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

He thought of many scenes when he came back to see them, some warm and some cold, but he didn't expect that they were not there.

He searched the yard several times, but couldn't find her and Yu Ge. Finally, a servant rushed out to stop him, "Who are you? Who told you to trespass into the Marquis's bedroom? Get out now."

It was a stranger, so he probably came to the mansion after he left. He didn't get angry, but just asked, "Where is your wife?"

"Where our Madam goes has nothing to do with you. Get out now. No matter whose guest you are, it is inappropriate to trespass into the Marquis's Madam's bedroom. You are even asking about our Madam's affairs. If you don't leave, I will have someone kick you out. You will be the one who will be embarrassed then."

The servant was so aggressive that he was about to attack, and Gu Tingzhi couldn't help but change his expression.

Fortunately, a nanny who knew Gu Tingzhi heard the noise and rushed out to stop them, "My Lord, hey, why are you here?"

"What do you mean, why am I here? Can't I come?"

Gu Tingzhi instinctively felt a little disgusted.

"It was I who said the wrong thing, my Lord, please don't be angry."

The nanny was beside Pei Jiuniang. Seeing this, she apologized with a smile, scolded the servant who tried to stop the man, and finally forced the servant to pay his respects to Gu Tingzhi and apologize.

Gu Tingzhi had a hint of impatience between his brows. He interrupted them before they finished apologizing, "Where are the Madam and the Prince?"

"Madam has taken the young master to school. Today is the first day for him to go to school. Madam was worried and went to see him off personally. He should be back soon. Would you like to stay and wait for Madam, sir?"

The nanny asked this question while winking at the maid, telling her to serve tea immediately if the marquis wanted to stay, and to send someone to notify the lady.

Although she had made all the preparations, the nanny didn't actually have high expectations. After all, the Marquis almost never stayed in the Marquis's wife's courtyard. It was no wonder that the servants in the courtyard felt unfamiliar with the Marquis.

In fact, the nanny felt a little aggrieved for Pei Jiuniang, but she would not show it. After all, the Marquis was the legitimate master of the Marquis' Mansion and the sky of the Marquis' Mansion. If the Marquis was angry, the Marquis's wife would not have an easy time either.

"How long have you been there?"

Gu Tingzhi paused and asked.

"About an hour." The nanny was a little surprised. She thought the Marquis was going to leave immediately. Her eyes fell on the box held by the little guard beside the Marquis. She was a little surprised. Could it be that the Marquis had come to his senses and remembered to bring gifts for the Madam and the Prince?

But maybe it was brought for the old lady and had not been sent out yet. Thinking of this, the nanny curled the corners of her mouth and smiled contemptuously.

She was Pei Jiuniang's wet nurse, originally from the Pei family, and came to the Marquis' Mansion with them. In the past few years, she had seen clearly in the Marquis' Mansion that the whole family was ruthless and ruthless.

When Liu asked to marry their daughter, she acted so kind and gentle, holding the daughter's hand and saying she was in love. But the daughter had a heavy hemorrhage and a difficult labor when she gave birth to Yu Ge. Liu was outside and told the midwife to preserve the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion. The daughter's blood was damaged during childbirth, and the doctor said that she should not be overworked and should be well taken care of. But Liu sent the key to the Marquis' Mansion before she was out of confinement, and even said, "I trust you, Ninth Lady."

Thinking of these trivial and unpleasant things, the nanny felt unhappy.

Seeing Gu Tingzhi holding the tea leisurely, she became even more angry, and found an excuse to leave. She went to the kitchen and saw the medicine residue that had not been thrown away in time, so she deliberately shouted, "Come here, Madam has accumulated so much medicine residue, why don't you know how to throw it away? You lazy things, don't think that I can't control you just because I'm young, or I'll expose your skin."

As he said this, he deliberately asked someone to carry several large baskets of medicine residue past Gu Tingzhi.

Gu Tingzhi raised his head when he heard the noise. Although he was a military general, he was always very careful and cautious, and was especially familiar with the hostile aura of the enemy. He had just felt that the nanny had a deep hostility towards him.

Besides, since the Marquis is here, there is no reason for the servants to make loud noises.

It looked like it was done on purpose for him to see.

He frowned and glanced at the medicine residue, then put down the teacup. "Did your wife eat all of this? What's wrong with her body?"

He remembered that Pei Jiuniang was in good health and had never heard of any problems with her, but he suddenly recalled that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight yesterday and her face was too pale.

Not only her, but also Brother Yu, he and her children, are also very thin and not tall.

He remembered that the child was born before full term and there seemed to be some problems during the delivery.

But hasn't it been many years?

Didn’t it get brought back?

"Your Madam's affairs should be asked by your Lordship. We, the servants, dare not interfere."

The nanny said this, but she was still unwilling to give up, and added, "The Marquis has been away for five years. He has fought hard and made great contributions. Naturally, he thinks that women should enjoy a peaceful life at home. Forget it, I won't say anything. Since the lady doesn't want to say anything, this old servant won't say anything more."

Having said that, he glanced at Gu Tingzhi and was about to quicken his pace to walk out.

But he was still stopped by Gu Tingzhi.

"Wait a minute, I heard something fishy in your words just now. Are you feeling sorry for your wife? Then tell me more and let me hear it."

Gu Tingzhi was rarely overstepped upon, and he was a little angry, but he was suppressing his anger.

"This is what the old servant beside the Marquis said. I am not afraid of offending the Marquis. At the beginning, the Marquis's mansion proposed to marry our young lady. Although he had an engagement with our young lady, our young lady was famous in the boudoir and many people wanted to marry her.

The young lady agreed to marry you because she valued the Marquis and valued his promise. You guys schemed against her before the marriage. If it were another girl, she would have been unable to get over it long ago, but our young lady just thought that the Marquis was drunk and never took it to heart.

But the Marquis has been as cold to our young lady since then, and later he never came back. Over the years, the young lady has been struggling to support the Marquis's mansion, and her body has long been exhausted, but she has not earned anything else, and was accused of not raising the children well. Now you are back, but you have adopted a pair of children. If you are like this, don't blame our lady for being disappointed."

The nanny had been pent up with words for many years, and she poured them out in one breath.

But to be honest, the more happy I felt when I said it, the more scared I felt after I said it.

Especially since Gu Tingzhi had been leading troops for many years, he had a natural hostility. At this moment, he frowned and looked at people seriously, and the nanny's legs were shaking a little.

Fortunately, he just waved his hand in the end, and she ran away in one breath.

After the man left, Gu Tingzhi fell into deep thought.

He was surprised and somewhat shocked by what the old lady said just now.

The most surprising thing is that she said, "Before marriage, I was plotted against, and I just thought it was because I was drunk?"

Didn't she drug him on purpose in order to get married?

Although he couldn't help himself from the medicine at that time, he was not completely unconscious. The medicine was very strong, otherwise he would not have been unable to resist and fallen.

This is also what he hated about her.

For the first time, he, who had always been self-sufficient and fearless, felt that he could not control himself.

It wasn't just the plot that made him break his promise to Wen Wan.
