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

Someone couldn't help but envy you and said, "Pingting, I envy you so much! You are born into a noble family, your brother is a general with great military achievements, and even your sister-in-law works in the Imperial Academy. You are the only teacher with an official title and rank appointed by His Majesty himself.

Now I have such a capable cousin."

"Yes, yes, even if Pingting didn't rely on that cousin, she would still be able to attend the princess's flower-viewing banquet. We are nothing like her, who can only rely on Pingting's help."

Gu Pingting was flattered by the praise and couldn't help feeling proud in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface.

But wait, she grabbed the classmate who had just complimented her and asked anxiously, "What did you just say? You said my sister-in-law went to the Imperial College?"

"Yeah, don't you know?"

The man was a little stunned. At first he thought that Gu Pingting wanted to find an excuse to get them to praise her. Having been classmates with her for many years, they knew Gu Pingting's character very well. It was only because they saw that Gu Pingting was of high status and stupid that they kept praising her.

But she soon realized that Gu Pingting's expression did not seem to be fake, and she seemed to really not know. Suddenly, she found it a little funny and could not help asking, "Pingting, don't you receive letters from the capital every month? Didn't your family tell you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Gu Pingting.

Gu Pingting felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said hurriedly, "Of course I know, I just didn't expect that even you knew about it."

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth secretly.

Pei Jiuniang didn't tell her about such a big thing, and even her mother didn't tell her.

Almost embarrassed her.

But how could Pei Jiuniang go to the Imperial College?

As a married woman, why would she go out and show her face in public instead of staying at the mansion? !

Thinking of this, she secretly twisted the handkerchief in her hand and made a note of Pei Jiuniang in her heart.

"It seems that I was worrying too much. Pingting and her sister-in-law have always been very good to each other. How could she not know?"

There are people who have known Gu Pingting for a long time.

She still remembered that when Gu Pingting left the capital with her, her mother didn't see her off, but the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Pingting's sister-in-law, did.

She heard that she was a daughter of the Pei family and was raised by old tutor Pei herself. At that time, she was impressed by Pei Jiuniang's demeanor and secretly swore in her heart that she must become a person like that.

However, every time Gu Pingting heard her praising Pei Jiuniang, she would act disdainful and always say that the Pei family had no one serving as an official in the court and that it was considered too high a price to marry into their mansion.

But she felt that Pei Jiuniang was really good. A person with both talent and beauty, even if she didn't marry into the Marquis's Mansion, she would probably marry someone good.

Hearing that she and Pei Jiuniang had a good relationship, Gu Pingting was somewhat disdainful, "Don't talk nonsense, how can I be good to her?!"

"But your mother didn't agree at the beginning, or did she send you here?"

The one who had been speaking for Pei Jiuniang was a little confused.

"Yes, she did go against all odds and persuade my mother to agree to send me to school. At that time, I was indeed grateful to her.

But I didn't expect that she actually had ulterior motives. Forget it, this is the private matter of our mansion, I can't say more."

But what she said aroused everyone's curiosity.

The carriage has stopped at the Marquis's Mansion.

The servant outside has reminded him several times.

Just as Gu Pingting was about to get off the car, she was stopped by someone.

"Good Pingting, you can't just say half of your words."

"That's right, what happened? You didn't tell us. We are worried about you."

"Well, I'm telling you guys, you can't tell anyone. After all, this is related to the reputation of our mansion. If my mother finds out, she will scold me."

Others raised their hands and swore.

Gu Pingting finally spoke with a sigh, "She has treated my mother badly over the years. If I were still here, how could I let them bully my mother like this?"

"No way? Don't talk nonsense."

Some people couldn't help but question.

"I'm not sure if I would slander her. My mother has been made sick by her several times, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to come back.

By the way, you may not know this, but she used special means to marry my brother.

To tell you the truth, my brother already had a girl he loved and they were about to get married. Although he and Pei Jiuniang were engaged, they had no feelings for each other. Pei Jiuniang also agreed to cancel the engagement, but she secretly gave my brother that forbidden drug. She was a lady from a wealthy family, and to marry a man, she would use any shady means, but she pretended to be virtuous in front of everyone and deceived everyone.

If I hadn't seen that you were deceived by her, I wouldn't have risked betraying the secrets of the Marquis' Mansion and told you.

And the cousin I mentioned, her name is Wen Rong. Her sister Wen Wan was the girl who was in love with my brother. Sister Wen Wan also saved my brother's life.

At that time, my brother was ambushed by the enemy and almost died on the battlefield. It was my sister Wenwan who dragged her frail body to rescue my brother from the pile of dead bodies.

They had been together for several days and fell in love with each other. If my brother wasn't so in love with her, how could he have taken the initiative to break off the engagement with Pei Jiuniang?

It's a pity that such a beautiful relationship was destroyed by Pei Jiuniang. Sister Wen Wan got married in anger, but because she saved my brother, her reputation was not good, and her husband's family often beat and scolded her, and Sister Wen Wan passed away at a young age. "

As she spoke, Gu Pingting shed a few tears.

Others who were watching were also outraged.

They are all in their twenties, the age when love begins to blossom. Many of them already have someone they secretly like. Even if they don't, they have secretly bought storybooks to read. They are at an age when they have beautiful aspirations for love.

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but despise Pei Jiuniang, who was unscrupulous in breaking up lovers.

Gu Pingting was very happy to see this, but couldn't help sighing, "I feel sorry for my little nephew. Logically speaking, my brother is such a brilliant man, his children shouldn't be bad, but my little nephew is said to be five years old and can't speak. I wonder if he is not punished for being implicated by Pei Jiuniang."

Having said that, any discerning person can't help but think more about it.

However, there were also some who spoke frankly and said, "It must be retribution."

After saying that, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly said, "I, I didn't mean that. I just felt sorry for the child. How could he have such a mother?"

"I know I know."

Gu Pingting deliberately said generously that she didn't mind.

The one who originally felt that he had said something wrong now thought she was even better and couldn't help but spit on Pei Jiuniang.

"If I were to ask you, this person who disrespects her mother-in-law and has a vicious mind should be given a divorce letter by your mansion."

The man even said.

"Don't say this nonsense."

Someone reminded her that after all, it was in front of the Marquis's Mansion, and she just heard the sound of wheels, so it should be another carriage that stopped.

Gu Pingting didn't care, "It's only a matter of time."

"In fact, my mother has always intended for my brother to take care of cousin Wen Rong. Cousin Wen Rong is capable and a good person. It would be great if she could be my sister-in-law."

As Gu Pingting spoke, she seemed to have seen the scene of Pei Jiuniang being kicked out of the house and Wen Rong marrying into the marquis's mansion.

In fact, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she just didn't like Pei Jiuniang.

This feeling was not strong before, but in recent years, every time she did not do well in her studies, the teacher in the academy would always use Pei Jiuniang to educate her, saying that Pei Jiuniang remembered what she learned after just one time, and she was simply a blockhead. Also, they said that she was always so vulgar with pearl hairpins on her head, and that she had such an excellent sister-in-law, so she couldn't learn?

As these little things added up, she unknowingly began to hate Pei Jiuniang more and more.

And she knew that the greatest revenge against a woman was to divorce her and leave her without a husband or family to rely on.

She came back this time to facilitate this matter.
