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

There was silence for a long time after the words were spoken.

There had been a lot of discussion in the Imperial College regarding the identities of Gu Yuzhi and Gu Xijue.

Gu Yuzhi has always told others that she is the daughter of a marquis. Although she has never said that she is Gu Tingzhi's child, her identity as the daughter of a marquis has almost hinted at it.

Some people also asked Gu Xijue secretly, but Gu Xijue never gave a direct answer. Every time he was asked, he would avoid the question.

Before, everyone speculated that the two were probably illegitimate children.

Gu Yuzhi also said that their mother was the one Gu Tingzhi was originally going to marry.

This caused many people to sympathize with them and despise the Pei family. Some people even secretly said that it was Gu Yu who stole Gu Xijue's position as the crown prince.

Regarding Wen Rong, Gu Yuzhi always told others that her aunt was great and that it was very hard for her to take care of them.

Therefore, everyone has a good impression of Wen Rong.

But now, Gu Xijue's words completely shattered everyone's perception of Wen Rong and the two children.

It turns out that she is not the daughter of a marquis, nor is she a child born of true love.

He was just a child of a distant relative, adopted by the Marquis' Mansion out of kindness, but they schemed against Pei and Gu Yu in the name of occupying the magpie's nest.

Some people remembered that they had privately said that the wife of the Marquis of the Pei family was intolerant and now they wanted to slap themselves in the face.

But Pei never said anything bad about the child. Such a tolerant and kind person was plotted against, but she didn't complain at all.

Even Gu Xijue was taught by Pei Shi with great care.

In an instant, Pei's figure immediately became much taller in everyone's mind.

The official from the Ministry of Rites was so angry that his face turned red. He shouldn't have listened to this shameless woman and came to see Master Pei.

Thinking about this, the official from the Ministry of Rites took the initiative to break the silence, "Master Pei, sorry to bother you. Now that the matter has been clarified, we will take our leave."

As he said this, he ordered the bailiffs to take Gu Yuzhi and Wen Rong away.

Gu Yuzhi was still young after all, and her face was full of fear. She looked at Pei eagerly, wanting her to save her, but Pei pretended not to see.

Wen Rong never thought that she would be betrayed by Gu Xijue. After all, she was a modern person, and she soon figured it out.

"Good, very good. You are worthy of being raised by me, Gu Xijue. You are really capable in climbing up the social ladder."

She didn't have much affection for the two children.

The child of an unlucky father is ultimately a bastard.

What's more, her current body is Wen Rong.

At best, she is their aunt.

Wen Rong and Gu Yuzhi were taken away, and the police officers also left.

Peace returned to the church.

Pei Jiuniang was silent for only a second before continuing her lecture without even glancing at Xijue.

The last glimmer of light in Gu Xijue's eyes was completely extinguished.

He thought that since he had betrayed her proactively, even if Pei didn't forgive him, she would still be moved.

At this moment, the hatred in his heart surged out again.

Pei pretended not to see it.

Someone who even betrayed his own relatives was not worthy of her forgiveness.

Besides, she knew very well what kind of person Gu Xijue was.

But she didn't expect that Wen Rong raised her two children in this way.

Not surprising.

When Wen Rong started a business with her, she did nothing but talk. She was responsible for all the spending and effort. In the end, she took half of the profits and took all the limelight for herself.

Moreover, in her previous life, Wen Rong had also insisted on having the gauze made into clothes, and wanted her, the marquis' wife, to be the first to wear them.

She refused outright at that time.

But Wen Rong had a big argument with her, saying something like the ancients were pedantic.

Later, Wen Rong wanted to sell the gauze to the imperial concubines who were vying for favor in the palace, but she was stopped by her. In the end, the gauze was sold to the merchants who made curtains. Although the price was not high, a lot of them were sold.

Wen Rong didn't care about it.

In this life, without her interference and sabotage, Wen Rong will have to experience everything by herself.

Not long after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Tingzhi hurried back.

Seeing that he seemed a little aggressive, Pei Jiuniang was surprised for a moment. Could it be that he knew about the affair between Wen Rong and Gu Yuzhi and came here specially to call him to account?

Then I heard Gu Tingzhi say, "Today in the Imperial College..."

"I won't care, and I don't want to care. If the Marquis blames me for not taking action, then I can't do anything about it."

Before Gu Tingzhi could finish speaking, Pei Jiuniang had already spoken.

Gu Tingzhi was stunned, then realized that Pei Jiuniang had misunderstood him, and hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. I wanted to say that they had it all their own fault. I wanted us to move out as soon as possible. Recently, you should pack up your dowry. When I have time, I'll take you to see the mansion."

What Gu Tingzhi didn't say was that the mansion originally granted by the emperor had already been exchanged between him and a colleague.

His original residence was quite far from the Imperial College, so after much deliberation he decided to move to a residence closer to the Imperial College.

It’s just that the current one is smaller than the original one, and more elegant.

Pei Jiuniang was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

Gu Tingzhi had mentioned it before, but she thought he was just mentioning it.

After all, the family is not divided as long as the parents are alive, and he is a marquis, so there is no marquis who does not live in the marquis's mansion.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Tingzhi was about to say something else when he heard Gu Yu pulling Pei Jiuniang's sleeve and shaking it gently.

"Mom, should we go now?"

Hearing this, Gu Tingzhi's gaze shifted to Gu Yu's childish and expectant face.

Gu Yu avoided him at first, but then he suddenly thought of something, glanced at him, and whispered, "My mother promised to take me to see the lanterns."

Hearing this, Gu Tingzhi suddenly remembered that today was the Lantern Festival, and there would be no curfew at night for three consecutive days.

He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he hesitated.

Then Pei Jiuniang said, "If the Marquis is free, can you escort us mother and son?"

"available."

He hardly thought about it.

The group took a carriage to the market town.

The night in the capital city is ablaze with lanterns, and it looks prosperous.

There are all kinds of acrobatics, delicious food, hawking, shadow puppet shows, puppet shows, and everything else.

Gu Yu was short and couldn't see clearly. He held Pei Jiuniang's hand again and again. Suddenly, he realized something was wrong with his hand. He found that Gu Tingzhi had become the person standing next to him. When he was about to retract his hand, he was pulled by a big hand. With a scream, he sat on Gu Tingzhi's shoulder.

Gu Tingzhi was very tall, and his vision suddenly became broader.

Seeing things that were not visible before.

The discomfort in my heart was also attracted by what I saw. I was full of anticipation and pointed to a place not far away and shouted, "I want to go there."

"Okay, Dad will take you there."

Gu Tingzhi was happy that his son was close to him and strode over.

Pei Jiuniang watched and hurriedly followed, but she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.

She turned around and found nothing.

But she knew it was Gu Xijue.

She just didn't understand why he was so persistent in making her accept him?

With hatred between the two of them, this was originally impossible.

Besides, every time Gu Xijue suffers a loss in front of me, he will do something to hurt me and Brother Yu. How can he have the face to do that?

Pei Jiuniang shook her head and soon ignored it.

Just a stinky rat that likes to hide in the dark

Why should she care?
