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

Pei Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, then looked up and met Gu Tingzhi's inquiring eyes.

Soon, she realized that she was half-holding him, and just now, she seemed to have bumped into his chin.

On the other side, Brother Yu, who was originally in her arms, had ended up in his arms and was sleeping soundly in his arms.

She resisted slightly, broke free from his arms, and sat a little further away from him.

But seeing how soundly Brother Yu was sleeping, I couldn't bear it, so in the end I could only remain silent and pretend nothing had happened.

She was a very sensitive person and soon discovered that Gu Xijue opposite her was staring at her and Gu Tingzhi.

She closed her eyes and pretended not to see.

After a while, Gu Xijue's eyes moved away.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang and the carriage shook violently again.

The driver's cry of surprise rang out outside, "My Lord, Madam, this is bad, we've been hit."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuniang was stunned at first, and then she wanted to lift the curtain to see what was going on.

But he was held down by Gu Tingzhi.

Brother Yu also woke up at this time and realized that the person hugging him was not his mother, but the annoying Marquis. His little face was immediately filled with unhappiness.

Gu Tingzhi saw this and had no choice but to hand her over to Pei Jiuniang, and said, "Just sit still. I'll go see what's going on."

Having said that, he got off the carriage.

The other party was originally unwilling to give in, but when he saw the person who got off the carriage was upright and behaved properly, and he had already figured out Gu Tingzhi's identity, he immediately drove the unreasonable servant away.

Soon, the tense atmosphere between the two sides disappeared and each side made concessions.

After a while, Gu Tingzhi returned to the carriage and nodded slightly to Pei Jiuniang, meaning that the problem had been resolved.

Pei Jiuniang didn't say anything, just nodded at him lightly and remained silent.

After a while, she thought Brother Yu was a little hungry, so she took out the cakes and fruits she had brought in the morning and gave them to Brother Yu.

After thinking about it, he gave a few to Gu Xijue.

Even though he was hateful, he still had the face of a five-year-old boy, and in the eyes of others he was a completely innocent child. If she treated him differently, she would inevitably give people a chance to criticize her.

She may not care, but her brother Yu will become an official in the future and will inevitably be affected.

Because of the heavy rain a few days ago, the road was extremely muddy and the carriage could not pass at all.

Gu Tingzhi took the guards to investigate the situation, and came back to shake his head at her, "I'm afraid the carriage won't be able to pass for a while."

"What should I do?"

Pei Jiuniang regretted agreeing to come with him at this time. She was fine, but Brother Yu...

"I think a bullock cart might be able to pass. Wait a minute. If there is a bullock cart, we can take it to my father-in-law's house first. We can send the things we brought with us when the road conditions are better."

Pei Jiuniang nodded. This was the only thing they could do for now.

Fortunately, they soon waited for a bullock cart.

But they didn't expect that just as they had agreed with the old man driving the coach, another merchant came over to discuss the matter.

The merchant offered a good price, and the old man was somewhat tempted and looked over eagerly.

Pei Jiuniang thought about it, looked again, and thought that if she squeezed a little, there should be enough room to sit, so she nodded.

The old man bowed to her in gratitude.

The traveling merchants seemed to realize that they were of unusual status and did not dare to neglect them for the time being.

After finally squeezing onto the ox cart, the old man was about to drive away when he heard someone shouting and hurriedly chasing after him.

The old man looked embarrassed and explained to the man, "I'm really sorry, there is no room left."

"Then let them go."

The little maidservant beside the visitor was very arrogant and rude, and shocked everyone when she spoke.

The old man waved his hands hastily, "That won't do. I've already received the money, how can I do such a thing?"

"What's so difficult about that? It's just money. It's not like we won't give it to you. This is ten taels of silver, enough to buy your shabby car. Let me tell you, my young lady is a government official's wife, and she's not something that some lowly person can compare to."

As the little maidservant spoke, she glanced haughtily at the people on the ox cart and the caravan parked on the side of the road.

I guess they thought the people on the ox cart were merchants.

The old man looked a little hesitant, but after thinking it over again and again, he still did not agree.

The little maidservant was very angry, and seeing that the old man refused to give in, her attitude became perfunctory, her tone full of commands, and she even said something.

"What a lowly thing! Do you know the difference between high and low? My young lady is not only an official's wife, but also the companion of the princess. If you know what's best for you, get off the stage and don't wait for us to chase you away."

The little maid said this and was about to go and chase the person away herself.

Pei Jiuniang originally thought that the master and servant were very rude, but when she heard who was the princess's reading companion, she instantly felt that the little maid's voice sounded familiar.

Just as she was wondering, the little maid came over aggressively and stopped beside Pei Jiuniang. She spat and put her hands on her hips, "You, come down and give your seat to my young lady..."

Before she finished her words, Pei Jiuniang turned her head and stared at the little maid.

The little maid was just stunned for a moment at first, thinking that she was a merchant woman, not bad looking, but she also felt that the person in front of her looked familiar. With a buzzing sound, she suddenly widened her eyes and stammered, "You...you..."

"Has it been dealt with?"

Shen Yuyan, who couldn't wait any longer, asked the little girl from a distance.

She was shaken by the carriage all the way, and then walked for a while. Her body and shoes were covered with mud, and she was about to vomit.

If she were asked to squeeze into a bullock cart with these merchants again, she would rather die immediately.

"Miss, it's the eldest daughter of the Pei family..."

The little girl was trembling.

"what?"

Shen Yuyan seemed not to hear clearly.

"Cousin Shen, long time no see."

Pei Jiuniang saw this and took the initiative to shout

"You?! Pei Jiuniang? Why is it you?!"
