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

Manager Qi didn't expect that it was really Master Song who was targeting Gu Yu.

His face flushed for a moment.

Pei Jiuniang ignored Master Song's apology and Manager Qi's attempts to smooth things over, and continued to make the matter worse.

"My brother Yu is a nobleman who speaks slowly. The imperial doctors in the palace only said that he would be well in a few years, but the people in your academy called my brother Yu a fool. Also, Mr. Song just said that if my brother Yu stayed in the class, it would affect your luck. What's the matter? Is our brother Yu some kind of filthy thing? If you don't explain it to me, you have to ask for an explanation even if this matter comes before the emperor today."

"... "

Mr. Song's face turned red, he lowered his head, and dared not say a word.

Manager Qi also realized that the matter was serious. Fearing that he would get into trouble, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly asked others to call the dean and Master Wang.

"Everyone knows that reputation is the most important thing. If you say that casually, my brother Yu will be affected in his future career as an official. Can you afford it?"

"I, I've already said it, Master Wang told me to say this, Madam Hou, Brother Yu, I really know I was wrong, I apologize to you, please forgive me this time, let me go?"

Master Song also realized at this moment that offending the wife and the legitimate son of the Marquis was not something that could be easily covered up.

He hated Wang Ju so much at this moment.

Soon, Manager Qi came over with a chubby teacher. The moment she saw the teacher, Pei Jiuniang understood the reason.

The gentleman's surname is Wang and his given name is Ju. Although his name is Ju, he does not lift anyone. I don't know if it is because of the name that affects him.

This Wang Ju was born into the Wang family, which was one of the most famous scholarly families in Beijing. The family had been studying for generations, and although no one in the Wang family had served as an official in the court in recent generations, they had some reputation in teaching and educating people.

Most of the Wang family’s children worked in the Imperial Academy and various academies in the capital.

Therefore, although Wang Ju was only a scholar, he was able to work as a teacher in this enlightenment academy.

The Wang family seemed to have some discord with the Gu family, and she couldn't tell why. In short, in the few times she dealt with the Wang family in her previous life, Pei Jiuniang always felt that the other party vaguely looked down on the Gu family.

But the cousin of the Wang family is said to be the niece of the old lady of the Wang family. She seems to have some special affection for Gu Tingzhi.

So, it is not difficult to understand what happened today.

Manager Qi pushed Wang Ju to the front and bowed to Pei Jiuniang, "The headmaster is busy and not in the academy. Madam Hou, this is a member of the Wang family, Master Wang, please explain quickly."

Manager Qi specifically mentioned the Wang family because he wanted Pei Jiuniang to keep the matter quiet for the sake of the Wang family and not make a bigger deal out of it.

But after hearing this, Wang Ju felt that the academy had to consider the Wang family. Although the Gu family held power, the current dynasty valued culture over military affairs. Moreover, he heard from the old lady in the mansion that the Gu family was not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Wang family.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Pei Jiuniang with some displeasure, and said with a somewhat arrogant look, "Madam Hou should consider the occasion when she bullies others by taking advantage of her power. Everyone here is a son of an official. No matter how powerful the Marquis's Mansion is, can it be possible that she still wants to cover the sky with one hand?

I told Master Song about your child. It's not a secret. What normal child can't speak well at the age of five? If he can't speak well, and he comes to the academy, won't it delay others? I also observed him for a while before saying this. I also heard that he dared to hurt people with a dagger in the street. If such a person stays in the academy, he will be a threat to others."

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get out of school. Many housekeepers and servants came to pick up the young masters, and some parents who had time came in person. After waiting for a while and seeing no one coming out, they all came in and heard what Wang Ju said.

Those who originally thought that their child was lucky to be classmates with the Marquis's eldest son and were proud of it, all had their faces changed drastically.

If the child was not only stupid but also crazy, they would not dare to send him here.

Brother Yu, who had already calmed down in Pei Jiuniang's arms, began to tremble and his face turned red when he heard everyone pointing and talking at him.

He didn't understand why everyone changed in just a short while.

Why do people say he is a fool? Didn’t my father say that I didn’t talk much when I was a child?

He has worked very hard. Mr. Du used to praise him for his good handwriting and intelligence. Why did everyone become the same again after Mr. Du left?

He is not a fool. He can now write many characters and they are very beautiful.

There are also many poems.

He also speaks better than before.

When he was alone with his mother, he could talk a lot, but...

Thinking of the crowds, he still couldn't say it. He clenched his fists. He wanted to prove that he was not a fool, but he was not sure.

A scene suddenly flashed through his mind. In his dream, his mother always disliked him and despised him.

He suddenly became scared.

Will my mother dislike him like the one in my dream?

He secretly raised his head to lean against A Niang, and saw that A Niang's face was angry, but not disgusted. A Niang realized his gaze and smiled and nodded at him. She also picked him up and looked at the disgusting and smelly teacher, "Wang family, you are so great, you said I bully others by taking advantage of my power? If I really bullied others by taking advantage of my power, I would not let people say that about my son, and I would not be so calm and reason with you when I knew that you deliberately belittled my son and provoked my son!

You keep saying that my son is a fool and crazy. May I ask if you have ever been in contact with my son? Have you seen my son committing a crime with your own eyes? Or are you just hearing it from others? "

As she spoke, Pei Jiuniang took a deep breath, looked at the people crowded at the door, and took a deep breath, "I know there are many rumors in the capital that my son is a fool. I used to think that the mouth is on other people, so I don't care what others say, but today I want to make it clear who is spreading rumors and slandering the prince of the Marquis's Mansion.

Master Wang, let's start with you. Since you insist that my son is a fool and has injured someone in the street, you must not have heard it casually on the street. I think it must have been said by someone with great authority. Tell me who that person is? I want to see who shot my son in the back and slandered the Marquis' Mansion?"

Pei Jiuniang spoke every word in anger but in an orderly manner, leaving Master Wang and the people around him confused.

Everyone has more or less heard that Gu Yu is a fool, but no one has ever thought about who said it?

Seeing Pei Jiuniang looking over, everyone tried to distance themselves from the matter, "Madam Hou, I never said that."

"I do not have either."

...

Pei Jiuniang still stared at Master Wang. Seeing that Master Wang looked a little embarrassed, she pressed him again, "Master Wang, you couldn't have made this up, did you?"

"Of course not, but I can't tell you. Anyway, you don't know your own child. If he is not a fool, why doesn't he speak? I understand that you are angry about giving birth to a fool, but Madam Hou, this is not my fault, don't you think so?"

Wang Ju's words were quite ambiguous. After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Pei Jiuniang. It must be said that this marquis's wife had a unique charm when she was angry.

Some people have already reacted. The woman blushed with shame, while the man smiled secretly at Pei Jiuniang and looked her up and down.

Pei Jiuniang was shaking with anger, and Brother Yu in her arms also tensed up.
