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

"Thief, you are a thief..."

While Pei Jiuniang was stunned, Brother Yu actually pressed Gu Xijue to the ground, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands. He seemed to be stimulated by something, and his eyes were red and full of resentment.

Gu Xijue seemed to be able to resist, but for some reason, he lost his strength. His originally stubborn face suddenly became aggrieved, his big eyeballs rolled down, and his voice was hoarse and aggrieved.

"I didn't, I didn't..."

"You have, you are a thief, or a liar..."

Seeing that he couldn't resist, Brother Yu punched Gu Xijue in the face, but Gu Xijue dodged it.

Pei Jiuniang saw that Gu Xijue could have pushed Gu Yu away if he had used more force, but he just avoided her fist, looked at her in a daze.

There was grievance and complaint in that look.

This scene suddenly made her think of a possibility.

Pei Jiuniang's heart sank and she understood everything in an instant.

This is a show of goodwill, but also a show of weakness, and he wants people to think that compared to Gu Yu, he is the weak one, the one who is bullied and needs sympathy.

What a familiar scene.

In her previous life, he occupied her heart little by little, making her think that Brother Yu was a violent and hopeless child.

It was just a rebirth, why did he think she was still a fool.

"Brother Yu, let go."

Pei Jiuniang gave Caifeng and Cuiping a look, but they seemed not to hear her. Pei Jiuniang knew that they were proud that their young master had the upper hand, and probably felt relieved.

She was so angry that she had to go forward herself, but as soon as she put her hand on Brother Yu, he shook her off with red eyes.

She seemed to be hurt by the pain in Brother Yu's eyes, and she unconsciously took a step back.

"Brother Yu..."

"I said he was a thief...he..."

Brother Yu choked up. He hated himself for not speaking clearly and hated his mother for not trusting him.

He had a dream last night. In the dream, in order to make his mother like him, he worked very hard to learn calligraphy, compose poems and write articles. Finally, he wrote a few poems that he thought were good, and also wrote an article that he was very satisfied with.

He excitedly planned to give it to his mother on her birthday. His mother would definitely not think he was stupid, and maybe she would like him as much as she liked Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi.

But before he even waited for A Niang's birthday, he heard the servants in the mansion talking about it, "Have you heard? Master Xijue's article was even praised by the Imperial College, and Miss Yuzhi's poem made her the most talented woman in the capital. The old lady and the lady are so happy that they are going to hold a big banquet and send invitations to the wealthy families in Kyoto."

His heart sank and his hands clenched unconsciously. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the maid mutter a few words and said that it belonged to Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi.

No, that was clearly his. He had put a lot of effort into making it for his mother's birthday.

He ran angrily to find A Niang, who was with her grandmother Liu. They were all very unhappy to see him.

He finally mustered up the courage to tell them, stumbling over his words, that it was his and that he had written it.

Grandmother Liu sneered, "Are you saying that Xijue and Yuzhi plagiarized you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Are you worthy? All right, come, take him away. I get angry when I see him. I think Brother Yu's madness is getting worse. The banquet will be held in a few days. Don't let him ruin everyone's mood and make people laugh at our mansion for no reason."

He was trembling all over and looked at his mother with red eyes, but his mother, Mrs. Pei, just nodded slightly to his grandmother, Mrs. Liu, and then looked at him with some displeasure and disappointment. Finally, she had him taken away in disappointment and forbade him to come out recently.

He was locked up in the most remote courtyard of the mansion. The servants looked down on him and fed him the worst food, which was sometimes even rotten.

Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi even brought their servants to laugh at him...

Although it was a dream, for some reason he felt as if it had really happened.

When he woke up in the morning, he touched his face unconsciously and found that he had cried.

But when he looked at his mother who doted on him and treated him well, he still didn't say anything, thinking that it must be just a dream.

But after he woke up, he couldn't find Xiaobai anywhere. He panicked. A servant told him that he saw Xiaobai running to Gu Xijue's yard.

He hurried to find her, but Gu Xijue denied it and said to him, "Do you know that everything you have now is mine..."

With a humming sound, Brother Yu suddenly remembered that Gu Xijue had also said this in his dream.

And there was Gu Xijue in the dream, who once falsely accused him of killing the white cat raised by his grandmother Liu.

He said he didn't do it, but Liu still had people beat him. He looked at A Niang pleadingly, but A Niang just had red eyes and didn't plead for him, nor did she trust him.

Thinking of this, Brother Yu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he was even more certain that it was Gu Xijue who hid Xiaobai, and might have done something bad to Xiaobai.

When he thought that Xiaobai might be treated the same way as the white cat in his dream, Brother Yu could no longer remain calm.

He was certain that Xiaobai must have been harmed by Gu Xijue, just like he had harmed his grandmother Liu's white cat.

He couldn't control himself and wanted to force Gu Xijue to tell him the whereabouts of Xiaobai, but somehow he ended up fighting with Gu Xijue.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear Gu Xijue say provocatively, "It was me who harmed your Xiaobai. If you have the guts, kill me..."

He just lost his mind...

When he came to his senses, he saw his mother Pei standing there.

He suddenly panicked.

The scene in my mind overlaps with the scene in my dream...

He knew that everything was over. A Niang must think that he was a bad person, not only because he beat people, but also because he was crazy...

But that's obviously not the case.

Brother Yu's eyes were red and he shook his head frantically. He wanted to explain, but he was tongue-tied...

In my sight, the image of A Niang Pei became more and more blurred, and I don't know when it became the same as in my dream.

In his ear, Gu Xijue was still mocking and provoking, "Do you know how miserably your stupid dog cried when it died in my hands? But I covered its mouth tightly, and it just died little by little..."

Gu Yu had a splitting headache and could not see anything clearly. He only remembered Gu Xijue's provocative words. He seemed to see how Xiaobai's life was strangled bit by bit by Gu Xijue.

The helplessness of being slandered and the pain of losing Xiaobai are intertwined.

In an instant, he seemed to have become Xiaobai.

Gu Xijue was the executioner who killed him.

When Pei Jiuniang came to her senses, she saw that Brother Yu had lost his mind and was grabbing Gu Xijue's neck tightly. Gu Xijue's face turned purple, and he looked at her pleadingly and helplessly, and opened his mouth to her, "Mother, save me?"

Pei Jiuniang was stunned, watching this scene. She was dazed for a moment, but she still raised her hand to pull Brother Yu off Gu Xijue.

She, she can't let Brother Yu make a mistake.

But Brother Yu obviously misunderstood her. He stared at her with red eyes, and his eyes were strange and desperate.

She was stunned for a moment, and wanted to go forward to hug Brother Yu and comfort him, but Brother Yu pushed her away fiercely, "You, go away, you are not my mother..."

"Brother Yu, it's not..."

Pei Jiuniang opened her mouth to explain, but was startled by Gu Xijue who suddenly rushed over and hugged her thighs.

"Mother, I knew you wouldn't ignore me, mother..."

Pei Jiuniang was stunned. She pushed Gu Xijue away as soon as she reacted. However, she still saw her brother Yu trembling with sadness and distress, and her heart ached with distress.

"Brother Yu, don't cry. Crying won't solve anything. Tell me, what happened?"

She knew that Brother Yu would not have taken action without reason. She remembered Brother Yu saying that many things were deliberately provoked by Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi.

She looked at Brother Yu, and glanced at Gu Xijue. Sure enough, she saw a flash of pride in Gu Xijue's eyes.

how?

Did he think that if he provoked Brother Yu, she would give up her own son and accept him, an ungrateful person, again?
