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

Gu Yuzhi said this while smacking her lips and looking towards the small kitchen.

Gu Xijue didn't say anything, but the action of swallowing his saliva still exposed his true thoughts.

When Pei Jiuniang ordered someone to bring out the dishes, Gu Yuzhi and Gu Xijue's eyes were almost glued to her and the food.

Especially the plate of white sugar cake. Gu Yuzhi caught up with Pei Jiuniang, gently tugged at the hem of Pei Jiuniang's clothes, her little face full of desire, she was about to ask for it directly.

If it were in her previous life, she would definitely be soft-hearted. Now, she couldn't harden her heart. However, every time she thought of her brother Yu's skinny and inferior appearance, and thought of brother Yu being pointed at and called a lowly bastard by Gu Yuzhi, her heart hardened little by little. With a little effort, she left Gu Yuzhi behind.

She quickened her pace and walked to Brother Yu's small courtyard. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she found that the door, which was originally closed, had opened a crack. She was immediately surprised and asked the people around Brother Yu. Although they didn't know either, she just felt happy.

Her brother Yu still cares about her, but he is shy by nature and keeps everything in his heart.

Thinking about it, she wiped the tears from her face, raised her hand and knocked on the door gently, and spoke softly, "Brother Yu, it's mother. Mother made your favorite white sugar cake and your favorite dishes. Mother heard that you haven't eaten all day. Are you hungry?"

As she spoke, she observed the movements in the house. Although she didn't hear Brother Yu make a sound, she always felt that Brother Yu was reacting.

She was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Recalling something, he took out a few pieces of candy from his purse. He bought them when he went to buy fruits from Ruyizhai for Brother Yu in the morning.

The store owner said that children like it.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on her lips. She knocked on the door a few times and said, "If Brother Yu opens the door, I will give you candy. It's new from Ruyizhai and it's so sweet."

As she spoke, she placed two pieces in the crack of the door and slightly tilted her body.

Not long after, a thin figure appeared behind the door, staring at the candy on the ground hesitantly. After hesitating for a long time, he finally picked up the candy.

All of this was seen by Pei Jiuniang who was standing by. She wiped her eyes, coughed lightly, and then returned to the door.

As expected, when Brother Yu saw her, he was so scared that he hid back, but she grabbed his wrist.

Brother Yu reacted a little too strongly and kept pulling it out.

She was afraid of hurting the child, so she loosened her grip in a hurry. However, she was also worried that something might happen to Brother Yu, so she could only gently remind him to loosen up a little bit.

Seeing Brother Yu stretching out his thin arms to close the door, she still felt a little regretful. She was too anxious and scared the child.

But the look in Brother Yu's eyes when he paused as he looked at the food box in her hand still gave her hope.

She simply leaned against the door, opened the food box, and fiddled with it, saying, "I made it myself. There are white sugar cakes, crispy duck, meatballs, and sticky and fragrant rice cakes. Oh, and your favorite sweet and sour fish."

As if she was afraid that just talking wouldn't work, Pei Jiuniang pinched some of each of them and chewed them, threatening as she ate, "I originally thought that Brother Yu had been very well behaved recently, so I gave this to him as a reward. I didn't expect that he didn't like it at all. Then I can only give it to the two newcomers..."

Sure enough, before she could finish her words, the door creaked open and Yu Ge stood behind the door with red eyes. Although his two little hands were tightly grasping the door and he was looking at Pei Jiuniang with tears in his eyes, Pei Jiuniang was still happy and distressed.

"Brother Yu is out, so why not eat with me?"

Having said that, without waiting for Brother Yu to speak, of course, Brother Yu probably wouldn't speak, she took Brother Yu's hand, pushed open the door, and told someone to pick up the food boxes and serve the dishes.

Little Brother Yu was not much taller than the stool. Normally, his mother would hold him while he ate. But today, his mother who was serving him was driven away by Pei Jiuniang. He didn't know what to do all of a sudden. He felt uneasy and his eyes were red with anxiety.

When Pei Jiuniang found out, she saw Yu Ge secretly wiping away tears. She felt annoyed and guilty. Regardless of Yu Ge's awkwardness, she picked him up and put him on her lap.

"Brother Yu, tell me what you like to eat. If you don't want to tell me, just point with your finger."

Brother Yu didn't say anything, he just looked at her blankly with tears in his eyes. He just cried anxiously and his nose was running. He was so scared that his mother would dislike him for being dirty, so he struggled to jump off her legs.

The next second, a handkerchief emitting a pleasant smell appeared in front of him. While he was stunned, Pei Jiuniang had already gently wiped it clean for him and resolved the crisis.

This time, Brother Yu was completely stunned.

"Be good, open your mouth."

Pei Jiuniang had no idea about the strange thoughts in the child's mind. She just wanted to do her best to be nice to the child. Yu Ge subconsciously opened his mouth, and something felt extra in his mouth. He moved his teeth instinctively, and then he was conquered by this strange and wonderful taste he had never tasted before.

Pei Jiuniang observed his reaction carefully and saw that his little face wrinkled at first, then suddenly relaxed, with a hint of joy in his dark pupils. She glanced at the food in front of him and guessed that it was to his liking, so she fed him a few more bites. There was no need for any guidance. When the food was next to his mouth, he opened his mouth obediently and did not waste a single bite.

She thought back to her previous life when she served Gu Yuzhi. Even if she liked something, she had to coax her into eating it. There was a table full of dishes, but she only had to take a few bites of each. If she couldn't finish the food, she wasn't allowed to give it to others. How selfish.

She was also blind, thinking that she had personality in her previous life.

The more Pei Jiuniang got along with Brother Yu, the more she felt that Brother Yu was outstanding.

Why did I believe them in my previous life and think that he was a fool because he didn't speak at the age of five?

Tears welled up in her eyes again without her noticing. She was afraid of scaring Brother Yu, so she quickly raised her hand to wipe them away, but a small hand got there first.

He wiped her dirty little hands gently, as if afraid of hurting her. When he noticed she was looking at him, he seemed to be frightened and was about to retract his hands.

Pei Jiuniang was about to say something when she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up and saw that it was Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi. Yu Ge also saw them. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his little face suddenly fell and the corners of his mouth slightly pressed down, as if he was about to cry at any time.

Seeing his reaction, Pei Jiuniang sighed inwardly. People who are fearless might generously share their motherly love, but his brother Yu had never received it, and had to watch two invaders fight for it. It was inevitable that he would feel resentful. But why did she feel that they were ignorant in her previous life?

After noticing that Brother Yu was about to run away, Pei Jiuniang said to Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi with a cold face, "What are you doing here?"

Sensing the displeasure in her tone, Gu Xijue looked a little strange, but Gu Yuzhi immediately frowned, but still hesitated and said, "My brother and I are hungry."

"Take them to dinner." Pei Jiuniang instructed coldly, as if she didn't see their surprise, and added, "You guys just wait in your room from now on, and when it's time to eat, we'll bring it to you."

"Can't we eat together?"

Gu Xijue seemed to find it difficult to speak, but he still hesitated and mustered up the courage to ask.

"No."

Pei Jiuniang left no room for them. After she finished speaking, she frowned and glanced at them. Seeing that they were in no hurry to leave, she didn't say anything more and continued to coax Brother Yu softly.

Gu Xijue's face was pale, his fingernails digging into his palms tightly, but Gu Yuzhi felt as if she had been greatly humiliated. She bit her lip hard, and dragged Gu Xijue, who didn't know what he was thinking, away.
