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

After leaving the small courtyard, Gu Tingzhi strolled around the mansion and returned to the courtyard where Pei Jiuniang and Gu Yu lived.

For fear of alarming the people in the yard, he climbed over the wall, avoiding people all the way and finally went outside.

It was already dark at this time, and the lights were turned on in the house. The figures of Pei Jiuniang and Gu Yu were reflected on the paper windows.

Looking at the mother and daughter snuggling together, Gu Tingzhi felt warm in his heart.

It’s a pity that I can’t hear what the people in the house are saying.

After thinking for a while, Gu Tingzhi flew onto the roof. With his tall stature, he walked on the roof as if it were flat ground. He quickly found a tile, gently took it away, and saw the mother and son sitting in front of the desk in the house.

Pei Jiuniang wrote a few words, and Gu Yu clapped his hands in joy. Pei Jiuniang looked at Gu Yu with loving eyes. When Gu Yu was writing, Pei Jiuniang would occasionally grab a piece of cake and stuff it into Gu Yu's hand. Gu Yu kept working with his mouth slightly open. Once, he almost bit Pei Jiuniang's finger.

Watching the quiet and sweet interaction between mother and son, Gu Tingzhi actually felt a desire. He wished he could join in on the fun.

But he knew that the mother and son had a grudge against him.

Things had been getting better, but because of what happened today, the mother and son seemed to have shut him out again.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingzhi gently put the tiles away and flew away.

Who could have thought that the iron-blooded general, who remained calm in the face of hundreds of enemies, would actually hide away secretly to see his wife and children to relieve his longing for them.

In the following days, Pei Jiuniang continued to accompany Yu Ge to school and pick him up after school every day. When she was free, she would go to her dowry shop and look for craftsmen and shopkeepers she was familiar with in her previous life to reopen the previous shop.

At the same time, she also focused her attention on the gunpowder that Wen Rong had mentioned before. In her previous life, she rejected it after Wen Rong described it, always thinking that it was a disaster. But in this life, she wanted to try and see if there would be any changes if she could figure out the formula for gunpowder.

What surprised her most was Gu Xijue.

Ever since she knew that he was also reborn, Pei Jiuniang has kept her distance from him.

If it was just Gu Xijue, she might have hated him less.

But he was back. He was the ungrateful person whom she had poured so much effort into, but who was ultimately let down. She could no longer treat him as an ordinary, annoying child.

Every time she saw him, she couldn't help but hate him.

But she couldn't do anything to Gu Xijue, who had not betrayed her in this life. The only thing she could do was to stay away from him.

Unlike ignoring them before, this time, Pei Jiuniang forcefully drove them out of the yard.

Liu came and made a big fuss again.

They were all blocked by Gu Tingzhi.

Finally, Liu let them live in the small courtyard where Gu Yu had lived before, separated from the main courtyard by a wall.

Well, they should experience what Brother Yu had experienced before.

But Gu Xijue, contrary to his usual behavior, always stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster. No matter how angry she was, he would always wait for her on the road she had to pass with a smile on his face, rain or shine.

Gu Yu was a little worried at first, but later he felt relieved when he saw that Pei Jiuniang only had disgust towards Gu Xijue in her eyes.

Pei Jiuniang, I no longer care about Gu Xijue and treat him as just a nobody.

She probably understood what was wrong with him. Since he had been reborn and knew that she had been reborn, he naturally wanted to beg for her forgiveness so that she could continue to work for him like a slave.

Let him dream his big dream.

She didn't poison him to death because she was afraid of bringing discredit to his brother Yu.

...

Recently, she found that Brother Yu was a little abnormal.

Since going to school, Yu Ge has been very attentive. He goes to school happily every morning and comes back happily. Although he cannot tell his parents about the interesting things that happened in school like other children, he always writes the new words and poems he has learned to show Pei Jiuniang.

After coming back, I will repeatedly review what the teacher taught me.

But recently she found that Brother Yu not only took his time to get up in the morning, but also always had a sullen face when he came back, and he no longer wrote words or poems for her like before.

Since she couldn't get the answer from Brother Yu, she went to ask the little servant.

The little book boy said everything was normal.

At first, she thought it was Gu Xijue's entanglement that made Brother Yu unhappy, so she could only repeatedly hint to Brother Yu, "You are my only child, and it will be the same in the future. I will only treat you well."

Brother Yu would always throw himself into her arms, without saying a word, and hold her tightly with his two little arms.

She thought that after a while, Brother Yu would really let go of his worries and gradually get better.

But on this day, when she went to pick up Brother Yu, she found that his eyes were red.

And there was Zhu Ci. Every time they met before, Zhu Ci would greet her, but recently Zhu Ci would lower his head when he saw her from a distance, and then walk away quickly when he got to her.

Not only Zhu Ci, but others as well.

After a while, Pei Jiuniang began to become suspicious.

But the book boy still insisted that nothing happened.

Pei Jiuniang didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly wanted to find Master Du to ask for clarification. She then found out that Master Du had actually returned to his hometown and said that he had found a vacancy and was recommended by someone. Although he was only a seventh-rank official, he was still a senior official, which was better than being a powerless teacher in the school.

But she was curious about who recommended Mr. Du.

After all, Mr. Du has been missing for many years.

Moreover, as soon as Master Du left, Brother Yu became abnormal, which always made her feel uneasy.

But the book boy couldn't tell her the truth, and she couldn't enter the academy directly.

But she soon figured out a solution.

She donated a batch of desks to the academy in the name of donation, and said that she wanted to see the talents who would be the pillars of the court in the future. The other party was naturally happy to agree as they got the benefits.

She went to the junior class where Brother Yu was according to her memory.

It was the time when the teacher was teaching her. She stood outside the window and listened for a while. At first everything seemed normal.

The Master taught a poem from the Book of Poetry, explained its meaning, and then asked everyone to memorize and write it.

Later, the teacher started to go around among the students with a ruler in his hand. He didn't say anything to other students, even some who were uneducated and only knew how to play. But when he came to Brother Yu, his face changed drastically, and he hit Brother Yu, who was concentrating on writing, on the desk. Brother Yu was so scared that he trembled all over, his little face turned pale, and he looked at the teacher with tears in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but his attitude was still respectful.

"You are stupid and don't work hard. How can you be competent for such a big task?"

The teacher emphasized every word he spoke, and looking at Brother Yu's expression, it seemed as if he was really disappointed in him. Seeing that Brother Yu's eyes were red and he was about to cry, the teacher hit him hard with the ruler a few more times.

"Once a teacher, always a father. I was just admonishing you, but you acted like this. I remember you were the legitimate son of the Marquisate, and your father was a general fighting on the battlefield. You really don't act like his son."

As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged students who had been enjoying the show began to whisper to each other.

"Forget it. A rotten tree cannot be carved. With your talent like this, you may not succeed even if you work hard, not to mention you are so lazy."

After saying this, the Master continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Pei Jiuniang was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Regardless of the faces of his companions, he rushed in immediately, grabbed that damn teacher, and took away his ruler...
