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

As soon as Liu left, Lai Mama, the wet nurse who had served Pei Jiuniang since she was a child, hurried to Pei Jiuniang's side and said, "Madam, Brother Yu is in poor health and is slow to learn. He does not look like he can shoulder the heavy burden of the Marquis's Mansion. The old lady is still on your side. If it were someone else, he would have been forced to take a concubine long ago. Our Marquis only has Madam in his heart, and the old lady agreed to adopt the heir of the family for your own good.

These two lost their parents in a family accident. I should say something I shouldn't say. Madam's body cannot bear children anymore. Where can you find a better one? Madam, you shouldn't make the old lady angry. Don't forget that our Pei family still relies on the support of the Marquis' Mansion. "

In her previous life, Pei Jiuniang listened to Lai Mama's persuasion and agreed to her mother-in-law Liu's proposal as soon as she mentioned it. She also took the initiative to let the two children live with her in the main courtyard. She cleaned up the rooms on both sides of her house and gave them to the two children respectively. All the necessary items were taken from her dowry private vault.

Later, in order to take care of the two children, she even left her own son Gu Yu to the maids in the mansion. She originally thought that the maids in the mansion would take good care of Brother Yu, but it turned out to be a big mistake.

Seeing that she still refused to give in, Mother Lai's face fell a little. She wanted to continue to use the Pei family to put pressure on her, but Pei Jiuniang raised her hand to interrupt her, "Mother Lai, you are old, I really shouldn't keep you around me any longer. How about this, I will give you some silver and send you back to the Pei family to reunite with your husband and children."

After saying this, she no longer looked at how bad Lai Mama's face looked, and she took the maid Caifeng and left.

Looking at Caifeng who was hesitant to speak, Pei Jiuniang remembered that in her previous life, she listened to Lai Mama's words and focused all her energy on taking care of Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, neglecting Gu Yu. No one else said anything, only Caifeng told her that Brother Yu was her biological son after all.

Later, Brother Yu was treated badly by the maids in the mansion, and it was Caifeng who took care of him many times. Caifeng always used her name, so Brother Yu had some motherly affection for her, the so-called mother.

She only knew all this when she turned into a ghost after her death and heard Gu Yuzhi talking to Gu Yu.

Gu Yuzhi somehow found out that Caifeng was taking care of him, and deliberately found Lai Mama to testify and told Gu Yu that Caifeng had said everything on purpose. Pei Jiuniang had always disliked having a son like Gu Yu, which made Gu Yu, who originally still had hope of survival, completely disheartened and died.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiuniang felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. She kept putting her hand on her chest and leaning against the rockery for a long time before she felt a little better.

"Madam? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Caifeng carefully supported her, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"No need."

Pei Jiuniang shook her head and then grabbed Caifeng's hand, "Caifeng, can you help me take care of Brother Yu in the future?"

"Is what the lady said true? You are not..."

The surprise in Caifeng's eyes could not be faked. Pei Jiuniang knew that many people in the mansion said that Brother Yu was a fool. Even she once thought that if she hadn't seen him write the epitaph for her with his own hands later, she would not have known that the taciturn Brother Yu was a great talent.

Although she was a woman, she had been educated and had written articles that were praised by teachers. Although she hated Gu Tingzhi, she had to admit that Gu Tingzhi was both literary and martial, and was outstanding in all aspects.

How could their blood be bad? !

"Brother Yu is my own son, so I naturally value him. No one can hurt my Brother Yu, Caifeng, I don't trust anyone else except you. I hand Brother Yu over to you. From now on, you will report Brother Yu's affairs directly to me."

"Thank you, ma'am." Caifeng was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, as if she had gotten a great deal.

Pei Jiuniang felt a little sad seeing this. Caifeng had only taken care of Yu Ge for a while when he was born, but she treated him better than her own mother.

Such a pure and beautiful relationship between master and servant was exploited by someone with ulterior motives. In the end, Caifeng was beaten to death on the charge of seducing her master.

Thinking that it was she who ordered Caifeng to be beaten to death in the previous life, Pei Jiuniang's eyes became wet. She looked at Caifeng and swore solemnly that in this life, she would not only take good care of Gu Yu, but also Caifeng.

……

Liu hurriedly left Pei Jiuniang's courtyard and returned to her own courtyard. Wen Rong was still waiting for her reply.

"Aunt? What's wrong? Did she agree? If she doesn't agree, let the two children follow me. After all, I am their aunt. Although I am just a little doctor, I will do my best to treat the two children well."

"She agreed. Don't worry, Xijue and Yuzhi are my grandchildren. If she dares to treat them badly, I will not forgive her."

As Liu spoke, she looked Wen Rong up and down. Wen Rong was Wen Wan's younger sister. Their father was the result of an affair between Liu's father and Liu's father. Her father had only revealed this matter a few years ago and asked her to take good care of the Wen sisters. She originally looked down on them.

But the youngest son Gu Yanzhi fell in love with Wen Wan at first sight. She originally thought that it would be fine to take her as a concubine, but Wen Wan disagreed and said that she loved Gu Tingzhi. She was so angry that she drove the Wen sisters out.

Although Gu Tingzhi and Gu Yanzhi are both her sons, Gu Tingzhi was taken to live with his mother-in-law to be educated since he was young, and later went to the palace as a companion. He is not as close to her as you are, and when he sees her, he is respectful but distant.

Her youngest son, Gu Yanzhi, grew up by her side and is the one she loves the most.

She loves her younger son much more than her older son. No matter what others say about her younger son being spoiled and uneducated, she thinks her younger son is caring.

The Wen sisters were ungrateful and she was too lazy to take care of them.

They are the descendants of adultery and are not worthy of being in public. But we give them face.

Unexpectedly, Wen Wan still followed Gu Tingzhi to the battlefield, and rescued Gu Tingzhi from a pile of dead bodies when he was almost dead in a great battle. Because of this life-saving grace, Gu Tingzhi wanted to marry her, and even wrote a letter back to cancel the engagement with the Pei family.

Somehow this letter was seen by Gu Yanzhi, who quarreled with her for a long time. Later, she could only pretend to agree to Gu Tingzhi and let him bring Wen Wan back first. Then she drugged Wen Wan and Gu Tingzhi at the welcome banquet, gave Wen Wan to Gu Yanzhi, and put Gu Tingzhi and Pei Jiuniang together.

But she didn't expect that her stupid son Gu Yanzhi actually said that he really liked Wen Wan. Faced with Wen Wan who was heartbroken and almost wanted to hang herself, the younger son Gu Yanzhi hated his mother and ran away in a rage. As soon as he went out, he was hit by a carriage. After waking up, the younger son forgot about this incident.

As things were already done, she could only let Gu Tingzhi mistakenly believe that Pei Jiuniang loved him and drugged him, thus facilitating his marriage to Pei Jiuniang, and then tell her that Wen Wan had left in a huff.

In fact, she married Wen Wan, who killed his youngest son, to a wealthy businessman far away from the capital.

Originally, this matter had passed, but she never dreamed that Wen Rong would find her and tell her the news of Wen Wan's death and that Wen Wan had given birth to Gu Yanzhi's two children.

She was skeptical at first, but when she saw Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, she felt that they looked like her Yan Zhi. Later, she investigated carefully and finally confirmed that they were her grandchildren.

Naturally, she couldn't treat her grandchildren badly. She first arranged an identity for them in the Gu family, and then began to get them to return to the Gu family.

It's not that I haven't thought about letting them recognize each other very slowly.

But firstly, Yan Zhi had lost his memory and had forgotten Wen Wan. Secondly, Yan Zhi was discussing marriage, and now the news of an illegitimate child spread, so the marriage was in jeopardy.

And after all, Yan Zhi is only the second son, not as good as Gu Tingzhi.

Moreover, she really didn't like Gu Yu, the son of Pei Jiuniang. He was five years old but looked like he was only two or three years old. He couldn't speak well, didn't call people when he saw them, and was not close to them. Many people said that he was stupid.

How can a fool inherit the title? !

Pei Jiuniang is injured and I'm afraid she will never get pregnant again. Gu Tingzhi is obsessed with war all day and never comes back. He is not interested in women either, so I'm afraid the first wife will never have children again.

After much thought, Liu felt that it would be a great idea to let Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi be adopted by Gu Tingzhi.

The father of the clan identity she arranged for them was originally Gu Tingzhi's deputy general Gu Huan. Later, he was injured in the heart after blocking the sword for Gu Tingzhi and returned to the clan. Gu Huan had once received kindness from Wen Wan, and was willing to repay her through her children. In order to make it easier for them to be adopted by Gu Tingzhi, Gu Huan even wrote a letter to Gu Tingzhi himself, and then jumped into the river to commit suicide, telling others that he did not want his sick body to burden his children.

"Aunt is the mother-in-law, so she has to listen to what she says. But she has a son after all, so I'm afraid she's just pretending."

Wen Rong's eyes flickered, and she reminded Liu implicitly in her words.

"That idiot is of no use. As long as she is completely disappointed in the idiot, Xijue and Yuzhi will be closer to her. She will know what to choose." Liu sneered. She could see what Wen Rong was thinking.

Yes, her eldest son Gu Tingzhi is indeed outstanding. When Wen Rong was young, she liked to stick to him. Now she is grown up and has reached the age for marriage. The Wen family is just an imperial physician, and their family background is not good enough. It is okay for her to fight for a bright future for herself.

Besides, no matter how useless Wen Rong was, she was still her blood niece, and was closer to her than Pei Jiuniang. The Pei family was still quite prominent during the generation of Pei Jiuniang's grandfather. Taifu Pei had countless disciples, and with a single move he could become a force, and he had also served as the emperor's teacher.

But Master Pei passed away a few years ago. Pei Jiuniang's father was a good-for-nothing and now he doesn't even have a proper official position. None of her brothers and sisters have married well and they are still begging the Marquis's Mansion. Seeing that the Pei family is in decline, she will regret abandoning Wen Wan and choosing Pei Jiuniang.

Thinking of this, she looked at Wen Rong and smiled, "You have done a great job in taking care of the Gu family's bloodline. I will not forget you. You can live in the mansion first. You know the truth that those who are close to the water will get the moon first."

"Thank you, aunt."

Wen Rong was naturally overjoyed, "But if I stay, it will inevitably be exposed. Aunt, I, I want to ask for a favor from you."

"what?"

"I want Aunt to adopt me as her adopted daughter, so that I can openly go in and out of the mansion frequently. First, I can serve Aunt all the time, and second, I can visit the children frequently. What do you think, Aunt?"
