The more Zhong Rong thought about it, the angrier she became. She could no longer maintain her dignity and yelled at Pei Jiuniang, "Pei Jiuniang, you are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion after all. It is the minimum requirement for you to abide by the rules of propriety and respect for chastity, right? If you have anything to do, you can come to me. What do you mean by avoiding me like this?

Do you regret it? "

Zhong Rong thought of how her husband Liu Xiao had always been thinking about Pei Jiuniang. After Pei Jiuniang got married, he got himself drunk and even became confused for a while. Later, they got married, but Liu Xiao still told her that he could treat her as his wife and have children with her, but there would always be a place in his heart for Pei Jiuniang. There was even a portrait of Pei Jiuniang hanging in the secret cabinet behind the bookshelf.

Zhong Rong didn't dare to think about it anymore. Every time she thought about it, she felt like going crazy with jealousy.

She even felt that if Pei Jiuniang was divorced one day, her husband would definitely divorce her and marry Pei Jiuniang.

She hated Pei Jiuniang.

She won't let her have an easy time.

Pei Jiuniang saw her hysteria.

To be honest, she always felt that Zhong Rong was a pitiful person.

Liu Xiao was really not a good person. Back then, he said he was infatuated with her, but he was secretly flirting with Zhong Rong. She had no interest in him at first and rejected him directly, but she unexpectedly became his obsession.

She often heard people say that men are cheap guys, and what they can't get is often the best. This is fully reflected in Liu Xiao.

But Zhong Rong is really not pitiful, even a little hateful.

She clearly had a husband who had been engaged to her since childhood, and she was the only one in his eyes and heart, but she canceled the engagement for Liu Xiao.

That Liu Xiao, with the reputation of being infatuated, took in many women who looked more or less similar to Pei Jiuniang in his mansion. Zhong Rong fought with them to the death, but she gave her deepest hatred to herself.

She didn't know what she had done wrong.

Thinking about it, Pei Jiuniang raised her head without hesitation, "I am a little confused about what you said. You and your wife are one. You just said that you pity me and want to share my worries. I thought it was because of your instructions that he came to me to take the initiative to help me?"

Hearing this, Zhong Rong's face froze. She would never admit in front of Pei Jiuniang that she and Liu Xiao had a bad relationship.

Pei Jiuniang did not miss her change and continued, "Forget it, you two are so sincere, it is not good for me to refuse. Besides, your Lord Liu said that he has a way to let my brother Yu pass the entrance examination of the Imperial College. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Zhong Rong's face darkened.

I was speechless and speechless.

That bastard Liu Xiao actually said this. That was the road they paved for Brother Bo.

He actually ignored his own brother Bo for Pei Jiuniang's child.

Zhong Rong gritted her teeth, barely able to bear it any longer.

But she would never let Pei Jiuniang take advantage of her.

"He, he was just bragging. He is not from the Imperial College, so how could he make such a guarantee? Besides, the Imperial College will not accept people with questionable words. Your brother Yu...

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean what you think. A noble person speaks slowly, and your brother Yu is naturally invaluable.

But I think what you said is very right. Not everyone can enter the Imperial College, and being the prince's tutor is not a good job.

After all, it is difficult not to be involved in those things when you are close to the princes. You know, for us who are from a small family, it doesn't matter, but your marquis now holds military power, so I advise you to think twice.

However, if your brother Yu has been unable to find a suitable school, I think it would be better to invite a reputable scholar to teach in your mansion."

After saying that, Zhong Rong took Brother Bo away.

When Pei Jiuniang saw her fleeing in panic, she knew that she was in a hurry to go home. It seemed that the Liu family was in trouble.

Lord Liu will be injured again tomorrow.

But she also felt that what Zhong Rong said made some sense.

What's the good of being with those playboys?

It would be better to find a school in a down-to-earth manner. If all else fails, find an old scholar to work for you.

But what she said about Liu Xiao offering to help was not false.

Liu Xiao had handed in a visiting card and told her about this before, but she declined.

In his previous life, Liu Xiao bribed the chief examiner of the Imperial College on behalf of his brother Bo. Later, the truth was revealed, and several teachers in the Imperial College were expelled from the college, and Liu Xiao was also demoted.

Therefore, she absolutely could not accept this gift.

...

The reason why Pei Jiuniang agreed to let Gu Xijue sit in was not only to force Liu to give in and punish Gu Yuzhi, but also because she knew that Gu Tingzhi was the laziest person.

Not as hardworking as Brother Yu.

In terms of spirituality and talent, I cannot compare to Brother Yu.

But he always thinks highly of himself.

He felt that it was because she forced him to study hard that he just read books without time to think.

In this life, she doesn't care about him, she just wants to see how far he can grow.

She knew that Gu Xijue was holding back a lot of energy and always wanted to prove to her that he was better than Brother Yu.

But she thought it was really funny.

In his previous life, she pushed him so hard that he couldn't concentrate, let alone in this life, no one cared about him.

She wanted to see how long he could hold out with his own self-control.

Soon, she discovered that Gu Xijue seemed to be imitating Brother Yu intentionally.

Brother Yu worked hard and he followed suit.

And Gu Xijue actually has some talent.

This is not what she wants to see.

Compared to Gu Xijue, she always felt that Brother Yu was a little too hardworking.

So she secretly found Brother Yu and asked him to take some time to do something else.

Brother Yu is a studious child, not only in studying, but also in other things. He is also very attentive and listens to her very much.

Especially when he heard Imperial Physician He say that day that because of giving birth to him, Pei Jiuniang could only live for another fifteen years.

Pei Jiuniang saw Yu Ge hiding and crying several times.

She also told Brother Yu more than once that she did not regret it.

But Brother Yu still seemed to be a little bothered.

But the good thing is that he just worked harder, listened to her more, respected her as a mother more, and followed her advice.

At the same time, he seemed to have some strange feelings towards Gu Tingzhi.

Pei Jiuniang shook her head as she thought.

Soon, she discovered that after Brother Yu stopped working hard in front of Gu Xijue, Gu Xijue seemed to have lost her backbone. Although she still seemed to be working very hard, the results were greatly reduced.

As expected, without someone to pursue, he was completely defeated.

He doesn't really like reading.

And her brother Yu is the one who can smell the scent of ink.

the other side.

Gu Yuzhi's treatment at Liu's place plummeted.

Gu Yuzhi used to be bossy and had offended many people. Before, everyone regarded her as the master, and since Liu doted on her, they dared not speak out.

Now, she has become the lowest-ranking maid, and with Gu Yanzhi's instruction, her good days have just begun.

At first, Gu Yuzhi acted like a boss, refusing to work or even bow her head, but she was soon tortured, whipped, and most importantly, punished by not being able to eat.

She shouted and screamed, trying to find Liu, but how could she know? Although the yard was not big, it seemed as if there was a barrier between the master and the servants.

Often, before she could even shout, someone would cover her mouth and drag her to a corner.

It’s not like Liu didn’t think of Gu Yuzhi, but she was told, “Miss Yuzhi said she didn’t want to see you and thought she was angry with you.”

"Are you angry with me? She did all those things and injured the white cat. I haven't... Never mind, let's not talk about her. Ask someone to keep an eye on her..."

"Yes, but old lady, Miss Yuzhi refused to listen to your advice and insisted that you make her a low-ranking maid. She couldn't disobey you. Now..."

"That's the opposite. Fine, if she wants to do it, let her do it."

Mrs. Liu was angry. She didn't expect that the little girl, who was usually well-behaved and sensible, would dare to disobey her. She thought it would be okay to let her temper down.

She is just a maid. If she marries well, she can bring honor to the mansion. But in the final analysis, she is just a helper and cannot compare with a boy.

When Liu heard people talking about Gu Xijue's recent hard work, she felt a little relieved.

Although Xijue was disobedient before, he is a child with a strong opinion.

The servants who had been torturing Gu Yuzhi were even more unscrupulous after receiving Liu's order. They should have called Gu Yuzhi and said, "This is the old lady's order. You are not allowed to eat until you finish washing these dirty clothes."

As he spoke, he mixed the dirty clothes that had already been washed with ash and threw them in front of Gu Yuzhi.

In just a few days, Gu Yuzhi's hands, which were once as white as water chestnuts, had become bald and peeling.

She stared at these people with gritted teeth, memorizing their faces in her heart. One day, she would take revenge.

She also hated Liu. It was clearly her neighbor, Nanny Kong, who taught her, and she saw Nanny Kong doing that. She was talented and learned, and she hadn't made any big mistakes, but Liu didn't want her anymore.

Of course, the one I hate the most is Pei Jiuniang.

If she had not refused to register her under her name, she would have been a legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, and these dogs would never dare to bully her.
