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

In order to live as long as possible, in addition to taking medicine, she also practices Wu Qin Xi every day.

At first she was a little restrained and couldn't let go, but later she got used to it.

Sometimes I am too busy to take care of it, and I feel empty inside.

That day, after dinner as usual, she practiced the Five Animal Exercises in the yard.

Brother Yu sometimes practices with her.

Young children's bodies are not fully grown yet, so they should be awkward when doing movements.

When she finished practicing, she found that Brother Yu had fallen asleep on the rattan chair at some point.

She hurriedly ordered the nanny to carry him into the house.

When I lowered my head, I saw the language that Brother Yu had written today. It was a little crooked, but much better than before.

There was another one on the side that was written particularly neatly.

Needless to say, we all know that it was Gu Xijue who had it brought there.

In order to prevent Liu from sending Gu Yuzhi here, she promised to get to know Gu Xijue.

However, after entering the Imperial College, he did not come here often.

Instead, he would often ask people to give her his written works, policy papers, and foreign languages ​​he had learned for her to comment on.

Pei Jiuniang really didn't understand what he was thinking at first, but later she realized that he probably wanted to prove to her that he was excellent and wanted to see regret on her face.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer.

He, who has been reborn, has to compare himself with Gu Yu, a five-year-old child. He even has the nerve to show off his presence in front of her. He has really made progress.

What does this have to do with her?

She marked "excellent" on his books as usual, then asked someone to take care of them, put Yu Ge's books in her school bag, and went to the bathroom.

After soaking in the bathroom for a while, she felt relaxed all over.

When I came out, I felt light and relaxed.

She returned to the house, washed herself, and began to apply some skin care products that were selling well in the shop recently. There were products specifically for application on the body, face, feet, and hair.

These were all Wen Rong's ideas in her previous life. She and the craftsmen worked together to slowly figure them out and finally came up with them.

She had always known that the formula was a very important matter, so in her previous life, she tried her best to participate in every process and memorized every step of the formula. However, she did not expect that her rebirth would save her a lot of trouble.

Thinking back to the last life, Wen Rong took all of these on herself, and relied on these things to mingle with the noble ladies and ladies in the capital. Even Liu would tell everyone she met, "My niece is not only capable, but also kind-hearted."

She meant that Wen Rong was open-minded and willing to work with her.

But now, she is not involved, and Wen Rong has been working hard on it, but what she produced is simply shit.

She had asked people to buy things made by Wen Rong. She was not completely stupid. She knew that it was a pity to find a craftsman because he did not have her financial resources and connections. Even if she could finally figure out a way to make the outer packaging look good, a low-quality product would still be a low-quality product.

In the end, it was still a discarded old shoe.

It is said that the woman who bought those things from him developed a rash on her face and had a big fight with him. Only then did he completely give up the idea and only thought about marrying Gu Tingzhi.

But in this life, I don’t know what’s going on between her and Gu Tingzhi, and there seems to be no progress.

Then we can no longer say that she was the one who stopped them, can we?

Pei Jiuniang thought about it and gently applied it on her body, hair and face.

She didn't know whether it was because her complexion had improved or because these things were working, but she actually felt that she seemed a lot younger.

Thinking about how a student had called her a girl before, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

She is not extremely beautiful, but her eyes and eyebrows are calm and gentle.

Her looks are very popular among the noble ladies in the capital.

Even if she had not been engaged to the Gu family, she would not have had trouble finding a husband.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiuniang wiped her hair bit by bit in front of the bronze mirror.

Her hair was now black and smooth, completely different from the dry, yellow and frizzy hair she had before she died in her previous life.

Although she didn't like Wen Rong, she felt that many of the things she said made sense.

"Women should be nicer to themselves."

In this life, she also had people say this to those noble ladies. It was said that those noble ladies always bought things from her shop.

After applying the medicine, she picked up the boiled medicine brought by the servant and drank it.

She never thought medicine was bitter before, but recently, for some reason, she couldn't stand the bitterness anymore. She drank it in one breath and hurriedly stuffed some sweet fruits into her mouth.

Then one piece was not enough, so he ate another one and kept eating like this.

When Gu Tingzhi came back, he saw her fresh, elegant and slightly naughty look. He stopped short of entering the house and heard her mutter to herself, "Brother Yu's teeth hurt if he eats too much sweets, so I ate them for him."

Looking at it, Gu Tingzhi unconsciously curved his eyes and mouth corners.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a fragrance that belonged only to her. He suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. Unable to wait any longer, he strode in and held her in his arms.

"you?!"

Pei Jiuniang was like a frightened bird, and was about to shout for help, but he covered her mouth from behind. He lowered his head slightly, and his hot breath sprayed on her head and neck, "It's me."

Of course she knew it was him.

After all, this is the marquis's mansion, and outsiders cannot come in casually.

But shouldn’t there be a tacit understanding between them that they should keep out of each other’s way?

Have they been like this since she was reborn?

She didn't understand what he was doing?!

Her nose wrinkled, and she could vaguely smell a faint smell of alcohol on him. She hurriedly said, "My Lord, you've drunk too much. I'll have someone help you go back and rest."

"No, Jiu Niang, don't push me out. At least, not at this moment."

There seemed to be some grievance in his voice, which made her slightly dazed.

She had never seen him like this before.

I instinctively felt that something had happened to him.

"My Lord, have you encountered a problem?"

She never asked about his official affairs. She only knew that although he led the troops well and won many battles in the northwest border, he was still feared by certain forces in the court.

Of course, if he doesn't want to come back, he can stay.

But he still came back and took charge of the Gyeonggi camp.

The Gyeonggi Camp and the Northwest are different camps in the court.

She always knew that Gu Tingzhi did not participate in any forces in the court.

But he still went to lead the Gyeonggi camp.

Was he attacked by the other party? !

But it doesn't seem right.

Although he always pretended to be aggrieved, she felt that he seemed quite happy.

There was a slightly suppressed laugh in the throat and chest.

You made her wonder about this.

"My Lord, is it a happy event?"

She asked with confusion.

"You want to know?"

Gu Tingzhi chuckled, seeming to be very happy that she cared about him, then loosened his grip a little, pulled Pei Jiuniang over, and made her face him. His dark and burning eyes almost made Pei Jiuniang flee, and then he heard him suppress his joy and asked, "Tell me first, what did you do in my study last time?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang's heart suddenly sank. She didn't know if Gu Tingzhi had discovered something. She lowered her head and was just thinking of a solution when he lifted her chin with his hand, forcing her to look him in the eye.

Looking at the warm and soft beauty in front of him, Gu Tingzhi, who had been a monk for many years, felt hot all over and needed a way to vent. But just as he lowered his head and was about to catch those red lips, she avoided him by mistake, and her cold and panicked voice asked, "What are you afraid of me finding, Lord?"

"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Just go and find it."

He seemed even happier at her questioning.

Pei Jiuniang's heart stagnated, and she suddenly realized, could it be that he thought she was jealous and went to see if there were other women?

After all, he said frankly that when he returned to the Marquis's Mansion, he mostly stayed in the study.

Feeling upset.

She was hugged by him again, and his hot breath and voice fell on her head, "Jiu Niang, I am a person who is naturally a little slow in emotion. I used to think that I would never be fascinated by a woman in my life, but now I have to admit that I am indeed fascinated by you.

Jiu Niang, please don't leave me. I know you want to take the imperial examination and become an official in the court. I know everything.

So I won't stop you, as long as you don't leave me."

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang felt a chill all over her body. Although she did not try to avoid it on purpose, she did not expect that Gu Tingzhi knew everything.

Now that you know, then?!

Don’t you know the laws of the court?

"My Lord, you are drunk. Wait..."

"I'm not drunk. I did have a few drinks today, but I know I'm not drunk. It's just that there are some things that I might never be able to say if I'm completely sober. Jiu Niang, let me finish what I want to say."

There was a pleading tone in his voice. The usually aloof Gu Tingzhi suddenly acted like this, and Pei Jiuniang's heart could no longer be hardened.

So she didn't say anything, didn't move, and let him hold her.

As if sensing her change, he sighed inwardly and continued, "I know everything. You didn't go to my study room because you were afraid that I was hiding a woman. You only wanted to find evidence and handles against me. Are you thinking of divorcing me? Isn't that right?"

Pei Jiuniang was stunned. She stared in disbelief that he knew everything.

"When you didn't say anything, I knew I was right. Jiu Niang, don't leave me. I have already resigned as the commander of the Jingji Camp. I will take a sinecure in the capital. I will find a way to get His Majesty to make concessions. Jiu Niang, if you want to take the imperial examination, you can take it. If you want to serve as an official in the court, you can serve.

Also, I know you are unhappy in the Marquis' Mansion, it doesn't matter, we can move out, we can move to my house first, and then move to the Pei Mansion when you become an official in the future, but Jiu Niang, can you let me move with you?"
