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

"It's obvious that someone can't stand my wife and deliberately framed her. Unfortunately, the woman she found didn't know that my wife's underwear was never borrowed from others. She thought the bellyband with the word nine embroidered on it belonged to my wife, but in fact it belonged to the old servant in my wife's yard who was responsible for pouring night fragrance."

As he said this, he hurriedly asked someone to call over an old servant named Jiuer.

The old servant came to the hall quickly. As he had been burning night-time incense for many years, his body was inevitably stained with night-time incense, which immediately caused a foul smell to fill the hall.

Before coming, she heard that someone had stolen her bellyband.

He immediately saw the bellyband in Zhong Rong's hand, ran over and snatched it.

"This is mine, which lord does it belong to?"

As she spoke, she glanced at him. He was very old, with wrinkles on his face that could kill a fly, and he opened his mouth but had few teeth, which immediately made everyone retreat.

Especially Liu Xiao.

He thought of a certain possibility and felt like vomiting.

But I still couldn't believe it.

The old servant Jiuer locked onto Liu Xiao in everyone's eyes, and immediately rushed over to hug Liu Xiao's legs, "Sir, I heard that you love me, sir, although I have been married, I am still a virgin. My husband died before we had our wedding night. My in-laws said that I was unlucky and kicked me out. Thanks to Madam for taking me in. Madam is such a good person. I heard that I was the ninth child and was called Jiuer at my natal family, and she didn't let me change my name. I thought Madam's bellyband looked pretty, and Madam also gave me cloth and words, and asked me to embroider the small words myself?!"

As she spoke, Caifeng took out another bellyband.

"This is my wife's private belongings, and it shouldn't have been taken out, but some people framed and slandered my wife..."

Having said that, he handed them all to the invited embroiderer.

The embroiderer recognized at a glance that the one she had just taken out was the one he had made for his wife. As for the other one with rough stitching, she shook her head.

"This embroidery is definitely not mine..."

"I embroidered it myself. I don't know how to embroider so many patterns. I just embroidered a number nine and a pair of mandarin ducks."

As he said this, the old servant laughed and pushed Liu Xiao hard with his waist.

The strong smell almost made Liu Xiao vomit on the spot.

But Zhong Rong still didn't believe it, "This is impossible, how is it possible?"

As she spoke, she looked at Liu Xiao sharply.

If not, why didn't he make it clear?

Could it be? !

She was going crazy thinking about the possibility.

She swore to die as atonement for her sins.

Some people also don’t understand. If Liu Xiao is deeply in love with Pei Jiuniang, how could he not know that the bellyband is not a thing at all?

It was obviously impossible for him to have any relationship with the old servant.

Could it be that someone deliberately gave his old servant's bellyband to frame him?

Faced with many questions, Gu Tingzhi directly brought out the nanny who stole the bellyband, as well as the nanny beside Liu and the servant beside Liu Xiao.

After a few people talked about the matter, everyone finally understood what was going on.

They couldn't believe that Liu Xiao had someone steal Pei's private belongings because he couldn't get the love she wanted. What they didn't expect was that what the old woman stole was not Pei's at all.

As the mother-in-law, Liu knew that Pei was innocent, but she still wanted to make a big fuss. She also wanted to take the opportunity to divorce her and take away her dowry.

The truth came out.

When Liu Xiao thought about how he had mistaken a night-scented old woman's bellyband for Pei Jiuniang's, kept it close to his body, and had smelled and kissed it countless times, he felt so disgusted that he vomited on the spot.

Liu was even more criticized by thousands of people and was completely disgraced.

Zhong Rong was even more humiliated.

Pei Jiuniang looked on in amazement. Although she had known that she could escape, she did not expect that it was Gu Tingzhi who helped her solve the problem.

He actually knows everything.

Gu Tingzhi also thought of this on the way here. He never believed that Pei Jiuniang would do such a thing. He was a general, and generals were very direct in doing things. If they suspected someone, they would capture the people around him, and beat them up with threats and bribes. There was always a kind of

The son of the nanny beside Liu was caught by him earlier for secretly selling grain and fodder, a crime punishable by death. The nanny immediately knelt down and said that she would do whatever he said as long as her son was released.

It was also because Liu was too confident that such an important matter was made known to everyone.

As for Liu Xiao and the nanny who stole the bellyband, he easily convinced them.

It just took some time, but fortunately it was in time.

Finally, the censors clarified everything and left.

Of course, Zhong Rong could not atone for her sins by dying.

But she and Liu Xiao also had a big fight.

After everyone else left, only the Gu family was left.

Looking at the looks from her clansmen, Liu almost collapsed.

She never expected this outcome.

She originally wanted to win back a game and drive Pei Jiuniang away, but...

Thinking that it was her own son who was ruining her in public, she rushed towards Gu Tingzhi, but Gu Tingzhi dodged her. She fell to the ground with her arms and legs spread out, crying in anger and cursing Gu Tingzhi for being unfilial.

"You are a disobedient and unfilial thing. Whose son doesn't listen to his mother? It's you who spoiled him. That's why Pei Jiuniang dares to be disobedient and unfilial to me..."

"Mother, when she was filial to you before, you didn't treat her well. Why do you think that you can bully others at will just because you are my mother? I already know everything you have done to her in the past five years. Do you think I can let you bully her again?"

"You? You've lost your mind. I think you've been bewitched by her. Elders, I can't do anything about it. This unfilial son gave up his future for a woman..."

Hearing this, Gu Tingzhi faced the elders and spoke out everything in his heart.

"My fellow elders, I know that I am resigning and that makes everyone confused, but please believe me, holding military power right now may not be a good thing. I think everyone has heard the saying that everything that rises will fall. In short, trust Tingzhi. Tingzhi is not an irresponsible person who acts arbitrarily."

Hearing this, the elders of the Gu family looked at each other, and finally left with one sentence, "You can do whatever you want" and left.

Having done such shameful things, Liu was very afraid that Gu Tingzhi would drive her out of Kyoto.

But Gu Tingzhi said nothing, only saying, "This is your last chance, mother."

He then left with Pei Jiuniang and Gu Yu.

Pei Jiuniang only received the news when she arrived at the yard.

"Madam, Jiuer packed her bags and said she was going to the Liu family?"

"Okay, send it to her with drums and gongs, and tell her that this lady has learned that Lord Liu is in love with the old servant who pours night fragrance in your house, so she specially sent the indenture contract along with the person, hoping that Lord Liu will be responsible for the old servant, otherwise this lady and the Marquis will not agree."

Listening to what Pei said, Caifeng Cuiping couldn't stop smiling.

Gu Tingzhi rarely smiled.

Looking at Pei's smile, his eyes were full of doting.

A few days later, Pei Jiuniang received a letter from another place.

Only after opening it did I realize it was my eldest brother Pei An.

She actually didn't have much feelings for Pei An.

Whether in the previous life or this life, she had not had much contact with him.

However, Pei An has always been neither promoted nor demoted as an official. In her previous life, Shen had always asked her for help in getting promoted. In this life, no matter what happened between her, Shen, and Pei's father, Pei An was like invisible throughout the whole life.

So, when he received Pei An's letter, he was still quite surprised.

But I still opened it and read it.

It turned out that Pei An was transferred to another place. For some unknown reason, Pei An told her something. It turned out that she was not the Pei family's biological daughter at all. She was picked up by her grandparents on the road. It was just that her grandparents really liked her, so they decided to record her in the family tree, and she became the eldest daughter of the Pei family.

But in fact, Shen had always suspected that she was the child of Pei's father and another woman, so she had not been very nice to her over the years.

Finally, Pei An said that he was largely responsible for the situation that had come to this between her and Shen's.

I told her this just to make her feel less upset.

After reading it, Pei Jiuniang felt that many things that had been unexplainable before could now be explained.

In addition, there was another letter in the same envelope, which was sent by Pei's father, saying that the new wife had given birth to a daughter and wanted her to give her a name.

She knew that Pei's father was seeking peace.

But she just read it calmly without any other thoughts.

After all, Shen and Shen Yuyan's repeated plots against her were inseparable from Pei's father's acquiescence and inaction.

Since there is no blood relationship, then we can be strangers in the true sense of the word.

From then on, she only recognized her grandparents.

I just hope they can be happy in another world.
