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

Thinking of this, Gu Xijue also became anxious.

He knew the key lay with Liu.

As long as she is willing to side with him and get Gu Yuzhi to acknowledge her, his reputation can be preserved.

But his previous behavior had offended Liu.

Gu Xijue looked at Liu eagerly, and saw Liu holding Gu Yuzhi in her arms. She knelt down with a plop, "Grandma, I didn't lie..."

"elder brother…"

Gu Yuzhi also became anxious.

She didn't understand why Gu Xijue did this.

Did he really see it?

But even so...

She knew that he must have betrayed her on purpose in order to stay with Pei.

Thinking of this, she looked at Gu Xijue angrily and cried to Liu, "Grandma, I really didn't do it. It was my brother who wanted to please the lady..."

"Xijue..."

Hearing this, Liu couldn't help but glare at Gu Xijue fiercely, with disappointment in her eyes.

"Grandma, I really didn't lie. Sister, this is not the first time. I saw her catching birds in the back garden, cutting off their wings, and feeding them to the big white cat you raised..."

Gu Xijue looked at his cold and indifferent sister, and his heart grew colder and colder. If a man does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He should also care about himself.

what?

Liu's face changed suddenly. She suddenly remembered that her white cat had become much more ferocious and violent recently, and its appetite had decreased drastically. She thought that the white cat had secretly eaten the mice, so she ordered the people in the mansion to spread rat poison everywhere, for fear that the white cat would eat mice again.

But the white cat still had a poor appetite and could not eat much each time, or even did not eat at all. Moreover, the white cat had scratched several servants recently, and even she was almost injured by it.

By the way, she had noticed bite marks on the white cat’s body before, but the white cat had always been pampered, so she didn’t think too deeply about it.

Thinking of this, her arms tightened around Gu Yuzhi. She ignored her crying and pushed her away, keeping some distance between them. She asked with a cold face, "Tell me, what happened?"

Gu Yuzhi was startled, her face turned pale and she remained silent, a little flustered.

"Grandma, you don't believe me. Grandma is so good to me. I know that grandma likes white cats... It's my brother. He is jealous of grandma's love for me. He..."

Gu Yuzhi didn't know why Gu Xijue knew so much. She just hoped that her subordinates had been dealt with and there would be no evidence. The worst that could happen to her was that she would be more careful in the future.

She knew Liu's weakness and was about to continue to provoke...

Then Pei Jiuniang's cold voice came over, "Twins, isn't your relationship the best? Why are you standing there blaming each other and making such a fuss?

Well, didn't my mother-in-law say that they are all good kids and the most conscientious ones? We raised them and brought them up, so they must be grateful to us, right?

But why do I feel like they are ungrateful?

Those who grew up with me are stepping on me, let alone us outsiders?

As the saying goes, if you don’t have a biological child, you can’t raise him well. Fortunately, I realized it early…”

Hearing this, Gu Yuzhi's expression froze and she couldn't help but look towards Pei, only to be met with her chilling gaze.

No matter how young you are, you know what Pei means?

No, she didn't want to leave the mansion.

Although Pei didn't like her, and although her grandmother always asked her to learn a lot of things and would be punished if she didn't learn them, she didn't want to leave.

At least in the Marquis' Mansion, she was the envied lady of the master. She didn't have to follow her aunt like before, having no food to eat and being chased for debts.

My aunt was obsessed with studying some weird things all day long, and all the money in the family was spent.

She wanted to eat meat, so her aunt told them to think of steamed bread as meat.

No, she doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore.

Gu Xijue and Liu were also panicked.

Gu Xijue was completely stunned.

He thought Pei wanted to stir up a quarrel between him and Gu Yuzhi, but he didn't expect that she had no intention of letting them go at all.

But there was one thing he thought the same as Gu Yuzhi.

He didn't want to leave either.

Wen Rong, or Wen Wan, the woman who gave birth to them, was not a competent mother at all, and she didn't even want to acknowledge that they were her children.

If they followed her, they would have no food to eat.

He didn't know what to do anymore and could only look at Liu with tears in his eyes, hoping that Liu could think of a solution.

Liu didn't expect that Pei would be waiting for her here.

I never expected these two kids to become so upset.

She felt distressed when she saw Gu Xijue looking at her for help with his pitiful eyes.

"No, it's not as serious as you say. Xijue is the elder brother. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. He just didn't want Yuzhi to make a mistake, so he pointed her out."

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Yuzhi, "Tell me, do you know you are wrong? I know you must be filial, knowing that your grandmother likes white cats, and seeing that it has not eaten recently..."

Hearing this, Gu Yuzhi was a little disappointed at first, then she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak.

She saw Gu Tingzhi walking towards her with a dark face, and her legs subconsciously went weak.

"Where's Xiaobai?"

Gu Tingzhi's voice was not loud, but having been in the army for many years, he had an aura that made people feel intimidated without even getting angry. Gu Yuzhi was so scared that she burst into tears.

Without waiting for Liu to defend him, Gu Tingzhi frowned and asked again, "I'll ask you again, where is Xiaobai?"

Gu Tingzhi might have been a little puzzled before, why Pei Jiuniang was so hostile to these two children. He thought she suspected that these two children had a relationship with him, but he had explained it again and again.

But she still refused to give in.

Sometimes he wondered if she really couldn't tolerate these two children.

But today, after seeing them lying and blaming each other with his own eyes, he finally understood what Pei Jiuniang meant by "You can't tame a child who is not your own."

What is even more puzzling is why Liu insisted on protecting them?

The thought that was suppressed in my mind before popped up again?

Are these two children related to Gu Yanzhi?

"Uncle Gu, I, I didn't mean it. It was Brother Yu who deliberately let Xiaobai scare me that day and almost bit me. Xiaobai also bullied my grandmother's white cat, so I..."

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang couldn't help but sneer.

The laughter made the atmosphere even more eerie.

The words that Gu Yuzhi wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

Gu Tingzhi's eyes darkened again. Looking at the annoying Gu Yuzhi who was crying, he frowned again and asked, "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, people will dig up the ground for me if I stand here..."

Hearing this, Gu Yuzhi shuddered all over.

She was really a little scared.

The maids and nannies serving beside her also looked nervous and could not bear it any longer, so they told her everything.

Fortunately, they were also worried about the consequences, so they did not completely follow Gu Yuzhi's instructions and beat Xiaobai and then throw him to the white cat.

Following the maid's instructions, the group found Xiaobai who was locked in a white cat cage.

Xiaobai huddled in the corner. The white cat must have eaten too much last night and was sleeping soundly.

Pei Jiuniang quickly asked someone to open the cage and rescue Xiaobai.

When Xiaobai saw Brother Yu, he shouted and rushed over.

Brother Yu held it tightly in his arms.

But he soon discovered that something was wrong with Xiaobai.
