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

"enough!"

Gu Tingzhi's face was gloomy, and he finally spoke after Liu spoke.

Liu immediately became proud, "Tingzhi, you didn't want to marry her back then. I was wrong about her. I thought the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor should be well-educated and well-mannered. But who could have thought..."

Liu sighed as she spoke, as if Pei Jiuniang had really done something over the years.

Gu Yu was also frightened by the atmosphere and curled up in Pei Jiuniang's arms and cried softly.

Pei Jiuniang hugged Gu Yu, as if she was back in the past when she was pointed at and scolded for mistreating her adopted son and daughter.

She didn't want to argue. After all, she had argued many times in her previous life, but no one believed her.

But seeing Liu confusing right and wrong, Gu Tingzhi being indifferent and taking sides, and Yu Ge being trembling with fear, she still couldn't help herself.

"Then mother, please tell me what I have done in the past five years to make her unhappy with me and make my grandfather rest in peace in his grave."

Pei Jiuniang's eyes went straight to Liu.

Liu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. In the end, she could only bite the bullet and yell, "You don't know what you did, and you still need me to remind you. You don't mind being ashamed, but I do. I'm ashamed of myself for bringing shame to the Marquis' Mansion and my son."

"I'm not ashamed, I just hope my mother will make it clear."

Pei Jiuniang refused to give in.

"Yes, mother, what did the eldest sister-in-law do?"

Gu Yanzhi was also frightened and shrank his neck.

"Shut up." Liu glared at her youngest son fiercely, shaking with anger. She looked at Gu Tingzhi. She knew that Gu Tingzhi had always been filial to him. She covered her chest and gasped, looking very angry.

But Gu Tingzhi didn't say anything, just stared at Pei Jiuniang with a gloomy look.

Liu knew that this was a sign that her eldest son was getting angry, so she bluffed again.

"Pei, I'm looking at the Master..."

"You don't have to save face for my grandfather. Tell me first. Or did mother say she won't come? Then how about I speak for her?"

Pei Jiuniang was so angry that she smiled instead.

"I am unfilial, disrespectful to my mother-in-law, and jealous..."

"Sister-in-law is not filial enough to mother?" Gu Yanzhi couldn't stand it anymore and muttered softly, "Last time mother was sick, sister-in-law took care of her for half a month without taking off her clothes. Mother had phlegm in her mouth, and sister-in-law didn't have time to ask someone to bring a spittoon, so sister-in-law used her hands..."

Gu Tingzhi's eyes paused.

"Who told you to talk? Shut up." Liu glared at Gu Yanzhi fiercely. Gu Yanzhi was also a little scared by Liu. He shrank his neck like a quail, "It's not..."

The rest of the words were never spoken.

"Pei, I really didn't know you'd become like this. I always thought you were a good..."

"That really disappoints mother, so mother, you can divorce me. You don't have to consider my grandfather's face. My grandfather never saved the Marquis' Mansion. Mother, don't worry about it."

Pei Jiuniang couldn't wait.

"what?!"

Liu felt like she had heard it wrong.

"Mother, I may have really thought about being a good daughter-in-law, a good daughter-in-law, and a good mistress in the past five years, so you have been dissatisfied with me, but I have a clear conscience. I didn't expect that in the end, you would say this about me. My grandfather has been dead for many years, and I am still affected by him. I feel guilty towards my grandfather and I feel guilty towards my mother, so I ask you to give me a divorce letter."

"You? You don't have to. If you change, I will..."

"I don't want to change." Pei Jiuniang sneered and blocked Liu's words.

"I can't do it. I can't work so hard that I'll drag myself down and be pointed at and called useless. I can't watch my own son being pointed at and called a fool by his own grandmother. My mother is loyal and righteous, and I stood in her way. My mother wanted to give the Marquisate to the benefactor's child, but I can't do it either."

"I, I didn't..."

"Mother, are you crazy?! If you really want to give the Marquis' Mansion to them, they are nothing. Brother Yu is not that stupid. I saw Brother Yu learning to write before. He is quite smart. And didn't you say that when Big Brother was a child... Besides, Big Brother is in his prime... Even if things don't work out, don't you still have me? I'm not impotent. Why do you worry about having no one in the Marquis' Mansion? If Big Brother and Sister-in-law want, I will give birth to ten or eight children and adopt them..."

“Bang?!”

Before Gu Yanzhi could finish his words, he was slapped by Liu.

Gu Yanzhi's eyes were red and he was stunned.

Liu was also confused.

"Mother, you beat me for them, are they really yours?!"

"Go away, you bastard, get out of here."

"Get out of here."

Gu Yanzhi was furious. His mother had never hit him in his life.

Actually for them.

Gu Yanzhi, who was furious, glared at Gu Xijue before leaving.

Liu was so angry that she almost suffocated and kept crying out that it was injustice.

After everyone left, Liu took some time to recover. Looking at the frightened Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, she couldn't help but yell at Pei Jiuniang, "You turned a nice family dinner into this, Pei, do you want to piss me off to death?!"

"So my mother still had to give me a divorce letter, so she wouldn't be mad at me sooner or later."

Pei Jiuniang was originally very angry, but when she saw Liu being so angry because of her most favored son, she couldn't help but feel less angry.

retribution.

This is Liu's retribution.

"You think I don't dare, otherwise..."

"If it wasn't for the intention to embezzle my dowry and leave the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion to me, my mother would have already sent me out of the house with a divorce letter."

"I...you..."

Liu was really angry now, her eyes rolled back and she was about to faint. In the past, the two personal maids would have come to support her early.

But Pei Jiuniang had already asked the nanny beside her to stop her, and no one cooperated with Liu, so she fainted halfway and then stood up again.

"Tingzhi, since her heart..."

"Mother, that's enough! When we were children, you didn't like me. I was slow to speak, and you said I might be a fool. You urged my father to give the title to Yan Zhi. Now you are doing the same trick again. I'm just very curious, mother, you are not a kind-hearted person, why are you so different to them?" Gu Tingzhi thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Gu Xijue was a bit like Gu Yanzhi.

But Gu Yanzhi's attitude puzzled it.

"What do you mean? I'm doing this for you, Gu Huan..."

"Mother, what Jiu Niang can figure out, you really can't figure it out. Gu Huan did block arrows for me, but I also blocked arrows for him. If you count it up, it seems that I saved him more times, so the so-called life-saving grace does not exist at all."

"How can it not exist? Our Marquisate will always repay a favor. Besides, he is your brother from the same clan..."

"Mother, you are making me even more confused. Are they really Gu Huan's children?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu was visibly panicked.

Pei Jiuniang also opened her mouth in shock.

Since her rebirth, she has always thought that Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi were Gu Tingzhi's children, but Gu Tingzhi didn't even know?

Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi were also a little confused.

Why did their father change again?

Gu Tingzhi carefully observed Liu's expression, and was more certain that there was something wrong with the two children's backgrounds. "Mother, if you don't tell me, I won't ask any more questions. But, mother, I now know why Jiu Niang insisted on ignoring the family. Mother subsidized the Liu family and almost caused the Marquis' Mansion to be stripped of its title. Mother knelt in front of my grandparents and father and swore an oath. Did mother forget it?!"
