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

Gu Tingzhi lowered his eyes and stroked the teacup. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The water in the teacup had gone cold, but he didn't even notice.

"Uncle, uncle, the water is cold. I'll make you a new one."

Until a childish and flattering voice of a little girl woke him up. When he looked up, he saw a childish face.

It’s Gu Huan’s child.

He put the teacup on the table. Gu Yuzhi held it with both hands to pour out the cold tea. Gu then laboriously picked up the teapot and poured him new tea.

He watched in silence. The child's movements were awkward but in a flattering manner, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

In particular, as if she noticed that he was looking at her, Gu Yuzhi nervously smiled at him ingratiatingly, but she lost her focus for a moment and spilled the scalding tea on her hands.

The child's skin is delicate, so it immediately became red and swollen.

He was also startled and stood up quickly, shouting, "Where are the people?"

"Uncle, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all. Uncle, I'm really fine. They are all very busy. It's all my fault. I can't even do the smallest things. I'm really useless."

As Gu Yuzhi spoke, big tears fell from her burning eyes, but she seemed to be afraid of something and hurriedly wiped them back and forth with the back of her hand, "No, you can't cry."

"Come, let me take a look."

Gu Tingzhi already knew that Pei Jiuniang minded these two children, and he was inexplicably displeased when he saw the two children last time. But when he saw one of the children hurting himself to please him, but stubbornly telling himself not to cry again and again, his heart couldn't help but soften.

"It's really okay, just blow it and it will be fine."

Gu Yuzhi tried hard to raise her head, smiled at Gu Tingzhi, and blew cold air on the back of her hands with her mouth.

"I'll have someone bring you some burn medicine later." Gu Tingzhi said, and took another look. He remembered that there was a servant staying to serve him, but he disappeared at some point.

His brows immediately furrowed, feeling annoyed at being treated indifferently and ignored.

Pei is a really good manager of the household, and the servants are spoiled to death.

He suddenly remembered her coldness and alienation towards him last time, and couldn't help but think that the master's attitude determines the attitude of the subordinates.

Bravo.

"Where is your brother? How come..." As soon as he said this, Gu Tingzhi regretted it, remembering that Pei Jiuniang should have taken the child and Brother Yu to school.

Unexpectedly, the little girl pointed at Gu Xijue who was holding a book in the corner of the yard and said, "Brother is over there, brother is reading, don't let me disturb him."

Having said that, he turned his head and spoke to Gu Tingzhi timidly but hesitantly, "Uncle, I, I want to ask you, can you let my brother go to school too? My brother wants to study..."

"She didn't make any arrangements?"

Gu Tingzhi's face suddenly turned ugly, and he slammed his hand on the table so hard that the lid of the teacup fell off. Gu Yuzhi was so scared that she took a breath, but she observed carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, this uncle's temper is different from others.

Last time, she didn’t please her uncle, so he had to beg for it. She went back and thought about it for a long time.

"She? Is it the Marquis' wife? She doesn't seem to like us very much."

Gu Yuzhi lowered her head and twisted the clothes hard with her hands, making them wrinkled.

"I'll ask her."

Gu Ting realized later that the little girl must have come to tell him all this on purpose. Although he was still unhappy, he was also unhappy with Pei Jiuniang's behavior.

Even if someone from the clan wants to go to school, they cannot refuse. Moreover, these two children have now been taken to the Marquis' Mansion. If they are not treated well, what will outsiders think?

Even if she was unhappy, she shouldn't have done this!

Just when he couldn't help but look for Pei Jiuniang, Pei Jiuniang's figure appeared at the entrance of the yard.

She saw the tall Gu Tingzhi and Gu Yuzhi beside him almost immediately.

My heart suddenly tightened, but then I shrugged indifferently.

"What gust of wind blew the Marquis's Mansion into my yard?"

She walked inside, sneering.

She was in a good mood today. Her brother Yu was doing well in school, and nothing could make her happier than this.

By the way, if she didn’t have to worry about those tedious matters in the Marquis’ Mansion anymore, she would probably be happier.

Thinking of this, she frowned, glanced at Gu Tingzhi, who looked obviously unhappy, and walked over.

"My Lord, are you here to call me to task?"

She sneered, raised her eyebrows, and glanced at Gu Tingzhi and Gu Yuzhi with a look as if she saw through everything.

"Nine Lady, I know what you are thinking. I swear to God, these two children and I..."

"I don't care who they are. Even if they are the Marquis' children, or the Marquis wants them to be included in the family tree, I don't mind."

Pei Jiuniang interrupted Gu Tingzhi before he could finish speaking.

Gu Tingzhi's face tightened, but Gu Yuzhi beside him suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"You don't have to pretend like this. I, Gu Tingzhi, never lie. These two children really have nothing to do with me."

Gu Tingzhi clenched his fists tightly, as if he could swear at any time as long as Pei Jiuniang needed him.

Pei Jiuniang smiled and tried to stop him.

"My Lord, I've already told you that I don't care. You really don't have to."

As he spoke, he slowly took out a booklet and a key in front of Gu Tingzhi's shocked gaze and placed them in front of Gu Tingzhi.

Gu Tingzhi took a glance, his expression turned unnatural, his lips trembled, but he still asked, "What do you mean?" Listening carefully, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.

"My Lord, I am not in good health. In order to support the Marquis' Mansion, I forced myself to hold on, and I became ill and neglected Brother Yu. Now that you are back, I can hand over the Marquis' Mansion to you with peace of mind."

As she spoke, she pushed the account book and keys towards him.

Gu Tingzhi didn't answer, but just stared at Pei Jiuniang, as if he didn't understand why she did this?

Other ladies take the power of housekeeper very seriously.

Retreat to advance? !

There was displeasure in his eyes.

"I mean it sincerely. I also know that you are a grown man and you can't do everything. But you still have your mother-in-law. You can take a concubine or a wife. Even if you ask your aunt or the housekeeper to help you temporarily, I want to ask you a question. There is also this account book. It is the income and expenditure of the mansion in the past few years. Before, when I was the housekeeper, my dowry was together with the mansion. Recently, I have separated it. If you are unsure, we can ask the housekeeper and the lower people to check the accounts."

The implication was that Pei Jiuniang had no intention of taking it privately.

"You?! Are you serious?!"

Now, Gu Tingzhi had to believe that she was serious.
