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

"What? There is such a thing? Is Tingzhi crazy? Is the emperor's favor strong? Our Gu family still relies on him? How could he?"

Even the clan leader, who always thought Pei Jiuniang was a good woman, was shocked.

After all, nothing is more important than the future of the Gu family.

"Isn't it because Pei wants to take the imperial examination and Wan wants to be an official? There is a rule in the court that husband and wife cannot serve as officials in the court at the same time. My stupid son did it for her..."

Liu said this and sighed heavily.

When the people in the tribe heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly.

Someone who was outspoken stood up and shouted, "Nonsense! A woman should be a good wife and help her husband raise children. It's inappropriate for Pei to be a female tutor in the Imperial College. She even instigated Tingzhi to resign. She is trying to harm our Gu family."

Hearing this, Liu's face lit up, but she quickly lowered her head and said in a gentle and mournful voice, "A grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. I was indeed partial to him before, but that was also because Tingzhi was always excellent and made me worry less. He was much better than his brothers and sisters. I never thought that Tingzhi would resent me... Now he won't listen to anything I say. If..."

"We must not let Tingzhi resign. Our Gu family was in decline before, and no one in the capital looked up to us. It was not until Tingzhi made some military achievements that our Gu family's life became better. The men in the family still rely on Tingzhi..."

"Can…"

"I originally thought that Pei was well-educated and well-mannered, but I didn't expect that she was actually a selfish person who didn't know what was going on. It seems that the rumors may not be completely groundless. So, the matter between her and the Liu family must be thoroughly investigated..."

"Then we'll rely on the clan leader."

Hearing this, the clan leader and the other members of the clan left with gloomy faces.

As soon as the man left, Liu recovered instantly.

I got out of bed and walked around happily for several times.

At this time, someone came quickly to report.

"Madam, Miss Wen and Miss Xiao are back."

"They? They're not?"

She had sent someone to the Ministry of Rites before, but the people there refused to listen.

She was simply unwilling to give face to the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion.

As they were talking, Wen Rong and Gu Yuzhi had already walked in. They walked around the Ministry of Rites. Although they didn't eat much, they just listened to those people in the Ministry of Rites nagging and teaching all day long. But Liu still looked aggrieved as if she had suffered a lot.

Liu originally felt somewhat resentful towards Wen Rong, but seeing her sobbing and groaning, obviously having cried too much, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

"You're back, so be careful next time. Also, you're back just in time. I have something very happy to tell you."

As she spoke, Liu told the story of her Pei Jiuniang and Liu Xiao.

Hearing this, Wen Rong was happy at first, but then she felt a little confused.

"Aunt, why do I feel that this is unlikely? Pei is not that stupid, right?"

"Of course she's not that stupid, but what's the big deal? Those things were originally hers, and Liu Xiao was deeply in love with her. Even if she had a hundred or eighty mouths, she couldn't explain them clearly. She could only be accused of having an affair and was divorced by our Gu family. A divorced woman can't take her dowry with her. She wants to be a teacher or an official in the future, but she can only dream about it. But I think Liu Xiao is also deeply in love with her. Maybe he will even give her a concubine."

Listening to Liu's words, Wen Rong instantly understood that it was Liu and Liu Xiao who framed Pei Jiuniang.

Then everything will be explained.

But while I was happy, I couldn't help but worry.

"Will the Marquis believe it?"

Thinking of the differences between Gu Tingzhi and Pei Jiuniang, she was still worried.

"As long as you are a man, you can't stand it..."

Liu's face changed for a moment, but she recovered quickly and took Wen Rong's hand. "You've disappointed me once before. I'll give you another chance because you've always been well-behaved and we're niece. If you seize the opportunity, you'll be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion from now on."

Hearing this, Wen Rong's face suddenly lit up with joy.

Seeing this, Liu chuckled and sent her to wash up.

Wen Rong took Gu Yuzhi to pay her respects to Liu and left.

As she walked along the road, she felt happy but still felt that it was not enough.

If only Gu Tingzhi could see Pei Jiuniang with the man with his own eyes.

Thinking of this, she felt a little excited. She heard footsteps and looked up to see Gu Tingzhi riding a horse in the distance.

He was so tall and handsome that he immediately caught her attention. She looked at him stupidly until he stopped his horse, jumped off and stood steadily in front of her.

As soon as he spoke, the magnetic voice made her whole body go limp, "Don't you know how to get out of the way?!"

"Ah? My Lord, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something. Also, you were riding too fast!"

Wen Rong looked at him cautiously.

How many times had she been hurt by this cold man and decided to give up, but he always made her heart beat again when she was about to give up.

She felt that this man was really out to kill her.

But as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

We have to wait and see until the clouds clear and the moon appears.

Thinking of this, a hint of shyness appeared on Wen Rong's face.

Gu Tingzhi looked coldly at the woman who was holding his arm. He pulled hard several times, but she held on tightly.

If the other person hadn't been a woman, he would probably have drawn his knife and chopped off her hand.

"what you do?!"

His cold voice still brought her back to her senses from her beautiful fantasy. Only when she met his cold eyes did she suddenly calm down.

She just thought about her wedding night with him, she was so embarrassed.

"Well, I was just wondering whether I should tell you about my wife's matter?"

She thought about it and acted embarrassed.

"Jiu Niang? What happened to her?"

For some reason, Gu Tingzhi always felt that Wensong and Liu would harm Jiu Niang, and he frowned instinctively.

"Forget it, I won't say anything."

Wen Rong shook her head. Although she was so satisfied, she still added in a low voice, "No matter how satisfied others are, I believe in Madam. She can't possibly be having an affair with another man. There must be a misunderstanding."

"What? What did you say?"

Gu Tingzhi suddenly grabbed her arm and squeezed so hard that veins popped on the back of her hand. Wen Song screamed in pain.

"My Lord, please let me go. You are hurting me."

Gu Tingzhi let go of his hand, but he was full of murderous intent, "Speak clearly."

"Yes, I did. It was said outside that the lady gave her personal belongings to the man, and the man's wife found out. The wife made a scene in the Imperial College, calling the lady a seductive slut. By the way, it was said that the man was hugging the lady at the time, and many people saw it..."

Wen Rong couldn't hide her excitement while speaking. She believed that any man would be furious if he heard that his wife had an affair with someone else. However, Gu Tingzhi still frightened her so much that she felt a little stagnant. In the end, she didn't dare to say anything too much. She just added cautiously, "My Lord, maybe there is a misunderstanding. I don't think women are so blind. My Lord is a leader among men. How could Madam..."

As she said this, she tentatively placed her hand on Gu Tingzhi's strong and powerful arm, her face full of amorous feelings, but the next second, she was thrown to the ground by Gu Tingzhi with great force.

"Master Hou?"

"This is impossible, Jiu Niang, it is absolutely impossible. If someone spreads rumors and slanders me, let me know and I will never let him off easily."
