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

After a long while, he finally said a complete sentence, "Sister-in-law, are you still angry from last time? Look at your temper. Well, let's go see mother first. I haven't come to pay my respects to mother for a long time. How is mother these days?"

As he said that, he pulled Pei Jiuniang and pushed her inside.

But Pei Jiuniang pushed him out fiercely, saying coldly, "Mrs. Chu, what you mean is that you have been taking things from my shop for five years for nothing, and you are blaming me for it, saying it is my fault, or am I just being stingy?"

In front of the Marquis's Mansion, people were coming and going, and it was the busiest time.

There has been quite a commotion just now.

Many people stopped to watch.

Although Gu Lanzhi was angry, she still remembered that she came here to ask for help, so she could only try to suppress it and put on a smile, "That's not what I meant. Okay, even if it's my fault, I'll serve you tea later to apologize. Is that ok? Are you really angry with me, your sister?"

What I mean is, I am the leader, so don't be ungrateful.

"That's not necessary. I've suffered for five years because of my blood relatives, and I don't want to care about blood ties. The Marquis's Mansion will always be my aunt's family home. I have nothing to say when my aunt visits my mother. But if you want me to continue to be a scapegoat, I don't want to do that."

"You?!" Gu Lanzhi really couldn't bear it any longer this time and was about to explode on the spot.

Fortunately, Liu pinched him hard from behind.

She just remembered, and desperately pulled the handkerchief in her hand to suppress her temper, and then she spoke again, "You don't care about blood ties, but I can't ignore my nephew."

As she spoke, Gu Lanzhi lowered her head and touched Yu Ge's little face pretending to be friendly, but this frightened Yu Ge so much that he quickly hid behind Pei Jiuniang.

Pei Jiuniang also subconsciously protected Brother Yu, raised her head and stared at Gu Lanzhi, like a mother animal ready to protect her cub at any time.

Seeing this scene, Gu Lanzhi's teeth were about to break, but she could only continue to maintain a stiff smile, "I know everything about Brother Yu, you are just too reckless, after all, you are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, you have an imperial decree, how can you do such a self-deprecating thing?

I have already told this good sister of mine. You should know her. Her husband's family is the Wang family, the same Wang family. Not everyone can get into the Wang family school. It was only after I said so many nice things that my sister agreed to help me get another place. When the time comes, both Brother Yu and Brother Zhou will be able to enter the family school and rely on each other. Don't worry, I have already told Brother Zhou.

My brother Zhou no longer cares about what happened before."

After saying that, Gu Lanzhi raised her head and glanced at the people around her, as if she had done something great.

Some people around couldn't help but exclaim, "Wang family academy? Really? I heard that the Wang family is a century-old family, and the books in the academy are not something that ordinary people can read."

Upon hearing this, Liu and Gu Lanzhi both showed a hint of pride on their faces.

Gu Lanzhi stared at Pei Jiuniang without blinking, waiting for her to burst into tears of gratitude and be humble.

But she never waited.

Not only was Pei Jiuniang not grateful, she sneered instead.

This made Gu Lanzhi and Liu frown unhappily.

Gu Lanzhi even asked directly and unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you pigs with green onions in their noses, thinking you're a real dish."

Pei Jiuniang covered her mouth, as if there was something disgusting in front of her.

Now, Gu Lanzhi and Liu were completely overwhelmed.

Gu Lanzhi shouted at her in a shrill voice, "Pei Jiuniang, what nonsense are you talking about? Wang Family School, do you think any fool can get in? Do you know how much effort I put in to get this? You, do you know what you are talking about? Are you going to delay Brother Yu's future?"

Liu didn't say anything, but it was obvious that she thought so too.

There were also people around who felt that Pei Jiuniang's behavior was inappropriate.

Pei Jiuniang chuckled twice before speaking, "I may have thought it was unattainable before, but since the scholar from the Wang family lost to my son, I no longer think so. That's right, it's not a scholar, but a cheater. The Wang family may have real books and knowledge, but even the children of the Wang family cheated to get fame, so how can we expect them to treat children from other families equally.

By the way, I heard that the Wang family wants to monopolize education and has attacked talented students from other ethnic groups more than once. Sister-in-law, your brother Zhou is also from a scholarly family. Do you really want to send him to the Wang family to study? Aren't you afraid that he will be bullied by the Wang family's children?"

"you?"

Gu Lanzhi blushed when she was refuted by Pei Jiuniang. She had no idea that Pei Jiuniang was so sharp-tongued.

No, she had already experienced it last time.

But then again, she felt that what Pei Jiuniang said was not entirely unreasonable.

She had also heard about how the Wang family's children bullied children from other races, causing talented people from other races to become obscured by the crowd.

Her brother Zhou?

She suddenly took two steps back and felt some regret in her heart.

The Chu family is also a family of scholars.

If her father-in-law and husband hadn't disliked Brother Zhou for being too naughty and refused to teach him personally, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

But no matter what, she only has one son, Brother Zhou, and she would never dare to gamble with him.

Seeing that Gu Lanzhi was about to back out, Liu was filled with hatred and anxiety, so she could only stand up and said to Pei Jiuniang, "Madam Gu, I begged Sister Gu to come to you today. Maybe my Wang family was indeed wrong in the previous matter, but every family can have one or two people who bring disgrace to the family. Even so, Madam Gu is still holding on to the Wang family. She doesn't take to heart the things that the Wang family has done to benefit the students, but she shouldn't be smearing my Wang family like this.

My Wang family is willing to put aside the past grudges and take the initiative to give in. It is not because we are afraid of your Marquis' Mansion, but because we do not want to live in the capital city and serve in the same court, which would hurt both sides and damage the harmony.

Why don't Madam Gu also give in and make peace? Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Liu was worthy of being from the Wang family. She had been influenced by the Wang family and had learned most of their philosophy of life and common rhetoric.

At this moment, she said it herself, and she believed it a little bit.

If Pei Jiuniang continues to persist, she will be really ungrateful.

Let’s see what the people in the capital think of her?

After these words were spoken, the people around them really sensed something was wrong.

"I was wondering if something bad had happened to the Wang family recently? Could it be that someone did it on purpose?"

"Didn't Madam Liu say that it was Madam Hou who deliberately had the news spread?"

"I think what Madam Liu said makes sense. Although Wang Ju is from the Wang family, it is hard to guarantee that there will be someone who is not presentable in any family. Isn't it a bit too much for the Marquis's wife to target the Wang family like this?"

Hearing this, Liu's expression eased slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Gu Lanzhi also came back to her senses and glared at Pei Jiuniang secretly. She almost fell for Pei Jiuniang's trick.

Pei Jiuniang's eyes were fixed on Liu. She didn't have much impression of Liu, but she didn't expect that she was someone who was used to confusing right and wrong.

"Madam Hou doesn't say anything, that's it..."

"What a big hat, what a big basin of dirty water, Madam Liu, you have to provide evidence when you speak. If you can't produce evidence and slander me in the street, I can go to the government office with you to confront me.

By the way, I don’t agree with you about serving as officials in the same dynasty. As far as I know, your Wang family has not held an official position for several generations. How can you talk about serving as officials in the same dynasty?

However, I do know that your Wang family has a rich heritage, but you cannot serve as officials in the court, so you are bound to feel resentful. But what does this have to do with me and the Marquis' Mansion?

My Lord's achievements were earned by risking his life on the battlefield. How can you target and smear my Lord just because you are jealous of His Majesty's kindness to him?

I'm just a woman. When I saw my son being bullied, I couldn't help but fight for it. Is it something I can handle?

My Lord is not here? Are you guys bullying me like this?"

Hearing this, Liu became anxious.

Gu Lanzhi also became anxious.

"Pei, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"And you, Gu Lanzhi, you are the aunt of the Gu family. The Gu family took pity on you for marrying into a government office and helped you a lot over the years. Instead of speaking well of the Gu family, why are you joining others in throwing dirty water on the Gu family?

Do you know what the Marquis will have to endure after such a big hat is put on him? What will the Gu family have to endure?

I know? You have always been unable to distinguish right from wrong, otherwise you wouldn't have said such nonsense to others, saying your own nephew is a fool. But you shouldn't have brought people to discredit your own family just because your brother Zhou went to study at the Wang family. What good will it do you if the Gu family collapses?

"I…"

Gu Lanzhi was stunned by the question and subconsciously looked at Liu. Liu was also panicked. She never expected Pei Jiuniang to be so difficult to deal with. She actually used a trick to force her into a dead end.

"Liu, are you talking? Are you trying to hurt me?"

Just at this moment, Gu Lanzhi went crazy on her again.

"That's enough! If you want to quarrel, go somewhere else. My Gu family is clean and pure, and it's not a place for you to quarrel."

Hearing this, the man on horseback behind the crowd's eyes lit up.

The person who came was Gu Tingzhi, who had just returned after being away for several days.
