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

At first she thought she could get the maids she brought with her to help her, but they simply wouldn't let them stay with her.

If she refused, the maids in the Prince's Mansion would scold her and even whip her.

Liu was so scared that she quickly picked up the clothes to wash, but she really didn't know how to do rough work anymore. After working for a while, she tore several pieces of clothes. In the end, she was severely whipped several times.

at the same time.

The scene in front of the city gate was known to everyone in the capital that the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion had borrowed 200,000 taels of silver from the bank of the Prince's Mansion and had not repaid it, and was trying to run away.

When the head of the Gu family found out, he took the clan elders directly to the Marquis' Mansion.

Pei knew she couldn't escape, so she took a leave and waited in the marquis's mansion.

Pei couldn't help laughing when she heard people advising her to keep quiet and stop brooding over the past, and to pay back the money right away to restore the reputation of the Marquisate.

Seeing that she still refused to give in, the clan leader also looked angry.

"Pei, even if you don't get along with Liu, she is your mother-in-law after all. There is a lot of noise right now. She said she was invited to the Prince's Mansion, but we don't know the actual situation. Are you really not going to care at all?!"

"If the clan leader wants to intervene, I won't stop him."

Pei chuckled.

"you?!"

The clan leader thought that if he persuaded her kindly, even if Pei did something to Qiao again, she would not give him any face. However, he did not expect that even when his lips were about to be rubbed raw, she still had such an ambiguous attitude. He was already anxious and suddenly became a little anxious.

"Ms. Pei, even if you don't care about Mrs. Liu, what about the Marquis' Mansion? Do you know what people are saying about our Marquis' Mansion? Tingzhi is risking his life to earn military merits, and you are proud of it. Don't you need to take care of his family for him? Where is your kindness?!"

"If being called a virtuous woman means that I have to sacrifice myself to support other people's extravagance, then I would rather not do it. Besides, Liu has already ruined my reputation, so what do I need to be called a virtuous woman?"

Pei's voice became even colder.

"Pei, you?!"

The clan leader actually knew that it was Liu's fault in the end. He now really regretted releasing Liu to support him, but he also released her because she gave birth to a child for the Marquis's Mansion. Although she was crude and shallow-minded, Tingzhi, the son she gave birth to, was quite good and brought honor to the Marquis's Mansion.

But who could have thought?!

It's too late to say this now.

The patriarch is in his sixties, but he is extremely anxious.

The Gu family now relies on the Marquis' Mansion for support.

The Marquis' Mansion is the face of their Gu family.

If they lose face, what hope will the Gu family have?

"Don't worry, Patriarch. Things are not irreversible..."

"The old lady has been detained. Everyone knows that the Marquis' Mansion owes money. The Marquis' Mansion has lost face. What future is there?!"

The patriarch kept mumbling, and seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

"Chief, even if you lose face, you can still get it back. It's nothing. Even if you lose the land deeds and house deeds, you can redeem them. However, if the termites are never eliminated, then what happened today will never be avoided. Have you ever thought about it?!"

Hearing this, the clan leader was startled. Then he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Pei in disbelief, "What do you mean?!"

"Chief, I didn't say anything!"

Pei would never be such a bad person.

She just mentioned it casually.

The patriarch thought for a long time, and finally left with his old body.

The tribesmen who were traveling with him couldn't help but ask, "Chief, why are you leaving? He still hasn't agreed to anything?"

"A termite, yes, as long as Tingzhi is here, the reputation of the Marquisate will remain. As long as Pei is here, the land deed and the house deed are of no use. But as long as Liu is here, the Marquisate will never have peace?!"

Having said that, he finally made a decision.

Liu stayed in the Prince's Mansion for three full days. During these three days, she didn't eat well or sleep well. She had to do a lot of work every day. Her hands were all broken and her body was dirty. More importantly, she was very hungry...

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had suffered such hardship.

Finally, on the third day, she was told she could leave.

She immediately burst into tears of surprise.

But he still asked cautiously, "Why were you allowed to leave?!"

The other woman was very impatient, but she still said kindly, "The head of your Gu family is here, return the money, and you can leave naturally..."

Hearing this, Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes.

Even if Pei Jiuniang doesn't want to care, there are still the elders of the Gu family. They will not just sit there and watch her do nothing.

Unexpectedly, those old guys actually saved her at the critical moment.

Wiping her tears, she hurried out.

When she arrived at the door, she saw the Gu family's carriage. Just as she was about to get in, the people in Emperor Pu's carriage stopped her.

"Liu."

"Clan leader?!"

When Liu heard the voice of the old clan leader, she was immediately delighted. Thinking that this was all thanks to him, she was grateful and thanked him, and finally couldn't help but make a promise.

"Chief, I was deceived this time, don't worry..."

"Liu, you have caused a great disaster this time, and almost lost all the assets of the Marquis's mansion. But considering that you gave birth to Tingzhi, I will not pursue you..."

Before the clan leader finished speaking, Liu just nodded in agreement, but she still couldn't help feeling puzzled.

The family background of the Marquis’ Mansion?

How can it be?

These old guys must be trying to scare me, that's impossible.

But before he could think clearly, he heard the patriarch speak again.

"Liu, you were born in a humble family and behaved badly. You were not accepted by the Gu family at first, but you gave birth to Tingzhi. In order to give Tingzhi a good family background, they reluctantly proposed you as the principal wife. But this is also the thing I regret most in my life..."

"Clan leader?"

The smile on Liu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by hatred and unwillingness. Old man, don't think that you can ride on my head just because you saved me.

Respect him as the clan leader, he is the one, but after all, he is just a peasant.

They have benefited a lot from the Marquis' Mansion over the years, and they still dare to...

"Liu, your parents-in-law and husband are both gone. Tingzhi is fighting bandits in the south. As the head of the Gu family, I am giving you a letter of divorce. From now on, you will have no relationship with the Gu family. I hope you will take care of yourself..."

Having said that, the clan leader lifted the curtain and threw a divorce letter in front of Liu.

However, Liu did not take it. She just stared at the divorce letter falling at her feet. Her whole face turned pale and she seemed unable to accept it for a while.

The clan leader didn't even want to look at her and ordered people to lift the sedan chair and leave.

But she was stopped by Liu who reacted quickly.

"Don't leave, explain yourself clearly... You, why did you divorce me, old man? Who do you think you are?! Who do you think you are? Why did you divorce me?! I am the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion. I gave birth to Tingzhi. He is my son. Why?!"

"You are just a concubine, vulgar and ignorant. The Marquis's Mansion has honored you, but you don't know your place and let the Marquis's Mansion... Forget it, I am too embarrassed to say anything, get out of the way?!"

The clan leader had long known that Liu had no respect for him at all in private, but when he heard it with his own ears, he was still furious.

"Don't tell me about the past. Now I'm the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. My dead husband is gone. Who dares to divorce me?!"

Liu didn't care and just picked up the divorce letter, tore it to pieces, then spat at the sedan chair.

"Old man, don't even think about taking a penny from the Marquis' Mansion from now on."

As he said this, he called his confidants and walked towards the marquis's mansion.

The clan leader's face turned pale with anger. At first he thought that Pei's indifference was a bit too much, but after seeing Liu's expression with his own eyes, he felt that Pei was right to not care.

Liu returned to the Marquis' Mansion angrily. She was holding her anger all the way. She must settle the score with Pei for making her live a miserable life in the Prince's Mansion for three days.

But when she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she was stunned.

Looking at the familiar gate, she was stunned to see a plaque with the words "Courtyard of the Prince's Mansion" hanging on it.

I thought I had taken the wrong path.

But the maids around me all said it was right.

She hurriedly asked someone to knock on the door, but the servant inside was not from the mansion. When he saw them, he angrily chased them away, "Where did you come from, beggar? Get out!!"

“Beggar?!”

The nanny who went to knock on the door was stunned for a moment, she looked down and then she remembered that she was still wearing the clothes of a servant when she was in the Prince's Mansion, and she looked like a beggar.

She was about to explain that she wasn't, but the door slammed shut in front of her.

And at the same time.

Pei knew everything that happened to Liu.

In her previous life, apart from Wen Rong, the person she hated the most was Liu.

And she has always been curious. Logically, Gu Tingzhi's birth made her go from being a maid to a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, and Gu Tingzhi's trip made her go from being a concubine to the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. She should be very grateful to Gu Tingzhi.

But no matter in the previous life or this life, Liu's attitude towards Gu Tingzhi was very distant.

Her favorite was undoubtedly Gu Yanzhi, followed by Gu Pingting and Gu Lanzhi. However, towards the most outstanding Gu Tingzhi, she had almost no mother-son affection.

As a result, he was also very distant and indifferent towards Gu Yu.

She even doubted whether Gu Tingzhi was her biological son.

But how is this possible?

There are so many people in the Marquis' Mansion, could there be some secret going on?

However, she still felt relieved to see Liu end up like this.

Fortunately, she had already discussed with Gu Tingzhi and decided to have the plaque of the General's Mansion directly read "Pei Mansion", so Liu must not think of relying on her.
