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

Wen Rong really couldn't afford to lose face with this person.

She just wanted to make some money. In her time, you could set up a stall and do some small business in the university.

Although she had never been to college, she pretended to be one and often hung out at the university.

The university is especially lively at night.

Why didn’t it work in ancient times?

Do you want to arrest her?

Originally, she didn't want to involve Gu Xijue.

But seeing that Pei Jiuniang didn't want to help, she was really at a loss.

She remembered that Liu said that Gu Xijue studied very hard, and he was her son. As a time-traveling girl, she must have extraordinary luck.

Although she hasn't noticed anything different about herself yet.

But her son must be extraordinary.

In her era, students who were good at studying had invisible privileges in the eyes of their classmates and teachers.

The Imperial College is the highest institution of learning, and her Xijue is the future top scholar and will become an official or prime minister in the future.

Maybe he could even catch the eyes of the princess and become a prince consort in the future.

Don’t these people have to fawn over you?

Thinking about it, her eyes shone brighter, and she looked at Gu Xijue with hope, "Xijue, you are the best student. You are so outstanding. They will definitely believe you. Why don't you tell them the truth?"

As she spoke, she looked specifically at Pei Jiuniang, her meaning was self-evident.

I don't think there is anything wrong with letting Pei Jiuniang take the blame.

Anyway, she is the marquis's wife and a teacher, so she will definitely be fine.

Unless the Imperial College wants to lose face.

Gu Xijue was tense all over. He wanted to cut off his relationship with them, but they actually asked him to come forward and testify against Pei Jiuniang.

If it were in the past, he would have been too good at it.

But now he knows that Pei Jiuniang was reborn.

Would she be on guard at all?

Thinking that Pei Jiuniang had not refuted, his heart tightened. He subconsciously glanced at Pei Jiuniang and thought to himself, could she have expected this a long time ago?

Damn?!

Are you going to kill yourself?!

Thinking of this, Gu Xijue secretly stared at Wen Rong with eyes full of hatred.

Wen Rong was expecting Gu Xijue to help her prove it, but she was surprised by his vicious look. She trembled but couldn't say a word.

When the people around saw that Gu Xijue didn't say anything, they started talking about it.

After all, everyone knows the relationship between Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Xijue also knew it.

Therefore, he could not completely sever his ties.

But he must not get involved in the muddy water.

After much thought, he finally made a decision.

Trying to keep a straight face, he raised his head and looked at Wen Rong with disdain, "Aunt, if you make a mistake yourself, what does it have to do with Madam? Madam has promised to take us in, which is a great favor to us. If you make a mistake yourself, you must not blame Madam. I have been taught by the saints, so how can I lie and protect you just because you are my blood relative?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Pei Jiuniang also opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

This scene is all too familiar.

In the previous life, Gu Xijue often stepped on her face to stand up for herself.

In the year of drought, victims poured in, and he asked her to set up a porridge stall to distribute porridge as alms. She readily agreed and took out half of her money to buy rice and grain, but Ta felt it was not enough and insisted that she take out all of it?

When she objected, he openly said that she couldn't live without a luxurious life, which caused the already hungry disaster victims to cause trouble.

Wen Rong bought moldy rice porridge at a low price, causing many people to get dysentery, but he said that she was also cheated.

joke

But unexpectedly, this pair of good aunt and nephew would end up on opposite sides in this life.

have to say.

It looks pretty cool.

Wen Rong was stunned for a long time before she suddenly became excited and pointed at Gu Xijue, "Gu Xijue, what are you talking about? I am your..."

She seemed to feel something was wrong when she was speaking, so she stopped herself hastily. After a moment, she spoke again, "You can't..."

"Aunt, that's enough. You come from a humble background and haven't read much, so you naturally don't know etiquette. You shouldn't dress like this, and you shouldn't instigate your sister to show off in the Imperial College. It's even more wrong. No wonder..."

Although Gu Xijue didn't want to have anything to do with Wen Rong, he knew that they were blood relatives after all. If he didn't care about her at all, he would inevitably be called cold-blooded behind his back. Besides, it would not be good for him if they were really thrown into jail.

So, he quickly came up with a way to break the deadlock.

However, they did not expect that his words, which seemed to be derogatory but were actually good for them, would completely irritate Gu Yuzhi and Wen Rong.

Gu Yuzhi yelled at him like crazy, "Gu Xijue, how can you say that about your aunt? She raised us from childhood, and she has dragged herself to this age without getting married. She is not illiterate. She taught us to read and write..."

Hearing this, Gu Xijue frowned slightly. He was speechless about this stupid sister. He only hoped that Wen Rong could understand his good intentions.

Wen Rong did hesitate for a while, but looking at the crying Gu Yuzhi, all her thoughts were in a mess again. In her mind, she remembered the words that Gu Xijue had scolded her, and how Gu Xijue had deliberately distanced himself from her since they met again. Gu Yuzhi had told her more than once that Gu Xijue wanted to be Pei Jiuniang's son, and had tried to please Pei Jiuniang many times for this.

What a wolf cub.

She gave him life and raised him, but he only wanted to be someone else's son.

He watched his loved ones suffer and remained indifferent.

Thinking of this, Wen Rong sneered in her heart, and a look of helplessness appeared on her face.

"Your sister is right. I have worked hard to educate you, but you only want to marry into a rich family. Now you don't care about our lives in order to marry into a rich family and become her son."

"I…"

Gu Xijue was confused.

In my memory, they weren't so stupid?

He was clearly speaking for them, and even though it sounded unpleasant, it would help them get out of trouble, right?

Seeing those pairs of contemptuous and inquiring eyes falling on him, and hearing those whispering voices, Gu Xijue could hardly sit still.

No, he cannot bear all this, otherwise, even if he graduates from high school, he will no longer be known as an honest person.

"That's not the case. I didn't. You can't insult me ​​just because I didn't help you slander the lady."

Having said that, he stood up, faced everyone's gaze and began to prove himself.

"I admit that my aunt raised us, but we also helped her with housework. When we were young, my aunt left us to be taken care of by a neighboring grandmother. Later, my aunt thought we were old enough, so she let us take care of ourselves. I started cooking when I was three or four years old. My aunt often went out to sell those strange things you studied. She thought it was time for us to study, so she let us study next to the private school. The teacher of the private school asked us for tuition, but my aunt said she didn't have any. I wanted to buy paper and pen, but my aunt also said she didn't have any, and she said it was not easy to raise us.

But my mother's money was clearly in my aunt's hands. Later, my aunt sent us to the Marquis's Mansion and told us to find a way to make everyone believe that we were the Marquis's children, so that outsiders would not look down on us.

We were told to try our best to please the Marquis' wife and adopt them as their legitimate sons and daughters. We also said that the child the Marquis' wife gave birth to was a fool, that she was in poor health, and that she had a bad relationship with the Marquis, and that she would most likely not be able to give birth to children in the future.

As long as we become legitimate sons and daughters, and wait until the marquis's wife dies, we will beg the marquis to let us have our mother, and then you can enter the marquis's mansion naturally.

But I didn't expect that although the Marquis's wife let us into the mansion, she didn't want to adopt us. You asked us to bully Brother Yu, and I didn't want to, so you let Yuzhi bully him. Many times, the Marquis's wife was very angry, and you asked us to pretend to be pitiful.

You even had someone pretend to be a robber and let the Marquis save you. You then pestered the Marquis to repay his kindness, but you didn't expect that the Marquis was unwilling to accept you, so you encouraged your grandmother to open a shop.

return…"

Gu Xijue himself didn't expect that he had said so much without realizing it.

But when he saw everyone's contemptuous gaze shift from him to Wen Rong and Gu Yuzhi, he knew he had done the right thing.
