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

Gu Yu shivered with fear and subconsciously held onto Pei Jiuniang. Pei Jiuniang patted Gu Yu a few times, and when he relaxed, she raised her eyebrows and smiled as she greeted Liu, "Is mother out?"

"You still have the nerve to ask!"

Liu had been accumulating anger all the way, and now she finally found an outlet. If she hadn't been afraid of being laughed at by others if she pointed directly at Pei Jiuniang at the gate, she would never have endured it. Seeing Pei Jiuniang still laughing, she became even angrier and said, "Follow me."

He walked angrily to the yard, and when he reached the main hall, he sat down on the main seat, grabbed the teacup and threw it towards the door.

"Mother, please look carefully before you smash it."

Gu Lanzhi narrowly dodged and rushed to Liu who was sitting at the head of the group, then turned around and glared at Pei Jiuniang fiercely, thinking that it was because Pei Jiuniang walked too slowly that she almost had to take the blame for Pei Jiuniang. Seeing Pei Jiuniang was about to come in, she deliberately leaned half of her body to block her. She was tall to begin with, and not only did she not lose weight, she had become more plump in the past few years since she married into the Chu family. With this blocking, no matter how thin a person was, they could not come in. She raised her eyebrows and glared at Pei Jiuniang complacently, as if she was deliberately making things difficult for her.

In the past, Pei Jiuniang might have been anxious and said some flattering words, or even spent money to please this elder sister-in-law.

But today, she didn't want to go in anyway.

If Liu hadn't said so, she wouldn't have come.

"It turns out that my aunt and mother were having a secret conversation. I was too abrupt. It's getting late, so I won't bring Brother Yu along to cause trouble."

Having said that, Pei Jiuniang was about to leave.

Gu Lanzhi got anxious now and chased after him, scolding, "Ms. Pei, your mother asked you to come, and you dare to be disobedient and unfilial."

"Sister-in-law, where do you get this from? Didn't you stop me from entering?"

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the shopkeeper and the yamen runner beside her. After a moment's thought, she understood what was going on and couldn't wait to leave.

"Ms. Pei, why don't you come in quickly? Are you trying to piss me off to death?! How did my son marry such a good wife like you?!"

Mrs. Liu didn't know that her good daughter almost drove the person away. Seeing that Pei Jiuniang had not come in, she thought that she was deliberately targeting her. When she couldn't find the teapot and teacups, she was so angry that she kept slamming the table until her hands were sore.

"Mother, you misunderstood your daughter-in-law. It's not that I don't want to go in and listen to your teachings, but it's my eldest sister-in-law who stopped me from going in."

Pei Jiuniang raised her eyebrows at Gu Lanzhi and deliberately shouted loudly to Liu in the room.

"Little bitch, you..."

Gu Lanzhi was so angry that the flesh on her face was shaking and she uttered dirty words without stopping.

"Lanzhi, the trouble you caused today wasn't big enough, are you trying to piss me off to death?!"

Liu's angry voice interrupted Gu Lanzhi, who was so angry that she stomped her feet, turned around and went into the house and walked to Liu's side.

Liu glared at her trouble-making daughter angrily. Gu Lanzhi wanted to explain, but Liu's mistress didn't want to listen. She looked directly at Pei Jiuniang who had already walked into the main hall. Her eyes rolled and she slammed the table a few times.

"You are so good, Pei, you sold the Marquis's property without permission, do you still take me, your mother, seriously?"

"Mother, why do you say that? When did I sell off the Marquis's property?"

Pei Jiuniang knew exactly what Liu was talking about, but she pretended to be ignorant and surprised, which made Liu even angrier, and Gu Lanzhi also joined in.

"You still don't admit it. Do you dare to say that you didn't transfer the silver jewelry store on Niulan Street?!"

Gu Lanzhi also wanted to imitate Liu and slam the table, but her hands hurt so much that she almost cried out.

"It is true that this is the case, but mother, did you remember it wrongly? That shop is my dowry, which means it is my private property, not the property of the Marquisate. How come mother and elder sister-in-law have taken whatever they want from my shop over the years, and they think my property is the property of the Marquisate?"

Pei Jiuniang's face was calm, as if she was stating something very ordinary, but her words made Liu and Gu Lanzhi choke.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your private property belongs to the Marquis' Mansion. Since you married into the Marquis' Mansion, you belong to the Marquis' Mansion. Your things also belong to the Marquis' Mansion. Pei, you don't even understand this, do you?"

Gu Lanzhi smiled deliberately with contempt.

"I don't understand. As far as I know, according to the laws of this dynasty, dowry is a woman's private property. Even if a woman dies and is divorced, the dowry can be given to her children or taken back by her parents. It is the same as the principle that it belongs to whoever she marries. May I ask my aunt and mother, did His Majesty modify the law specifically for you two?!"

"laugh."

"Haha."

Even the shop owner and the yamen runners who came with him couldn't help themselves.

Even many servants looked disdainful.

"Who dares to laugh?!"

Liu and Gu Lanzhi were embarrassed, and Gu Lanzhi couldn't help but scold her.

"Well, ladies, when can we pay the money to the shop, we can go back and report back earlier."

The shopkeeper stopped laughing and couldn't help but say.

"Money, money, money. You merchants and lowly people have a head full of copper smell and only care about money. You are useless to the Marquis' Mansion."

Gu Lanzhi scolded.

"Since it's not a big deal, give it to me immediately, so that I won't taint your mansion with my money-stench."

The shopkeeper's words were thorny and he was obviously unhappy.

"Why are you rushing me? Don't you think anyone knows who ordered you to do this? You are deliberately trying to discredit the Marquis' Mansion."

Gu Lanzhi said this, looking at Pei Jiuniang meaningfully.

"So it's you, Pei. I was wondering why it got so bad. You were not happy about Lanzhi taking your worthless jewelry. You could have told me and I would have told her. But you actually instigated these lowly people to bully your aunt together, causing her to lose her mind. Forget it, forget it. I won't bother with you. Just pay the money and I'll pretend that it never happened."

Liu waved her hands as she spoke, as if she had done Pei Jiuniang a great favor.

Even though the yamen runners and the shopkeeper were knowledgeable and experienced, they were still shocked and their eyes widened.

Pei Jiuniang also laughed out of anger.

"I finally figured out what was going on. My mother blamed me right away, and my aunt didn't treat me well. I was panicked and worried, and I tried hard to think about what I had done wrong to offend the two of them. It turned out that they wanted to show off their power to me first, and then pretend to be doing me a favor, but their intention was to make me pay money to settle the matter."

"you…"

Liu was stunned for a moment when her secrets were exposed.

Gu Lanzhi was speechless.

I can only pretend to help Liu, anxiously, "Mom, Mom, are you okay?"

"I, I am a little..."

"Pei..."

"I guess mother is mad at my aunt?"

"You're talking nonsense..."

"I'm talking nonsense. Didn't my aunt cause trouble again and ask mother to help clean it up?!"

"I…"

"Pei, outsiders are still here. Your aunt's matter is our family's..."

"What mother wrote is wrong. My aunt is now the head lady of the Chu family and has nothing to do with our Gu family. Mother loves her daughter, and I don't care. But I can't drag down the Marquis' Mansion."

"this…"

It can be seen that Liu seems a little shaken.

Gu Lanzhi became anxious.

"Pei, it's obviously you who harmed me, and you even instigated my mother. Just tell me, are you going to pay the thirty thousand taels or not?!"

"30,000 taels?"

Pei Jiuniang was also surprised. She thought Gu Lanzhi had taken at most 1,800 yuan worth of jewelry and had no money left. Unexpectedly...

Then she can't do anything about it.

"What?! You sold the shop without telling us, and the proceeds were more than thirty thousand taels. Do you want to embezzle it?!"

Gu Lanzhi deliberately brought up the matter again, wanting to alert Liu. Sure enough, Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What thirty thousand taels?!"

At this time, Gu Tingzhi heard the noise and came over.
