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

Pei Jiuniang was not surprised to hear Shen's question, but she still felt a little painful in her heart.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen felt that she must be guilty. Just as she was about to ask her to say a few more words, she heard Gu Xijue rush in and speak angrily.

"That's not the case. It's obvious that she wanted to seduce the Marquis, and she also seduced others. She was beaten, and the lady gave money to the old man to take good care of her."

Gu Xijue's voice was childish, but his words were fluent, and his eyes were fixed on Shen.

All of Shen's words were stuck in her throat.

After a while, he found his own words and said, "Who are you..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered something and suddenly felt guilty.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My son-in-law has already said that he is the child of my benefactor. You?!"

Father Pei became angrier and angrier as he spoke. It was normal for Shen to favor Shen Yuyan, but he didn't expect that she would be so tactless in front of her daughter and son-in-law. His face was livid and he looked at Gu Tingzhi cautiously. Seeing that Gu Tingzhi looked unhappy, he hurried to smooth things over.

"My dear son-in-law, your mother-in-law didn't mean to..."

"Why don't you apologize to your son-in-law?"

Seeing Gu Tingzhi turning away, Pei's father hurriedly winked at Shen. Shen was reluctant, but thinking that both the Pei family and the Shen family still had to rely on Gu Tingzhi, she decided to endure it.

But Gu Tingzhi ignored her insincere apology.

Shen didn't think she was wrong. Instead, she felt that Pei Jiuniang didn't speak up for her and glared at her. After Pei Jiuniang chose to ignore her, she became even angrier.

She didn't believe at all that Shen Yuyan would do such a thing, and most likely someone instigated her on purpose.

Gu Xijue didn't want to scold her, but Pei Jiuniang was her daughter, so she would not show mercy.

"I watched Yuyan grow up, and she would never do such a thing. I know that my love for her has offended some people, but then again, there is a sense of affection between mother and daughter, and it's no wonder that people say some people are born to collect debts.

Besides, if Yuyan is not good, how could she be valued by the palace and become the princess's companion? So, don't think that I am confused because I am old. "

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang just curled the corner of her mouth slightly.

However, Gu Tingzhi's face turned even darker.

Gu Yu and Gu Xijue also looked a little gloomy.

Especially Gu Yu.

When Gu Xijue stood up to defend A Niang, he was somewhat unhappy and resentful.

It’s not because Gu Xijue defended A Niang, but because he is A Niang’s biological son.

He knew that Gu Xijue must want to win A Niang's favor, he knew it.

He did it on purpose.

He couldn't be afraid that his mother would be deceived.

In the dream, Gu Xijue would often defend A Niang in front of others, but when no one was around, he would ridicule A Niang.

"That's not the case, mother. Mother did nothing wrong. It was her, that woman, who seduced father. She even sat on father's lap. But in fact, that person was not father. That's why she was beaten..."

Brother Yu hadn't spoken for a long time, and his eloquence wasn't as good as Gu Xijue's, but he still tried very hard to speak for A Niang.

Pei Jiuniang was shocked by Yu Ge's bravery and her eyes became moist.

If I can see Brother Yu's progress, then it will be worth it for her to be scolded by Shen's.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What a mess. He's already five years old, and he still talks like this... No wonder people say my daughter has raised a fool..."

Shen's face was dark and she looked impatient.

"Shen!"

Father Pei yelled angrily almost the next second.

"Why are you being so mean to me?! Obviously..."

Shen wanted to say something, but when she met Pei's father's eyes, she became a little sober.

“Enough?!”

Pei Jiuniang tolerated it again and again. She was the daughter of the Pei family and Shen gave birth to her. She could tolerate her bad words, but what did Brother Yu do wrong?

"daughter?!"

Father Pei felt a little bit reluctant and wanted to keep the peace. It was not easy for me to deal with Shen, so he just told her that I was ignorant and confused.

But Pei Jiuniang's reaction still surprised him.

"Father, Mother, I was born by you, I can tolerate whatever you say about me, but Brother Yu is right, I don't allow any of you to say that about him.

You don’t have to treat him as your grandson, but if that’s the case, don’t forget that he is still the heir of the Marquisate and will inherit the title in the future…”

"What do you mean?! You married into a wealthy family and now you come back to bully your parents?!"

Shen was so angry that she almost jumped up and down and cursed.

"What counts as bullying? We took the trouble to come visit you two, but we were pointed at and scolded before we even had a sip of tea. Is this bullying? Or is it that my son was beaten by Madam Pei and bled as soon as he arrived? Is this an insult?"

Gu Tingzhi was also angry. He had never imagined that Pei Jiuniang's situation in the Pei family would be so terrible.

I never expected that Brother Yu would be bullied to this extent.

"My dear son-in-law, my dear son-in-law, you misunderstood. It's all your fault. Come here, why don't you check the tea?"

Pei's father was almost going crazy. It was so hard to get a promising son-in-law to come to the family. If things went wrong, who would the Pei family rely on in the future?

He apologized with a frown on his face and winked at Shen.

When Shen saw Gu Tingzhi’s angry face, she felt a little regretful, and mainly a little scared.

This son-in-law was a military commander, and his stern face really frightened her.

Just as he was about to carefully say something nice to ease the situation, he heard Shen Yuyan had changed her clothes and washed up and returned.

She breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately said angrily, "Yuyan, what's going on? Why did your cousin say that it was not what you said?"

"aunt…"

Shen Yuyan was about to cry when she remembered something. She glanced at Gu Tingzhi and saw that he looked unhappy. She thought that he must be on Pei Jiuniang's side. Even if her aunt didn't believe Pei Jiuniang, she might not disbelieve him.

She didn't want what she had done to be revealed.

So he changed the subject and said, "It's just a small matter. I don't mind it. I treat her as my own sister, how could I bear a grudge? For the sake of my aunt, I won't care about it.

"Well, Yuyan is still sensible."

Shen was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly, but the look she gave Pei Jiuniang became even more dissatisfied.

Shen Yuyan was good at acting cute, and soon she coaxed Shen into a smile. While coaxing Shen, she looked at Pei Jiuniang proudly, and then she remembered something and said, "Oh, aunt, my cousin Qian divorced Lord Gu and handed over the housekeeper's power..."
