"Yes." Pei Jiuniang nodded firmly, not understanding why the other party kept asking her questions if she was not serious enough.

"Okay, as you wish."

Gu Tingzhi picked up the account book and the key and put them away. His movements were a bit rough, and he seemed a bit angry, and his face didn't look very good.

Even Gu Yuzhi felt as if the air had frozen. She stood there timidly, not daring to breathe.

"By the way, the Marquis now plans to stay in the capital for a long time, so will he live in the mansion from now on?"

Pei Jiuniang remembered it and decided to ask for clarification.

"What do you want to say?"

Gu Tingzhi frowned, thinking that this woman definitely had no good intentions.

"It's like this. The courtyard I live in now is the one that the Marquis used to live in, but I know that the Marquis is definitely not used to living with unfamiliar people. Besides, there are already enough people living in this courtyard. It will be crowded if the Marquis moves in again. The Marquis can choose one. I will have someone clean up, and the Marquis will have someone clean up. Of course, if the Marquis wants to continue, I can move out."

Pei Jiuniang said with a smile, and then looked at Gu Tingzhi expectantly.

The other party also laughed, but was a little surprised, and asked back, "Where are you planning to move, Madam?"

"If the Marquis feels that we are an eyesore in the Marquis' Mansion, we can also..."

Before he uttered the word "move out", Gu Tingzhi's expression changed. He stood up suddenly and the teacups were scattered on the ground.

Gu Yuzhi was so scared that her face turned pale.

The smile on Pei Jiuniang's face suddenly disappeared.

Gu Tingzhi walked to the door angrily, then turned back and said to Pei Jiuniang with gritted teeth, "I will move, Madam, don't worry. If you have any other requests, you can tell me all of them today while I'm in a good mood."

"Anything else?" Pei Jiuniang lowered her head, as if she could not see the sarcasm and threat in his words. She hesitated for a moment, then raised her head again, "If you have enough time today, can you come with me to visit Brother Yu?"

Today is Yu Ge's first day at school, and she wants Gu Tingzhi to go with him. Children with a father's support are always looked up to.

What's more, there are many rumors outside that Gu Tingzhi dislikes Brother Yu, so he has never formally requested an imperial decree to enthrone the prince.

In fact, she doesn't care whether he is a crown prince or not.

Brother Yu is talented and will be able to achieve great things in the future with his own abilities.

There is no need to rely on the Marquis's Mansion.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "I think mother-in-law has told you about Brother Yu's situation. If you think Brother Yu is not up to the task, you can tell me directly and I can take Brother Yu away."

"What do you mean? You want to divorce me?!"

Gu Tingzhi didn't expect that when he was planning to be nice to her, she was about to leave. He couldn't accept it for a while.

Why did the woman in front of me suddenly change?

What about the letters and greetings of the past five years?!

"If the Marquis feels it is necessary, it is not impossible."

Pei Jiuniang lowered her head and seemed to ponder for a moment.

Gu Tingzhi suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, burning him so much that he could hardly control himself. For a moment, he really wanted to grab the woman's shoulders and ask her what she wanted to do? !

Express dissatisfaction?

Making trouble?

Or neither.

He left angrily with his sleeves thrown.

He was filled with resentment and felt uncomfortable, so he finally went to the place where he used to practice martial arts and fought hard.

Pei Jiuniang was not idle either. She remembered that Brother Yu had said before that the food in the school was not tasty, so she planned to make a few dishes that Brother Yu liked and send them to him. And as for Zhu Ci, he helped Brother Yu out of trouble today. She remembered that Mrs. Zhu had said what Zhu Ci liked to eat, so she made them together and planned to bring them over at noon.

Originally she was planning to ask Gu Tingzhi to go with her, but it seems that he can't.

She handed the food box to Caifeng and was about to get on the carriage when she saw Gu Tingzhi in a black suit chasing her out in a hurry. She thought he was going out, so she nodded slightly, but she didn't expect him to have a cold face and finally opened the curtain and got on the carriage. She was so surprised that she opened her mouth slightly and forgot to shout "let's go". In the end, Gu Tingzhi patted the carriage a few times to remind the coachman that they could set off.

The school was not far away. When the two arrived, the school had just ended. Those who could afford it had meals delivered to them in lunch boxes. There were also students who were farmers and merchants nearby. Some paid and ate in the school, while others ordered food from restaurants, which would deliver the food at the appointed time.

Pei Jiuniang forgot to tell Brother Yu and the servant Ah Si that Brother Yu was fine, he was very focused and had been practicing the new characters he learned in the morning, but the servant Ah Si became anxious.

Pei Jiuniang told him not to leave Brother Yu alone, so he could only stay with Brother Yu. However, he was worried that the prince would be hungry, so he looked around.

Pei Jiuniang and Gu Tingzhi arrived at this time.

Give the food box to Ah Si.

Pei Jiuniang quietly walked to Yu Ge's side and saw that the rice paper in front of Yu Ge was already filled with densely written words. Yu Ge was writing new characters that she had never taught him before. He was so serious that he didn't notice that she had sat down for a long time.

Finally, she opened the food box and placed the chicken drumstick that Yu Ge loved to eat in front of him. He suddenly looked up in surprise and saw that it was Pei Jiuniang. His little face lit up with joy and he opened his mouth slightly and called her, "Mother?"

"Good boy, you must be hungry. Mommy made something you like. Come and eat."

She took out the food, asked Ah Si to send the food for Zhu Ci away, and then watched Brother Yu eat.

"Brother Yu, how is life in the academy? Is the teacher treating you well?"

Brother Yu’s mouth was full and he nodded to her.

She was afraid that he would choke, so she told him, "Drink some water."

The mother and son actually forgot about Gu Tingzhi.

Gu Tingzhi finally sent away the headmaster who came to pay him respects and flatter him. When he found the mother and son, he saw them talking and eating. Somehow, watching this scene, he felt as if something in his heart softened.

He observed for a while and found that Brother Yu seemed to speak very little, which was very different from other children who could never keep quiet. Plus, Master Fu had just mentioned to him that Brother Yu was hardworking and smart, but he just didn't seem to talk much.

He didn't think this was a problem.

He didn't seem to talk much when he was a child. Compared with his younger brother who was a few years younger than him, he probably spoke less than the other brother for a day a year.

Children who like to talk are always likable, and Liu likes Gu Yanzhi more.

Therefore, he felt that Pei Jiuniang did not dislike Brother Yu just because he was not talkative. He thought she did a good job in this regard.

He walked over and stood behind Pei Jiuniang. Just as he was about to speak, the mother and son both looked as if they were facing a great enemy. He felt a little uncomfortable seeing this.

Seeing his face drooping instantly, he paused for a moment, but still sat beside him, looking at the words he had written all over the paper, and said in a low voice, "Do you like writing?"

"..."

Pei Jiuniang and Gu Yu were both a little confused. They looked at each other and neither of them spoke.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Tingzhi's face. The general, who had never been afraid of the enemy, suddenly had a strange feeling. He, he didn't know how to get along with his son and daughter-in-law?

Especially your son?

He remembered that in the frontier areas, he had seen herdsmen carrying children on their backs. The children were very happy riding on their fathers' shoulders. He looked down at Gu Yu, who was so thin that he could lift him up with one hand. He scooped up the child with his big hand and was about to put it on his neck when he heard Gu Yu's frightened cry.

Pei Jiuniang also became anxious. Seeing that Brother Yu was so scared that his face was wrinkled and his eyes were red, she raised her hand and slapped Gu Tingzhi like an old hen protecting her cubs.

Then, he grabbed Gu Yu and held him in his arms.

Gu Tingzhi was stunned and looked at Pei Jiuniang with bloodshot eyes.

Pei Jiuniang coaxed Gu Yu gently, was stunned for a moment, then realized what she had done and was also confused.

She, she actually hit Gu, Gu Tingzhi? !
