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

Not long after Zhong Rong left, Wen Rong struggled to get up and went to find Liu.

Mrs. Liu was furious and was very annoyed to see her coming. Without waiting for her to say anything, she started scolding her.

Those words were as harsh as they could be.

Wen Rong cursed the old woman in her heart, but on the surface she looked well-behaved and sensible. She waited quietly until Liu got tired of scolding her, then hurried forward to admit her mistake.

"Aunt, Rong'er knows she was wrong. Isn't this, Rong'er is here to find a solution for you?!"

"Solution? What solution? Any bad idea? If you hadn't said you could make money and pay it back quickly, I wouldn't have borrowed... Now I can't pay it back, and debt collectors are blocking my door every day. I want to die."

Thinking about it, Liu got a headache.

As Pei's housekeeper before, she had never suffered such hardships.

If she had known this would happen, she would have been better off being a concubine.

What kind of mistress of a marquisate?

What the hell are you doing, old lady?

"I don't have any money, but someone in our house does..."

Wen Rong chuckled.

Liu was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was talking about Pei, and immediately couldn't help cursing again. After cursing, she took a sip of tea and said to Wen Rong, "You are talking nonsense. She is willing to pay, so why should I be so worried?!"

"Aunt, as long as she is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, she wants to use her status as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion to gain glory, but she has no right to do so..."

"What do you mean?"

Liu always felt that there was something else behind the words.

But I do think it makes some sense.

But the key point was that Pei was unwilling to do so. It was not that she had not thought about sending someone to steal from Pei, but those who went there were all losers and could not even get close to Pei.

She even suspected that Pei had moved the private vault away? !

This is easy to deal with in the mansion, but what can we do if we are not in the mansion? !

"Aunt, you haven't been feeling well lately. I'd say you shouldn't work so hard. Let's go to the countryside or live in the mountains for a while to cultivate our bodies and minds. It will definitely be beneficial to your health."

As she said this, she acted coquettishly towards Liu, "Let Yuzhi accompany you when the time comes, so you can relax and unwind."

Hearing this, Liu was startled, then looked at Wen Rong, "What about you?! And Xi Jue?!"

"Xi Jue still has to study in the Imperial College, so he can't fall behind in his studies. As for me, my aunt, and my cousin going south alone, I'm always worried..."

"You're going to find Tingzhi?!"

Liu was shocked, and then overjoyed.

"You're right. Tingzhi likes to be taken care of. I'll be relieved if you go. But you must not mess it up this time. Then I'll take Yuzhi to live in the countryside for a while. It just so happens that I haven't been back for a few years. It's time to go back and visit my relatives. I'll leave... Ke Xijue alone?!"

"Don't worry, aunt. Xijue is still a child after all. No one will make things difficult for him. At most, we can let him live in the Imperial College. Do they dare to... Besides, those people are not stupid. How could they leave Pei and Gu Yu alone and go to find Xijue... But I still have to remind you, aunt, you must not make too much noise to let Pei notice. It's best to dress simply and leave quietly."

"What you said makes sense. I will have someone clean up the mess right now..."

"it is good."

Wen Rong was delighted to see that Liu agreed.

It happened that Gu Yanzhi was not at home during this period, so Gu Pingting also went to visit her classmate's house.

Liu didn't have so many concerns.

And at the same time.

Pei's courtyard welcomed an uninvited guest.

He didn't expect that Gu Xijue would take the initiative to come to her and say that he had something important to tell her.

He wanted to send away the maidservants and close the door.

She didn't bother to care, but she was curious about what he would say.

So he did as he was told.

But after waiting for a long time, he still hesitated and didn't say anything.

Her patience was completely worn out.

Just as she was about to see the guest off, Gu Xijue suddenly spoke as if he had made up his mind, "I can tell you, but can you agree to one condition first?"

He looked at her eagerly, his eyes full of hope.

He knew that Wen Rong had suggested that Liu take Gu Yuzhi away and leave the mess to Pei.

He was also stunned for a long time.

But he finally decided that this trick would never make Pei compromise.

The experiences and lessons of the past are too profound.

So, after thinking it over, he decided that before Pei found out and beat him up, he might as well do a favor.

Maybe I can even gain a little favor from the Pei family.

Of course, he also knew that she would never accept him.

But maybe he could try something else.

After all, he has lost too many people in this life.

No one is protecting him anymore.

He must plan for himself.

"Gu Xijue, you can say it or not, am I too kind to you? Do you think you still have the nerve to negotiate with me?!"

Pei sneered.

Her words made Gu Xijue's face completely gloomy, and the hands hanging on both sides secretly clenched into fists, foreshadowing her unwillingness.

Pei looked him up and down, there was no fear in her eyes, only ridicule and mockery.

It's not like she hasn't thought about revenge.

But before she could do anything, she realized that even if she did nothing, they would mess up their own lives.

And every time they suffered the consequences of their own actions, they would always blame her for all the injustices and experiences.

It seemed as if she had to do something for them, and not doing so would be an unforgivable sin.

She even wondered if there was something wrong with their brains?!

But seeing that Gu Xijue was the co-organizer, she suddenly became curious.

"Tell me about it..."

"Um?!"

Perhaps he didn't expect Pei to change her mind, and Gu Xijue was stunned for a moment.

"You want to negotiate terms with me? Tell me, what terms are they?!"

She really wanted to see how shameless he could be and what he could come up with? !

"I…"

Gu Xijue hesitated instead.

"Don't want to tell me? Then don't force it."

She was just curious, not necessarily knowing.

"I, I want some money, and I want to be included in the Gu family tree."

Gu Xijue would not miss any opportunity that was beneficial to him.

"That's a lot to ask for."

Pei rolled her eyes, which was pretty much what she expected.

Seeing that she hadn't changed much, Gu Xijue couldn't guess her mind for a moment, so he couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Will you agree?"

"What do you think?!"

She raised an eyebrow and asked back.

Her nonchalant attitude made Gu Xijue even more unsure.

He didn't know how Pei became like this.

Obviously she used to be a very nice person, and was very nice to everyone.

Nor would it make him feel so unpredictable.

Sometimes I feel that Pei is not the real Pei.

Could it be that, like Wen Rong, she is possessed by another soul?

But the way she looked at him didn't seem like that.

"If you don't want to, forget it..."

Gu Xijue's heart sank to the bottom. In the end, he was timid, or lost.

I knew it was impossible, but I still came here shamelessly.

In the end, it was just as expected.

"One."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Pei spoke.

His back paused, and he looked back at her in disbelief. He opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while, Bai asked, "What?!"

"I said I can only agree to one, you choose it yourself."

Pei said casually while picking the kohlrabi on her nails.
