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

The next day.

Gu Tingzhi arrived before Pei Jiuniang and Gu Yu got up.

When Pei Jiuniang and Gu Yu washed their hands, rinsed their mouths, put on their clothes and walked out, they saw Gu Tingzhi sitting at the table. He raised his head when he heard the noise, and nodded and smiled at them.

Seeing that Pei Jiuniang seemed a little surprised, he took the initiative to explain, "I stayed in the yard next door last night, barely making do with my clothes, but I can't go to my mother's for breakfast. Didn't I promise to teach Brother Yu martial arts, and I can't miss it in the morning."

As he spoke, he took a bun and handed it to Brother Yu, then stuffed another one into his mouth. While eating, he said to Brother Yu, "You still have one hour before you go to school. Do some horse stance later, and then I will walk with you to school."

"No, the distance between the mansion and the school takes half an hour by carriage, so we will be too late."

Pei Jiuniang said hurriedly, and added, "Brother Yu is in poor health, so don't force him to grow."

"Well, I've thought about what you said. Don't worry, I'll have someone lead the horse. If Brother Yu is tired, I'll carry him on the horse. As for the book boy, let him take the carriage. I'll finish my work early in the afternoon, and I'll pick up Brother Yu on the way, but I can't guarantee it."

Pei Jiuniang didn't rush to agree after hearing this, but looked at Brother Yu, "What do you think?"

Brother Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he looked up at her hesitantly, "Mother, I want to ride a horse, but I have never ridden before."

"Well, it's just that riding a horse is not as good as riding in a carriage. Be careful not to rub your skinny butt."

Pei Jiuniang deliberately frightened Gu Yu, saying that the little guy was only concerned with having fun and didn't take her reminder to heart at all.

When she was sending the father and son out, Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi came out at some point. They were particularly quiet today, and when they saw her looking over, they quickly shrank back into the house.

Gu Tingzhi didn't notice the episode, he just stared at Pei Jiuniang's extremely pale face, and couldn't help but remind her, "I'm not in charge of the family now, go back to the house and rest more if you have nothing to do."

Pei Jiuniang nodded, thinking that he was just making small talk.

Little did he know that Gu Tingzhi had really taken it to heart. After he finished his duties at the government office, he went to his immediate superior and asked him about a relative of his who worked in the Imperial Hospital. He said that he had a way to help women regulate their health.

Gu Tingzhi seldom asked others for help, and he had solved a big problem for them when he first arrived, and he did not seek credit for it. Therefore, his superior named Zheng remembered it very much. When he heard Gu Tingzhi's inquiry, he immediately promised to help introduce the relative and said that he would personally take the relative to the marquis's mansion when the relative had a day off.

Gu Tingzhi also expressed his gratitude again.

The day passed in a busy manner. Gu Tingzhi asked if there was anything else, so he left the shift, said hello to his colleagues, got on his horse, and prepared to pick up Brother Yu.

In the morning, Brother Yu rode on the horse's back and leaned on his arms. It was the first time for the little guy to ride a horse, and he had only reached the horse's belly, but he was not afraid at all. He was so excited that he seemed to hear Zi Moli calling him daddy, but he didn't hear it clearly and he just thought it was her calling him. The word "daddy" made his heart warm all day.

He suddenly felt that he really missed the little guy.

He decided to pick a pony for the little guy someday and teach him how to ride and shoot arrows, but the little guy had a weak constitution and he thought the woman at home would probably nag him.

It was strange that he would think of them, mother and son, while doing his work.

Today he helped the Ministry of Justice catch a fugitive, who was holding a child hostage. In the past, he would have shot the fugitive without hesitation because he believed in his archery skills. But today, when he saw the frightened look on the little girl's face, he hesitated for a moment and went around behind the fugitive to shoot an arrow. In the end, the fugitive was rescued, and the little girl didn't even know that the fugitive was dead.

Others say he has changed.

He didn't feel it at the time, but thinking back, why did he hesitate then?

It is said that once you have concerns, you can no longer focus on the battle and put life and death aside. He used to feel tied down by women and children, but now, he feels that it is not so bad.

When he arrived at the school, the class had not yet ended, so he tied up his horse and waited until he was attracted by the sounds of a group of children fighting and crying.

Originally, it was common for children to fight, and he didn't bother to care about it, but he seemed to hear a familiar voice, and vaguely heard the words of Marquis' Mansion.

"Beat him, beat him to death..."
