When the stalemate reached a critical juncture, someone came from the government office. It was the county magistrate and the county lieutenant who came in person.

As soon as they heard that the prince and his wife of the Marquis's Mansion were attacked in the county, they hurried over.

I originally thought it was a bad guy, but when I arrived I found out it was the evil Shen Yulang.

Shen Yulang had only been in the county for a short time, but he had done a lot of stupid things. It was common for him to beat people in the street. He also forcibly took someone's wife as his concubine and forced the mother-in-law to hang herself. But after all, he was a relative of the county magistrate, so they were in a difficult position and could only turn a blind eye.

After all, I heard that the Marquis's wife is protecting him.

But they never expected that Shen Yulang would be so lawless that he would even beat his own amulet.

confused.

It's really confusing.

The pinch marks on the Marquis’ wife’s neck could not be faked. The Marquis’s son was still unconscious, and the blood on his head was shocking.

But Mrs. Shen of the Pei family was still shouting that it was just a mistake.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant were sarcastic in their hearts, but they still acted politely on the surface. They carefully asked Gu Tingzhi, the Marquis of Gu, who was wearing ordinary clothes but had the Marquis's token hanging on his waist, "I wonder how the Marquis intends to deal with this?"

"How should I deal with this? My wife and my son almost died here, and you ask me how to deal with this?"

Gu Tingzhi still had the anger in his body, and he almost asked through gritted teeth.

As a soldier who has been leading troops for many years, Gu Tingzhi is very imposing even if he does not speak. At this moment, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant are even more frightened.

At the same time, he was secretly happy, as it seemed that this was a business matter.

After understanding the situation, the county lieutenant hurriedly ordered the half-dead Shen Yulang to be dragged away.

Seeing this, Shen wanted to stop them, but fortunately, Pei's father had someone stop them in time.

After what happened in the Pei family courtyard, Gu Tingzhi no longer wanted to stay there.

He glanced at Pei Jiuniang and saw that she was hugging Brother Yu with bloodshot eyes.

The doctor had already examined Yu Ge and her. Although the problem was not serious, Pei Jiuniang knew that if Gu Tingzhi had not left a secret guard, I'm afraid...

Looking at Pei's father who said nothing, and Pei's mother Shen who kept crying about her poor brother, Pei Jiuniang was heartbroken.

After calming down, she nodded to Gu Tingzhi.

Gu Tingzhi immediately asked the county magistrate to clean up the backyard of the county government office and they moved there.

Hearing this, Father Pei seemed to wake up from a dream and staggered forward. "Nineth Lady, dear son-in-law, why do you have to do this..."

"Father, since the incident happened, you have been busy stopping mother, but have you ever asked me and Brother Yu? In your eyes, do you have me as your daughter and Brother Yu as your grandson? If that's the case, why do you have to pretend?"

"No, it's not like that, I just..."

Father Pei had a bitter taste on his face. He didn't know what to do and was extremely panicked.

Shen on the side said, "Let them go. You have harmed my uncle like this, and now you blame us. Pei Jiuniang, your uncle..."

"He is not my uncle."

Pei Jiuniang couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she interrupted Shen with a harsh voice. Facing Shen's angry and puzzled face, she sneered and asked calmly, "Shen, I just want to ask you one question. Did Shen Yulang come to the mansion to find you first? Did you tell her that I was the one who bullied Shen Yuyan?"

"I…"

Shen was confused and lowered her head guiltily.

Pei Jiuniang sneered and said there was no need to ask any more questions.

Father Pei seemed to react belatedly, and he grabbed Shen's wrist and shouted, "What do you mean by Jiu Niang? Did you deliberately let Shen Yulang go to Jiu Niang?

You? You you?! "

"How do I know that Yu Lang would be so foolish as to kill someone?!"

...

Pei Jiuniang carried Yu Ge into the carriage. Yu Ge was still unconscious. Fortunately, the doctor had diagnosed that she was not seriously ill and let her feel relieved.

But how could she really feel at ease unless she saw her child wake up?

Gu Xijue stayed cautiously in the corner of the carriage.

He remembered that when Pei Jiuniang scolded Shen harshly just now, her eyes glanced at him. He wondered if Pei Jiuniang knew something?

He looked at Gu Yu who was held in Pei Jiuniang's arms, and suddenly thought, it would be great if he could never wake up.

At this time, Pei Jiuniang's voice sounded in her ears, "You have always been by the Shen family. You must have known when Shen Yulang left. So, if you really regret it as you said, tell me in time and let us hide. Maybe I will give you a chance..."

Hearing this, Gu Xijue's eyes paused, and he slowly raised his head, and saw Pei Jiuniang's face full of indifference.

"It's a pity that you don't even know that you are an extremely cold-hearted person. You said you regretted it, but it's only because you know that without my support in this life, you are nothing."

Having said that, Pei Jiuniang no longer paid attention to Gu Xijue and got off the carriage carrying Brother Yu in her arms. Gu Xijue wanted to follow, but she stared at him and stopped him where he was.

Not long after arriving at the backyard of the county government office, Brother Yu woke up. The little guy didn't know that the bad guys had been beaten away, and the first thing he said was, "Don't bully my mother."

These words made Pei Jiuniang's tears, which had been held back with great difficulty, flow again. She unconsciously hugged Brother Yu tightly in her arms and patted him gently.

"Brother Yu, be good. Mother is fine."

"Yes, your mother is fine now. The bad guys have been beaten away and will never bully you and Brother Yu again."

Gu Tingzhi also spoke.

Brother Yu was stunned for a moment, turned his head slightly, and saw Gu Tingzhi sitting at a table not far away.

Gu Tingzhi saw Brother Yu looking at him, and walked over with a smile, wanting to take a look at Brother Yu, but Brother Yu turned his head and threw himself into Pei Jiuniang's arms again.

Gu Tingzhi pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly.

It's not easy to make his son trust him completely.

Pei Jiuniang felt helpless when she saw how the father and son were getting along, but she still hoped that they could turn hostility into friendship. After thinking about it, she said to Gu Yu.

"Brother Yu, do you want to know how badly that bad guy was dealt with?"

Sure enough, Brother Yu’s eyes lit up.

Pei Jiuniang glanced at Gu Tingzhi and said, "It was your father. Your father beat him up severely and made him scream."

Wenwan, but Brother Yu was not as excited as imagined, instead his face looked listless.

Pei Jiuniang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yu, what's wrong? Why aren't you happy to hear that the bad guys have been dealt with?"

"Because it wasn't Brother Yu who chased the bad guys away. Brother Yu didn't protect my mother. Brother Yu caused my mother to get hurt."

As he spoke, Brother Yu's small hand gently stroked the red mark on Pei Jiuniang's neck, very gently, as if he was afraid of hurting it. He only touched it lightly and then quickly retracted his hand.

"It doesn't hurt, Mom. My brother Yu is already great."

Pei Jiuniang touched Brother Yu heavily and said.

"Yes, Brother Yu is great. When my father was Brother Yu's age, he was not as brave as him."

Gu Tingzhi didn't expect that his son would be jealous of him, but since it looked like his child, he couldn't help but praise him.

Brother Yu has indeed regained his vitality.

Seeing this, Pei Jiuniang and Gu Tingzhi smiled at each other.

After Brother Yu was coaxed to sleep, Gu Tingzhi couldn't help but ask Pei Jiuniang, "Shen Yulang, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiuniang frowned slightly and looked at Gu Tingzhi with some displeasure, "Didn't I make it clear enough?"

"That's good. I was just afraid that you would hear it... Never mind. He deserves it. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be exiled."

"Ah."

Pei Jiuniang was not at all surprised. She was well-versed in the law and naturally knew that attacking the family of an official, especially the family of a first-rank military officer, was a heinous crime.

In fact, if Shen had not given birth to her, the Shen and Pei families would have been held accountable.

That's it.

the last time.

From now on, she will have little to do with the Pei family.

But even so, I still feel uncomfortable.

She and Brother Yu almost died at the hands of Shen Yulang today. Father Pei and the Shen family were so indifferent.

Thinking of something, she hurriedly reminded Gu Tingzhi, "You don't have to give me the things I brought before."

"Ah."

Gu Tingzhi nodded and said nothing more.

In the middle of the night, Brother Yu developed a high fever. Pei Jiuniang stayed with the doctor while he gave Brother Yu acupuncture. When Brother Yu's fever subsided, she felt unwell again.

But even so, she decided to return to Kyoto immediately.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Gu Tingzhi agreed.

Just have someone cover the carriage with thick mats, so that the mother and son can rest more on the way.

But unexpectedly, something went wrong just before departure.
