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

Gu Pingting was going crazy.

She didn't expect that when she came back this time, Pei Jiuniang would become like this.

He is materialistic and doesn't understand human nature.

And Gu Tingzhi, who has always been cold-hearted, actually favors her and protects her.

Is the world going crazy?

"You'll soon find out whether I dare or not."

Pei Jiuniang would not be shaken by a few words from her.

Gu Pingting was shocked by her words.

"You, how did you become like this? You weren't like this before?"

"What was it like before? I was so open and honest with you, but you secretly called me stupid and wanted to drive me away to make way for another woman?!"

Pei Jiuniang left no room for maneuver.

Her hatred for Gu Pingting, an ungrateful person, had accumulated over two lifetimes and had become so thick that it could not be resolved at all.

"I…"

Gu Pingting blushed and replied that she was not allowed to come.

"That's enough! Gu Pingting, you spent it yourself, I won't pay it back for you. I know mother saved a lot of dowry for you. If it's not enough, you can pay it back with your betrothal gift later. Anyway, there is no such thing as credit in our mansion.

Also, I will have someone find out everything you have done in the academy in the past few years."

what?

Gu Pingting was shocked.

Before she could recover from the fact that Gu Tingzhi was going to use her dowry and betrothal gift to repay Pei Jiuniang, she heard that he was going to investigate what she had done in the past five years.

How?

Pei Jiuniang looked at Pingting's nervous expression and felt secretly proud.

It was only much later that she found out about Gu Pingting's five years in the academy.

Gu Pingting has done many embarrassing things.

That is to say, he has nothing to worry about.

But this has nothing to do with her anymore.

She was still very happy to be able to get back another 60,000 taels.

When we returned to the main courtyard, Brother Yu had already returned from the Imperial College.

Just as she was about to go look for Brother Yu, she was stopped by Caifeng. Seeing Caifeng hesitantly wanting to say something, she vaguely realized something, so she went with Caifeng to a deserted place before speaking.

"What happened?"

She hadn't seen Caifeng look so worried for a long time.

"Madam, Brother Yu had a fight with someone and got a scratch on his face, but no matter how I asked, he refused to tell me, and..."

"And what."

Pei Jiuniang couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Brother Yu has always been a good boy in the Imperial College and has never fought with anyone. What’s going on?

"After Brother Yu came back, he has been shutting himself in his room. He hasn't reviewed his lessons and doesn't respond when we talk to him. In short, it's very strange. It seems like he has returned to the way he was before."

Caifeng nodded as she spoke.

Brother Yu has changed a lot in recent times. He loves to laugh and talk more.

But just now, his eyes changed.

His eyes became dull.

She was really worried.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuniang realized the seriousness of the matter and hurried to look for Brother Yu. However, after knocking on the door and shouting for a long time, Brother Yu did not open the door.

Faintly, you can still hear suppressed crying.

The sound was intermittent, yet it deeply entangled Pei Jiuniang's heart.

Since Brother Yu couldn't come here to ask, she had no choice but to ask the servants in the mansion to go to the Imperial College to find out what happened to Brother Yu in the Imperial College.

Brother Yu listened to his mother's anxious voice outside, and slowly raised his face from where he had buried it in his knees.

His face was covered with tear marks.

He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't control himself.

Because I was taking a musical instrument lesson at the Imperial College today, I was so engrossed in the music that I fell asleep without realizing it.

I also had a dream.

In the dream, his mother pushed him away fiercely and said she didn’t want him anymore. He was frightened and woke up with a scream.

He was also scolded by the teacher.

It is said that he knows absolutely nothing about music.

He really doesn't seem to be very good at it.

He didn't care at first.

But he didn't expect that Gu Xijue would find him afterwards and ask him mysteriously if he had come back?

He didn't understand why and called him a psychopath. However, Gu Xijue didn't give up and stopped him again. Then he looked at him and said, "So you just dreamed about something? No wonder? Can you tell me what you dreamed about?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Brother Yu retorted.

Gu Xijue spoke calmly, "Then let me guess, did you dream that you were ignored, had a lame leg, were very short, had no love from your father and mother, and died alone in the end? Oh, right, before you died, you knelt down and begged..."

Gu Xijue didn't finish his words, because he had already realized from the surprised expression on Gu Yu's face that this was what Gu Yu had dreamed about.

He smiled.

No wonder.

No wonder everything is different after I was reborn.

He always thought it was because Pei Jiuniang was reborn.

I didn't expect it to be more than that.

"You want to ask me why I know? Because I saw it with my own eyes. Oh, it wasn't just me, but also your good mother. So, do you want to know why she was so different from the one in your dream? Then I'll tell you, it was because she felt guilty, guilty for not being nice to you, but in the end you were the one who collected her body.

So, do you understand? She treats you well not because she likes you, but because she feels guilty.

Gu Yu, you are such a pitiful creature. You have never received your mother's love, either in the past or now?"

Gu Yu covered his ears and didn't want to listen, but Gu Xijue had a good reason.

He is confused.
