at the same time.

Hou House.

Liu knew that Gu Tingzhi had returned to the Marquis' Mansion, so she kept waiting for him. However, she got so tired of waiting that she dozed off and did not wait for him to pay his respects to her. When she asked, she found out that Gu Tingzhi had already left with Pei Jiuniang.

Liu was so angry that she got very furious. She called Pei Jiuniang a vixen and Gu Tingzhi a man who forgot his mother after marrying a wife and was disobedient and unfilial. But she still felt unsatisfied, so she grabbed the teacups, teacups and teapots and smashed them to pieces.

After smashing the pot, he felt thirsty again. "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you clean up quickly and make me another pot of tea."

The maid agreed, but couldn't help but remind her, "Madam, you have smashed all our best teapots and tea sets. Why don't you make do with the inferior ones for now?"

"If it's gone, go to the warehouse to get it. Pei Jiuniang has dozens of these things in her dowry. If all else fails, go get them from her shops."

Liu said casually without taking it seriously.

"Madam, I went to get it yesterday, but the person in charge of the storehouse said that Madam had already moved her dowry out of the storehouse, and the person in charge of the storehouse had changed. He said that it had been sold out, and it was no longer the property of our mansion. If our mansion wanted to use anything, we had to pay for it."

"What? Pei Jiuniang, she, she actually dared to take things from our mansion without permission. Someone, help me. I want to go and see what she wants to do."

Liu was so angry that she immediately ran to the main courtyard to find Pei Jiuniang to ask for clarification.

Her eyelids have been twitching recently, and she always felt like something was going to happen, but she didn't expect it to be Pei Jiuniang.

A disobedient and unfilial thing.

Liu, who usually suffered from pain here and there, trotted all the way to the main courtyard in a hurry, and the maids beside her could only follow her from a distance.

She arrived at the main courtyard, but before she even entered, she coughed twice and started to curse, "Mrs. Pei Jiu, get out of here. You're occupying my son and not letting him come to see me. Who the hell do you think you are? Do you want to piss me off to death?"

Liu's curse was so harsh that all the maids in the yard came out to greet her. Seeing that it was Liu, they were not surprised.

Before they followed their young lady into the Marquis' Mansion, they had met Liu several times. Liu didn't talk much and was very inconspicuous among the noble ladies. Occasionally, she would be teased and ridiculed by others. At the beginning, their lady felt that the young lady should not be bullied by the mother-in-law like other ladies after marrying into the mansion.

At that time, Liu was particularly affectionate when she saw the young lady.

Ugh.

Who would have thought that Liu would later open their eyes.

Biased, selfish and vulgar.

Later it was discovered that Liu was of humble origins and was a concubine's daughter who was sold to the marquis's mansion. Luckily she climbed into the old marquis's bed and became pregnant with him. After the death of the principal wife, she was promoted to the principal wife because of her son's status.

But even though they looked down on her in their hearts, the maids still bowed to Liu politely and invited her in respectfully.

Liu didn't see Gu Tingzhi and Pei Jiuniang, so she took out her anger on the maids, "Where are they? Where did they hide?"

"Madam, are you asking about Madam and the Marquis?"

"Do you think I'm going to ask you servants?"

As Liu spoke, she slammed the table, and when she saw that the teapot on the table was made of fine porcelain, she became even more annoyed.

She doesn't have anything as good as this.

She was so angry that she raised her hand and swept the teapot to the ground, but the scalding tea splashed all over her. Liu jumped up in pain and said, "Damn slave, are you trying to scald me to death?! Come on, slap me in the face."

Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi heard the noise and walked out of the house, and saw Liu ordering people to slap the old nanny beside Pei Jiuniang.

A hint of joy flashed across Gu Xijue's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Gu Yuzhi excitedly pulled him forward and said, "Brother, it's grandma. She must be here to support us."

As she said this, she raised her little face and greeted Liu with a smile, "Grandma, you are finally here. Yuzhi has missed you so much."

Having said that, he threw himself into Liu's arms.

Liu looked at Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, and her anger subsided a little. Just then, her subordinates had finished slapping them, so she raised her hand to let the annoying things go away. When she saw that Gu Yuzhi and Gu Xijue were covered in dirt, she frowned and said with some displeasure.

"How did you get this on your body?"

"Grandma, the old maid is too old to do the work, and the servants are too young and always slow. We need to help."

As Gu Yuzhi spoke, she showed her hands, which were much rougher than before.

"What?! You still want to do some work? Didn't I arrange seven or eight servants for you? Don't they want to work?"

Liu frowned. She had picked those people herself. After all, they were the flesh and blood of her beloved youngest son.

"Grandma, Madam Hou said that you arranged an old nanny and a servant for Brother Yu, and you asked her to treat us equally, so she changed the people you arranged for us."

"What?" Liu was stunned. She never thought that the arrangement she made to raise Gu Tingzhi's useless child would actually be used by Pei Jiuniang on her own grandchildren.

"My poor dear, Pei Jiuniang, how can Gu Yu be the same as you? He grew up in the Marquis's Mansion with luxurious clothes and food, while you grew up without a father and a mother and suffered so much. Don't worry, I will definitely ask for an explanation for you."

The more Liu spoke, the angrier she became. She wished she could see Pei Jiuniang immediately and point at her and scold her to vent her anger.

Seeing that Pei Jiuniang had not come back, he could not help but ask the two children.

"Do you know what she's been busy with lately?"

Gu Xijue looked up at Liu, then quickly lowered his head. Liu asked hurriedly, "Xijue, do you know?"

Gu Xijue shook his head, seeming reluctant to say anything.

Seeing this, Liu sighed and asked Gu Yuzhi again, "What about you? Do you know? Don't be afraid, tell me."

"Grandma, she has been teaching Brother Yu to read and write recently. We want to learn, especially my brother. He has begged her several times, but she ignored him..."

"What?! You said she was teaching that idiot to read and write?! She..."

Liu stood up suddenly, as if she had heard something terrible. When she realized that she had overreacted, she sat down again in a hurry.

"She, she actually... I told her to focus on you two. That idiot, what's the point of caring about her? She ignored my words. What a Pei Jiuniang..."

"She, she sent Gu Yu to school today. I heard that the teachers in that school are all Jinshi, and they are all very learned people. Grandmother, can you ask her to let my brother go to school as well? After studying, my brother can teach me how to read when he comes back."

Gu Yuzhi remembered that Gu Xijue had been sighing ever since she knew that Gu Yu could go to school. She also wanted to learn to read, because only by learning to read could she marry well. She said, "I don't want to marry just anyone in the future."

"Don't worry, I will make the decision for you."

Liu kept it in mind, and before leaving, she took another look at the living quarters of the two children, especially the people who served the two children. She saw that the maids were so old that half of their feet would be in the coffin, and the young ones had such thin arms and legs that they could not be lifted or carried.

She wouldn't believe that Pei Jiuniang didn't do it on purpose.

What a great Pei Jiuniang.

He actually pretended to obey but actually disobeyed.

When Liu thought about how her two beloved ones had been treated harshly by her for so long, without them daring to speak out, and if she hadn't come over on a whim, they might have continued to treat them badly, she became furious.

In order to make up for her two children, she personally took them out to shop.
