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

Pei Jiuniang originally thought that Gu Xijue would move to Liu's courtyard and be with Gu Yuzhi.

But unexpectedly, he only agreed to eat at Liu's house at meal time every day, and on weekdays he still stayed in the small courtyard next to the main courtyard.

He told Liu that he wanted to study hard. Liu was naturally very happy to see him so motivated and hardworking.

Gu Xijue took the opportunity to ask Liu to drive away Nanny Kong.

Liu thought that Gu Xijue couldn't stand her being so attentive to Gu Yuzhi, so she tried to persuade him, "Xijue, you are a boy, so your grandmother will naturally value you more. But if your sister grows up and marries a rich man in the future, it will only be good for you."

Gu Xijue knelt in front of Liu, still insisting that Liu drive away Nanny Kong, and urged her to find a way to hire a female teacher for Gu Yuzhi.

Liu was immediately furious, "What do you know? I asked Madam Kong to teach your sister because I have a use for her. Madam Kong came from the palace. Many wealthy and prestigious families wanted to invite her to their homes to teach their children, but they couldn't. If I hadn't known her before, she would never have agreed to come to our mansion.

Okay, I've decided, don't bother with your sister's affairs anymore."

This was the first time that Liu lost her temper with Gu Xijue.

It was not until this moment that Gu Xijue finally understood what kind of pressure and how much she had secretly endured in her previous life when Pei Jiuniang insisted on sending Nanny Kong away and inviting Master Qin to come.

Seeing that Liu was unmoved, he became anxious and even threatened Liu that he would not continue his studies in the future. Liu, who was so angry, slapped him in the face.

Although Liu regretted it immediately, she hugged Gu Xijue and wiped her tears, "My dear, it's all grandma's fault. Grandma didn't hit you on purpose. Alas, grandma really did it for your brother and sister's good. Don't blame grandma. Well, if you want to study, grandma will support you a thousand times. Grandma has asked someone to help you find out about entering the academy."

Speaking of this, Liu's face looked a little gloomy.

She originally thought that with her status as the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, it would not be difficult to get Gu Xijue into the academy, but she forgot that she was just a concubine who was promoted to the main wife. Those real wealthy families, especially those who claimed to be educated, looked down on her at all.

She encountered setbacks repeatedly.

She had no connections and no relationships, and the maids under her were useless. She asked them to help inquire, but they didn't get any useful information.

Pei Jiuniang has been perfunctory towards her recently. She mentioned it to her several times, but she didn't respond, which made her so angry that she was secretly sulking. Even if she, Pei Jiuniang, was not needed, she would definitely send Gu Xijue to a good academy to study.

I finally found one, but it was out of town.

She was reluctant to let Gu Xijue leave Beijing.

Things got delayed.

But Gu Xijue urged her again, and just when she was getting overwhelmed, it was Nanny Kong who told her that she knew a manager of an academy who could mediate.

What a nice Aunt Kong.

I really don't know why Gu Xijue is so hostile to her.

Thinking back, if it weren't for Nanny Kong's advice, she would never have been able to sit on the position of the mistress of the marquis' mansion by virtue of her son's status.

She never told these old stories to anyone else, so it was no wonder that these children always thought that Madam Kong was a liar who took advantage of her status as an old lady in the palace to deceive people.

Thinking about this, she became more friendly to Gu Xijue, "Brother, just know that I will never harm you. Also, just concentrate on your studies and don't come to Grandma so often. I will have someone send you meals in the future."

Hearing this, Gu Xijue's face tightened, and he looked at his grandmother Liu in disbelief, who was very friendly to him but secretly distant from him.

He didn't know why this happened.

He clearly remembered that in the previous life, although Liu was unwilling to send Nanny Kong away, she finally gave in to Pei.

Besides, his grandmother had always been very kind to him and had never spoken to him in such a harsh way, let alone hit him.

In his impression, although his grandmother was a little stubborn, had little education, and sometimes spoke in a rough manner, she was a very good person.

For the first time, he found his grandmother so strange.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Liu, he wanted to start with Gu Yuzhi.

But when Gu Yuzhi heard this, she pushed him out hard.

"Brother, don't lie to me. I know everything. You just think that grandma values ​​me more than you, so you don't want Madam Kong to teach me. I'm telling you, I won't listen to you. Grandma said that as long as I follow Madam Kong and learn the rules, I can marry into a wealthy family in the future. Don't hinder my future."

Gu Yuzhi said this, no longer willing to look at Gu Xijue again, and stormed away.

Gu Xijue was sent back to the courtyard by Liu's people.

I don't know if it was Liu's instruction, or if the subordinates were used to making their own assumptions and were not fully committed to him.

For several days, Gu Xijue stayed in the yard and did not go out.

When Pei Jiuniang heard Cuiping mention Gu Xijue, she was also slightly surprised.

I didn't expect that it still didn't make any progress.

He actually thought that he could persuade Liu with just his mouth.

She also remembered how much effort she had put in in her previous life to prevent Liu from leaving behind the scourge of Nanny Kong.

He thought that since Liu valued him, he could shake Liu's power.

But he didn't know that no matter how much Liu valued him, she loved herself more in the end.

What's more, Nanny Kong has the leverage over Liu.

In her previous life, she sent Nanny Kong away, but was threatened by Nanny Kong to tell everyone what Liu had done.

It was then that she realized that her mother-in-law, Liu, had done so many evil things.

For the sake of Gu Tingzhi and the Marquis' Mansion, she chose to bribe Madam Kong to suppress the matter.

But Madam Kong was insatiable. Over the years, she spent several thousand taels of silver to cover up the bad things Liu had done.

Without her to protect him in this life, what does she think Liu will do?

Since she was reborn, she has thought about revenge.

But she is not such a cruel person after all.

But she didn't expect that even if she did nothing, they would lose their composure on their own.

Come to think of it, she really did too much in her previous life.

The more you do, the more people hate you, and the more miserable your end will be.

In this life, she would do nothing but wait and see what kind of end they would have.

...

A few days later, it was the day that Gu Tingzhi had agreed to take the mother and son to visit Imperial Physician He.

Early in the morning, she woke up Brother Yu.

When she prepared the gift for Imperial Physician He, she couldn't find Brother Yu anywhere.

At this time, the servant who followed Brother Yu came to report hurriedly, "Madam, it's bad, the young master is fighting with Master Xijue next door."

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, then hurried over under the guidance of the servant.

When we arrived at the yard where Gu Xijue lived, we saw Brother Yu fighting with Gu Xijue.

Brother Yu is much shorter than Gu Xijue, but he has been doing horse stance to improve his physical fitness recently, and he has also practiced some tricks with Gu Tingzhi, and he can actually fight Gu Xijue to a draw.
