Before Gu Tingzhi could open his mouth to comfort her, Gu Yuzhi cried even harder, sobbing as if her parents had died, which was really annoying.

Pei Jiuniang didn't want them to affect Yu Ge's appetite, so she had to call the old nanny and the servant to serve him. Only then did she find out that Liu had replaced the people who served them, and the current ones were all capable people around Liu.

It's just different.

These people had all received Liu's instructions, so naturally they treated Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi as the real masters. When they saw Pei Jiuniang, Gu Yu and Gu Tingzhi's family of three sitting down to eat, and the two little masters, Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, standing alone by the door frame with their eyes wide open, one of them lowered his head and said nothing, and it was obvious that he had been wronged, while the other was crying and wiping his tears as if his parents had died, they immediately wanted to make a few rebuttals.

Before he could even open his mouth, he heard Gu Tingzhi slap the table and said, "Why are you crying? If you feel wronged by staying here, pack up and move out."

These words scared Gu Xijue so much that he looked up, and Gu Yuzhi stopped crying.

The mothers and maids didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly pulled the two children away.

Moving away is impossible.

Gu Xijue returned to the room and thought for a long time. He couldn't figure out why things were different from his previous life.

It was obvious that in the previous life, Pei liked them very much, but she looked down on Gu Yu.

Why has everything changed in this life?

There is also Gu Tingzhi. When he came back from the previous life, he heard what his grandmother said about Pei's harsh treatment of them, so he went to scold Pei. From then on, Pei treated them more attentively, even to the point of being cautious.

And at this time, Pei was already planning to help him hire a famous teacher.

The more Gu Xijue thought about it, the more confused he became.

Gu Yuzhi, however, clamored to go to her grandmother's house. She didn't understand why her grandmother insisted on letting her stay in this yard. Pei was also blind, treating a fool as a treasure. She missed her aunt so much, why didn't her aunt come to see her?

She remembered what her aunt said, that once their names were officially included in the family tree and recorded under the name of the marquis's wife, she could enter the mansion as their aunt to take care of them. But now Pei and Gu Tingzhi would not agree. When could she see her aunt?

Fortunately, the previous cook had been scolded by my grandmother and knew to prepare a few meat dishes for them.

Although they bought a lot of things with their grandmother and ate a lot of delicious food during the day, they basically didn't eat at night.

We are all hungry now.

It was all Pei’s fault. She readily agreed to let them register under her name, and she even made my grandmother angry.

Humph.

Even if she figured it out, she would not treat her as her real mother.

Looking at the food brought by the cook, Gu Yuzhi licked her lips. She was so hungry that she was about to eat, but suddenly she remembered the table where Gu Yu was eating. Her face suddenly turned flat and she dropped her chopsticks in anger.

"Miss, what's going on?"

Seeing this, the little maid quickly bent down to pick it up, wiped it clean on her body, and handed it to Gu Yuzhi.

"..." Gu Yuzhi wanted to continue making trouble, but was glared at by Gu Xijue, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat."

After saying that, Gu Xijue picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing her brother's serious expression, Gu Yuzhi was really hungry. She sniffed, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and started eating.

Gu Xijue was thinking while eating. All the things in the two lives went through his mind, and he actually figured out some things.

...

Not only did the little episode not affect the appetite of the family of three, but it also made Gu Yu less wary and hostile towards Gu Tingzhi.

Seeing his son picking up the chicken leg he had picked up and eating it, Gu Tingzhi's heart was filled with joy, and he hurriedly picked up some more for Gu Yu.

If Gu Yu didn't like some of the food, he would not eat it and would push it aside with his chopsticks. But if he liked some of the food, he would eat it till he finished it.

Seeing this, Gu Tingzhi tried to please him by bringing all the food that Gu Yu liked but was out of reach to him.

Finally, Gu Yu gave her a long gaze and a faint smile.

Gu Tingzhi's heart suddenly felt warm.

He ate very little throughout the dinner and was always busy picking up food for Gu Yu or staring at Gu Yu while he was eating.

The more I look at it, the more I feel it is my own kind.

It's exactly the same as when he was a kid.

Thinking about how Liu pointed at Gu Yu and called him a fool today, it also reminded him of the time when Liu called him heartless and unfilial when he was a child.

Since childhood, he has never been able to speak and please his mother like Gu Lanzhi and Gu Yanzhi, and his mother has also disliked him since childhood.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to do it.

He thought his mother probably liked him to say nice things more than to do things silently, so it was reasonable for his mother to say that he was unfilial and disliked him.

After all, it was he who failed to satisfy his mother.

But seeing his son being scolded by his mother again, he suddenly felt very angry for some reason.

Especially when he saw that Pei Jiuniang never disliked Gu Yu, and even defended Gu Yu when Liu scolded Gu Yu, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

Why couldn't his mother treat him the same way as Pei did to Yu Ge?

Why did Pei never dislike Brother Yu, but Liu did? And now she also dislikes Brother Yu.

Why was it that, in order to continue the glory of the Liu family, he went to fight in the battlefield when he was less than thirteen, fighting for glory for the Marquis's Mansion and imperial decrees for the Liu family, but he could never get a word of "good son" from her, but always heard her complaints.

Complaining that he couldn't always be by her side to show filial piety, complaining that his wife, Pei, was unfilial, and now complaining about his son? !

Gu Tingzhi just couldn't figure it out.

When Pei Jiuniang returned, there was still a smell of medicine on her body.

He remembered that someone had mentioned that she was in poor health and needed to take medicine every day.

When I came back this time, I also noticed that she sometimes showed fatigue between her brows.

On the way back from Liu's yard, he saw that she was holding Yu Ge, who was as thin as a little chick, and she was a little unsteady in her strength. Several times, he wanted to take him over, but seeing how tightly she was protecting Yu Ge, he had to give up.

It wasn't until she nearly fell that he found his chance.

Thinking of the feeling of him hugging her slender waist, he suddenly felt a little unnatural.

After five years, he could still remember the feeling of holding her in his arms.

He actually missed her a little.

He was not a man who was greedy for women. Over the years, countless people had tried to get into his tent, but he chased them all away.

But he actually had some thoughts about his first wife.

"Brother Yu, don't eat too much."

Pei Jiuniang's harsh rebuke of Brother Yu scared away all the fantasies in Gu Tingzhi's mind.

When he raised his head, he met Pei Jiuniang's angry face. Gu Tingzhi, who was fearless, was actually a little at a loss.

You Pei Jiuniang turned her gaze to his face and glared at him angrily, "I asked you to watch him, and you spoil him?"

"I…"

Gu Tingzhi was confused about the situation for a moment and didn't know what he had done wrong. His flushed face was full of confusion.

Pei Jiuniang glanced at him again, perhaps remembering that it was his first time taking care of Brother Yu, so it was understandable that he didn't know Brother Yu's situation. She was indeed a little too anxious just now, so she suppressed her anger and tried to calm herself down. "Brother Yu is weak and prone to food accumulation. I always control him and don't allow him to eat too much... Today he ate more than twice as much as usual. He will have a stomachache soon and won't be able to sleep again."

As she spoke, she walked over, lifted up Brother Yu's clothes, gently placed her hand on Brother Yu's belly, pressed a few times, and immediately frowned.

"I don't know...what should I do?"

Gu Tingzhi also became anxious, remembering that he had been constantly picking up food for the child and the child was happy when he finished eating. He didn't expect that he was actually harming the child.

He remembered that Pei Jiuniang did seem to say something when she left, but he was so immersed in the joy that the child was willing to accept him that he didn't pay any attention at all.

"Mother, don't blame him, don't blame him, it's me who is greedy."

Brother Yu saw the arrogant Gu Tingzhi being scolded by his mother, and somehow he found it funny. This scene was something he had never seen in his dreams.

The father in his dreams always had a stern face and seldom smiled. He seldom saw him. When he occasionally saw him, it was always at his grandmother Liu's house. Liu would scold him and his mother, but he never resisted. He didn't know why the father was different from the one in his dreams, but he liked the father he had now.

Moreover, he felt that his father was a little pitiful.

He was still a little afraid, afraid that his father would be angry with his mother, and afraid that he would no longer protect his mother in such a rage.

His mother was in poor health and was already very tired from taking care of him. The teacher said that children must be filial, so he would respect his parents in the future. But if his father did not protect him and his mother, he would not want to respect his father.

But then others would say he is unfilial.

He thought about it for a long time and felt that he couldn't let his father get angry and leave.

"You still know it's your fault, punishment..."

"It has nothing to do with the child. Children are always greedy. Otherwise, I will take Brother Yu to practice martial arts. This way, he can digest the food and it will not be so easy to have indigestion."
