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

Wang Ju looked at Pei Jiuniang's rising anger, her face turned a little red, becoming even more coquettish, and she swallowed her saliva instinctively.

He is nearly twenty-five years old, but still has no wife.

It’s not that there were no matchmakers coming to my house, but it was just that I was neither high nor low enough.

He was born in the Wang family, although he was not a direct descendant, but he lived a comfortable life because his mother flattered the old lady of the Wang family. Outside, he regarded himself as being born in the Wang family, a family that taught students all over the world, and he had a high opinion of himself.

Naturally, he wanted to marry a daughter of a wealthy family as his principal wife, but which principal wife would be interested in a member of a branch of the family, especially when he was already twenty-five and still only a scholar.

It was only when his cousin Wang Cheng's wife, Liu, found him and promised to help him marry her cousin that he agreed to help.

He was not a completely heartless person. He knew that Liu would not have nothing better to do than to make things difficult for the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, so he asked someone to secretly inquire about it. His mother spent ten taels of silver to find out from one of Liu's personal maids that Liu wanted to alienate the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Pei, and the Marquis Gu Tingzhi.

It is said that after Gu Tingzhi married Pei, he went to the frontier and did not return until five years later. It has been more than a month since he came back, but he has mostly been in the government office. There were rumors outside that they had a bad relationship. In addition, there were rumors that Pei's child was born with congenital deficiencies and was mentally retarded, so Gu Tingzhi even took the child he was raising outside back home.

Now Pei and Gu Tingzhi are at odds, and she wants to prove that Gu Yu is not stupid, in order to make Gu Tingzhi change his mind.

Wang Ju agreed to the marriage just to please Liu, but when he saw Pei Jiuniang, who was still pretty and charming even after giving birth, he felt that it would be better to let him get the marriage than to let the illegitimate son of the Liu family get the marriage.

Although it was rumored that Pei had injured her body during childbirth and might not be able to give birth again, it didn't matter much. He could take in more concubines and the children born would be registered under her name.

Pei must have felt guilty for remarrying and being unable to have children, so he could bring back home those prostitutes from brothels that his mother did not allow him to marry.

He also heard that Pei had many dowry shops and farms, and a huge mansion. If Pei married him, everything would be his, and he would never have to worry about money again.

The more Wang Ju thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and his expression became more and more obscene. He even became bold enough to forget that he was still in the academy and wanted to pull Pei Jiuniang.

But Pei Jiuniang slapped him away.

Wang Ju finally woke up from his dream. Although he was annoyed, he was also a little angry.

In such a short period of time, he had already regarded Pei Jiuniang as the most popular courtesan in the brothels, and he had already formed a preconceived notion in his mind that Pei Jiuniang was his.

He couldn't bear to be slapped in the face by Pei Jiuniang in public.

"What are you doing? A gentleman should use his mouth, not his fists. Madam, why are you acting like a street shrew?"

While Wang Ju scolded angrily, he raised his hand and touched the place where he was hit. He felt pain just now, but now he seemed to smell a faint fragrance.

He knew it must be from Pei Jiuniang. He didn't expect that even though she had been married, she still had the scent of a virgin.

Thinking of this, Wang Ju felt even more itchy.

Pei Jiuniang didn't expect that the slap didn't wake him up, but made him even more arrogant. She wiped the hand that had just touched him with a handkerchief, and threw the handkerchief away in disgust.

"Come here, help me to invite the Marquis, and also, call the steward of the Dali Temple."

Pei Jiuniang calmed herself down and spoke in a deep voice.

Everyone was a little confused. When Wang Ju was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by Pei Jiuniang. She turned around and angrily scolded the servant, "What are you still standing there for?! Someone slandered the reputation of the Marquis's son and defamed my innocence. He even dared to attack me in public. Will the Marquis just ignore it? Go, we must get to the bottom of this matter today! "

With every word Pei Jiuniang spoke, her eyes darkened a little, and there was no trace of joking on her face.

Even though Wang Ju was extremely brave, he became a little scared when he heard that the Marquis and the Dali Temple were coming.

But he put himself in a high position and couldn't bring himself to do it, so he had to wink at Manager Qi. Manager Qi was overwhelmed at the moment, and bowed to Pei Jiuniang with a droopy face, smiling carefully, "Madam, it was originally a small matter. I asked Master Wang to apologize to you, why did you make a big deal out of it? Don't give face to the monk, give face to the Buddha, for the sake of the Wang family..."

"Manager Qi, you keep mentioning the Wang family on your left and the Wang family on your right. How can the Wang family bully our mansion? Not to mention that the Wang family is a family of teachers, saying that they teach and educate people is also giving him some face and praising him. Do you really think that our mansion is easy to bully?!"

Pei Jiuniang winked at the servant, who knew the seriousness of the matter and dared not slack off any longer.

Seeing that Pei Jiuniang was really angry, Manager Qi became anxious and angry. He glared at Wang Ju fiercely, then pulled him in front of Pei Jiuniang and asked him to surrender.

Wang Ju still wanted to curry favor with the brothel, which made Manager Qi furious. "Master Wang, wake up. If things get out of hand, the Wang family won't be able to protect you."

Seeing the livid face of Manager Qi, Wang Ju slowly came to his senses. He gritted his teeth secretly before bowing to Pei Jiuniang and apologetically smiled, "Madam, I have a foul mouth and said the wrong thing. Please don't mind it, Madam."

"Foul mouth?"

Pei Jiuniang took a step back, covered her nose with her sleeve, and sneered, "If you know your mouth stinks, why don't you move forward?"

"You, little bitch..."

"Master Wang, be careful with your words."

Manager Qi was shocked. Master Wang took the wrong medicine today. He actually...

"I broke my promise again, madam. I drank a few more glasses of wine earlier. Please don't mind it." Wang Ju saw that the people around him were looking at him with contempt. He thought to himself that this was not good. He was afraid that the matter would really get out of hand, so he quickly raised his hand and patted himself.

"If you offend Madam Hou, you will be slapped in the face. Madam, how about this? I will discuss your brother Yu's matter with the headmaster and let him stay."

"It seems that it was the headmaster who asked you to speak rudely to my brother Yu. Well, come on, call the headmaster..."

Pei Jiuniang seemed determined not to give up until she found out the truth.

Wang Ju's eyelids jumped. Seeing Pei Jiuniang's serious face, he knew that he had hit a wall today. He had to suppress his anger and continue to smile, "It's not about the headmaster. I was blind and didn't see that Brother Yu was actually a very smart child..."

"Master Wang opens his mouth and says that my brother Yu is stupid and crazy, and denies that my brother Yu is not the Marquis's biological son. Now he suddenly opens his mouth to praise my brother Yu. I think even the most powerful person in the Ministry of Justice cannot make him change his confession so easily..."

"You, I've already apologized, what else do you want?!"

Being humiliated again and again, Wang Ju's face became ugly.

"I didn't say that Master Wang is as fat as a pig and as stupid as a cow. Why is Master Wang angry? What's the matter? Master Wang is angry because he knows himself? Can you blame me? You should blame your mother and your father?"

"You? You scold me, I admit it, but why are you scolding my parents?! My Wang family has given up the court for generations and would rather teach and educate people. How can you do that?"

"I am scolding you because your parents didn't teach you well? What does it have to do with the Wang family? As far as I know, your mother seemed to have been stripped of her honors for cheating, and your mother forced her sister-in-law to have a difficult childbirth. Is such a person worthy of being called a member of the Wang family?"

"You?! Stop talking nonsense and slandering..."

Wang Ju was so angry that he raised his hand to attack Pei Jiuniang, but was stopped in time by Manager Qi.

Wang Ju refused to give in, "She insulted my father and mother, how can I tolerate it?"

"How can my Wang family allow her to be humiliated like this?"

When everyone heard this, no one thought that there was anything wrong with Pei Jiuniang.

"Madam Hou, even if Master Wang's words and deeds were inappropriate and offended you and the young master, you really shouldn't talk about your parents..."

"That's right. The Wang family is the teacher of students all over the world. Whether it's the Imperial College, the capital, or local academies, there are members of the Wang family..."

"That's right. If you offend the Wang family, you will offend all the scholars in the world..."

Seeing more and more people speaking up for him, Wang Ju's anger subsided a little, and he looked at Pei Jiuniang with pride.

Pei Jiuniang did not expect that these people were so unable to distinguish right from wrong. Before, Wang Ju openly teased her, and they did not say anything. Later, when he wanted to attack her, they did not say anything. Now, she was just stating the facts, and they started to criticize her.

She smiled at these people who were preaching, and suddenly realized that the Wang family's children occupied half of the teachers, and that in the future, they would have to rely on the Wang family to study.

Even if they knew that Wang Ju was wrong, they would still be biased for the sake of their own interests.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiuniang smiled.

"Well, what a great Wang family, but is this Wang family fair? Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about this Master Wang in front of you, do you dare to say that your fame is earned by yourself?"

Hearing this, Wang Ju was startled, and instinctively panicked, and then he shouted loudly, "What do you mean? Although I am not talented, I am still a scholar at the age of over 20, but I have studied hard. I just don't want to be an official. I like to teach and educate people. Wait for me..."

"Then do you dare to compete with my son?"

Pei Jiuniang held Yu Ge's hand and said loudly.

"You said my son is a fool. If he can beat you, does that prove that there is someone else who is stupid?"
