couldn't help but scold her for no reason again.

Wen Rong, who had been serving her recently, had a hint of doubt in her heart.

She always felt that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, since she is a time-traveling girl, she should be the protagonist of this world. Even though she failed to completely win over Gu Tingzhi as Wen Wan at the beginning, she has now traveled through time for the second time, and logically, she should be doing well in this world.

Just like the heroines in the novels she had read before, she had achieved success in both career and love.

But she suffered setbacks in her career time and time again, and now, she has given up completely.

In love, the man she liked, Gu Tingzhi, kept his distance from her.

Her painstakingly planned plans of saving the beauty and pledge of love were easily resolved by him.

And she could only watch his relationship with Pei Jiuniang turn around.

wrong.

Something must have gone wrong.

Could it be that Pei Jiuniang also traveled through time?

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

Pei Jiuniang's every word and action are just like those of people in this world.

There is no way he could have traveled through time.

But no matter what, Pei Jiuniang seemed to be more and more like the protagonist of this world than her.

It is said that she opened many shops and they were all very profitable.

She also entered the Imperial College as a teacher and was awarded the sixth-rank official title. She even saved the original cannon fodder Chu Mingyue and became her close friend. She even tore apart the evil mother-in-law and punched her sister-in-law. It was time for her to get rid of her blood-sucking family. Now, she is being remembered by more and more good men.

She really felt more and more that Pei Jiuniang was her nemesis.

It seemed as if all his luck had been sucked away by Pei Jiuniang.

Suddenly, Wen Rong seemed to understand something.

Correct.

It must be so.

These were supposed to belong to her, but Pei Jiuniang took them away from her.

It seems that the source of all this was that the fool Gu Yu became smart.

Therefore, if she wants to change and take back everything, she must let her child completely dominate Gu Yu.

She had seen many children like Gu Yu before. They were very smart, but they could easily go to extremes. Once they were provoked, they would lose control.

She knew how much Pei Jiuniang cared about Gu Yu. As long as something happened to Gu Yu, Pei Jiuniang would be flustered, and all the good luck would naturally come back to her.
