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

Zhong Rong and Liu Xiao are here.

After returning home, the two started fighting.

Liu Xiao almost divorced Zhong Rong.

Although the two did not separate in the end, they had a quarrel and Zhong Rong told the story that Liu Xiao, who was unable to get her love, bribed the servants in the Marquis' Mansion to steal Pei Jiuniang's underwear, but ended up buying the old servant Dao Yexiang. This made Liu Xiao very angry and humiliated.

Immediately afterwards, the marquis's mansion sent the old servant away with drums and gongs, making his affairs known to everyone.

Now everyone knows what Liu Xiao did.

He originally worked as a censor in the Censorate, and the thing he valued most was his reputation.

As a result, the censors of the Censorate jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor.

The censors impeached all officials, but those they impeached were always those outside the Censorate.

Let a dozen censors impeach him together.

This Liu Xiao is the first one since ancient times.

The historian who was responsible for recording history gave him a heavy note.

Liu Xiao left the Censorate in disgrace, and finally begged and pleaded for a job as a small scribe in Kyoto Prefecture.

And that old servant even stayed in the Liu family, insisting that she was still a virgin. He even hid her underwear in her quilt and smelled it, saying that she had lost her reputation.

In the end, it was Zhong Rong who stepped in and gave the old servant a large sum of money before sending her away.

Because Zhong Rong was misled, she was not expelled from the Imperial College, but she was reduced from a teacher who could teach independently to a teacher who only assists in teaching.

If it were in the past, Zhong Rong would definitely not be reconciled.

But now, they have lost too many people.

Liu Xiao’s identity as the Imperial Censor was not preserved.

She had to keep it at all costs.

at the same time.

Gu Tingzhi has recently been watching the craftsmen renovating the new mansion.

After all, it is old and the bricks and tiles need to be replaced.

It seems simple, but it is not easy.

He didn't pay much attention to these things before.

But now, thinking about the family living there in the future, he wants to do it himself.

Moreover, he knew that although Liu seemed to be well-behaved recently, as long as they still lived together, she would never be able to completely stop disturbing Jiu Niang and Yu Ge.

Today, she dared to steal Jiu Niang's underwear with Liu Xiao to frame her. Tomorrow, she will just remember to give Jiu Niang a man, and it may even be confirmed.

When he thought of this possibility, he couldn't control his urge to kill.

Even if that person is your own mother.

But he also knew that his dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. No matter what the mother did, if the children went too far, they would be despised.

But he would never be affected by such unfair doctrine, and Pang Jiu Niang and Yu Ge would be hurt again.

Therefore, he wanted to repair the house as soon as possible and move out with Jiu Niang and Yu Ge.

Before, he was worried that he would be criticized if he moved out suddenly. Now, what Liu did was spread all over the capital. Everyone knew what kind of person Liu was. He had no choice but to move out with his wife and children.

Thinking of this, he urged the craftsmen to speed up the process.

But at this moment, someone informed him to go to the Ministry of War.

He was stunned for a moment, then rode forward.

He has now received the sinecure of a military training instructor. He is very satisfied with the fact that he can lead the troops and have time to spend time with Jiu Niang and Yu Ge.

But suddenly his superior wanted to see him, and he was the Minister of War.

He always had a bad feeling in his heart.

And it turned out that his hunch was correct.

A town in the south was burned down by bandits. The local court thought of him after repeated failures in suppressing the bandits.

Seeing Gu Tingzhi's hesitation, the Minister of War stood up and saluted him to beg. "Tingzhi, I know that I need someone at this time. If there was no one available, I would not have thought of you.

I know what you are thinking, but can you just watch the people suffer from banditry?

Those bandits threatened to continue to massacre the town. Tingzhi, those are all innocent people, right?!"

Hearing this, Gu Tingzhi fell silent.

The sense of family and country in his bones made the things in his blood revive little by little.

But he knew that suppressing bandits was not an easy task. His father had been away for several years to suppress bandits.

Years?

He was not sure whether Jiu Niang and Yu Ge would still be there when he came back.

He put in so much effort to make them change their opinion of him a little.

But what about those innocent people?

The Minister of War was still talking about the bandits' evil deeds. After the fire was extinguished, countless bodies turned into charcoal...

Gu Tingzhi clenched his fists and finally made a decision, "I'll go."

"Well done, Tingzhi. This time we will transfer 30,000 troops from the Gyeonggi camp. You can choose them yourself and set off south in three days."

"Yes."

Gu Tingzhi nodded heavily.

Three days?

He would need to spend a day selecting soldiers and allocating food and fodder, and there would still be a little time left.

He had previously promised to accompany Brother Yu to go hunting.

I don’t know how long this will take.

Thinking about it, he made a decision secretly in his heart.

Pei Jiuniang returned to the Imperial College to teach.

But the language requirement is not high.

Moreover, after getting started, communicating with each other can actually promote learning.

She had more time to prepare for the imperial examination.

Autumn is coming soon.

The annual autumn hunt of the Imperial College is about to begin.

This time, students from the Imperial College will also be required to bring their parents and families.

She knew that Brother Yu had been looking forward to it.

He has always been particularly attentive when it comes to horseback riding and hunting.

It's just that he is weak. Although he has started to catch up with his peers, he is still a little behind those who are strong and healthy.

But this time, the father and son are teaming up together, and if they kill the most prey, there will be special rewards.

He knew that Brother Yu wanted to be with Gu Tingzhi.

It’s just that the child is shy and doesn’t know how to start.

She offered. "I'll talk to your father."

The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded heavily to her.

But when she returned home, she did not see Gu Tingzhi. After asking, she found out that he had gone to the Jingji camp.

She was startled.

Knowing that he has become a coach.

A possibility suddenly occurred to my mind.

She actually always knew that he was not reconciled.

But he didn't want to divorce either.

But there are regulations in the court.

If she wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official, one of them must leave the officialdom.

She never thought of sacrificing him.

But she won't give up.

The best solution I thought of before was divorce.

But he didn't want to.

He would rather leave officialdom.

Thinking about it, she fell into hesitation.

Until he came back and saw her in a daze, he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"

"where have you been?"

"You know it all?"

Seeing her worried look, he spoke tentatively.

"what do you know?"

His words confirmed her guess, and she looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Nine Lady, I promised you that I would stay with you for the rest of my life. Sorry, I may have to break my promise, but this time the bandits are too rampant and have even burned down the town. I can't just sit back and watch."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuniang's head buzzed.

A memory was instantly revived.

She remembered that in her previous life, the reason he came back was because a group of bandits appeared in the south and burned and killed several towns in succession. Because the towns were located in the natural barrier and were easy to defend but difficult to attack, the imperial court was quite troubled, so they transferred him back from the northwest.

He was a natural born general. Within half a year, he strangled the bandit leader and recruited the bandits. He was then appointed as the general and was responsible for garrisoning the capital.

Moreover, she had seen people who had escaped from bandit areas to the capital, and she said that those bandits were completely inhumane.

Thinking of this, she almost blurted out, "Yes, you should go."

"this time…"

"Don't worry, Brother Yu and I won't be an obstacle to you."

she said.

Gu Tingzhi was stunned for a moment, then excitedly put his hand on the back of her hand and squeezed it hard, "Jiu Niang, of course I know, but I'm worried, I don't know when I'll be back, what if Liu... And, I know you don't want to give me a chance..."

"Let's not talk about this now, my Lord. When are you leaving?"
