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

Pei Jiuniang rushed to the skinny little person, squatted down, and was about to hug the person in her arms, but she scared the skinny little person.

It was not until Gu Yu struggled desperately in her arms and made a whimpering sound that she realized that her momentary excitement might have scared the child.

After all, Brother Yu didn't grow up with her and was not close to her.

Her sudden behavior might be a little scary for the children.

She hurriedly loosened her arms around Brother Yu, but was worried that Brother Yu would take the opportunity to run away, so she tried to loosen her arms while suppressing her tears and said to him as gently as possible, "Brother Yu, I am your mother, your mother. I was wrong in the past and ignored Brother Yu. I know I was wrong. Brother Yu, can you forgive me?"

Not getting a response, she continued to let go and took the opportunity to hold Brother Yu's small and dirty hand and captured his little face. Her Brother Yu had not been infected with smallpox yet. Although he looked thinner than other children of the same age, he was very handsome. His facial features were somewhat similar to Gu Tingzhi. No, his nose, mouth and eyebrows were all like Gu Tingzhi, but his eyes were like hers.

This was her child, the child she had carried for ten months and gave birth to. She had owed him something, but he had never owed her child anything.

She looked at him, and another face full of pits and thinness automatically appeared in her mind. For a moment, her heart was filled with a myriad of emotions, and she subconsciously wanted to hug him again.

But Brother Yu took the opportunity to slip out from under her arm, ran a few steps away, then stopped, looking at her timidly and strangely, his eyes full of indifference and confusion.

Pei Jiuniang's heart suddenly sank, accompanied by a trace of pain.

Her brother Yu didn't recognize her and looked at her as if he was a stranger.

"Madam, the young master is already five years old, but he doesn't even recognize his own mother. No wonder people outside say..."

Realizing what two words Mother Wang would say, Brother Yu frowned and looked like he was about to cry.

Pei Jiuniang saw it and felt both pain and hatred.

Without waiting for Mother Wang to continue, she yelled at her with a sharp look in her eyes, "Shut up, did the Marquis' Mansion give you this mouth so that you can criticize the master?"

Perhaps because she had never seen her get angry before, Mother Wang was stunned for a moment, and her face turned pale for a long while.

Pei Jiuniang was too lazy to explain to her and drove her away with a cold face, "Is there anything else, Madam Wang?"

"No, no more. The old lady asked me to send the person over... Well, I'll leave now." Mother Wang said as she carefully glanced at Pei Jiuniang. Seeing that she still had a cold face, she was surprised but said nothing and left.

Before leaving, she looked at Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi again, wanting to tell them something, but in the end she said nothing.

Pei Jiuniang's mind was all on Gu Yu, and she didn't pay much attention to Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi, and went straight after Gu Yu.

At present, Gu Yu had not moved out yet and was living in her yard. She was only a few steps away, but just as she was about to knock on the door, her hand dropped again.

It would take time for Brother Yu to accept her, and in Brother Yu's eyes, she had changed so much that it might be scary.

Come little by little.

Pei Jiuniang thought about it and turned around, and saw the brother and sister Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi standing not far behind her, staring at her in a daze, as if waiting for something.

She immediately thought of her past life, when her mother-in-law Liu sent them to her. As soon as she saw them, she was moved by their patched coarse clothes and timid eyes. Even though she didn't like Liu forcing her to raise them, she didn't say anything and let Lai Mama help them settle down. Later, the two children acted well-behaved and sensible under her eyes. She felt that the two children regarded her as their mother and devoted all their motherly love to them.

But I didn't expect that all this was fake.

Now that she knew the truth, she looked at them again and realized something was wrong.

Although their clothes were torn, they were obviously ill-fitting, and they looked very fair and tender, and did not look like they had been abused at all. It seemed that a master was secretly guiding them to appear like this to make her soften her heart.

And the look that originally made her feel pitiful now seemed more like it was full of scrutiny and calculation.

She felt that she had been extremely stupid in her previous life, which was why she was fooled by such a crude trick.

"Someone, take them to Zhilan Garden."

"Madam, didn't the old lady say?"

"Is it the old lady who gives you your monthly allowance?"

With just one sentence, everyone was shut up.

She was also stupid. She clearly held the lifeline of the mansion in her hands, but she was being controlled by others. In this life, she had to make good use of everything in her hands to protect the people she should protect.

The two children seemed to want to talk to her, but she didn't give them the chance and hurried away from them with the maid and the nanny.

As they walked, Pei Jiuniang muttered, "Brother Yu loves to eat the fruits from Ruyizhai the most. I have to go buy some for Brother Yu myself before it gets dark."

This was what she owed Brother Yu. In his previous life, Brother Yu had said in person in front of her grave that he envied her for sending people to buy Ruyizhai fruits for Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi before dawn every day.

"Mother? I want to..." Gu Yuzhi mustered up the courage to shout to her, but was so frightened by Pei Jiuniang's somewhat cold eyes that she couldn't say the rest of the words.

"I am not your mother."

"But grandma said you are..." Gu Yuzhi's voice was timid, with a slight tremor. If you didn't know, you would think she had done something to her.

“Then you go find her. I only have one son, and I have to hurry and buy him the fruit he likes.

Now that we are at this point, I have to give you a few more words of advice. Although I promised to adopt you, I have not promised anything else. The mansion takes in a lot of people every year, and there are many things to do. Please don't disturb me if you have anything to do."

Although these words were spoken to them, they were actually just a reminder.

Sometimes an attitude or a word can determine a person's fate.

She doesn't need to do anything herself.

Naturally, someone came up with the idea of ​​saving her and did it for her.

After saying this, Pei Jiuniang left.

The others who originally wanted to rush to serve also had a sullen attitude. They whispered something and then left.

In the end, no one even came forward to take them to Zhilan Garden.

Gu Yuzhi insisted on going to find her grandmother, but the mansion was so big and without anyone to lead the way, they had no idea how to get back.

In the end, it was Gu Xijue who stopped a servant, quoted Pei Jiuniang's original words, and took them to Zhilan Garden.

But they didn't expect that it would take them half an hour to reach Zhilan Garden.

When she saw Zhilanyuan, who was slightly poor, Gu Yuzhi could no longer hold back and burst into tears, clamoring to go to her grandmother to seek justice.

Gu Xijue remained silent, his eyes emitting a strange and weird light, and without saying the last word, he began to clean up.

……

Pei Jiuniang took her maids and servants out of the house and headed straight for Ruyizhai. Unfortunately, she was still a step too late as Ruyizhai was about to start proofing. In the end, she had to use her status as a marquis's wife and spend some silver to force the confectioner to make an extra portion.

She held the hot fruit in her hands and went straight back to the Marquis' Mansion without delaying for a moment.
