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

Pei Jiuniang's gaze made Gu Tingzhi dazed for a moment.

He subconsciously thought that she was urging him to come forward, and he was immediately delighted. He walked forward, took her hand and interlocked their fingers, and then said to Wen Rong coldly, "If you want to say it, then say it. If not, leave?!"

With just one sentence, all of Wen Rong's previous expectations and fantasies were shattered. She stood there feeling wronged and embarrassed, watching the couple's affection. At this moment, she suddenly felt like an outsider, the kind of outsider who could never get involved.

There was a beast roaring and pounding inside her. She wanted to go crazy and couldn't even control herself from rushing over to pry their hands apart.

But her reason told her that she could only endure it and not do anything.

Otherwise, she will completely lose the opportunity to get close to this man.

So she controlled her emotions, trying her best to look aggrieved yet calm, biting her lips, about to cry, and finally raised her head stubbornly, letting her voice carry a slight tone of crying while retaining a trace of stubbornness.

"I, I just heard that you were no longer in the Gyeonggi Camp. I was worried about you, so I came to see you."

As she spoke, she quickly went to take a look at Pei Jiuniang.

After all, she already knew it, but Pei Jiuniang didn't. It was obvious who cared about him more.

She felt that a man like Gu Tingzhi, the colder he looked on the outside, the more he craved warmth deep down.

And as far as she knew, Pei Jiuniang had no time to care about him.

As she thought about it, she gradually calmed down.

Yes.

She should get in touch with him little by little, warm him, and be afraid that she can't win his heart.

But she soon discovered something was wrong.

Pei Jiuniang is too calm.

It doesn't seem surprising at all.

She suddenly had a feeling that the whole thing seemed to have been planned by someone else.

But why?

and many more.

She suddenly remembered something.

Recently, His Majesty has decreed that women can also take the imperial examinations and enter the government, but husband and wife cannot enter the government at the same time.

Could it be that?

Thinking of this, she was completely stunned.

Looking at Pei Jiuniang in disbelief.

"You actually asked the Marquis to resign just because you wanted to take the imperial examination. What right do you have?! Pei Jiuniang, how dare you?"

Pei Jiuniang was stunned and had no time to speak.

Gu Tingzhi said impatiently, "How dare you?! Who do you think you are?! You come to question my wife?!"

Hearing this, Wen Rong was completely stunned. She looked at Gu Tingzhi in disbelief and grievance. Because she was too aggrieved, tears rolled down her cheeks. She was in no hurry to wipe them away, but let them slide down her cheeks, leaving mottled tear marks, which made her look more pitiful.

"My Lord, I, I just can't understand. You joined the army when you were young, and it was not easy for you to sit in the position of general. How could she be so selfish? I know that she forced you to do everything. Don't worry, I am here, and I will not let her act so willfully! "

As she spoke, she glared at Pei Jiuniang viciously.

Pei Jiuniang took a breath, folded her arms and said nothing.

Wen Rong, however, took her behavior as a demonstration.

He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but on the surface he looked righteous and condemning the matter.

"Mrs. Pei Jiu, I thought you were virtuous, but don't you know that as a woman, you should consider your husband's family, your husband, and your descendants?

Do you think that you are great just because you have read a few books, know a few words, and can write a few policy papers?

I also want to learn from others to become a teacher and pass the imperial examination to become an official.

Why don’t you think about how many new policies have had good endings?

You are seeking death alone, don't drag down the Marquis' Mansion.

Don't you know how difficult it is for the Marquis' Mansion to survive until now? !

You are absolutely shameless."

Wen Rong said as she denounced.

It was as if she was a member of the Marquis' Mansion, and as if Pei Jiuniang was harming her interests.

Pei Jiuniang was slightly stunned.

She didn't know why Wen Rong had changed.

In her previous life, Wen Rong always said that women are no better than men and that if men can do something, women can do it too.

He even described to her a place that was like a fairyland.

There, women can go out as freely as men, go to school together, work together, and serve as officials together.

In short, as long as a woman is capable enough, she can trample men under her feet.

Wen Rong even encouraged her to run a shop so that she wouldn't be a marquis's wife who was bound by the rules of the marquis's mansion.

At that time, she felt that Wen Rong had really spoken her mind, and she tried hard to focus on the shop and achieve the sense of accomplishment that Wen Rong had mentioned.

It was also thanks to this sense of accomplishment that she was able to survive the long and lonely years without her husband's care.

But now think about it, what is Wen Rong, who shouted slogans so loudly in her previous life, doing now?

She just told her a lot of strange and bizarre ideas, and then left everything to her. He only urged her to speed up the process occasionally, but took half of the money she earned. Then she made friends with powerful people every day, and became very successful. She became a female shopkeeper who was envied and praised by everyone in the capital, a female hero, but no one knew about her who was really working silently.

Sometimes she even wondered if she was too stupid.

Only then will you be controlled by Wen Rong.

At one point, she even thought of Wen Rong as the person sent by God to save her.

So when she knew Wen Rong's true thoughts about Gu Tingzhi, she was shocked.

But in this life, she has changed.

And it changed completely.

Pei Jiuniang looked at Wen Rong who was speaking righteously and couldn't help laughing.

Tears came out.

"why are you laughing?"

Wen Rong was somewhat puzzled by her laughter.

"It just feels like I just met you."

Pei Jiuniang restrained her smile and looked at her.

"What nonsense you said, as if I know you very well. Don't think that I won't say anything to you just because you are like this..."

"enough!"

Gu Tingzhi couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Wen Rong harshly.

Wen Rong was glared at by his cruel and cold eyes, and she felt a little panic in her heart, but she didn't want others to notice. She was about to say something when she heard Gu Tingzhi's cold voice again, "Wen Rong, I'm just giving you some face for the sake of your sister, but even your sister Wen Wan is not qualified to speak to my wife like this, so who are you?!"

"I…"

Wen Rong choked and was speechless.

Gu Tingzhi's cold eyes made her feel helpless.

She tried to speak, but couldn't find the right words.

How could this be?

It shouldn't be like this.

She always thought that Wen Wan's escape and the news of her death would leave something in Gu Tingzhi's heart.

That's not what's written in the book.

But why didn't she feel anything when Gu Tingzhi mentioned Wen Wan?

And in the years that she was away, she actually became so affectionate with Pei Jiuniang, a native woman?

No, it’s not love. There was no attachment in Pei Jiuniang’s eyes when she looked at him, but he did.

This discovery made her feel even more devastated.

It shouldn't be like this.

At the same time, Gu Tingzhi couldn't understand why a lonely woman living in the marquis's mansion would suddenly become nosy.

In my memory, Wen Rong always stayed by Wen Wan's side and didn't talk much, and she didn't even dare to look at her.

After not seeing her for a few years, she has changed.

She no longer looks like the timid little girl she used to be, but rather gentle.

He was shocked by his own thought, and then looked at Wen Rong twice more.

Although they are indeed exactly the same, especially their personalities and some small actions.

But the age is wrong.

But no matter who it is, no one has the right to question his wife.

Who gave her the courage?

As he thought about it, he became even more murderous.

Wen Rong was so frightened that she shivered.

Seeing this, Pei Jiuniang sneered even more. She looked between Wen Rong and Gu Tingzhi for a while, then smiled and said, "She is still young, don't scare her."

"You don't have to be so kind."

Wen Rong thought her kindness was showing off, and she immediately refuted it with a cold face.

Gu Tingzhi's face darkened even more, his cold eyes swept over Wen Rong coldly, without a trace of warmth, and his voice was the same, "Shut up, if you don't want to stay, take those two children and leave. Maybe it was a mistake for me to let you stay. Speaking of which, if those two children stay, it will also be a stain on my reputation. You like to think for others so much, why don't you just leave."

As he said this, Gu Tingzhi swung his sleeves fiercely.

Wen Rong's face turned pale immediately, and she looked at Gu Tingzhi in disbelief, "You, you chased us away because of her? I was doing this for your own good?! But you chased me away?!"

Wen Rong's voice was full of grievance and disbelief.

If you don’t know, you would think she was abandoned.

Pei Jiuniang finally realized how powerful Wen Rong was.

She was surprised that Wen Rong was an actor in her previous life.

This was a one-man show. If she was still as stupid as she was in her previous life, she would probably think that Gu Tingzhi had done something to her. She might even feel overwhelmed with a sense of justice and stand up for her and Gu Tingzhi.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt annoyed, and sighed secretly, then spoke at the right time, "I have something else to do, you guys can do whatever you want."

Having said that, without caring that Gu Tingzhi had not yet tied up her hair, she put down the comb and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Wen Rong secretly wiped her tears and hurried over, but before she picked up the comb, she was stopped by Gu Tingzhi, "Stop."

The voice was filled with deep dissatisfaction, which frightened Wen Rong so much that her whole body froze.

Then Gu Tingzhi said to her with a cold face, "Wen Rong, although I am a military commander, I am not stupid. Put away your dirty thoughts and let me know. If you criticize my wife again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"I, I just think she is not worthy of you, Lord Marquis. You are a hero. You were born to fight in the battlefield. She doesn't understand you. She will only hold you back. I..."

"If she doesn't deserve it, then you do? You're better than her?!"

Gu Tingzhi's eyes were full of mockery.

Wen Rong paused in her heart and did not respond, but continued, "I, I admit that I love you, but I have never thought of taking you away from her. I don't dare to dream of standing beside you uprightly. I just want...even if I am a slave..."

"So that's the case?"

Gu Tingzhi suddenly said.

Wen Rong was immediately delighted and looked at Gu Tingzhi with some disbelief.

Is my chance coming?

But then I heard Gu Tingzhi say, "I see, so you are deliberately planning to join the army and become a prostitute?"

Hearing this, Wen Song was completely dumbfounded.

Gu Tingzhi glanced at her coldly, then left with a flick of his sleeves.

Wen Rong was left squatting on the ground alone.
