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

Pei never imagined that Liu could go so far as to be so outrageous.

Even though she had suppressed her anger again and again, she couldn't hold it in.

Ignoring Gu Yuzhi who was pushed down in front of her and knelt down crying and kowtowing, she retreated with a cold face, "Mother wants to raise an ungrateful person, don't drag me into it. I have my biological brother Yu, and mother knows that he is in poor health. I don't have the energy to care about outsiders."

"How can Yuzhi be an outsider? Once you register her and Xijue under your name, they will be your own children. Children are bound to make mistakes. I have already said that you can discipline them as you wish. I believe that you can definitely raise them into talented people."

Liu seemed to be unable to see the anger and disgust on Pei Jiuniang's face, and kept pushing the two children towards Pei Jiuniang.

"Mother, what you said is really funny. Even if I, Pei Jiuniang, can't have children anymore, it's not like the Marquis and my uncle can't have children either. Even if they can't have children, the Gu family is so big that they can't pick out two good children. Is there any need... I have said these words to mother many times, and mother has forced me again and again...

They told me before how good they were, but now, their behavior is seen by their mother. Is it because she is old that she can't see it? Or is it that she knows but pretends not to know?

In the past, I thought my mother was kindhearted and took them in, but now I am increasingly puzzled as to why she wanted to keep them, even though she knew they were ungrateful, had questionable character, and might even cause trouble in the future.

"That's right, mother, who are they to you? Could it be..."

Gu Yanzhi also chimed in.

Although Gu Tingzhi said nothing, his calm eyes and brows clearly showed that he was beginning to doubt.

Liu couldn't help but spit, "If you don't want to, then don't want to. Why do you have to blame others? And you, Gu Yanzhi, do you want to piss me off to death? You slander your mother's innocence. I think you are just itching for trouble?!"

Liu was afraid that if she continued to insist, it would arouse suspicion.

It would be bad if Pei Jiuniang and Gu Tingzhi knew that Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi were Yan Zhi's children.

Yan Zhi hasn't even married yet, but there are rumors that he has an illegitimate child. Which lady from a wealthy family would be willing to marry him? !

Besides, of the two children, she cares more about Xijue.

Yuzhi is her granddaughter, and she loves her, but she is ultimately not as good as Xijue.

"It's obviously the mother's own actions that are unfair and arouse suspicion."

Gu Yanzhi muttered softly.

Liu glared at him fiercely, then thought of something and said to Pei Jiuniang, "I'll take a step back on Yuzhi's matter, but you have to take care of Xijue's matter for me. Also, I'm old and it's hard for me to take care of Yuzhi. Xijue is sensible. You have to teach Brother Yu anyway, so why not let Xijue follow and listen. When Xijue goes to the Wang family to learn, it will also bring honor to the Gu family."

In the end, I still can't get rid of it.

Pei Jiuniang was helpless.

She glanced at Gu Xijue, and her heart tightened when she saw him looking at her expectantly.

In her previous life, she hired the best teacher for Gu Xijue, but he still had to rely on Brother Yu's articles to attract attention.

Could it be possible in this life?

Yeah.

Only when he saw Brother Yu’s excellence with his own eyes did he know his own worth.

After thinking it over, Pei Jiuniang did not agree immediately, but still acted embarrassed, "It's not impossible, but I have to say that I can only sit in on the class. As for how well you learn, it has nothing to do with me. Also, I don't want to be disturbed."

While speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Yuzhi had already climbed up and stood beside Liu.

When she swept him, he subconsciously trembled and grabbed Liu's clothes.

Liu sighed. She knew that what Gu Yuzhi had done would make Pei Jiuniang completely disgusted with her, so what?

"Just let Xijue listen in. How she learns is none of your business..."

Having said that, she felt in her heart that Gu Xijue was definitely much more talented than Gu Yu. Gu Yu was just taught by Pei Jiuniang, but Xijue had been self-taught and was already so outstanding.

She seemed to have seen the day when Gu Xijue rode on a tall horse and won the top prize, trampling Gu Yu under his feet.

"As for Yuzhi, don't worry, she will only stay with me in the future. I won't let her go out and disturb you."

"Mother, please make your words clearer. After all, Gu Yuzhi has made such a big mistake. I don't think it's appropriate for her to continue to be the eldest daughter of your mother in the future."

Pei Jiuniang knew that Liu would not punish Gu Yuzhi easily, but she had to make sure she was punished.

"Then let her stay with me and be a maid, is that all right?"

"Mother's words are binding, and everyone has heard it. From now on, Gu Yuzhi is no longer a lady of the Marquis' Mansion, but the lowest maid."

Pei Jiuniang deliberately raised her voice and finally looked at Liu, "Mother, please remember, don't confuse the master with the servant, or the people in this mansion will lose their manners."

Liu nodded, but somehow she felt something was strange.

But she is the one who calls the shots in this mansion now, and Yuzhi stays by her side. Maid is just a title, and with her protecting her, no one can make her angry.

Thinking this way, she didn't care.

Gu Xijue is not Liu. He knows that although the Marquis' Mansion seems to be managed by Liu now, no one is a fool. Pei has managed the Marquis' Mansion for many years and has countless confidants.

Even Liu's confidants had to pay for meals. Liu was greedy by nature and was not generous to her servants, even those around her. If she was generous occasionally, it was only to take advantage of others' generosity.

Now that she has just taken over the household management of the Marquis' Mansion, the drawbacks have not yet been exposed.

After a while, I'm afraid Liu will be helpless.

By then everyone will remember Pei’s kindness.

Besides, there are many smart people in the Marquis’ Mansion.

Many still listen to Pei.

Therefore, Liu thought that maid was just a title, but he knew that his sister had completely become a servant.

Even if you enjoy the treatment of a master, once your status is determined, what future will you have?

Would the palace want a person who used to be a maid to be the Crown Prince's consort?

Thinking of this, Gu Xijue said goodbye to Liu and looked at Gu Yuzhi. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. However, when he saw Gu Yuzhi's disgusted and resentful eyes, he swallowed his words back.

Even if I told her, she might not believe it.

Why bother.

Fortunately, thanks to Gu Yuzhi's efforts, he not only got the opportunity to enter the Wang family school, but also to study with the Pei family.

Although he was just an auditor, he still cherished it.

In his previous life, although he was arranged by Pei to study with a great scholar, he was just reading mechanically without finding the right method.

He is not even as good as Gu Yu who studies all day long.

In the end, it was Gu Yu's articles that won the attention of the great scholar.

In this life, he must rely on his own abilities.

After everyone had left, Gu Yuzhi walked up to Liu crying.

"Grandma, do you really want me to be a cleaning lady?"

Although Gu Yuzhi knew that Liu was just lying to Pei Jiuniang, she still wanted to hear Liu say it in person. Mainly, she wanted Liu to tell others in person that she was still the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, and the term "maid" was just a casual remark.

Liu was upset when she saw Gu Yuzhi crying miserably. She was about to comfort her, but when she saw the white cat being beaten to death, she became angry and had no patience with Gu Yuzhi. "Cry, cry, cry. Tell me, am I not treating you well? Why do you do these things?"

As he said this, he held the white cat in his arms and asked someone to call a doctor.

Gu Yuzhi wanted to catch up but was stopped by Gu Yanzhi.

Gu Yanzhi glared down at Gu Yuzhi from above, scaring her so much that she instinctively wanted to hide, but was grabbed by Gu Yanzhi and brought back.

"Why are you hiding? Someone, go get her a slave certificate. Also, take off her clothes and give her maid's clothes. If I know that she doesn't work and still dreams of being a young lady, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu Yuzhi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. She opened her eyes and called out to Liu, but her mouth was blocked and she was dragged away.

Gu Yanzhi specifically knocked on the people around Liu, "Let me know who is gossiping about my mother, don't blame me for being rude."
